After leaving the Credit Department of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, Lu Dong was in a good mood. Lu Chun and Lu Jianguo prepared various certificates in advance. The bank's procedures were smooth and they just waited for the loan to be issued through the review.

Lu Dong was refreshed, but Lu Chun was frowning.

"What's wrong?" Lu Dong asked.

Lu Chun sighed long and said, "I am worried about my debts."

Lu Dong comforted, "Brother, you have a down payment of 50% and you only have a loan of 30,000 yuan. Will you pay it back in 20 years? How much will it be in a month? I don't have to pay back more than 800 yuan this month."

He made a blind idea: "You can live in the police station and eat in the police station in the future, so you won't have much money."

"I think so too." Lu Chun shook his head: "But I'm spending a lot of money now."

Lu Dong nodded: "I understand that when you fall in love, men spend a lot of money."

I believe Du Xiaobing can prove this point that Lao Du spent money like water in pursuit of true love.

After completing all the procedures, wait for the bank to issue a loan, and the store is basically obtained, and the store is opened. A key step is completed.

As for branches and other things, they are long-term goals.

At the same time, Lu Dong's deposit was reduced to 5,000 yuan.

The store will not be delivered in the spring next year. Like residential buildings, it will deliver pure unfinished houses.

If you want to open a store, you also need to decorate it, install tables and chairs, and work capital. For the long term, it is best to install air conditioners.

All of these require money.

The shops for sale this time are first phase, and there are second phases later.

Society is changing, and most of the time, plans and ideals are often inseparable from the support of money.

Nowadays, braised pork and sesame cakes have become famous in the university town, and their daily income is very stable. In the morning, noon and evening, the daily sales are stable between 480 and 500, and the sales are basically around 800.

But sales of daily necessities are declining and profits are also declining.

The Western Market is there. As long as you have the heart and capital, you can always find a way to buy goods.

Next, Lu Dong is preparing to go to Malatang. No one in the university town is currently doing it.

And if a certain foundation can be laid, the future opening of a store can also develop into an advanced version of Malatang.

In Greater Chinese delicacies, everything can be roasted, everything can be scalded, everything can be washed.

As for the counterfeit fried chicken restaurant, it is not ruled out. This is what he is familiar with, and everything can be fried.

The next day after completing the banking procedures, after finishing the morning, he heard the sound of drums beating in the east. Lu Dong went over to chat with Uncle Qi while he was resting, mainly to talk about helping to modify a new car.

As long as there are materials, it is not difficult for Uncle Qi.

In the morning, Lu Dong took a minibus to Quannan and took the bus to the famous East Street of Shida.

This not-wide road is located on the east side of the old school of Normal University, and is also a well-known snack and grocery street in Quannan.

Fried chicken, buns, kebabs, sesame cakes, kanto cookies, spicy hot pot and pancake fruits, etc., everything is available here.

Even the rare potato flour in Quannan is sold.

There are five or six selling spicy hot pot on the street.

When it was almost lunch time, Lu Dong found a place to take a closer look. In front of two nearby hot pot stalls, students were soon filled with students. There was an open shop. There were three tables in the curtain of more than ten square meters, and the tables were replaced quickly.

Students who have no place can stand and eat with a rectangular iron plate with plastic bags.

The used iron plate is like the porcelain bowl where Zhao Juanjuan carries tofu brain. She throws away the old plastic bag and puts a new plastic bag on.

People who can eat these roadside snacks won't pay too much attention.

Lu Dong observed carefully and roughly estimated that in the two hours from 11:30 to 1:30, the three families had never stopped. At least four or five were there, mainly students and young people.

In addition, some people took them away.

I skewers and put them in a bag, maybe I took them back to eat as a dish.

Five or six companies sell their business, and the business is good, or even good, it is not enough to describe it, and it can be said to be popular.

Not only the spicy hot pot, most of the businesses selling snacks on this street are good.

This street has a large flow of people. It can be said to be a mature business district, and the small market in the university town cannot compare with.

But one thing is that the competition in the university town is small, and unlike here, there is no single family snack.

After one half past, the crowd became less and less. Lu Dong saw a Malatang stall free and walked over.

"Do you eat?" The boss whispered Quannan dialect and handed over a tray with a plastic bag: "Choose whatever you want."

Lu Dong took it and Yi Quanpu asked, "Boss, how to sell it."

The boss smiled and said, "1 yuan for 5 strings."

Lu Dong chose something from the slightly spicy soup plate and said casually: "I have a home next to high school, and they all sell for 1 yuan and 8 strings."

"You are a freshman?" The boss was not busy and was happy to talk to people: "Is it a small place? Not to mention the consumption of the two places, the difference in stall fees alone is huge."

Lu Dong chose a few strings of typical synthetic products such as sweet or not spicy, fish tofu, meatballs, etc., and nodded and agreed: "Yes."

"Brush the sauce by yourself." The boss pointed to the two stainless steel cylinders.

One is add water and open sesame paste, and the other is chili oil.

Lu Dong had eaten a lot of spicy hot pot, but when he noticed, the thing was already 50 cents a bunch. A guy from the south said that they never use sesame sauce.

It seems that the difference between hot pot dipping sauces on the north and south sides is quite big.

As a northerner, it’s awkward to eat hot pot without dipping sesame sauce, Lu Dong is also used to brushing sesame sauce.

It’s not spicy to eat a bunch of sweet food. Although it’s known to be junk food, the oil soup tastes particularly fragrant after it’s boiled.

Lu Dong deliberately approached the boss: "Boss, your house tastes authentic and delicious! Let's cook two more skewers, fungus, kohlrabi and enoki mushrooms."

The boss naturally likes to listen to good words and boast about himself, which is actually equivalent to disguised publicity: "I have been here for three years, and no one who has eaten it says bad things."

Lu Dong nodded while eating: "Go back to take the dormitory to eat together." He continued the boss's words and asked: "I have worked for three years and I will definitely earn a lot."

"Small business." The boss waved his hand.

Lu Dong was like a curious freshman: "How much can this bunch earn?"

The boss glanced at him but didn't answer.

"I'm curious and asked." Lu Dong said casually: "I am a student, can I compete with you for business?"

College students are very popular these days. Of course, the boss would not think that Lu Dong was snatching the business, but he still reserved it: "Half and half, it's actually just hard money."

Lu Dong picked up the cooked dish and brushed the sauce: "People say that those who study missiles are worse than those who sell tea eggs. Boss, you are too modest. Why do you have to earn fifty or sixty yuan a day?"

The boss smiled and thought to himself that the college student had no knowledge and couldn't help but show off his implicitly: "I just do it at noon and at night. I dare not say that there are too much water flowing a day, and there are four or five hundred."

He couldn't help but shake his head: "The fees here are also high, the stall fee, management fee, sanitation fee, and the cost is not low."

Lu Dong silently remembered it in his heart. It seemed that many people with certain assets had emerged on this street.

Not to mention being rich and noble, he also lives in Quannan.

After paying for the meal, Lu Dong went to a hot pot stall in the distance to buy things and chat for a while, and found a lot of first-hand news.

The prices here are basically one yuan and five strings, but the things on a string are much larger than before.

For example, meatballs are sweet and not spicy, and they are obviously bigger than six or seven years later.

These things are very cheap to mass-produce.

Lu Dong then went to Shilibao Market and found a wholesale shop I had visited before. It was just like Tang Wei’s jewelry packages. The finished products of Malatang are made here, and they are also wholesale out of the package.

Small bags are 2 yuan, medium bags are 5 yuan, and a large bag of 10 yuan.

In fact, the cost of each string is only five or six cents.

This is a relatively reliable product.

Lu Dong asked specifically about the cheapest ones. According to the wholesale boss, one-yuan meatballs are mass-produced in the workshop, and the worst one is more than one cent.

Cheng Lifeng's lesson is right in front of him. Lu Dong also has a bottom line in being a human being. He can't use cheap bad guys and dare not use them.

Of course, it is impossible to count on these roadside snacks.

Lu Dong could guarantee that if he did, he would strictly control the purchase and would not use the soup.

Whether the spicy hot pot is delicious or not is very important.

Lu Dong bought some raw materials and went back a little early that night. He combined some homemade braised ingredients with Hu Chunlan to make soup in the old house. He also brought nails on the street, including Lu Kun and Lu Lanlan, and tried some of them each to find the most suitable flavor.

The students in the university town are mainly from the eastern and surrounding provinces, and the taste is not very different from that here.

It's still hot these days, and the finished malatang is not easy to preserve. Lu Dong is not in a hurry. In addition to continuing to do business during the day, he took time to hire Hongxing to Quannan to purchase goods and feed the materials, and sent it to the construction site with the booked tow truck, and asked Uncle Qi's master and apprentice to help with the modification.

Hu Chunlan was not idle either. In addition to continuing to experiment with soup, she also went to Songjia Village to book a second-hand Jialing car. The car was modified with a tow hanger. It was originally used to pull scrap iron, and it was about 7 years old.

This old-fashioned motorcycle is quite stylized. It costs 200 yuan to buy it and run it for another two years.

Later, many old Jialings did not ride badly, but were put badly.

Just like Diao Juan, who sells fish, most of the rural women who go to the ground ride a motorcycle and play.

During this period, Lu Dong went to the Western Market again. In addition to the few daily necessities, he also bought some hot pot accessories such as folding tables, iron trays and small stools to make final preparations for this transaction.

After trying it for four or five days, Lu Dong invited many neighbors to come and try it out and found several flavors with the highest acceptance.

Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan made soup with braised ingredients, broth, chili peppers and a small part of lard. There are also three kinds of sauces, including ordinary water and open sesame sauce, homemade marinated sauce and hot sauce.

Lu Dong also made a brand new signboard and hung it on the modified tow bucket, with red background and golden characters - Lu's Malatang!

The braised pork and sesame cakes have also been replaced with the signature, and it is still written on it - Qingzhao's special snacks, inheriting the century-old flavor.

The following is changed to - Lu's braised pork cake!

After this time, when I saw Lu Jianwu again, Lu Dong planned to ask Lu Jianwu to help register the trademark in order to prepare for the future store opening.

In late October, the weather became stable and cooler, and Lu Dong purchased large quantities of goods and officially launched a new spicy hot pot business.
Chapter completed!
