Chapter 26: It's time to stimulate



"Thank you, Auntie."

Tian Chengcheng was very grateful.

It is a good thing to be able to pick up old clothes at this time, and it does not mean any discrimination.

Most of the clothes worn by rural residents are still patched up with patches, and children's clothes are worn over and over again until they are so torn that they can no longer be patched.

"You're welcome. Have a drink of water first. I'll go cook. After we're done, I'll take you to the factory."

"Auntie, please don't be busy. We will just come and get acquainted with the place. We will go out for a walk first. We will come back to see you in the afternoon and go look at the cloth with you."

Tian Chengcheng was determined to go out, so Luo Hongyan persuaded her and sent the three of them out.

Tian Hengyuan had a passbook and 460 yuan in cash in his pocket. He walked on the road, looking around with his hands covering his pockets.

"Uncle, if you do that, others will know that you have money."

Tian Chengcheng said with a smile.

Tian Hengyuan's appearance is really - a bit exaggerated.

"Is it obvious? I'm afraid it will be lost or stolen. What should I do?" Tian Hengyuan became even more nervous and spoke in a low voice.

"Uncle, no one can take the money in the passbook. Even if the passbook is lost, you can still apply for a new one with your household registration book. Otherwise, you can give me the cash. I'm a child and no one pays attention to me."

Tian Hengyuan thought about it and it made sense. Who would have thought of letting a child hold the money?

He immediately looked around, pulled Tian Chengcheng to a secluded corner, took out all the money and gave it to her, "Fubao, you have to be ready."

"Give me four hundred and you can take the rest. Uncle, you will be the pillar of the family in the future. We will also do business, and there will definitely be a lot of money. You need to adapt to it."

She is a child and it is inconvenient for her to deal with many things, so Tian Hengyuan has to step in.

Tian Hengyuan hesitated for a moment, "Fubao, we are rich now. We can support you to go to college in the next few years. You can find a good job in the future and live a simple life. Business is not something that ordinary people like us can do."

Tian Chengcheng didn't expect Tian Hengyuan to have such an idea.

"Uncle, people who do business are just ordinary people. Just figure it out slowly and you'll get it after doing it a few times."

"Fubao must be hungry. Let's eat first and talk slowly."

Tian Hengyuan picked up Tian Chengcheng and changed the subject.

They already have more than 5,000 yuan, and the 200 yuan interest each year is enough for the three of them.

Tian Chengcheng understood that Tian Hengyuan didn't want to do business and he didn't have that intention.

Well, since you don’t have any thoughts, let’s stimulate them.

So, Tian Chengcheng pointed with her little hand at a four-story hotel and said, "Uncle, let's go eat there."

"...Fubao, let's go eat somewhere else. The food in that little restaurant over there is just as delicious."

When Tian Hengyuan saw the words "Xinglong Hotel", the corner of his mouth twitched.

Although he had never eaten at a big restaurant, he had heard from others that the food in big restaurants was very expensive, and any meal there could cost as much as his living expenses for a year.

Tian Chengcheng pouted, "Uncle, can't we have something delicious? Let's try it first. If it's delicious, let's take some back for grandma so that she can have something delicious too, okay?"

Tian Hengyuan wanted to refuse, but when he saw Tian Chengcheng's big eyes full of desire, the words of refusal came to his lips but he didn't say them.

"Okay, let's have a meal." Tian Hengyuan said.

"Thank you, uncle. I will definitely be obedient." Tian Chengcheng immediately said happily.

Tian Hengyuan looked at the happy little face and felt happy too.

I thought, how expensive can a meal be?

The gold bracelet was picked up by Fubao. She wanted to have a good meal, so she treated it to a reward.

However, when he got the menu, he instantly regretted it and stammered nervously, trying to persuade Tian Chengcheng to leave.

Tian Chengcheng pretended not to notice and happily drooled at the pictures on the menu.

"This chicken is golden yellow and looks delicious. What's this red thing? Wow, it's a big crab, and this fish is so huge."

"This should be roast duck, and this is shrimp. It's much bigger than the shrimp in the river." Fu Xinhan tried to explain.

Tian Chengcheng raised her little face and looked at Tian Hengyuan, her eyes sparkling. "Uncle, can I have roast duck and prawns? And this fish looks delicious too. I'm drooling."

What Tian Hengyuan saw was the price above.

One meal costs him a year's living expenses. This is not an exaggeration at all. No, it costs him two years' living expenses.

"Fubao, that just looks good, but it doesn't necessarily taste good. Look at this stewed tofu, it looks good, and this tomato and egg soup..."

Before Tian Hengyuan could say anything, Tian Chengcheng's eyes were already filled with tears. She pursed her lips and tried not to cry. She asked softly, "Uncle, don't you want to eat here? Or let's go. It's Fubao who is ignorant. I will never come here to eat again."

this……

Tian Hengyuan couldn't stand it any more and said hurriedly, "Don't cry, Fubao. Your uncle is worried that you can't eat such greasy food. As long as Fubao wants to eat, your uncle will buy it for you. Comrade, give me a fried roast duck, and these braised prawns, braised sea bass, and stewed tofu. Let's have these four first."

The waiter looked at the three people's clothes and hesitated for a moment.

These dishes are quite expensive, not something they can afford given their attire.

"Well, let me tell you the price first. These four dishes cost a total of thirty-two dollars." The waiter said with a smile.

I don't look down on them, I'm just afraid that they can't afford it.

Tian Chengcheng directly took out four big unity notes from his pocket and placed them on the table. "Uncle, is that enough?"

"Okay, I'll go take your order." The waiter turned and left.

Tian Hengyuan looked at the big unity pictures on the table and felt a little uneasy.

Four dishes cost more than 30 yuan, he really felt guilty.

Fu Xinhan sat next to Tian Chengcheng and continued to look at the menu.

He had rarely seen money since he was a child. He usually worked hard in the fields and mountains to make a living, so he didn't have a clear concept of money.

But he knew that more than thirty dollars was a lot of money.

The wine my stepfather drinks is only fifty cents a pound.

He silently wrote down the dishes he had just ordered, thinking that when he made money in the future, he would treat Fubao to these delicious foods every day.

Four dishes were served one after another.

Served with the stir-fried roast duck were paper-thin pancakes, thinly shredded green onions, and half a bowl of fermented black bean paste.

"Wow, I'm drooling." Tian Chengcheng smacked her lips. She was really greedy.

This little body was severely deficient due to years of hunger and lack of nutrition, which caused her to drool when she saw delicious food.

Fu Xinhan was not much better. As soon as the dish was served, he smelled the rich aroma and his mouth was watering.

"Fubao, Hanhan, one duck leg each." Tian Hengyuan pulled off the duck leg, and the two children each took one and pulled the duck's neck for him.

He couldn't help it, after all, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

Tian Chengcheng grabbed a small pancake, put a layer of crispy duck skin on it, put a few green onions in it, dipped it in some bean paste, rolled it up and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's delicious. This is the best roast duck I've ever had."
