"Okay!"
Maybe there are not many customers on weekdays, so when the old man heard that they wanted his specialty, he excitedly went into the kitchen, and soon the sound of cutting vegetables was heard.
"We can't be impatient now. We need to take things step by step. We have already laid a very stable foundation. Now we just need to do business for a while and see if we can make the company a little bigger."
"As for the real estate we are cooperating on, let it make money now, but I will ask you to stop at a certain time."
Real estate has not been easy to do in recent years, and some people have speculated in real estate and ended up losing everything.
Shen Youran knows some of the trajectories of this era and will remind them to stop when the time is right.
"Of course," both of them nodded, "We will definitely stop if you say so. We are not very smart. Now that you have said so, we can't delay any longer."
Looking at their serious expressions, Shen Youran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I feel like I'm brainwashing you two."
"You have made so much money with us. If you want to stop, then stop now. Don't delay. After all, some people are very sensitive to business."
The two of them now trust Shen Youran 100%.
Shen Youran nodded after hearing this, and the three of them chatted for a few more words. The old man brought up all of his specialties.
"A braised fish, a set of sweet and sour pork belly, a mapo tofu, a stir-fried vegetable, and finally a pickled cabbage and red bean soup!"
The old man looked to be in his 60s, with grey hair and clean clothes.
After introducing it to them, the old lady brought the bowls and chopsticks over and said, "Try it."
The three of them picked up their chopsticks and tasted it. The braised fish tasted very good.
The sweet and sour spareribs taste even better and are very authentic.
"Uncle and Auntie are not from here. I feel like your cooking skills are not like those of the locals!" Shen Youran admitted that the old man's cooking skills were better than hers, because she used the freshest vegetables and spring water in the space when cooking.
But they use the most common vegetables to create delicious flavors.
"We are not from here, but our son and daughter-in-law both work here, so we wanted to come here to help take care of our grandson."
At this point, the old lady's eyes dimmed slightly, and a trace of bitterness appeared at the corners of her mouth. "After all, there is a generation gap between the two generations. We can't take care of the children, and we don't want to go back to our hometown, so we thought about opening a small restaurant here."
Shen Youran and the other three understood as soon as they heard it, and asked questions while eating.
"Why is it opened in such a remote place? With your skills, if it were outside on the roadside, the business would definitely be booming!"
It's a shame that such a delicious little restaurant has not been discovered.
"There are quite a few people eating here now. The two of us can keep busy every day and make some money."
"The rent outside is a little high, so it's also good for us to do some small business in this alley." After the two old people finished speaking, they let Shen Youran and the others eat first.
The three of them ate up all the dishes on the table. Wang Xiuping touched her stomach and said, "I can't remember when I ate so deliciously."
"It was about two months ago. I remember that Youran invited us over for a meal. After that, we were busy with work. She also had something to do in the army, and then she went on a mission!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuping picked up the chopsticks and ate the last piece of braised fish in the bowl.
"Then I must give my stomach a good treat!"
Mo Xiaoyun and Shen Youran laughed out loud. After dinner, it was time for them to go back and say goodbye to the old man and the old lady. They put the money for the meal under their water cups.
On the way out, the three of them smiled at each other.
Everyone was given two extra reds.
Although they can't do anything big, they can still give a little kindness and hope that the lives of the two elderly people will get better and better.
"The weekend is in two days. I'm going to come to the store on Friday. I'll prepare all the dishes by then. Can we have a barbecue outside?"
"Should we stay outside tonight and watch the stars? I heard it's really fun to watch the stars while camping!"
"Then we have to have a barbecue. Our group of naughty monkeys are all greedy little cats. They always stay at Youran's house!"
"It's been a long time since I came out to relax. Let's have a barbecue. I'll prepare the ingredients then."
The three of them were already discussing the specific details, but Shen Youran took charge of all the ingredients.
"We'll prepare the food, and you just need to prepare some tents and toys."
Now the things in the space are very complicated, with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, as well as chickens, ducks, geese and fish.
When these things are taken out of the space, they will taste much better than what they buy on the street.
The BBQ taste could be better too.
"Okay, then we'll prepare the rest."
Mo Xiaoyun and Wang Xiuping didn't say anything more. The three of them went home carrying large and small bags of things.
As soon as they entered the gate of the family compound, someone saw the three of them.
"You Ran, you're finally back!"
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I heard that you went out today. Is there something important?"
The person who spoke was a military wife with a bright smile. Shen Youran stared at her eyes for a few seconds. She felt like she didn't seem to know this person?
"Liu Dahai's mother."
"I guess she came to you and told you that she wanted to do something with you. She came to me before, but I said I couldn't make the decision on this matter. I was just fooling her. Who knew she would find you!"
Wang Xiuping was a little unhappy. If she had known this would happen, she would have refused directly.
It's just that he has been doing business for a long time, and sometimes it's inevitable that he will be like this. When talking to others, he should not be too harsh. Who knows this old lady...
"Aunt Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?" After Shen Youran knew what was going on with Wang Xiuping, she smiled and walked forward.
If nothing else, she was the best at saying no.
"You Ran," Liu Xiufen stroked the hair beside her ear, "I heard from many people in the hospital that you helped them buy some nice houses and land, and made some money."
"Can you bring our family along too?"
Wang Xiufen suddenly started sobbing while speaking, wiping her tears with her hands, "You know how hard life was for our family. The soldier in our family was just an ordinary battalion commander in the army."
"Life is not that easy, and the salary is not particularly high. Our family of six squeezed into such a small house, it was really difficult."
