Chapter 89:
What he said was exactly Jiang Xiao's plan.
Many times, having a collaborator with the same idea can really save a lot of trouble.
In fact, Jiang Xiao has already started to do this, and he is now choosing the style of the membership card. There are quite a lot of membership management system software on the market, and they are not complicated. When the programs and supporting facilities in the cashier computers in the three stores are installed, the infinitely preferred membership system can be used.
Although some customers hate the merchant's phrase "get a membership card", in many cases, a store's membership system is essential, and its advantages and benefits are too many.
Accurate push notifications, customer stickiness, discounts for different customers, reward points for shopping, and even cash flow from customers who recharge in advance, so not only large companies and supermarkets, but many small stores also engage in membership.
Jiang Xiao's plan is a step-by-step plan. He chose to start with a brick-and-mortar store because he is familiar with the industry and works steadily. After all, although many plans are grand, they are still difficult to realize. , He can still take a step back, at least the foundation of the physical store is still very solid.
"Then let's be like this for the time being today, go back early," Jiang Xiao said to Fu Ruoyan, "It's almost the New Year's Eve, there's no one in the mall, go home, I'll close the shop tomorrow, and come back after the new year. "
Anyway, now I can't make a lot of money by opening a shop.
As soon as he said he was going home, Fu Ruoyan didn't see any happiness on his face.
The clerks in the store have all returned to their hometown for Chinese New Year. The only people who have been here for the past few days are Jiang Xiao and Fu Ruoyan. There are few customers, and the two of them are sitting there chatting most of the time.
Fu Ruoyan didn't have any desire to go home, his relationship with his family was indescribable. His so-called going back is nothing more than going back to the rental house.
There is Jiang Xiao in the store.
Jiang Xiao came here every day. He had time during the school holidays. Seeing that Fu Ruoyan had been eating takeaways, he would often bring him meals at noon and at night.
Although a person surnamed Lin often came to Jiang Xiao for various reasons, it was a very happy thing to finish eating Jiang Xiao's meal in the jealous eyes of the other party.
Jiang Xiao also seemed to see that he was not very interested.
"Let me treat you to a meal," Jiang Xiao naturally pulled him out, "I just happen to be hungry too."
Many restaurants outside were closed, and the two walked around and found a dumpling shop.
The taste of this restaurant is average, Fu Ruoyan thought while eating, it is far better than Jiang Xiao's.
After the dumplings were eaten, the weather outside was not good, and it began to rain lightly.
The raindrops in winter are very cold, Jiang Xiao turned it over and took out an umbrella from his bag.
He glanced at Fu Ruoyan and asked, "Am I taking you back?"
Fu Ruoyan shook her head subconsciously, she was not a little girl, she still needed someone to send it back.
But as soon as he shook his head, he regretted it.
He wanted to stay with Jiang Xiao for a while. The shop is closed today, and we will have to wait until the whole Spring Festival holiday to see him again.
"There is only one umbrella, then you can accompany me home first, I just have something for you," Jiang Xiao said, "My home is not far away, it only takes 15 minutes to get back by bus from here, so don't you rush back? ?"
Fu Ruoyan did not refuse this time.
The bus station is still a long way from the dumpling shop. Jiang Xiao is hiding from the two people with an umbrella. The space under the umbrella is so little, and the two people are very close.
Fu Ruoyan felt the heat coming from Jiang Xiao's body again, and it was warm.
Why is this guy so warm?
He couldn't figure it out.
The bus at night was also empty and no one was there. Jiang Xiao searched from the schoolbag he was carrying, and found another bag of candy.
"Give you."
Fu Ruoyan honestly reached out and took it.
"I tasted it a few days ago. I want to put it in the snack cabinet. Some of this brand of candy is delicious and some are not. I have tasted it for a long time, and my teeth hurt."
It is a foreign brand, but a new factory has just been built in Liujiang. Jiang Xiao took a long time to find this at the dealer. It is not well-known in China. That bag of sugar is delicious. of several.
"Peach milk flavored gummies are the best," Jiang Xiao said, "I'll give you a taste."
Fu Ruoyan hadn't eaten candy for a long time. He tore off the pink and white candy wrapper. The peach-flavored candy was sweet and not greasy.
He kept that taste in his mouth, and then went to Jiang Xiao's house.
Xia Wanwan is busy with work on weekdays, but she will go home no matter how the festival is approaching.
As soon as the door of Jiang Xiao's house was opened, the warm yellow light spread out.
"Sit down for a while," Jiang Xiao said, "at least wait for the rain to stop before leaving."
Fu Ruoyan was sitting on the sofa, and he seemed to have quickly discovered Xia's mother's bear complex.
The slippers that Jiang Xiao was wearing had a bear head, and a plush blanket was placed on the sofa, which also looked like a little brown bear.
Jiang Xiao poured him a cup of hot water, and then went to the refrigerator to rummage.
Fu Ruoyan held the cup of hot water in his hand and watched him find a thermal bag, put the frozen ice bag in, and then filled it with a large bag for him.
"What is it?"
It is quite heavy to carry.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat takeaway a few days ago?" Jiang Xiao said, "When I was young, my mother and I cooked a lot of food together, including balls, some snacks, and jerky snacks. , I have made too many, just enough for you, some can be eaten directly, and some are simply boiled or steamed, and you can eat them.”
Fu Ruoyan's clothes bag was filled with candy, and he was carrying the food given by Jiang Xiao in his hand. He didn't know what to say. When he left Jiang Xiao's house, the rain had stopped outside.
The next day he tried to steam it himself.
In the bag, there are small buns made by Jiang Xiao, stuffed with meat, and stuffed with bean paste. Although Fu Ruoyan can't cook, Jiang Xiao has already handled it. He just sits in the water and steams the frozen stuff in the pot. Just cooked.
The small buns are very small, only half the size of a fist, and the gravy flows out when you take a bite. The bean paste filling is also soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy.
It may be that Jiang Xiao gave him some blind self-confidence, and he ate the super delicious buns on the first day. Fu Ruoyan, who was very successful in steaming for the first time, was a little swollen.
The next day was New Year's Eve, and he was alone in the house, trying to get something more advanced for himself to eat.
There are fish **** in the bag. Jiang Xiao suggested that he make a hot pot on New Year's Eve. The big supermarket is still open during the day on New Year's Eve. Go to buy a hot pot base and buy some fresh vegetables.
Jiang Xiao used to eat like this when he was alone at home, and he was very happy to be able to watch TV while eating.
But Fu Ruoyan searched on the computer and planned to get himself a seaweed fish ball soup, and Jiang Xiao also gave him a packet of small wontons, which should also be delicious in the soup.
It is said on the Internet that seaweed fish ball soup is super simple, even a fool can make it. Fu Ruoyan glanced at it and felt that it was indeed very simple.
Then he opened fire with confidence.
At this point, Jiang Xiao was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at his own house. He and Xia Wanwan couldn't eat much, so every time he made a smaller portion so that he could eat more dishes, he suddenly received a call from Fu Ruoyan.
After Jiang Xiao connected, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Fu Ruoyan on the other side of the phone was suspiciously silent for a while.
Then Jiang Xiao heard him ask: "Well, Jiang Xiao, let me ask you, the right amount of salt, a small amount of chicken essence, a small amount of pepper, and a spoonful of lard after the pot is out of the pot... What is the right amount, a small amount, and a small amount? A spoonful? ...how big is the spoon?"
Jiang Xiao: "...what are you going to do?"
After getting the reply of the seaweed fish ball soup, Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, this soup is very simple.
"Don't be nervous," Jiang Xiao said, "When I made the fish balls, there was also salt in it, and the seaweed had a salty taste, so you don't need to add a lot of seasoning, so if you really can't control it, find a A coffee spoon, just put it in little by little."
There is no video call on mobile phones these days, and Jiang Xiao is not very intuitive to describe the amount to him. He simply suggested that the other party take it slowly. If he can't grasp the amount, put a little first. If it feels too weak, add a little more seasoning. Slowly try to taste the right one.
Cooking this soup is still very fast. With Jiang Xiao patiently teaching him on the other side of the phone, Fu Ruoyan is not so nervous anymore.
The seaweed became very big after cooking. He cooked a big pot of soup. The pot he used was a medium-sized soup pot with a pink crown and pig style sold in Jiang Xiaodian. The fresh pork wontons, the spoon of lard added when they came out of the pan was also just right, very fragrant.
As Jiang Xiao said, he put a layer of insulation cloth under the soup pot. This time he didn't bring it to the dining table. Anyway, he was the only one in the rental house. Whatever he did, he brought it to the coffee table in the living room, and then Simply sit on the carpet, and after the TV is turned on, the warm-up program of the Spring Festival Gala begins to play.
Jiang Xiao asked over the phone, "Is it delicious?"
The fish **** are well done, and they are very good in the mouth, and the small wontons are also good, fresh and sweet.
There are other things Jiang Xiao gave in the bag, which can be eaten directly. There are pickled sour **** radish, which is crisp and delicious, very appetizing, and Jiang Xiao's shredded beef with lights, which is placed on a few plates next to it. The side dishes are also amazing.
"It's very delicious," Fu Ruoyan sighed sincerely, "Thank you, Jiang Xiao."
Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "It's fine if you like it. Also, Fu Ruoyan, thank you for helping me during this time. Happy New Year's Eve to you."
Fu Ruoyan knew a lot of people. He received a lot of text messages about Happy New Year this year. He also called.
This call couldn't keep going. After Jiang Xiao hung up, another call came in about five minutes later.
The name displayed on the phone is "Fu Zonglin".
Fu Ruoyan's expression changed instantly, and the smile on his face did not seem so natural. He stared at the name for a while, and then picked it up at the last moment.
There was a female voice on the other side, sounding very gentle and gentle: "Ruo yan? You finally picked it up, thank goodness, today is New Year's Eve, don't make trouble with your dad, go home for dinner, your brother is also very happy at home. Missing you, we don't care about the previous things, we are all family..."
When she mentioned the family, Fu Ruoyan couldn't help but sneer.
"...Want me to go home for dinner? A family?" He sneered, "I think you wish I would die outside and never come back?"
The female voice on the phone stopped talking, and seemed to be sobbing uncomfortably. At this time, the male voice he was familiar with came from over there.
"How do you talk to your Aunt Chen? What's your attitude? You just..."
Fu Ruoyan didn't want to listen anymore, he hung up the phone and quickly turned off the phone.
Fu's family is in Shencheng, and he is in Lishi. It's past seven o'clock in the evening, and his car is long gone. I really want him to go back. Will he call at this time?
It's better to go back and live on your own.
His fish ball soup will be cold if he doesn't drink it. What is the Fu family's New Year's Eve dinner so rare? It's the same every year, it's unpalatable to death, and this one he made by himself is delicious enough.
On TV, the Spring Festival Gala started very soon. The show was not very new, but it was beaming. He sat there alone, and after he was full, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Sitting on the carpet was also lazy. Yes, after thinking about it, he reached out to the coffee table to get the candy.
There are still the last two peach milk fudge that Jiang Xiao gave. Fu Ruoyan usually doesn't like candy, but he likes this very much.
