Chapter 40: Decisions
(I was in a hurry to upload it yesterday, and the chapter was wrong.) )
At this point, everyone stopped talking about it and started a new round of shabu-shabu. It wasn't until midnight that the meal was finished. When I finally cleaned up, I said to the old man and Heqiang
"It's just so long since you were here, find a place in the courtyard to make a stove." It seems that it is intended to be eaten often.
And the patriarch also plans to get one of his own house, and the old man said, just get one, if you want to eat, come over, and it will be lively when there are more people eating. He Patriarch and He Lao were brothers, so he didn't refuse, so he asked He Qiang to make the stove before they left, and then asked Xiang Tianqi to hand over the method to Grandma He.
made Xiang Tianqi complain vigorously, did she provoke two foodies! said so, but Xiang Tianqi still seriously told his grandmother about the precautions, and didn't stop until he said to his grandmother that he was almost there.
When a few people are busy, let He Qiang call He Sheng. And Xiang Tianqi and Cui Ying went to call the second sister-in-law. A few people are meeting their hometown the most. Since they planned to open a shop, their hometown has become a place for them to meet and discuss.
Xiang Tianqi and Cuiying were walking on the road, this was the first time Xiang Tianqi went to his second sister-in-law's house, and he was still very curious. I used to hear that the second sister-in-law's family was in difficulty, but Xiang Tianqi didn't want to ask so carefully, so he only had a general understanding.
Xiang Tianqi followed Cuiying, becoming more and more remote, until he reached the edge of the village, Cuiying pointed to a dilapidated courtyard and said, "It's here."
Xiang Tianqi looked in the direction Cui Ying pointed, she hadn't seen a few, but as far as the houses she had seen were concerned, this was the most broken. The courtyard wall is simply fenced, and inside is a thatched house, and it can be seen that the roof is newly repaired.
The two of them walked into the courtyard, Cui Ying shouted "second sister-in-law", and her voice came from inside, and they went in.
Once inside, you will be greeted by a potholed ground, and a wooden table in the courtyard with a stone cushion in the corner. There are a few guys who use the fields here and there. There is nothing else. There are two thatched huts in the kitchen of the main house, and there is a faint sound of coughing in the main room.
"Cuiying Xiaoqi, why are you here?" The second sister-in-law came out of the kitchen and was surprised and a little cramped to see them. I guess I'm afraid of seeing something strange in their eyes. After all, they called her the second sister-in-law, but the three of them were about the same age, and Cui Ying and Xiang Tianqi were only two years younger than her. It's just that she got married early, and she is the only one of the three who has the worst conditions. Although I don't say that there is a comparison, but let my good friends and good partners, anyone will be a little uncomfortable when they see themselves like this.
As if they didn't see her crampedness and what was being shown in front of them, the two of them rushed up as usual, and one of them put an arm around and said, "Second sister-in-law, you just don't welcome us?" ”
When the second sister-in-law saw them like this, she instantly relieved her heart when she was unharmed from before, "What's the matter, don't you take advantage of the time to rest at home and come to me, it's too late for me to be happy." ”
"That's good, if you really don't welcome the second sister-in-law, then I'll be sad." At this time, only Xiang Tianqi can liven up the atmosphere. So show an aggrieved expression.
The second sister-in-law couldn't laugh when she saw it, and the atmosphere between the few people was even more relaxed.
"The second sister-in-law actually came to you to discuss things in the shop, Brother Heqiang has gone to find Hesheng, we came to you, if you are okay this time, come with us to Grandpa's house." After the trouble, Xiang Tianqi got down to business.
The second sister-in-law hesitated when she heard this, and nodded, "You wait for me." After saying that, he went to the main house.
They only heard a faint sound outside, and after a while, the second sister-in-law came out.
"Let's go." The second sister-in-law said to the two of them.
The three of them walked to their hometown together, talking and laughing along the way.
When they got home, Heqiang and Hesheng were already there, and the two were building a new stove. Hearing a familiar voice come out, both of them turned their heads to look at where they came.
"You guys rest first, and I'll be right away with Hesheng." He Qiang said to the three of them.
Xiang Tianqi, Cui Ying and the second sister-in-law sat down around the table in the courtyard, there was tea on the table, poured water and drank it, and continued the topic just now.
"Hey, really, Cuiying, you haven't found a wishful husband to marry quickly." This is Xiang Tianqi said.
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." Cui Ying said Xiang Tianqi.
"Doesn't I have someone in my heart, so I won't look for you here. You can be different. Someone who lies and doesn't blush retorts, not at all guilty.
"Come less, my mother believes you, I don't believe you." Cui Ying didn't pay attention to someone's statement at all, although she had only known her for a short time, she seemed to have understood this person thoroughly.
"Don't try to believe me unless someone is there." Cui Ying saw that Xiang Tianqi was about to speak, and another sentence popped up.
Xiang Tianqi "......"
The second sister-in-law is already past that age, so she just looks at them and doesn't talk to her.
Silence and force followed and ascended.
He Qiang felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and looked at a few people but didn't speak, although they were closer, but after all, there was a difference between men and women, so it was better not to ask casually without knowing the situation. 、
"Did you tell your second sister-in-law?" and strong openings
"Oh, not yet." Xiang Tianqi hurriedly accosted and got out of the strange atmosphere.
"That's the second sister-in-law, I originally planned to add a new variety to Hutchison, but we couldn't do it for some reasons, so I wanted to give it to Zhenwei, so I called you all over, let's discuss what ......" Xiang Tianqi said the matter again and analyzed it. After speaking, I am waiting for everyone to speak.
"I don't have any opinion, I think it's very good, we can't do it now, and Xiang Tianqi also said just now, what kind of self-service hot pot will be made according to this in the future, and we will probably have a certain strength at that time, and with the publicity of Zhenwei, it is estimated that it will be more popular at that time, after all, Zhenwei is a restaurant, not a general consumption, but our shop is different." And Qiang first said what he thought.
Xiang Tianqi nodded, it makes sense, it will save a lot of trouble if it is convenient to publicize. And with the reputation of cherishing in front of it, it is difficult to make this not popular. It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to let He Lao pick people, increase the number of people, and the shop will have to expand.
Several other people also nodded, they didn't care much about the things in the store, and He Qiang and Xiang Tianqi thought it out very well, so they didn't have anything to worry about.
"And this time, when you go to Heqiang and Hesheng, I will ask Uncle Zhang to find someone to take you, even if you don't want to be a shopkeeper, you have to know something, especially if you plan to go out with me in the future, you have to know." Xiang Tianqi thought for a moment and said. Originally, she planned to teach them herself, but after thinking about it, forget it, after all, after a few of them went out, they would come forward more with Shenghe Heqiang, and it would be better to let them contact and learn from more professional people.
After saying this, several people were amazed, and it was okay with Sheng and the others, after all, they knew it on the way back, and Qiang was the most excited one.
"Really, really? What you said is true, we can really go with you in the future? He Qiang's excited words are not good, and there are three truths in a row.
"Well, after thinking about it, I decided to go together, firstly, I also have helpers, and secondly, there are always people in Heshi Village who want to go out. Privately, of course, I would have preferred it to you. Xiang Tianqi glanced at a few people, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, and he didn't feel embarrassed about his actions and ideas, people are selfish, and they are so generous and hypocritical.
Several people were moved when they heard Xiang Tianqi say his plans and thoughts unabashedly. Although they listened to it very strangely, they were not disgusted at all after hearing it.
We all know what kind of people we are, so I don't say much about gratitude, but keep it in my heart and express it with action.
It's just&......
"We also have to learn," Cui Ying said in unison with her second sister-in-law. They don't want to be in the back kitchen all the time, they want to do more to help Xiang Tianqi, and only if they know more, can they help her better. The two looked at Xiang Tianqi stubbornly, and there was a posture of not agreeing to them, and they would not give up.
Xiang Tianqi was speechless. These two.
"You two follow me. They can learn from the people of the Zhang Bo faction, you two girls can't go together, I'll teach you first, and then I'll send you out when I find the right person back. ”
After this matter was settled, he suddenly spoke to Sheng, "Then, in terms of manpower? He Sheng asked a more critical question. If they all study, the store will definitely be a little overwhelmed.
"In the past few days, I asked my grandfather and me to find two or three more people to come out and go with us. And in a year's time, we can train people in batches. So that when we leave, there will not be no one to take over the shop. "Xiang Tianqi has arranged everything.
After discussing it, a few people talked about it again, and then dispersed.
When he was eating, he and the patriarch and He Qiang were there, so they told the two old men the results of their discussion in the afternoon, and the two didn't say anything, but said that they would fully cooperate with them and let them rest assured outside.
After eating, resting for a while, He Qiang and the patriarch went home.
Xiang Tianqi boiled some water and planned to take a bath. Boil the water, bring the water to the house, close the door, take off your clothes, and start bathing.
"Oh, it's still the most comfortable to take a bath! Well, although the soap horn is a little worse, it smells good, and it is a taste that I like. Xiang Tianqi took a bath, humming a modern tune, drifting away with the sound of rushing water in the boundless night......
The next day.
"Cuiying, it's early!" After solving everything, taking a bath, and sleeping well, Xiang Tianqi was in a very good mood today!
"It's not early." Cui Ying unceremoniously stated the facts, looking up at the sun rising in the sky.
"Hehe" Xiang Tianqi didn't refute, just smirked. Then I went to the kitchen.
After eating, Xiang Tianqi had nothing to do in the courtyard, wandered around for a long time, and felt bored, so he dragged Cuiying and walked outside. She's not a dead house, there's nothing fun here, no computer or mobile phone, although she has a tablet, but what's the use of not being able to access the Internet, although there are a few movies, but you have to save watching it, you can't just watch it now, she has to find the entertainment facilities of this ancient society first, if she doesn't go out, she will go crazy sooner or later in this courtyard.
Cui Ying went out with her, and Xiang Tianqi walked around the village for a long time and didn't find anything interesting. It's also that this village is already poor, where is there anything fun, and it is estimated that the most fun thing is to go to the ground to catch grasshoppers!
(Oops, it was so dangerous last night, I almost broke the shift!) Scared my little heart fluttering! PS: I recommend a good movie to you, I just watched it today, it's particularly good "Jungle Pure Heart", which tells the story of a dog named Banji leading 4 little leopards to find hemp for them. Although it is a silent movie, it is better to be silent than sound. Very warm movie. I'll recommend another one to you tomorrow, it's all from the past two days. The reviews are all good, and I feel good too. )
