【Yunyun, Zhanxinyue】
[I've been in Hong Kong for over three months now, and the hot pot restaurant has had a smooth opening and is already profitable.]
Rong Yan's letter was very long and contained many interesting anecdotes.
For example, on the day the new store opened, Rong Yu wanted to cause trouble.
Rong Yan caught him red-handed and punished him by making him wash dishes in the kitchen for three days.
For example, there was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner who drank all the broth when he ate hot pot for the first time.
People there prefer clear soup, while only a few from the mainland like to order spicy soup, which makes them sweat profusely and exclaim how satisfying it is.
The shop's decor was designed according to the drawings provided by Chen Yunyun. Crystal chandeliers illuminated the shop brightly, and there were rustic solid wood tables and intricately carved wooden windows.
The entire hot pot restaurant is elegant and sophisticated.
Besides the unique decorations, Chen Yunyun also introduced some small desserts, such as fried milk and stir-fried rice cakes, which won over the locals' stomachs.
The store is now packed with customers every day.
Seats are hard to come by.
Rong Yan set up a landline in the shop, and the phone was ringing off the hook every day, all for reservations.
Chen Yunyun was overjoyed.
More people means more money!
Who would turn down money?
At the end of the letter, besides some mushy words from a certain man, he also revealed his desire to invest in the film industry.
Upon reading this, Chen Yunyun couldn't help but admire Rong Yan's foresight.
Her success was purely due to the experience of predecessors and the help of a systematic approach.
Yung Yen was able to see the potential of the Hong Kong film industry based solely on his own judgment; he was truly remarkable.
Chen Yunyun also wrote a reply and specially asked someone to deliver it to her.
Today is the end of the semester, and the children have come home from their holiday after finishing their exams.
How did the exam go?
Xu Jingtian nodded obediently, while Hu Zi scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Can godmother stay for dinner at your house tonight?"
"When I get home, my parents will definitely keep asking me questions."
Chen Yunyun was amused by the boy, "Alright, then you can help your godmother start the fire later."
Xu Jingrun is taking the entrance exam for high school. He will be starting middle school in September.
He was exceptionally intelligent; he even taught himself up to junior high school level.
The county's educational conditions were inadequate, and his homeroom teacher worried that the child wouldn't learn anything, so she suggested that Chen Yunyun send him to a school in the province.
Chen Yunyun is also worried about this matter.
How could she not worry about Xu Jingrun going to study in the provincial capital alone?
This child has been quiet and reserved since childhood, and has become even more so recently.
How could Chen Yunyun feel at ease sending such a young boy to study in the provincial capital alone?
“Mother, I won’t go to the provincial capital; I’ll study in the county.”
Perhaps sensing Chen Yunyun's dilemma, Xu Jingrun sensibly took the initiative to speak.
Can the educational conditions in the province and the county be the same?
Chen Yunyun naturally hopes that her child will study hard and change his own destiny.
She looked Xu Jingrun up and down carefully. The child had just turned ten last month and had grown taller.
Now it's as high as her nose.
"You must strive to do well and study hard."
The National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) was reinstated in 1977, and it has been 71 years since
There are only six years left.
Chen Yunyun stretched out her thin arm and touched the top of Xu Jingrun's head. "Mother has decided that you should go to study in the provincial capital."
The boy slightly raised his eyes and could just see the fine lines that had appeared at the corners of Chen Yunyun's eyes.
He clenched his fists, his deep eyes swirling with turbulent emotions, which he then concealed when Chen Yunyun looked at him.
"Mother, I will try my best."
At the end of August, the child's grades came out.
Xu Jingrun and Xu Jingtian both got full marks, and Chen Yunyun rewarded the children with a tomato hot pot feast.
Crisp celery bits and plump beef chunks form the base, topped with a bowl of rich tomato soup.
It's tangy and refreshing, and it whets the appetite.
So fresh!
Even Chen Yunyun had a great appetite and ate until she was stuffed.
She poured a glass of water infused with cherry sugar and discussed it with the children, saying, "Next month we'll go to the provincial capital to buy an apartment, so it'll be more convenient for my brother to study there."
"If it's suitable, the county should also buy one; the food in the school cafeteria is terrible."
"You are all at an age where you are growing, so you must eat and drink well."
I went to the capital at the beginning of the year. I had enough money with me, but not enough time. And just then, I found Rong Yan again.
I didn't buy a house in the capital.
Now that the children need the books, Chen Yunyun wants to buy them in the provincial capital and the county town first.
I'll buy property in the capital once the profits from Hong Kong hot pot restaurants improve or the profits from fish farms increase.
Xu Jingsheng tilted his head. "Why does Mother keep talking about buying a house?"
"Of course, a house is a home."
"Housing prices will definitely get more and more expensive in the future."
"When you make money in the future, you should buy several more apartments in big cities."
As she was talking, Chen Yunyun put beef on the children's plates.
It seems that Xu Jingsheng has reached the age where he should receive some enlightenment.
Some time ago, Mr. Shu's family sent a lot of things from the capital, especially the painting copybooks given by Mrs. Hu, which the boy loves.
Since he has a talent for painting and loves to learn, Chen Yunyun plans to cultivate his artistic talent and sometimes let him go out to see the scenery.
It was supposed to be a field trip.
This child does have some talent in painting; he drew several farming scenes that are quite impressive.
Chen Yunyun received gifts from Mr. Shu's family, so she naturally prepared a lot of things in return.
The mountain delicacies she catalyzed with her Shennong magic, the hot pot broth she personally prepared, and all sorts of trinkets rarely seen in the city.
Inside the thick package, Chen Yunyun stuffed some money and Liu Jiyuan's contact information from the research institute.
