Chapter 11: Membership
When An Jiaqi looked at people, his two eyes stared straight ahead.
I sat across from her, eating bite by bite, the porridge was hot, but I felt like I was taking a cold shower.
After finally finishing the porridge, I nodded at An Jiaqi, and was about to get up and go back to the house, but she suddenly waved her hand at me, signaling me to sit down and not leave.
I only heard her say slowly: "My mother has only told me in the last two years, she has a younger sister in Qingshen County, she rarely talked about her family affairs before, and we are juniors, so we don't ask too much." ”
I glanced at my cousin, who had also finished his meal and put down the dishes and chopsticks, looking at An Jiaqi.
"There were actually a lot of people before we settled down, but later we ......"
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then reached out and put it behind her ear: "Later, something happened at home, our settled people, the dead died, scattered, and there were only a few of us left......
As soon as she said this, An Ning, who was drinking porridge next to her, suddenly cried.
I saw that he didn't drink the porridge anymore, and shouted at Shen Mengru: "Dad, I want Dad!" ”
Seeing how Shen Mengru coaxed, the kid didn't listen, and An Jiaqi was a little impatient.
She scolded Shen Mengru angrily: "How did you become a mother? Can't you think of a way for the child to cry? It's useless! ”
Her words were very polite, as if she was reprimanding her subordinates, and in front of me and Tang Muzhou, she didn't even give her nephew and daughter-in-law any face.
Shen Mengru's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very weak when she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
Tang Muzhou and I glanced at each other, and in the face of these two women, one strong and one weak, I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
An Ning is still making trouble, and An Jiaqi is cold.
Steward Hu came over and said, "It's time for the little master to drink cough sugar water, I'll let the kitchen cook it and bring it to the little master's bedroom." ”
Steward Hu's words can be regarded as a relief from the siege, and Shen Mengru hurriedly hugged her son and went down.
An Jiaqi stared at the back of his nephew and daughter-in-law, his eyes were very sharp.
It can be seen that Shen Mengru, who lost her husband, is not doing very well in the life of the family.
After An Jiaqi saw their mother and son leave, he turned to us and said, "After I heard my mother talk about you, I actually wanted to go and see it. But I can't help it, since my brother and Ankang are gone, I'm busy inside and outside the house, and I can't leave. ”
It sounded very sincere, but I could tell it was polite.
In these years, one generation of relatives, two representatives, three generations and four generations, who knows who you are.
Although I thought so in my heart, I smiled at An Jiaqi: "Actually, I also wanted to come to see my aunt and grandmother for a long time, and it just so happened that my family was also very busy, and there were a lot of things, so I couldn't spare time." ”
I glanced at Tang Muzhou and smiled more and more embarrassed, but Tang Muzhou suddenly said: "You Tang Xiaofan is busy, tired and can't make a few dollars, and my cousin is busy with big deals." ”
Saying that, he looked around: "Just this club in the mountains, you can make a lot of money a year, right?" Not to mention those restaurants and hotels in the county. ”
Tang Muzhou's words really made me feel unhappy.
However, he was quite right.
My small noodle shop earned hundreds of dollars a day, which was nothing compared to my aunt's business.
But this Tang Muzhou is really angry, no matter how small my small noodle shop is, it was also run by my father Tang Sihai from scratch.
If my dad had such good resources as my aunt's family, I don't think my dad would have to be much worse than those successful people.
When it comes to birth, I really don't have a choice.
You can only accept and compromise, and when your current life is so unsatisfactory, you can't find any reason.
An Jiaqi looked at Tang Muzhou with a smile, and only after he finished speaking, did he sigh:
"Muzhou, you just see the surface, it's all a family, and I don't hide it. If the hotel in the county can still operate, I don't have to go to this east mountain to build a club. ”
Speaking of this, I saw An Jiaqi smile at me again: "Our grandfather was originally the imperial chef in the palace, and after coming out, he returned to his hometown Dongshan and opened a restaurant, and our An family's business has continued like this." A few years ago, the whole country began to crack down, and high-end restaurants became deserted, so I took retreat as advance, found a piece of land on this east mountain, and built such a club. ”
Tang Muzhou nodded and said: "The environment here is indeed hidden, and if ordinary people want to come, it should be conditional, right?" ”
"Of course."
An Jiaqi took a sip of tea: "What we implement here is a membership system, and you have to recharge 400,000 yuan at a time to become a member, and your identity and financial resources must be strictly reviewed." ”
When I heard this, I was amazed again.
It seems that my aunt's family not only has money, but also earns money from rich people.
However, in this small Dongshan County, there should not be many people who recharge 400,000 yuan in a restaurant at a time.
An Jiaqi seemed to see my thoughts, and before I could say it, she said: "Dongshan County is a small place, and the consumption capacity is limited, and most of my long-term members here are from the provincial capital. ”
She looked slightly smug when she said the latter words.
This Dongshan club should have been built in recent years, my cousin An Haixin father and son passed away for a few years, it seems that this club from construction to operation, is run by An Jia alone.
An Jiaqi continued: "The profit of the club is dozens of times that of the hotel. I plan to close all the restaurants in the county town this year and specialize in clubs. ”
I think she's pretty shrewd.
Doing business should indeed be like this, to make money, you have to invest more energy, those who are thankless, can not do it and close it, in vain delay time and no profit.
Tang Muzhou looked left and right: "In the past few days of my aunt's funeral, I can't open the door to pick up customers, and I have lost a lot." ”
"Of course." An Jiaqi nodded: "Investing in this club, putting all the money of our An family into it, in addition to that, I owe a lot of debts......"
Speaking of this, she paused deliberately: "But it doesn't matter, I'm confident that I can pay back in two or three years." ”
"That's right, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the environment is so good, rich people like to enjoy it, and when you get the money, it will be like a snowball."
I looked at Tang Muzhou, and I found that he was a person who spoke and liked to follow others.
This kind of person, in reality, is very likable.
However, I don't like this kind of politeness.
After smiling again, she raised her eyes to look at us, paused, and said, "I heard Steward Hu say that tonight, you cousins and sisters want to keep a vigil for my mother?" ”
