The current Shanhu Town is very small, with only a supply and marketing cooperative, a small restaurant, and scattered stalls. It does not have the prosperous and prosperous scene of later generations. In the previous life, there was an East China International Jewelry City here, a small town like a city. It was just as prosperous, but completely different from now.

"My friend doesn't live in the town, and there is a Yue Opera star in their village." Lin Baiwei slowed down and drove towards the village.

The road in the village is very narrow, and cattle and villagers pass by from time to time. Everyone looks at their car in surprise. More and more people gather together. People who can afford to drive a car at this time are either high officials or senior officials. The villagers were pointing at the big boss, guessing which big shot it was.

The villagers guessed the most about the Shaoxing opera star. After all, she was the most promising person in their village.

Chu Qiao named him, "Is that the niche singer? Master Xu Yulan's favorite student, he's a pretty good singer."

This Shaoxing Opera star is still young now and is not considered a master yet. He will be considered a master in a few years.

Lin Bai smiled, "You also like to listen to Yue opera?"

"It's not bad, I can still sing a few verses."

Chu Qiao cleared her throat and sang a piece of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Lin Baiwei was fascinated by it. Although he was not a professional, as an amateur, he was still very good.

"You sing really well. In fact, with your voice, musical talent, and appearance, you're good in the entertainment industry. You might become a big star!" Lin Baiwei joked.

Chu Qiao shook her head vigorously, "No, that circle is too chaotic and I can't bear it."

She could just play the piano in a dance hall, she could handle it, but she didn't have the ability to be in the entertainment industry, but——

"In the future, when I make money, I will invest in making movies. This will make more money."

Chu Qiao had made plans for a long time. She loved watching movies, and she knew many award-winning and box office hits. This was the benefit of being reborn. Investing in movies was even better than being a star.

Lin Baiwei was no longer surprised. Every time she chatted with Chu Qiao, she would be given a lot of surprises, which made her, who had studied abroad and claimed to be a woman of the new era, ashamed.

"This is a good idea. I'll hang out with you when the time comes."

"I dare not say anything else, but movies will definitely make you money." Chu Qiao was confident.

Lin Bai smiled, but she didn't really believe it. Even the stock gods didn't dare to say that they were 100% sure about investing. If she made a profit, she would lose. But she could afford to lose, so she just played with it.

There was a girl in her early twenties standing at the intersection. She could be seen waving from a distance. Chu Qiao leaned out of the car window. She had good eyes and was stunned when she saw the girl's face clearly.

They are actually acquaintances.

It was Jun Haiyan, who had met her several times in her previous life, a strong woman who founded a listed jewelry company.

Now she is still a young girl, less calm and noble, more lively and playful. Chu Qiao couldn't help but smile. This world is really small. Everywhere she goes, there are all acquaintances.

"Haiyan, where is the car parked?" Lin Baiwei asked loudly.

"There's a place to stop ahead. It's been a hard journey."

Jun Haiyan was very enthusiastic. When she saw Chu Qiao's face, she was stunned for a long time before she smiled and said, "You are Chu Qiao, right? It's exactly what Bai Wei said, you're so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away."

"Bai Wei is too exaggerated, you are also very beautiful." Chu Qiao joked generously.

Jun Haiyan was also very generous, "Yes, we are all beauties. Let's go and eat. My mother just made it."

Lin Baiwei parked the car, and Jun Haiyan led them home, followed by many villagers, and some children surrounded the car, reaching out to touch it like looking at a zoetrope. Jun Haiyan wanted to stop it, but Lin Baiwei Stopped it, "It's just an old car. It's not bad for children. Let's go eat. I'm starving."

"I'm hungry too."

Chu Qiao was in a good mood. Seeing an old friend from her youth made her eat an extra bowl of rice.

Jun Haiyan's home is very spacious, with a large yard and is kept very clean. Her mother is an honest and honest rural woman who is not good at words. Jun's father is the village chief and has a good way of dealing with people. There are also two boys who belong to Jun Haiyan. The younger brothers, one is eighteen or nineteen years old, and the other is fourteen or fifteen years old, both are shy.

The eldest brother Chu Qiao has also met. His name is Jun Haifeng. He is Jun Haiyan's right-hand man and has made great contributions to her. The younger brother heard from Jun Haiyan that he seems to be in the company, but he is mainly responsible for the breeding area. Because of his introverted personality, Since Jun Haiyan was not good at business matters, she asked her younger brother to take care of technology.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including duck soup with dried bamboo shoots, steamed snails, braised pork, steamed pork with dried vegetables, steamed potatoes, stir-fried loach, and steamed eel, etc. The aroma went straight into my stomach, making me even more hungry.

"Would you like some wine for dinner? It's sorghum cooked at home." Jun's father asked.

"No, just eat." Lin Baiwei refused, as he had to drive soon.

Chu Qiao also refused. It was better not to drink when going out.

The rice is cooked in a wood-fired stove. The rice has its own fragrance. Even if you don't eat vegetables, you can eat a bowl. There is also a layer of golden rice crust. Chu Qiao shoveled some and soaked it in old duck soup. It is supremely delicious.

"It's been a long time since I've had firewood-fired food. It tastes so good."

Chu Qiao ate with gusto. Ever since she went to Shanghai, she had never had firewood rice. She didn't know why, but the same ingredients cooked in a firewood stove were fragrant.

"This is the new potato, right? It's delicious."

Chu Qiao sandwiched a lot of steamed potatoes, mixed with some lard and soy sauce, which was very delicious. There was also dried vegetable meat, which was also very fragrant. The black and shiny dried vegetables were completely soaked in oil, and the meat was not greasy. The dried vegetables were even more fragrant. , is a great tool for serving meals.

"The potatoes were dug from the ground in the morning. Eat more vegetables and less rice." Jun's father said with a smile. Jun's mother was also very happy, but she was not very good at talking, so she just smiled.

Chu Qiao ate three bowls of rice and hiccupped. If it hadn't hit her throat, she could have eaten another bowl. It was so delicious.

"I need to take a break, I'm so exhausted."

Lin Baiwei was also very tired, so he went for a walk in the yard to eat, and asked about pearl farming.

Jun's father is an expert, knows a lot, answers every question, and speaks in detail.

"Is there a pearl market in our town?" Chu Qiao asked.

"Yes, it was built last year. It's not big in scale." Jun's father smiled.

Chu Qiao thought about it and had an idea, so she asked: "Is there any pearl powder in the market?"

Jun's father nodded, "There are some pearl powder, usually pharmacies collect it. Pearl powder clears away heat, detoxifies and improves eyesight. It is also good at stopping bleeding. The pharmacies collect it every year. If you want it, I'll get some."

Chu Qiao's thoughts are more mature. According to Jun's father's tone, pearl powder nowadays is basically used for medicinal purposes, but many women in big cities actually already have beauty awareness. Pearl powder is not only medicinal, but also a holy product for beauty. .

"Uncle, can your pearl market guarantee the supply of pearl powder?"

Chu Qiao is worried that the current pearl cultivation is not strong enough and the supply cannot keep up with the demand. She plans to open a beauty shop, just like Lin Baiwei's clothing store, specializing in the business of rich people. There is no shortage of rich wives in Shanghai.
