The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Chapter 85 Business Expansion (Happy New Year's Day)
Early 80s.

With the reform and opening up, small shops previously operated by public-private partnerships can be contracted.Chen Xueru immediately contracted out the previous silk shop and concentrated on running it by herself.

Xu Huizhen was not to be outdone, and directly contracted the tavern, but most of the staff in the tavern found ways to transfer them away, and they were reluctant to give up their iron rice bowl.

The university that Hou Kui and Xu Jingli chose was of course not a coincidence, but Hou Kui chose for Xu Jingli.Both Zhao Suhu and Zhao Sutian were also admitted to university, but one majored in teacher training and the other chose a foreign language.

Of course, this was all Zhao Shucheng's suggestion to them, only the third major was chosen by himself.He thought the teacher was very interesting and relaxed.

With the help of the previous savings, Chen Xueru saw that the business in Sijiu City was going well, so she directly bought a big hotel.

Chen Xueru: "Husband, your skills will be useless if you don't use them, why don't you help me manage the restaurant?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Chen Xueru, knew what her little plan was, and said: "Okay, don't you just hope to use my skills to attract a wave of customers, but I have agreed that I will only go there at night, and only Do two tables, don’t do more.”

"No problem, you just don't have to cook a table. If you don't dare, you have to give me some advice on the chef, so that our restaurant's business can be improved to a higher level."

Only then did Zhao Shucheng agree, and on the day of the opening, he took the initiative to cook and cooked two tables of meals.

Other guests asked about the aroma, compared their own meals, and handed them over to the waiter, asking, "Why is their food so fragrant? Are you still discriminating?"

The waiter explained: "I'm sorry, it's like this. Our boss cooks up to two tables a day, and the other guests are under his guidance, and the chef cooks the meals."

"Then why don't you give it to me?"

"Guests, it's like this. Our boss's meals are clearly priced at [-] yuan per table, and rare ingredients are counted separately. This is the opening, and the boss is entertaining friends. After today, you can order meals."

As soon as the guests heard the price, they immediately died down. The 80 yuan was a lot of money in the [-]s. If they buy vegetables and cook by themselves, the family can eat for half a year.

Xu Huizhen also came to attend the opening ceremony. Originally, Chen Xueru didn't want to give her an invitation, but under Zhao Shucheng's persuasion, she still sent an invitation.

Chen Xueru was wearing a small pink suit, looked at Xu Huizhen who was wearing a windbreaker, and said, "Huizhen, you are here, how about this restaurant, I am upstairs and downstairs."

"It's not bad, but why do you want to open a restaurant? I thought you were going to set up a silk shop, a big shopping mall or something."

Chen Xueru proudly said: "It's not because of my guy, he can't just hang around all day, besides, his craftsmanship can't be wasted, right?"

Xu Huizhen looked at the flamboyant Chen Xueru, and said, "Really, why do I feel that your family is not willing to open a restaurant? After looking at it, many of the meals on the table are not made by him."

"It can't be helped. My family doesn't want to be too tired. Besides, he is the boss, so he can't do the work of the cook. He usually just needs to train the cook, and he doesn't have to do too much work."

"Come on, come with me to Master Niu's table. My guy made it himself. I guarantee you haven't tasted it."

Xu Huizhen said: "I'm not going, I'm not going, I have other things to look for you, it's not good for others to hear."

Chen Xueru asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Xu Huizhen pretended to know and asked, "Your eldest son Hou Kui and our eldest daughter Jingli are in the same university?"

"That's right, they are from the same university, but from different departments. They both passed the entrance examination in the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination. And our second child also passed the entrance examination in one year."

"It's reasonable for our family to talk about it. Your family will look for her as soon as possible."

There was a hint of displeasure in Xu Huizhen's words, and she didn't know if it was her meaning or Xu Jingli's meaning.

Chen Xueru understood that she was here to complain to herself, so she hurriedly said, "Hey, what's going on?"

"No matter what's going on, first, I don't object to my daughter falling in love, and second, I don't interfere with his choice. But my daughter said that she doesn't want to fall in love now, she just wants to study. I'm here to tell Say it, and talk to your son when you turn around."

Chen Xueru understood, and said: "Hey, they can't talk even if they want to talk. Think about it, if they talk about it, we two will be in-laws. Maybe the best in-laws. If it doesn't work out, how will we get along with each other in the future?" what."

Xu Huizhen said, "That's what I said."

Chen Xueru said: "But I have to tell our guy about this, Hou Kui doesn't listen to me now, he only listens to his father."

"Isn't Hou Kui's father in the United States?"

"No, Lao Zhao, Zhao Shucheng, Hou Kui just left his own father aside, and he treats Lao Zhao better than me now."

Xu Huizhen said, "Okay, then tell Old Zhao."

Chen Xueru seemed to have just remembered, and said: "Oh, no, Lao Zhao has always liked your girl very much, and said that if it is good to be his daughter-in-law, he probably would like the two of them not to be together."

Xu Huizhen said: "I'm not against it, but for now the emphasis is on studies, what about after they graduate?"

"Okay, don't worry about this matter, I'll tell Lao Zhao to talk about it after they graduate." Chen Xueru agreed.

"Okay, then I don't care. By the way, I'll go first."

"Don't, since you're here, let's go after eating."

"You have already done it. I can't stay before the reform and opening up. How can I catch up?"

"Okay, let's continue to compete."

Seeing that Xu Huizhen was gone, Chen Xueru went directly to the back kitchen to find Zhao Shucheng, and said, "Old Zhao, Xu Huizhen has just talked about the matter between Hou Kui and Xu Jingli. She disagrees with her meaning. Let me tell you, you can't get used to it." Waiting for Hou Kui, I'll call him and tell him to stay away from Xu Jingli, so don't meddle indiscriminately."

"Okay, you just tell him to go."

Chen Xueru looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, and didn't understand why Xu Huizhen's daughter, who was still together before, was so good, why he compromised so easily this time.

Hou Kui received his mother's order, but he didn't intend to give up, but he listened to Zhao Shucheng's words, and he didn't give up easily when he chose a target.

Besides, this Xu Jingli is the school belle, how can she be so cheap to other people.My own conditions are not bad, why can't I try harder.

The doorman heard Hou Kui's call and said to Hou Kui, "Your mother is really amazing."

"That's not true, that's the best in the world, just like your Uncle Ge's drinking capacity."

"Really. Which bottle of wine did you steal from your mother?"

Hou Kui retorted: "How can you say that the scholars' affairs are stolen, it should be said to be stolen. Besides, this is not stolen from my mother, but from my father."

"By the way, sir, where is Xu Jingli?"

"Go to the back to study."

"Alright, thank you sir, I'll bring you a bottle of good wine from my dad later."

Hou Kui followed Xu Jingli to the classroom, sat next to her and looked at her. The more she looked, the more beautiful she felt, and she couldn't get it out of her eyes.He wrapped an imported bread with a magazine and placed it directly on the desk next to Xu Jingli.

"Imported, very delicious."

Xu Jingli looked at Hou Kui curiously and asked, "Your mother didn't talk to you?"

"Try it!"

Xu Jingli felt a little helpless, and got up directly with the book, ready to go back to the dormitory to read.

Seeing this, Hou Kui had no choice but to pick it up and take a bite, saying, "It's really delicious."

……

During this period of time, Chen Xueru was also looking for new business channels besides being in the restaurant.

That day, Xu Huizhen walked in with two rustic-dressed girls while discussing purchases with others at the silk shop.

Chen Xueru asked curiously: "Did you find two part-time jobs from the countryside?"

"What are you talking about, these are my two nieces."

"It's suitable for my niece to work for me."

Xu Huizhen said: "Give me two beautiful girls and make some nice clothes."

Chen Xueru said: "No problem, leave it to Lao Rong. Lao Rong, take two girls to measure the size."

After they all left, I said to Xu Huizhen: "Yesterday, I told our family, and I also called Hou Kui long-distance, and he said that there was nothing wrong with it. He and Jingli are classmates and neighbors. See you soon Meet, say hello, take care of each other."

"It's better to be fine, otherwise we'd be much worried."

Xu Hui really didn't know that what she was worried about was right, and not only the eldest daughter, but even the second daughter was now being targeted.

Zhao Suhu observed the girls in the school during this time, and found that Xu Huizhen's second daughter was the most suitable for him, but he was not as impulsive as Hou Kui, he needed to choose the right time to make a move.

Chen Xueru didn't know that her second son was also eyeing Xu Huizhen's daughter, and she was still talking to Xu Huizhen about the benefits of her child.

"The children of mine are not simple people. Let's talk about Hou Kui. He is so smart. He can never forget reading books. He is good at playing, playing and singing. He also learned some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from his father. , that is Zhuangyuanlang. There are many girls in this school chasing her."

Xu Huizhen asked, "What about your other sons?"

"They are also all-round talents in both civil and military affairs. Apart from studying well, each of them is proficient in all the collections of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, classics and history. I don't know what kind of girl can be worthy of them. I am worried now."

Xu Huizhen said: "What do you think of my two nieces?"

"Forget it, I didn't say it, my son has very high vision, and he definitely doesn't like these two little girls. You, don't play with me in the future, do you still want to grow the family property in the future? "

"Think about it, I want to be a Huizhen restaurant."

"Just your place?"

"I want to be a hotel that combines food and accommodation."

Chen Xueru: "Better than me?"

"That must surpass you."

"Blow it, this front door is not for blowing, what about the money? Where does the money come from?"

"How about you lend me some?"

"I've just opened a big restaurant here, and I've spent all my money in it, so there's no money left."

Xu Hui really understood that it is really unrealistic now, and said: "Look, I'm just talking about scaring you."

Chen Xueru looked at Xu Huizhen who was going to see her niece, and thought of the funds needed to build the hotel, and said, "It's not too early, I don't know if I can do it in this life."
