Gao Mingcheng is entertaining guests, and many beauties are also entertaining guests.
The eldest and second sisters have been sent back by Gao Ming's all-purpose truck, but the third sister Manyu Yue and her husband have not left yet and are now talking at the clothing store.
Other guests who came to drink only gave gifts of money, but many of them also gave a lot of pickled vegetables in addition to gifts of money.
These pickled vegetables are packed in various canning bottles, including vegetable stems, grapefruit peels, spicy radish strips, fermented tofu, and chopped pepper pickles.
Manyue smiled and said, "I plan to make pickled mustard greens in a few days. I'll send you some then. The pickled mustard greens I make are very fragrant!"
"Thanks to my brother-in-law for lending me money to set up a stall, I now set up a stall every market day and business is booming! I estimate that after the Chinese New Year, I can return the money to you."
The smiles on many moons' faces and the twinkling light in their eyes are hopes for future life.
Not only did she express her gratitude, but He Zhigang also expressed his gratitude.
After he lost his job, he thought the sky had fallen, but fortunately there is always a way out. After many months of selling rice noodles and various pickled vegetables at a stall, his family earned more money than his salary.
This made him taste the sweetness of doing business, and he even started thinking about renting a storefront.
Although setting up a stall is fun, setting up and closing the stall is also very tiring.
Xuanmei was happy for her when she heard that her third sister's business was doing well. She also heard that her third brother-in-law was planning to rent a storefront.
So she said, "Renting a storefront is also a good thing. With a storefront, people will feel more relaxed. Let's put it this way. Don't rush to pay back the money you borrowed from us. Use it to rent a storefront first, and then pay it back when you earn more."
"By the way, are there many people selling clothes in the market? You can also consider setting up a stall to sell clothes. There is a clothing workshop in Gaojia Village. Some of the clothes in my store are purchased from there. If you also want to sell clothes, I will talk to Aunt Feixia and ask her to give you a discount."
Manyue thought about the situation at the market, and then said, "There are people selling clothes, but since there is a channel to purchase goods, I want to give it a try, just in case I can't sell them..."
Xuanyuemei said, "It's not that they can't be sold. If you don't know how to choose the style, just let Aunt Feixia choose for you. She will definitely know which ones will sell well! The Chinese New Year is only two months away. Before the Chinese New Year, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to buy new clothes."
Manyue was deeply moved after hearing these words, so she looked up at He Zhigang beside her.
He Zhigang didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "Then let's sell clothes! When I get back, I'll rent a storefront. You can work in the storefront and let my mother help you. I'll set up a stall to sell clothes!"
He Zhigang used to work in a cooperative, and then he set up a snack stall for many months. Now he is selling clothes by himself, and he is not afraid.
Instead, I feel warm in my heart.
My fourth sister and her husband can make such a fortune by selling clothes, so selling clothes must be profitable!
He has decided to do this business!
"Then I wish you a prosperous business!" Xuanyuemei said with a smile.
After finishing the business, everyone started talking about other topics. At half past two, He Zhigang stood up and said, "Fourth sister, Duoyue and I should leave. There is a bus at three o'clock in the afternoon. We should go early and wait for it."
People can wait for the bus, but the bus doesn’t wait for anyone!
If you miss it, you won’t be able to go home until tomorrow.
This time, in order to make it easier to go out, they didn't bring their children. If they didn't go back home at night, the children at home would make a fuss again.
Besides, there are still a lot of things to do at home.
Xuanyue stood up and prepared to send them to the place where they were waiting for the bus. She also took out a red envelope and handed it to Xuanyue.
"This is a red envelope for my nephew. Even though he didn't come, I still have to give him the red envelope."
This red envelope is made by rolling up the money with red cloth, tying it with a long red cloth strip, and then draping it over the shoulders. It is called "Pihong", which means blessing.
Therefore, he did not refuse for many months and accepted it on behalf of his son.
After seeing off her third sister and her husband, Xuanyuemei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the pickled vegetables her third sister brought her, and selected the stems and heads of vegetables, preparing to take them to her new home in the evening to eat with porridge in the morning.
Gao Mingcheng liked these two dishes very much, so she took them to her new home. As for the others, she left them here for everyone to eat together.
Gao Shufang also likes to eat vegetable stems. She said: "The vegetable stems cooked by my mother are also delicious. In the past, she would make a big jar of it. Then when she had porridge in the morning, she would put a few pieces of vegetable stems in it and eat them. They were very delicious when chewed! But my mother was not careful and put a lot of old vegetable stems in it. After chewing, there was only residue in her mouth."
As she spoke, Gao Shufang started to complain.
The vegetable stems are made from the stems of mustard greens and are a kind of pickled vegetable that is commonly eaten here.
Hu Yinchen said: "I can also make this, and it tastes great! When making this dish, it's best to add a little bit of sugar, so that it tastes more refreshing!"
Gao Shufang nodded and said in agreement: "When my family was poor, my mother didn't put sugar in it. Later, she added sugar and it tasted better."
"Since you like to eat it, I will go to the market tomorrow to buy some vegetable stems and make a big jar for you!" Hu Yinchen said with a smile, feeling happy that she could show off her cooking skills.
Many of the beauties immediately nodded in agreement. Gao Mingcheng liked to eat this kind of crispy side dish, but he was not very good at making it, and he did not have time to learn how to make it now.
The women here were talking about family matters and daily necessities, while the men over there were sitting in the brand new living room playing cards.
Gao Mingcheng's card skills can only be considered average, after all, he doesn't play cards normally. But thanks to the two pieces of gold foil, not only has his physical fitness become stronger, but his five senses have also become stronger. He can calculate the cards in other people's hands through their micro-expressions and the cards in his own hand.
During the game of cards, he let the cards go when he should, won when he should, and built bridges when he should, and the whole atmosphere was full of joy.
And through observation, he discovered an interesting phenomenon.
Playing cards is actually a form of entertainment that has existed since ancient times, but the rules vary from place to place.
But there are elements of skill and gambling involved.
Some people play cards just for entertainment and relaxation, so they don’t count the cards and play them as they please. Winning or losing is purely a matter of luck!
But when some people play cards, they will deliberately count the cards, observe the emotional changes of their opponents, and test them with words.
People like this, who are confident that they have the skills and can win, don't like to play cards without stakes. They will say how much money they want to bet on a single game of poker.
There are also rules for how much money you play. If you play a game for a few cents or dimes, then it is entertainment, but if you play a game for a few dollars or dozens of dollars, then it is gambling!
The people present were all of high status, so they naturally could not break the law, so they gave him a dime. (End of this chapter)
