Before Hua Zhao returned to the mountains, he visited Xu Mei again.
Xu Mei returned to live in the compound that was being renovated, and Liu Qian and several others also live here now.
These people will probably live here for a year or two. When business can be done openly outside, Hua Zhao will consider opening a factory and building a dormitory for them to move there.
In this case, there was no need to delay the construction period or find anyone. A few men simply decorated the house under the direction of the original decorator.
Hua Zhao arrived just in time. Li Xiaojiang and Zhao Cuicui were also here. They came to Xu Mei to discuss follow-up cooperation matters.
Seeing Hua Zhao, Xu Mei and Li Xiaojiang both wanted to hear her opinion.
"I don't care. I'm only responsible for providing money and running the business. Xu Mei has the final say." She assigned Xu Mei a title.
Xu Mei's face looks much better.
Although I have no objection to Li Xiaojiang's participation, it is impossible to say that I don't mind at all.
It's not that she minded if someone came to share the money, anyway, it wasn't her 30% that got divided... It was the question of who had the final say in the future that bothered her.
In the past, she and Zhang Guilan discussed everything, and Zhang Guilan was easy to talk to. The two of them never had conflicts, but Li Xiaojiang... no, Zhao Cuicui, the person next to Li Xiaojiang, seemed to have a big idea.
Annoying.
Sure enough, when she heard Hua Zhao say that Xu Mei had the final say in business matters, Zhao Cuicui paused for a moment, but she didn't say anything.
The pot wasn't even close yet, so now was not the time for her to speak.
The rest will be easy to handle. Xu Mei has been working for so long and has figured out everything. She can just treat Li Xiaojiang and Zhao Cuicui as ordinary workers and assign them work.
It's just that when the dividend is distributed, they will be divided into 20%.
Otherwise, what else can we let them do? They are just selling braised pork. Without them, they are still running well.
"The place has been found and we can start working today," Xu Mei said.
With so many people, we couldn't just sit idle. Hua Zhao had no intention of doing it, but he also ordered Xu Mei and Liu Qian to go out and find a venue so that they could continue their business.
Now the venue has been found. It is on the other side of the city, diagonal from the previous Lijia Village, far away!
Thinking of Lijiacun, Xu Mei thought of the two lost freezers, which she had just bought not long ago! She couldn't help but give Li Xiaojiang a rollicking look.
Li Xiaojiang also thought about it: "I'll go home later and see if I can get the freezer back..."
He didn't dare to guarantee it.
"It's better not to go." Hua Zhao said, "Let them pester you again and force you to bring them to my house."
"I won't listen to them!" Li Xiaojiang promised.
"What if your parents kneel down to beg you? What if the whole village kneels down to beg you? If you don't agree, they will lock you up and not release you?" Hua Zhao said.
Li Xiaojiang was speechless. He suddenly felt that what Hua Zhao said was not impossible.
What a risk! It seems that he will not be able to return to Lijiacun in the future!
Xu Mei also said: "When construction starts in the future, you two should stay away from this alley to avoid being followed by them."
Li Xiaojiang nodded repeatedly. He felt that Xu Mei was right, and this was also possible!
But Zhao Cuicui looked at Xu Mei. This woman had a very bad temper and was difficult to get along with, and she seemed to dislike her and Li Xiaojiang...
She immediately smiled and said: "In the future, when we go to the factory to sell things, we will be careful not to let the Li family come looking for us!"
"Yes." Xu Mei looked at her and nodded with satisfaction. The idea was perfectly fine, as long as it made sense.
Liu Qian and the others happened to be moving today, to the factory over there, so as not to waste time on the way back and forth.
By the way, they took Li Xiaojiang away to identify themselves.
Xu Mei then asked Hua Zhao: "What should I do with the secret recipe? Let them know?"
"Let them know. If it doesn't work, let Zhao Cuicui help you process it at home in the future, so that you won't be exhausted every day." Hua Zhao said.
Nowadays, there are more people, more sales, and of course more things are done. Xu Mei is doing it all by herself, and she is so busy that she can't even straighten her back from exhaustion at night.
"Is it possible?" Xu Mei asked worriedly.
"There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, as you've seen, braised pork is easy to make. All you need is peppercorns, aniseed and soy sauce. If you can't make it well, is it good? As long as you make it, you can sell it no matter what. So we have this business
I can’t monopolize it,” Hua Zhao said.
"It's still different! If it's not delicious, one person can't sell 10 kilograms a day, but we can sell 100 kilograms a day!" Xu Mei said: "Our secret recipe is valuable!"
Of course Hua Zhao also knew that she was just trying to comfort Xu Mei because she was reluctant to let her go.
"Liu Qian and the others all knew the secret recipe. Li Xiaojiang is different now, so it doesn't matter if he knows." Hua Zhao said.
"Li Xiaojiang knows that I have no objection, but I think Zhao Cuicui is a big-hearted person. It is said that her family is huge, with more than ten uncles! She even has seven or eight younger brothers... I'm afraid that she will be lax in her words."
When we were chatting just now, Zhao Cuicui had already explained everything about her family situation.
Xu Mei added: "I just went to those people before. They didn't know the formula when they left, so they didn't steal much of our market. But if Zhao Cuicui knows about it and spreads it out, it will be a market grab.
"Besides, she and Li Xiaojiang are just dating now. I don't know if it will work out. I don't think Li Xiaojiang can play with her." Then they will take advantage of outsiders.
"It's okay. If Zhao Cuicui is unreliable, he should teach Li Xiaojiang a lesson." Hua Zhao said.
She didn't care at all, because the braised pork seasoning she used now was created by herself, and the food she made was so delicious that no one could compare with it.
Even if Zhao Cuicui knows the secret recipe, the things she makes are incomparable to hers.
"Besides, the capital is so big and the market is so big, we can't take it all by ourselves. We have to tolerate the emergence of competitors." Hua Zhao added.
"Okay, you're not afraid and I'm not afraid either." Xu Mei saw that she seemed determined to let Li Xiaojiang participate, so let's do it.
"By the way, has Feng Long given you trouble again recently?" Hua Zhao asked.
"I didn't see him, so I don't know." Xu Mei said.
"What about your home?" Hua Zhao asked again.
"I don't know about this. I haven't been out since then, and they don't dare to trouble me even if they want to." Xu Mei said, "Now that I have moved, they can't even find me."
This may be the only benefit of moving.
After chatting for a few more words, Hua Zhao was about to leave if nothing happened.
Xu Mei suddenly asked: "I heard that Brother Ye is divorced? Is it true?" She looked frightened and curious.
Ye Ming can actually get divorced? What happened to this world?
"It's divorce. Who did you listen to?" Hua Zhao asked.
"It's spread outside. I met an acquaintance on the road yesterday when I went out, and she told me," Xu Mei said.
Hua Zhao asked her what kind of acquaintance she was, and found out that she was just a neighbor from the Xu family.
This has nothing to do with Ye Ming's relationship with the Ye family. At best, there is a neighbor named Ye Fang.
It was all spread to Ye Fang's family home, and everyone knew about it.
"It shouldn't be? Who passed it on?" Hua Zhao asked curiously.
In order to save Wen Jing's face, Ye Ming meant that the divorce should not be publicized and they should separate quietly.
And I don't think Wen Jing and Wen Jia would make it public.
But this time Hua Zhao guessed wrong, and it was Wen Jia Yang who initiated the matter.
They didn't mean it, they just made a big fuss.
Wen Jing came back that day and beat Wen Ruo and Wen Da away. The next day, the Wen family came to the house.
They are not here to cause trouble, they are here to "accompany" Wen Jing.
