Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 273. 272. Going to the Town

A month later, Han Che received a call from Xiang Jin.

"Xiang Jin, you are so talented that you actually opened all the stewed meat shops in the provincial capital, but to be honest, the taste of your stewed meat is really good, especially the stewed beef, as well as the stewed pork feet and stewed pig ears , I like it very much.”

"Thank you for the affirmation, thank you for the affirmation!" Xiang Jin smiled on the phone.

Then Han Che said, "To be honest, the business of your stewed meat shop is really good. There are long queues of people to buy it every day. I am envious."

Xiang Jin said, "There's nothing to envy. Isn't your Chinese restaurant doing very well?"

Han Che said, "That's good, but I'm still envious of your family. You don't even know that your stewed pork is now famous in our area. I guess almost every family buys it." eaten."

"is not it?"

"Really, I won't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yan Chen. You and Yan Chen jointly opened that store. He should know the business conditions in it best. But you are really not mean enough to open a store. You just opened the store so quietly without notifying me, otherwise I can follow you into a gang?"

Hearing his sour tone, Xiang Jin's eyes narrowed into a smile, "We are a small business, not a big cooperation project, how can I disturb you? Besides, don't you have a Chinese Is the restaurant in operation? You usually have to study and take care of the business of the store, how can you have the time and energy to take care of a stewed meat shop?"

Han Che said, "Excuses, they are all excuses. You just don't want to cooperate with me. Yan Chen usually has to learn. He also opened a restaurant, a hot pot restaurant, and bought a large field of greenhouses As for vegetables, he has more time and energy than mine, so why do you only ask him to cooperate instead of me?"

After hearing what he said, Yan Chen took the phone directly from Xiang Jin's hand, "I'm not in the provincial capital, and I don't personally participate in the operation and management. I just need to invest and know the operation status of the store at any time. Why don't you have enough time and energy?"

"You, why is it you?" Han Che suddenly changed the person answering the phone, and shouted in surprise on the other end, "Yan Chen, your uncle, where is Xiang Jin?"

"Why isn't it me? Han Che, you are really promising. If I didn't just hear it, I really don't know that you are so dissatisfied with me?"

Han Che said, "I'm not dissatisfied with you anymore, don't I envy you for starting so many businesses without making a sound?"

"How much business do you have? Isn't it just opening a hot pot restaurant and a stewed meat shop?"

Han Che said sourly, "And that greenhouse vegetable, good guy, your greenhouse vegetable is now very famous in the whole provincial capital, and many people go to your house to buy vegetables, let me tell you, As far as our school and people in the army go to your vegetable field to pull vegetables, am I envious?"

"There's nothing to be envious of. I have invested a lot in the greenhouse vegetable land, and I may not be able to recover the cost in a few years. But your Chinese restaurant is now ready to open a branch. Why don't you open two more branches."

The topic suddenly shifted to Han Che, and Han Che said dejectedly, "I also want to open a branch, and I have mentioned this to my second uncle more than once, but my second uncle is still hesitant. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it at that time, and the business of our family's current store will also collapse."

Yan Chen pointed at him and said, "Han Che, when it comes to business, you don't necessarily have to do everything by yourself. After all, our human energy and time are limited. Some things must be done by ourselves, and some things are important. No need, we just need to grasp the development direction of a situation as an operation manager and decision maker. As for the specific operation, we can implement it to the following people.

Your second uncle likes to do everything by himself, but I don’t think you should follow your second uncle’s style of doing things and thinking. Doing business is definitely risky, but there are rewards along with risks. When it's time to make a move, you have to make a move. When the opportunity comes, you have to seize and grasp it, otherwise you will regret it when the opportunity slips away.

Of course, these are just my personal suggestions. As for what to do, it depends on yourself. Xiang Jin wants to talk to you. "

"Han Che, in fact, the stewed pork in our family can be included in your recipe, of course, don't get me wrong, I won't tell you how to make the stewed pork, but, Can the two of us cooperate?

For example, if your family buys stewed meat from us and sells it in your store, Yan Chen and I can give you a discount, and you can earn the difference in the price. "

"Really?" Han Che immediately became interested on the other end of the phone.

Xiang Jin nodded at the end of the phone, "Naturally," then she looked at Yan Chen, who also nodded at her.

Then Han Che tapped the phone and asked, "Then how much discount will you give me?"

Xiang Jin covered the microphone and asked Yan Chen with his mouth. Yan Chen picked up a pen and wrote a number on a piece of paper, then said to Jin, "[-]% off."

"It's only [-]% off?" Han Che felt a little disappointed.

Yan Chen answered the phone again, "Don't be cheap and be nice, [-]% off is already the biggest discount for you, you don't do anything, just take that stewed meat back and put it there, there are customers Buy, you only need to cut it for others, and you can earn a [-]% discount. If you are not satisfied, we will cover everything, and the final result may not be able to earn a [-]% discount. profit."

"All right, all right, I'm not interested, but I have to talk to my second uncle later," Han Che said hastily.

Yan Chen said, "Okay, I'll say hello to my aunt later, if your second uncle has no objections, let him get the goods later and go directly to my aunt."

"it is good!"

Time flies, and one month has passed. At this time, it has entered the early summer. People have taken off their heavy winter clothes and put on light spring clothes or summer clothes. The weather is no longer heavy, gloomy, cold and humid. But the wind is light, the air is clear.

The flowers that Xiang Jin and his family had transplanted and picked up from Grandpa Zeng and his family before have survived in their yard and grown new branches and leaves. Those like roses have grown new buds, a cluster Clusters of clusters, waiting to bloom.

As soon as she stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Yan Chen saw that Xiang Jin was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, resting her chin in meditation. She was looking at a flower, but her eyes were empty.

"What are you thinking?" He walked over and sat down on the stone bench beside her.

Xiang Jin came back to his senses, "Hey, why are you here?" Suddenly seeing his backpack on the table again, he asked, "Are you going to school now?"

Yan Chen said, "Go to the town, I won't come back later, just go over there to the school, will you go?"

"Ah? Are you going to town now?" Xiang Jin looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun in the sky had already risen to a high level.

Yan Chen nodded, "Uncle Gang Tao called and said that last month's profit for the hot pot restaurant and greenhouse vegetables has come out, and he has already arranged for the two of us to spend time on it." Go check the account and give him a call back."

"Is that so?"

"Well, here are your two sums," Yan Chen said and handed her a note.

Xiang Jin reached out to take it, and then glanced at it, "It should be here, but you can also check it directly on the phone at home?"

Yan Chen said, "The main reason is that I want to go to the bookstore to buy two books."

"Oh!"

Yan Chen followed suit and said, "Let's go, anyway, you don't have anything to do at home, let's go early, then go over there and get to school early, and you can save a few hours to write your manuscript."

Xiang Jin felt a little moved, and looked down at her watch. It was only past ten o'clock, and it was indeed too early to cook lunch, but she really didn't want to move right now, didn't want to write, didn't want to think, I just want to think about the sun blowing the breeze to empty my mind.

It's okay to go to the town, and it happens that she can pay Yan Chen back a sum of money.

"Then wait for me for a while, I'll go clean up," said Xiang Jin and got up.

"it is good!"

Xiang Jin packed up the things as quickly as possible, and then shouted to the back of the house, "Grandpa, I went to town?!"

Her grandfather came out of the adjacent kitchen, "Going to town? Not at home for lunch?"

Xiang Jin saw that his hands were covered with the white firewood ashes, presumably her grandfather was cleaning the ashes in the stove again to scatter them in the vegetable field.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, we won't eat at home, we'll eat on the street later, you can cook for you and Xiang Lan at noon, we won't come back in the afternoon, and we will go directly from the town to school."

"Okay, okay!" Her grandfather nodded, and then asked again, "Do you want to bring some vegetables, and I will pick them for you?"

"No, no, I'll pick it myself, you are busy with your work," Xiang Jin waved his hand.

Her grandfather nodded, and Yan Chen asked, "Should we bring vegetables today?"

Xiang Jin said, "Let's bring some, and we won't bring it next time. After another two weeks, the seasonal vegetables will come out. Then we won't cook, and we'll just eat them in the cafeteria." Now the cafeteria is eating lotus white or that kind of dried vegetables every day."

"Then I'll pick it with you!"

"Sure," Xiang Jin said without objection.

The two carried their baskets into the vegetable field in the greenhouse, and hurried to pick the ones that could stand it. They first picked cucumbers and eggplants, then green beans and peppers, tomatoes, and two lettuces. , with two heads of lettuce.

Yan Chen was about to turn around and go out with the basket in hand, when he saw that Xiang Jin had picked up a few garlic sprouts and celery, so he asked, "What are you doing with those?" Didn't they just serve noodles?
Xiang Jin looked at him slyly and said, "Let me tell you, I brought sausages and bacon. When the time comes, let Yang Hui and Yang Zhao cook some rice for lunch. Let's make stir-fries at home?"

Yan Chen couldn't laugh or cry, "You don't think it's troublesome?!"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "No trouble, I've never felt any trouble paying homage to my stomach, anyway, it takes time to line up to eat in the school cafeteria.

At that time, we can come back from evening self-study and cook the sausage and bacon. When the last class of the next day is over, we can just go back and fry two dishes.

Let's buy two more pieces of dried tofu in the town later. Let me tell you that I haven't eaten dried tofu for a long time. Let's make a dish of dried tofu tomorrow. "

Yan Chen said, "Aren't you afraid of delaying your writing time?"

Xiang Jin said, "Don't be afraid, I fry the vegetables, and then I don't have to wash the dishes, which saves time. I can eat delicious meals without wasting time. I can kill two birds with one stone. How wonderful!"

Yan Chen said, "Then I'll help you when the time comes. You cook vegetables, and I wash them."

Xiang Jin said, "It is estimated that Yang Zhao will cry again by then."

Yan Chen's mouth curled up.

"Xiang Lan?!" The two went to town, and when they passed by Xiang Yao's house, Xiang Jin saw Xiang Lan and a few other people of the same age in Wantou playing hopscotch in Xiang Yao's courtyard, so He waved at her.

Xiang Lan trotted towards her, "Sister, are you going back to school?"

"Well, stop playing and go home. Grandpa is alone at home. He will go to the field later. You go back and cook lunch for him. I cut up the vegetables and meat in the morning. You can let Grandpa fire it later," Xiang Jin nodded slightly, and then explained to the girl.

"Oh!" The little girl obediently responded, and then she waved to Yao and the others, "Xiang Yao, I'm going back?!"

"You're going back, don't you want to play anymore?" Xiang Yao yelled at her.

Xiang Lan said, "Don't play anymore, you guys can play!"

Xiang Jin saw that she was well-behaved and sensible once in a while, so he whispered to her, "When I left, I put two dollars in that Xinhua dictionary on your desk."

"Really?" The little girl's eyes brightened immediately.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, if you don't believe me, you can go back and read it, but you have to be obedient at home, and you can't always be playful. In the afternoon, you should read a book and do your homework at home."

"Yeah, I know, I know, thank you, sister!" Xiang Lan nodded like a pest, and then waved at them, "Goodbye, sister, goodbye, brother Yan Chen!" After finishing speaking, he happily ran towards home .

After arriving in the town, the two went straight to the bank. It was almost noon at this time, and there were only a few happy people in the bank doing business.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen each went to check the status of their bank cards.

After a while, Yan Chen asked, "How is it? Did you get the money?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, here we are, can you wait for me for a while?" After speaking, she walked towards the counter.

About ten minutes later, Xiang Jin handed him a transfer receipt.

Yan Chen looked at her in surprise, and said, "You actually got such a high salary for the last two weeks?"

The two sums arranged by Uncle Mingtao today are only a little over 5 in total, plus the 1 yuan in income from stewed meat and vegetables arranged by her aunt a few days ago, the total is only a little over 3. When she came back, she repaid her own account of 10,000 yuan, which proved that there was not much money in her card after that repayment, but today she repaid her [-]+ all at once, which proves that she repaid her [-] yuan today. More than half of the money was the royalties received in the last two weeks.

Xiang Jin said, "It's a pity that it's still more than 1 yuan to pay off all the money owed to you. It seems that it will only be next time!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to pay off? I told you it's not in a hurry!"

Xiang Jin said, "I'd better put one thing aside, otherwise I'll always have one thing in my heart, no good, I don't like that feeling!"

Yan Chen knew that she didn't like to owe money, so she nodded, "Let's go!"

Xiang Jin said, "Let's go to the store to put down the things first, and then go to the bookstore to buy books. It's so inconvenient to carry a vegetable basket all the time!"

"Ok!"

Today, there were a lot of people eating in the shop, and the two put their things in the compartment inside. Xiang Jin told Yang Xu and Yang Xin to take care of them and went straight to the bookstore.

After buying the books Yan Chen wanted there, Xiang Jin dragged Yan Chen to the back street.

"What are we doing here?"

Xiang Jin said to him, "Let's go, I invite you to eat pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles!"

Yan Chen looked at her suspiciously, and Xiang Jin gave him a tug, "Let's go, you'll know when we arrive!"

After a while, she found the "Chen Ji Restaurant".

Aunt Xiaoping's family opened Chen Ji Restaurant, because Aunt Xiaoping's husband's family name is Chen, so she chose such a simple and straightforward name.

In fact, Xiang Jin and his family have mixed surnames. In addition to the two surnames of their family and Grandpa Zeng's family, there are also people surnamed Song, people surnamed Yang, people surnamed Ai, and people surnamed Chen, but the one with the most surnames The surname Xiang and the surname Zeng are still there. These two surnames have seven or eight families respectively, but the blood relationship and kinship relationship are very far away, and they are not much different from people with other surnames!
Now look outside, and after walking in, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen first found an empty table under the table, and then shouted inside, "Boss, bring us some sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles!"

"Oh, okay," Aunt Xiaoping came out quickly with a pen and a small notebook, and said with surprise on her face when she saw them, "Oh, girl Jin, boy Yan, why are you two? ?”

Yan Chen was surprised for a while, and Xiang Jin looked at her with a smile on his face, "Aunt Xiaoping, how is the business?"

Aunt Xiaoping said with a big smile on her face, "Okay, it's all thanks to you, you also want to eat pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles?"

"Hmm! Try it!"

Xiang Jin and the others nodded.

Aunt Xiaoping said, "Okay, try it! Then you two should wait for a while? I'll go to the kitchen and ask Uncle Chen to make it for you!"

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen nodded.

After Aunt Xiaoping left, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen began to look at the situation in the store.

Well, it's full of guests, no empty seats, and it looks like business is going well.

Although the interior decoration is simple and quiet, it is still clean!

Soon, Aunt Xiaoping came out with a tray, on which were two sets of bowls and chopsticks and two glasses of water.

"I scalded the bowls, chopsticks and cups for you with boiling water, so don't worry about using them."

"Thank you, auntie!" Xiang Jin picked up the water glass and took a sip!
"Thank you, thank you, you are not an outsider!" Aunt Xiaoping looked at her reproachfully and said.

"Boss, collect the money!" At this moment, someone shouted at Aunt Xiaoping.

"Hey, here we come! Just wait a little longer, your Uncle Chen will bring out the rice noodles for you soon," Aunt Xiaoping greeted the customers while responding to them.

"It's okay, Aunt Xiaoping, go get busy!"

When Aunt Xiaoping came back after collecting the money, she talked to them again, "Why did you two come to the street today?"

Xiang Jin said, "Let's buy a few books. Last time I heard that you opened a shop in the back street. The bookstore is not far from your place, so let's see how your business is going."

"Oh, you've got your heart, you've got your heart!" Aunt Xiaoping laughed again.

Not long after, Uncle Chen Yong came to them with a large bowl of pickled cabbage, tofu and fish noodles, and then warmly entertained them and said, "Try it, try it, and see how our pickled cabbage, tofu and fish noodles taste. No girl Jin, your cooking is delicious?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's delicious, it smells delicious!"

Both of them laughed.

Yan Chen first filled a bowl for Xiang Jin, then filled another bowl for himself, followed by the two of them and started eating, and then Xiang Jin gave the couple a thumbs up, "Well, it's delicious, spicy Refreshing, sour and appetizing, the meat is delicate and tender, without any fishy smell, and the tofu flavor is also very strong!"

After receiving Xiang Jin's pertinent evaluation, the couple laughed heartily.

"But Uncle and Auntie, you have given us too much food. I don't know if we can finish it later."

Not only did they put a lot of rice noodles, but they also put a lot of fish slices and tofu. Xiang Jin felt that they put at least two catties of fish and more than one catty of tofu. Not too much.

Aunt Xiaoping said, "It's okay, eat slowly! It's still early anyway!"

"Boss, I'm adding a small portion of fish and rice noodles!"

"Oh, good," responded Uncle Chen Yong and turned back to the kitchen.

"Boss, give me two taels of oily noodles!"

"it is good!"

"Auntie, go get busy and leave us alone!"

"Oh, okay, then you can eat slowly?!"

After Aunt Xiaoping left, Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "How is it? How does it taste?"

Yan Chen nodded, "Well, it's okay!"

Just when Xiang Jin and the others were halfway through eating, a customer pointed in the direction of Xiang Jin and shouted, "Oh, boss, how do you do business? Why are there so many fish slices and tofu cubes in their bowls? And there are only a few dollars in our basin? Yeah, boss, is your business unfair?"

"Huh?" Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were stunned!

Aunt Xiaoping hurried over and explained, "Young man, you misunderstood, they are not our guests, they are relatives of our family, and we don't charge for their meal. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people around you Well, we have always sold according to this amount, and besides, our food is not very expensive. If everyone comes to entertain our relatives, then we are afraid that we will all lose money, don’t you think? "

A few regular customers around said, "Yes, we eat here every day, and it's all based on this amount. You misunderstood, young man."

The young man looked away resentfully, and then buried himself in his meal.

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen glanced at each other, and then saw a helpless smile in each other's eyes.
