Tan Shuangxi quickly stopped his mother, put the horse back into her hand, and said comfortingly: "That was during training before the war. I ate a lot. I didn't have to train during the recent vacation. I didn't eat much and I became fat. I am now
I’m receiving wartime allowance, and if it’s not enough to eat, I’ll order more.”
The parents looked at each other and smiled, which was regarded as acquiescence. The father chuckled, "Today we followed our son to eat Australian meat." Both mother and Tan Shuangxi laughed, and they laughed sweeter than ever before.
Tan Shuangxi tasted all kinds of food and used his imagination to create for his parents the glorious history and anecdotes of these foods in Fubo Army. Most of the anecdotes were compiled by Tan Shuangxi.
Ma Niao Bao is the signature dish of the army canteen. If the navy wants to eat it, it must give an order from the General Staff.
The Navy's curry rice is like feed to pigs. It tastes so strong that you will sweat all over your head after taking one bite.
Ma Niubao's meat patties come in various flavors, including pork, beef, and horse meat, which mainly depends on what animals were killed on the front line.
The grass rations were boiled into a paste, and the barrel of the Minie rifle was dipped in it before firing. Once fired, it was baked into a cylinder, which tasted delicious and crispy.
Boil the grassland rations into a paste, add potatoes and vegetable leaves, and add whatever you want. The key is to add a spoonful of chili pepper and vinegar before eating. The cold version is best.
Boil the rations from the grassland into a paste, open a bucket of spicy cabbage from Tianchu Sauce Garden and throw it in. Everything you cook with it will taste delicious. It must be from a military barrel. The ones sold in small bottles outside do not taste right.
…
The parents heard all kinds of exclamations of "oh" and "ah" and lamented Fu Bojun's life. The whole family enjoyed the meal happily. Even the diners at the surrounding tables looked sideways, but Tan Shuangxi didn't notice.
After almost eating, Tan Shuangxi felt that the food here was not only novel in taste, but also relatively affordable. He bought three more cups of "lemon black tea" at the counter. They had just seen this product being sold on the street, but their parents thought it was expensive.
I didn’t buy it. The tea here is more than half cheaper than the tea outside.
The sweet and sour drink with the strong aroma of tea made the two elders feel relaxed. Although they still blamed him verbally for "spending money indiscriminately" and "a cup of sweet water costs so much", it was obvious that they liked it very much.
Tan Shuangxi saw that they liked it and took it to the counter for refills.
"This second cup is too weak, not as good as the first cup." The boss added more water, "How about I add some tea juice to it. It looks strong at least."
"Thank you." Tan Shuangxi said, looking for a topic, looking at the battle scarred ribbon on his chest, "The shopkeeper is also recently retired from the army?"
"Yes, I was injured in Lianzhou last year." The boss nodded. "The injury was not serious. On the contrary, I contracted an infectious disease in the hospital. I almost lost my life. I also lost my health, so I retired from the army."
There were many sick and wounded patients who died in the hospital due to infection. Tan Shuangxi knew several of them. He nodded and said with emotion, "I'm not afraid of fighting. Even if I die, I'm most afraid of getting hurt."
"Who says it's not!" The boss perked up immediately, and the two of them chatted a bit about marching and fighting. The Fubo Army was still relatively small, so within a few minutes the two of them found some common acquaintances, and they felt like old friends at first sight.
feeling.
"...But it's also a blessing in disguise. I learned this while I was recuperating in Foshan. I'm going to come back and open a shop. I've only been doing it for less than a month. I feel it's okay. I won't have a problem supporting myself."
"Haha...cook everything with grass rations, Fubo military version of army pot...what a great idea!" In a corner not far from the counter, a man wearing a homespun "cadre uniform" was listening carefully to Tan Shuangxi and his family.
During the conversation, he was writing something in the small notebook in front of him. He had already written down a lot of things in the small notebook. If he looked closely, he could see the number of passengers at different times in the past two days, as well as some feedback and so on.
Seeing that the lunch flow of customers gradually dispersed, there was no one in the restaurant. Taking advantage of the time, the boss started to clean up, but the man did not leave. Instead, he crossed his legs and read from his notebook.
The boss was busy for a while and then sat down in front of the man.
"Chief..."
"Don't call me chief. I'm here to do market research. Don't you scare everyone away by talking about the chief."
"Okay." Lao Mai nodded helplessly.
"Look, what else can be found in these stories?"
Lao Mai smiled: "Chief Du, most of them are bragging about the taste of grassland rations... I have never tried the way he said to eat them. The grassland rations are made into a paste and dried with an engineer shovel. It is a bit crunchy.
Yes, it tastes pretty good. Some soldiers specially roasted it and put it in their bags as snacks."
"It's interesting. Let's try it later." Du Yibin turned over a blank page in his small notebook, "Let's talk about the trial operation stage now. It has been more than a month since the trial operation, so we should have data."
"Okay, okay, I've sorted it all out." Boss Mai quickly took out an account book and a few pages of crumpled paper from the drawer behind the counter, with a lot of words written densely on them.
"The first problem is the price. Maziaobao's price should be quite acceptable in Lingao. After all, for such a big piece of meat, you would have to pay the same price if you buy the meat yourself, but it doesn't seem cheap. But the problem is, generally
People don’t eat so much meat every day, so it’s very
Many customers say they can’t come often. I think the price shouldn’t be set too high. We want customers to feel like they’re getting a bargain, so they’ll come more often. It’s best to have some cheap substitutes. The price of pork and chicken is still high.
I wonder if it would be better if I added more fish..."
"The second question is profit. According to the price given by the food factory and the number of customers during this period, I filled out the calculation sheet given to me. There is no problem in supporting my wife and I, but it is not enough.
I pay the rent for this store. Of course, after the discount ends, the price will be high.
The profit will be good, and it will be enough to pay the rent and so on. But I am afraid of the number of customers... everyone is still trying to keep things fresh. In my opinion, this store is only suitable for the model of a mom-and-pop shop, which is enough to feed the whole family. Hire a waiter
It’s difficult, it can’t be considered a big business…”
"The third problem is the taste. Most customers say that Ma Niao Burger tastes very good, but except for M Niao Burger, other items have relatively average reviews. To be honest, this is not a restaurant where you can have a drink and treat guests, it can only be regarded as a
People passing by will give a thumbs up to a snack shop, it all depends on the location..."
"The fourth problem is the portion. I have eaten it a few times myself. In fact, one Ma Niao Bao is enough to last for the next meal, but it doesn't feel as satisfying as eating several bowls of rice. Many guests also said
It's a bit unsatisfactory, so it's better to add something to fill your stomach. I think the rice cakes can be taken out separately as a topping. If the grass ration paste is improved, it will be very filling. Anyway, if it is not enough, you can add water, but the taste
no……"
Boss Mai was very well prepared and talked about more than ten questions at once. Not only did he talk about the questions, but he also talked about his own ideas.
Check out the correct version one by one!
Du Yibin listened and took notes. After listening, he smiled and said: "You are very eloquent when it comes to business. No wonder people from the business community recommended you to open this store!"
"When I was young, I made a living by opening a shop before I came to Gaoqian. It was my profession." Boss Mai smiled, but he was a little bit sad in his pride. "It's a pity that there are only small shops here and there, and the family can only make ends meet. I have never been able to do it."
Become a big store owner."
"This store was opened for you by the Senate. You used all your skills to figure out the store's business model. Not only will you make money, but you will also be able to benefit those who are also injured and retired."
"Yes, this all depends on the cultivation of the Senate." Boss Mai is very good at talking.
The job Du Yuanlao is doing now is another one of his new tricks. It is currently one of the financial support and entrepreneurship projects jointly launched by the Political Office of the General Staff and the Commercial Department. Logically speaking, he is essentially the county director of Enping, but in that poor place, other than the county director
There is really nothing to do in sales for Tiandihui.
So whenever he has free time, he goes to Guangzhou to "work on projects". Many people say that he is "not doing his job properly".
The current project is part of the "Reemployment Support Plan for Veterans" proposed by Du Yibin and a group of veterans. This plan plans to solve the livelihood problems of veterans. Of course, at the current expansion and development speed of the Senate, ordinary veterans
It is easy to find a way out of employment through recruitment and school entrance examinations. This support program is actually mainly aimed at retired soldiers who have retired due to injuries and still have a certain ability to work, and support them in starting their own businesses.
In addition to processing workshops using a small amount of machines, the projects are mainly grocery stores, small restaurants, tea shops, small hotels and other life service projects with low investment. The Senate offers discounts or provides free space and goods, and provides free skills.
Training, the route of supporting people to operate independently and take responsibility for their own profits and losses.
After the Guangdong-Guangxi War, the Senate had a large number of confiscated industries and related operating assets that could be used. The start-up capital came from Delong's loan. In addition to the need to provide loan guarantees, the investment cost was limited. If the business project can be successful, it will be given to the regional government
created
Taxation helps the civil affairs office and the military solve the problem of resettling the wounded. More importantly, these retired soldiers can become the backbone of town and village level organizations, inserting themselves like nails into the lives of local people, giving the Senate a reliable source of trust at the grassroots level.
spokesman and sounding board.
Of course, all departments support such a good plan and support it wholeheartedly. Of course, if the project is messed up, it goes without saying. Not to mention how many people are offended, it is just a four-word test of "inadequate work"
It can also make the elders unable to stand up. Elder Du feels terrible just thinking about it.
Therefore, Mr. Du was very cautious about the feasibility of the project. Although the plans were based on the most successful small businesses in the past, Mr. Du really took the trouble to ensure that these projects would not suffer large losses due to unsuitable conditions.
