Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiuneng brought back a large number of clothes from Shenzhen. They spent all their money and were exhausted.
As soon as they got home, Shi Xiuneng collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up.
Cheng Xiuyun saw him throwing clothes on the ground, and her forehead was blue with anger, but she finally held back and picked up the clothes one by one and put them away.
Before she finished packing, Shi Xingrui rushed in from outside like a firecracker: "Mom, you and Dad are finally back. If you don't come back, I will be bullied badly, wuwuwu..."
Cheng Xiuyun was so tired that her whole body was about to fall apart, especially her waist was so sore that she could hardly stand up. Shi Xingrui rushed over so straight that she took two steps back and hit her waist on the table behind her. Her face was twisted in pain.
"What are you doing, kid? You are so reckless. I taught you to be gentle and elegant as a girl. Look at what you are like now!"
Shi Xingrui was just pretending to cry. She didn't expect her mother to scold her instead of hugging her. She sat on the ground and burst into tears: "Dad, your daughter is going to be beaten to death, Daddy, sob..."
Shi Xingrui's voice was very loud. When she cried, it was like crying for the dead. Cheng Xiuyun's head was throbbing with pain.
Shi Xiuneng was woken up by the noise and scolded impatiently: "You scold the child as soon as you come back. If you make noise again, get out of here!"
Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that she almost vomited blood and died.
Shi Xingrui saw her mother being scolded, and she was so proud that she jumped up and ran to the bedside and held her father's hand: "Dad, you said you would bring me a beautiful skirt when you came back, where is the skirt?"
Shi Xiuneng was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, and said perfunctorily: "Ask your mother."
After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep again.
Shi Xingrui was scolded by her mother, and she didn't want to pay attention to her mother for the time being, so she ran over to pull the clothes, and messed up the clothes that Cheng Xiuyun had just sorted out.
Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that her chest was heaving violently: "I just sorted out the clothes, stop it!"
Shi Xingrui made a face at her: "I want new clothes, if you don't give them to me, I will call my dad to wake up and say you beat me!"
Shi Xiu Neng has a very serious temper when he wakes up. If he is woken up by a wake-up call, he will definitely curse. Cheng Xiuyun really doesn't want to confront him.
But hearing her daughter threaten her with such words, she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. How could she give birth to such a disgusting ghost?
Compared with Wen Rugui when she was a child, Shi Xingrui is simply a reincarnation of a devil, especially with Shi Xiu Neng supporting her, and she doesn't listen to her mother at all.
Cheng Xiuyun had no choice but to find two skirts and give them to her.
Shi Xingrui's eyes lit up, and she took the skirt and smiled, "Give me some pocket money, I have no money."
Cheng Xiuyun frowned, "Didn't I just give you five yuan when I left? It's gone in just a few days?"
Shi Xingrui rolled her eyes, "I bought some stationery, give it to me quickly!"
Shi Xiuneng on the other end cursed, and Cheng Xiuyun had to take out a dollar and hand it over, "Don't spend money recklessly, and don't buy candy, your teeth..."
But before she finished her words, Shi Xingrui took the money and the skirt and ran away to show off to her peers in the yard.
With her pocket money and the new skirt, Shi Xingrui forgot about her itchy scalp. Cheng Xiuyun was tired and angry, and she had a lot of things to do, so she didn't notice that she kept scratching her scalp when she spoke.
Therefore, the lice on Shi Xingrui's head was ignored.
After that, the two of them only rested for one day before they started selling clothes. They took a large oilcloth and spread it on the street next to the market, and then put the clothes on it.
As the first special economic zone in the country, Shenzhen has a very rapid economic development due to its geographical advantages. The clothes that the couple brought back from Shenzhen were new and novel, and people in Beijing had never seen them.
Therefore, as soon as the clothes were put out, people soon surrounded them and asked about the price.
"This top is eight yuan, and the skirt is fifteen yuan."
"Why are they so expensive?"
"Big sister, look at my clothes. The colors are so bright, and the style is unique. There is no other store in the whole city that sells them, and I don't want cloth coupons."
The woman who asked the price was even more excited when she heard that she didn't need cloth coupons. More importantly, the clothes were really beautiful, unlike the clothes in department stores that were either black or gray. Occasionally, there were a few brightly colored ones, which were ordered before they were even taken out.
Just as she was hesitating, a woman dressed in modern clothes came over and picked up two skirts: "How much are these two?"
Cheng Xiuyun immediately smiled and said, "The red one is fifteen yuan, and the blue one is eighteen yuan."
The woman took the two skirts and gestured on her body twice, looking very satisfied.
Cheng Xiuyun praised: "This female comrade has such a good figure. She looks like a fairy in these two skirts. People can't move their eyes."
Everyone likes to hear nice words.
The woman was overjoyed by the praise. She handed over the two skirts and said: "I want these two. How long will you put them? I will introduce my sisters and colleagues to buy them later."
Cheng Xiuyun's smile deepened: "I will be here before dark, but we don't have much stock this time. If you want them, you have to act quickly. They will definitely be sold out in two days."
The first woman heard this and no longer hesitated. She quickly paid for two pieces of clothing.
Four pieces of clothing were sold at once. When the two women left, the couple was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Shi Xiuneng counted the money and looked at her: "You are great, I didn't expect you to be a good businessman."
Cheng Xiuyun took a sip of water: "It's all because of life."
In the past, she would not have been able to sell clothes on the street, let alone brag with a smile, but this time she went to Shenzhen Market, which gave her a great shock. She
saw her best friend making money every day in business, and the whole Shenzhen Market was full of vitality, both men and women were very hardworking. She carefully observed other people doing business and imitated them in her heart. If
others can do it, Cheng Xiuyun can definitely do it too.
Shi Xiuneng wanted to compliment her, but soon someone else came to buy clothes.
Just as Cheng Xiuyun said, the clothes were sold out in less than two or three days, because it was the first time to sell clothes, they didn't dare to wholesale too much, so they could only go to Shenzhen Market to wholesale again after selling them.
They planned to wholesale more clothes this time, so Shi Xingrui could only ask Auntie Lin for help again.
Auntie Lin wanted to refuse, but Cheng Xiuyun gave her ten yuan more than last time as the cost of taking care of Shi Xingrui. She looked at the ten yuan and couldn't say no.
**
Cheng Xiuyun's business was booming, and Tong Xuelu's business was also booming. She
chose an auspicious day and opened her "Lanwei Zhai".
Before opening, she went back to school and mentioned this to her former classmates. Because she had good relationships with people and everyone had heard about her previous experience as a hotel manager, people who had never eaten there wanted to try it.
So on the opening day, many people came to support her.
In order to make a big splash, Tong Xuelu also offered a three-day opening discount, with a 10% discount for purchases of at least 5 yuan.
These days, whether you go to a department store to buy something or go to a state-owned hotel to eat, you can only find things you can't buy, and you have never heard of discounts.
Everyone thought it was very novel, and they heard that they could get a discount, so they felt bad if they didn't buy it, so they all came to buy a few things. One person couldn't eat so much, so a few classmates would buy together.
In addition to selling spicy hot pot, "Benweizhai" also sells various halogens, such as halogenated chicken feet, halogenated chicken wings, and halogenated duck necks. Many snacks are new to everyone.
The taste is absolutely delicious, spicy, fresh, fragrant and chewy, and they allow you to buy only a little of each item, so that everyone can try everything as much as possible.
Tong Xuelu's cooking skills are beyond doubt. She brought the Dongfeng Hotel back to life in less than half a month, and her cooking skills have long been recognized by everyone.
After the classmates came to try it, they praised it highly. So word of mouth spread quickly.
People nearby knew that this place was open for business, and they would come to buy some to cook with.
In short, business was booming.
The restaurant had not yet opened. Tong Xuelu came to help in person for the first three days, and took Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping with her.
Guo Chunyu was quick-witted and could learn many things quickly. She was also enthusiastic and cheerful, which made her very suitable to be a salesperson.
Guo Weiping was more introverted and not a smart person, but he had a good temper, was hardworking, and was willing to obey arrangements. Tong Xuelu was very satisfied with him.
After closing the first day, when the door of the store was closed and the turnover was calculated, it was more than 400.
Guo Chunyu was so shocked that his mouth opened wide: "Oh my god, everyone only bought a few yuan, I didn't expect the turnover to be so high."
You know, Dongfeng Hotel doesn't usually have that much turnover in a day.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "You should be mentally prepared. After the first three days, there won't be that much later."
Guo Chunyu thought about it and said he understood.
In the first three days, many people came out of curiosity, and many people came to patronize Tong Xuelu. In addition, there were discounts, so many people bought.
Later, there were no discounts, so fewer people bought. In addition, people were not very wealthy these days, so they certainly couldn't go out to eat and drink every day.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "But this is only temporary. Now that the country is focused on developing the economy, people's living standards will get better and better, and more and more people will be able to afford things."
Guo Chunyu nodded and said, "Manager Tong is right. In fact, our lives have been different in the past two years."
If it were the past, who would dare to sell things so openly, but now people selling things can be seen on the street from time to time.
Tong Xuelu encouraged them, "You work hard. When the store is successful, I will open the second and third stores. By then, you can be promoted to managers to help lead people."
Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping were stunned.
Guo Chunyu's face immediately lit up: "Thank you, Manager Tong, we will definitely do a good job!"
Guo Weiping showed an unconfident expression: "Be a manager? I'm afraid I can't do it..."
Before he finished speaking, he was hit hard by his sister, and hinted to him to shut up with her eyes.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that others can't even hope for, but he actually took the initiative to push it away. I've never seen such a fool.
If Tong Xulu said this before the opening, she would definitely not believe it, but looking at the turnover in the past few days, she couldn't help but believe it.
The decoration of the restaurant has not been completed yet, and the "Business License for Individual Industrial and Commercial Households" there has not been issued yet. Deng Hong's resignation also requires a month for handover, so the opening time can only be delayed.
Tong Xuelu asked the other five people to come to the restaurant in turn to help and learn, and to obey Guo Chunyu's management, because the restaurant could not be opened yet. In addition
, she also asked Deng Hong to help find one or two chefs, after all, she alone would not be enough after the restaurant opened.
The business of "Yuweizhai" was as Tong Xuelu expected. After the first three days, it was not so prosperous, but the business was still good.
Although Qian Caixin had never bought anything from Yuweizhai, she was always paying attention to Tong Xuelu's every move.
Seeing that the Halvezhai was actually run by Tong Xuelu, she felt very upset: "Some people are just hopeless. They don't go to good companies, but insist on doing business. They will definitely regret it in the future!"
When the people in the dormitory heard her say this, they looked at each other and didn't answer.
Since Qian Caixin's opportunity to intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was cancelled, she hated Tong Xuelu more and more in her heart, but because her family warned her, she didn't dare to target Tong Xuelu again.
Before Halvezhai opened, she cursed in her heart every day that Halvezhai would go bankrupt and let the whole school laugh at Tong Xuelu, but she didn't expect Halvezhai's business to be so good. It was like a slap in her
face. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she was.
Tong Xuelu didn't know that Qian Caixin was sulking alone, so she wrote a letter to Xie Guangkun in the United States, asking him if he could help her buy an induction cooker.
The world's first induction cooker was made in Germany in 1957, and the United States began to produce induction cookers in 1972. Now in the early 1980s, induction cookers are very popular in Europe, America and Japan.
But China doesn't have induction cookers yet.
She wanted to make hot pot, and induction cookers are the most convenient and safe to make hot pot. Other methods such as using coal or alcohol are not safe, especially coal, which is very easy to cause poisoning.
After writing the letter, she handed it to the staff of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office.
At present, domestic and foreign communications have not been liberalized, and letters to foreign countries need to go through layers of checkpoints before they can be sent out.
It might be difficult to send an induction cooker back, so Tong Xuelu wrote in the letter that if there was no other way, she would ask him to try to get her a manual.
She wanted Wen Rugui to see if he had any friends who could make one, and then they could become the first manufacturer of induction cookers in China, which would be another way to make money.
Before Xie Guangkun could reply, Jiang Baihui's wedding day arrived.
Tong Xuelu went to make up for her as agreed. Since Jiang Baihui had no cosmetics, she paid for one set herself.
Jiang Baihui received the cosmetics and hugged her happily: "Xuelu, I'm so happy, thank you, I like this gift very much!"
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. Sit down quickly. The groom will come to pick people up later and I have to do your makeup."
Jiang Baihui sat down quickly after hearing that: "By the way, please teach me how to put on makeup later. I heard that foreign women have to put on makeup when they go to work."
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Okay, makeup is not difficult. You just need to practice a few more times."
Jiang Baihui has a good foundation and majestic facial features. Tong Xuelu matched her face shape and gave her a dignified and charming look.
After the makeup was done, Jiang Baihui looked at herself in the mirror and almost couldn't recognize herself: "Oh my God, am I so beautiful?!"
Jiang Baihui's cousins witnessed Tong Xuelu's makeup skills that turned the ordinary into the magical, and they couldn't help but praise her.
"Comrade Tong's makeup is so amazing, I can't even understand it."
"Me too, but Baihui's makeup is really beautiful. When my brother-in-law comes over later, he will definitely be fascinated by it."
Everyone in the room laughed, and Jiang Baihui blushed and glared at her cousin.
Soon Jiang Baihui's mother came over and saw that Jiang Baihui had become so beautiful, and she also praised her.
Because help was needed outside, Jiang Baihui's mother called a group of girls out to help, leaving only Jiang Baihui and Tong Xulu in the room.
Jiang Baihui took Tong Xuelu's hand and said, "It would be great if we could go abroad together, but you went to do business."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, and my situation is not suitable for going abroad."
Jiang Baihui knew her situation, so she didn't continue talking, and changed the subject and said, "My cousin, the one who was standing next to you just now, what do you think of her?"
Tong Xuelu thought for a while: "Is it the one with a round face?"
Jiang Baihui nodded: "Yes, it's her. My cousin is 19 years old this year and graduated from high school. She also took the college entrance examination before, but unfortunately she didn't pass."
Tong Xuelu: "Then she can continue to take the exam."
Jiang Baihui shook her head: "Her mind is not on studying, her goal is I want to marry into a good family, take care of my husband and children ."
Tong Xuelu: "..." Jiang Baihui suddenly lowered her voice and said: "My cousin has a very gentle personality. She has three brothers at home and she is the youngest. She is very spoiled at home. My uncle and aunt have already said that they will prepare a rich dowry for her when she gets married." Tong Xuelu thought she was just chatting, so she said: "It's the same sentence, everyone has their own aspirations. As long as it's not illegal, she can choose the way of life she wants." Jiang Baihui nodded again: "I know, but I mentioned her to you because I want to ask you, do you think my cousin and Zhuzhu's brother are suitable?" Tong Xuelu was a little speechless. It turned out that she said so much because she wanted her to be a matchmaker. She refused without thinking: "You should know my personality. I don't like to be mixed with these." Jiang Baihui paused, shaking her hand and starting to move: "But I'm not someone else. What kind of relationship do we have? I think my cousin and Wei Ran are a good match. You can just help be a go-between." "Besides, didn't you help to connect female college students between the base and the school before?" Tong Xulu: "For the connection between the base and the school, I just helped to pass the message. The school was in charge of the review and organization, and I didn't participate." "Yes, this time I just want you to help pass the message. Just mention my cousin to Grandma Shen and arrange for them to meet for a blind date. I don't need to bother you with other things." "Please, Xuelu, please help me." Jiang Baihui looked at her expectantly, "Today is my wedding day, you can't refuse me!" Tong Xuelu felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it: "I'll ask Grandma Shen later." In fact, there is no need to ask, the family background of the Wei family is more than one level higher than that of the Jiang family, and they are not a good match. In addition, Wei Ran and Wei Zhuzhu's parents are both dead, and Shen Wanrong wants to find a daughter-in-law for Wei Ran who can do it. Jiang Baihui's cousin is very childish and timid in doing things, which does not meet Shen Wanrong's standards for choosing a daughter-in-law. But now Jiang Baihui put her on a pedestal and forced her to agree, which made her a little uncomfortable. Jiang Baihui smiled: "That's great, Grandma Shen likes you so much, as long as you are the introducer, she will definitely choose my cousin." Tong Xuelu glanced at her and didn't comment. Soon the groom came to pick up the bride, and the house and the outside became lively again. As expected, Liang Tianyi was stunned when he saw Jiang Baihui with makeup on. Everyone laughed at his silly look. Jiang Baihui raised her head and said to him: "Hold me." The look and expression she said when she said this were not very similar to the day of Tong Xuelu's wedding, but exactly the same. Xie Xiaoyan, Tian Fengzhi and others were stunned when they saw this, but because everyone was cheering for Liang Tianyi to hold someone, they quickly put this strange feeling behind them. Liang Tianyi was so nervous that his face turned red. He walked over and bent over to pick up Jiang Baihui. Who knows if he was too excited or Jiang Baihui's height and weight were too much for him. He tried twice but failed to pick up Jiang Baihui. Seeing this, everyone laughed even harder. "Groom, are you really capable?" "I just did ten push-ups, and now I can't even pick up the bride. I don't think it's going to work." Liang Tianyi was laughed at and his face turned red like Guan Gong. The shyness on Jiang Baihui's face also disappeared without a trace. In the end, the two of them went out hand in hand. A week after they got married, Liang Tianyi went abroad to study. Tong Xuelu turned around and told Shen Wanrong about Jiang Baihui's cousin, but was rejected as expected. Jiang Baihui was very unhappy for a while after she found out. That day, Tong Xuelu went to the base to visit Wen Rugui, and met Wang Xiaoyun who was also going to the base on the way.
After they knew each other's identities, they started chatting.
When they arrived at the gate of the base, Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan ran out, each holding a bouquet of flowers.
When they saw their respective wives, they both handed the flowers to them.
Wen Rugui's eyes were filled with tenderness: "I planted this flower myself."
Tong Xuelu held the flower and smiled: "What a fragrant flower, I like it very much."
Seeing this, Zhou Yan, who was standing by, shook his head and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyun, I planted this flower myself, too."
Wang Xiaoyun did not doubt it, and went up to smell it. The next moment her face turned green: "Why is there a smell of urine?"
Tong Xuelu: "......?"
Wen Rugui: "..."
Zhou Yan: "!!!"
Wen Rugui saw that Tong Xuelu was confused, so he went up to her and whispered in her ear: "He stole the flowers from the dean. It must be the dean's grandson who secretly urinated in the flowers again."
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Wang Xiaoyun immediately realized that she had been fooled. There was no way he had planted this flower himself!
She was so angry that she threw the flowers at Zhou Yan, but before she could curse, she vomited.
Zhou Yan was anxious, holding her arm and repeatedly asking: "Xiao Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Xiaoyun vomited so much that she couldn't speak.
Zhou Yan was so scared that his face turned pale.
Tong Xuelu was about to say that they would help call a doctor, but before she could open her mouth, a feeling of nausea surged into her chest.
She vomited with a "vomit".
