Wei Xuan arrived at the school gate just in time for the children to get out of school. Yuanyuan was standing on tiptoe in a line with her classmates looking outside, and she immediately saw her mother approaching.
"Mom, I'm here."
Seeing her daughter waving at her excitedly, Wei Xuan walked over with a smile, greeted the teacher and led her out.
"Mom, why did it take you and Dad so long to come back? I missed you so much."
Wei Xuan took her hand and said with a smile, "Aren't you back? Have you been obedient during these days at grandma's house?"
"Yes, grandma said I am the most obedient."
The mother and daughter walked home talking and laughing. As soon as Wei Xuan entered the house, she remembered that there was no vegetables at home. She was about to go out to buy some when Jiang Che came back with vegetables.
"Where did you get it from?"
...
...
"My mother gave it to me," Jiang Che handed the dish to Wei Xuan and looked around the room and asked, "Where's my daughter?"
"In the room," Wei Xuan had just finished speaking when Yuanyuan, who was looking at clothes in the room, ran out and said, "Dad!"
"Hey," Jiang Che picked up his daughter and said, "Do you miss your dad?"
"I do. I do."
"Have you seen the car your father bought you?"
"What car?" Yuanyuan asked curiously.
At this time, Wei Xuan explained: "We just got home, and we haven't had time to show her the car yet."
Jiang Che put his daughter down and pointed to the bicycle on the balcony and showed it to Yuanyuan: "Dad bought you a bicycle. Will I take you downstairs to ride it?"
"Okay." Children love new things, and they are happy to play.
Seeing them going downstairs, Wei Xuan quickly told them, "Come back in an hour for dinner."
"Okay. Go away, girl."
While no one was at home, Wei Xuan planned to do some simple cleaning.
After being away for a long time, there is a lot of dust in the house.
Fortunately, my house is not big, otherwise it would be difficult to clean.
After spending half an hour cleaning and soaking the sheets in water, Wei Xuan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Jiang Che didn't bring back much food, just a piece of pork belly, a head of Chinese cabbage, a handful of beans, and a whole block of tofu.
After the pork belly is tempered, it is just enough to stir-fry two dishes.
As for tofu, adding two eggs is just right to make egg and tofu soup.
As soon as the food was put into the pot, Wei Xuan heard some noise coming from the door.
The father and daughter came up so quickly? Just as he was about to stick his head out to ask, he heard Cheng Shao's voice in the living room.
Before Wei Xuan could think about it, Jiang Che came to the kitchen.
He asked Wei Xuan: "Cheng Shao is here. He will probably stay at home for dinner tonight. Will there be enough food?"
"Just the two dishes you brought back, and a soup."
Jiang Che took a look and said, "That's it. I'm too lazy to buy more. I saw he brought a cold dish. There should be some pickled vegetables at home. Together, it can be considered four dishes and one soup."
Wei Xuan nodded: "There are more. Go ahead, the food will be ready soon."
Fortunately, the portions of stir-fried cabbage with meat and stir-fried beans with meat are quite large, so they are not too shabby when served on the table.
When Wei Xuan took the dishes out, Cheng Shao thanked her first: "Sister-in-law, Qianqian asked me to thank you. She said she likes all the clothes you picked for her."
"I'm glad you like it. It's just that there are not enough dishes tonight. Please don't be disgusted."
Cheng Shao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't dislike you at all, it's just that I came too suddenly."
"Okay, let's eat. You are not a stranger, so there is no need to be so polite between us."
Cheng Shao felt relieved after hearing Jiang Che's words.
"Yes, don't treat me as an outsider. I came here today not only to thank my sister-in-law, but also because I heard that Brother Jiang just came back from Yangcheng, and I wanted to ask Brother Jiang about things in the south."
Cheng Shao returned home in the afternoon. He heard from his wife that Brother Jiang came to see him today and that he came to give her a gift he brought back from the south. He couldn't sit still.
First, he was curious about why Jiang Che went to the south. Second, he also wanted to find Jiang Che to learn about the situation in the south. No matter how much he heard from his friends, he could not trust Jiang Che as much as he could with a word.
Jiang Che went to see Cheng Shao this afternoon, intending to have a serious talk with him about this matter. When he was asked, he told him everything without reservation.
Including why he went there, what he saw during his trip to the South, and his views and thoughts on the South.
Cheng Shao just listened to him silently, and waited until he finished before saying, "According to what you said, Brother Jiang, there are indeed more opportunities in the south than here."
Jiang Che was so thirsty that he drank some water and took a bite of food before nodding and saying, "There are a lot of opportunities. It's mainly because the area is developing rapidly. But, for people like us who have no money and no connections, it's useless to go there. It's hard to make a fortune there. It's better to stay in Beijing. We know the area well."
Cheng Shao understood: "Brother Jiang means that he is not optimistic about developing in the south."
"Not entirely," Jiang Che shook his head, put down his chopsticks and said, "Everyone has their own situation. For example, I have a store and a job in Beijing, and I earn a lot every month. I don't need to leave my hometown and start over somewhere else. But if it's another place where life is more difficult, I think going to the south is a good choice. There are many job opportunities there. Even if you don't have an education, you can earn a lot of money by moving bricks on a construction site. At least you won't starve to death."
After thinking about it, Jiang Che said, "Or like the family across from me, those who have money and connections in the south can also seize the opportunity to make a fortune. Although I choose to stay in Beijing, I also plan to go to the south more often when I have time. There is indeed a fast development there and many opportunities."
Cheng Shao seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and said to Jiang Che, "Brother Jiang, if you go there again next time, remember to bring me along. Let me go and see it for myself."
"That's no problem, it's all small stuff." Jiang Che liked Cheng Shao very much. He thought this young man was very loyal, so he told him so much.
In the evening, after Cheng Shao left, Jiang Che took a shower and came into the house. Wei Xuan asked him, "Does Cheng Shao still plan to go south?"
"I don't think he will go," Jiang Che sighed, "Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. The rest is up to him to choose."
Jiang Che's trip to the south not only made him feel the rapid development and abundant opportunities in the south, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the profession of profiteer.
In fact, speculation is very normal in this era, just like what Wu Yun did.
But the traders in the south mainly resell electrical appliances, watches, and even valuable items such as cars. To put it more seriously, this is smuggling, and they are all smuggled in from Hong Kong.
You have to know that the greater the benefits, the greater the risks.
Jiang Che was also afraid that Cheng Shao would make a mistake after going to the south. After all, in Jiang Che's mind, Cheng Shao was the most courageous person he had ever met.
Take the incident with Bian Qianqian for example. A normal timid person would not do that.
If you are a trafficker and you don't get caught once or twice, you are lucky. But the worst thing is that you will not stop after you have tasted the sweetness. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.
It was because of this worry that Jiang Che made it clear to Cheng Shao. If Cheng Shao still decided to go to the south, Jiang Che would have no choice. Everyone has their own ideas and choices. Maybe Cheng Shao could really do something big. If he stopped him, wouldn't he be ruining his future?
Jiang Che didn't want to keep talking about other people's affairs, so he changed the subject and asked Wei Xuan if she had any ideas about the decoration of the clothing store.
Wei Xuan told her plan.
Decorative lights? Jiang Che seemed to have seen this in Pengcheng.
"Really? Where can I buy it?"
Jiang Che thought for a moment and said, "It seems that they are available in the building materials market. These lights should not be cheap, right? Do we have enough money?"
Wei Xuan had no idea whether the lights were expensive nowadays. When she heard about the building materials market, she asked, "Does the building materials market sell tiles?"
This thing is hard to buy in Beijing, but you should be able to buy it in Pengcheng if you have money.
Jiang Che nodded: "Yes, there are many things there that I have never seen. If you want to buy them, I can ask Brother Hong for you. He should have connections to get them."
"Then go ask tomorrow night."
Jiang Che frowned and asked her, "You want these things now, it's too late, right? It will take at least ten days to complete the decoration according to what you said, plus the time it takes to ship the goods, half a month has passed."
Wei Xuan waved her hand: "It's okay, all the goods I bought are winter clothes. It's only autumn now, so it's too late to wait for half a month to sell them all."
Since his wife said everything was fine, Jiang Che felt relieved and said, "Then I'll go ask for you tomorrow."
"Well, don't forget it then."
Wei Xuan was so happy whenever she thought that she would soon own a clothing store of her own. When she woke up the next morning, she had a smile on her face.
After sending her daughter to school, Wei Xuan rode her bike to inspect the four stores before heading to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Lu Fangfang saw Wei Xuan finally coming back and said excitedly, "Boss Madam, if you don't come back, I'm afraid the reputation of our braised food will be completely ruined in my hands."
Wei Xuan smiled and said, "Is it that serious?"
"Yes, come and try it. It tastes much worse than what you made."
Seeing that Lu Fangfang seemed really nervous, Wei Xuan had no choice but to take a bite.
"How about it?"
Wei Xuan comforted her, "It's OK. I didn't taste much difference."
It definitely won't be too different, it's just seasoning the old soup again. Wei Xuan has been making braised food for so long, she has a rough idea of how much ingredients to add every day.
Before leaving, she gave the prepared ingredients to Lu Fangfang. As long as she followed Wei Xuan's instructions, even if there was a little difference, it would not be very obvious.
The reason she was so nervous was simply because she was under too much mental pressure. Now that Wei Xuan said there was no problem, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Section 73
"Okay, okay, go get to work. I'll do the seasoning today."
Lu Fangfang was eager to finally get rid of this heavy responsibility. She immediately slipped out to continue her work.
Wei Xuan shook her head in amusement, washed her hands and focused on preparing the braised soup.
