Chapter 193 (1)

Luo Xiangqin wanted to say something, but Xu Wen stopped her with his hand. "I heard that many customs of the Lao people are very similar to those of the Li people. It just so happens that there are some Li people living on the Central Island. They are now also implementing the policy of subcontracting land to households under the leadership of the government."

Lou Hanshan couldn't help but speak up: "Lu Tuan said that our village can practice self-government."

"Self-government does not mean oppression and exploitation of others. As Jiayi said just now, many customs and regulations have become outdated over time and need to be reformed. Let's not talk about the distant past. Our country is big, right? In the past, everyone was in the same pot, and it is somewhat similar to your clan rules, which almost all mean sharing weal and woe.

But as time went on, practice proved that this system did more harm than good, so our leaders made a decisive move and changed back to contracting land to households.

If the country's rules can be changed, why can't the rules of your tribe be changed?

Besides, your tribe doesn't distribute the land equally, does it? As far as I know, you, the tribe leader, have much more land than others, and the people who are close to you also have slightly more land than ordinary villagers. Why is that? Is this similar to the landlords and farmhands in the past?"

These words made the clan leader and his wife change their expressions at the same time.

Lou Hanshan said sternly: "Comrade Xiao Xu, don't talk nonsense!"

Luo Xiangqin also said, "Comrade Xu Wen, you are putting too much on me, aren't you? Since we are allowed to distribute the land on our own, then how we divide it has nothing to do with you? Or do you think you can be the master of the land on the island?"

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

This Luo Xiangqin is indeed a woman who has certain rights over the clan leader. She used her own method to retaliate against Xu Wen and put a big hat on him.

Xu Wen shrugged, "Originally, it has nothing to do with me. I really can't make the decision on this island. But, as it happens, Lou Xiangsheng owes me money, and Lou Shujie is working to earn money to pay me back. If you don't let him make money, who can I ask for money? In addition, although I can't make the decision on this island, you can't make the decision either."

Lou Hanshan looked at Lou Xiangsheng.

Lou Xiangsheng nodded with an embarrassed look on his face, "I did borrow the money."

That's true, but he doesn't have to pay it back.

He chose to lie for his son.

Xu Wen glanced at Lou Xiangsheng and said nothing.

Lou Hanshan's face changed several times, and he snorted angrily, "Comrade Xiao Xu, our lives were saved by Lu Tuan. You are his wife, and we respect you. But even if it is Lu Tuan, he cannot break our rules at will. Since there is no room for us on the island, then we will leave!"

"Where are we going?" Xu Wen asked curiously.

Luo Xiangqin was also dissatisfied with Luo Hanshan's impulsiveness, but at present they needed to deal with Xu Wen, the "outsider" first. Luo Xiangqin smiled wryly and said, "Then Comrade Xu Wen will not be bothered."

Luo Xiangqin patted Lou Hanshan's back to help him calm down, and her voice became a little colder when she spoke to Xu Wen: "Comrade Xu Wen, we saw that Comrade Lu Yuanzheng repeatedly gave in to you, but you are too aggressive. Yes, the villagers of our Loujia Village are in trouble and seek shelter from Rainbow Island because of Comrade Lu Yuanzheng's kindness!

But that is not what you asked. You are not qualified to give orders to our Lou family. Our clan leader is right. If you are not welcome here, we will find another place to stay. If you really can't tolerate us, we will leave!"

Xu Wen nodded and looked at the villagers of Xinyue Village behind Louhan Mountain.

Although not the entire village would be mobilized, all the important people in their village were here.

"Whether you leave or not actually has little impact on me. In fact, whether Lou Shujie makes money or not, or whether he gets married or not, has nothing to do with me. The biggest reason why I would speak up and meddle in this trivial matter is because if your village does not make improvements, it will drag down the entire island."

Xu Wen raised his hand and pointed at the workers or villagers from Xinri Village who were drinking at the small table behind Lou Shujie, and then continued, "You and the villagers from Xinri Village built your home on the island together. Everyone has the same house, and they started from scratch to cultivate the land. After more than a year, do you see any difference?"

This night market square is located right in the center of the southernmost part of Xinyue Village and Xinri Village.

Xu asked where they were standing. On the right was Xinri Village, and on the left was Xinyue Village.

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the two villages.

In fact, you can’t tell anything from the outside. The houses in the two villages were built at the same time, only about a year ago, and they are all as new as they can be.

Moreover, the appearance, size and layout of each house are all the same.

The only thing I built was the yard in front of the door.

Some were built with fences, and some were built with bricks.

Even though you can't tell anything at first glance, everyone at the night market knows that there is a difference.

The villagers of Xinri Village are getting richer and richer, while those in Xinyue Village are still standing still and just barely able to have enough food and clothing.

In addition to farming, some villagers in Xinri Village follow Xu Wen to do business, and some work in factories.

The villagers of Xinyue Village have farmland and fisheries for fishing, so their lives should not be bad.

It is the problem of the distribution system that causes people to not work actively. As Xu Wen said, they just want to have enough food and clothing.

It's very much like Wei Zhuang in the big pot era.

Of course Xu Wen didn't know whether Wei Zhuang had become rich now.

For a moment, the crowd began to talk, but the people involved in the circle remained silent.

Everyone in the world has eyes, and can deceive themselves in a certain situation. Everyone is the same, but if there is a comparison, the winner will be immediately distinguished.

Luo Xiangqin was a woman after all, and she was quite unreasonable. She snorted coldly: "The starting point is different, so what's the difference? Most of the villagers in Xinri Village are retired veterans. They have retirement benefits after retirement, so they are richer than us."

"No! We sent all our money back home a long time ago. Just like you, we settled down here with nothing." One of Lu Shujie's diners retorted.

The others nodded in agreement: "Yes! All the money we saved during our military service was given back to our families. We didn't keep any money on ourselves."

Xu Wen nodded, "Even if you are right about this. They have the capital to make a fortune, but you don't. What about these workers? They don't come out to work with money, do they? Just pick one and ask them how much they earn a year?"

Xu Wen pointed at the workers who were gathered around watching the excitement.

After all, no one can just go work for others with a lot of money, right?

Luo Xiangqin still had something to say: "If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. How can they live the same as ordinary people? Besides, they work for you, and you provide them with food and accommodation, so of course they earn more."

Initially, some of the onlookers did not know the truth and felt that Xu Wen, an ordinary citizen, was bullying by speaking in such a loud tone.

After listening to this conversation, everyone felt that the people of the Lou family were unreasonable.

Xu Wen remained calm: "You are right to say so. But as we all know, for some reason, there are no old, weak, women or children in the whole Loujia Village. Although there are still some underage children, they can survive according to the current labor force. If you are willing, except for children under the age of sixteen, you can come to our factory to work. As for the children, I will support you as a student if you come to work in our factory. How about it? Come?"

Luo Xiangqin stopped talking, and they definitely wouldn't come. But she shouldn't have said that.

Lou Hanshan shook his head and refused: "Thank you Comrade Xiao Xu for your kindness! But let's be honest. Lou Shujie is from Loujia Village, so he has to follow our rules. It's okay if you think we are wrong. We will move out together on a chosen day."

Xu Wen raised his chin towards the back of Lou Hanshan and said, "Patriarch, first of all, there is no Loujia Village now. There is only Xinyue Village here, and Xinyue Village will be under the militarized management of Rainbow Island instead of your Loujia having the final say. In addition, Patriarch, you might as well ask, how many of these people behind you still want to follow you?"

Lou Hanshan's face suddenly turned very ugly, and Luo Xiangqin's face also turned pale.

Louhan Mountain consciously turned around and followed Xu Wen's gaze.

Wherever his eyes passed, anyone who wanted to meet his gaze avoided his sight.

The meaning is very clear, no one wants to leave.

Lou Hanshan bit the tip of his tongue, and a rusty taste lingered in his mouth.

He understood what everyone meant; no one wanted to leave.

The Lou family separated from the Li ethnic group but they did not belong to the Li ethnic group. For various reasons, they had to wander on the sea and make a living in the cracks. All the members of the Lou family lived in fear under the oppression of pirates.

Here comes Rainbow Island, where there is a spacious and bright house to live in, there is a sea without pirates to fish in, there is land to farm, and the children can go to school.

No one wants to leave anymore.

In fact, he didn't want to.

But now that things have come to this, he has no way out and can't just go back on his own face.

Luo Hanshan sighed, closed his eyes, and was about to say, if no one else leaves, then he leaves by himself.

Xu Wen spoke first: "I haven't finished what I said just now. Even if, as the clan leader's wife said, the workers' food and drink are provided by the factory, you all need to support your families. Isn't there a good way to compare this now?"

Xu Wen pointed at Lou Shujie and said, "It is well known that Lou Xiangsheng's family is in the worst condition among the villagers in Xinyue Village. They have little farmland and catch little seafood. The family of four can barely afford to eat. Now, Lou Jiayi still has to study, and Lou Shujie wants to do business.

How about we make a bet?"

Lou Hanshan and Luo Xiangqin looked at each other, and Lou Hanshan asked, "What are you betting on?"

"Give Lou Shujie a month. Let's see how much money he can make in a month. Can he make what his family of four earned in Xinyue Village last year? If so, then Chief, you have to consider the living needs of most villagers and give them a chance to go out. A clan is a clan, and a village is a village.

If not, I will publicly apologize to you and unconditionally provide financial assistance to the children in Xinyue Village who want to continue their education."

Looking at Luo Xiangqin at Louhan Mountain, Luo Xiangqin nodded.

Luo Hanshan knew that this bet would not benefit Xu Wen in any way, but it was a way for him to step down. If he won, the whole village would benefit, and if he lost, he would have a reason to change the clan rules.

Even if he doesn't want to change, he won't be able to do that when the time comes.

If everyone in Xinyue Village saw that Lou Shujie earned a year's income in just one month, who would still be willing to live a hard life?

By then, they will go do business without Xu Wen's instigation. Even if they dare not do it openly, they will secretly sneak to Pengcheng to do business.

Thinking of this, Lou Hanshan sighed and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you!"

He was not a person who didn't know what was good for him. "If you win, I will apologize to you for what happened today!"

Xu Wen waved his hands and said, "Patriarch, you don't have to be so polite. Just don't hold a grudge against me for meddling in your affairs!"

Lou Hanshan shook his head, turned and left.

Luo Xiangqin looked at Xu Wen, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself from speaking, with the emotions in her eyes changing for a long time.

There was envy, admiration and regret, but in the end, he said nothing and just turned around and left.

After the tribe leader and his men had gone far away, Lou Shujie thanked Xu Wen: "Comrade Xu Wen, thank you!"

Lou Xiangsheng, Lou Shuwei and Lou Jiayi also came over to express their gratitude.

Xu Wen waved his hands, chose a table and sat down. "I feel a little hungry after talking so much. Give me a plate of crabs!"

Lou Shujie did what he was told.

Lou Jiayi sat down next to Xu Wen and said, "Sister Wen, what if my brother doesn't make that much money? Wouldn't you be at a huge loss then?"

"That's right!" Xu Wen teased her, "So you have to help your brother well and never let him lose money! This is not only to protect my wallet, but also to give hope to your people. Whether you can break those old-fashioned terms of yours depends on your brother!"

"Ah?" Lou Jiayi became even more nervous. "What should I do? What if I can't do it?"

Lou Jiayi not only kept repeating to herself, but also turned around and asked Lou Shujie who was busy at the stove: "Brother, can you do it?"

Lou Shujie didn't say anything.

It was his first time doing business, and he was very unsure. But if he said he couldn't do it, he was afraid of disappointing Xu Wen, so he had to keep silent.

Xu Wen was not in a hurry to speak. She stood up and asked them to wait for a while while she went to pick up Xia Chu.

After all, my sister-in-law is running a stall and I can't always help her take care of the children.

When Xia Chu was brought over, the crabs made by Lou Shujie were also served on the table.

"How is it? Have you figured out a solution?"

Lou Shujie shook his head.

Lou Xiangsheng was about to kneel down to Xu Wen with a gloomy face, "Miss, please be kind and save people to the end. Can you give us some more advice?!"

If they really lost the bet, they would never be able to hold their heads up in the village again.

On the other hand, the little girl Lou Jiayi was more forthright. "We lose! At worst, our family can just move to Xinri Village! Xinri Village is so good, so free! What era is this? Our tribe is still so feudal! It really proves the saying that the poorer you are, the more trouble you have!"

Xu asked: "..."

Lou Shuwei rolled his eyes and said to Lou Jiayi: "You are so talkative, why didn't you argue with the clan leader just now? Now that everyone has left, you are acting so powerful!"

Lou Jiayi: “…”

Girls, regardless of their age, are basically unreasonable in taking points. Lou Jiayi straightened her neck and said, "You are still criticizing me! I dared to say a few words to the clan leader, but what about you? You are a gay and you didn't dare to say a word!"

Lou Shuwei: “…”

Lou Shujie waved his hands to stop his brother and sister from quarreling, "Stop arguing, both of you!"

Then he looked at Xu Wen, "Comrade Xu Wen, my father is right. Please show me a way out! I am not afraid of not making money. I just don't want you to lose. Besides, if I lose, the young people in our tribe will have even less hope."

Lou Shuwei nodded vigorously, "That's right. Sister Xu Wen, you don't know how many people standing behind our clan leader secretly gave you a thumbs up when you confronted them today. We don't know about other places. On this Rainbow Island, all the people who follow you, as long as they don't cheat or play tricks, have made money, and their lives are getting better and better!

I talked to your workers a few times, and when I heard about their salaries, I was so jealous. I discussed with my father about going to work for you, but he didn’t let me. The main reason was because the clan leader didn’t allow me to do so!

Lou Jiayi snorted, "It's the same as if I was allowed to go to school. And they said I set a bad example for the girls in the tribe! The tribe leader's wife went to school herself, but she didn't let my father pay for our education. She said that going to school is useless. In the final analysis, it's because she suffered the hardship of having an education when things were not going well back then. But the world has changed now!"

At that time, the country did not encourage reading, but now it encourages reading! "

Lou Xiangsheng glared at Lou Jiayi and said, "Don't talk nonsense! The clan leader's wife is a good person."

Xu Wen knew that in their clan, the clan leader's wife did not hold an official position, but her position was similar to that of a judge behind the scenes, and many major decisions were made by her.

Sounds like he has a story.

However, Xu Wen was not very interested in the story of the clan leader's wife. She was more concerned about Lou Shujie.

You don't gamble in front of so many people just to lose.

She also had to rely on Lou Shujie's hand to tear open a hole in their tribe and drastically change some bad customs.

Of course, some harmless traditions can be preserved.

National culture must be supported.

"If your clan leader hadn't intervened, what would you have planned? You didn't plan to set up a stall at the night market forever, did you?"

Lou Shujie scratched his head and said very embarrassedly: "I didn't think that far ahead before. At the beginning, I just wanted to give it a try. If I lose, I lose. I didn't make any money on the first day. It was only after I listened to your advice and added some wine that business gradually improved."

He pointed at the customers who were eating there and said, "Most of them are returning customers. Now the tables are always full in the evening, and we make a lot of money.

However, it is still far from enough to say that we can make as much as we do in a year in a month. Although we don’t have much land, the clan leader does take care of our family. At the end of the year, he will give us some of his own harvest.

At the end of the day, the family should have an income of several hundred yuan.”

How much has he earned in the past few days? Not much, only about twenty dollars, minus the initial investment.

This is already a lot for their family.

Xu Wen nodded, "You make little money now because of high costs and few customers. But it's not unrealistic to think of a way to make a few hundred yuan a month. As the saying goes, doing business is like fighting a war, it depends on the right time, place and people.

At present, the conditions are very favorable for you. Because Rainbow Island is currently closed, people cannot go out and there are no entertainment activities. The night market is one of the few entertainment activities, and workers and villagers will come here.

It’s hard to say if Rainbow Island is unsealed and everyone can go out. So, the timing is right.

As for the location, there is no such thing as a good or bad location. Your location is pretty good as far as this night market is concerned.

The most important thing is harmony among people.

After today's incident, you are considered a celebrity in this night market. Out of curiosity or sympathy, there should be a lot of customers coming to you in the next few days. What you need to do is to find a way to keep them and make money from them."

Xu Wen stopped and took a sip to moisten his throat.

The current per capita income on the island is actually quite high. The lowest is in Xinyue Village, which is what is called the average.

So after work, we were willing to have a meal and some drinks together.

Lou Shujie thought about it carefully but still felt a little unsure. "But, there are only a thousand people on our island. Most of them are soldiers. They haven't been out much recently and only come out for a stroll on weekends. There are only a few hundred people left, most of whom are female comrades who don't drink. There are so many male comrades in total. It's impossible for them to come here to drink every day."

"You're right! It's true that all the people who drink are gay men. But you sell seafood here, so try to attract lesbians as well. I've seen you cook seafood these days and found that your methods are relatively simple, basically steaming. But some seafood is not suitable for steaming, and many customers don't like it. You can add some cooking methods.

Take shrimp for example. You mainly cook it in blanched sauce now, but you can try other methods, such as braised shrimp, tea shrimp, etc.

The same goes for other shellfish, you can try stir-frying. You can also try braising Spanish mackerel. Or you can just get a grill and grill some oysters or other seafood that can be grilled. There are so many kinds of seafood, and if you can make different ones every month, are you still worried that no one will come to eat them? "

People's dietary needs are different in different eras. A few decades later, people paid more attention to health preservation and advocated eating light food with less oil and salt. But in the early 1980s, people's lives had just improved. They were not satisfied with the big fish and meat. Who wanted to eat steamed seafood every day? It still had to be heavy in oil and seasoning to be attractive.

Lou Shujie made a bitter face: "But I only know a few simple methods."

Xu asked: "..."

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll copy down a few recipes for you later and you can study them yourself. People are not picky, so just make sure the food is not bad."

It's not difficult to find a few recipes from the magic mirror.

Lou Shujie's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

Lou Jiayi automatically took over the task of playing with Xia Chu.

The child couldn't sit still and started to make a fuss for Xu Wen to take her away.

Lou Jiayi carried her around in her arms.

Xu Wen continued, "After enriching the cooking methods, the next step is marketing. Marketing is a means to increase your customers. Let me give you an example. For example, if you buy seafood worth ten dollars a night, you can drink unlimited alcohol."

Lou Shujie shook his head repeatedly, "That won't work! My profit margin is very low. I can't make much money from selling seafood for ten yuan. If you drink unlimitedly, you will lose money."

Xu Wen thought so too. Beer was available in this era, but it was not that popular, especially beer on the island. It is still relatively expensive due to transportation costs.

So he changed the suggestion, "How about you try the recharge discount? That is, if you deposit money with me first, for example, if you deposit ten yuan, I will give you something worth one or two yuan. I know your profit is thin, so you can increase the profit a little bit.

I know you catch seafood yourself, so you usually only earn a small fee. But if you follow the recipe I gave you, you will definitely need to add a lot of seasonings, so it is appropriate to increase the price a little, and you can add the cost of the gift.

In addition, gifts do not necessarily have to be cash. For example, you can make some crab sauce, shrimp sauce, or dried fish as gifts.

Otherwise, you can offer group discounts, for example, you can get a 10% discount if you refer one table of people to dine, and you can get an 20% discount if you refer two tables.

Besides that, you can also come up with some gimmicks to attract people. I know you are also good at singing and dancing, you can try to let Shuwei and Jiayi perform some songs and dances in front of the booth to attract people. "

Lou Shuwei shook his head repeatedly. He did nothing, but his face turned red. "This... This is not okay!"

"So you want your brother to lose?"

Lou Shuwei shook his head faster, then looked at Lou Shujie and then at Xu Wen, gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Of course, I'm just giving you some ideas. I'm not a seafood chef and I don't know much about it. I don't know how much profit you make. I'm just giving you some ideas. I'm just throwing out some ideas to get you started. You can go home and discuss the specifics. I'll ask my friends for some seafood recipes for you."

The father and son of the Lou family expressed their gratitude again.

Xu Wen's waist began to ache from sitting for so long, so he gave a few more instructions and stood up to say goodbye.

On the way back, I bought some snacks for Xia Chu, took her home and gave her a bath.

Dongsheng also came back from playing outside.

"Aren't you staying at your grandma's house tonight?" Xu Wen asked a little puzzled.

Now Xiaozhi is inseparable from him every day. Sometimes Xu Wen asks Dongsheng to come back to sleep but he won't come back.

Dongsheng hummed, obviously in a bad mood. He said hello to Xu Wen, took his clothes and went to take a shower.

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows, not surprised.

Normally, they are just inseparable, but there are unusual situations, such as quarrels.

They are at the right age, so it's normal for them to have some quarrels.

Xu Wen first took Xia Chu back to the bedroom to coax her to sleep, and then he took a rest himself.

It's so inconvenient and uncomfortable to be pregnant.

After coaxing Xiachu to sleep, she also recovered from the stress. She got up and went to Dongsheng's bedroom and knocked on the door. "Can I come in?"

After a while, Dongsheng finally spoke in a low voice: "Come in!"

Xu Wen pushed the door open and entered the room. Dongsheng was lying on the bed with his head covered by the quilt, and he was shaking.

"Why are you still crying? Did you have a fight with your uncle or with Yuanbao?" Chunsheng also went to the island during the summer vacation, but Chunsheng was so young, could it really be Chunsheng?

Dongsheng didn't say anything, but Xu Wen heard sobbing.

Xu Wen deliberately asked, "It seems that you would rather be alone for a while, so I'll leave then?"

Dongsheng threw back the quilt, his eyes still filled with tears, and he sobbed, "They won't play with me?"

"them?"

"Uncle, Brother Yuanbao, and Chunsheng."

Xu asked: "..."

I really want to ask, "What did you do to offend so many people at the same time?"

But Dongsheng must have gone crazy if he said that. After thinking for a while, he changed his words to a more tactful way, "Are they jealous of you because you are the cutest, the most handsome, and the best student?"

Dongsheng burst into tears, "Neither! They had never been to the amusement park, only I had been there, and then they were all mad at me!"

Xu asked: "..."

The world of children is so simple!

Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are so pure? !

Xu Wen opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Then why don't you all go together next time? That way everyone will have been there."

Dongsheng cried, "When is the next time? Now we are not allowed to go out of Rainbow Island, when can we go together?"

This question may be really impossible to answer.

The island was closed because of military control, and she, a common citizen, had no say in it.

And it seems to be confidential, and there is no notification of when it will be unblocked.

Xu Wen hesitated for a moment, "At least next month, right?"

Dongsheng cried even more sadly, "Then my uncle and brother Yuanbao won't be able to talk to me until next month?"

Xu asked: "..."

"That's not the case. I'll go talk to them tomorrow."

"I don't want it!" Dongsheng shook his head and refused without thinking.

It was Xu's turn to ask curiously: "Why?"

"If you go to them, they'll laugh at me for only complaining and being unmanly, and they'll dislike me even less!"

Xu asked: "..."

"So what do you want to do?"

Dongsheng didn't know either. He thought for a while, stiffened his neck and asked Xu: "Mom, don't worry about it! This is a war between us men, just let us solve it ourselves!"

Xu asked: "..."

What else could Xu Wen say? He comforted him a few words and went back to his room to sleep.

I thought that the children already had their own rules, and that any quarrel would probably only last a few days before they would reconcile.

What Xu Wen didn't expect was that this time, the war between the children lasted for four days and had not yet ended.

This made Xu Wen particularly puzzled.

They are all grown-up children, so it is normal for them to have some quarrels from time to time.

Sometimes we would fight over something very small, like one piece of meat in your bowl and two pieces of meat in my bowl.

But they will make up soon after the fight.

We have never been at odds for so long.

Out of curiosity, Xu Wen asked Xu Qie. After all, Xu Qie was older than his uncle, and after his birthday, Xu Qie would be ten years old.

At the age of ten, during the puberty period, Xu Qiesha said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't argue with him. He always showed off his trivial things like going to the amusement park, and we didn't want to listen, so he was unhappy."

Xu asked: "..."

It turns out that regardless of age, when it comes to quarrels, the husband always thinks he is right, and the wife always thinks she is right.

Xu Wen had no choice but to ask the second party - Zhu Meizhen and Xu Qiushi.

"We were just talking about the playground and I don't know how you started arguing! It's normal for children to have a few quarrels. As an adult, you should stay out of their affairs." Zhu Meizhen said concisely and did not forget to educate Xu Wen.

Xu Wen sighed, "If I want to take care of it, I have to get involved."

That is what they say, but neither those who are excluded nor those who exclude others are happy.

After asking around, Xu finally understood that basically everyone was just trying to save face and suffer, and no one was willing to admit defeat first, so the relationship between the four of them was at a stalemate.

They all refused to apologize and thought they were not wrong.

During the process, Xu Wen also realized one thing: they all wanted to go to the amusement park.

Whether it is Dongsheng or Xu Qie them.

Dongsheng was not as ostentatious as Xu Qie said. At first, they asked Dongsheng to talk about the amusement park.

Dongsheng just talked, and thought they were willing to listen, so he told them a little bit of anything interesting that came to his mind.

Xu Qie and the others listened with great interest at first, but they gradually became bored as they could not see or hear the show.

As soon as the two sides disagreed, they started fighting.

Xu Qie had never been to an amusement park because his family conditions were poor before. When he grew up, he moved out of Wei Zhuang and spent most of his time on the island. When he went out occasionally, it was to Xu Wen's or Xu Wang's house.

During the summer vacation, I have to help Xu Wen or Xu Wen take care of the children.

Yuanbao had never been to an amusement park because he was poor before. After arriving in Pengcheng in the past two years, Xu Wang and his family were so busy that they had no time to take them to an amusement park. Besides, there were no large amusement parks in Pengcheng now, so they had to go to the provincial capital to play.

Chunsheng is still young, and when he went to the amusement park, he was similar to Xiachu, the type who wanted to go but didn’t know how to play.

Xu Wen suddenly had a new idea to build an amusement park on Rainbow Island.

Xu Wen gathered the kids and asked them: "Do you want to go to the amusement park on the island?"

This time, the little ones were particularly united in their opinions, saying in unison: "Yes!"

"Okay! Then let's find a way to build our own amusement park on the island."

Xu Wen did not fool the child and said that if he wanted to build a playground, the first thing he would do was to go to the camp to discuss the land.

The island still has abundant land resources. In the planning map drawn by Lu Yuanzheng, a piece of land was reserved for building a park.

Playgrounds can be located inside parks, there is no conflict.

It’s still the same old rule. Xu Wen is responsible for construction and finding people to operate it, and the profit will be shared 70% with the troops.

Troops seven asked.

After discussing the land use, Xu Wen began to research what kind of amusement facilities were used in amusement parks in the 1980s and how to build them most reasonably.

First of all, there is the Ferris wheel.

Then there are some amusement facilities with a very low risk factor, such as bumper cars, spinning airplanes, and slides.

Xu Wen had ridden a bumper car before, but it was not like the ones that were ridden decades later, with a thin pole like an antenna behind the car, extending all the way to the top.

After determining the amusement equipment, the next step is to purchase it.

This won't happen in one step, Xu Wen contacted Luo Zemin by phone.

Because it was inconvenient to enter and exit Rainbow Island, Luo Zemin stayed in Pengcheng, and Xu Wen was in charge of the business on the island.

To be precise, it is Guo Jianye who is in charge.

Xu Wen made a list and asked Xu Wen to help with the purchase.

"I can buy it for you, but I just want to ask, how can I transport it to the island for you after I buy it?"

"Can you help me check if they have any stock? Many of them are probably not available and need to be custom made. Please contact the manufacturer to confirm the delivery date, and I will try to coordinate the shipping."

Luo Zemin agreed readily.

When Xu Wen made the phone call, Xiaozhi was always there.

After Xu Wen hung up the phone, the little ones huddled together and jumped around, looking extremely happy.

That's how we made peace.

Dongsheng said that he wanted to eat and stay at his grandmother's house, and let Xu Wen go home by himself.

Although Xia Chu likes Xu Wen, she is getting older and needs a playmate of the same age, so she stays too.

Because Chunsheng's brother is a little older than her, she wants to play with Chunsheng and his friends.

Dongsheng and his friends actually didn't want to bring Xiachu, a little burden, with them, but Xiachu was the only girl, so they couldn't just ignore her.

Xu Wen didn't care how they distributed the food. He was happy to have some free time. He went home, made himself a meal, ate well, and had a good sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Xu Wen thought about it, changed his clothes and went to the night market.

Mainly, I wanted to see how Lou Shujie's seafood stall business was doing.

Ever since she copied some seafood recipes from the magic mirror, including high-end and low-end recipes as well as several recipes suitable for gifts, such as seafood sauce and spicy crab legs, and gave them to Lou Shujie, she has not been to the night market again.

Firstly, he doesn't like to move much, and secondly, he is busy with the amusement park.

It was just a matter of saying a few words, and after completing the few formalities, ten days or half a month had passed.

I don’t know how Lou Shujie’s business is going.

Xu Wen could see all the demons dancing wildly from a distance.

No, everyone dances.

When I got closer, I found that it was Lou Jiayi and several of her classmates who were wearing ethnic costumes and dancing their ethnic dance.

A group of spectators ate and cheered.

Xu Wen was surprised to find that Lou Shujie's stall was twice as big as before.

Lou Shujie is the chef, Lou Shusheng is the waiter, and Lou Xiangsheng is the one who cleans up the table and the dishes after the meal.

Every small square table in his stall was occupied.

Lou Shuwei was serving food to the guests and saw Xu Wen and hurriedly invited her in.

Xu Wen smiled and shook his head.

It was OK to sit down before, but it is not appropriate to sit down now.

The table was full of guests and there was no seat for her.

Lou Shuwei chased after her and whispered, "My brother said he didn't know when you would come, and he couldn't leave you without a seat, so we hid a table and a bench. Sister, come here quickly!"

Xu Wen still shook his head, "Next time! I've already eaten, and I just came to see you. Your business looks good?!"

Lou Shuwei nodded repeatedly, with a smile that could not be hidden on his face, "My brother said that thanks to your advice, our business is so good now! At the beginning, only gay men came to eat. Now, you can see that there are many lesbians too. They don't drink alcohol, so we make some fruit juice or our special cold tea. It's free.

Oh, yes, sister, wait a moment, I'll get you a cup."

Without waiting for Xu Wen to refuse, he ran to pour Xu Wen a glass.

Xu Wen had drunk Cantonese-style cold tea before, and he couldn't accept the taste. He was afraid that Lou's cold tea would also be so bitter, so he frowned.

But Lou Shuweisheng was too enthusiastic and she was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to take a sip of the cool tea and her eyes lit up.

It tastes sour and sweet, a bit like plum soup, but not like plum soup. It has tea and fruit flavors and is quite delicious.

Seeing that Xu Wen really liked drinking, Lou Shuwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Wen stood for a while and saw that the attendance rate of Lou Shujie's place was very high.

However, everyone was eating, having fun and watching performances, so the rate of changing channels was not very high.

Xu asked Lou Shuwei, "How much is your daily turnover now?"

Lou Shuwei looked confused: "What is daily flow water?"

Xu asked in a different way: "Do you know how much money you make in a day?"

Lou Shuwei thought about it and shook his head: "I'm not sure. I know that we don't have much capital in seafood.
