Changzhou City is a city after all, and its purchasing power exceeds her expectations. In this case, increasing the number of food stalls can maximize Xia Ji’s overall income.

In addition, more food categories need to be added to expand Xia Ji’s influence.

However, the prerequisite for doing these two things is to do a good job in attracting investors and franchisees.

Manager Fu had already let the word out that Xia Ji's food stall was open for franchising, and when Xia Mingyue went to set up the stall, she would often reveal the intention to join Xia Ji's stall.

Therefore, in recent days, people have started to come to inquire about joining Xia Ji Food Stall.

The standard of franchise fee is slightly higher than that in Jinqiu County, but it still follows the principle of Xia Ji franchise in Jinqiu County, with priority given to poor families and military families in difficulty.

Compared to Jinqiu County, where Xia Mingyue has to go there to inquire and verify whether the franchisee has good character, here in Changzhou Prefecture, Manager Fu arranges these trivial matters, but the final confirmation of the franchisee is still based on Xia Mingyue's opinion.

Xia Mingyue suddenly felt much more relieved, and felt more and more that she had benefited greatly from cooperating with Madam He this time.

But since I have benefited from it, I must repay it in other ways.

Xia Mingyue paid more and more attention to Xia Ji's business, paying attention to every detail and striving to do everything to the utmost.

Jiang Zhuguo and Zhuang Cui also work hard and do their best.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the first franchisee of Xia Ji Food Stall was determined.

The joiner was a widow named He. After her husband died on the battlefield, she was driven out by her in-laws for being a jinx and not even given a penny of her husband's pension. He had no choice but to raise her three children and make a living by herself.

Because of years of hard work and making a living outside for many years, He is efficient in his work, knows how to read people's expressions, and has a certain foundation in cooking skills.

The eldest daughter and the second son are twins, a boy and a girl. They are already eleven or twelve years old. They are smart and can do the work of adults. The youngest daughter is eight years old and can also do some work such as washing and clearing the table.

A family can basically support the entire food stall.

However, the He family was poor and could not afford the franchise fee, so Xia Mingyue still collected the money in installments according to the franchise fee of Xia Ji in Jinqiu County.

He thanked him profusely and repeatedly promised to do a good job in Xia Ji's food stall business.

After several days of very systematic teaching, when Xia Mingyue felt that it was almost done, He's Xia Ji food stall opened on the street in the west city area of ​​Changzhou Prefecture.

He's food stall is some distance away from Xia Mingyue's current food stall, but not too far. In this way, they will not compete with each other for customers, and the spread of Xia's reputation can bring a certain number of diners to He's food stall, while also consolidating the brand influence of Xia's food stall.

Get it in one fell swoop!
He's Xia Ji food stall had been doing very good business since the day it opened. After a few days, the business became more and more prosperous, and even the income became more considerable.

As Mrs. He watched her wallet getting fatter day by day, she smiled more and more. She felt that this was a way for her family to survive, so she worked harder and harder in business.

Warm greeting, generous portions, buy more and get more...

He's food shop was doing a booming business, which attracted many people who wanted to make a living. They found Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu one after another to inquire about joining the franchise.

Just when Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu were busy, someone delivered a letter.

The letters were addressed to Xia Mingyue, written by Lu Qiyan, and there were two letters at a time.

The messenger was full of shame. "The first letter should have been delivered half a month ago, but the address was unclear. It only had the name of the recipient. I didn't know where to find it in such a big city like Changzhou, so it took some time." "I didn't know where to send the second letter either. I just heard that a new food stall opened in Changzhou recently, it's Xia Ji, and the food tastes pretty good, so I came here to try my luck. Fortunately, I found it."

"Ms. Xia, you have received the letter. When you reply, you might as well tell the other party that you should write the recipient's address carefully. At least add the name of the alley. Otherwise, it will really delay the delivery."

It would be fine if there was nothing urgent, but if there was something urgent to do and the master was delayed, I'm afraid they, the messengers, would be blamed.

This job is not easy to do...

"Sure." Xia Mingyue received two letters at once. She was happy and responded with a smile.

"Okay." Seeing this, the postman grinned, jumped on his horse, and continued delivering letters to other people.

Xia Mingyue returned to the house holding the two letters.

After opening them carefully, I saw that one of them was dated more than half a month ago, while the other was dated three days ago.

It can be seen that Lu Qiyan still wanted to write to her.

But Lu Qiyan was a little thoughtless. Since he knew that she had come to Changzhou City, he was just waiting for her to write him a letter so that he could know her specific address. He was so aimless, wasn't he afraid that his letter would fall into oblivion?
Fortunately, the messenger heard about Xia Ji and found her. Otherwise...

and many more!

Could it be that Lu Qiyan has great confidence in her and thinks that Xia Ji will surely shine in Changzhou City, so his letter will definitely be delivered to her?

Xia Mingyue curled her lips and only looked at the contents of the two letters.

The content of the first letter was to ask whether Xia Mingyue had settled down in Changzhou City and whether everything was fine.

The second letter urged her to take good care of herself and not to focus on business...

The contents of both letters were very short, just a few lines, but only took up half of the entire sheet of paper.

Be frugal with words?

Humph, you big bad guy!
Xia Mingyue angrily put the letter back and threw it on the table beside her.

But after a moment, he took the letter again, opened it, read it, smiled, folded it carefully, and put it back into the envelope.

After repeating this action several times, Xia Mingyue took out a pen and paper and began to write a reply to Lu Qiyan.

"The weather has been hot recently, and since I just arrived in Changzhou City and am not used to everything, I couldn't sleep at night. Fortunately, Manager Fu found some ice cubes and put them in the room to cool it down, so I was able to sleep well."

"I made some ice porridge in my spare time. I put crushed ice on the bottom of the bowl, added fresh fruits and candied beans, and poured thick honey on it. It's refreshing and refreshing, and tastes great. If I have the chance, I'll make it for my husband to taste."

"Xia Ji's business is going much more smoothly than expected..."

Xia Mingyue took up the pen and wrote on four or five pages of letter paper, clearly describing all the trivial matters in recent days.

After stopping writing, he looked at the densely written words, and then looked at the letter sent by Lu Qiyan. He felt inexplicably irritated, and simply crumpled up the letter he had just written, and spread out a new piece of paper to continue writing. (End of this chapter)
