Chapter 1484 Solving the Problem
Li Gui, Qian'e and Qiao Mei wished they could just live in the factory. Qiao Mei had already sent the two babies to Xu Lan's place. Qiao Qiang was already old and he had been busy taking care of the four children in the backyard every day. How could he have the time to take care of the two troublemakers?
Zhang Wei and Zhang Miao had already been sent to boarding school and would only be able to come back once a month in the future. Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin only had each other for company every day. Ever since they went to school, Zhang Chao had become much more cheerful and also made many good friends. They heard from Qiao Qiang that he even brought them home to play together! When the other kids saw that they lived in such a big house and even had their own bedroom, they became even more envious.
At first, everyone was worried that those children would be unkind to Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin. It seemed that their worries were completely unwarranted.
"Mei Mei, go home and rest. There's still the two of us here. How many nights have you stayed up?" Li Gui looked at Qiao Mei with heartache.
"Mom, I'm fine. There are still some issues that are not settled yet. Once everything is done, I won't come again. By then, even if you and Qian'e beg me, I won't come!" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Li Gui could only believe what Qiao Mei said. At the moment, she could not think of any solution and could only stare at Qiao Mei.
There were already dark circles under Qiao Mei's eyes and her complexion had worsened a lot. It was all because of all the work at the factory.
No one knew where Xia Fang got the news, but she made a call to Qiao Mei's office.
"Hello? Aunt! Why are you calling me?" Qiao Mei said in surprise.
"I heard from Xiao Wen that you're facing a problem in your factory. I'm here with a solution for you!" Xia Fang said.
"Aunt, do you have any good ideas? Quick, tell me! I've been feeling so anxious for the past two days!" Qiao Mei said sweetly to Xia Fang.
Xiang Jin's troops were in charge of logistics and did not need to go on dangerous missions. They were mainly responsible for sorting out the documents in the capital, or doing things like organizing meetings and repairing military machinery. They handled all the miscellaneous work. Occasionally, they would go on business trips to do record-taking.
Xiang Jin still had some say within the army. Xia Fang had asked around and found out that the soldiers had to work very hard and there were many of them. It was inevitable that they had to eat meat during mealtimes to replenish their strength. The canteen needed at least 100 pounds of meat a day!
If they bought normal meat, it would definitely cost a lot more than the pig offal which Qiao Mei sold. After discussing it with his leader, Xiang Jin decided that every Monday, Wednesday and Friday would be "braised meat day" and the soldiers would continue to get the usual meat for the rest of the week.
At first, the superiors did not agree with this suggestion. After all, it was not easy to process pig offal. What if it was not cleaned properly and the soldiers got sick after eating it? Besides, who knew if Qiao Mei's food was edible or not? If something really happened, they would not be able to explain themselves.
However, such a small matter was not a problem for Xia Fang at all. Xia Fang secretly bought a lot of pig offal made by Li Gui behind Qiao Mei's back. After that, Qian'e and her went to sell braised meat in the military family compound for three consecutive days, making sure that every family had eaten Qiao Mei's braised meat before they started to publicize where the meat came from.
At some point, the superiors' family members would have bought the meat home to feed the family. Gradually, the brand name Osmanthus Braised Meat became well-known for selling delicious meat. Everyone expressed their intention to buy more, but Xia Fang's stall was not open for sale anymore and they had nowhere to buy it. Nowadays, the family members even forced the men at home to buy more food during lunchtime so that they could bring it home to eat.
"Oh my goodness, this is such a great help! I don't even know how to thank you," Qiao Mei said agitatedly.
If Xiang Jin's troops were receptive to the food, then other troops would also ask their superior for approval when they heard the news. If only one person wanted to eat it , then that person would have to think of a way to solve the problem personally. If all the soldiers wanted to eat the same thing, then the cookhouse staff would need to work hard!
Qiao Mei was very confident in things that she made. There was definitely no one in this world who could surpass her braised pig offal!
"It's not only that! Have you forgotten that my brother is the director of the hospital? My colleagues in the hospital all like to eat your braised meat. The canteen in our hospital also wants to order from you!" Xia Fang said happily.
