Xia Taiping asked, "Speaking of which, Jing Shu and Ru Jia are both unemployed since they came here. Should we help them find jobs?"

Jingxing is beyond saving. Jingshu and Rujia have always been reliable. As long as they put in the effort, they will definitely gain the attention of their superiors.

Xia Jingshu: "Uncle, we're preparing to start a business. We'll begin once we're done with these next couple of days."

He returned to the capital to realize his ambitions and had no intention of working for any other organization.

Xia Jingxing, tilting his head back, pressed on, "What kind of business? Can I join you?"

Xia Jingxing has been back for two years. With his restless nature, he doesn't want to go to get off work on time every day, so he hasn't been working.

A month or two after the free trade was opened up, he started thinking about doing business, but he hadn't decided what to sell.

If Xia Jingshu's family were to go into business, he could get involved. If it suited him, he could join them; if not, he could earn some capital to do what he liked.

Xia Jingshu: "Of course we welcome you in."

Xia Yuanqiang: "Do you need us to give you some advice?"

In this family, the person who does the most business is Xia Yuanqiang; his business used to extend overseas.

Xia Taiping and Xia Tai'an also had considerable knowledge of this industry.

With their guidance, Xia Jingshu was able to avoid some detours.

Xia Jingshu: "We plan to start with braised meat."

They lost most of their money buying the mountain, and since there's no cost support for technical things, they can make money quickly by making braised meat.

Once I've earned enough money and bought the necessary equipment, I can do what I want to do.

Xia Tai'an: "Braised meat is delicious. If you make it and sell it, it will definitely be very popular. It's just that meat is hard to buy. Even the meat we usually eat is hard to get. Even if the whole family goes out to find meat, we can't bring back much."

Actually, he was being tactful. The supply of meat was extremely tight, and it was snatched up as soon as it was put out each day. It was really difficult for Xia Jingshu to use the meat to make braised dishes.

Xia Jingshu: "Let's go to the market and buy some meat if we find any. The main source of meat is still the mountains outside the city, and we plan to go there for a visit."

Xia Jingshu never considered sourcing meat from the market. They were going to run a braised food business, and their daily meat intake was over several hundred kilograms. Relying on meat from the market would make it impossible to succeed in the braised food business.

There are many mountains outside the capital. As long as they go a little further, they can always bring back some wild game.

With the initial costs covered, their braised meat business was ready to go.

Xia Jingxing: "I know where there is prey, but it's a bit far from here, and we might not be able to return on the same day we go."

Xia Jingshu: "It's alright. It's winter now, the meat won't spoil in a day or two. Jingxing, go to the scrap yard tomorrow and find some broken bicycles. I plan to modify one into a tricycle."

Xia Jingxing: "Alright, I'll go tomorrow."

Back in their room that evening, Yu Rujia handed Xia Jingshu a stack of notebooks that Han Meifeng had brought over.

Xia Jingshu never expected that his second aunt and mother-in-law would be so capable.

Yu Rujia: "I'm planning to open a pharmacy in one of the two shops, and sell soap on the side. Could you help me with the paperwork when you have time? Do you have any ideas for the other one?"

She doesn't like to work, but with a shop here and a bunch of nephews and sons under her command, she can easily order them around.

Once the shop is nearly open, we'll hire workers to do the work. The most important recipes will be arranged by her so there's no risk of leaks.

There's no internet and not much entertainment now, so even if she's lazy, she can't stay home all day doing nothing but staring at the ceiling.

She had a pharmacy to run around in, and it didn't matter how much she earned; it was just a way to pass the time.

When I'm in the mood, I'll open the gates for a couple of days; when I'm not, I'll just slack off.

Xia Jingshu: "If you don't have any ideas about the other shop, just leave it empty for now. I plan to sell braised meat for a while and then, once I have enough capital, I'll specialize in electronics and make electronic products to sell."

"We might need this shop then. As for your pharmacy license, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Yu Rujia: "Don't worry about the documents. The North is different from the South. The plants on the mountains never wither all year round. In the winter in the North, it will probably be difficult to gather enough medicinal herbs to make pills."

"At the very least, there's definitely no mugwort needed for soap. The pharmacy won't have any until at least March or April, so you should focus on your work."

Xia Jingshu: "Jingxing needs time to collect abandoned bicycles. I'll take the kids to finish setting up the vegetable shed tomorrow before we go to get the permits."

Due to the weather, the availability of vegetables in the north is limited during winter.

The Yu family is used to eating a variety of leafy green vegetables all year round and can't stand the monotony of vegetables, so building a vegetable shed is an urgent task.

Having found work, Xia Jingxing hurriedly left after breakfast. Even if he wasn't concerned about how much the braised meat would sell for, just thinking about how delicious it was made him wish he could get a tricycle and go hunting out of town right now.

Since returning to the capital, he hadn't eaten braised meat. Now that it was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?

Xia Jingshu originally only planned to make a tricycle, but Xia Jingxing was lucky enough to find a scrapped engine.

This thing is useless in other people's hands, but it becomes a treasure in Xia Jingshu's hands.

After finishing with the vegetable shed, he and his team came back to repair the engine.

After several days of hard work, a spacious tricycle with a canopy was completed.

Because engine oil is hard to come by, Xia Jingshu also installed foot pedals so that it can be used as a tricycle when there is no engine oil.

On the first day out of the city, Yu Rujia went with a large group of children, and Duoyi followed the group as well.

Dorf didn't come. His exceptional comprehension and practical skills made the professor wish he could keep him tied to his belt so he could quickly pass on his knowledge to Dorf.

The highly valued Duofu rarely had time to go home, let alone go hunting with them in the mountains.

Steamed buns and twisted rolls have arrived.

Upon arriving in Beijing, being unfamiliar with the place and with their owners busy at home, the two dogs could only run around in the yard, rarely having a chance to go out and get some exercise.

The whole family, including the two dogs, got into the tricycle, which was driven by Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing said enthusiastically, "Although there are no mountains like the Ten Thousand Mountains here, I'll guide you, and I guarantee you'll come back with a lot of good things."

Duo Lu, itching to ask, "Fifth Uncle, are there tigers on the mountain?"

Xia Jingxing choked. What kind of people are these? They want to fight tigers as soon as they open their mouths. Where are there so many tigers for him to fight?

Xia Jingxing: "No, if we want to get tigers, we have to go much further, and it will take at least a few days to go back and forth."

Duolu said with a disappointed look, "It takes so much time, enough for us to go back to Shangfen Brigade. The capital city is really not as fun as the brigade."
