"Then let's open an arcade!" Liu Feng suggested.
In the 1990s, opening an arcade was almost a sure-fire way to make money and get rich.
"If you'd like, I'll take you to see it tomorrow," Liu Feng said confidently.
"I know nothing about arcades, what should I do?" Liu Xing looked troubled and was full of confusion.
"Fourth brother, do you have any good suggestions?" Xia Guihua seemed even more eager, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Don't worry," Liu Feng reassured him, "Since I've proposed opening an arcade, I'm sure you'll be able to run it well and making money won't be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Fang Shuxiang immediately beamed with joy: "Good, good, Xiao Si is really capable. Your eldest grandson will listen to Xiao Si."
After chatting for a while, Liu Feng returned home.
That evening, he received a call from Uncle Zhang, informing him that Zhao Dong's evil deeds had finally been exposed and that he would face life imprisonment or the death penalty.
Meanwhile, Uncle Zhang had quietly purchased the arcade and three surrounding properties and was making intensive preparations for the renovation.
With Uncle Zhang's generous offer of money, the homeowner readily vacated the premises that very day.
In Liu Feng's plan.
With this arcade, the eldest brother and sister-in-law can stay here, which not only solves the livelihood problem for the Liu family.
She can also take care of Liu Yue, Liu Xiaoling, and Yu Jingya, who are in junior high school.
Normally, if any of the three girls encounter any problems, their eldest brother, Liu Xingman, can always help them out.
Even when it rains, there's still a place to stay.
The following afternoon, under the bright sunshine, Liu Feng led everyone to the arcade.
Before leaving, Liu Feng distributed the remaining spicy strips to everyone.
He Qunfang showed particular favor to Yu Jingya, holding her hand and giving her a red envelope.
Fortunately, Liu Feng is still a child and is in school.
Otherwise, judging from He Qunfang's attitude, if Liu Feng were a little older, she would want to take charge and handle things herself!
Liu Feng scratched his head, secretly smiling bitterly, and silently thought to himself, "Mom, I've already made arrangements for Jingya's matter privately, so please don't cause any more trouble."
Upon arriving at the arcade, I found the scene already bustling with activity as it was being cleaned up.
Uncle Zhang's appointed person in charge, Brother Wang, is on high alert, waiting for the renovation team to arrive.
Liu Feng introduced his elder brother Liu Xingman to Brother Wang and made it clear that all the renovations had to meet the standards of the city's top arcades. He also instructed Liu Xingman to learn from him and prepare for taking over the business.
The group moved between the three properties until the sun set.
Liu Feng treated everyone to a meal.
During the gathering, Liu Xingman expressed his anticipation for the upcoming arcade.
After the meal, Liu Feng glanced at Yu Jingya and Liu Yue before bidding farewell to everyone.
...
In the blink of an eye, a week later, the small town of Wenshu Township was bustling with activity.
Liu Xingman's new arcade has finally been renovated and the business license and other procedures have been completed. Today is the auspicious day for its official opening.
Upon hearing the news, villagers flocked to the event, creating a lively scene.
Stepping into the arcade, you are greeted by bright lights and colorful decorations.
The walls are covered with murals featuring various cartoon characters and game themes, exuding a youthful vibe.
The floor is made of shiny, non-slip tiles that reflect the light, making you feel as if you are in a colorful world when you walk on it.
This little street is quite fashionable.
In the center of the arcade, rows of brand-new arcade machines were set up, each one flashing with dazzling neon lights.
In the corner next to them were several classic arcade machines with red buttons and joysticks, and many children were already eagerly gathered around them, playing fiercely.
The arcade not only had arcade machines, but also several brand-new pool tables covered with green velvet cloth, with cues and equipment neatly arranged.
In one corner by the window, there are several popular claw machines. The transparent glass cabinets are filled with all kinds of cute plush toys, making people want to try to grab a few to take home.
These game consoles were specially purchased from Panyu District in Guangzhou by someone arranged by Uncle Zhang; they are currently the most popular new game consoles on the market.
Xia Guihua was busy and happy. She greeted the guests with a smile and took special care of the three little girls, Liu Yue, Liu Xiaoling and Yu Jingya.
She led them around to the various arcade machines, giving them a general introduction to how to play each one.
"Xiaoling, Jingya, this is the latest racing game, do you want to try it?" She pointed to a racing game machine, the wheel models were almost identical to real cars, making people look forward to it.
Xia Guihua had just learned how to play this game and found it very fun, so she recommended it to three girls.
Liu Yue and Yu Jingya were drawn over and excitedly sat in the driver's seat, as if they were really race car drivers on the track.
Liu Xiaoling was drawn to the music rhythm game next to her and started tapping the buttons on the screen in time with the rhythm, occasionally letting out a cheerful laugh.
Grandpa Liu and Grandma Fang Shuxiang also came over. Seeing the lively scene, the two old people had smiles on their faces.
Fang Shuxiang had never seen such a lively scene. Looking at her grandson's thriving arcade, she couldn't stop smiling: "Xingman, this child, has finally done something decent. We have to thank Xiao Si for this." The grandfather nodded beside her, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Looking at the bustling arcade, Liu Xingman felt a great sense of accomplishment.
He walked up to his grandparents and said with a smile, "Grandpa and Grandma, if you want to play anything, just tell me and I'll teach you."
Grandpa waved his hand with a smile: "I just wanted to see you busy and have some fun, so your grandma came to join in the fun." Grandma then took Xia Guihua's hand and praised her repeatedly: "Guihua, you've worked hard too, taking such good care of this place."
Xia Guihua smiled and said, "Grandma, this is all I should do. I'm just glad you and Grandpa are happy today."
The arcade was filled with the laughter of children and the music from the game machines. For Liu Xingman's family, this was not just the opening of an arcade, but also a sign that they had put down roots in the village.
The beginning of a new life.
...
Recently, Liu Feng no longer needs to bring spicy snacks when he goes home.
Because spicy strips are sold everywhere, you can buy them whenever you want.
Both the elderly and children love to eat it.
At school gates or on the way home from school, you can see students everywhere eating spicy snacks, or sharing a bag among several people.
Furthermore, there are increasingly more ways to eat spicy strips.
Instant noodles with spicy strips.
Spicy strips can be eaten as a side dish with rice.
besides:
Spicy flakes wrap around crisp cucumber, which not only cuts through the richness but also adds layers of texture.
Adding spicy strips to Jianbing Guozi makes the overall taste of Jianbing more complex and chewy, turning it into a unique snack.
Spicy strips are becoming increasingly popular, and there are more and more ways to eat them, which completely surprised Uncle Zhang.
He is constantly expanding his spicy snack workshop, adding production lines, and strictly controlling product quality, keeping him busy all day long.
A large food processing plant is under construction on a plot of land acquired from the county government and is expected to be completed by the Spring Festival.
Then, we can move the spicy snack workshop inside.
