Chapter 381 Good Days
The changes that have taken place in the Sun and Yuan families over the years can be described as earth-shaking.
Let’s talk about Sun Mian first. He inherited the mantle of traditional Chinese medicine master Luo. At a young age, he has already shown a strong medical talent and has always been among the best in academic subjects.
When he was a teenager, while other children were still studying intensively, Sun Mian used his weekends to see patients in Luo Changgeng's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
At first, the patients thought that Luo Changgeng was destroying his reputation by letting a child come out to treat him. But before long, everyone's doubts about Sun Mian disappeared completely.
He can not only treat common diseases, but also several difficult and complicated diseases. In addition, he can also give personalized diet therapy plans according to the patient's condition. Instead of destroying the reputation of the Chinese medicine clinic, he has become a living signboard of the Chinese medicine clinic.
After everyone knew that Sun Mian was the last disciple of Dr. Luo, they believed in his medical skills. Dr. Luo was well-known in the local area and his requirements for accepting disciples were very strict. To become his disciple was something that many people would beg for.
Sun Mian skipped a grade in elementary school, took the college entrance examination at the age of 17, and successfully entered the most famous Chinese medicine university in the country. For him, this was not going to school, but further study. He used three years to complete five years of credits, and with the recommendation of his teacher, he was successfully admitted to graduate school and studied for a master's and doctoral degree.
At the age of 23, he had become the youngest doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the school, working in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of a large hospital in Beijing as an expert.
The young, handsome and easy-going Chinese medicine expert suddenly became an idol sought after by the girls in the hospital.
In addition to seeing patients in the hospital, he is also committed to the research of Chinese patent medicine. In his spare time, he compiled a Chinese medicine recipe based on his many years of medical study and professional experience, aiming to promote Chinese medicine diet therapy and benefit more people. This book is currently in the final stage and will be published soon.
Sun Aimin's business has been booming in recent years. After the two families celebrated the New Year together, he came back and started working.
He wanted to open a larger restaurant and planned to do it all in one go, buying a shop and opening the restaurant to avoid the trouble later.
However, they did not have enough funds at the time, so the couple mortgaged their home and borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan from the bank. They bought a 500-square-meter street-facing shop, renovated the shop, and opened a restaurant called "La Shi Shang", which mainly served different types of spicy dishes.
But not all dishes are heavy in flavor. There are also some delicious appetizers, spicy and greasy special drinks and desserts.
All the dishes in the restaurant are carefully researched by Sun Aimin according to the theme of the restaurant. The chefs in charge of cooking are hired by Sun Aimin and have many years of experience in the industry. According to the dishes they are responsible for, they are trained for a period of time in advance to ensure that the chefs can make dishes that meet Sun Aimin's requirements.
As soon as this restaurant opened, it attracted many local diners from Mafang City. There were also people from other places who came to Mafang City and came to dine there after being introduced by local people. Almost every diner praised the taste of the dishes.
After more than a decade of development, Sun Aimin has opened more than 100 "Lashishang" chain stores across the country. The local store in Mafang City was still a bit small, so he later opened a branch with an area of more than 1,000 square meters in the city center.
Materials for all stores are distributed uniformly, and employees are trained using uniform standards to ensure that the product quality and service quality of each store are on the same level as the head office.
As for the training school, it was originally a rented office space and was quite small in the initial stage. As it gradually gained popularity and the school's profits increased, and the restaurant brought Sun Aimin a lot of profit, he discussed with his family and decided to buy land and build a house to run a more formal technical school.
The initial investment is large, so he still adopts the fund-raising model, mainly raising funds from relatives and friends, which are counted as shares. The funding gap after the fund-raising is still made up by bank loans.
They bought a piece of land on the outskirts of Mafang and built a school covering an area of 500 acres. In addition to specializing in food-related majors, they also added other technical training classes, such as computers, beauty and hairdressing, auto repair, etc. The teachers are all professional talents with professional education background and rich practical experience recruited from the corresponding industries.
Students who have studied in this technical school have entered various industries and contributed to the development of society. Especially after the adoption of the policy of diversion of high school entrance examinations, many children who failed to get into high school were sent to this school by their parents to learn a craft.
The school has standardized management, strong teaching staff, and a good reputation among students and parents. Most importantly, the local government also attaches great importance to this school and has classified it as a technical private school with the qualification to issue academic certificates.
In addition to teaching buildings, the school also built student dormitories and faculty dormitories, the conditions of which are much better than the previous temporary office space.
Now, Sun Aiguo has become the main administrator of the school. He has made his way in life and is no longer as anxious and unconfident as when he first came to the city. He has a strong leadership style and is able to manage school affairs with ease.
Sun Aijun returned to his hometown. The main reason was that his parents were getting old, and he and his wife couldn't live apart for a long time, so he decided to return to his hometown to develop.
Sun Aimin had always wanted to set up a factory specializing in the production of condiments. After discussing it with the others, we decided that this was a feasible idea.
It just so happened that the pepper variety that Grandpa Sun had been researching had yielded results. They went to the township head and proposed a plan to promote large-scale planting in the township, and promised that they would purchase all the peppers that met the quality standards after harvest, which could be regarded as providing a channel for the villagers to generate income.
As for other spices needed, Sun Aimin also found trustworthy suppliers.
When the villagers heard that the Sun family was going to build a factory, which would provide many jobs for the locals and they also knew about the financial strength of the Sun family, they were naturally very happy. After all, this was a big thing related to political achievements.
The village chief quickly reported the matter to the county, helped the Sun family complete the necessary procedures for building a factory, and also approved a place for the factory.
After the factory building is built, the latest equipment purchased will be put in place.
The factory recruited more than a hundred people from the local area, all of whom were young people with junior high school education or above. They received rigorous pre-job training, and only those who passed the assessment could stay and become formal employees.
There are several production lines in the factory, which mainly produce several kinds of seasoning powders suitable for different dishes, as well as chili oil, chili meat sauce, mushroom sauce, etc.
Although the average order value of these products is very low, they are consumables and can be used by every household. After several years of development, they have gradually opened up the national market and the profits are also considerable.
