The new model farm cafe tries its best to express the atmosphere of the old time and space. Although it is very shoddy, it still fully satisfies the nostalgia of the veterans. This is the success of the farm cafe.
The newly ordered glassware and bone china sent from Xiao Bailang are piled in the room. The sets of glassware and bone china are all made according to the classic styles of the old time and space. In addition to serving coffee, rum, and
In addition to fruit wine and kvass, they are also preparing to supply soft drinks and soda water. Under the leadership of Jiang Ye, a team from the machinery factory copied a soda machine based on the drawings and also manufactured several filling and sealing equipment. This semi-
Mechanized filling equipment can produce small batches of soda in glass marble bottles - this was the standard packaging of soda before there were disposable tinplate bottle caps.
Soda water flavored only with sugar and citric acid has a purer taste than kvass and does not have the unique bready sourness of kvass. And the cost is extremely low. If you don't add any, you can still make pure soda water.
To prepare alcoholic beverages, add salt to prepare salt soda commonly used in high-temperature departments.
Mo Xiao'an once hoped to add fruit juice and the like to make juice soda, but the chemical industry of time travelers cannot yet provide very effective food preservatives - things like sodium benzoate. It is better to use as little natural products as possible.
The new building that has just been built is undergoing internal decoration work. Carpenters and painters are coming in and out. The floor is piled with cut boards and angles. Ceramic tiles, mosaic veneers and sanitary ware shipped from the porcelain factory are piled on the awning.
Below, these things, like glassware and bone china, were sold to Xiao Bailang in a formal manner at the "internal allocation price".
Not only are these things provided by Xiao Bailang, but they also include tables, chairs, and boards shipped from the forestry department wood processing factory in Hailin; cement and bricks shipped from the building materials factory; soda fountains and hardware accessories provided by the machinery factory
, tablecloths provided by textile factories, uniforms for waiters... nothing can be obtained without paying the allocation price.
The money Wu Nanhai borrowed from Wu Di was losing money at a rapid rate - he could only comfort himself and wait until the cafe opened to earn it all back.
The project is progressing very quickly. Wu Nanhai estimates that the cleaning process will begin in another week.
Then it's time to replenish the goods and open the door to welcome customers.
Wu Nanhai took a slightly painful look at Wu Di, who was settling accounts under a shed. After Wu Di loaned the money to Wu Nanhai, he would come to the construction site once a day to check the daily purchase and use of construction and decoration materials, and calculate the expenses.
To see if any loans were wasted. He also volunteered to act as a collector and supervisor on the construction site.
He had an uncomfortable feeling - he recalled the plots described in many novels, where small businessmen fell into the tricks of evil bankers and were saddled with heavy debts. In the end, the properties they spent a lot of investment on were taken away cheaply by banks using loans.
Let's go. Of course, Lingao is structurally unnecessary.
"It will be open in one week." Wu Nanhai murmured to himself. Although he usually behaves as an "approachable", "easy-going" and "easy-to-talk" good person, he is also consistent in the Senate where there are already signs of a power struggle.
It's low-key, but in fact, when I wake up from my dream at midnight, I am also secretly thinking about my future.
Judging from his current situation, there is no problem in getting into the middle ranks among the 500 people. Although the status of the Agricultural Committee has declined during the organizational restructuring, the issue of food has always been the central issue of the Senate and the Executive Committee.
As long as agriculture is under control, anyone who comes to power must pay full attention to it.
Wu Nanhai considered whether he should run for the position of Speaker of the Senate, which is still vacant on the executive committee. However, he decided not to get involved for the time being. This position of Speaker is now coveted by many senators who do not have important positions but have certain influence.
Target. It is very likely that many people are ready to jump out and run for office, and it is inevitable that they will end up losing their lives.
In terms of his own strength: he is popular and popular. The chance of winning the election is about 50-50. The problem is that once he succeeds in the election, he will have to resign as the People's Commissar of Agriculture - he doesn't want to lose this job he has invested a lot of money in.
The land of hard work.
He knew very well that once he became the Speaker, he would probably embark on the path of a professional politician. This path was certainly good, but in this way he would lose the possibility of continuing to operate in the agricultural field. As for what is new?
Wu Ji and Monsanto in the century are even more distant dreams.
Being a government requires a lot of funds - although no one knows what the future government system will look like through the empire, but money, the lubricant for government operations, is applicable in any time and space. At the moment, there is no
Elders are allowed to own personal properties, but this ban will most likely be relaxed in the future. At that time, he will need his own business management talents.
Out of this consideration, Wu Nanhai not only fully funded Li Quan's education, but also sent Chu Qing to several training courses. In addition to basic cultural knowledge, they were business and accounting. He originally wanted to recruit Li Quan.
Tsuen's mother, Li Mo, asked to come back from the Ministry of Health, but Dr. Shi cunningly refused his request on the pretext that he had "received full nursing training."
As soon as the cafe opened, he planned to let Chu Qing be the manager of the cafe and give his woman a special project. Wu Nanhai wanted to see if Chu Qing had the ability to take charge of her own business?
As for the apprentices he has recruited: brothers Lu A and Lu B, he plans to cultivate and promote them as much as possible so that they will become the backbone of the agricultural front and form a force in the Ministry of Agriculture.
He is still planning to wait until the "Elder Family Relations Act" is promulgated to select a few young children from immigrants as adopted children, and then accept a few apprentices...
However, the top priority is to have children of his own! Wu Nanhai suddenly realized: the age of adopted children can easily form their own power in the family. If his biological children are too young when he dies, won't he suffer a loss? Thinking of this, he again
He felt that his idea was very sinful - his adopted children were also his own children, so how could he favor one over the other? This was against equality and benevolence. But he quickly comforted himself: Human genes are always selfish.
He had not thought about this inheritance issue in the past, but the news that Tang Menglong's life secretary was pregnant greatly stimulated him. Wu Nanhai couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chu Qing - in the past, he only regarded sex as a physiological need, but now that he thinks about it, it is still
An important matter.
Chu Qing was standing in front of the newly renovated wooden open-air bar, bending over and looking curiously at the bulky gas refrigerator. She had shoulder-length hair, fixed with hairpins, and wore an office tailor-made dress.
Wearing a replica of old-time style silk dress, knitted cotton socks, and a pair of rattan sandals - this very ordinary outfit suddenly caused Wu Nanhai's hormones to secrete in large quantities.
While staring at her waist and round buttocks, thinking about what to do with them that night, Chu Qing suddenly turned around:
"master--"
"Hmm, huh?" Wu Nanhai's delusion was interrupted, and he quickly changed his standing posture to avoid being noticed by others.
Although the relationship between him and Chu Qing was no longer a "pure male-female relationship" a year ago, there was still an ambiguous sense of alienation between the two.
“Why a refrigerator?”
"Make ice cubes." Ice cubes are the best gift in the summer in Lingao, and the consumption is very large. "We also make shaved ice and popsicles."
Wu Nanhai originally wanted to make ice cream, but there were not many cows and the supply of milk was insufficient. This matter was temporarily shelved, but there was no difficulty in supplying shaved ice and popsicles. Popsicles are nothing more than purified water plus sugar, fruit juice, and spice plants.
Just freeze mung beans and adzuki beans.
As for shaved ice, it’s even simpler. The machinery factory has made several hand-cranked shaved ice machines, which can process shaved ice for up to ten people at a time.
Whether it is red beans, mung beans or various fruits, the sugary juice of the shaved ice is easy to prepare here. It is conceivable that this cold drink that is loved by women can effectively empty the pockets of the elders.
"You will be in charge of running this place from now on." Wu Nanhai said with a smile.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Me?" She smiled and shook her head: "I don't dare, I can't do it."
"I believe in your ability - didn't you take a business training course?"
"If you want me to make plans, keep accounts, and help the master with errands, it's okay, but if you want me to be the boss's wife..." Chu Qing suddenly realized that the title boss's wife was inappropriate, and blushed, "...female shopkeeper, I can't do that.
.”
"Have confidence." Wu Nanhai's hand took the opportunity to hold her slender waist.
"Master—" Chu Qing lowered her head shyly, "The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly."
Wu Nanhai coughed and let go of her waist. "Although this cafe is small, it is very important to us. You have to run it well."
"The bosses are very picky in their requirements." Chu Qing was still hesitating, "I'm afraid of people when I drink too much and go crazy." She thought of the maid revolution - in her opinion, the cause of the riot that night was drinking too much.
. She lowered her head and thought for a while, "Okay, I will be the female shopkeeper... But what if we lose money? This should be a Senate business."
"Don't worry, it won't be a loss. There is a huge demand for leisure." Wu Nanhai smiled, "I will give you some advice on the details, just help me hold on to the situation. Maybe there will be more in the future.
The big deals are your responsibility."
"It all depends on the master's instructions." Chu Qing said, "I will definitely do my best."
When Wu Nanhai was immersed in the dream of a business empire, gunfire suddenly rang out outside.
He was shocked. This area is the core of the Cross-Travel Group's rule. How come gunshots suddenly rang out?
