"Yes, she has just finished her meal and hasn't rested yet. Please come up with me."
Yan Rushan led people upstairs, and Zhong Jing and Zhong Jiaquan also wanted to go and take a look; however, as a father and brother, they were not as convenient as their mother to enter and leave their daughter and son-in-law's room at will. Zhong Jing could not do it, and the same was true for Zhong Jiaquan. They could only wait for Feng Jianhong to come down and tell them about Yuxiu's situation after taking a look.
When they reached the second floor and walked to the bedroom, Yan Rushan raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Knock knock knock... Yuxiu, the Zhong family's mother is here to see you."
"Come in." A clear voice came, and Yan Rushan pushed the door open and walked in, leading Feng Jianhong in. "Wife, are you full?"
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "I'm full, but it's a pity that I only ate two pieces of roast duck." There were only two slices of roast duck. Roast duck is harder than the confinement meal made at home, so she didn't dare to eat more and didn't dare to prepare more for her.
"You can eat whatever you want now that you're out of confinement." Yan Rushan pulled a stool from the corner for Feng Jianhong, and he sat down beside the bed. "Please sit down."
Feng Jianhong smiled and nodded at Yuxiu. "I won't sit down anymore. I came up to see you. We have to move out tomorrow. We've rented a house outside. Comrade Yan found it for us. It has big rooms and a spacious house. There's also a yard where we can grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. I'll send you some when they grow up. The food you buy outside isn't as delicious as the food you make yourself."
"No need to go through so much trouble. All the food at home comes from the countryside." Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and refused.
Feng Jianhong's eyes showed disappointment. "It would cost less to raise them at home."
"Raising chickens and ducks is quite expensive, and it's different in the city than in the countryside. In the countryside, we have our own food, and we can even stock the mountains and rivers, so it's not expensive. In the city, first you have to pay for the chicks and ducklings, and then there's the food they need, which is a considerable expense. The city doesn't even have wormwood or anything like that to feed them, so you don't need to raise those. Isn't it better to focus on your business than to raise these little critters?"
"Really? I didn't think of that." Feng Jianhong's face froze slightly. She had indeed not considered the difficulties of raising chickens and ducks in the city. "Then don't raise them?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and said, "If you want to eat meat, just buy it. Why raise meat if you can buy it with money?" Raising meat is not as good as buying it from the market. The present is different from the later generations. People nowadays are relatively simple and honest. The chickens and ducks they raise are all good. There are rarely those with diseased chickens or ducks to sell.
It was not like this in later generations. In later generations, there were many chickens and ducks raised as feed, and they would be fattened in order to make money; there were even people selling sick chickens and ducks.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. If I don't raise chickens and ducks, I'll grow some vegetables."
"It's okay to grow vegetables. There are people growing vegetables in our compound. We also grow some vegetables in the flower bed downstairs, so we can eat them at home and don't have to buy everything outside." Although growing vegetables in a rural area is not as convenient as in the countryside, it is not difficult if you do it seriously. For the sake of air and environment, if you don't apply fertilizer, the vegetables will grow slowly and be thin, but the advantage is that you can save money.
It is a pleasure to have someone who likes to grow flowers, plants and vegetables.
Feng Jianhong smiled broadly, "That's right, buying groceries outside is not as comfortable as eating at home."
As long as you are happy.
Zhong Yuxiu chatted with her for a few words, and then, using the excuse of being tired, asked Yan Rushan to send the people away. After the Zhong family left, Yan Rushan said something to the old man and went upstairs.
"You bought a bungalow and rented it to them. Aren't you afraid they might tamper with the walls and furnishings?"
"It's okay. We're not going to live there. So if it gets ruined, it gets ruined. I think they know their limits." He's not short of money. He buys the house just for investment and to make his wife happy.
The man's answer made people speechless. He really didn't care about the house. "Don't regret it if you really ruin it."
"I don't regret it. If they destroy it, I'll kick them out and I'll tear it down and rebuild it. It can also be built in the style we like. It will be our second home, how great." Yan Rushan joked.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and chuckled. Since he didn't care, she didn't care either. She just hoped that the Zhong family was truly knowledgeable and sensible, and not as they seemed on the surface.
......
Early in the morning, before daybreak, the Zhong family left the compound; they boarded the bus with the help of the roadside lights. After arriving at the destination, Zhong Jing took his wife and son to inventory the goods and decided to take the clothes out for a test run first.
After picking and choosing, they found that basically every piece was similar, with the same quality and beautiful patterns; they were not sure, so they simply gave up choosing and just took it based on their estimate.
"Mom and Dad, the prices of clothes in Jiangnan are different. Should we set a price? We can't sell them all at the same price, right?" Zhong Jiaquan reminded the old couple, and they just thought of this.
Jiangnan is the name of the clothing factory founded by Yan Rushan. After the shoe factory was opened, it was also named Jiangnan and became a series of factories.
Zhong Jing smiled and praised, "Working outside does have its benefits. After seeing the world, your wooden head can think of something new."
Zhong Jiaquan smiled innocently. Feng Jianhong was holding two different dresses and was at a loss. "They both look great. How do I price them?"
"Didn't they give us a price list for Jiangnan? Let's go down a bit."
The family of three took out the price list, on which all the clothes that had been produced had prices; this was also what Zhong Yuxiu meant, that there was a clear record of what clothes had been produced, in which year and month, and that was the heritage of the factory.
"The one with the crane seal is actually selling for 180 yuan each, and this one with no special features is also selling for more than 100 yuan. Oh my God!" Feng Jianhong was stunned holding the price list.
Zhong Jing was not surprised at all. Clothes in big cities were expensive. He had seen it the last time they went out for a trip. Not to mention clothes that cost one or two hundred yuan, there were even clothes that cost thousands of yuan. The key was who could afford it.
"Hurry up and set a price. Write down the price of each type of clothing. Clean it up and sell the cheaper clothes first. Take some of the more expensive ones and put them on the stall. If you can sell them, sell them. If you can't, forget it."
After a busy period, they finally reduced the price by half; items that sold for more than fifty yuan in the market were only sold for thirty or forty yuan, and items that sold for one or two hundred yuan were controlled within a hundred yuan.
Regardless, they made money.
As they each memorized the prices, Zhong Jiaquan thought of something. "These clothes have different prices. The factory staff didn't mention this when we picked them up. I'm afraid they gave us the same price just for my brother-in-law's sake."
"That's true," Feng Jianhong realized belatedly. "The market price is different, so the purchase price must be different too. Should we talk to our son-in-law about it?"
Zhong Jing pondered for a moment and waved his hand, "Don't say anymore, my son-in-law must know. When we sell it, we can buy some good things for our grandson."
"That's fine. I'll have to ask clearly next time I buy goods."
Yan Rushan's friends were willing to give a low price for Yan Rushan's sake, but they couldn't accept it with a clear conscience.
Zhong Jing and the Zhong family had no objections. They selected some clothes and put them aside. At dawn, someone came to pick them up to set up the stall. The locations they chose were outside major factories and universities.
