"Happy New Year. This is a gift for Boss Yuan." The noodle shop owner said with a smile.
Yuan Zhou glanced at it. He wouldn't accept a gift that was too expensive. He still remembered the gift from Wu Yungui last year. Even Yuan Zhou was shocked by its rich aura.
For the past few days, all the stores on Taoxi Road had been giving gifts to Yuan Zhou for the New Year. The ordinary gifts were snacks, fruits, cigarettes, and alcohol.
The gift from the noodle shop owner was a little unique. It was a book, or more precisely, a cookbook. Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that when he was a naughty child, his mother said that he shouldn't give books to others during the New Year. Otherwise, he would lose even if he played cards.
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou couldn't help laughing. Sometimes, the things that the older generation insisted on were quite cute.
Connecting losing with books, it was equivalent to passing the "God of Exams" without failing any subjects.
"As long as Boss Yuan thinks it's not bad." Seeing Yuan Zhou smile when he saw the cookbook, the noodle shop owner was quite happy and felt that he had chosen the right gift.
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Yuan Zhou came to himself. The cookbook chosen by the noodle shop owner wasn't a lost dish or an ancient book. Instead, it was a book that specifically described the characteristics of each cuisine.
"You're too polite. Happy New Year." Yuan Zhou put the cookbook on the table at the side carefully and took out a red packet from his pocket and handed it to the boss.
"Hahaha. I definitely want a red packet from Boss Yuan. I've heard about it for a long time." Seeing the red packet, the boss's eyes lit up and he immediately received it.
The noodle shop owner took the red packet and sized it up. If it weren't for the fact that he felt it was impolite, he would have opened it on the spot.
"Well … have you thought of a solution to the problem that Boss Yuan asked me before?"
As soon as Yuan Zhou heard that, he knew what the boss was asking. It was about the increasing amount of unused noodles.
He didn't need to elaborate on the details. Actually, from another perspective, having hundreds of bowls of noodles to be used now looked pretty impressive.
However, the noodle shop owner felt that it was useless to look impressive. The noodles to be used should be of great help. He opened the noodle shop to make a gimmick for better business, but the gimmick had to be good.
Currently, Taoxi Road didn't have such conditions, and the owner of the noodle shop couldn't open a branch either.
Regarding this problem, Yuan Zhou did not forget to consult a professional.
Professionals were indeed professionals. Yuan Zhou had thought for several days but could not come up with a solution. However, the other party had come up with a plan in less than ten minutes.
Look carefully, this is a set of plans.
"Boss, I've already asked someone about this problem. I have an idea. You can take a look and see if it's suitable," Yuan Zhou said.
"What is it? Please tell me, Boss Yuan," the noodle shop owner said.
"Actually, a lot of things are about sharing. On a larger scale, there are shared bicycles, shared cars, and so on. On a smaller scale, there are shared scales, shared power banks, and so on. In fact, we can do the same for our daily use," Yuan Zhou said.
"How do I share this?" The noodle shop owner was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he said, "Boss Yuan, I'm not arguing. If it's this kind of sharing, many people won't do it. Just like before, when I was in the hospital, I wanted to get a power bank, but I couldn't do it for a long time."
"Young people, it's very convenient to download an app for daily use, but it's too troublesome for a forty-five-year-old to eat a bowl of daily use noodles," the noodle shop owner said.
In the face of doubts, Yuan Zhou felt it was normal, because he also had the same doubts when he heard the "professional" say so. Then came the key point that Xiong Nengxiong mentioned.
"The core is not to let people who want to eat the noodles download it. We'll design an app. As long as the noodle shop owner admits to join our plan, he can use the noodles. People who are forced to live and need this bowl of noodles don't need to download the app. The noodles are paid for. Once they use it, the money will be automatically transferred to the shop owner's account."
"Pa!"
The noodle shop owner patted his thigh and revealed a look of sudden realization, "Yeah. If there are several more, the noodles can be used up very quickly and won't accumulate so much. Besides, if the scope is wider, more people will naturally use it."
"The most important thing is that other noodle shops can also accept the storage of daily use noodles from kind-hearted people. It's very convenient to help more people." Yuan Zhou explained to him in detail.
"Yeah, yeah. It's true that I can't help so many people with only one shop. But if there are dozens of shops, more people can be helped." The more the noodle shop owner thought about it, the more he felt it was reasonable.
"That's what I mean. It's not troublesome. It can also be regarded as a kind of sharing of kind-hearted resources." Yuan Zhou said.
"Boss Yuan's friend is really hardcore. But isn't this app more difficult to design?" The boss didn't know much about this kind of software.
"It's not difficult. I've already consulted with people in this field. I'll arrange the details." After Yuan Zhou got the idea, he specially consulted Wu Zhou, Zhao YIngjun and others before he told the boss about it after he confirmed its feasibility.
"I wonder if those people that Boss Yuan knows can help me make it. I'll pay them as much as they deserve. I won't do it for free." The boss was a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't cost much. It's not a big deal to make an app. Just leave it to me." Yuan Zhou said.
It indeed didn't cost much to make the app. Most of the expenses were the daily maintenance. Yuan Zhou prepared to hand it over to Cheng Ying and let her manage it together with Diantan Yuan.
It was impossible for the app to make any profit. But Yuan Zhou felt that as a chef, he could spend the money even if it didn't make any profit.
The noodle shop owner thanked him, "Thank you so much, Boss Yuan."
"We are all neighbors. We should help each other." Yuan Zhou shook his head and didn't feel anything.
"Then I won't bother you anymore, Boss Yuan. Happy New Year!" The boss found it was getting late and Yuan Zhou had been delayed for more than 10 minutes.
"Okay. I also wish you a prosperous business in the coming year, boss." Yuan Zhou said.
"Thanks for your blessings, Boss Yuan."
The boss smiled as if he had picked up a gold ingot and then left happily.
After he saw off the boss of the noodle shop, Yuan Zhou checked the time and planned to practice his knife skills today. However, he didn't carve the radish today. He intended to practice a dish, a simple home-cooked dish, Beef Shredded with Green Pepper.
He had heard from Little Ya that his mother-in-law liked eating Beef Shredded with Green Pepper very much. Since he was going to meet his parents-in-law soon, he had to practice more. It was necessary to show off his skills and leave a good impression on his mother-in-law.
At that time, the familiar ringtone of the phone rang. As soon as Yuan Zhou saw the name, the expression on his face eased.
"Little Ya, why are you calling me at this time? Didn't you say you were going to pay your New Year's greetings?" Yuan Zhou said gently.
"I'm already on my way back. I'm alone in a car, so I'm calling you, Blockhead. Did I disturb you?" Yin Ya's clear and melodious voice passed through the phone.
"I happen to be free," Yuan Zhou said.
"Blockhead, I've told my parents that you are coming over. Have you made the arrangements on your side?" Yin Ya directly told him the purpose of the call.
"Have you? Didn't you say that you would wait for me to arrive?" Yuan Zhou was a little nervous when he heard that.
