In the evening, Zhu Huchen led everyone to the Magnolia Xiang Hotel.

From a distance, I saw Chang Bing and a woman in her twenties standing at the door of the hotel to greet him. This woman has short hair, is tall, a little taller than Chang Bing, has a melon seed face, a high nose bridge, thin eyebrows and handsome eyes, wears a pink top, white pants, and smiles. Standing with the regular soldiers, it seems so incongruous.

At his uncle's house just now, Wang Yongliang had already learned about this woman's life experience. She is not a local, nor is she a Han Chinese, she is a Xian native of a Xian autonomous county in Ji Province, and was introduced by a fellow villager to marry Wang Dali, a forest farm worker in Yinqiu City. Wang Dali's parents insisted that she was a broom star, which hindered Wang Dali, and the two did not have a son and a half daughter after marriage, so they kicked her out of the door of Wang's house. She had no relatives, she could only beg around to live, during which she was bullied by bachelors and ruffians, and later it was Chang Bing who gave her a sum of money, rented a courtyard facing the street, and opened this Magnolia Xiang Hotel and Hotel. Because he was grateful for Chang Bing's help, and he didn't have a family, and he didn't care whether his money came from cleanly or not, he lived with Chang Bing in vain. Fortunately, the locals don't care much about this kind of thing, and they are not as feudal as the people of Lu Province.

Wang Yongliang was not disgusted with Zhao Lan's past, but felt that this woman was very pitiful. Don't laugh at her for living with a thief without shame or morality, you must know that in the face of survival, sometimes morality and shame are very powerless. Of course, if she hadn't lived with this thief, she might have been eaten to the point that there were no bones left.

The Magnolia Xiang Hotel is a courtyard house, sitting west facing east. The row of east houses facing the street is a restaurant, the north house is a house, the south house is a kitchen, and the west house is a hotel.

Zhao Lan arranged a big room today, and a large round table was enough for this big family to sit. Qi Guangrong sat on the main seat, Qi Dongxia and Zhu Huchen sat on both sides to accompany each other, Wang Yongping and Zhu Yuping sat together in two "bottles", the two brothers of Shan and Ling and Yongliang sat at the bottom, Chang Bing was busy making tea, pouring water and handing cigarettes, without Wang Yongliang's words, he would not dare to sit.

"Sit, Sit, Boss. After a while, if Sister Lan is done, come and sit down, so that everyone can get to know each other. Wang Yongliang knew his thoughts, and he was satisfied that he was so knowledgeable.

"Okay, Brother Wang. Chang Bing saw Wang Yongliang speak, so he sat on Yongliang's left hand side.

After a while, Zhao Lan prepared a table full of dishes, chicken stewed mushrooms, Northeast big pull, catfish stewed eggplant, sauce skeleton, spiced chicken rolls, big bone sticks, stewed sauerkraut, red blood sausage, and so on. After the dishes were served, Yongliang said to Zhao Lan: "Sister Lan, there are no outsiders, you can sit too." ”

Zhao Lan obviously had been instructed by Chang Bing, knowing that this young man was not simple, he was the boss of his mistress, and when she saw Yongliang calling her sister and inviting her to sit down, of course she was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, just looked at Chang Bing, and saw Chang Bing nodding her head for permission, so she happily sat on Yongliang's right hand.

At the beginning of the banquet, the atmosphere was very lively. After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Huchen and Qi Dongxia accompanied Qi Guangrong to talk, while Yuling and the two "bottles" didn't care about everyone, they just ate for a while, this is a good dish that is rarely eaten once, who has the kung fu to speak. Wang Yongliang was also helpless when he looked at this goods, he was really a hungry ghost reincarnated.

Yongliang ate it for a while and felt very good. In his previous life, he didn't eat much Northeast cuisine, and he also had a soft spot for Northeast cuisine, but there were really not many people like the taste so exquisite. He said to Zhao Lan: "Sister Lan, did you do this?"

"Yes, it's a small shop, can we still hire a chef? Zhao Lan hurriedly replied. Yes, the economy is not very good now, although Yinqiu City has developed forestry resources, and there are many salesmen who come here on a business trip, but the foreign population is still very small after all, and it would be good for her small shop to continue to operate dismally.

Well, it seems that this woman really has the potential to be a chef. Yongliang suddenly had an idea in his heart. He thought that in his previous life, the economy of the Northeast had been underdeveloped, and in desperation, the Northeast people rushed into the customs to make a living, and there were many in Shandong Province. If she is asked to open a Northeast hotel in Lu Province, she should have a good prospect, and she will not be less likely to be sent in the future, and it is more convenient to have her own hotel. Let's see if this woman can use it, don't be busy jumping to conclusions for the time being.

The wine and food are full, and the wine banquet is dispersed. Yuling and the two bottles were too full to eat, and they walked in small steps. Ping'er stroked her stomach with her hand and said, "Sister Lan, the food you made is so delicious that I can't even walk!" Everyone laughed. Zhao Lan said: "Sister Ping'er, if you think it's delicious, you can come back tomorrow, and my sister will make you more delicious." ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Then I'll come every day!"

"Okay, welcome, welcome!"

"Alas, you know, don't eat so much today!"

"Hahaha!" everyone laughed at Ping'er's words.

This little gluttonous bag is really smart, what she said seems to be cute, but in fact, a high hat doesn't need money!

……

Qi Guangrong and Ping'er both went back to Qi Dongxia's house to rest, while Yongliang stayed at the Magnolia Xiang Hotel.

After everyone left, Chang Bing and Zhao Lan led Wang Yongliang to the bedroom arranged for him. I have to say that Zhao Lan, a woman, knows how to do things, she did not arrange Yongliang in the west room where the guests lived, but arranged it in the west room of the north house, which lived next to her bedroom, and it was usually uninhabited here. Yongliang entered the house and saw that the house was very clean, the bedding was new, and the washing utensils were also prepared. Yongliang was very satisfied and said, "Sister Lan is bothered. ”

"Brother Wang is satisfied. Zhao Lan said modestly. She quickly made Yongliang a cup of tea, put it on the cabinet in front of the bed, and said, "You speak first, and I'll go and pick it up." Yongliang said: "Sister Lan, just go and get busy." Zhao Lan agreed, and walked out.

"Lao Chang, do you want to live like this?" asked Yongliang.

"What else can you do if you don't live like this? You can see that this woman is not simple. Whether it is her appearance or her ability to deal with people, this woman is not bad. She just doesn't have the ability to make a living, but as long as she can live, can she follow me?" Chang Bing replied.

"You mean she's using you?" Yongliang asked.

"You can't say that. It doesn't matter if we use it or not, if we want to use it, then we are using each other. When she was desperate, I gave her a stable life, and I didn't want to start a family when I used to do that, so I had to find a woman to solve my physical needs, so we lived together. To put it simply, she had to follow me in order to survive, and I was in order to solve my physical needs. Feelings can't be talked about. Chang Bing replied.

"Then you won't wash your hands and don't want to make a home?" asked Yongliang again.

"I have this idea. If I can settle down, I will find a daughter-in-law who can live a down-to-earth life, at least I have to stay behind. Zhao Lan, I don't plan to marry, and I can't support it if I do. Chang Bing replied.

Yongliang nodded, feeling that Chang Bing was still very sensible. Then he pondered for a while and said, "As for me, I have come here mainly to inspect the market for flour and timber here, and if it is suitable, I will set up an office here." Now it seems that there is no problem in terms of price, we have a piece of flour is two cents a pound, here are two pieces, the price difference is not small, now it depends on the amount of use? If the monthly consumption can reach 60 tons, can make up enough for a wagon, then we will do it. I calculated that the net profit per catty is not less than five cents, and if you can consume 60 tons per month, you can earn 60,000 yuan a month, which is not a small profit. ”

Wang Yongliang said this, took a sip of tea, and continued: "In addition, the price of red pine here is also good, one side is forty yuan, and one side in our side is more than one hundred and fifty. In the future, the life of the common people will get better and better, more and more houses will be repaired and built, and the prospect of the timber market is very good. A wagon can transport about 150 to 200 square meters, and the profit is between 15,000 and 20,000 yuan, which is also very considerable. ”

At this point, he raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he said passionately: "I can also open a furniture factory, a food factory, and so on, and make all the downstream products of wood and flour! If all goes well, I will set up an office in Harbin City and expand my business to the whole province of Hei Province." ”
