Wan Feng is very familiar with the location of this store because he was the one who chose this address.
There are five main rooms and two side rooms in the east and west.
The foundation of the main house was raised about half a meter, making it appear much higher than the left and right wing rooms.
The bluestone reaches the bottom and the red bricks reach the top, and the roof is covered with gray tiles.
The six windows are quite grand.
There is a wall in front of the yard, facing the township government, with a gate in the middle and a shop building to the right of the gate.
The name of the store was obviously taken from the character Gui in Zhan Honggui's name and the character Zhi in An Lizhi's name, thus becoming Guizhi Store.
"Isn't Zhan Honggui your safekeeper at the dock? Can he be at home now?" Han Guangjia seemed to remember something when the jeep stopped in front of the store.
"At home. It rained heavily here the past two days. The river was flooded and the boat had to stop for two days. He went home."
Wan Feng gave the driver two boxes of Osmanthus cigarettes and asked him to drive the car back, telling Zhu Guoxiong that he would not be going back today.
After sending the driver away, Wan Feng and Han Guangjia walked into the store.
The store doesn't look big from the outside, but it is very spacious inside. A large group of college students and elementary school students are noisily shopping inside.
There was a row of chairs against the south wall, and four or five young men were drinking beer.
At the counter, An Lizhi and her daughter Zhan Ling were busy working, but they didn't see Zhan Honggui.
Wan Feng and Han Guangjia did not disturb An Lizhi from selling goods, but sat quietly on the bench by the door.
The things the students bought were very targeted, including learning supplies and some snacks.
The students who bought snacks were relatively few, most of them bought candies or bubble gums that cost one or two cents each.
Relatively more people buy school supplies, such as exercise books, pencils, erasers, triangles and so on.
The get out of class was over in ten minutes, so the students left in a hurry after buying their things, and the hustle and bustle in the store was over in a few minutes.
At this time, Zhan Ling, who was about to go to school, saw Wan Feng first.
"Uncle Wan is here." The little girl exclaimed in surprise.
"Where are they?" An Lizhi looked up and saw Wan Feng and Han Guangjia sitting on the chairs.
"Brother Wan is here, why didn't you say anything? When did you get here?"
"Just arrived a while ago, where's Brother Zhan?"
"I went to the county town to buy supplies."
It's such a bad coincidence that you came here.
"Sister-in-law, how are you doing now?"
"Very good, very good. This is all thanks to you, brother. If you hadn't come here last year, our family would probably still be broke."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that. This has nothing to do with me. It's because you are unwilling to live in poverty. There are opportunities to get rich everywhere now. As long as you are not lazy and are willing to work hard, your life will always get better."
"That's true, but there's also a chance that someone of noble standing will help you. Without your help, your brother and I would have worked ourselves to death and still not be where we are now."
Obviously, An Lizhi is very satisfied with her current life.
Zhan Honggui’s house started to be built at the end of March, and it has been completed in less than a month.
After the house was built, Angelica opened the store immediately.
It cost more than 7,000 yuan to build the house and open the store.
Last year, all the more than 5,000 yuan that Wan Feng earned from soybeans and the money from selling the house were spent.
But because they were facing two students, the business was very prosperous and they made more than 2,000 yuan in the first month of opening. In addition, Zhan Honggui earned 200 yuan a month from counting goods for Wan Feng at Fuyuan Wharf. Their life was full of sunshine and hope.
Zhan Ling studied in the primary school across the street, and after class she would return to the store to help An Lizhi sell goods.
Zhan Shitou also started elementary school last September, but don’t expect him to help sell goods. He almost never comes home after class and just hangs around with his classmates in school.
"Sister-in-law, now that the store is open, the next step is to go in the direction of wholesale. In a few years, every village will have a small store. Let Brother Zhan buy a car to deliver goods to the small stores, and he can make a lot of money."
"Buying a car? I can't even think about it now."
"Buying a tricycle for four or five thousand is not too much."
"Let's wait a couple of years before we consider this. We're building a house and opening a shop now, and the money is too much to turn around."
Wan Feng and Han Guangjia arrived at around 1:30 in the afternoon and sat there until after 3 o'clock when the four-wheeled vehicle hired by Zhan Honggui finally returned from the county town with the goods.
Seeing Wan Feng coming, Zhan Honggui was so happy that he almost spread his wings and flew away.
"Brother, take a break. Xiao Linzi and I will take care of it. How can I let you do it if you come here?"
"Your thing isn't heavy, so just consider it a workout."
With the help of Wan Feng and Han Guangjia, a whole truck of goods was moved into the store in just over ten minutes.
"Mom, go to the market and buy some vegetables. Cook a few more dishes. The three of us will have a drink tonight."
An Lizhi agreed and went out to buy groceries.
Wan Feng chatted while helping Zhan Honggui load the goods.
"Brother Zhan, are you used to staying at the dock?"
"It's a habit. Although I'm busy, I'm not tired either. Every time I load a truck, I count the numbers. It's like playing."
"Is there a lot of cargo coming into Fuyuan Port this year?"
"This year, more cargo is coming in than last year. We can add about 400 tons a day, so we can get more than 800 tons a day. We have added an extra shift of stevedores this year, otherwise we wouldn't be able to unload the ship at all."
Unexpectedly, there is more steel at Fuyuan Wharf. No wonder the military paid a lot more this year than last year.
Wan Feng gave the army a bargain price, so he still made a profit of two to three hundred yuan per ton of steel.
The monthly profit is around five to six million.
Compared with the hundreds of millions of profits he made from Heihe every month, Wan Feng didn't care about this little profit at all.
"The port will be closed at the end of this year, and this business will also come to a halt."
"Why did it stop?"
"It's closed over there, but it will be open again in three or four years."
They chatted and worked at the same time. After a while, all the goods brought back by Zhan Honggui, except those put on the shelves, were put into the warehouse.
At this time, Zhan Honggui's two children also came back from school.
Zhan Shitou's face was still dark and his body was dirty.
His greatest improvement was that he knew he was dirty, so he didn't rush towards Wan Feng. Instead, he stood not far away and called out "Hello, Uncle Wan" shyly.
Wan Feng reached out and touched his head twice: "Now that you have your own store, you don't need Uncle Wan to take you to buy good food anymore."
Zhan Shitou smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, go do your homework with your sister, and then play after you finish your homework." Zhan Honggui showed the dignity of the head of the family.
"Uncle Wan, I'm going to do my homework."
"Go ahead, study hard, and get into university to show Uncle Wan off."
"Uncle Wan, have you ever been to college?"
The smile on someone's face froze for a moment.
What's wrong with this kid? His words are so irritating!
Isn't this just bringing up something that has nothing to do with the topic?
Han Guangjia laughed.
Judging from his laughter, this guy has a talent for being a duck.
