Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Chapter 406: Ten beauties, a sharpshooter and a chef, and the prosperity is gradually fading!

Time flies by like a white horse, and it is also like quicksand through your fingers.

Before we knew it, 1953 was over...

January 1, 1954, New Year's Day.

On this day, the Wu family was very lively, with people coming and going, and full of laughter.

Everyone got up early in the morning, dressed up, and started preparing lunch. Wu Youde said that today was the first day of the year and they should celebrate it properly.

In addition to the girls in the middle and back yards,

Wu Youde also personally invited Chen Xueru and Tian Zao to come. Chen Xueru was fine, as she had met Qin Huairu and Xue Chunmei before and they had even had dinner together.

Tian Zao is different. She has never seen anyone and doesn't know anyone.

But it doesn't matter. She is rough and carefree, and has been in the underworld since she was a child. This is nothing to her. Besides, she is following Boss Chen now.

You don’t need to worry about too many things, just follow Boss Chen’s pace.

After Wu Youde brought the two back, the atmosphere at home became a little subtle...

Qin Huairu, Xue Chunmei and the other girls stood aside, looking at Chen Xueru and Tian Zao in unison. Judging from the number of people, there was a huge gap between the two sides.

There were eight people on one side and only two on the other.

But in fact, Chen Xueru's side, which only had two people, was no less imposing than the opposite side. She acted calm and composed, with a smile on her face all the time.

"Yo~"

"It's only been a short time since I last came, and the house is almost full!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Sister Huairu, and Meimei, you two should just ignore him. When we eat later, don't let all the seats at the table be full and you have to eat separately..."

Sister Huairu?

Meimei???

The two names of Chen Xueru instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Teacher Bai, Lin Cuiqing, Mu Chunhua, Xu Huizhi, Qiao Yue, Deng'er, and even Tian Zao all felt a chill in their hearts and a little surprised.

What does this mean?
Isn’t this Chen Xueru a sister of the family, and isn’t she Wu Youde’s woman?
If not, why would Wu Youde bring her back today?
So, definitely!
But, if that was the case, why would she call Qin Huairu "sister"?
This is the eldest lady of the Wu family, okay? She has a certificate!

We all have to call Qin Huairu sister, why shouldn’t she? ? ?
Why!!!

For a moment, the girls had different thoughts and flickering eyes as they looked at Chen Xueru and Qin Huairu quietly.

Qin Huairu looked normal. After hearing what Chen Xueru said, she smiled but didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at Wu Youde...

"cough!"

Wu Youde thought that this silly girl had grown up. He coughed lightly, looked at Chen Xueru, and said with a smile: "Today is a good day, don't be angry with me."

Chen Xueru pursed her lips, blinked her peach blossom eyes, and then started laughing again.

"Haha~"

"Don't be offended, sisters. I like to make trouble and joke. Sister Huairu, you won't be angry with me, right?"

Qin Huairu smiled, walked over and held her hand, and said softly, "How could that be possible? Sister Xueru, I'm so happy that you can come!"

"Sister Xueru, what do you like to eat? I'll make it for you later!"

"But my cooking skills are average, so if it doesn't taste good, please don't be disgusted..."

Chen Xueru said with a smile: "Then I am in for a treat today. Thank you, Sister Huairu."

"We are family, why be polite? Come on, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk!" Qin Huairu said.

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the living room hand in hand.

A small storm disappeared in an instant.

However, the other girls had a deep impression of Chen Xueru. They knew that this girl was not simple and was not easy to get along with.

When they heard Mu Chunhua and Xu Huizhi say that Chen Xueru was the owner of a garment factory, Lin Cuiqing, Teacher Bai, Qiao Yue, and Deng'er were even more surprised.

They didn't expect,

Chen Xueru has such an identity. No wonder she looks noble and graceful. It turns out she is a wealthy woman!
Immediately, their admiration for their men deepened.

Such a gorgeous and beautiful wealthy woman has become my sister. My man is really amazing. It's amazing!

……

noon,

A funny scene appeared, and Chen Xueru's joke in the morning came true.

One table can't accommodate everyone.

Qin Huairu and the other girls plus Chen Xueru and Tian Zao make a total of ten people.

Including Wu Youde, that makes eleven people.

The others include Lin Cuizhi, Jinyu, Jinyao, Mu Xie, and He Yushui, which make another five people.

How can one table accommodate sixteen people?

Helpless, we had to sit at separate tables.

Lin Cuizhi brought her four children and set up a table directly in the kitchen, while Wu Youde and his wives were in the living room.

Looking at the big round table in front of me,

Wu Youde felt a little depressed. Damn, this is still a little too small!
These long legs haven’t come yet. If they come, she will be the only one sitting there!

It's okay for now, but it will definitely not be enough in the future. Sister Xiao'e is almost grown up, and there is also Qin Jingru and He Yushui...

And, other sisters who may, maybe, probably appear in the future...

'This table will have to be thrown away sooner or later!'

Wu Youde secretly complained in his heart, but when he looked up, he saw Chen Xueru looking at him with a playful expression, and he immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Ahem~"

Wu Youde cleared his throat and chuckled, "Aren't we all sitting down? Children don't count, right?

Is that the truth?!"

Chen Xueru pursed her lips and smiled, "Hehe~hehe~~"

Wu Youde looked at the others.

"Yeah."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"That's the truth!"

"..."

Wu Youde felt as if they were mocking him...

Since all the women at this table are my women, and I have played cards with them many times, using all kinds of cards, there is no sense of estrangement or unfamiliarity.

The lunch was a joyful and sweet one.

While eating, Wu Youde wanted to do something fancy to liven up the atmosphere...

He said, why don’t we play a drinking game, and whoever loses has to take off a piece of clothing, how about that?
The bustling living room suddenly fell silent.

The girls looked at each other, their pretty faces blushing.

It's not like they haven't played similar games before, but they were always played by one or two people in the bedroom. This kind of game was played in the living room in broad daylight with so many people...

They haven't played it before.

Chen Xueru narrowed her peach blossom eyes, glared at Wu Youde, and said with a smile: "You guys can have fun, I can't do it. Some important customers will come to the factory later, so I have to go to the factory."

Wu Youde raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy: "Who is it?"

"Boss Kang." Chen Xueru smiled even more gently, her voice delicate.

"……All right."

Wu Youde smacked his lips and said that he was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that Boss Kang was an important person. Since the other party was coming, Chen Xueru naturally had to meet him.

As everyone knows,
Everyone was moved when they saw this scene...

They know their men's personalities very well.

That is a playful and ridiculous personality!

As long as he is in the mood for sex, he wants to do it immediately, no matter when and where. It is impossible to go against his wishes!

Teacher Bai, Lin Cuiqing and others felt that, at least for themselves, it was impossible.

Among the people who might have violated the rules, they thought Qin Huairu was one, Xue Chunmei was half, but they didn't expect that Chen Xueru was also one!
Moreover, she dared to disobey Wu Youde in front of so many people...

I'm afraid Xue Chunmei wouldn't dare to do this.

Only Qin Huairu should dare to do that.

Then, this means that Chen Xueru's importance in Wu Youde's heart is comparable to that of Qin Huairu, the eldest wife!

Thinking of this,
The girls looked at Chen Xueru with a little more vigilance and awe. At the same time, Chen Xueru's weight in their hearts also became heavier.

……

On the afternoon of New Year's Day,

Wu Youde was lying on a brocade couch listening to music, Lin Cuiqing was playing the piano beside him, and Teacher Bai was massaging his legs, looking very happy.

Suddenly Shazhu came and started shouting loudly as he entered the yard.

"Angkor! Angkor!!"

"Angkor..."

Wu Youde put on his slippers and went out of the house, and found Shazhu's face was flushed and he was very happy, with his mouth grinning from ear to ear.

Wu Youde was very curious, "Zhu Zi, what good thing happened to you? You are so happy!"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Brother Wu, guess."

I guess you uncle!
Wu Youde cursed in his heart, but seeing Sha Zhu so happy, he thought for a moment and said, "You have a master?"

Since the day I took him to Li Yaochen,
From then on, Sha Zhu went there every day, leaving early and returning late, rain or shine, never missing a day. However, Li Yaochen did not accept him as an apprentice, nor did he find a master for him.

This is the news Wu Youde heard from Sha Zhu.

In this regard, Wu Youde chose to sit back and watch the situation develop.

But seeing Sha Zhu so happy today, this was the only possibility he could think of.

really,

Hearing Wu Youde's words, Sha Zhu nodded happily with a smug look on his face.

Eh?
Wu Youde was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You really have a master? Congratulations! Zhuzi, who is the master that Senior Li found for you?
You seem satisfied, huh?"

"Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey..."

Sha Zhu just laughed foolishly and said cheerfully, "Satisfied! Very satisfied! Extremely satisfied!!

Ha ha ha ha……"

"Wu Ang, guess who my master is?"

"Hahaha, Angkor, you will never guess who my master is!"

Wu Youde became more and more suspicious. Suddenly, his mind moved and a pair of long legs flashed through his mind...

isn't it?
How could it be her?
It shouldn't be possible!
Although her strength is not bad, but...

Wu Youde shook his head slightly, feeling that it was absolutely impossible. He said calmly, "If you keep keeping me in suspense, please get out of here."

"Hey, Angkor, don't worry."

Sha Zhu grinned and said, "Brother Wu, you will never guess who my master is!"

After a pause,
He raised his voice and said proudly: "My master is... Li Shuwen!"

Damn it? ? ?

The sharpshooter Li Shuwen???
This is bullshit!!!
Wu Youde's eyes widened and he frowned, "Really? Zhuzi, you are not trying to bluff me, are you?"

"Hey! Where can that be??!"

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Brother Wu, I can scare no one but you..."

Sha Zhu said seriously, "My master is really Li Shuwen..."

"No, no!"

Wu Youde shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Li Shuwen should have died a long time ago, how could he still be your master?"

"Hehe, Brother Wu, I didn't say that my master is Senior Li Shuwen. My master is Senior Li Shuwen's son, Li Etang." Sha Zhu said.

Damn it! !
Wu Youde was so angry that his nose almost smoked. This bastard definitely did it on purpose.

You deserve to be the hot sheep.

No, you are not even as good as Feiyangyang.

On this side, Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Brother Wu, my master is amazing. Even Senior Li Yaochen said that my master is very powerful. His pistol skills are superb. He is rare in the world and it is hard to find an opponent!"

"No."

Wu Youde was really curious and asked, "Is Li Etang the master that Senior Li Yaochen found for you? Why did he agree to it?"

"Angkor, what are you talking about?"

Sha Zhu was immediately unhappy, "Am I such a loser in your eyes that I am not even worthy of having a master?"

"Senior Li Yaochen said that although I am not young and my bones have already taken shape, my talent is not particularly bad. He also said that many people's talents are not as good as mine, far worse!"

"But Senior Li Yaochen said that he was old, and that my strengths were steady, firm, and powerful hands. It would be better to practice with a spear than with a sword. The spear is the king of all weapons, and the longer it is, the stronger it is. So he contacted my master..."

"........."

"..."

After Sha Zhu talked for a long time, Wu Youde finally understood what was going on.

Li Yaochen called Li E'tang, who was also in the capital, over. Li E'tang looked at Sha Zhu, tested him again, and then agreed to accept him as his disciple.

He is a real disciple, not a nominal disciple.

No wonder Sha Zhu is so proud and happy!
This is the inheritance of the master spearman Li Shuwen. It is a very proud thing for Li Shuwen to have his own son as his master.

……

After Shazhu left,

Wu Youde sat there alone and thought for a while. Another person's life was completely changed by him, beyond recognition.

Since then,

The world has lost a chef and gained a gunman.

He also didn't expect that the plain-looking and ordinary Sha Zhu actually had some talent?
If his talent was poor, Li Etang would not have accepted him as his disciple.

After thinking for a while,

Wu Youde laughed secretly. This Sha Zhu is indeed worthy of being the God of War in the Siheyuan Courtyard. He really has some of the genes of a God of War.

It depends on how well I can do it in the future...

……

Since New Year's Day,

Sha Zhu left the courtyard and said that he wanted to learn shooting from his master, following his master's instructions.

Wu Youde said that the house is still reserved for you, and you won’t be charged rent for the days you were away.

Sha Zhu was very grateful and thanked Angkor repeatedly, saying that Angkor was righteous and generous.

At the garment factory,
Since the beginning of the new year, the major competitors in the market have all made new moves, including promotions, price cuts, discounts, and buy-one-get-one-free offers.

There are endless promotional activities with new styles.

As the leading brand in the domestic underwear market, Guosetianxiang responded accordingly.

Buy one get two free!!!

When you buy a set of ultimate underwear for 99 yuan, you can choose any two sets of underwear for 49 yuan.

In other words, you can buy something worth one hundred and ninety-seven yuan by spending ninety-nine yuan.

This is equivalent to a 50% discount, which means the price is reduced by half.

The discount is so great that it deserves to be ranked first among all underwear brands!

at the same time,

Guose Tianxiang underwear bought the front page of local mainstream newspapers in major cities across the country and advertised its New Year's promotions, huge price cuts and buy one get two free.

In just three days,

The news of the big price cut of Guose Tianxiang underwear has spread to everyone. All women who still have a sense of beauty are talking about it, and they all think they will make a good deal if they buy it.

Buy for ninety-nine dollars and earn ninety-nine dollars!
You can also own three sets of beautiful, exquisite, and high-quality underwear from big brands. Where else can you find such a good thing? !
Then,
A group of women rushed to the local clothing stores and cloth shops, and as soon as they entered, they asked if there were any beautiful lingerie.
If not, they will turn around and leave without saying a word, and rush to the next place immediately.

With overwhelming advertising and sincere profit sharing, the marketing effect is quite good! !

The phone at the garment factory keeps ringing every day, day and night!
The calls came from all over the country, from dealers big and small.

There is only one content: Restock!

In order to cope with the huge sales volume, the garment factory once again implemented a two-shift work system. All workshops in the factory worked day and night to rush the production and prepare the goods.

This busy situation gradually subsided until the end of the month.

At the end of the month, the bill...

Good guy!
Sales hit a new high!
Sales hit a new high!!
Total sales of all types of underwear in a single month: 12.3 million sets.

Total sales of all types of underwear in a single month: 48.23 million.

Of course, the net profit is far less than that.

Advertising expenditures this month alone amount to five million yuan.

It’s indeed a lot, some even outrageous.

But this was because the garment factory was so brutal that it bought a page on the front page of almost every newspaper in the country.

All together, there are hundreds of these companies, big and small!

In addition, the pages you purchase are valid for one month!

Therefore, it is understandable that the advertising costs are so high.

In addition to advertising fees, there are also the costs of materials for producing underwear, labor expenses, water and electricity expenses, as well as profits given to dealers, etc.

It is worth mentioning that,
Although the price of Guose Tianxiang underwear has been reduced so drastically, the corresponding profits of dealers remain unchanged, and they are still the same as before.

In other words, the losses from price cuts are borne by the manufacturers.

Excluding this series of expenses, the net profit in January was still not low, exceeding 20 million and reaching 21.1 million!

Seeing this number,

Wu Youde was delighted at first and was very happy.

But then he sighed again...

He knew that such brilliant sales would never be seen again in the future. After such extensive publicity, the ownership of underwear among ordinary people had reached a considerable level.

After all, even if the price is reduced, a set of underwear still costs more than ten yuan.

A dozen dollars can do a lot of things these days. It can feed a family of three for a month, with meat and food.

No one buys underwear at every turn. A set of underwear can be worn for three to five years, or even longer.

After thinking for a while,

Wu Youde closed the account book, stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the snow-white factory area.
