76 The Opening
After confirming the approximate time of the project with Wendu, Guo Miao returned home.
It was already past eight o’clock in the evening, but there was no one at home. Guo Miao felt that it was strange and called Guo Fu, who said he was in the store.
Guo Miao thought of what Guo Fu had said about being a food supplier. It was probably because the store had opened.
Guo Fu’s store was a small take-out shop. It didn’t have any dine-in food, but there were seven or eight employees and some of Guo Fu’s partners.
This restaurant specialized in group meals and canteen meals. Because it was mainly for serving students, the selection and production processes were quite meticulous.
When Guo Miao arrived at the store, Guo Fu was looking at the latest desserts.
Because they were serving students, the desserts were simple but very nutritious. There was freshly stewed egg with pumpkin and soft and sweet Cantonese sponge cake.
Looking at the desserts on the table, Guo Miao was also a little hungry.
“Miaomiao, you’re back. They’re ready. Come and try them.” The one who had spoken was Guo Fu’s partner, Jiang Yue, who was also a school worker at the primary school affiliated with Haicheng.
Guo Miao walked over and used a spoon to scoop some pumpkin egg stew. The sweet aroma filled her mouth, and the light pumpkin aroma mixed with the rich milk bloomed in her mouth.
“We specially bought organic vegetables from the nearby suburbs. They don’t use pesticides. Although the cost is a little high, they are very nutritious and good for children,” Guo Fu said.
Guo Miao nodded. Nowadays, most of the food provided to the cafeteria was only considered to reduce cost and improve the appetite. People like Guo Fu rarely considered nutritional value.
Even schools like Haicheng High School would inevitably use cheap food suppliers to cut costs.
“I think if we do well at Haicheng High School, we can try to bid for the food and beverage project there. ”
After the new year, it would be the opening bid for the food and beverage supplier of Haicheng High School. If he could become the cafeteria supplier of Haicheng High School, it would definitely bring a huge improvement to Guo Fu’s small store.
Jiang Yue nodded and agreed with Guo Miao.
After all, it was difficult to develop an independent take-out store or restaurant in the long run. The best result was to establish a catering company and make the company bigger and stronger.
When he heard that he was going to start a catering company, Guo Fu was a little worried. “We can’t go that big, right? Only rich people can start a company.”
Listening to Guo Fu’s words, Guo Miao shook her head. “No, Dad. As long as we have core competitiveness, we can definitely set up a company and make it large and powerful. You and Uncle Jiang have good craftsmanship and sound selection. This is your edge.”
Guo Fu was stunned when he heard Guo Miao’s words. In his eyes, he was just a small business, but in her eyes, it had become a business that could be developed for a long time.
He felt that his daughter had really changed since she came to Haicheng. She had become a very creative person who could take charge.
Jiang Yue showed Guo Miao the menu that they had prepared.
Jiang Yue and Guo Fu had done in-depth research on children’s eating habits. The menu covered three meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and had a balanced diet.
Guo Miao took a look and made some simple changes to the menu.
Although this menu was very comprehensive, there were still some parts of the nutritional structure that could be adjusted. Also, some meals needed to be prepared with substitutes. If the production of certain raw materials was reduced, they had ways of using substitutes to supplement the missing nutrients.
Jiang Yue looked at the parts that Guo Miao had corrected and was full of praise. “Old Guo, your daughter is bright indeed. She will definitely become a great person in the future.”
Guo Fu scratched his head and laughed, not saying anything.
They were busy until 10 o’clock in the evening. The basic dishes were set. Fuyue restaurant would start providing food to the children next week.
When Guo Miao got home, she wrote down a menu and plan, including the green vegetable suppliers that she could find.
The students of Haicheng High School had different requirements for food and beverages compared to the children of Haicheng Primary School. If they were to bid after the new year, they could start preparing for it soon.
By the time Guo Miao finished writing, it was already midnight. She looked at the menu in her hand and felt very happy. She could finally use her own strength to help Guo Fu get a better life.
The next day, Guo Miao woke up early and prepared breakfast. She even placed the menu on the coffee table.
