Chapter 150 I will follow your arrangements
"Everyone is busy visiting relatives at this time, so there are not so many people everywhere. We can take this opportunity to have some fun." Huo Beixi said.
Hua Xiali nodded, "You are right."
At that time, not many people were interested in traveling. During the Chinese New Year, everyone preferred to celebrate at home. Moreover, there were not many holidays, not even enough to visit relatives, so there really weren’t that many people traveling during the Chinese New Year.
After a while, Huo Beixi got up and went to the kitchen to cook. He knew that Hua Xiali would come tomorrow, so he made some dumplings and rice dumplings in advance, intending to eat them tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, Hua Xiali came early, so now was the perfect time to take out the food and eat it.
Hua Xiali sat on the sofa for a while and then smelled a pungent fragrance. He quickly stood up and ran over. "What are you doing? Why does it smell so good?"
Seeing the rice dumplings in the pot slowly turning from white to yellow, Hua Xiali was surprised, "You also know how to make rice dumplings?"
Huo Beixi nodded.
Hua Xiali was full of admiration, "I don't know how to wrap it."
She didn't know how to make such complicated rice dumplings, so she had always been thinking about this delicacy in her previous life. Although there were some in breakfast shops outside, their skin was thick and the fillings were small, not as filling as the ones she made.
But things are different now. At the end of January, she bought the ingredients and asked someone to fry a batch for her and stored them in the space. It was enough for her to eat for a while. Besides, Huo Beixi also knows how to make rice dumplings now. So, won’t she be able to eat them whenever she wants in the future?
The method of making rice dumplings is different from that of making water dumplings. She really doesn't know how to make them. It seems that she cooks the rice first and then beats it into a paste, which is much more troublesome than kneading the dough and rolling it out.
After Huo Beixi finished frying the dumplings, Hua Xiali quickly picked up a round dumpling with chopsticks, blew on it a few times, and then took a bite. The texture and taste of the dumplings he made were incomparable to those sold outside.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's hot." Huo Beixi reminded softly from the side.
Hua Xiali held the rice dumpling with chopsticks in one hand and held a rag under his chin in the other hand, for fear that the oil would drip everywhere. The freshly fried rice dumpling was delicious, crispy and fragrant. The soft dumpling skin inside mixed with the aroma of the filling was especially delicious. Eating just one was not enough. Hua Xiali ate four in one breath and almost ate too much.
Fried food can make you feel sick if you eat too much, so after the dumplings were cooked, Hua Xiali ate another half bowl of them.
After eating and drinking, they made two cups of tea and sat on the sofa, snuggling together. Looking at the empty space in front of them, Huo Beixi said, "Why don't we buy a TV and put it at home!"
Hua Xiali shook his head. "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer. We'll buy a better TV when it comes out. Besides, we're not sure where we'll live in the future. It would be a waste if we buy it too early. It won't be too late to buy it then."
Huo Beixi smiled gently, "Okay, then everything will be up to you."
After that, the two of them hugged each other and lay there, even though they hadn't seen each other for just a few days, in their minds, it seemed as if they hadn't seen each other for such a long time in their entire lives.
At night, one still sleeps in the bedroom and the other sleeps on the sofa. Even though they are in a relationship, there is a boundary that cannot be crossed.
The next morning, after eating dumplings at home, the two set out. They did not follow Huo Beixi's schedule because some of the places he wrote about were not suitable for this season. So Hua Xiali took Huo Beixi to the park because there was a pedestrian street near the park, so they went to have some fun.
After all, she wanted to buy two shops on the pedestrian street.
Although there is no pedestrian street here yet, there is a park and a large lake where you can row boats. Many people come here to play during holidays, and the customer flow is quite large. You can open a store here. Although you may not become rich, you can definitely make money slowly.
Today is only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are not many people in the park. However, there are stalls selling things, such as candied haws, roasted sweet potatoes, and fried chestnuts...
Having never experienced such fun before, Hua Xiali acted like a child, buying some food, looking here and there, and treating herself like a child all over again.
At this time, there was nothing in the park. Unlike the parks in my previous life, which had mini trains, Ferris wheels, carousels and other fun attractions, there were only things like slides at this time, but they looked a little different from those in my previous life.
Hua Xiali handed the candied haws to Huo Beixi, climbed up the slide, and then slid down. The cold wind blew on his face, chilly but not to the point of freezing his nose.
Since there was nothing to do, the two of them walked around the park. At that time, the park had not been expanded yet, so it didn't take much time to walk through all the narrow paths in the park. After leaving the park, Hua Xiali pointed to the row of houses across the street and said, "What do you think about me opening a store here?"
Huo Beixi turned his head and glanced at the park, and said, "The traffic here is quite good. If you choose the right products, it should be good."
"I plan to make money in a few more months and then come back to see." In fact, starting a business in the countryside is not safe, because some people will be jealous and sabotage. In her previous life, she often saw news reports about poisoning fish ponds, spraying pesticides on vegetables... In short, there were all kinds of means, and they were endless.
Anyway, it depends a lot on luck.
You can open a store in the city center, hire two employees, and you don’t have to worry about anything. If you can’t run the business, you can rent out the store and support yourself by collecting rent.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, I support you no matter what you do." Huo Beixi said.
"What if I lose money?" Hua Xiali raised his eyebrows.
"It doesn't matter if we lose money. If you can get a loan, why can't I? At worst, I can take out a loan once, and we can start all over again! If we can succeed once, we can succeed the second time." Huo Beixi said confidently.
Hua Xiali is a girl with courage and resolution. She can do what he can do, and she can also do what he cannot do. Fate is still kind to him and lets him meet such a good girl.
Afterwards, Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi played in the city center for three days. Except for breakfast at home, they had lunch and dinner in restaurants outside. They tried all the more famous hotels in the city center. Although it cost a lot of money for a few days, in their eyes, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket.
And what is the purpose of making money?
Isn't the purpose of making money to make your family and yourself live a good life?
On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them took a minibus that passed by Qinglong Village and went back directly. However, Huo Beixi got off in front of the blacksmith's house, while Hua Xiali got off at the drop-off point at Huazhuang. As long as the villagers didn't see them side by side in the same frame, they would naturally not think too much about it.
