In the Northeast, it is popular to eat dumplings on the winter solstice.

And some wealthy families like to eat hot pot on the day of the winter solstice, and then cook dumplings in the hot pot.

Li Zhongxin was very fond of eating hot pot in his later life, and when he remembered eating hot pot on the winter solstice, he immediately sat on pins and needles.

At this time, his idea is very simple, nothing more than that he wants his family to live happily and happily, and in winter, he must eat delicious hot pot several times.

Sauerkraut is available, vermicelli is available, supermarkets and food stores have all kinds of materials, and you can get whatever ingredients you want.

Thinking of hot pot, Li Zhongxin immediately called Wang Bo over and began to study with Wang Bo.

Li Zhongxin told Wang Bo that on the day of the winter solstice, he ate shabu shabu at home, and prepared a few hot pot ingredients for Dong Guozhong, Liang Guofu and Li Yongguo and others.

In the early 80s, families were very poor, and it was a symbol of luxury to want to have a good hot pot.

Li Zhongxin's house did not have a hot pot at this time, so he told Wang Bo to find him the best Manchu copper hot pot in Jiangcheng, and if he could buy it, he would buy three or four directly, keep one at home, keep two at Zhubantun Zhongxin Company, and send one to his aunt's house.

Other electric hot pots, or hot pots made from ordinary pots, taste far less fragrant than authentic copper hot pots.

In the 80s, I ate hot pot in the winter in the Northeast, and the bottom of the hot pot was the kind of quick-frozen sea crab, and the soup was a fresh pork soup made with good pork belly, sprinkled with some dried shrimp, and some green onions and ginger, just waiting for the shabu-shabu.

In the 80s, the shabu in the hot pot was mainly mutton and pork belly, and some people who had the money or ability to get other meat were shabu roe deer meat or venison in the hot pot.

Li Zhongxin gave Wang Bo a death order, and the mutton should be the kind that the whole sheep should be killed, so he would buy a few good sheep from Zhubantun and Fulong Village.

On the day of the winter solstice, I ate hot pot, and I killed it that morning, and brought the best shabu-shabu to my home, and gave the rest to the canteen of Zhongxin Company, so that the people in the canteen could improve the food for the people of the company.

The sheep is the most suitable for making dumplings, after shaving, let the canteen wrap some quick-frozen dumplings with mutton filling, and when the time comes to eat hot pot to the end, everyone can eat a few dumplings, which is also a feature of the winter solstice.

If you can't eat that thing, you can throw it directly into the vat in the yard, and it will freeze directly, and you can eat it whenever you want.

When buying venison at the deer farm, you have to buy some when you see the deer effort, and if there is no deer effort, the deer blood will also be dealt with.

In addition to setting aside some of the materials bought by Zhongxin Company, Wang Bo also asked Wang Bo to send some to his aunt's house.

On Jiangcheng's side, Li Zhongxin's relationship with his aunt and uncle is the closest, and his relationship with his cousin and cousin is the closest, but after he was reborn, he has been busy with the affairs of Zhongxin's company, and he has been there many times.

My uncle is an SD person, and he especially likes to eat seafood and hot pot, and now that he has the conditions, he naturally has to take this factor into account.

My cousin and cousin are both in their teens now, both in high school, and it is also a pretty good thing to get them more delicious food to replenish their bodies, and after they graduate from college, Li Zhongxin is ready to consult them, if they are interested in entering the Zhongxin Company, let them join the Zhongxin Company to do business with him, and if they want to go to officialdom, then let them become officials.

On December 22, 1982, the eighth day of the winter month of the lunar calendar, this day is the winter solstice.

Wang Bo got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, he came to Li Zhongxin's house with the materials for making hot pot that Li Zhongxin had ordered.

When Li Zhongxin saw the pile of materials that Wang Bo had taken, he immediately became happy.

He told Wang Bo that some fresh lamb leg meat and fresh venison were set aside, and the lamb chops and roe deer meat were rolled into large rolls, and the large bag of quick-frozen mutton-stuffed dumplings were put outside the house to be frozen, and the mutton slices were shaved and eaten at night when the hot pot was to be eaten.

After explaining this, Li Zhongxin led Wang Bo to the Zhongxin grocery chain to find Hong Bin to study how to carry out the activities on New Year's Day.

In recent times, the performance of the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain has risen steadily, and the daily sales amount of the entire supermarket chain can reach a terrifying 6,000 yuan, even if Li Zhongxin sets the price very low, and most items only have a profit of about 10 percent, Rao is like this, the net profit can reach about 500 yuan a day.

The New Year's Day of '82 is approaching, and Li Zhong has his plans in confidence.

In the year of '82, he basically made a lot of money, and seeing that it was about to be '83, he decided to give back to these fathers and villagers in Jiangcheng who never left the faithful grocery chain.

It's just that Li Zhongxin has not come up with this plan, if you want to say what people lack most in this era, that is, pork and beef and mutton meat and other meat products, but Li Zhongxin can't buy these products even if they are open to purchase, once they are used for activities like this, it is estimated that it will not take much time to be snapped up.

Once groceries are sold at special prices, people will have a sense of distrust in the profits of the faithful grocery supermarket when they buy them in the future.

Originally, it was to use the volume of goods taken from manufacturers and large wholesalers to generate profits and sales rebates, but once the profits were compressed, it would be difficult to sell them at normal prices in the future.

According to the practice of the supermarket during the New Year festival in later generations, combined with the ideas of Hong Bin and Wang Bo, Li Zhongxin finally decided to come up with several plans.

Plan 1: If you have a surprise shopping on New Year's Day, you can get a five-dime voucher and a lottery ticket if you spend more than 10 yuan. As long as the purchase reaches 10 yuan, you can get such a discount, if it reaches 20 yuan, you can get a voucher of 1 yuan and two lottery tickets, and so on.

Plan 2, New Year's Day Family Portrait, Happy New Year's Day Family Affection and Love Giveaway Activity, where there are elderly people in the family, and the whole family can buy more than two yuan worth of items in the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket, and can be collected at the Zhongxin grocery chain supermarket before the New Year, families can enjoy free family portrait activities.

Li Zhongxin had the point-and-shoot camera that Masako Mitsui gave them at home, and found someone with good photography skills to take free family photos of customers in front of the flagship store of the Zhongxin grocery chain.

This is the most loss-making activity launched by Li Zhongxin in the New Year's Day activities, but Li Zhongxin is very concerned about this matter, because Li Zhongxin knows in his confidence that in the early 80s, it was quite difficult for many families to take a family photo, and many elderly people did not remember until after they passed away, and they did not leave a photo of their family portrait for their descendants.

Li Zhongxin has this condition at this time, and he also wants some families in Jiangcheng to enjoy the treatment of family portraits, even if he loses part of the money for this activity, he also feels that his work is very valuable and meaningful.

When it comes to losing, it is nothing more than losing some money, but in other aspects, he has made a lot of money, whether it is these people who wash the photos back, they will put this kind of photos in a very obvious place in their homes, and they can see and think of the faithful grocery supermarket chain through the photos intentionally or unintentionally.

If relatives and friends see the photos at home, they will also know that there is such a conscientious supermarket in Jiangcheng.

Whether it is word-of-mouth or impression, in short, Li Zhongxin feels that it is a very satisfying thing to be happy to buy a big guy, so that those old people can take a family photo with their families in their lifetime.

The third option is a public lottery and a voucher for the Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain, worth 50 yuan. Any item can be purchased at any faithful grocery store.

Four second prizes, one voucher from Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain, worth 20 yuan.

Twenty third prizes, one voucher for Zhongxin grocery supermarket chain, worth 5 yuan.

The rest are commemorative prizes, each of which is worth a dime.

Plan 4, New Year's Day Dumpling Eating Activity, after the end of the lottery of Zhongxin Company, all the lottery ticket number is a whole hundred, the mantissa number is 88 auspicious numbers and the families of Zhongxin Company employees can participate in the New Year's Day Dumpling Eating Activity for free.

Zhongxin Company is responsible for purchasing the best meat filling, allowing the chef to make the stuffing, and take out enough fine noodles to make skins, and participate in making dumplings together.

Each participant will receive at least 20 dumplings per person, which can be eaten on the spot or taken home to eat with the family.

As soon as Li Zhongxin's four plans came out, Hong Bin was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. For the four plans proposed by Li Zhongxin, he was simply stunned, tired to death, and he couldn't think of such an awesome New Year's Day event.

However, Hong Bin's brows, which had come back to the aftertaste, gradually twisted into twists.
