From a life of blissful idleness, "naively sweet" Su Le unexpectedly transmigrates to the arduous 1970s and becomes the little darling of her family. It should have been another life of lei...
Su Le patted her. "As long as he learns, even though we'll be apart more often, you'll be able to buy the bags and clothes you want. This will give you quality assurance and give your child a solid foundation. You could be together for fifty or sixty years, so what's a little separation going to matter?"
Xu Jiaojiao also came to her senses. "Well, you're right. Now that we're young, of course we should work harder. When we're old, we can travel around."
Su Le nodded and said, "Come on, come with me to the study and we'll see what kind of store to open next. I plan to be involved in all of them."
Xu Jiaojiao looked at her in surprise, followed her to the study, and the two of them took out the land deed and began to think calmly.
Xu Jiaojiao thought of the exquisite accessories she would get for her wedding and quickly said, "We can open a jewelry store and sell jewelry, hairpins, and the like. Lele, do you have the means to do this?"
Su Le's consciousness entered the space and found a jewelry store, and the hairbands and hairpins that were bought in the supermarket. He quickly replied, "Yes, they do. People say pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years. How come you are getting smarter?"
Xu Jiaojiao laughed out loud, "Hahaha, how am I the same as everyone else! I looked at the land deed and decided to choose this place. It's next to the shopping mall, and there are quite a few people gathered there. It's also next to my mother's cloth factory. There are more women and young girls there. We can give it a try."
Su Le nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to recruit again. I can open the store after I find the right people. Otherwise, what will we do if we only have a store but no staff?"
Xu Jiaojiao thought about it and realized that this was the case. Their staff was already fully booked and they couldn't reduce the number of people, otherwise some people might not be able to rest during their rest period.
Both of them fell silent. It was not so easy to recruit people now. They had tried once before, and there were only a few suitable people.
But Xu Jiaojiao quickly realized that she was quite familiar with Beijing and knew there was an orphanage here. "Le Le, we can go to the orphanage and see if there are any children of the right age."
Su Le nodded. "We'll go there early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid everyone there might be under 16. I don't really want to recruit child labor."
Xu Jiaojiao still wanted to go and take a look, "Let's go and take a look first."
The two of them decided on this and walked out of the study to play with the children at the stone table. Yu Qi and Song Wanwan estimated the time and started cooking before they got off work. They could eat as soon as they came back without having to wait.
Su Fugui watched Xu Jiaojiao bending over to play with them, fearing that the children might accidentally bump into her, so he kept reminding her.
When everyone came back, Yu Qi and Song Wanwan cooked the food and served it to everyone.
Xu Jiaojiao was the happiest during the meal. Several children stayed here for two days. "Mom, the food here is so good!" a two-year-old child said in a baby voice.
The adults were all smiling, but Yu Qi felt a little embarrassed.
After dinner, Xu Hu and the others began their day's report. Su Le shared a new idea with everyone. "This is strictly for women. Regardless of age."
"I don't think this is appropriate. Nowadays, people favor boys over girls. If we sell some boys' products, it might be more popular, right?" Xu Hu suggested.
Su Le also began to think about it. What Xu Hu said made sense, but it was a bit unconventional.
Xu Jiaojiao was also thinking about it, and she agreed with what Xu Hu said.
Yu Jie also said, "Maybe something edible would be more acceptable, or something that people can preserve for a long time."
Wang Ming and the others nodded and fell into deep thought.
Su Le thought for a moment and said, "Then let's prepare some snacks, such as oden, spicy hot pot, or something like that."
Everyone looked up at her, not understanding what Malatang was. Su Le explained, "Malatang is actually a kind of mixed noodle dish. You can put anything you like in it. Oden is just meatballs and vegetables on skewers and cooked in water. They are both fast food. It's a different experience from Zhang Liang's restaurant."
Xu Jiaojiao had never tried it before, so she nodded. "Okay, this is good! Later, we're going to open a jewelry store, and the bag store you mentioned, and other things like that."
Su Le also smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's settled. The problem now is that we are short of people. Can you team leaders recommend a team leader to me?"
Xu Jiaojiao pointed at Yu Qi and Song Wanwan who were playing with their children nearby and said, "I think the sisters-in-law can take on this role. They cook delicious food."
Xu Hu and the others also nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law's cooking is delicious. The color, aroma and taste are all good, and it's on par with Brother Liang's." Yu Jie said
Su Le walked up to the two of them and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you plan to go to work?"
Yu Qi and Song Wanwan pointed at themselves and waved their hands, "We don't have any skills. We can only do some farm work."
Su Le thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, come with me to the kitchen. It's very simple. I think you will learn quickly."
The two followed her suspiciously. Su Le took out some dried kelp from the cupboard and said, "Sister-in-law, pour cold water into the pot."
Yu Qi did as he was told. Su Le put the dried kelp in to soak. "Second sister-in-law, keep the fire low." Song Wanwan sighed and pulled out some firewood. After about 20 minutes, Su Le took out the dried kelp. "Second sister-in-law, keep the fire high." Song Wanwan then put the matches back in and added more wood.
After the fire boiled, Su Le took out a spoon to skim off the foam. Then he added bonito flakes and let it sit for 40 seconds. "Second sister-in-law, turn off the heat." Song Wanwan continued to do as instructed.
