When passing by Chen Xin's store, Xiang Nan thought that Chen Xin was also his employee, so he asked Chen Xin and his wife to go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner together.
Chen Xin has helped her sell goods for more than 300 yuan recently, so he can be considered to have made a contribution and deserves a reward.
"Dinner will be served at 7 o'clock sharp, remember to come." Xiangnan reminded him and rode his bike to the department store.
I bought some water cups, washbasins, wooden barrels, lunch boxes and other things, and then bought some snacks in the grocery area on the first floor.
Add a box of mini cakes baked in my own oven and I have more than enough for snacks.
She returned to the shop, poured out the lobster, and brushed it with a toothbrush.
This thing tastes good but it is troublesome to clean. You must clean it thoroughly before eating it.
Yang Xiao went home and put all his mother's unused skin care products into a paper bag. His mother asked him in surprise, "Who are you giving all these skin care products to? Are you in a relationship?"
"You can't use all of these, so I'll sell them for some money before they expire."
His mother, Yin Xiaoyun, raised her hand and slapped him: "You unfilial son, instead of using it to please girls, you're just thinking about making money every day. It's fine if you can just make money from the county, but now you're selling everything in the house!"
Yang Xiao smiled: "Mom, there are several girls in our compound who use this. Girls prefer beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry.
I'm not afraid they'll expire, I'd rather sell them for some money."
Yin Xiaoyun glared at him and said, "Go find a partner and stop thinking about money. Your family needs your money!"
"I'm looking, I'm looking hard. Oh, Mom, Xiangnan opened an image design store that specializes in matching people's images and making a whole set of clothes.
Aunt Xie Guifang and Aunt Zhu Hua are both her loyal customers, you can also go and try it.
She gave me a 20% discount, like she was a Supreme VIP, with free image design fees."
Yin Xiaoyun finally smiled: "I heard that your dad has been praising her every day these days. It's a pity that she's married, otherwise it would be great to marry her."
Yin Xiaoyun knew that her husband and son were able to get Secretary Xie away thanks to Xiangnan, so she did not look down on her just because she was from the countryside.
"She's opening her shop tomorrow, why don't you go and show your support?" Yang Xiao said as he walked out. "And bring along all the aunts you're close to."
"Okay, I get it. I think what you need most is her help to change your image so that girls will actively come to you!"
"Mom, there are so many people who like me. It's not that I don't like anyone. Don't worry. If I really haven't met someone I like, I'll just choose someone you like."
"Okay, get out of here. No, why are you out so late? Why aren't you eating at home?"
"No, someone is treating me to a meal."
He didn't want to say that Xiangnan was treating him to dinner. He was sure that as long as he said that Xiangnan was treating him to dinner, his mother and father would have to go along.
It would be too awkward to have dinner with these elders, and Xiangnan would also feel uncomfortable.
It’s better to eat with young people.
Yang Xiao came to Xiangnan's shop, where Xiangnan was washing lobsters in front of the faucet.
There was no fan in the shop, so she felt a little hot while washing and her forehead was sweating.
"Why are you sitting here in such a heat?" Yang Xiao asked, "How about installing a fan?"
Xiangnan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I just bought the fan but haven't had time to find an electrician to install it yet. It's really hot to do any work in this weather."
"What are you doing?" Yang Xiao took a palm-leaf fan from his car and squatted beside her to fan her.
"Wash the lobsters. I saw some crayfish for sale at the market, so I bought some to make spicy shrimp for you tonight."
"Is this delicious? There's a lot of it in the pond in front of my grandma's house, but they don't eat it because it's hard and has no meat."
"Hey, of course it's delicious. You'll know when you eat it. It's just troublesome to wash it. It took me a long time to wash only half of it."
Yang Xiao handed her the palm-leaf fan and said, "Let me do it. Just clean it."
"Well, like this... brush the whole thing like this, then cut open the shell and remove the shrimp thread and gills."
Yang Xiao watched her do it once and laughed, "It's really troublesome. You have to wash them one by one."
"But it's delicious. You have to pay a price for delicious food."
The two of them washed the lobsters much faster together. Xiangnan asked Yang Xiao, "How much did you borrow? I heard they're going to start road construction. Are they going to build it in every town, or just a few?"
"Let's repair a part first, and your town will be the first to be repaired." Yang Xiao said.
"That's great! Now that the road is repaired, it will be much faster to get from town to the county. Now it takes two hours to ride a bicycle, and my butt hurts.
If the road is repaired, I will buy a tractor so that I can haul goods from home to the county town to sell."
“Tractors aren’t cheap.”
"Buy a second-hand one for just over a thousand."
"That requires someone who can drive it. Is there anyone in your family who can drive it?"
Not everyone can drive a tractor, and if you don't drive it well, it can cause serious consequences.
"I know how to drive it. I'll teach them how to drive it after I buy it. If they don't know how to drive it, they can learn."
"Then I'll ask the cement factory for you. They seem to have some tractors that are being retired."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you are really my brother. I rely on you for this matter."
"After all, it's not difficult to eat crayfish like you." Yang Xiao said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll buy your crayfish from now on. Come to me if you want to eat some." Xiangnan said generously.
"Look at all the shops in this market that haven't been sold. I'm really worried now. I've taken out a loan, but if I can't pay it back..."
"What are you afraid of? Secretary Xie loaned you the money, so paying it back is your ability. If you can't pay it back, that's Secretary Xie's legacy. Let them ask Secretary Xie for it."
Yang Xiao smiled. "You've squeezed Secretary Xie dry. He's going to be transferred next month. Do you want to have dinner with him?"
"Let's not eat anymore. I don't dare to see him now."
Yang Xiao laughed heartily: "You are still afraid of seeing him. Tell me, does he love you or hate you now?"
"He can't blame me. I helped him solve a big problem. Liu Qing is definitely holding him back.
If I don't take action against Liu Jianguo, he will be in trouble sooner or later. Can he be corrupted by the public grain just because he wants to?
These days, people have plenty to eat but still can’t get enough to eat, so how could he be greedy for food?
By the way, what is his situation now? What will he do with all the extra grain he collected? The people will definitely want an explanation."
"The provincial government is still holding a meeting. My dad went to a meeting today. I guess I should be exempted from the public grain tax for two years."
"That would be great. This way, the price of grain in our city will drop. The harvest this year is also very good, so the price of grain will drop significantly."
"I guess this is how it will be handled, but a decision won't be made so quickly for the time being. The busy farming season is about to begin, and the grain tax due may still have to be paid."
Xiangnan winked at him and said, "There's a way to make money. It's a bit risky, but you can make some money by taking advantage of the time difference."
“How do you make money?”
