"You brat, why are you spouting such obvious truths?"

The village chief was quite envious of Xiao's father. It wasn't that his own daughter-in-law was bad, but that Xiao's daughter-in-law was just too good.

“Dashan is right. Fifty-something is the age to make a name for myself. I definitely have to work hard at this factory and turn it into a big enterprise so that I can leave it to my two children.”

Both Da Bao and Er Bao are sweet-talkers, and as soon as they heard their grandfather say this, they happily hugged his leg.

"Grandpa is so good. When Dabao grows up, he will earn a lot of money. When that time comes, Dabao will buy you whatever you want and make you the happiest old man in the world."

"Erbao also bought airplanes and cannons for Grandpa."

The airplanes and cannons were actually what he wanted, so what he wanted was what his grandfather wanted, no problem!

Mr. Xiao held his two children in his arms, one in each arm, his heart melting.

"Alright, Grandpa will wait for that day!"

Since they were already here, they couldn't stay at home every day. Whenever she had time, Gu An'an would take her family out and explore all the must-see places in Beijing.

When Gu An'an was busy, they would wander around on their own, and the more they wandered, the more Wang Dashan's heart would wander.

"Dad, I want to stay here."

"What?"

Didn't you say you were just coming to have some fun? Why are you suddenly deciding to stay?

“Dad, although our village is developing quite well now, I would have stayed in the village without this trip. But now that I’ve seen how things are developing here, I want to give it a shot. Whether it’s for myself or for the children, I want to take a chance, otherwise I’ll regret it.”

Seeing his serious expression, the village chief took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Da Shan's wife, "Cuicui, what do you think?"

Zhang Cuicui nodded in agreement. "Dad, I agree with Dashan's idea, and I also want to stay. If it works out, Dandan can also come to Beijing to study."

The teaching conditions here are much better than at home. Not to mention others, the things that my two children are taught at school are completely different from what we have back home.

I don't have any grand ambitions. I just want Dandan to have a good environment, to go to university, and to get a stable job, so that our Wang family can also prosper.

Who wouldn't think about their children? The village chief is no exception. Although the couple is responsible for many things in the village, they are not irreplaceable, and he can make the arrangements.

"Alright, since you have this idea, we will definitely support you. We'll take care of Dandan, so you can focus on your work."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Although they wanted to stay, the two of them didn't have much of a plan, so they could only go to their family's capable person, Gu An'an.

What do you want to do?

The two scratched their heads. "We don't know either. We don't have any special skills. We were just thinking of setting up a stall to gain some experience first."

Gu An'an admired that he was willing to set up a street stall instead of wanting to open a big store within a year.

"Setting up a street stall is fine. Although there are many people setting up stalls now, the market is still huge. As long as you work hard, making money won't be difficult. But have you thought about what to sell?"

"We've looked at them carefully these past two days. They sell clothes, accessories, daily necessities, and even food. But I think if we want to last, we should focus on food. The other stalls have similar products, and the competition is too fierce."

When it comes to food, it's all about the taste. Stalls that serve delicious food do really good business.

Eating is a major issue concerning people's livelihood. This is a phrase that people will still say decades from now, let alone now that the policy has just been relaxed.

As long as the food meets everyone's expectations, people will be willing to pay, and business will naturally be good.

"Since you want to set up a food stall, I have an idea you can listen to."

Gu An'an told Xiao's mother about how she wanted to start a braised meat business but didn't have any help.

The couple were pleasantly surprised. They knew Xiao Ma and An An's braised meat skills and were confident that it would be a big hit.

If they were to get involved, they would definitely be the ones to benefit.

“We’re willing to do it. Auntie just needs to master the recipe; leave the rest to me.”

"Yes, leave it to us. We're young, and we're not afraid of using our strength."

Just then, seeing that her husband's factory was up and running, Xiao's mother was itching to start her own business. With the help of Wang Dashan and Zhang Cuicui, Xiao's mother set up her braised meat stall in just two days.

"Don't miss out! Gu Family Braised Pork, made with a secret old braising sauce, is absolutely delicious. Welcome to try it."

The couple had seen a lot over the years and were no ordinary villagers. As soon as they set up their stall, they started calling out to customers.

As for why it's called Gu Family Braised Pork instead of Xiao Family or Wang Family, it was a decision made unanimously by the whole family, since the recipe for this braised pork came from Gu An'an.

"This flavor is amazing! Boss, did you put anything you shouldn't have in this braised meat?"

Wang Dashan showed no anger at being questioned. "How could that be! We use only the best spices for our braised meat. We would never put in any of those random, shoddy things."

"Take a look, this is our medical examination certificate, and this is our business license. The procedures are absolutely legitimate."

These days, who would prepare these things when setting up a food stall? The man who asked the question leaned over and saw that it really was a certificate issued by the relevant department, which made him feel more at ease.

"Okay, okay, that's all right. How much is this braised meat? Weigh some for me."

On the first day of setting up the stall, we didn't have a huge variety of products, but it was definitely enough.

After Wang Dashan quoted the price, the man readily weighed out the same amount.

After weighing it, I couldn't wait to get home; I started tasting it right there in front of the stall.

"Tsk! Delicious! Rich but not greasy, I can never make this taste at home."

"Is it really that delicious?"

The man was a foodie and a connoisseur of food. "You can say I'm ugly and have a bad figure, but you can't doubt my taste buds. If I say it's delicious, then it's absolutely delicious."

After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Dashan and said, "Boss, weigh out two more jin for me. I'll send some to my father-in-law so he can have it with his drinks."

Seeing that he ordered more after trying it, the others, who had long been unable to resist the aroma, could no longer stand it.

"Boss, weigh out two jin for me too."

Although they were very confident in the taste of the braised meat, the two of them were not so sure before they opened for business.

But once they open for business, they're completely overwhelmed with work.

Like the man at the beginning, many people tasted the food and thought it was good, so they bought an extra portion. As a result, the ingredients they prepared for four hours of sales were sold out in just an hour or two.

"The boss is gone?"

Wang Dashan was incredibly excited!

"Yes, we didn't prepare much for today's first day of setting up a stall, and we're all out."

"Oh dear! My neighbor bought some braised meat from your store, and it made my son cry with envy. He finally made it here, but you've sold out. How am I supposed to explain this to him when I get home?"
