The photo of Shu Yuqing shows the business name, contact number and address on the food packaging bag.
Zhou Xiao looked at the contact number and found that it was not a local company in Jiangcheng. He searched for the name of the video merchant through the enterprise search, and found that there was no such company name at all.
This has already illustrated a problem. The batch of ingredients purchased by Dejiang Hot Pot City may be purchased from some small workshops who do not know where to make them in a centralized manner before selling them.
Shu Yuqing has obtained all the information available.
Zhou Xiao's next step is to find out the location of this small workshop based on the information provided by Shu Yuqing.
Zhou Xiao returned the phone to Shu Yuqing and asked, "You guys should have finished the final exam, right?"
Shu Yuqing nodded and said, "There is still the last subject, and the winter vacation will be next week."
Zhou Xiao took out an envelope from his bag, which contained 5,000 yuan.
After he handed the envelope to Shu Yuqing, he said, "I ask you for a favor. This is a little reward. It's almost Chinese New Year, so let's go buy some new clothes."
Shu Yuqing looked at the envelope and didn't reach out to take it.
She said: "I have enough money on me. You have already helped me a lot, so you don't need to give me any more money."
In fact, Shu Yuqing wants to work hard to get rid of her past. In the past, she was attached to men, and she could live only by relying on men. Now she doesn't want to do this.
As long as she has enough money to pay tuition and living expenses for the next semester, she doesn't want to ask Zhou Xiao for a penny, she doesn't want Zhou Xiao to look down on herself.
Zhou Xiaowen said: "Then, is your living expenses for the next semester enough? What about the tuition fees for next year?"
When Zhou Xiao said this, Shu Yuqing fell silent.
Because there is another woman (stepmother) in the family, Shu Yuqing's father only prepared tuition fees for Shu Yuqing, and told Shu Yuqing that all living expenses during college should be borne by Shu Yuqing herself.
It is very difficult to get tuition fees, let alone living expenses.
The current standard of living is very high, and 1,500 yuan a month for ordinary college students is just enough.
? As a girl, if you still need to buy some clothes or cosmetics, go out to dinner with your roommates, or watch a movie, then 1,500 yuan is not enough.
Yuqing needs to work part-time to make up for the living expenses for the next semester.
But is it really so easy to work now? not really.
The merchants outside know that you are a student and will try their best to lower your price. Working in a hot pot restaurant from morning to night, you only earn less than 2,000 yuan a month. This is the result of Shu Yuqing sacrificing most of her study time.
But Shu Yuqing did not complain to Zhou Xiao, but said: "During the winter vacation, I will stay in Jiangcheng to work and save some money, which should be enough for the next semester. Now I live with Sister Qin, and I haven't paid Sister Qin the rent yet."
Zhou Xiao waved his hand and said, "You can live with Wang Qin at ease, she still owes me a lot of money, how dare you charge your rent."
Zhou Xiao smiled and said to Shu Yuqing: "The main task of a college student is to study. If you spend a lot of time working part-time and are as exhausted as you are now, what energy do you have for studying? You are the only undergraduate in the village."
Hearing this, Shu Yuqing bowed her head in embarrassment.
Working part-time at a hot pot restaurant during this period was indeed very exhausting. Shu Yuqing didn't have the energy to attend classes at all. She was in the dark about what classes she was taking at school in the past few weeks, and basically fell asleep during class time.
Zhou Xiao handed over the envelope and said, "This is considered as a reward for you, and also as a subsidy for your living expenses. If you don't want to accept it, just treat it as a loan from me, and return it to me after graduation."
After Zhou Xiao said this, Shu Yuqing could only accept the envelope and say thank you in a low voice.
There were still two elective courses in the evening, Shu Yuqing said goodbye to Zhou Xiao and returned to school by bus.
Zhou Xiao looked at the photo that Shu Yuqing sent him, and carefully studied the name on the pocket. It was very difficult to find such a small workshop in such a big city.
However, everyone is in the food industry, which is not a problem for Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao called Niqiu and asked Niqiu to come to Jiangcheng.
"Check the location of this freezing company, there should be more than one hot pot restaurant using the ingredients of this freezing company." Zhou Xiao said to Niach, "Let's say you want to open a hot pot restaurant and want to find some cheap ingredients , You should be able to find out some news at the market."
Loach has always been in charge of Luyi Company, and has long been an expert in product sales, and knows many people in the market.
Loach said: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will go to the market tomorrow to ask."
The next day Loach really brought good news, the scale of this freezing company is not small.
Although it is a call from another place, this company is in Jiangcheng.
Under the introduction of the middleman, Niach found this company in the urban-rural fringe of Jiangcheng, and negotiated with the owner of the refrigeration company in the name of opening a hot pot restaurant to purchase goods.
Boss Zhang of the freezing company was very careful. He confirmed to the intermediary again that Niqian really wanted to open a hot pot restaurant before bringing Niach into the office.
In the office, Boss Zhang lit a Huazi cigarette: "How big is your hot pot restaurant, and how many goods do you need every day?"
Niach also took out a cigarette and said, "Small-scale, it's not a big hot pot restaurant, it's just a small hot pot restaurant. The business is not easy now, the price of ingredients is expensive, and customers still demand cost-effective, really I don't know where to buy it."
These words of Loach have won the absolute trust of Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang said: "Hey, don't say you really found the right person!"
"What is a hot pot? A hot pot is one with offal (innards)."
When it comes to his own business, Boss Zhang is complacent.
"It's not enough for our own people to consume all the offal produced in Xiaguo, but foreigners never eat offal. Our hairy tripe, duck intestines, pig tongue, etc. are all imported from overseas."
"Throw away these things from foreigners and throw them away. Of course we are very happy to buy them for us Xia people now, so the price I buy is very low."
Boss Zhang directly showed the selling price of the product to Loach, "If you sincerely want to do business with me, the price can be discounted."
Loach looked at the price of the commodity and was taken aback, the price was too low.
Taking beef as an example, Boss Zhang sells high-quality beef for only 15 yuan a catty, while the price of beef on the market is almost 40 yuan. Even if Boss Zhang raises cattle and sells beef himself, the cost is not enough.
Puzzled, Loach pointed to the beef and said, "Beef is not in the water, is it? Foreigners should eat beef. Why is it at this price?"
Boss Zhang waved his hand and said: "Beef is expensive in Xia Guo, but not necessarily in other places. You must know that there are vast pastures in Australia and Europe, and there are more cattle that die of disease than we raise.
"Wow!" Loach cursed secretly, and asked, "Won't you get sick if you eat these things?"
