After dealing with the Ye family's house, Ye Xiaozhen went back to the Xie family's place.
As agreed with them, she would make arrangements for the Xie family's house today.
Ye Xiaozhen went straight to Granny Liu next door and asked her to help look after the house and to let her plant crops on the private plot in front of the house.
She had long coveted his former family's private plot of land, which was fertile and sunny, and the vegetables planted there grew better.
The key point is that the land is right in front of their two homes, so it is relatively close.
It’s convenient for picking vegetables.
Grandma Liu agreed immediately, "No problem, I'll keep an eye on it for you. I'll open the doors and windows every three to five days to ventilate it. Don't worry, it won't get any bad."
"Well, that's a bother."
"No problem. By the way, are you really not coming back to live here?"
"I'll be back during the Chinese New Year, but probably not during the winter. The house we bought is near the school, and all three kids will go to school there."
"It's convenient for children to go to school, so let's go. Everything is good in the city, but it's inconvenient to eat and drink, and you can't grow food."
Ye Xiaozhen smiled and said nothing, because almost everyone in the countryside now thinks this way.
They think that life in the city is inconvenient, and in the countryside, they divide the land into lots. What can't they plant on their own land?
The city is just a cement box. You can’t grow crops there, and you have to pay for everything you eat. It’s not worth it.
So they try their best to save money and would rather improve their own house than buy one in the city.
Many years later, the house in the countryside was empty and I regretted not buying a house in the city earlier.
Because at that time houses in the city were too expensive for ordinary people to afford.
Without a house in the city, a son may not even be able to find a wife.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaozhen reminded her, "Grandma Liu, I heard that Erqing is doing very well in school."
When Grandma Liu heard her grandson being praised, she was so happy that her mouth opened wide. She couldn't hide her pride, but she said modestly, "Not very well. My grades have dropped. I only ranked second in the exam last month."
What a Versailles.
"Those with good grades will take the entrance exam to go to university in big cities, and they will be assigned a job after graduation. But now it is getting harder and harder to get a house in the workplace. Some people have to wait in line for more than 40 years before they can get a spot, and they have to draw lots... Well, it's like catching a chance. After waiting in line for more than ten years, you may not be able to get a job. But without a house, it's hard to find a wife in the city."
Grandma Liu's face froze. "Is it so difficult now?"
"Oh, there are more and more college students, and the number of students is increasing every year. Everyone is waiting for a job, everyone is waiting for a house, but the waiting time is long, don't you think?"
Grandma Liu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right."
"Alas! It will be difficult to be young in the future. Houses in the city are getting more and more expensive."
"Ah? Houses in the city are getting more and more expensive?"
"Of course. You see, people have fewer children nowadays, but they are more mature. One child in the family, every one of them is a treasure, and they have to work hard to support their education. If they go to school in the countryside, they will find a job in the countryside. With broad knowledge and the habit of working in a company, who would want to go back to the countryside to farm? Look at our second and third uncles. If we ask them to give up their jobs in the city and go back home to farm, would they be willing?"
Grandma Liu shook her head and said, "I definitely don't want to."
"Well, we are moving to the city too. We don't want to come back to farm, so no matter how nice the house in the countryside is, it's useless and worthless. Of course, the house in the countryside is the ancestral home, and no matter how worthless it is, it is still a home. It doesn't have to be very beautiful, but it has to exist.
I think it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to buy a house in the countryside. A spacious and big house is enough. If you have some spare money, you might as well buy a house in the city as soon as possible. "
"That's true. I don't have any requirements for a beautiful house. I just want one that's comfortable to live in."
Their house is quite big, at least it covers a large enough area.
Her six sons all lived together, and the house had expanded significantly over the years, now accommodating a large family of more than twenty people.
That's about all I have to say. Anyway, tell her that houses in the city will become more and more expensive in the future, and houses in the countryside will be demolished according to their area. They won't give you more money just because your house is beautiful.
After chatting about these things, Ye Xiaozhen mentioned something else.
"Yes, Grandma Liu, you have a lot of land at home, and you can't eat all the vegetables you grow. Have you ever thought about selling them in the city?"
"Sell? I only eat my own vegetables. They don't look good, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them. I feed the leftovers to the chickens."
"Then you can feed the ugly ones to the chickens and pick out the good-looking ones to sell."
"Where can I sell it? It's just a small amount. It's not worth opening a stall alone."
"You don't need to open a stall, just sell it to me. I'm opening a restaurant, so I have to buy ingredients anyway. Who wouldn't buy from me? Rather than letting strangers make money, it's better to let the ones I know make money."
"Oh, really?"
"Are you serious? If you have any, sell them to me. Not only vegetables, but also chickens, ducks, eggs, and so on. I'll buy them all."
Grandma Liu nodded hurriedly when she heard this. "That's great. I have some leftovers. I'll ask my son Xiao Liu to deliver them to you. He knows where you live."
"Okay, that's a deal. As for the price, it might be cheaper than your retail price. We'll charge you the wholesale price."
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I understand. If you buy more, you can get the wholesale price."
Ye Xiaozhen chatted with her for a while, and then went back after everything was done.
The employees recruited in the past few days have arrived at the site one after another and started training and cleaning.
Their kitchen is a little special, you are not allowed to enter.
The dishes ordered by the customers are placed directly at the food delivery window, and the waiters take them from the window.
Hand out the menu and serve the food, and all the rules are made clear in advance.
That day, the two brothers-in-law came back, and Ye Xiaozhen's hotel finally opened.
Shilixiang Steamed Bun Shop, Shilixiang Hotel.
Opening promotion, 50% off all dishes on the first day.
40% off on the second day, 10% off on the third day, and 20% off on the fourth day.
The 20% discount lasts for one month.
It became a hit on the first day.
Even though they were busy preparing for the opening of the business the day before, they were still busy as a top that day.
Both brothers-in-law were employed to entertain guests and maintain order.
Because the hotel has limited tables and chairs, many people are still queuing at the front.
For those waiting in line, Ye Xiaozhen asked her brother-in-law to give them some candies and cookies.
Normally, we don't accept guests after 2 o'clock, and we only open at 4:30 in the afternoon.
But today was a special day, and they couldn't let the customers queue up for half a day in vain, so they started in the morning and were open all day until 10 pm.
Ye Xiaozhen and Xie Li were busy like spinning tops in the kitchen, and they even dragged Xie Linan in to help.
The host asked him to be in charge of posing and making some desserts.
"Can you make your bread machine faster? They love this. I think almost every table ordered it."
