Trying to grasp the context of China's textile products, and eventually pave some due roads for his hegemony in the new industry.

And it takes time, and the research he has put a lot of effort into it.

Therefore, when Shao Nianshi confirmed the cooperation with Chen Jiefu, he expressed his desire to stay in Qingcheng for a period of time.

Regarding Shao Nianshi's decision, Chen Jiefu raised his hands and feet in favor.

Because of the arrival of this partner, his textile printing and dyeing factory has received a share of up to 5,000 yuan, as well as the addition of a partner with a very skilled skill.

Today is a day worth celebrating for Chen Jiefu.

He patted the small lounge very generously and said to Shao Nian: "You don't want to stay in a hotel that is so expensive that it is to death." ”

"Now that the factory has not officially started, you should live in the factory first. ”

"There is a group of fellow villagers patrolling here at night, and if you pay attention to safety, it is a little safer than in the city. ”

"Well, I stay here every now and then, and the rooms over there are all ready-made. ”

It's not that Shao Nianshi, who can't endure hardship, of course agreed to it.

He doesn't have very high requirements for his living conditions, as long as he can eat a full mouthful, it doesn't matter where he lives.

Seeing that this partner is so down-to-earth, Chen Jiefu is also very happy.

He was a little embarrassed and said to this new collaborator who was too talkative: "My family is now in confinement in my hometown, and there is no one who can serve the two of us, so we can only deal with it." ”

"Thanks to Brother Shao's carelessness, if it were another boss this time, I'm afraid I would think I didn't have the intention of cooperating. ”

As for Shao Nianshi, he shook his head indifferently and said to Chen Jiefu: "It's an unexpected joy that I can cooperate with Boss Chen." ”

"If you really have to pay attention to the details, that's not the material for doing business with a heart. ”

"So please take care of me in the future?"

Shao Nianshi took the initiative to reach out and hand it to Chen Jiefu, who held his future partner back and responded with the same excited voice: "Please take care of me." ”

Two shrewd people who also came from a small village, but completed the accumulation of capital with their own skills, established an unbreakable cooperative relationship from this moment, and since then embarked on a fairly harmonious road of success with one person inside and one outside.

And before they succeed, they will have to put in considerable effort.

It seems that now, after Shao Nianshi needed to sleep on a hard wooden bed for a night, he embarked on his road of investigation of the Qingcheng textile industry market.

And before that, the first thing he had to do was to send a few letters to the first mansion and the school's hospital.

For the letters handed over to the first master and the principal, they are mostly polite and polite.

However, the content of the letter he sent to the Chu Family Mansion and received by Chu Xue himself was much gentler and tenderer.

First Snow:

Thank you.

I have arrived in Qingdao, and I miss it very much.

A handwritten letter, with an expression of friendship.

The negotiations at the factory went very smoothly, but everything was new, and everything was waiting to be done, and I needed to deal with many matters with Chen Sheng, so I could not return immediately.

A special letter to inform you that you should take care of yourself and do not worry.

The initial judgment of Qingcheng matters will take more than a month to be properly handled, and on the day of return, someone will be sent to inform them.

There is only one regret, but can not accompany you, miss deeply, there is nowhere to sue, only a pen, a piece of paper, to be sustenance, I hope you can know, my love.

The sea and the sky are in sight, and they are not all dependent. The feelings of parting are still lingering.

Take care of everything.

Wait for me to return.

Don't think about it, and then pray for it.

Shao Nian

It was written on February 29, the 14th year of the Republic of China

After writing this letter, Shao Nianshi carefully sealed it well, and pasted a rough round shell peddled by a small vendor at the exit of the train station to the sealing place of the envelope, and then leaned down on the wooden bed steadily, and entered the dream directly in response to sleepiness.

And the next morning, he even got up a few minutes earlier than his roommate next door.

Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth with the Qingyan toothpaste you brought, ride the bicycle that belonged to Chen Jiefu, and rush to the Shizhong District of Qingcheng.

The beauty of Qingcheng in the morning is probably due to the fact that it is close to the sea, and even the cold wind here has a feeling of wetness.

When Shao Nianshi really rode on the road, he understood why the road was so bumpy.

Because the wasteland in the southern suburbs is actually a dirt road with a gravel structure, so when a vehicle as heavy as a car drives on it, it will be very bumpy.

But don't worry, there is a grass next to it with a layer of dead grass growing against the surface.

The bike rolls on it, and it's much smoother than walking on this dirt road.

Therefore, when Shao Nianshi rode over, he was driving faster than the car.

It took more than 50 minutes to rush to the Qingcheng city area, which had just begun to be lively.

When he arrived in this urban area, Shao Nianshi was not in a hurry to find the channel to sell fabrics, after all, this was a time when the city had just woken up, and the shops that controlled the city's livelihood and economy were not yet ready to open.

At this time, Qingcheng City is busy for the vitality of the day.

In the courtyard where they live, ordinary people wash their faces and comb their hair, empty the toilet, get up with their children in order, or actively prepare for the work they are about to go to work and the business they are about to open.

But before they can do that, they have to accomplish something important.

This is to feed yourself and make sure that your body has enough energy to complete the heavy and light work and life of the morning.

Therefore, at this time, it is the time for Qingcheng's early shops and street vendors.

If you want to know a city, you have to start with the local cuisine.

Finding a delicious shop is not difficult at all for Shao Nianshi, who has lived in Qingcheng for a while.

He rode the 28-beam car around the Qingcheng Road, which was basically a diagonal street, and turned left and right at two intersections, and found a small shop that was enough for him to satisfy.

This shop is opened in a small commercial street in Qingcheng and the place where the residents' courtyards meet, because of the reason in the queue, the scale of this shop is seriously calculated, it is really small.

There were no more than two tables that could fit inside, but in the morning, when the road was occupied and the patrolmen would not find fault, there were seven or eight open-air seats at the door.

By the time Shao Nian rushed over, it was already full.

When he saw this grand occasion, Shao Nianshi's face was overjoyed, and he whispered: "Found it! ”

This is the old restaurant where he used to eat when he fled Qingcheng with his parents.

Eight or nine years have passed, and it is still the same as Shao Nian's departure, and there has not been much change.

The sour and spicy smell wafting in the air is so nostalgic.

Shao Nianshi, who was seduced, hurriedly got out of the car, parked it on the edge of a bench that had just been vacated, and shouted loudly to the boss who had moved the big pot to the entrance of the shop: "Boss, have a bowl of hot and sour fish balls, and a big pot of cakes!"

The boss was holding a big spoon at this time, and he started to start with a pot of boiled bubbling hot and sour soup, and when he heard Shao Nianshi's request, he answered without raising his head: "Okay!"

"Old woman, take a pancake from the pot. ”

"Okay!"

In response to this, the meticulous mother-in-law with combed hair walked out of the shop and returned to Shao Nianshi: "Guest, do you want a piece of bread or half a piece of cake." ”

It was in response to this question that Shao Nianshi remembered that the effort it took to make a Jiaozhou big pot cake took the strength of the old nose.

Therefore, when a flatbread comes out of the pot, one has a weight of five catties.

One of them is enough to weigh seven or eight taels, and half a point is enough to weigh three or four taels.

Thinking of his good appetite, of course Shao Nianshi wants a piece of cake.

After all, this is only half a catty of rations, and a strong young man can easily nibble on a piece of bread, and this piece of bread is really not much.

"Boss, let's get a cake!"

"Okay!"

Why is this proprietress so happy, don't look at this pot cake is made of mixed noodles and is not worth a few big bucks, but she can't stand the procedure of making Jiaozhou big pot cakes is very porcelain, and she can make this cake more than ordinary cakes, so when you want to buy this big pot cake to eat, you will subconsciously reduce your share, as if you can leave some silver money in this way.

If you want to call this proprietress to say, they are all poor Huohuo, after all, this number has decreased, and the weight will naturally follow.

The people who sit on her stall to eat have only one psychological comfort.

When it comes, it is her guests who can't eat enough, and it's herself who can't make money.

In the end, it is really worthy of his body like the young man in front of him, the young man eats half a catty of cakes, plus their family's most famous hot and sour fish balls, even if it is noon, his stomach will not be hungry.

Thinking that when the proprietress here was serving the cakes, she started with the triangular cake with more sesame grains, and when she added fish balls to the hot and sour soup, she threw one more.

This made the boss who was in charge of guarding the pot to prevent this sticky hot and sour soup from sticking to the pot and affecting the taste.

When I saw the clean appearance of the new guest, my heart was sour.

He knew that the big man in Qingcheng was a virtue, but whenever he saw a handsome guy, he would be treated with special treatment.

Out of revenge, the boss added a handful of pepper to Shao Nianshi's fish ball soup when he was out of the pot.

In response to this momentum, after looking at Shao Nian's sneezing three times in a row, this face looked a little better.

"You old man!"

The proprietress thought it was a little funny, but when she saw that the young man had finished sneezing, her eyes lit up all of a sudden.

That's right, it's this momentum that is the most wonderful thing about this sour and spicy fish ball.

The fish balls in Qingcheng are completely different from the fish balls in Jecheng from the inland.

Because of the proximity to the sea, fishermen returning from the sea every day take their night's earnings to the dock on the shore to sell them.

Of course, the big and fresh goods were all bought by the fish fresh business company on the dock.

The second-class big fish was taken away at a low price by the second-class dealers who poured the seafood.

The goods that can be placed on the side of the boat and randomly selected by the citizens of Qingcheng City are generally not Yusheng that can be put on the table.

However, this kind of sashimi has an extremely big advantage, that is, it is cheaper, much cheaper than any kind of meat bought outside.

It is precisely because of this cheapness that hand-made fish balls have a market to sell outside.

After all, the bowl of hot and sour fish ball soup that Shao Nianshi held in his hand was only such a bowl, and there were six (ration five) ping-pong ball-sized fluffy and tender fish meatball soup, which could be sold for 6-8 big children, and the cost of making them was only 1-2 at most.

Therefore, after Shao Nianshi bit open a milky white meatball that became unusually fluffy as soon as he was cooked, he felt that he could stay in Qingcheng for a while longer, which was really a very happy thing.

This delicacy should be tasted well, but it is just a simple meal, and it has been eaten for a long time by Shao Nianshi.

After sending off three or four waves of guests who came to eat, he slowly touched his slightly bulging little belly, and gave the fifteen eldest sons' silver coins to the proprietress to settle the money.

Then he pushed his bicycle and rode to the most prosperous commercial street in Qingcheng.

Looking at the sun overhead, as well as the nine-o'clock scale pointed by his pocket watch, Shao Nian knew that it was time for the commercial street in the central area of Qingcheng to open the market.

At this time, Shao Nianshi kicked fast under his feet, and in a short time, he arrived at the street he wanted to go to.

At the intersection of the commercial street, there is a storage place for valuable vehicles of the Market Administration, and he gave the storage fee and extra tips to the five eldest sons of the Administration Bureau at the rate of one eldest son per hour, and got a storage ticket from the other party that can store bicycles for three hours, and then he put his mind at ease and walked from the end of the street to the end of the street.

To say that this green city is worthy of the title of Shandong's first economic city, in today's business and trade circles, there is also a reputation that is not inferior to Shanghai.

Since Germany occupied the entire area of Jiaozhou Bay in 1897, the development here is not comparable to that of several cities in the interior of Shandong.

It's just that the northern government finally took the autonomy of Qingcheng and Yancheng into its hands three years ago, and in a blink of an eye, because of Zhang Dashuai's partial Japanese behavior, Jiaozhou fell into the hands of the Japanese.

Not to mention anything else, in just three years, the Japanese took advantage of the convenience of the relatively close proximity of the country to continuously transport their own merchants to the more vast Jiaodong Peninsula.
