"Hey...... Ay...... Thank you, Meng Ye, I'll go home first, bye!"

The suitcase was very heavy, but there was no big sound when it hit the snow, Lu Nan patted the straw on the windbreaker, and thanked Grandpa Meng who pulled the donkey cart to send her home from the village entrance.

There was no one in the yard, only the goose staring at her quacking, gently opened the courtyard gate and walked to the door, looking inside through the glass, only Li Yumei was busy cooking in the kitchen, and her father was playing mahjong with a few village elders.

"Mom, I'm back, where is my brother? Uncle Wang, second uncle is good. ”

Lu Nan had already heard that Lu Ze had gone home, and he was a little strange why he didn't see his figure, so he asked Li Yumei.

She was supposed to have been on vacation more than ten days ago, but the last paper before the holiday tied her to school, worked overtime in the library, and hurried back a few days before the Chinese New Year.

She is very concerned about Lu Ze's mental state, after all, if such a big thing happens, it is reasonable for Lu Ze to be decadent, even if Lu Ze doesn't need it, Lu Nan has to express his concern.

"Your brother went to the city, and he probably won't come back today, so he came to work and cut the pork. ”

"Oh, good. ”

She didn't complain about working as soon as she arrived at home, after all, she had been like this for so many years, and the village was not like the city, and the line between who was in and out of the village had become blurred.

In the village, this boundary is still clearly demarcated, men should earn money to support their families, sweat and bleed outside, and women should wash clothes, cook, take care of children, and arrange the home properly, so that men have no worries.

And a ...... like her who hasn't made any money yet Naturally, the work at home cannot be escaped, and the housework should be shared for the mother.

Picked up a broom and swept the snow off the suitcase, put the box back in his bedroom, took off his trench coat, changed into old clothes at home, tied his long hair in a ponytail with his shawl, and went into the kitchen to wash his hands.

Picked up the old-fashioned, not light black kitchen knife, wiped the blade with a rag, skillfully slice it twice at the mouth of the water tank, along the texture of the pork, cut it into the required size, but the meat has just thawed, and it is a little difficult to cut the pork skin, and the left palm holding the back of the knife is pressed out of an obvious mark.

Add oil, Pixian bean paste, dry chili, green onions, ginger and garlic and other ingredients, and wait until the red oil is fried and then put in the pork, and the fragrance comes out in an instant, and the mother and daughter do not communicate much, but they still maintain a quite tacit understanding in the kitchen.

In the process of cooking, Lu Nan always paid attention to his mother's expression, after all, if something happened to his brother, his parents would definitely follow suit, but what made Lu Nan feel strange was that Li Yumei did not frown and looked worried, but looked a little happy, which made Lu Nan very confused.

"Don't play, close the stalls, defend the country, you eat, let's go." ”

When the two card friends saw that Lu Weiguo had arrived at dinner, they also got up and said goodbye, leaving behind the more than 40 yuan they had lost.

No matter how Lu Weiguo and Li Yumei persuaded them, neither of them stayed to eat together, after all, Lu Nan had just come back, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to eat at this time.

Mother was busy making the last dish, Lu Nan sneaked out first, saw Lu Weiguo was putting mahjong into the box, also leaned over, picked up a red middle and put it into the mahjong box, turned his head to look at Li Yumei, put his head next to Lu Weiguo to look at it and asked.

"Dad...... What's wrong with my mother? Why are you so happy? Is there anything good? You snuff out your cigarette, and look at you and your second uncle smoking so many cigarettes, the house is all smoked. ”

When he was young, he was managed by his mother, when he was an adult, he was managed by his wife, and when he was old, he was managed by his daughter, it seems that many men's lives are dominated by these three women, and Lu Weiguo is no exception, his expression is a little helpless, he extinguishes the cigarette, fans the smoke with the palm of his hand, and opens the window a little.

"Your second master introduced your brother to a partner. ”

"Huh, what about my brother? He agreed? Is he going today?"

"No, he went to the city to prepare to do some business, and he set a meeting on the eighth day of the new year. ”

"Oh......"

To be honest, Lu Nan is quite disappointed, not because she has any pathological fetishes such as brother control, but she just thinks that people like Lu Ze should have found their own happiness by themselves, and they shouldn't go on a blind date.

Her understanding of blind date is actually at a relatively rudimentary level, thinking that blind date is a casual makeshift in the second half of her life, and she will not encounter love.

In her opinion, Lu Ze's choice to go on a blind date is actually a disguised compromise and an attempt to integrate into the lives of ordinary people.

She felt that Lu Ze should not be like this, trying to become ordinary, but should keep in her heart, I don't know when she started to be so radiant from hard work.

Rubbing the last piece of mahjong that had not been put into the box, she was a little depressed, filled in the last piece of the box, closed the lid and put it away, and went into the kitchen to bring out a plate of prepared dishes.

Lu Ze didn't know Lu Nan's complicated emotions, and he didn't even know that she had arrived home, and he was busy with his own business now......

……

"Hello, do you have a franchise here?"

Not counting the courses in the system space, Lu Ze himself has no entrepreneurial experience, and the funds in his hands are not much, but if he does small business, it is not small.

There is a lot of business that can be done with more than one million, but the risk of going out of the road by himself is too great, Lu Ze thinks about it, it is better to join a store with some fame, so that he will not be smeared with a black eye when he first enters the industry, and he doesn't understand anything.

After training, the goods are also delivered, which can also save a lot of heart.

The store he is now in is making dry pots, I tried it just now, the taste is really good, the brand has been seen in other cities before, obviously it is not small, but Lu Hua only has this one store, and if you open another one, Lu Hua's market will not be unable to hold up.

This is obviously a very good choice for Lu Ze, but the next words of the waiter made Lu Ze a little disappointed.

"I'm sorry, our stores are invested by the head office, belong to the company's own stores, and do not accept franchises. ”

"Oh, that's it, thank you, please give me another beer. ”

There are still disappointments, but Lu Ze didn't only recognize this one, in addition, he also considered opening a capsule hotel near the station, that is, the amount of investment is much larger than that of a dry pot restaurant.

I started the beer and poured a glass, but there was no car driving now anyway, so I pulled the bottom of the pot and stuffed a piece of lotus root into my mouth, and drank it in one gulp.

It's been a long time since I've drunk this kind of big green stick, and typical industrial beer is basically the same taste, and after getting used to craft beer, drinking industrial beer is a bit boring.

Craft ......

Suddenly, Lu Ze had some ideas, hurriedly opened the map on his mobile phone, checked Lu Hua's beer shop, and then grinned and laughed.

In the larger first- and second-tier cities, with the gradual improvement of people's awareness of alcohol culture, they no longer pursue alcohol content for the sake of drunkenness, but pursue the change of taste, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of craft beer shops.

But Lu Hua is a small city after all, Lu Ze just checked the beer shop, there are only 7 in Lu Hua, and Lu Ze just used the takeaway software to find a nearby beer shop, and the sales are really good.

That's the price of a single beer...... Let Lu Ze smack his tongue a little, this is really daring to ask for a price, basically 30% higher than the price of craft beer shops in first-tier cities, it is estimated that there are still many people in Lu Hua who regard craft beer as a rare thing, and it may also be due to inland cities, the transportation cost is too high, in short, it must be expensive.

This made Lu Ze think a little, if you want to talk about things like tea ceremony and coffee, Lu Ze can only be regarded as vassally elegant, playing with rich people, but Lu Ze really understands beer.

From stouts, sour beer, to triple and quadruple turbid fever level IPAs, Lu Ze has drunk more than a thousand kinds of beer, and he can say something about the taste and even the production process.

The most important thing is that he has high-quality purchase channels, and Song Guiyuan is one of the largest beer merchants in China.

Lu Ze has also met with him a few times, the beer that Lu Ze drank before was all brought by him, not to mention the common beer, the date must be the latest, even the customs are not allowed to import, it can only rely on people's backs, and a person can only bring a bottle of wine on the plane, which can also flow to Lu Ze's hands.

This had little to do with Lu Ze's status at the time, purely because Lao Song and Lu Ze were buddies, and this kind of thing couldn't be simpler for him.

Instead of thinking about it slowly, it is better to act now, Lu Ze picked up his mobile phone and dialed Song Guiyuan's phone.

"Hey, do you still know how to call me? I ask you, tell me honestly, Lu Ze, have you been short of money lately? Don't be embarrassed to say, I still have a little here, not much, but it's enough to save the emergency, you take it first." ”

Before Lu Ze could speak, Song Guiyuan said a lot of things, and Lu Ze could only shake his head with a wry smile, pour another glass of beer and drink it.

"I still have some money, enough to spend...... I just wanted to ask you, how much does it cost me to open a craft brewery?"

"Why? Want to do your own business?"

"Hmm...... You have to find something to do for yourself. ”

Both of them were a little silent, and they were quiet for a while, maybe Song Guiyuan also had the same idea as Lu Nan, and was a little sad about the choice Lu Ze made, until Lu Ze heard a sigh, and then Lao Song's words came.

"Throw away the rent and decoration, just talk about the goods, depending on how big you do, hundreds of thousands can be done, millions are not enough, it depends on you, if you want to open a bigger, I still say that, how much to find me, you don't have to worry about the goods, a word of things." ”

"Okay, then I'll look for a house after the New Year, hang it?"

"Wait...... Forget it, it's nothing, I'll go to see you in Luhua in a while, take care ......"

"Okay, I'll entertain. ”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ze put on his hat, paid the bill and left the dry pot shop, leaving only the two waiters behind him whispering.

"The man just now...... It seems like Lu Ze ......"
