"understood."
It started at around five o'clock and was busy until around nine o'clock before Zhou Chen could rest. I have to say that Jin Meilin's business at night was really good. Including private rooms in one night, there must be at least thirty tables of guests.
Zhou Chen followed Huang Degui to the alley behind the kitchen. Huang Degui took out a cigarette and handed one to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen pushed back and said, "From today on, I'm going to quit smoking."
As he spoke, he put the cigarette in his pocket into Huang Degui's hand, leaving Huang Degui stunned.
"Quit smoking? Can I quit this thing?"
“If you want to quit, you can quit.”
Huang Degui looked at his nephew in surprise. He didn't notice it just now, but now he suddenly realized that his nephew seemed different. It was his eyes that were different.
"Achen, you are a little strange today. Are you worried about something? Tell me, I am your uncle and I must be here to help you."
Zhou Chen knew that although he had inherited his memory, there would definitely be changes. Huang Degui, who had been getting along day and night, found that it was normal to be different.
"It's nothing, uncle, I'm just thinking, do I really want to be a chef all my life?"
Huang Degui didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with being a chef? You don't have to worry about food and drink, the salary is not low, and the iron rice bowl is easy to win. If you are not satisfied, then what do you want to do? Do you want to gamble?"
Having said this, he suddenly looked wary and stared at Zhou Chen.
"Achen, you keep telling me, have you been feeling itchy again lately? Don't forget the oath you swore in front of your mother's shrine. If you gamble again in the future, you will never find a woman and have no descendants. .”
"hiss!"
Zhou Chen took a breath of cold air. Although he was not the one who made this oath, he had inherited everything now after all. This oath was too cruel. If he couldn't find a woman, he would have no descendants. How cruel must one be to make such a poisonous oath?
Raise your head three feet and there is a god.
Although he has never encountered this kind of thing, he still has the attitude of preferring to believe that it exists rather than believe that it does not exist. After all, there is even a system for traveling through the film and television world, and there is really a god who can't guarantee it.
Originally, he had planned to rely on his gambling skills to earn his first pot of gold, but this vow somewhat deterred him.
He has used this skill before, and it is indeed a magical skill. It can make money quickly. However, except for making the first pot of gold, he has not used this skill much before. The more he uses it, the more dependent he will become. Big, he doesn't want to become a gambler.
"Don't worry, uncle, I have sworn an oath, and I will definitely not gamble again."
"Remember what you said, I promised your mother that I will take good care of you. You will be thirty soon. Work hard, marry a wife in the future, and live a peaceful life is better than anything else."
"Got it, uncle."
Zhou Chen didn't find Huang Degui annoying. He knew that the other party was sincerely thinking about him, but he was no longer the person he was before. Regarding his own life, he had to know the plot before making any judgments.
After smoking, Huang Degui threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.
"Let's go, pack up and get ready to go home from get off work."
"it is good."
I went back to the kitchen to tidy up, and it was already past ten o'clock. Although the salary in the big hotel was not low, it was really busy, and the get off work time was relatively late. The restaurants on Huanghe Road were open until nine o'clock. Common thing.
Zhou Chen was about to go back when suddenly a short-haired girl wearing Jin Meilin's waiter clothes ran over.
"Ah Chen, I'll have a rest tomorrow, shall we go to the Bund to play together?"
Zhou Chen looked at this short-haired girl. She was not ugly. In his memory, she was Jin Meilin's waiter. She came from out of town. Everyone called her Little Jiangxi. She had been with Jin Meilin for a short time and had a good impression of him.
However, Zhou Chen was not interested in her and refused coldly: "I have to go to work tomorrow."
After saying that, he ignored Xiao Jiangxi's disappointed expression and left the hotel directly through the back door.
As soon as he unlocked the bicycle, Huang Degui came over with a cigarette in his mouth and unlocked the bicycle next to him.
"Achen, you kid is so clueless. Although little Jiangxi is from out of town, he looks pretty good, so you don't like him at all?"
Seeing that his nephew was about to turn thirty, as an uncle, he was naturally anxious about his nephew's marriage.
He knows his nephew's situation best. He doesn't have his own house in Shanghai, but still lives with his father and his wife. Although he is a chef, he has only been working for a few years and has no savings at all.
It was impossible to find a local girl in Shanghai under such conditions, so he wanted his nephew not to be picky, and it was not impossible to find a wife from out of town.
"It's not that I don't look down on others. In my situation, what right do I have to look down on others? It's just that I haven't considered this yet. Making money is the first priority."
"I'm not asking you to get married right away. You can get along first."
"Not interested."
Having just traveled through time, how could Zhou Chen have the heart to fall in love? Love without a financial foundation is not reliable. Besides, in which world has he ever lacked a woman?
In this situation, making money is more important than falling in love.
"You kid, you really don't make people worry."
Huang Degui can't do anything about Zhou Chen. He is just a chef and has no education. If you expect him to educate Zhou Chen, it is really difficult for him.
The two rode bicycles and returned home one after the other.
Huang Degui has been a chef for more than 20 years. Apart from drinking and smoking, he has no other bad habits. In addition, his family does not have any big expenses, so he can still save money for living. He bought a second-hand house a few years ago. on the second floor of a two-bedroom house.
Huang Degui lived in one room by himself, and Zhou Chen's cousin Huang Youcheng lived in the same room, with bunk beds, Zhou Chen slept on the bottom, and Huang Youcheng slept on the upper bunk.
Huang Youcheng is sixteen years old and is in high school. He lives on campus and only comes back a few times a month. Usually, only Huang Degui and Zhou Chen live at home.
Zhou Chen briefly cleaned and then returned to the room, but he did not rest. Instead, he lay on the lower bunk of the bunk bed and communicated with the system.
Without hesitation, I used the plot card directly.
"Flowers!"
After reading the introduction first, Zhou Chen knew that Abao, who had appeared in the original mission, was the male protagonist of this TV series.
There are thirty episodes in total, starting from the first episode.
In just two days, Zhou Chen finished watching all thirty episodes and understood the overall plot of the show.
The plot begins in early 1993, and the time he travels through is in early 1991, which is almost two years before the plot officially begins.
The protagonist of this drama is Mr. Bao, also known as Abao, and the main plot begins around the stock market.
Zhou Chen is naturally no stranger to the stock market. Having traveled to the modern world of film and television, he pays attention to the stock market in most cases.
But he just wants to make money from the stock market. To be honest, he doesn't have a good impression of the stock market, because the stock market is essentially a game of capital, a battlefield where capital is used to cut leeks, and retail investors are leeks.
Zhou Chen also worked as a banker in the stock market, but in most cases he was a retail investor. However, he was not the kind of leek that was harvested, but a retail investor who made money from the stock market.
He has the ability to foresee things and has super numerical calculation ability. Even if he is not a banker but only a retail investor, he can still make money from the stock market.
Moreover, he is not greedy and will not stick to one stock to make money, so even if he is a retail investor, he can still navigate the stock market with ease.
During this period, the domestic stock market had just begun. Not to mention compared to foreign countries, even compared to Xiangjiang, it was very small. The total number of listed stocks was not many, and the number of investors during this period was not large.
A Bao in the flowers made his fortune by relying on stocks and foreign trade, and step by step he became what everyone calls Mr. Bao, and also became a star and focus on the Yellow River Road.
There is indeed Mr. Bao in my memory. Although Mr. Bao is also a celebrity on the Yellow River Road now, there is still a gap compared to two years later.
Currently, Mr. Bao is doing well in foreign trade, but he has not yet fully developed stocks, and his net worth is limited. Adding up all his net worth, one or two million in cash would be enough.
Although in this era, there are relatively few households with ten thousand yuan, and even fewer households with one million yuan, but compared with the tens of millions he will be able to spend two years later to enter the stock market, there is still a big gap between Mr. Bao at this period.
After watching the entire drama and looking back at the two missions, Zhou Chen was a little scratching his head.
These two mission goals are related to Abao, but they are both women that Abao has never had.
After knowing the plot, Zhou Chen didn't rush to take action. In Shanghai in 91, if you didn't gamble, you really needed to plan carefully if you wanted to make enough first pot of gold.
He was not in a hurry to quit Jin Meilin's job as a chef. After all, the salary was several hundred dollars higher. Even in Shanghai, it was definitely considered a high salary at this time.
The average salary in Shanghai during this period should not exceed 300 yuan, but his salary has doubled, which is really a lot. Moreover, he is only a junior chef. For a senior chef like his uncle, one month can I can get more than a thousand, sometimes more.
Jin Meilin's proprietress Lu Meilin has a good way of attracting customers when doing business, but she is a bit too calculating. To put it simply, she is rather stingy.
A few hundred yuan a month is not low for ordinary people, but for Zhou Chen, it is still too low.
In such an era of soaring, he would definitely not be willing to live such a mediocre life. He could live a hard life, but that didn't mean he was willing to live a hard life.
What's more, he still has two system tasks. Although these two tasks do not mention money, there is a hint in every word that they cannot be completed without money.
With less than two years left before the plot begins, he will naturally rise quickly.
When it comes to the most positive restaurant proprietresses on the Yellow River Road, Lu Meilin is definitely one of them. She stands at the door of the hotel early every noon and afternoon, greeting acquaintances and guests coming and going, with the inseparable words "Come and eat." ah'……
But opening a restaurant and being the boss lady, especially on Yellow River Road, is still very useful. At least Jin Meilin's business is very good.
"Oh, isn't this Ah Chen? What's going on? My hair style has been changed. My energy and energy are different. I've become more handsome."
Jin Meilin was looking for his potential guests when he suddenly saw Zhou Chen approaching. He was stunned for a moment, and then started making a fuss.
Compared with yesterday, Zhou Chen has indeed changed a lot. His original messy hair style has been shaved into a crew cut. The clothes he wears have not changed much, but when his hair style changes, it seems that his whole person's energy and energy are different. Not only do I look younger, but I also feel more energetic.
The most important thing is that the facial features and face look really handsome.
Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged and he replied calmly: "I'm just a chef, I can't say I'm handsome, but the boss lady looks even more beautiful today."
"Oh, not only have you become more handsome, but your little mouth has also become sweeter. No wonder little Jiangxi always hangs around you. It's quite cool."
Zhou Chen didn't want to talk more about this topic.
"Madam boss, I'm going to work in the kitchen first."
Jin Meilin just lamented that Zhou Chen remained unchanged and had little to do with her, let alone her business.
"Go, go, do your job well, and I will give you a salary increase when you are done."
This is just a polite remark. The boss and the wife’s flattery cannot be taken seriously.
As soon as Zhou Chen walked into the hotel, Xiao Jiangxi leaned over.
"Achen, you got a haircut. You look more energetic now. I think you are really underestimating your talents as a cook."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Really? I think you are a talentless waiter. You have the potential to become a boss lady."
After watching the plot of "Flowers", he naturally knows what kind of person Xiao Jiangxi is. He wants to be the boss's wife, even if he has to sacrifice himself, he still wants to be the boss's wife.
It was just a terrible fall in the end, but the narration in the final plot also explained that Xiao Jiangxi opened a restaurant with her two sisters and became the proprietress, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish.
Xiao Jiangxi's behavior in the play is very unpleasant, and can even be said to be despicable, but Zhou Chen has no dislike for her because she is just a passerby to him.
Since he is a passerby, it is natural that he cannot talk about likes and dislikes.
Xiao Jiangxi looked happy: "Really, Ah Chen, do you really think I can be the boss's wife?"
Looking at little Jiangxi with a look of expectation and longing, Zhou Chen smiled and nodded: "Really."
It's just a sentence, not to mention that the current little Jiangxi has not turned into what it was in the plot.
Zhou Chen didn't chat much with her. When he came to the kitchen, Huang Degui also praised Zhou Chen's new hairstyle.
"Achen, I don't have any cigarettes. Go and buy two packs of gold leaves for me."
He was about to give Zhou Chen money, but Zhou Chen pushed him back.
"Okay, uncle, it's just two packs of cigarettes, what more money can I give you?"
Without waiting for Huang Degui to say anything, he went out to buy cigarettes. Huang Degui looked at Zhou Chen's back and smiled happily.
In fact, there are several cigarette shops on Huanghe Road, but Zhou Chen did not go elsewhere, but went directly to the cigarette kiosk next to Golden Phoenix opposite.
Jingxiu, who sells cigarettes on the Yellow River Road, is also a very interesting person in the plot. If Zhou Chen wants to give an evaluation, that is it.
Ordinary people who are sober in the world!
Although he appears to be somewhat advanced in the plot, in essence he is just an ordinary person who can speak well and see the essence of many things clearly. But if you want to say how capable he is and what kind of unknown eminent monk he is, then it is absolutely too much. Gao looked at it.
Therefore, Zhou Chen felt that he was the kind of person who could see himself clearly and had extraordinary vision.
Well, we also need to add a little bit of inquiring. After all, if you want to ask who is the most well-informed on the Yellow River Road, Jingxiu is definitely the one.
Another point is that Jingxiu's interpersonal relationships are very good. The protagonists and supporting actors in the distance all have a good relationship with him. Later, Miss Wang was able to put a luxury car worth two million at his place, which is enough to prove that Jingxiu is a very good person. The character is still good.
"Two packets of gold leaves."
Jing Xiu skillfully took two packs of cigarettes and handed them over. When he saw Zhou Chen, he was slightly surprised.
"Oh, Ah Chen, change your hairstyle."
Zhou Chen would often come to him to buy cigarettes before. After going back and forth, the two of them were naturally familiar with each other. It would be no problem to say hello and chat for a few words.
"Ah."
Zhou Chen handed over the money, then took Jing Xiu's change. Just as he was about to speak, an excited cheer suddenly sounded on Huanghe Road.
"Mr. Bao, Mr. Bao is here! Mr. Bao is here!"
