Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 203
After Baifanyu left, Zhu Youzai took a few of his subordinates and brought a dozen gift boxes from the packer in the car.

After sending them to the dry goods store, the three younger brothers actually went to the trunk of the car again, and came out again carrying and holding seven or eight boxes and boxes.

Zhu Youzi smiled and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Master Chu, here are the tea leaves, bird's nest, ginseng, four boxes of cigars, two boxes of red wine, and two boxes of whiskey that Brother Luo and sister-in-law asked me to take.

Plus some isinglass, donkey-hide gelatin, four boxes of small cigars, and two boxes of Latour red wine that I asked to buy. "

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help clicking his tongue a little, secretly thinking that Lei Luo and Lard Boy were really willing to do so.

But after thinking about it, these things might have been given to them by someone else.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad. When someone gives you something, don't care how they got it, you have to remember the favor.

He thanked Lard Boy, "Brother Zi, wait for me to go down, I'll take some velvet antler, jujubes and chestnuts from the north, and Jingbai pears unique to the capital, and bring them to Brother Luo and sister-in-law.

By the way, you can go back and give your daughter-in-law and children a taste. "

Lard boy was overjoyed, he was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and he was not really interested in velvet antler.

But the Jingbai pear, which is unique to the capital, is not of general interest.

"Bring more, there are quite a few women over there, and a hundred catties of Jingbai pears are not too much."

"You think I'm a fruit stall." Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes, but in fact, there are more than 300 catties of Jingbai pears and jujubes in the warehouse, and more than 2500 catties of chestnuts.

But once something is too much, it is worthless.

Of course, the Jingbai pear itself is not worth much, but the things shipped from the capital are, for southerners, cherished fruits.

Not to mention that Jingbaili can have such a big name, it's not just blowing it out.

It was a tribute back then.

Looking at the lard boy, he said, "That stuff didn't mature until September, and it's not easy to keep it until now, let alone transport it from the north. My daughter-in-law specially airlifted it to Guangdong Province, and only got two boxes.

Give you a box, and you will share it with Luo Ge. If there is more, then you will have to wait. "

Lard boy now feels that it is a good thing.

It's just that this guy insists that there is nothing he can't buy with money, so he rolled his eyes and planned to try one first.

If it's really delicious, I don't believe you can't buy it for 500 yuan a box.

I just thought about it, if someone airlifts two boxes over, the air ticket price will be hundreds, or even thousands.

This is what people have a brand name for, and all food is shipped by air, and it seems that special codes should not cost air tickets.

Although the Jingbai pears from Xinshou Village are not abnormal in size, they are all round and plump, and they look appetizing.

When Chu Qianqian brought out a box of 10 catties, Lard Boy took a look, grabbed one and wiped it on his suit, and bit down, the sweet pear juice exploded in his mouth.

He gave Chu Xiangqian a thumbs up, distributed three to his subordinates, and finished one by himself.

Reaching out to wipe the suit, he asked hastily, "Master Chu, 1000 yuan per box, how about getting me a dozen or twenty boxes by air?"

Chu Xiangqian was naturally willing to sell it, but he tried to persuade him, "This stuff costs only a few cents a catty in September and October. Even during Chinese New Year, it only costs a few yuan per catty in the capital.

There is no need to spend dozens of times the price for the sake of tongue. "

Lard Boy shook his head indifferently, "Master Chu, the best bird's nest is only a few dozen yuan a catty in the Nanyang production area, but it costs a few hundred in Hong Kong Island.

You can't even buy blood swallows for hundreds of dollars.

There are also cigars. The most authentic ones in Cuba are only a few dollars a box locally, but in the United States, they cost dozens or hundreds.

The thing about eating and drinking here is that the less you can eat, the more expensive it is. How about getting me twenty boxes? "

Chu shrugged forward, he said so much just because he didn't want to make Zhu Youzai and Lei Luo feel that he was cheating them just because of this little Jingbai pear.

Now that the words have come to this point, Lard Boy not only wants it more and more, but also takes out a dozen banknotes from his pocket, counts out 2 and sends them to him.

Then I have no reason not to make money.

He took the money, "I'll send you 30 boxes, but don't say I got it. It's almost March now, and there is a shortage of Jingbai pears in the capital.

If someone asks me for it again, it’s okay if I can get it, but it’s a shame if I can’t. "

"Understood, I understand," Lard Boy quickly agreed, "I said I bought it from a sailor."

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that lard boy was smart, and said with a smile, "Then I will send a telegram tomorrow, and if it is fast, it will be shipped in three to five days. If I also get tiger meat, I will call you and you will send a car." The truck is coming."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to his Mercedes-Benz, "This car is good for everything, but the trunk can't hold much."

Lard boy looked over and nodded, then rolled his eyes, "That's easy, I'll ask someone to buy you an SUV, or a big-displacement pickup from the American guy."

When Chu Xiangqian arrived, his heart was moved. Usually, it is more comfortable to drive in a car, but in the future, it is not safe to use a car when it comes to transporting tigers or something.

After thinking about it, "Help me get a Ford F57 that went on the market in 100. By the way, tell the manufacturer to help me find someone to install a push-pull cover on the rear trunk.

In order not to transport tigers, sika deer, etc., to be seen by others. "

Lard Boy nodded hurriedly, and then asked again and again what the additional cover was like, and then he took someone with him, carrying a box of Jingbai pears, four fresh velvet antlers, 50 catties of jujubes, and 50 catties of chestnuts, Go directly to Lei Luo's house.

Lei Luo was naturally very happy with Chu Xiangqian's return.

Bai Yuechang was not interested in the blood-stained velvet antlers, but she liked the jujube and Jingbai pears very much.

After asking the servant to wash a few, and peeling one for Lei Luo, he also peeled a pear and tasted it, his eyes lit up.

"Ah Luo, this Jingbai pear is indeed a tribute to the royal family in the Ming Dynasty."

Lei Luo nodded while eating, "It is indeed much more delicious than other pears."

Then he smiled and said to Lard Boy, "You're really willing to do it, Ah Chu said, you can eat whatever you want in September and October, it's too wasteful for you to pay dozens of times the price."

Lard Boy doesn't know Lei Luo's thoughts, he himself is not really extravagant, but his wife likes it, no matter how expensive he is.

"It's not because I thought my sister-in-law didn't eat it, so I begged Master Chu to get some, and I can give it to relatives and friends to taste."

Lei Luo smiled and pointed at Lard Boy. Although he knew it was flattering, it made people feel comfortable.

Then he said, "In fact, there are many good things in the mainland. Not to mention other things, I have only heard of the 2 catty flat peaches in Taishan, hanging green lychees, Dongkui bayberry in Xianju, and Yangshan juicy peaches, but I have never eaten them. Pass."

"That's easy," Zhu Youzai said hastily, "Master Chu said, he has to go back to the mainland to discuss the sources of sika deer, tigers and other things.

Ask him for help, don't say too much, it should be no problem if you get ten or eight catties. "

Lei Luo shook his head, "It's only less than March now, so it's impossible to find it."

"That's not necessarily the case," Zhu Youzai said after thinking about it, "This Jingbai pear was launched in September and October, and it has been preserved so well until now, which shows that the mainland has long had mature preservation methods.

Besides, it doesn't cost anything just to try. "

Lei Luo glanced at Bai Yuechang, and saw that although there was no expression on her face, there was a little expectation in her eyes.

I couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay, when Ah Chu treats guests to a tiger feast, I will talk to him myself."

The next day, Chu Xiangqian accompanied his master, Gong Er, Yi Yitian and Lao Jiang early in the morning to apply for the documents for returning to the mainland.

After seeing that Gong Er was in a good mood and looking good, he took everyone to eat roast goose, bought a lot of gifts and food that was easy to store, and mailed them back to the capital together with most of the luggage, so that they would not have to carry a lot of luggage. play.

Then he called Qian Guotai to confirm the itinerary and the person to receive him. After a busy day, he finally settled these trivial matters.

The masters who watched felt a little distressed for him.

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly waved his hands. Since he asked someone to be his master, the master, wife and others really loved him, and he taught him skills without reservation.

Don't talk about this, it's okay to provide them with pensions.

In the evening, Gong Er and the others sat together and took out the land deed. Chu looked forward and waved his hand, "Master, you know that I am not short of money, house or property right now.

You always keep in mind that if you meet a younger generation you like, passing the house on to him is more practical than passing it on to me. "

Gong Er shook his head, "Even if there are nephews, expressions, relatives of the same clan, I will not pass them on."

Gong Changqing nodded, "My cousin was seriously ill back then, and these people ran faster than anyone else. As for the same family, either they don't need this house, or they took refuge in Ma San back then.

No one can pass it on to these people. "

When Gong Er heard this, his expression was a little sad, and Chu Xiangqian hurriedly answered, "Then let me hold the title deed first, and we'll talk about the transfer later."

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that Chu Xiangqian still didn't want the house. Gong Er hesitated for a while, opened his mouth several times and finally didn't speak.

Instead, he looked at Gong Changqing.

The old man Gong smiled awkwardly, and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Qianqian, your teacher has a niece who looks like a fairy. And the child was born here, and it was not until more than 50 years ago that he returned to the mainland with his parents. .

I have been raised by your teacher and my wife for a few more years. Although I have gone back to my hometown to study, I am already 15 years old.

And in the afternoon, we received a telegram from the family members of your teacher's wife's hometown saying that Hong Kong Sheng's father died of illness.

We plan to take her and her mother, who is your teacher's wife's sister, to the capital. After three years, I will let her come to Hong Kong Island to follow you. How about it? "

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly shook his head, before seeing the real person, he would not easily agree to this matter.

Besides, although I am a scumbag, I really like Xue Jinglan, it is impossible to abandon the girl I like just for the wish of my master and wife.

Seeing him shaking his head, the teacher hurriedly said, "We didn't plan to care who you marry, the Chinese here can marry several wives, and it's impossible for you to marry only one wife with your body.

At that time, our requirements are not too high. Among the children born to you and the Hong Kong student, you choose the third and fourth children and let him be named Chu Gong, or simply call him Chu Gong. "

Chu Xiangqian was taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself that it's no wonder Gong Er couldn't say that.

But if it is called Chu Gong, then there is no problem at all.

Wait, that girl's nickname is Hong Kong Sheng?
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think of Nie Xiaoqian, if he really looks like this, then there is no problem at all.

But he hesitated and said, "Since there are still a few years left, let's talk about it later."

Gong Changqing and Gong Er's eyes lit up when they saw that he did not refuse outright this time.

Gong Er also met that girl, she was the embryo of a beauty since she was a child.

Looking at Gong Changqing and Chen Shenglan, it seems that after returning to the mainland, they have to pick up the girl and her mother first, and after they go to the capital together, they stay for a year or so before letting their mother and daughter come to Hong Kong Island.

At that time, whether the two can make it or not depends on the fate of Hong Kong Sheng and Xiangqian.

In the evening, Chu Xiangqian thought about it, secretly thinking that there was really no need to rush this matter, maybe two or three years later, Xue Jinglan herself would be thinking of looking for help because she couldn't bear the torment.

Of course, it is definitely not possible in the Mainland, but it is no problem on Hong Kong Island.

The next day, Chu Xiangqian took Sanjiangshui and his boys to the factory at the fire station early in the morning.

The factory has already been emptied, which saves trouble.

After looking around, Chu Xiangqian took a drawing book and a pen, wrote and drew on it for a while, and easily designed the layout of the 30 by 20 factory building covering an area of ​​600 square meters on paper.

Originally, he planned to build a street-facing store by opening the wall facing the street, but after taking a closer look at the current situation of the factory building, Chu Xiangqian immediately gave up this idea.

The outer wall must not be moved, otherwise there is a risk of collapse.

In this case, we can only do stores and booths in the factory building.

20 stores and 30 booths are rented out by the current experts, with an average of 200 stores and 150 booths a month.

A total of 8500 a month's rent.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and immediately decided to halve the rent for the first six months.

Let’s talk about popularity first, and the purpose of building a market is not to make money by itself.Of course, it would be best if there was some money to be made.

San Jiangshui and his men heard from Chu Xiangqian that they would recruit 12 people to be responsible for security, cleaning and other trivial matters in the market.

Once hired, there will be 100 yuan a month, so I can't help but get a little excited.

Knowing how to mix in society, some people want to show off, and more people just want to make a living, or don't want to be bullied, so they join the gang.

Therefore, the bottom of the gang, which occupies most of the gang, is actually no different from ordinary people.

Whoever gives them jobs and wages is naturally their parents.

As the leader of Sanjiangshui, Chu Xiangqian gave him a monthly salary of 300, but if he couldn't do well, he would give up his position.

Therefore, Sanjiangshui still had a lot of pressure in his heart. If he lost face in front of Chu Xiangqian, it would be difficult for him to stand out in the future.

As for voting for someone else, San Jiangshui never thought about it.

"Boss, someone in our brother's family wants to rent a stall in the market to buy and sell vegetables, or set up a stall at night, is that okay?"

Chu Xiangqian shook his head without thinking, "We'll talk about it later when we open a second market."

Letting the family members of these people into the market and keeping these guys in custody will do bad things secretly.

If you just find trouble with other stall owners, their family's business will be much better. Once this is done, there is no way to stop this matter.

After finding the person who came to decorate, after seeing it on the spot and calculating the cost of materials and labor, Chu Xiangqian still gave Sanjiangshui 1 yuan to follow him throughout the process.

And from the day the work started, he and his subordinates were paid.

But only 7% is available.

This time, the enthusiasm of this group was immediately mobilized.

In the next few days, Chu Xiangqian basically ignored the affairs of the market, slaughtered 30 boxes of Jingbai pears and a whole tiger that lard boy wanted, and sent them all to lard boy.

The fat man smiled happily.

During this period, Chu Xiangqian found another freezer, rented a 40-square-meter freezer, and put 30 processed sika deer in it.

Ask Sanjiangshui to send a sika deer to a backbone restaurant every day from now on.

He planned to send the 4050 yuan he received every day to buy the sika deer, as well as the 50 yuan slaughter fee, to Lan Gang and lend him 20 yuan.

But Chu Xiangqian thought about it and changed his mind.

The last time he borrowed 20 from Blue Steel, 15 of which was given to the Duan family and his son to buy half of the shares in the Backbone Restaurant.

Since the Duan family is rich, I might as well let them buy 40 sika deer with a total price of 164000 yuan at one time.
