The prosperity of the industry can also bring benefits.
Wen Zhichao thought about this statement and said, "It seems to make some sense."
Xia Ruzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you mean by some truth?"
Wen Zhichao grinned and said, "I never thought you'd have a better business sense than me! I always thought you were amazing, but you're even more amazing than I thought! You always surprise and delight me!"
Xia Ruzheng was delighted and pleased by the compliment, yet he pretended to be reserved and said, "I'm amazing in so many ways! You just don't know it!"
Wen Zhichao said: "Then I will wait for you to show it to me slowly!"
Wen Zhichao's words were somewhat ambiguous, and Xia Ruzheng couldn't help blushing.
What Xia Ruzheng never expected was that Tian Nier was very outgoing. Ever since she first spoke to Xia Ruzheng, she felt that Xia Ruzheng was a very good person. Regardless of the fact that they might be competitors, she often came to talk to Xia Ruzheng.
Xia Ruzheng had only heard that people in the north were more generous and straightforward than people in the south, but this time he had a real experience of it.
Tian Nier really spoke whatever she wanted to say. After just two or three times, Xia Ruzheng knew that her family was indeed from Shandong. She had two children and couldn't make much money from farming, so the couple left the fields and children to the elderly in the family while their parents were still able to work and went out to earn money themselves.
This was also an early example of the "Guangdong Drifter." It's said that the two had drifted to Beijing and Shanghai, but neither had made it, so they kept moving south. However, Tian Nier said that as long as they could make money, it didn't matter how far they went.
Others are in a much more difficult situation than Wen Zhichao and I. At least the two of us have some start-up capital, and we have no worries, no children or elderly people to support.
To be honest, Xia Ruzheng felt a little sympathetic towards them.
Tian Nier couldn't stand Xia Ruzheng's expression and said, "I know you must be sympathizing with us in your heart. Every time I talk about this with others, you always have this expression. In fact, I want to say that there is no need to do so. We are more difficult than others, but we are not helpless. We can work and support ourselves and our children, which is better than many people."
I didn't expect that this was such a broad-minded person.
Xia Ruzheng's fondness for Tian Ni'er deepened. Normally, he'd thought her a simpleton with a big heart, but now he saw she possessed a wealth of worldly wisdom. Perhaps to some, this was simply complacency, but wasn't that what most people strive for? Providing a better life for their parents and children was their ultimate goal.
"I'm sorry you think so."
Tian Nier smiled and looked a little silly, but Xia Ruzheng found it quite cute.
Xia Ruzheng didn't expect that he would learn some life lessons from such an ordinary silly girl.
Originally, Xia Ruzheng didn't want to introduce Tian Ni'er to Grandma Liu, feeling they were from completely different worlds—one highbrow, the other lowbrow. But when they happened to meet, Xia Ruzheng introduced them. Unexpectedly, Tian Ni'er's somewhat silly personality actually endeared her to Grandma Liu.
"People like this may look silly, but they actually understand a lot!" Grandma Liu said to Xia Ruzheng privately.
Xia Ruzheng said, "Grandma used to think I was the smartest, but now she thinks Ni'er is the smartest, right?"
Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Of course I still think you are the smartest!"
Although Tian Nier often talked about her man, Xia Ruzheng had never dealt with her man. From a distance, he looked like a strong northern man.
After meeting Wen Zhichao, Tian Nier was not surprised at all. She just told Xia Ruzheng that people with white hair like this usually don't have very good brains, but she didn't expect that this person in Xia Ruzheng's family has a very good brain.
Tian Nier thought that someone who made more money than her family did was smart. This reasoning made Xia Ruzheng laugh and cry. But often, this standard is indeed the most obvious. Just like you can't use grades to measure student performance, but can you find a better standard than grades?
Gradually, Xia Ruzheng also followed Tian Nier to the vegetable market.
Xia Ruzheng goes to the vegetable market every day, puts vegetables in his wraps and pancakes, and cooks three meals a day.
Tian Nier's carefree personality allows her to greet people who are buying vegetables along the way. Unexpectedly, she became familiar with them so quickly even though they had only been there for a short time.
Tian Nier knows the market situation better than Xia Ruzheng. She knows exactly which vegetables are grown by themselves, which ones are of the correct weight, and which ones like to add extra weight.
This is also a skill that has been practiced. Given Tian Nier's family situation, it is really impossible to make a living outside without being thrifty.
After they got to know each other, Tian Nier even brought a large meat bun from her home for Xia Ruzheng to eat: "I took this without my husband's knowledge. Don't worry, I know exactly how many buns there are at home, and he might not remember! If he finds out, just say I ate it!"
Xia Ruzheng couldn't refuse such a straightforward person. He took the steaming hot bun and took a bite. He immediately felt that it was indeed a craftsmanship from the north. The dough was very chewy and the meat filling inside was also fragrant. It was really delicious.
Xia Ruzheng can also make buns, but her buns are very delicate. She makes things like crystal buns and soup dumplings, which are purely for the taste. It is impossible for her to make something that will fill people up.
"Nier, it's delicious! Your cooking skills are so good, it makes no sense that your business wouldn't be booming!"
Tian Nier smiled and said, "I chopped the stuffing, and my husband kneaded the dough. He's very strong, so he kneads it well. It's just that good wheat flour is hard to find here. If we had it back home, the buns would be even more fragrant and delicious!"
