“Thank you, County Head!” Li Jie then went to the chair beside him and sat down.

“Mr. Li, you’ve worked hard. Did something happen?” Lin Xiaoyue asked with concern.

The construction of the industrial park required a lot of capital, and the profits were one of the biggest sources of income for the Liu family.

At this time, nothing can happen to Liu’s Express.

“Don’t worry, County Head. It’s nothing serious.” Li Jie hurriedly said.

“However, the sales of hot and sour noodles and wolf tooth potatoes in each branch are increasing rapidly. The sales plan that was previously formulated still can’t meet the demand.”

He had already told the Liu family many times in Nan’an County, but there had been no reply from them.

He only rushed back because he had been waiting anxiously.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Shanshan told me about this before.”

The rapid increase in sales was mainly related to the lack of surplus grain in the hands of the people.

The snacks were not expensive, and the hot and sour noodles and wolf tooth potatoes were more filling.

At this time, there would naturally be more people willing to enter the snack bar to spend money.

When Li Jie heard that, he knew that Lin Xiaoyue already knew about it, so he became a little nervous.

The fact that the county head knew but did not give him the materials could only mean that the situation was not as good as he had imagined.

“If…we don’t have enough stock, why don’t we raise the price?” Li Jie said after thinking for a while.

As a high-ranking official of the Liu family, he knew that the county head had sent the sweet potato seeds and potato seeds to Prince Anyang.

If these seeds were planted next year, Anyang County would no longer lack these two crops.

However, for now, in the entire Anyang County, other than them, no one else had vermicelli and potatoes for the time being.

Even if the price increased quickly, there would still be a large number of customers.

It was just that the number of customers decreased and the daily sales decreased.

Lin Xiaoyue frowned.

“No.”

“The fastest route is the affordable route. We’re in the fast food business.”

“Even if we can earn more money by raising the price now, it won’t have a good impact on the brand.”

“It;s not the right time.” Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while and said.

“How about this? Double the supply of hot and sour noodles and wolf tooth potatoes.”

Previously, there was a huge stock of vermicelli and potatoes, and the Nangong Army in various manors practically used these two ingredients as their staple food.

That was why, despite the huge production, everyone still felt that there was a lack of ingredients.

The Nangong Army had been eating vermicelli and potatoes for so long. It was time for them to change their tastes.

In addition, a portion of the fat pigs in the village were about to be slaughtered, so they could save a lot of sweet potatoes.

When the time came, the sweet potatoes would be made into vermicelli, and the yield would not be low.

“Yes!” Li Jie’s face lit up and he quickly agreed.

With the county head’s words, the other franchisees wouldn’t rush him every day.

“Regarding the recruitment, after the new regulations were released, did anyone come to ask?” Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and asked.

Although the company had stopped expanding, the Liu family was still short of funds.

It was necessary to recruit some strong business partners.

“Yes.” Li Jie hurriedly said.

“In the past eight days, no less than twenty people have come to inquire.”

“Oh?” Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

“How’s the situation?” She asked with a smile.

Li Jie’s expression was much calmer.

“Only two people are willing to sign with us.” He said with some disappointment.

Actually, he could understand.

Because of the new regulations, it cost a thousand taels of silver to join.

Moreover, the opening of the store would have to be postponed until the second half of next year, and the location of the store could only be handled by the headquarters.

According to the current situation of the headquarters, the chain stores in Nan’an County had already opened.

The next step would be to spread the shops around Nan’an County and spread them all over Anyang County.

In other words, the new franchisee could only go outside Nan’an County to obtain the chain management rights.

The two people who signed the contract with him this time were not from Nan’an County.

“Not bad.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“The policy for joining the franchise remains unchanged. In the next year, we can recruit a total of too more members. Try your best to guarantee this number. Of course, don’t ask for too much.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.

Previously, in order to support the Nangong Army, she had released a large number of chain stores at a low price.

Nan’an County alone had 70 to 80 chain stores..
