"My plan is this. I'll find a friend from the factory to live with you, and then tell them I'm renting the house. That way, your dad won't be able to take the house away."
"This way, the house is preserved. We just paid the front desk and asked them to deliver three meals a day to your father, but only for a few days. Those few days should be enough for your father to give up hope. Even if he doesn't give up, we are not afraid. We will fight with them. Who is afraid of who?"
When Sha Zhu heard the plan, his eyes lit up and he quickly praised it.
"As expected of you, Xiaojun. I could never have come up with this plan in my lifetime. You really are smarter. So, let's throw away this stall. Where are we going?"
Liu Xiaojun said as if he had planned it in advance.
"I was thinking of a way out on the way here. My grandmother had planted a lot of food in her fields in the countryside. Since we have nothing to do, why don't we go over there and help out?"
When Sha Zhu heard about collecting grain, he was confused again.
It is deep winter now. The temperature outside in Beijing is at least below zero. There is no food waiting to be harvested.
Liu Xiaojun explained seriously.
"Brother, I'm not kidding you. I really want you to pick some food. My grandmother has planted a few acres of land in a plastic greenhouse. They were all left by my grandfather when he was alive."
"Originally, the old lady couldn't grow so much by herself, so all the crops were taken by the neighbors, and they gave some to my grandmother during the harvest."
"Later, I learned the technology of plastic greenhouses from foreigners and started experimenting with it on my grandmother's land. She wrote to me a while ago saying that the crops weren't growing much and it was almost time for the harvest."
When Sha Zhu heard about this good thing, he immediately agreed.
"Okay, Zhuzi, I'll go with you."
Liu Xiaojun said as soon as he heard the other party agreed.
"Okay, then I'll just give you an indefinite leave note. No, no, this counts as salary. It counts as field work, and I'll give you triple your salary."
After arranging all this, the two of them went back to their homes.
The next morning, it was still dark.
It was very quiet inside the courtyard.
The two young men came to Sha Zhu's house to move, making little noise and not disturbing the neighbors.
Liu Xiaojun and Sha Zhu left the city early in the morning. Liu Xiaojun had arranged everything last night just for this escape.
He Daqing and Qin Huairu were still asleep at this time.
Arrived in the countryside.
The fields were barren.
Only next to Liu Xiaojun's grandmother's house were there several white greenhouses, with red flames shining inside.
Sha Zhu, who was standing by, looked at this novel scene and asked hurriedly.
"Xiaojun, are these the greenhouses you mentioned? They don't look unusual to me. How could crops survive in them?"
Liu Xiaojun said nothing and just led the way.
Liu Xiaojun spoke only when he arrived in front of the greenhouse.
"Zhu Zi, this is the greenhouse. The technology over there is unique in the United States, not to mention the whole country, even in the area around Peking."
"Let me take you in and see it for yourself."
After saying that, Liu Xiaojun opened the door of the greenhouse.
When they said they were opening the gate, they actually just lifted up a corner of the white shed to let the two people in.
As soon as he came in, Sha Zhu felt the difference between here and outside.
Said to Liu Xiaojun in surprise.
"Xiaojun, it's really warm in here. No wonder you said crops can grow there. It's below zero outside, but it's at least 10 degrees in here."
Liu Xiaojun on the side raised his lips slightly and continued speaking.
"Look over there. I've installed a stove every few meters. It's not so cold during the day because of the sun. At night, I turn on these stoves to keep warm. This greenhouse has the effect of insulation and warmth."
As he spoke, Sha Zhu looked at the stove with flames coming out with curiosity.
The crops in the fields are also growing well. Liu Xiaojun planted no crops in the winter.
There are not only tomatoes and cucumbers, but also beans and peppers.
Looking at the crops here, Sha Zhu only felt that they were growing well. He couldn't imagine how many people would be willing to pay a high price to buy these out-of-season vegetables if they were transported to Peking.
He began to speak tentatively to Liu Xiaojun.
"Xiaojun, are you planning to take these to the city and sell them?"
Liu Xiaojun's face changed and he began to talk about his business empire in Sha Zhu's ear.
"Zhu Zi, you have to listen to me carefully this time. I plan to open a restaurant, and not just a small one. I want to open a big one, one that will be spread all over the country."
"And you have to help me enter the catering industry. You are the head chef of my first restaurant, Liu Xiaojun. You don't have to cook, you just need to help me in the kitchen."
"I need you to find a chef, too. I want a chef at least as good as you. I'll pay them the highest salary in Beijing. You can also take on the role of head chef over there, and be in charge of the factory's kitchen at the same time. I'll double your salary."
"You can just stay in the kitchen, drink tea, read the newspaper, and fight crickets. But you have to make sure the guys in the kitchen are clean and their cooking skills are good."
When Sha Zhu heard that he would have an extra title and an extra salary, he immediately agreed.
Said quickly.
"That's amazing! I can't say anything else, but I have experience managing the kitchen, so just leave it to me."
Liu Xiaojun pointed at the dishes below and said again.
"Zhu Zi, look at these dishes! They are my trump cards for entering the Peking catering industry. These dishes are rare in Peking nowadays. Others don't have them, but we do."
"And I also have some foreign vegetables growing here, but they're in the shed over there. They're the kind we rarely see here. Those too."
When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately understood everything.
As someone who has been cooking for so many years, he knows best how to win the hearts of those who eat there.
In addition to the delicious food, diners also look for novelty. As long as a restaurant keeps coming up with new ideas, it can last long.
Now, these winter vegetables give Liu Xiaojun the confidence to succeed in his catering business.
At this moment, Sha Zhu was thinking.
I must not let Xiaojun down. He not only helped me solve my family problems, but also helped me earn more money.
At the same time, outside the compound.
He Daqing and Qin Huairu walked towards the courtyard, trembling.
Qin Huairu talked as she walked.
"Brother He, did you remember what I said last night? You must not forget what I told you."
And He Daqing also replied to her.
"I know, I know. Are you annoying? You keep asking questions all the way here, and we're almost at the compound. Keep your voice down. You act like you're afraid no one can hear you."
Qin Huairu was instantly retorted by this statement.
The two of them had been arguing all the way because of last night.
Last night, the two of them stayed in the shelter arranged by Liu Xiaojun and Sha Zhu.
As soon as she entered the guesthouse, Qin Huairu started to act like a troublemaker.
