Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 87 Chili
Lu Changhua took his father to have a meal in the private room of Hongbin Building.

Old Lu felt that he had found an opponent.

"Son, this restaurant is okay and the chef is good."

"Dad, how do you compare with him?"

"When it comes to cooking, there is still a gap between him and me. After all, he is a regular chef, and I am just a member of the Caotai team. How can we compare? But..."

Lao Lu smiled mysteriously.

"If he specializes in fish, he may not be able to compare with me."

Lao Lu smiled confidently.

"Dad, it's good to have confidence. Our Lu Family Yu Mansion must make a name for itself and become a hit."

"Okay, okay, let's not brag. If the pepper is not solved, there is really no way to cook this fish."

Lao Lu started to worry.

"Dad, if that doesn't work, go to Harbin City and have a look. There should be one in the provincial capital, right?!"

"Who knows? It seems like we can only go over and have a look."

After leaving Hongbin Building, Lao Lu still couldn't bear to spend [-] cents to buy three donkeys, so the two of them could only walk back and take a look at the street scene.

After walking and shopping, it took more than 40 minutes to return to the Red Flag Hotel.

At the reception of the hotel, Lu Changhua caught sight of the honest-looking Xing Wenbin.

"Boss Lu, are you back?"

"Ah? Is it Captain Xing?!"

Lao Lu also recognized him.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I just arrived too."

Lu Changhua followed behind his father, and the three entered 106 together.

"Sit down, have you been working hard these two days?"

Lao Lu had a smile on his face.

Seeing his father greeting Xing Wenbin, Lu Changhua found the tea can in the hotel, brewed two cups, and sent them to his father and Captain Xing.

"Boss Lu, this is the picture we made. Please check if there are any omissions."

Lao Lu took it over, looked at it, asked a few questions, and handed it to Lu Changhua.

Lu Changhua understood it clearly, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

After confirming the drawings, Lao Lu felt a lot more at ease.

He asked, "What's the budget?"

Xing Wenbin took out another budget table.

Both the Lu family and the father couldn't understand this thing, how did they know how much steel, how many bricks, how much cement was used.

However, the total price can be seen clearly.

5628 yuan.

I go!

"So expensive?"

Old Lu's eyes almost popped out.

You know, nowadays, for private housing transactions, a thousand yuan is considered high.

Especially in a small county like Beining.

For a house of 600 to 200 square meters, [-] to [-] yuan is considered a high price. Some houses can be purchased for [-] yuan.

Money is very valuable these days.

Or would Lao Lu feel distressed for the one-time payment of 1 yuan?
That was half a stab in his heart!
What, you, Xing Wenbin, also stole my heart? !

"Boss Lu, the main reason is that the price of building materials has increased this year. We use unplanned materials, so the prices are very expensive."

"How much more expensive?"

Lu Changhua knew that Xing Wenbin was right.

There is a huge difference between planned and unplanned.

At this time, a dual-track price system is being implemented, which is how many scammers occur.

"It's much more expensive, almost double."

Xing Wenbin also had no idea.

He actually asked Lu Changhua if he could ask the department store to come forward to modify it, so that they could apply for part of the planned supplies, and the cost would be much lower.

But Lu Changhua thought about it for a while, but still refused.

Even now, he has taken advantage of it.

Secretary Wang also supported himself.

If such a request is made again, I am afraid that the opposition inside the department store will catch Secretary Wang's pigtails.Besides, you can't always cause trouble for others just to save some money.

"Can you reduce the cost further?"

"This... If it is not covered in the future, the strength of the bottom layer can be reduced, and it can be reduced by [-]."

When Lu Changhua heard it, it was to reduce the amount of reinforced concrete.

He also knows why the cost is high.

This is still his request.

Although it was just a private room and kitchen behind the front hall, for future development, Lu Changhua asked him to strengthen the strength of the bottom floor according to the three-story layout, so that the amount of steel and cement would be increased.

Of course, if they are all built with bricks, the earthquake resistance will basically be lost, and it will be a dangerous building if it is shaken slightly.

"Dad, I asked him to increase the strength of the building. When we build the second floor in the future, it will save trouble and don't need to rebuild."

Lu Changhua explained.

Only then did Lao Lu understand.

"Then let's sign a contract?"

"Okay, I also brought the contract."

"Hey, are you so well prepared?!"

"Hey, it should be."

Xing Wenbin took out the contract, and both parties agreed on the terms and signed the contract.

“You can’t enter the venue until the end of the month, so prepare the materials first.”

Lao Lu said.

"Okay. However, you have to pay some advance payment. The price of materials has fluctuated a lot now. I'm afraid that at the end of the month, the price will rise again. By then, this material..."

"I'll give you two thousand first to prepare materials, but don't take the money and run away."

Lu Changhua made it clear half-jokingly and half-seriously that he was also afraid that Xing Wenbin would run away with the money.There are really people who do this these days.

Think about it, people who usually earn thirty or fifty a month suddenly have a huge sum of two thousand in their hands. Some people really can't resist the temptation.

"Don't worry, I will work hard and won't run away. Hehe."

He typed the receipt and handed it to Lao Lu.

Lao Lu was never worried about the chili peppers, and he wanted to go to Harbin to see it.

Lu Changhua wanted to accompany him, but he didn't trust his father alone.

In the early days of reform and opening up, society was full of scum, bad guys came out to hunt for food, there were a lot of petty thefts, and there were a lot of fights.

The two of them were packing up and getting ready to check out and go to the train station when Director Huang from the 1st place came over.

"Hey, Director Huang, why are you here?"

"Haha, you two are free, why are you going out?"

"Hey, we want to go to Harbin Market and look for seasonings."

"Haha, Xiao Lu, I'm afraid you can't go."

"Oh? Why?"

Lu Changhua was taken aback by Director Huang's words.

"It's like this. Regarding your business license, you have two options now. Let's see what you think."

Director Huang said enthusiastically.

"Two options?"

Lao Lu could only listen, he didn't understand this.

"Yes, Comrade Lao Lu. One is that you apply for a self-employed license, but supplies such as grain and oil can only be purchased in the market, and there is no plan to supply them."

hiss~~
Lao Lu and Lu Changhua both took a deep breath.

How to open a restaurant without supplies?

"The second way is to apply for a business license in the name of the department store's subordinate unit. This way, there will be a planned supply of grain and oil, and there will be a supply book. This will be much more convenient for you."

Just as Lao Lu was about to speak, Lu Changhua pulled off his clothes.

Could he not know the consequences? !

If he chooses a unit affiliated with a department store, it may seem convenient now, but it may have too many sequelae.

By then, it will be impossible to tell who owns this hotel, and we will have to file a lawsuit if it doesn't happen.This kind of thing happened too many times in his previous life, and he didn't want it to happen to him.

"Director Huang, we'd better not bother with the store and just set up an individual business."

"Then what about your grain and oil?"

Director Huang really thinks about Lu Changhua.

"Let's figure this out."

In fact, Lu Changhua had something in mind.

As a farmer, can I still be short of food and oil?

Besides, if it really doesn’t work, it’s not a matter of looking for my eldest brother’s father-in-law!
"Okay, you go back and get the documents, and I will accompany you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a license."

"Okay, thank you, director, for taking care of me."

"Xiao Lu, that's too polite of you to say that. We are a family and we don't talk about two families!"

Once this happened, Lu Changhua could no longer accompany his father. He had to return to the farm to get a letter of introduction and relevant certificates.

"Dad, let me take you to the car first."

When Lao Lu saw this, he knew there was nothing he could do. Applying for a license was a big deal.

Director Huang left a piece of paper with the relevant documents that need to be processed.

Lu Changhua put the list in his arms, sent Director Huang away, and took Lao Lu to the train station.

Currently, the only trains to Harbin are those starting from Longzhen and a few trains from Qishi that stop in Beining.

In order to rush for time, it was too late to book the departure train.

If you have a car, get on it.

Fortunately, Dad still had a letter of introduction with him. Lu Changhua bought him a ticket, bought a platform ticket himself, and sent Dad to the station.

woo~~~~~~
The green train, which was emitting bursts of white smoke, slowly stopped at Beining Railway Station.

The radio broadcasts the information of the train entering the station.

Old Lu only carried a schoolbag and nothing else.

"Dad, be careful when you get in and out of the car. There are many thieves. Carry your schoolbag on your chest, not on your back."

"Some people are squeezing at the door when getting on or off the bus just to steal things. You have to be careful."

"Don't put money in one bag, keep it separate."

"Oh, son, I know all this. Don't worry, take care of the license first. I'll take care of it."

Lao Lu felt that his son was more verbose than himself.

"Haha, okay, it's good that you know, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

"rest assured."

The train was emitting white steam, and the platform was filled with smoke.

The strong and pungent smell of soot was suffocating.

Lao Lu took the hard truck ticket and walked to the car, and Lu Changhua followed.

Help Dad find a hard seat.

He explained a few more words.

"Xu Xu~ Xu Xu~"

The conductor stood at the door of the train, looked left and right, and blew his whistle.

The electric bell on the platform rang.

"Come on down, it's time to drive."

"Well, I'm leaving, Dad."

Lu Changhua looked back at his father and squeezed towards the car door.

As soon as he jumped off the train, the conductor closed the door.

The train started moving slowly, and Lu Changhua waved to his father in the window.

Old Lu also waved his hand and moved his lips, as if he was saying something, but he couldn't hear it at all.

Just keep waving.

The train was getting faster and faster, and Lu Changhua's figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the distance.
