From the first case of the SARS virus in early December 2002 to the beginning of January 2003, when several cases of medical workers were infected, Guangdong Province sent a team of experts to investigate.

For a whole month, there was basically no news coverage, and the people naturally did not know that the SARS epidemic had arrived!

And this time period is also the last layout of Liu Xiahui, so that relatives in various cities have rented eight temporary shops at high prices in areas that have long been optimistic, and the location of these shops is mainly close to large pharmacies and large supermarkets.

Then, slowly transfer the banyan root and white vinegar in the suburban warehouses to these shops in batches.

At the same time, many businesses under Yanagi Hui's name, employees all wore masks at his request.

Although the SARS virus has only appeared in Guangdong Province at present, and there are no related cases in Guizhou Province, Liu Xiahui, who has experienced the coronavirus, does not dare to be careless at all.

In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful, anyway, he has already wholesaled a lot of things like masks and disinfectant, and he has already distributed them to all the stores under his name.

In fact, the SARS virus is very contagious, but compared with the coronaviruses in later generations, its incubation period is too short, so it is quite easy to control.

Unlike the 14-day incubation period of the coronavirus, which was later in the world, the difficulty of controlling it increased geometrically.

In his previous life, Liu Shimota experienced the SARS period, and also experienced the period when the coronavirus was raging around the world.

Compared with the two, it feels like the coronavirus is more terrifying.

When the SARS virus broke out, Liu Shita Hui didn't feel much at all, and it can be said that the ignorant were fearless!

At that time, the entire Liu family, and the third uncle and third aunt had a deep understanding of this aspect, and called relatives not to contact people who came back from Guangdong Province, even if it was a car with a license plate in Guangdong Province.

However, there is only such an understanding, and there is no mention of wearing masks and disinfection at all.

In the entire Hakuju Prefecture, there are not many people who can wear masks.

Not to mention Baizhou County, even in Guangdong Province, the hardest-hit area of the epidemic, few people would wear masks at that time.

Therefore, there were many commodities that increased in price at that time, but the most important epidemic prevention necessities such as masks and disinfectants were not cared for, which may make those young people in later generations laugh and lose their big teeth.

But in this era, such a strange thing really happened.

There are many reasons for this, and the most important reason is that the public lacks medical knowledge, and they do not know that the SARS virus is transmitted through respiration, nor do they know that wearing a mask can play a protective role.

Since there is no awareness of this, it is natural that you will not think of wearing a mask.

Moreover, the information dissemination of this era is far from being compared with that of later generations.

Later, the Internet developed, and someone in the United States farted a fart, and it could be spread all over the world within three minutes. Unlike now, even if it is a major event happening in the same city, many people are at a loss.

Therefore, as the employees of many businesses under Yanagi Hui's name have put on masks, customers who come to dine and buy cooked food feel inexplicable.

Then I asked the employees who wore masks to work, and the customers learned that there was an infectious disease in Guangdong Province, and the boss asked them to wear masks to and from work just in case.

Hearing the employees' answers, the customers' reactions were mixed, some felt that the boss was making a big fuss, and some felt that the boss was doing a good job, anyway, no matter what kind of reaction, the only thing that was the same was that the customers did not mean to buy masks to wear.

......

During the winter vacation, Liu Xiahui personally went to pick up his girlfriend Tang Xiaomin to meet his parents at home.

Because Yanagishita Hui did a good job of secrecy, it was only now that his parents knew that he already had a girlfriend!

At the first glance of Tang Xiaomin, Liu's father and Liu's mother felt quite satisfied, this girl was handsome and worthy of her own son.

Of course, it's just that the appearance is worthy, the personality and temperament, etc., you have to continue to observe to know.

Tang Xiaomin has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is very fond of her elders, and she will do the same when she grows up, as long as she is willing, she can get along well with anyone.

Although it is the first time to meet her boyfriend's parents, she has her own set of coping methods, anyway, within two days, Tang Xiaomin and her sister Liu Xiaxue are like sisters, and they are also very fond of Liu's father and mother.

In the next few days, Liu's father, Liu's mother, and Liu Xiaxue specially accompanied Tang Xiaomin to visit the business under Liu Xiahui's name.

"Xiaomin, this is the fish village opened by Xiaohui half a year ago, and the business is not bad at present!"

"Xiao Min, these few companies that sell roasted white cuts are all Xiaohui's business!"

"Xiaomin, this chicken farm has more than 100 acres of land, raising tens of thousands of chickens, and the daily sales volume is about 3,100, which is currently Xiaohui's most profitable business!"

"Xiaomin, this is a fish pond of about ten acres, which was bought by Xiaohui, and currently has tens of thousands of fish, as well as more than 1,000 geese and more than 1,000 ducks!"

"Xiaomin, this is the most luxurious hotel in our county, this is not rented, but Xiaohui bought the land and built it himself, and the current business is not bad!"

"Xiaomin, this mutton hot pot is also Xiaohui's business, I heard Xiaohui say that you like to eat hot pot very much, and the spicy hot pot here, you must like it very much!"

"Xiaomin, this dog meat hot pot ......"

"Xiaomin, this ace pigeon soup ......"

"Xiaomin, this spicy chicken pot, spicy sheep's trotter pot ......"

"Xiaomin, this white cut stall, this burning stall, all of them are Xiaohui's!"

“......”

When Tang Xiaomin toured all the businesses under Liu Xiahui's name, she realized how awesome her boyfriend was!

She is still young now, and what she values when looking for a boyfriend is her eyes and feelings, and she doesn't care too much about her boyfriend's family background, unlike her parents.

But this doesn't mean she's stupid, on the premise that her eyes and feelings are great, if she still has a lot of money, then this object is even more perfect.

When she came to her boyfriend's house, Tang Xiaomin really had a good time.

Eating all kinds of food during the day, and learning from your boyfriend at night, this little day is a good time.

So much so that it was almost the New Year, and Tang Xiaomin had no intention of going home, until her parents called to urge her, and she had to put the matter of going home for the New Year on the agenda.

No way, although her parents are very satisfied with her boyfriend, but the two are not married after all, and they are not even engaged, it is okay to come to her boyfriend's house to play, but it is definitely not okay to stay for the New Year.

When she went back, it was naturally Yanashita Hui who personally sent her home.

And Liu's mother prepared a lot of local products for the future daughter-in-law, mainly the gray water dumplings, sweet rice dumplings and special fruits such as Shatian pomelo that are necessary for the New Year in Baizhou County.

Of course, tobacco, tea, wine and dried seafood must be indispensable!

So, a few days before the Spring Festival, Liu Xiahui filled a full box of gifts and sent his girlfriend back to his hometown in Qinhu Town.

Sending his girlfriend back, there is no doubt that Liu Xiahui was warmly welcomed by the Tang family again.

It's just that the Spring Festival is approaching, and he doesn't want to stay for a long time, so he only stays for one night, and then goes home again.

After Liu Xiahui left, a group of relatives surrounded Tang Xiaomin and began to ask her what she had seen in the Liu family!

"Xiaomin, how does it feel to go to your boyfriend's house for the first time, are his parents and sister good to you?" Tang Xishi was the first to ask.

Tang Xiaomin said with a smile on his face: "His parents and sister have very good personalities, and they are also very good to me, I have been there for so many days, and the family has accompanied me everywhere every day, and also took me to visit the restaurants and farms under Xiaohui's name, which is very fun!"

Tang Nanshan asked: "Didn't Xiaohui say last time that he had a few restaurants and farms, Xiaomin, have you been to see them?"

Tang Xiaomin nodded and said, "Well, I've seen it all!"

Huang Xiuya asked with concern: "How big is the scale of the restaurant and the farm, and how is the business?"

Tang Xiaomin said proudly: "That guy is quite low-key, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes this time, I wouldn't have known that his business was so big."

He has one of the most luxurious hotels in their county, which he bought and built on his own land, and there are five floors of underground parking lots, and I heard that the construction area is nearly 10,000 square meters.

In addition, there is a very large mutton hot pot restaurant in the county, as well as a dog meat hot pot, a pigeon king soup shop, a spicy chicken pot, a spicy sheep's trotter pot, and several roast stalls and white cut stalls, and the business is very good!

In addition, in the provincial capital, he also has a fish village and five roasted white cut shops.

As for breeding, there is a fish pond of about 10 acres in the provincial capital, which was also bought, and currently raises tens of thousands of fish, more than 1,000 geese and more than 1,000 ducks.

There is also a chicken farm of more than 100 acres, raising tens of thousands of chickens in total, and listening to his mother, selling about 3,100 chickens every day is his most profitable business at present!

And then there's my hometown, I heard that there is a fish pond, a chicken farm, and a duck farm, but the scale is not large, and I haven't seen it, so I won't talk about it!"

All the relatives were dumbfounded.

They have no idea how profitable the others are, and the only thing that is supported by data is the chicken farm.

What is the concept of being able to sell about 3,100 chickens a day?

They are all in business, although they are not engaged in breeding, but the business is all the same, and any estimate of the number can make them stunned.

According to the minimum profit, this chicken farm alone has an income of tens of thousands of dollars a day, which is 300,000 yuan a month and 3.6 million yuan a year.

It's just the lowest estimate, and there is such a horrible income.

If you estimate according to the normal profit, if you count the big hotel with a construction area of tens of thousands of square meters and hot pot restaurants, how terrible will the income of that day be?

At this moment, everyone didn't dare to think about it, it was really terrible.

Compared with others, their business is simply not worth mentioning, even if Tang Dongying, who is worth tens of millions, has the highest income in a year, it is only seven or eight hundred thousand, and it is estimated that the income is less than a fraction of others!

Tang Dongying was really surprised and delighted, looked at the proud girl and asked, "Xiaomin, have you seen these with your own eyes?"

Tang Xiaomin said with an affirmative face: "Of course I saw it with my own eyes, I have eaten it in every store, and it tastes really delicious!"

Although her parents are already very satisfied with her boyfriend, she doesn't mind making her parents more satisfied with her boyfriend, so she reveals her boyfriend's family background to her relatives and let them know how good the boyfriend she has picked is!

After Tang Nanshan came back to his senses, he immediately suggested: "Big brother and sister-in-law, I think after the Spring Festival, you should meet Xiaohui's parents and finalize the marriage between Xiaohui and Xiaomin!"

Tang Xishi also echoed and said: "The second brother is right, the eldest brother and sister-in-law should meet Xiaohui's parents, and let these two little guys get engaged first!"

Tang Beihu said: "Yes, strike while the iron is hot, it is best to get engaged first!"

At this time, Huang Xiuya's heart was full of joy, her future son-in-law was so good, and her mother-in-law also followed, hearing the suggestions of Tang Nanshan and others, she couldn't help but feel a burst of heartbeat, looked at her husband and asked, "Husband, what do you think?"

Tang Dongying nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!"

Tang Xiaomin blushed when she heard this, she was going to get engaged so soon?

It feels pretty good!

......

Approaching the Spring Festival, some of the businesses under Liu Xiahui's name can be on holiday, and some are not on holiday, whether it is an employee with a holiday or an employee without a holiday, they are looking forward to one thing, that is, the year-end bonus.

It has become a practice for Yanagi to give year-end bonuses to employees every year.

Up to now, the year-end bonus has been much more formal than at the beginning, and it will be issued according to the usual work performance of employees.

Employees with good performance can get a lot of bonuses, while employees with poor performance also have bonuses, but the amount is definitely much less.

This year, the uncle and others have no way to come back for the New Year, they have to stay in Guangdong Province until they have all the banlan roots and white vinegar cleaned up, and they will come back.

And this time will come soon.

After the Spring Festival, Liu Xiahui, who knew that the business was about to start, sent a large number of people to his relatives in Guangdong Province, except for his own relatives, the rest of the people were friends in the village.

The total number of people has reached 86, and they are basically young and strong people who are more honest and responsible in the village.

The total number of these people, including their uncles, has reached 96.

Four cities, 24 people in each city, 8 relatives, and 16 friends in the village.

On average, each storefront is a relative with two village friends.

The purpose of this is very simple, to ensure that no one dares to mess with crooked thoughts to the greatest extent.

As early as 23 January, an investigation report was issued to all health and medical units in the province, urging the relevant units to pay attention to it and conscientiously grasp the prevention and control of the disease.

By February 9, there were more than 100 cases in the capital of Guangdong Province alone, many of them medical personnel.

At this time, the state also began to pay attention to it, and sent a team of experts to Guangdong Province to help find the cause of the disease and guide the prevention and control work.

Also on the same day, there were rumors that smoking white vinegar and drinking banlan root could prevent strange diseases.

As a result, the people began to rush to buy white vinegar and banyan root, which led to the rapid rise in the price of white vinegar and banyan root.

......

Guangdong Province

Capital.

Cloud White Zone.

Jiang Zilong always paid attention to the price of white vinegar and banlan root, and watched with his own eyes that the price of white vinegar for two yuan a bottle began to rise to five yuan, and then to ten yuan and twenty yuan.

The price of banlangen has also risen from 8.5 yuan for a big bag at the beginning to 15 yuan, 20 yuan, and 30 yuan.

He was stunned!

Not frightened by the price of white vinegar and banlangen, but by his cousin's clever calculation!

As early as half a year ago, his cousin began to lay out white vinegar and banlan root.

At that time, to be honest, Jiang Zilong was confused, and he didn't understand what was the use of his cousin letting so many people rush to Guangdong Province to stock up so much white vinegar and banlan root?

Now, all the puzzles have been solved, it turns out that the price of white vinegar and banlangen is really going to rise, and it is not a general price increase, but a double and a double to soar up!

Oh my God, my cousin is going to make a fortune this time!

When he saw that the price of white vinegar and banlan root had risen to twenty or thirty, Jiang Zilong decisively called his cousin, and then his cousin gave him a clear reply - start selling!

However, the sales price surprised Jiang Zilong.

White vinegar sells for 5 yuan a bottle, and banlangen sells for 15 yuan a big pack.

Jiang Zilong, who didn't know why at the time, said: "Xiaohui, this price is too cheap, right? Now many supermarkets and stores have sold out of white vinegar, and the price has also been speculated to 30 yuan a bottle, and this price is still rising, isn't it a big loss if we sell 5 yuan a bottle?"

And Liu Xia Hui replied to him like this, saying: "Cousin, you can't be so greedy, those merchants sit on the ground and raise prices, their hearts are already dark, we can't learn this."

As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, white vinegar can be sold for 5 yuan a bottle, and banlan root can be sold for 15 yuan a pack, which is already a big profit.

You can sell it as I say, and you must buy it in limited quantities, a person can only buy three bottles of white vinegar at most, three packs of banlan root, and don't sell it if you give more money, so as not to make wedding dresses for others!

You have to explain this to the customers, so that the customers should appreciate it, instead of doing good deeds and scolding people, understand?"

After listening to his cousin's words, Jiang Zilong immediately admired his five bodies, his cousin's open-minded pattern is really not comparable to him, no wonder his cousin can have today's achievements.

......

In addition to Jiang Zilong, other relatives were also shocked by Liu Xiahui's clever calculation, laid out half a year in advance, and then the hoarded white vinegar and banlan root really skyrocketed, even Zhuge Liang may not have this ability in his second life, right?

Rural people born in the sixties and seventies are somewhat superstitious, and when they encounter such inexplicable things, they can't help but pull on the ghosts and gods.

In short, after experiencing this incident, the relatives had more awe for Liu Xiahui.

As soon as Liu Xiahui's pricing came out, the relatives were a little incomprehensible at first, but after hearing Liu Xiahui's explanation, they were all convinced.

As a result, under Liu Xiahui's order, the capital of Guangdong Province, Shenzhen, Guan, and Foshi, each of the four cities suddenly appeared eight storefronts distributed in all directions.

The small warehouse at the back of each store is full of white vinegar and banyan root.

These are a full 32 stores, and they are basically open at the same time.

Then there is a small blackboard at the door of the store, on which is written a sentence that makes people's eyes shine:

"Our store white vinegar is 5 yuan/bottle, and Banlan root is 15 yuan/big bag, and each person is limited to three bottles of white vinegar and three packs of Banlan root. ”
