Chapter VII Borrowing and Pooling
When I got home, Li Liang's parents hadn't come back yet, my sister Li Meng was busy in the kitchen, she was on the middle shift today, and she went home from work at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. When the little black dog saw Li Liang coming back, he was overjoyed, and wagged his tail around Li Liang diligently.
"Sister, what are you cooking today?" Li Liang walked into the kitchen and saw that he was picking a little cabbage.
"In the morning, my mother bought half a bighead carp, and the little cabbage you love to eat, you see, the water is smart, and it is almost enough to catch up with the grandmother's house. Li Meng said while picking vegetables.
Li Liang's grandmother's house is in a township more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat, and when his grandparents, uncles and aunts come to the city, they will bring some fresh vegetables from the countryside. Li Liang has three uncles and two aunts, the uncles and aunts have all become families, and the remaining aunts and Li Meng are about the same age and have not yet started a family. Grandma's family has a large population, and the conditions are not very good, so Li Liang's parents often give them something.
Li Meng picked the vegetables very quickly, and quickly washed the cabbage and chopped the bighead carp into pieces. Li Liang sat in the stove to light the fire, in order to save some expenses, the family used wood to cook vegetables, these woods were cut back from the mountains by his uncles and dried, and then sent to Li Liang's house in a board car. Li Meng's cooking skills are good, and soon the kitchen will be filled with the aroma of vegetables, and when her parents come back, the family and He Meimei sat in the living room and ate dinner.
Li Liang took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, it tasted so delicious. In this era, fish farming is all natural farming, and the farmers who raise fish cut some grass at most, sprinkle some rice bran for the fish to eat, and the fish raised are naturally delicious, which is completely different from the fish fed by the feed.
"Sister, your craftsmanship is so good, this dish is so delicious!" Li Liang praised from the bottom of his heart!
Li Meng smiled: "If it's delicious, you can eat more!"
While eating, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Who?" asked Li Liang's mother, Wang Xiujuan.
"It's me, Qingxiang!" Zhang Qingxiang's voice sounded outside the door.
Li Liang hurriedly put down his chopsticks and opened the courtyard door.
"Uncle Zhang, have you eaten? Come in and eat some?" Li Liang said, and was about to go to the kitchen to pick up a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks.
"Liangzi, your uncle has already eaten, I am looking for your parents to have something!" Zhang Qingxiang grabbed Li Liang and walked into the living room of the Li family together.
Li Meng had already poured a cup of cold white boil and handed it to Zhang Qingxiang: "Uncle Zhang, drink saliva!"
Zhang Qingxiang took the cup, found a stool and sat down, and said, "Mengmeng is getting more and more beautiful, do you have any people to talk to in the hospital?"
Li Meng replied a little embarrassed: "Not yet!"
Li Shuangzhu handed Zhang Qingxiang a cigarette with a filter, usually he was only willing to smoke cigarettes without a filter, and only changed the cigarette with a filter when a guest came.
"Brother Qingxiang, is there something wrong?" Li Shuangzhu is a few years younger than Zhang Qingxiang, the two families live close, and they usually help each other with everything, and they are very familiar.
Zhang Qingxiang opened his mouth and said a little hesitantly: "Liangzi gave Zhang Meng an idea two days ago, and he is going to build a yurt and open a small restaurant in the cement factory in the west of the city!" He rubbed his hands and said a little uneasily: "Brother Shuangzhu, you also know the situation in my family, the conditions are not very good! I made an estimate in my heart, and it is estimated that it will cost 300 yuan to set up this stall. Just now I went to my brother's house and opened my mouth, my brother's daughter-in-law, hey!" He lowered his head as he spoke, it seemed that his brother's daughter-in-law did not agree, and he did not borrow money!
Li Shuangzhu quickly glanced at his daughter-in-law Wang Xiujuan, Wang Xiujuan nodded slightly, signaling that she agreed to borrow money. Li Shuangzhu, who got the permission of his daughter-in-law, asked thoughtfully: "Brother Qingxiang, who can not be a little difficult, our ability is limited, but we can still squeeze out a little money, I don't know how much you plan to borrow?"
Hearing Li Shuangzhu agree to borrow money, Zhang Qingxiang's voice suddenly choked up, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, it really makes sense: "Great, we have saved some ourselves, it is estimated that we need 100 yuan, I don't know if it is convenient in your hands, it really doesn't work, 50 yuan is fine!"
"That's no problem!" Hearing that Zhang Qingxiang was just borrowing 100 yuan, Li Shuangzhu breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.
"Thank you so much!" Zhang Qingxiang looked at Li Shuangzhu and Wang Xiujuan, and solemnly expressed his gratitude, "Don't worry, when I make money, I will pay it back immediately!"
Li Liang sat on the side, watching this scene of borrowing money, he paid special attention to the eye contact between his father and mother, and knew that he must have saved more than 100 yuan at home. He thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Zhang, is 300 yuan enough?" Your restaurant must be equipped with at least four tables, one table and eight chairs; besides, there is no running water there, so you have to dig a well; plus pots and pans in the kitchen, meat and vegetables, and so on!"
If you follow Li Liang's algorithm, it is true that this amount of money is a bit tight, and the material cost of drilling a well alone may cost more than 100 yuan.
Zhang Qingxiang replied: "We are going to stop digging a well for the time being, and then buy a big water tank, and let Zhang Meng go to his grandmother's house every morning to pick up a few loads of water!"
Zhang Meng's grandmother's house is at least 500 meters away from the side of the road where the store is about to open, and it is a lot of work to pick up a few loads of water every morning. And according to the current situation, when Zhang Meng's summer graduation restaurant opened, the weather was so hot, and there was no refrigerator in the restaurant, and meat and vegetables were easy to spoil. If there is well water, it is different, you can put some cold well water in the water tank from time to time to protect the quality of the ingredients.
Thinking of this, Li Liang had an idea in his heart: "Uncle Zhang, parents, I have an idea, please listen to it!" It's better to do this, Uncle Zhang, you invest 200 yuan, our family invests 300 yuan, and we each have half of the shares; Aunt Chunhua and Brother Zhang Meng are responsible for operation and management, and receive monthly wages; we two will calculate once at the end of each month, and the net profit after the salary will be divided in half, how about it?"
This is a good idea, yesterday Li Shuangzhu and Wang Xiujuan listened to their son's idea for Zhang Qingxiang's family, and they were very optimistic about this business. Wang Xiujuan turned around a few times in her heart, and was very interested in her son's proposal. The two families have been together for so many years, and Zhang Qingxiang's family knows the behavior of the two people, even if their own family does not participate in the operation, the two of them will not pit their own family. If you can participate in half of the shares, even if you have an extra 100 yuan, you can get it.
"How embarrassing is this, what if I lose it?" Zhang Qingxiang is a real person, the borrowed money has to be repaid, and the money invested in the shares does not have to be repaid if it is lost, he is worried that if the business does not continue, then the Li Shuangzhu family will lose a lot, and the Li family is willing to invest more.
"Even if it's our own!" Li Liang's mother, Wang Xiujuan, spoke, "Brother Qingxiang, there is indeed no well that is inconvenient, and the food is easy to spoil, you don't have to worry about losing money, I believe that as long as the new overpass is opened to traffic, it will definitely not be lost." At most, it's a matter of earning more and earning less, as long as Chunhua's sister-in-law and Zhang Meng manage it well, life will get better and better!"
Hearing Wang Xiujuan say this, Zhang Qingxiang didn't shirk it, he responded: "Okay, since you trust the two of us, then invest a little bigger, but in this matter, you still need Liangzi to draw up a list of joint shares, and the two of us will sign it." As the saying goes, a brother has to settle accounts, what do you see?"
Li Liang knew his future father-in-law very well, and from the words he could say and sign the fitting stock list, he could hear that Zhang Qingxiang was a person with a big heart, and he should write the joint stock agreement.
Then the two families sat down together, discussed the specific matters of the merger, and made a list of the things that needed to be purchased. According to the caliber discussed between Zhang Qingxiang and his parents, Li Liang quickly wrote a joint stock agreement in duplicate. Waiting for Zhang Qingxiang and Li Shuangzhu to sign their names, Wang Xiujuan took out a small plastic bag from the bedroom, this plastic bag has three layers of bags and three layers of bags, she opened the plastic bag, counted 25 pieces of 10 yuan and some other 5 yuan, 1 yuan banknotes, and handed the counted 300 yuan to Zhang Qingxiang.
