Chapter 303 Eating Hot Pot

"No. I'm talking about the small courtyard you found rented by Xixi. Go over and take a look, maybe she's there." Zhang Wenbi didn't want to say it at first, because she was worried that her son-in-law would have an opinion if she said it. After all, her daughter was pregnant and chasing after another man. No man could stand it.

The three cowboys nodded in a rare good mood: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look."

He stood up and went out, his back looking a little lonely.

This also made Zhang Wenbi feel more sympathetic towards her son-in-law.

Unfortunately, she didn't see that as soon as the three cowboys left the breakfast shop, a smile appeared on their faces.

Did Lu Yunqian go looking for that pretty boy again?

Interesting, she really doesn't think of herself as a man! Perhaps, he should teach her a lesson. After all, he is the victim and has made it clear in front of his mother-in-law. If he accidentally hurts the other party in his "sadness", it is reasonable, right?

Huang Xinran distributed the gifts he brought back to everyone.

Naturally, many people thanked him.

Huang Xinran sat for a while and then went to the market to buy some vegetables. He had told the three cowboys to come over for dinner. Regardless of whether they would come or not, he had to buy the vegetables.

When she actually went to the farmers' market, she didn't know what to eat. After thinking about it, she decided to buy some vegetables and cook them in hot pot tonight.

When eating hot pot, you have to eat a lot of dishes, so Huang Xinran bought a lot of dishes.

The area in the family courtyard was too small to move around, so she brought the dishes to the breakfast shop, where there were tables and chairs, so she was not afraid of more people coming.

Lu Yunchen came back in the evening. When he came back, the three cowboys had not arrived yet.

Since they were having hot pot, Huang Xinran also joined the breakfast vendors. Except for Master Wu who was anxious to go home to take care of his sick mother, everyone else stayed.

Tonight's hot pot was divided into two pot bases.

Huang Xinran made a big pot of hot pot soup base at once. After eating it once, you can still eat it for several more meals.

While they were washing and cutting, Yaya and Maomao were listening to the laughter and looking at their unfinished homework, feeling itchy in their hearts. After they finally finished their homework, they quickly packed up and came over to help.

They only started to take action after Liu Zhaodi came over with several shop assistants from the small commodity shop who were packing up their stalls.

To make hot pot, it needs to be crowded and lively, so that it tastes good.

The red oil in the pot was bubbling, and everyone started to eat at once, putting various vegetables into the pot to boil, and pairing them with freshly ground soy milk and wine. It tasted so delicious.

"Hmm, this soy milk... tastes really good. Sister Ran, how do you make this?" Someone was the first to notice that the soy milk prepared by Huang Xinran tasted different and was especially delicious, so he asked immediately.

"Is it delicious? I specially mixed it. If I sell this soy milk with the ingredients listed here in a breakfast shop for 60 cents a cup, will anyone buy it?"

"Impossible! How can soy milk be sold for 60 cents a cup? No one would buy it. It's too expensive!"

"This is not soy milk, it's soy milk. It's milk made from soy milk. I'll make it and try selling it someday."

Huang Xinran is a man who does what he says. Once he has made up his mind, no one can change his mind. Of course, no one objects to such a small matter. After all, if someone wants to buy it, then sell it. If no one wants to buy it, then forget it.

After talking about food, everyone started chatting and laughing and the topic turned to Treasury bonds.

In fact, the Treasury bonds have been issued for two years, and many people with spare money have bought them because of the high interest rates. However, many people are keeping a wait-and-see attitude.

The reason they brought up this issue was because it was brought up by Master Wu who left early to look after his mother.

Master Wu's mother was seriously ill, and the illness cost Master Wu a lot of money and emptied his pockets. In order to treat his mother, he set his sights on the treasury bonds he had purchased.

I would like to ask the people in the breakfast shops who is willing to buy it.

If the treasury bonds have not reached the redemption date, there is no way to get money out for emergencies. However, they can be exchanged for cash through private transactions.

For example, a 50-yuan treasury bond can be sold for about 42-45 yuan to a special collector, while a 100-yuan treasury bond can be sold for between 94-96 yuan.

As for why the 100-yuan treasury bills can fetch more money, no one knows. All we know is that the 100-yuan treasury bills can be exchanged for more money.

In fact, it is not cost-effective to sell treasury bonds to private individuals in exchange for money.

In fact, the country did not allow the circulation of treasury bonds during this period. However, if Master Wu was in urgent need of money, what else could he do but exchange treasury bonds for money to save his life?

Later, Master Dunzi spoke mysteriously, "Actually, I have another way. It is to deposit money with the Agricultural Depository and Credit Union for a fixed period of time. The interest rate is higher than that of treasury bonds. I have a way. Do you want to try it?"

Huang Xinran suddenly remembered that she had bought treasury bonds in her previous life, but she couldn't remember the exact year. She only remembered that after she made her first fortune, she spent half of her money on treasury bonds, intending to keep them for the future.

She deposited the other half in a fixed deposit at a rural credit union.

She remembered clearly that she bought a six-year automatic rollover fixed deposit with interest. That is to say, she deposited 500 yuan, and when it matured, it was automatically deposited for another 6 years. When she took it out at maturity, the principal of 200 yuan had become more than 600 yuan.

That seems like a lot of money, right?

In fact, the more than 600 yuan was a loss.

After all, the actual purchasing power of 200 yuan these days is amazing. And 12 years later, everyone has become wealthy and has left the era of 10,000 yuan households. It seems like 600 yuan can be spent just by flipping it around.

The more everyone discussed this, the more excited they became. Some even encouraged each other, saying that they wanted to learn from Master Wu and sell all their treasury bonds and exchange them for time deposits from rural credit cooperatives.

Huang Xinran couldn't help but coughed heavily: "Actually you don't have to do this. There is a saying that goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. You can just save some treasury bonds, and then save some in each bank. Put some in fixed deposits, and some in demand deposits. This will save you from not being able to take out the money when you need to spend it, which will waste time."

"Sister Ran is right. We really can't put all the eggs in the same basket. If the bank can't pay us back and goes bankrupt, we'll suffer a huge loss."

"You are afraid of everything. If you are really that scared, just leave it at home and don't worry about the money being unstable."

"It's not safe to keep it at home, and it's likely to be targeted by thieves..."

The conversation became more and more lively, and at this time, the three cowboys came over with Lu Yunqian.

Compared to the three cowboys who looked calm, Lu Yunqian lowered her head and said nothing. Looking at her complexion and the redness on her face, it was not difficult to tell what she had experienced before.
