Chapter 59: This is a really good idea
Deng Xiuzhen first thought that Yao Huaying was impatient and had many ideas, and misunderstood that she was unwilling to be a partner.
When he got home and thought about it carefully, he felt that Yao Huaying might not want to be in partnership with him anymore and wanted to push the responsibility onto him, deliberately making trouble for him.
I felt somewhat unhappy, but then I thought it was a good thing not to cooperate with such people, so I persuaded myself.
There was no rush to open a shop, so there was no need to rent a house right away. She could wait for news from Tian Guoqiang. She settled down to cook.
She thought Yao Huaying would not come to her house for at least some time, but she didn't expect that as soon as she cooked a dish, Yao Huaying came over after smelling the fragrance.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Are you frying bacon again?"
"Well, there's some bacon at home, so I thought about frying it and eating it." Deng Xiuzhen didn't welcome Yao Huaying in her heart, but since she was living next door to her, she didn't want to turn against her.
"I want to discuss something with you. How much bacon do you have at home? Can you sell it all to me?" Yao Huaying stared at the bacon in the pot with such greedy look that it seemed like she was about to drool in the next second.
"Just a little bit, prepare it for yourself. There's really nothing for sale. If you like, I'll give you some to take back later."
"How can I feel so embarrassed?" Yao Huaying said politely, but her eyes were shining.
"It's okay, we're neighbors!" Deng Xiuzhen stir-fried the vegetables and turned down the heat. She turned around and took out a strip of bacon from the cupboard, cut it in half, put it in a bag and handed it to Yao Huaying.
Yao Huaying took it, smelled it and said, "This bacon is different from the bacon I usually eat. It doesn't have a smoky smell, but has a strong bacon aroma. The meat is shiny and translucent, which looks unusual. How do you make this bacon?"
"This method is simple, but the conditions are rather special. It requires slow smoking over a low fire for a long time." Deng Xiuzhen told everyone she knew everything. After all, smoked bacon is common in rural areas, and everyone knows about it. It is not a trade secret, so there is no need for her to hide it.
"Xiuzhen, actually, I'm not very good at doing business. I wanted to do business just to use your cooking as an excuse, not because I really wanted to do business. Later, when my husband and mother-in-law talked to me, I thought they were right, so I backed out. You won't blame me, right?" Yao Huaying was a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about? How could I blame you? We haven't opened a store yet, there's no investment, and no one is losing money. Why should I blame you? Right? Well, take it back and fry it, and don't think too much about it." Deng Xiuzhen said with a smile.
She wanted to say that she was also responsible for not vacating the house in time, but after thinking about what Yao Huaying said and did today, she decided not to take the blame on herself.
Although she was not clear about Yao Huaying's personality, she knew that there was a kind of person in this world who, as long as they found someone else's responsibility, would forget their own ninety-nine points of fault, and would hold on to someone else's responsibility, and even attribute all the faults to the other person, and even keep pestering them.
She felt that she needed to protect herself appropriately. As the old saying goes: You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
In the next few days, Deng Xiuzhen did not fry the bacon again, and Yao Huaying did not come over. Many people in the alley had almost completed the renovation of their houses and started to drag shelves or furniture into the houses.
The alley became lively with many people coming and going. Deng Xiuzhen also began to open her door and occasionally sit in front of it.
That day, she was sitting at the door folding clothes when Zhao Chunyan came over and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to open a clothing store? Why haven't you started construction yet?"
"I thought so at first, but then I felt that the alley was not suitable for selling clothes, so I gave up." Deng Xiuzhen stood up holding the clothes.
“Yes, the alley is narrow and relatively remote. And from what everyone thinks, it seems that they are planning to do some small commodity wholesale and retail business.
Most of the people who come in are people who come to buy goods from the village, or people who buy daily necessities, and generally no one comes in to buy clothes." Zhao Chunyan analyzed.
Deng Xiuzhen listened and felt the same way. She felt that their relationship had become closer. She asked Zhao Chunyan to wait a moment and turned inside. She took out the half piece of bacon that was left over from Yao Huaying last time and handed it to Zhao Chunyan.
"This, this I can't take." Zhao Chunyan waved her hands and walked towards home.
"I made it myself. You can try it. If it tastes good, we can make it together at the end of the year." Deng Xiuzhen followed behind, carrying the bacon.
"Since you are so polite, I will accept it. I am so sorry!" Zhao Chunyan turned around to accept it, picked up the bacon and looked at it, and asked Deng Xiuzhen: "Have you decided what to do with it?"
Deng Xiuzhen shook her head.
"If you haven't thought it through, I'll just give you a suggestion. It's my personal opinion, just for your reference. If it's not right, don't take it personally."
Deng Xiuzhen quickly expressed her attitude politely and thanked her.
Zhao Chunyan brought Deng Xiuzhen to her home. Looking at the neatly arranged tables and chairs, Deng Xiuzhen realized: Zhao Chunyan was a teacher and was preparing to give the children extra lessons.
Zhao Chunyan put the bacon in the cabinet at the back and said to Deng Xiuzhen, “I plan to open a small cram school here.
Your house is not big, so it is difficult to do other business, but you can open a stationery store and sell some school supplies. School supplies do not require too much space, so your store is suitable for them. "
Deng Xiuzhen's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. It would be a hundred times more suitable to open a stationery store here than a clothing store.
The bacon was really worth it, in return I got such good advice!
Deng Xiuzhen thanked Zhao Chunyan repeatedly, saying that her idea was a thousand times better, ten thousand times better.
Zhao Chunyan smiled and said, "It's fine if you think it's good. But before it's opened, try not to tell anyone. If someone else opens it first, it will have an impact."
Deng Xiuzhen nodded repeatedly.
When I got home, the more I thought about it, the better the idea became.
If I want to open a store quickly, then I’ll have to worry about where to live.
She didn't dare to rent a house now. Tian Guoqiang told her not to run around for the time being. He could tell that it was for her safety.
Having finally been reborn, she values her life very much and will never go out alone until the crisis is resolved.
When I got to the door and looked around, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Old Man Zhao for a long time. He hadn't come back since he went to Kyoto in the first month of the year.
What was he doing there? Why did he stay in Kyoto for so long? Can he live in his house? If not, can he borrow it for a while?
I'm afraid it's not possible. After all, Old Man Zhao hasn't come back yet. If I want to stay here, I don't know who to tell.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Tian Guoqiang walking quickly from afar. He walked past her and walked directly to her house, saying with a smile on his face, "Good news, great news!"
"Is the case solved?" Deng Xiuzhen asked hesitantly.
"Yes, it's broken!" Tian Guoqiang's voice was full of excitement. He was actually a person who could control his emotions very well. In daily life, big or small, in big or small occasions, he could keep his emotions under control.
But this time, he was so happy that he could hardly control himself and was eager to tell Deng Xiuzhen, the key person in solving the case.
