After ordering ten dishes at the restaurant, he ran to the small market in Triangle to buy seafood.
There are not many buildings on this triangular piece of land west of Xiaoshutun Road except for a few factories.
Because this place will become a residential area in the future, but it has not been developed much yet.
But there is a small market here that has existed for two or three years.
The factory workers and residents of this generation nearby almost all buy their groceries here.
It is not difficult for these stall owners to earn a few thousand yuan a year.
Wan Feng has not been here many times, but that doesn't stop everyone here from knowing him.
As soon as he came, some people pulled his arms and others grabbed his legs, as if they were going to tear him into pieces.
Wan Feng bought ten kilograms of conch, ten kilograms of white clams, ten kilograms of sand clams, and ten kilograms of farmed shrimp. He had originally wanted to buy marine shrimp, but unfortunately they only had farmed shrimp and no marine shrimp.
You can just boil some water and pour it into a basin and eat it. It’s not a big deal.
After buying the seafood, I bought a case of beer, two bottles of white wine and two packs of cigarettes from the store.
After Wan Feng had bought all these things from the market, the chef at Han Guangjia Hotel had also prepared the dishes that Wan Feng wanted.
In order to save time, Wan Feng only wanted stir-fried dishes, which could be cooked in a pan. There was no time-consuming stewing or simmering.
The cooked dishes were brought back in plastic bags, and Aunt San put them on plates one by one.
While pretending, he said, "Hey kid, we are all family, why did you buy so many vegetables?"
"Auntie, what are you talking about? This is the first time my eldest brother and I have met, so it should be about the same. It can't be difficult. It can't be peanuts and wine. If I can't create a home atmosphere, I will take him to a restaurant."
Wan Shuiming carried the dining table to the kang and asked Wan Qianxiang to get on it.
At this time, the two little ones also came back from school. Not knowing Wan Qianxiang, they could only hide timidly behind Wan Feng.
"What are you afraid of! This is Big Brother, call me Big Brother!"
Wan Hongxia's eyes darted around: "Aren't you the eldest brother?"
"Haha! Now that he's here, I can only be the second brother. Do you remember the old man who spent the New Year at your house?"
The two little guys nodded.
"This is your uncle's son, you have to call him Big Brother. Alright! Come to the table and eat, then get out of here and go to school."
The table was set and the food was served.
Grandma sat in the seat of honor, followed by Wan Shuiming and Wan Feng, and below Wan Feng sat Wan Yan and Wan Hongxia.
Wan Qianxiang sat on grandma's left.
The old lady is still boiling water in the kitchen to fry the seafood, and it will take a while for it to come up.
"Brother! Do you want liquor or beer?"
"Why drink liquor in such hot weather? Just drink beer." Grandma said.
"Since grandma said so, let's have beer."
There was a large iron basin on the ground, filled with cold water from the well. More than ten bottles of beer were soaked in the cold water for more than ten minutes until they were ice cold.
Wan Feng filled everyone's bowl with wine.
"Uncle! Don't you want to say something?"
This is my uncle's house, so of course Wan Feng has to finish talking before he can speak.
"You can speak, so go ahead!"
"We are uncle and nephew, a family. If you don't tell me, I won't be polite."
Wan Feng picked up the bowl and said, "Brother! This is the first time we've met in over 20 years. Let's not talk too much. Let's have one first."
After thinking about it, he added, "The three of us."
Wan Shuiming laughed and picked up the wine bowl.
He drank a bowl of beer in one breath.
"Eat your food, eat your food, both of you, eat quickly and stop looking!"
These two little bastards were watching the adults drinking.
What's so special about this? Even if you want to drink it, you'll have to wait a few years.
"Brother! Uncle and aunt went back a long time ago. Why did you come only now? And why didn't you bring your sister-in-law and nephew with you?"
Wan Qianxiang took a bite of the dish and put down his chopsticks.
"Brother, when your uncle came back, he told me about the situation here. He said it was just like a city. So he asked me to come down and take a look. I was thinking about how to manage the land and come down during the slack season. Your sister-in-law has chickens, ducks, and three pigs at home, so she didn't come down because she was worried."
Wan Feng was a little depressed. What kind of colloquialism was this? Why did it sound so awkward to say "your uncle" all the time?
"Oh! Nephew, you should have come down and taken a look a long time ago. Didn't your father tell you everything about this place? Why are you still concerned about those few hours?"
"What else can you do if you don't farm?"
Wan Feng was sure that his uncle didn't explain what happened when he returned home.
"Brother! Let me ask you something. Are you planning to bring your whole family down here, or are you planning to continue staying in Arong Banner?"
My uncle originally meant that he didn't want to come down and wanted to do some business over there.
My aunt also meant the same thing.
My aunt is in Qiqihaer, and it's okay there, at least it's a big city with a population base.
But my uncle's family lived in the countryside of Arong Banner, so what could they do? It was close to Longjiang Province, and Wanfeng couldn't think of anything else to do besides farming.
"What your uncle means..."
"Brother! Just talk about my father. What you said sounds like an insult to your uncle."
The whole family burst into laughter, except for the two children who didn't laugh and looked at them in confusion.
"That's right! My father doesn't want to come down. He said he wants to do something over there."
Wan Feng shook his head: "Brother! Your father has a problem with his thinking. You must not listen to him. I know what's going on in your place without even going there. Even if I could get you a business there, the costs would be too high and there wouldn't be much profit."
Seeing Wan Qianxiang's puzzled look, Wan Feng began to explain: "You probably don't understand why the cost is so high. Your place belongs to Hulunbuir, right?"
Wan Qianxiang nodded.
"It's better to be closer to Qiqihar. If you set up a business there, the material costs alone would be too much. Unlike here, we have countless factories and an industrial market in Wahou. Whatever materials you need, you can get them right away. And the prices are guaranteed to be the cheapest in the north. This is our biggest advantage."
Wan Qianxiang thought it made sense and nodded continuously.
"Another issue is sales and transportation. If you can sell the product in your area, that's fine. If not, you have to find a way to ship it to other places for sale. The transportation cost is also a huge expense. If you have to deal with this, your product will have little profit."
Wan Qianxiang has never left their place called Sandaohe or Erdaohe since he was a child. He has never done anything else in his life except farming. How could he understand business?
"Big...Second brother! I'm full!" Wan Yan suddenly interrupted Wan Feng holding an empty bowl and looked at Wan Feng with a smile.
"Eat your fill and go to school! Why are you looking at me?"
Wan Yan didn't say anything, I just looked at you.
These two little guys have already grasped the pattern.
Wan Feng was so angry that he laughed. He pulled out two fifty-yuan bills from his pocket and gave one to each of them: "Get out of here this time!"
The two children cheered and rushed out.
