Chapter 56 Brewery
Speaking of opening a factory, Pu Xiang thought of the brewery that Mo Yang had mentioned before.
"Brewery?"
She asked the same question.
Since Mo Yang had started it, he didn't want to hide it and said, "It's a brewery, but we didn't buy one, we opened one ourselves."
Speaking of the brewery, we have to start from the person who first approached Mo Yang to become a partner.
That person later approached Mo Yang several times, but Mo Yang turned them down each time.
However, after hearing so much about it, he began to take an interest in the brewery business. It just so happened that he was also involved in wholesale business, and there were local factories for soy sauce, rice vinegar, etc. He would get the goods directly from the factories through introductions from his acquaintances.
After a while, I got to know more and more people.
Mo Yang started the wholesale business just to give it a try. His daughter was still young, so it wasn't a big deal for him to go out and sell furniture on the ship.
Not to mention the possibility of losing one's life.
However, he never expected that this wholesale business would be easier to do than he thought, and he could make more money than selling furniture.
This is how the heart gradually grows bigger.
Mo Yang paid attention to the methods of making soy sauce and rice vinegar, and found that these things were not difficult and did not require many people.
This business is viable.
He doesn't need to buy a factory, he can just find someone to build a new factory.
In the past two years, the state-owned factories have been in a more and more depressed state. More and more people have gone into business, and even more have been laid off.
Mo Yang has always been paying attention to the affairs of the brewery. When he meets someone he needs, he directly recruits him into his own factory.
Pu Xiang felt a little jealous when she heard Mo Yang talking about his factory.
Look, he is about to become the factory director in an instant.
But on second thought, running a factory is not that easy. It's busy and tiring enough.
It is good for her the way she is now, with two small shops. She doesn't have to worry about having no money to spend, and she is not too tired, nor too idle. She is content with a small fortune.
"Come on."
After feeling envious, Pu Xiang began to sympathize with this elder brother who had just entered a busy entrepreneurial life.
Mo Yang always felt that Pu Xiang's expression was a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
A customer happened to come, so he had to go out to work.
Pu Xiang chose a good time to come see Mo Yang. After talking for a while, Mo Jingjing came back from school to have lunch.
She is currently attending a primary school in town, having skipped to the second grade.
Mo Jingjing meant that primary school lasts for six years, and it would be best for her to finish it in three years, and then go on to higher education normally after junior high school. Before she was reborn, she lived with her stepmother, and the nine-year compulsory education was stressful, so she only went to junior high school.
That was because the school saw her family's special circumstances and waived most of her tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Otherwise, given Zhou Xiaorou's personality, it would be strange for her to give Mo Jingjing money to let her go to school.
"Aunt Xiangxiang, you are here."
Mo Jingjing had already entered the house, but when she saw Pu Xiang, she immediately trotted over.
The two greeted each other, and Mo Jingjing sat down to eat. Mo Yang had already prepared the food for her.
"Auntie, do you know Brother Chen?"
Pu Xiang was confused for a moment and asked, "Which Brother Chen?"
There are many people with this name in the surrounding areas.
Mo Jingjing said: "The one who stole the dog and killed my dad."
After hearing this, Pu Xiang immediately remembered: "Ah... that's the guy, I know him, what happened to him?"
This guy was brought by Mo Yang to work on a ship and sell furniture. Now that Mo Yang himself is no longer in this business, Brother Chen's life should be different from before.
Mo Jingjing had a complicated expression: "He died a few days ago. He was beaten for stealing a dog. He was carried back. He vomited blood twice and then died."
Pu Xiang: “…”
What else could she say? This fate actually came back to her in the end.
The two reborn people both felt something called "fate" at the same time.
Fortunately, their lives have changed.
Fortunately, God did not apply the rule of "what is supposed to happen will happen" to them.
Pu Xiang and Mo Jingjing both felt lucky.
After a while, Mo Jingjing suddenly remembered something: "Auntie, when I was not around, did my dad confess his love to you?"
This topic...
Pu Xiang said "hmm" in a puzzled tone and gave the other party a puzzled expression.
Mo Jingjing ate her rice and said, "My dad asked for my opinion in advance. I told him that I support him whether he wants to find someone to marry or fall in love. I'm not really a child, so he doesn't need to focus all his energy on me."
Pu Xiang didn't respond, so Mo Jingjing continued, "There's more. I think my dad is a little too optimistic. Auntie, you may not be attracted to him. Wait until he catches up with you."
Pu Xiang was a little amused and said, "You are really my biological son, but don't you think about how old I am and whether I am a good match for your father?"
Mo Jingjing put down her chopsticks and looked her up and down. "He's two years younger than my dad, and they look quite compatible... Aunt Xiangxiang, don't worry about your mental age. You're in your 60s, the right age to fall in love. Young girls like older men, and mature women like younger men."
She was truly reborn.
People have become much more cheerful.
This statement is really irrefutable.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Since you, as a daughter, don't object, let's just let it go. I came here to talk about the mall wholesale market. Does your father want to buy it?"
Pu Xiang and Mo Jingjing had a tacit understanding and neither of them mentioned that she was also a reborn person, so there were some things that Pu Xiang couldn't mention in front of Mo Yang.
The only way is to go around through Mo Jingjing.
Mo Jingjing said, "Let's buy two stores, but we don't have to run the business ourselves. My dad is trying to start a factory now and doesn't have the energy. Anyway, with the stores, food won't be a problem. This store in town won't close either. We can find someone to help with the delivery and it should be able to take care of the business. Anyway, looking at my dad's business, if he makes enough money, we can close the wholesale department here."
The two compared the information and both felt that they had to buy the store in the mall. Having the store would be a guarantee for their future life.
Everything was going well for Pu Xiang, except that Mo Yang said he wanted to date her, which made her not know how to face it for a while.
Mo Yang is not bad looking, about 1.8 meters tall. In the countryside where most people are shorter, he is definitely eye-catching.
In addition, his facial features are not bad, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which gives him the traditional handsome look.
After knowing each other for these years, she found that Mo Yang had a good personality and was reliable. In addition, he was surprisingly conservative when it came to the opposite sex and there was nothing messy about him, which she thought was good.
Unlike someone like Shi Dafu, she found the thought of him disgusting, and she was even afraid of getting sick if she had to have sex with someone like him.
Mo Yang is a good guy. He doesn't indulge in eating, drinking, whoring or gambling. He can do all the work at home and outside. It seems that it is really not easy to find someone better than him.
After Mo Yang "confessed" his love to Pu Xiang, she actually thought seriously about finding a partner.
It really doesn't matter whether you look for her or not, but if you do, her requirements don't seem to be too high. Anyway, she doesn't require a partner who is the kind of rich, romantic and domineering boss described in novels and TV shows of later generations.
She had never met that kind of person in real life.
It would be enough if I could be a fairly good normal person.
After all this, Pu Xiang suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with talking to Mo Yang about a partner.
At least she was not repulsed by Mo Yang. If it were some other men, she would feel uncomfortable once she thought about having close contact with them. She felt that she was not talking to the right person, but that she was being taken advantage of.
After Pu Xiang thought about this, he probably had an idea in his mind.
About two months after she got the house, Pu Xiang's house was renovated. She decorated it in the minimalist style of later generations, and did not use the "fancy" style that was popular nowadays.
There is a storage room and a cloakroom. I asked a master to make various storage racks. The same goes for the cloakroom. Except for the storage area at the top, the rest is made into a hanging area. Not a single wooden board is used. Anyway, the room is clean and tidy once the door is closed.
The floor was not made with the popular high-end wooden flooring, but was directly covered with floor tiles.
There is no closet in the room, just a bed and two bedside cabinets, and the space looks much larger.
Big white walls, no ceiling, no TV wall or TV cabinet, and not even a TV. There was just a set of sofas.
We bought enough electrical appliances for the kitchen and bathroom, which are also the places where we spent the most money on decorating the entire house.
The craftsman who did the decoration for Pu Xiang shook his head countless times during that period.
"It's not done this way. It doesn't look good... It's too simple. It's the same as not having any decoration..."
Pu Xiang stuffed several more packs of cigarettes into the master's pocket.
When the final result came out, Pu Xiang was extremely satisfied. The empty house was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that there was not much housework to do.
Shi Wenya and several people who were close to Pu Xiang all bought houses in the same residential complex. When they first saw Pu Xiang busy with the decoration, they thought she was very successful and wanted to refer to her for reference. However, they found out that her house was not worth any reference at all.
"Xiangxiang (Third Sister), if you are short of money, you can tell me. This decoration is too bad."
One or two of them were still trying to persuade Pu Xiang.
Pu Xiang was not moved at all. Instead, she advised them: "Don't make it too complicated. Look at the materials carefully. Some materials are not good for your body. It's better not to install them."
In the end, only Mo Yang and Mo Jingjing followed Pu Xiang's advice. Mo Jingjing, a reborn person, really couldn't stand the "outdated" decoration.
By the time Shi Wenya and the others had finished their decoration, the originally small house was now filled to the brim. Looking back at Pu Xiang's house, she felt it was bright and spacious as soon as she entered.
"Why does your house feel so big?"
"Hey, why don't you put a cloth on the sofa and just sit on it like this? What if it gets dirty?"
"These two potted trees are very beautiful. My house doesn't have enough space for them, but I would have planted two at least."
Buying a new house in the county town is definitely a big deal these days. You have to set up a banquet, invite relatives and friends to the new house to take a look, and then go to a nearby tavern for dinner together.
This time the whole village could talk about it for days.
Pu Xiang definitely would not put out the wine, so she picked a day and had dinner at home with Mo Yang and Mo Jingjing, as a way of warming up the house.
Eat at Puxiang for lunch and at Moyang for dinner. It’s convenient since they’re next door.
After the house was heated up, Pu Xiang was not in a hurry to move into the new home. She always felt that the smell in the newly renovated house had not yet dissipated.
Pu Xiang did not hold a wedding banquet and did not tell her family, but her mother Li Xiaocao came to her house on her own initiative.
She brought over a pair of "step-by-step" clothes hangers made of thin bamboo poles with red paper pasted on them.
"Third sister, put this in the new house, it will bring good luck."
