With the shopping system in hand, I became the richest man in the 1980s

Chapter 9: Lao Chu takes him flying!

Song Wanrou nodded vigorously. "Yes, Dad, Mom, Qingjiang just called me. He said that he is going to open a store in Beijing, specializing in imported goods such as watches and electrical appliances. The store will open the day after tomorrow. He also said that after these few days, about half a month, he will come back to pick me up and bring me to Beijing."

"Really? Oh, that's great!"

When Mr. and Mrs. Song heard the good news, they both laughed happily.

Brother Song and Sister-in-law Song also laughed.

It is indeed a good thing that my sister can live in Beijing with her husband.

Not only did the two of them not break up, they will be able to live a better life in the future. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, they can rest assured and no longer have to worry about what to do if their younger sister does not live well in the future.

After Song Wanrou told them the good news, she smiled and said to them, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to go back and cook. I'll make two more dishes so that we can celebrate together."

Song Laifu smiled naively and said, "Okay, go back now and don't get tanned."

Song Wanrou returned home briskly, found the jar meat that had been prepared two months ago, and then skillfully killed a small rooster weighing two or three pounds.

Jar meat, as the name suggests, is meat packed in a jar. It is also called stewed canned meat in some places.

Jar meat is made by frying the pork belly that has been cut into finger-width pieces until it releases oil and becomes golden and crispy. It is then stewed with cooking wine, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, soy sauce, ginger, green onions and other ingredients. The meat, oil and ingredients are then put into a jar and stewed for two or three months before being taken out and eaten.

Song Wanrou is usually responsible for cooking at home. She does have some talent in cooking and she likes to study it. Her current cooking skills are good enough for her to open a restaurant.

She learned how to make this jar meat from a master chef who was said to be the heir of the imperial chef.

The jar meat she made was always so delicious that the whole family applauded.

The dishes Song Wanrou cooked today were fried jar meat with garlic sprouts and fried jar meat with potatoes. They were fat but not greasy, and very salty and fragrant. Even Song Wanrou herself was drooling over the deliciousness of these two dishes.

She stewed the two or three pound rooster with wild pine mushrooms. The result was chicken stewed with pine mushrooms, and it was also very delicious.

After preparing the meat dish, Song Wanrou also fried a set of three fresh vegetables and a spicy and sour cabbage.

For the dish of three fresh vegetables, Song Wanrou stir-fried eggplant, beans and green peppers together. It is also a very appetizing dish.

The food was ready. Song Wanrou had just put it on the table when she heard the chattering of her nephews and nieces outside.

The eldest nephews Song Youxin and Song Youyi held the hands of their three-year-old sister Song Xiaoai. As soon as they walked into their yard, the delicious aroma of meat and vegetables wafted into their nostrils.

Song Youxin and his two siblings immediately knew that their aunt must have prepared delicious food at home again.

Before they even saw Song Wanrou, they were already shouting happily in the yard, "Aunt, aunt, what delicious food have you made today? It smells so good, so good..."

As they talked, the three little guys quickly rushed to Song Wanrou.

Song Youxin and Song Youyi are twins, six years old and currently attending preschool.

Song Xiaoai is three years old. She likes going to school very much and often asks her two brothers to take her to school to play.

Song Wanrou smiled at her lively and lovely nephews and nieces, and said gently, "Auntie made a lot of delicious food today. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat. I'll go see if your grandparents and your parents are back."

"Okay, aunt, let's go wash our hands now."

With delicious food hanging in front of them, the three little guys were very well behaved and immediately went to wash their hands.

Song Wanrou also likes and loves her well-behaved nephews and nieces from the bottom of her heart.

She also has a second sister named Song Wanhua. Song Wanhua married and moved to the town, and the couple opened a stationery store in their own store.

Next to their stationery store is the town’s central primary school. Business is very good and they have made a lot of money in the past two years.

Since the policy of reform and opening up, Song Wanrou's parents and elder brother have been very hardworking. At the end of every year, they receive a sum of money when the six pigs they raise are sold.

They usually raise seventy or eighty chickens, ducks and geese. With some income from the fields and mountains, their family lives a good life.

Song Lai Fu, Luo Meihua and their family of four also returned soon.

When they saw Song Wanrou had cooked so many delicious dishes, they were happy thinking that they could have a good meal and replenish their nutrition.

Song Lai Fu also asked his son to take out his collection of wine, and the father and son had a delicious meal while drinking the wine.

Beijing.

After Chu Qingjiang finished calling his wife Song Wanrou, he rode his tricycle and took Zheng Xiangdong towards the courtyard.

When Zheng Xiangdong stood in front of the magnificent courtyard, he was shocked.

He looked at Chu Qingjiang in disbelief and asked, "Old Chu, you said that this courtyard and this store were bought by your boss in Gangcheng for you to use?"

Chu Qingjiang smiled and nodded, "Yes, you can't believe it?"

Zheng Xiangdong looked at him with envy, "How come you are so lucky? Why don't I have such good luck and meet such a big boss who can help me?"

Chu Qingjiang chuckled, "You can't envy this."

By the time Chu Qingjiang took Zheng Xiangdong on a tour around the place, Zheng Xiangdong was almost numb with envy.

Such a spacious and beautiful courtyard house with a garden is definitely the kind of mansion that only the big capitalists could afford in the past!

But now, the boss from Gangcheng gave it to his childhood friend to live in. What a blessing from heaven this childhood friend has!

When he saw the store full of household appliances, the counters full of fashionable watches, and the rows of military coats and tweed coats, Zheng Xiangdong's heart was already in a mess and he didn't know what to say.

Too bad!
Really awesome!
Old Chu is really going to have good luck and make a fortune!
No, he had to quickly hold on to Lao Chu's big, thick legs and let Lao Chu take him flying!

Zheng Xiangdong had doubts about what Chu Qingjiang said, but he would not ask too many questions about things that Old Chu was unwilling to talk about. He just wanted to follow Old Chu and work hard. That was all.

Because there are not enough staff in the store, Chu Qingjiang can only sell clothes such as tweed coats and military coats in the electrical appliance store.

When he finds a few more people, he will transfer the clothes to the small shop next door.

When Zheng Xiangdong heard Chu Qingjiang say that there were not enough people, he had an idea and immediately recommended someone to him.

"Old Chu, Wu Xiaoyan, who is from our family compound and our classmate, seems to have just returned to the city. She hasn't found a job yet and is doing odd jobs. She is a hardworking person and is good at speaking. Why don't we invite her to come over and be a salesperson?"

An apple face with a smile immediately appeared in Chu Qingjiang's mind.

He glanced at his childhood friend and thought about how his childhood friend seemed to treat Wu Xiaoyan differently when they were in school.

He asked Zheng Xiangdong jokingly: "Dongzi, do you still like that Wu Xiaoyan?"
