Chapter 139: Rebuilding after the explosion
Chen Chunmiao has been arrested and will not be released back to Huaxi Brigade. There should be no one as crazy as Chen Chunmiao in Huaxi Brigade.
But after experiencing this incident, Shen Jintao did not dare to let her guard down. After all, there was still Xie Lanzhi. It would be hard to say what would happen if she went crazy. Anyway, judging from the attitudes of Shen Jianguo and others, they did not care about Shen Chunmiao's affairs at all. Only Xie Lanzhi was sad.
Liu Guifen also stayed in the hospital for three days. If she really didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer, Shen Jintao and Huo Beichuan would have asked her to observe for a while longer.
Concussions can be serious or minor.
However, Liu Guifen really couldn't stay any longer. She had to stay in the hospital, and Huo Chenggong also had to stay there, which was quite troublesome and delayed things. Their daughter also had to deliver meals to them at mealtime, and the state-owned restaurant was already very busy.
In fact, Huo Nanxi really wanted to say that state-owned restaurants are really not very busy. I don’t know why, but the business of state-owned restaurants has not been very good since 1977. Fortunately, there are no other private restaurants now, otherwise they would have closed down long ago.
It is said that the situation of their state-owned restaurant is very good, also because Chef Zhuang and her cooking skills are very good. State-owned restaurants in many places are really deserted.
There are more small vendors this year, and no one is in charge. Even if Hongxiu encounters one, they will just turn a blind eye. Many things can be bought outside, and many people still prefer to go home and make them themselves.
After all, you spend money to eat in a state-owned restaurant and have to face the ugly faces of the staff. You spend a lot of money but don’t even get basic respect.
It’s better to buy some ingredients and cook it yourself, and eat it however you want.
There are also some small vendors selling snacks. As long as they are not too excessive, no one will care. After all, jobs are scarce. Now that the college entrance examination has been announced to be resumed, a large number of educated youth will return to the city, and jobs will be a big problem. If some unemployed vagrants can find a way out on their own, the higher-ups will be happy to see it happen.
Chen Jintao was also eager to try. After returning to Yunnan Province, she went out for a few walks. Every time she went, she could see people buying small things. Some were snacks like homemade fried melon seeds, and some were small hairpins brought back from Guangzhou. Their business was very good.
Since she would have to stay at home for a while anyway, Chen Jintao thought it would be a good idea to find something to do. Although she would definitely leave Yunnan Province and return to the army in the future, if she could really make the business successful, she could hand it over to her mother or her uncles and aunts.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
As long as I can set up the stall, I don’t have to worry about them having a bad life.
So, Shen Jintao spent the whole morning tinkering in the kitchen.
Hearing the crackling sounds coming from inside, Liu Guifen looked over several times.
"Is Taozi going to blow up the kitchen?"
Huo Beichuan was playing with his daughter. Hearing this, he said calmly, "If it explodes, we'll rebuild it."
Liu Guifen: …
You are really my good son!
"What a smell, sweet and fragrant!"
Huo Dongsheng was originally reviewing, but suddenly an indescribable fragrance entered his nose. He could no longer concentrate on studying, so he pulled Shen Jidong, who was still concentrating on solving problems, out of the study room.
That’s right, these two now have their own study rooms. In order for them to study well, the Shen family and the Huo family each set up a study room. Sometimes they study at the Shen family, and sometimes at the Huo family. Anyway, they are together.
The main reason is that Huo Dongsheng has fallen behind in many of his studies, and instead needs the help of his little brother Shen Jidong.
Xu Xuemei has not gone out to work during this period. Her grandson and granddaughter come back with great difficulty. She is so happy that she naturally sticks with the children every day.
"Maybe Taozi is making something delicious." She didn't care. Her daughter was smart and she might be making something delicious for the children to satisfy their hunger. She often did this after she came back. It was nothing strange.
Finally, the true face of what Chen Jintao was tinkering with was revealed.
Looking at the fluffy little balls, white with a hint of yellow, I really can't figure out what they are.
The whole family gathered together, guessing what this thing was made of. Chen Jintao smiled and said nothing, letting them guess.
In the end, Liu Guifen said that it seemed like there was a faint scent of corn, but she was not very sure.
Chen Jintao said there was nothing wrong!
One of them was not paying attention. Erbao quickly grabbed a handful of popcorn from the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, while his other hand was still stuffing popcorn into Dabao's mouth.
Chen Jintao didn't even have time to say be careful about the heat, but the two children enjoyed the meal, which tasted so sweet they had never tasted before, that they were reluctant to spit it out even though it was a little hot.
Shen Jintao was also at a loss for words, and called out to the others, "You all try this."
Huo Beichuan was the first one to put popcorn into his mouth. He had great confidence in his wife's cooking skills.
“So sweet!”
The moment he took a bite, Huo Beichuan frowned, he didn't like sweets very much.
"Do you think it tastes good?" Shen Jintao asked.
Huo Beichuan nodded. "Although I don't like sweet things, I have to admit that this is very fragrant and sweet. Girls and children should like it."
So, everyone tried it, and without exception, they all thought it was delicious.
"Sister-in-law, you are really smart. You can always make all kinds of delicious food!"
Huo Dongsheng really admires his sister-in-law. He didn't think it was a big deal when they lived in the same village before, but after his sister-in-law came to their house, he felt that his sister-in-law was really amazing.
"What do you think will happen if we sell this?"
Shen Jintao asked with a smile.
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned. This was something they had not expected. They originally thought that Shen Jintao was just doing it for fun.
"This... this shouldn't be possible, right?" Liu Guifen frowned.
"Yes, haven't you noticed? Now many people have started to do small businesses secretly. Even if the people from the Revolutionary Committee saw it, they wouldn't say anything. What does this mean? It means that the trend of our country is about to change. In the future, the private economy will dominate."
Shen Jintao said with a smile.
Huo Beichuan's heart trembled, and he remembered that his wife said that in her previous life, she was the boss of a chain of restaurants, so...
If that were really the case, Huo Beichuan didn't dare to think about it. He knew too well how much impact such a policy would have on the country and the people.
"Is that so? What if it's not allowed later? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Liu Guifen was still very worried.
Now it was Huo Beichuan's turn to speak. Of course, he believed in his wife unconditionally.
"Don't worry about that. I've heard the rumors. Jin Tao is right."
