Standing in front of the door of Han's Marinated Delicacies, it was still bustling with people!
However, the feeling Han Songlin got was a bit different, a sense of the passage of time!
'Hey, boss, what brings you here today?' Jiang Gui Ju was quite surprised to see Han Songlin.
Han Songlin had not been here for a long time. Usually, only Liu Yuyan would come by to take a look and then leave.
Han Songlin did not go into the shop. The two shops in the music square were not incorporated into the company's system and are still independently operated.
Usually, the money earned in the shop is used for the family's daily expenses.
What happens when an industry that is easy to copy is known to be profitable?
A large number of people enter!
For example, Han's Braised Food is now located on the right side of the market, and there are now two other braised food shops on the left side of the market entrance.
Han Songlin received a call from Xu Lu, saying that there are now quite a few new braised food shops, and that this has affected the profits of Han's Braised Food shops.
Before, the average net profit of each shop could reach several hundred yuan, but now the average net profit of each shop is constantly decreasing.
According to projections, this will continue to decrease.
Han Songlin is mentally prepared for this.
Lu rou (braised pork) is not something that you can just open a shop for.
Even someone with no experience in running a shop can do it.
The recipe for the braising sauce is quite public.
You can use the spices on the market and just adjust the quantity according to your taste.
Besides, everyone's taste is different, so Han's braised pork cannot occupy the entire market.
'Let's go to the market and buy some things!'
Jiang Gui-ju smiled and said, 'Well, come in and have a seat?'
'No, I have guests at home. I have to go back after buying the food!' Han Songlin glanced at the braised pork on the stall. It was already afternoon, so there wasn't much left on the stall.
Han Songlin went to two other braised pork stalls and glanced at the food. It looked like there was still a lot left.
It doesn't matter, I can just re-marinate it in the morning and sell it again.
People nowadays don't care about these things, or the secrets of the trade, which outsiders generally know very little about.
After a moment's thought, Han Songlin entered the market and wandered around for a while, discovering four more shops selling braised dishes.
This left Han Songlin a little speechless.
If this was the case in Lechi, then it was easy to imagine that other places were also facing the same competition.
It may not be as concentrated as here in the market, but there are definitely not a few braised pork shops in a city.
Han Songlin remembers that in the future, there will be about a dozen or twenty braised pork shops that he sees in Yuechi.
Basically, there is a braised pork shop at the entrance of every community.
It's not even one, but two or three at most!
Transformation really needs to be accelerated.
Before, I didn't know what happened to Xu Lu's plan to open a pig farm in Yuechi.
If a pig farm is set up, it can also solve the problem of disposing of the large amount of lees from Fule Wine.
For Fule Wine, lees are not easy to dispose of.
It is true that lees can be used as pig feed, but not too much of it can be added.
Some nearby farmers like to go to Fule Wine to get lees to feed their pigs.
Fule Wine doesn't charge them, so they just come and get it.
This can be considered an invisible benefit from Fule Wine to them.
Standing in front of a butcher's stall, Han Songlin hesitated for a long time. The stall was hanging off fat intestines, and he was wondering whether to buy them or not.
If it's fat intestines, the fact that they are difficult to clean is not a problem, Han Songlin thought it was quite good.
As long as you are willing to spend water, everything is easy to clean.
'Handsome guy, buy some meat!'
'How much are your ribs?'
'It's this time of year, I'll let you have it cheap, I'll charge you four yuan a pound?'
'Four yuan?'
The butcher's boss gestures four fingers at Han Songlin. In Shu, the number 4 is often confused with the number 10, so a hand gesture is needed to clarify.
Han Songlin thinks for a moment.
'Give me some then!'
Isn't this for a hotpot? Why do you need spare ribs?
Han Songlin decides not to make a hotpot with chili oil, but a healthy one instead.
In winter, chili is not suitable for eating, as it can easily cause internal heat and mouth ulcers.
Han Songlin returned home carrying a large bag of groceries. Liu Yuyan opened the door and, seeing how much he had bought, said reproachfully, 'You bought so much, how are we going to eat it all today?'
'It's fine, if we don't finish it today, we can do it tomorrow!'
Zhou Tong sat on the sofa, cracking melon seeds in her hands.
She stayed with Liu Yuyan, but they didn't fight as much as she had imagined.
They were both adults, and they had to learn to control themselves and think rationally.
As a guest, I shouldn't argue with the hostess.
'Clean up the room where Liu Yang lives, and Zhou Tong can stay there tonight!' Han Songlin whispered to Liu Yuyan, and Liu Yang would come and stay there on weekends.
Usually, they would stay in the dormitory at school!
The dormitory at the county middle school could be considered decent. It was definitely not as good as it would be ten years later, but it was still better than the schools in the towns above.
Anyway, if Han Songlin were an official, he would first develop the schools in the city, because when the higher-ups come to inspect, they will most likely just look around the city and not go to the countryside.
Liu Yuyan glanced at Zhou Tong and laughed, 'I'll get her some new bedding!'
'Get her two extra beds, she's used to heating in the north, don't let her catch a cold!'
'Just put the electric heater in her room!' Liu Yuyan instantly came up with a solution.
There is an electric stove in the living room, and it is usually turned on when they are at home.
Of course, after turning this on, you have to put two basins of water in the room.
Otherwise, the whole room will get very dry.
Nowadays, there are no special humidifiers, so people can only use the simplest method.
Han Songlin: 'This is a solution!'
'Do you need help?'
'Just go sit down! It's fine, I can do it!'
'Really?'
Han Songlin: 'Just because I don't cook normally doesn't mean I can't, I'm just lazy!'
Liu Yuyan's narrow eyes looked particularly good as they narrowed slightly: 'So that's how it is!'
Hmph, men!
Han Songlin turned his head to look at Liu Yuyan, who had sat back down on the sofa and was talking to Zhou Tong. He was a little dazed, did he say something wrong?
It didn't seem like it!
He shook his head, maybe Liu Yuyan was on her period!
But the timing was wrong!
Han Songlin was preparing food in the kitchen when he heard Liu Yuyan and Zhou Tong talking in a low voice. Because of the TV sound, he really didn't hear clearly what they were saying.
Han Songlin first stewed the ribs, and later added the stewed ribs to the hot pot soup base.
The soup for this clear soup hot pot was quite good.
'Mom, where's Dad?'
Yang Xiufang and Zhang Suyun went to the kindergarten together to pick up their children, and picked up Han Ting and Han Yingzi.
After entering the house, Han Ting shouted at Liu Yuyan.
Liu Yuyan nudged her mouth towards the kitchen and said, 'Cooking!'
Han Ting dropped her school bag and ran to the kitchen.
Usually, Han Songlin had told Yang Xiuying about the school bag, asking Han Ting to carry it herself and not to help her.
Anyway, the school bag wasn't heavy now.
Compared to children born in the 2000s, the academic pressure on children nowadays was not high.
Anyway, before Han Ze went to primary school, he was happy every day.
