Chapter 217 Looking for a machine

On the way home, Zhou Huilan kept thinking about this matter, but she had no clue.

Taking An Dahai's car back to Splendid Washington, the store was closed after hours. She watched An Dahai leave and was about to go home when she smelled the crispy fragrance of fried melon seeds and couldn't help but inhale it.

Sniff.

It's the roasted seeds and nuts shop across the street. The big machine outside the front room is rumbling. It's mid-afternoon and the sun is shining lazily. Coupled with the fragrant smell of melon seeds, the whole scene is a picture of time.

Quiet picture.

An idea flashed in Zhou Huilan's mind, and she remembered her failed melon seed business.

Ten acres of land, half to plant sunflowers and half to build a factory, and set up an assembly line for melon seed production. The products packaged like this will be sold nationwide. If we really do it, it will definitely make more money than this restaurant now.

And these days, some of the snack brands that later became household names have no trace at all.

The more Chow Huilan thought about it, the more reliable she felt, so she didn’t go home and walked directly to the roasted seeds and nuts shop across the street.

The rolling machine was spinning in circles like a washing machine, and the melon seeds were spinning in circles. The time for this pot of fragrant melon seeds was just right. The boss stopped the machine and used a shovel to shovel the melon seeds in the machine.

Shoveled it into the big bucket.

Zhou Huilan stood aside and watched. The boss didn't say anything. He just finished shoveling the pot, pulled over a large bucket of soaked melon seeds, and continued feeding them into the machine.

Zhou Huilan agreed and pointed to her store to the couple, "When you have calculated the price, just go to the Lanshan Fang opposite and find me. My surname is Zhou."

"Boss, can you help me make a few of these machines? I'll pay for it, and you'll make an offer." Although this machine is indeed as simple as the boss said, Zhou Huilan is sure to find a knowledgeable master to take a look at it and make a decision.

It would definitely not be a problem to make them exactly the same, but after all, this thing was made by someone else first, so she felt that she still had to respect the original inventor.

The couple looked at each other, but the landlady was not as wary as the boss, "How much are you willing to pay for one? If the price is right, it's not impossible to sell it to you, but not only can you not buy it on this street

It is not allowed to open a roasted seed shop within the three streets of East, West, North and South."

If you think about it carefully, there must be quite a few people who have eaten her fried melon seeds.

Zhou Huilan smiled and nodded, "Yes, after all, we are still neighbors."

But the boss lady asked this, but why?

Zhou Huilan had a puzzled look on her face. The landlady was not one to hide things. She slapped her thigh and said, "It's the melon seeds in your store. People always come to my store and ask me if they sell orchids here."

I have also tasted the melon seeds with the same flavor as those brought by customers. They taste really good. I don’t know how they are fried so deliciously. Sister, do you know the recipe for the fried melon seeds in your store? Can you give it to me?

Tell me, if you can really get those melon seeds, minus the material cost, I will let my man make the machine for you for free!"

Zhou Huilan didn't know that her melon seeds had such a reputation in the neighborhood.

Zhou Huilan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, I don't sell melon seeds around here. I just think your machine is very useful and I want to buy a few from you."

After all, when I first built this machine, most of the things were cobbled here and there. There were very few things that I actually paid for. If I really wanted to calculate the cost, every screw had to be priced. The boss said that he would have to go back and calculate it.

Calculate.

After saying this, the couple put aside their prejudices, but they said they had to go back to discuss how much this machine would cost to sell one to Zhou Huilan.

The landlady herself was wary of her colleagues, and of course she understood Zhou Huilan's concerns. After a few words of laughter and laughter, Zhou Huilan took her leave.

When the machine started rumbling again, Zhou Huilan smiled and called the boss.

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that when she was not too busy before, she would fry a pot of melon seeds every now and then, mainly for herself. But if she fried too many at one time, she would bring some to the store and put them on the bar.

Diners coming in and out of the restaurant will grab a handful of melon seeds when they see them.

"Boss, this machine of yours is really convenient."

Just as the man was about to ask more questions, the proprietress who had been in the room came out and asked, "What do you do?"

The boss was a dark-skinned man, not tall and thin. He raised his head impatiently and saw that the person he was talking to was a beautiful woman. He pursed his lips in a restrained smile and glanced into the room, grinning widely.

, "It's not anything complicated."

Zhou Huilan was a little helpless, but she still said her intention to buy a machine.

But when the other party heard that Zhou Huilan wanted to buy his machine, he immediately became wary, "Why are you buying my machine? Do you also want to sell melon seeds?"

But the landlady's eyes rolled around a few times, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Huilan's hand, "Then do you know what recipe is used to fry the fried melon seeds in your store?"

But the delicious melon seeds were mainly due to the ancient well water. I couldn't tell outsiders about this secret recipe, so I had to smile awkwardly, "This... I really don't know very well. How about I go back and take a look. If

If I can find him, I promise to tell you."

Zhou Huilan really couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. She thought that these two people have a strong awareness of patent protection.

After spending most of the day walking, even though Chow Huilan was wearing flat shoes, the soles of her feet still hurt from walking.

"Are you from Lanshanfang?" The landlady followed Zhou Huilan's hand and looked to the opposite side, with no concealed surprise on her face.

He quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'm really not here to steal business from you. The place where I want to fry melon seeds is far away from here."

She slowly returned home. Yaoyao and Lu Changqing were not there. She soaked her feet in a basin of water and was leaning on the sofa in a daze when she heard the entrance door being opened from outside.

It was Lu Changqing who came back. When he saw Zhou Huilan sitting on the sofa, he rushed over in a hurry, "You are still leisurely here, where is your pager? My brother has been looking for you for several hours, but there is no response, and the phone number is not available.

They hit me in the drug store and scared us to death."

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, then pulled out her bag and found the pager. She pressed it twice and there was no response at all. "Ah, I guess the battery is out of power. What's wrong? Brother, what can I do for you?"

Lu Changqing sighed helplessly, "What else can happen? It's just a family matter. The old man had a fight with your eldest brother's mother-in-law at home. He said that dad's head was broken. The mother-in-law fainted and was sent to the hospital. Brother

I have to follow him to the hospital, because he is afraid that Tian Yufeng will have an argument with his father at home and ask us to put out the fire!"
