Li Hang's house in the city.

Wang Yuan said to Zheng Lian: "I don't have ginseng, but I have pine nuts, Uncle Zheng, do you want pine nuts?"

Zheng Lian, who was unshaven, was instantly disappointed, and asked casually, "How many pine nuts do you have?"

"More than 30,000 catties."

"Huh?" In an instant, Zheng Lian was taken aback: "Why do you have so many pine nuts?"

"Collected from the villagers, I think the pine nuts are delicious and a rarity, and this is almost the New Year, as long as the price is not too expensive, people will definitely be willing to buy it."

"Do you really have more than 30,000 pounds of pine nuts?"

Zheng Lian felt that what Wang Yuan said made some sense, he came from the capital to understand some of the situation there, and he had also eaten pine nuts after coming to the Northeast, and he vaguely felt that there was probably a market for pine nuts.

"Of course, don't worry, I won't lie to you."

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to my friends in the capital first, and then explore the market first."

"Okay."

Wang Yuan told Zheng Lian his address, asked him to go to himself if he really bought pine nuts, and asked him to make a decision quickly, and he would sell the pine nuts to others when it was too late.

Leaving Li Hang's house, Wang Yuan went downstairs directly to Li Shen's house.

Li Shen happened to be at home, he cut his hair short, and the whole person was very energetic, and after inviting Wang Yuan to sit down, he poured him tea again and again, and he felt that Wang Yuan's occasional words helped him a lot.

"How's the store looking?"

"Find one, 150 square meters, at an intersection west of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions......"

Li Shen sat on Wang Yuan's right, and after introducing the situation of the store, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Wang Yuan, and then he lit one himself and smoked it.

Spraying out two smoke rings, Li Shen said slowly: "I have carefully calculated, rented a store, renovated, recruited workers, and left some reserve funds, almost a total of 1,600 yuan!"

Brother Wang Yuan, you said before that you want to buy shares, how much money can you pay? ”

Li Shen felt that Wang Yuan didn't have much money, he knew that Wang Yuan sold a ginseng for nearly 5,000 yuan last time, but Wang Yuan said that he would share the money with a group of other people who went into the mountain, and Li Shen believed it.

Moreover, Li Shen knew that in the countryside, every family was very poor, and the money he earned would generally be handed over to the elders in the family, so he felt that Wang Yuan might not even be able to take out 100 yuan.

Through such a long period of contact, Wang Yuan also had a general understanding of Li Shen's character, and he understood that it was impossible for Li Shen to give up the controlling stake.

Besides, he won't be in the city often, and Li Shen is taking care of the restaurant when he opens a restaurant, so it is actually okay for Li Shen to hold the shares.

Wang Yuan's right index finger was bent and gently tapped on the tabletop:

"A total of 1,600 yuan? Well, what if I give 800 yuan but only need 49% of the shares? Usually, the restaurant has to be taken care of by you, and the remuneration is the extra 2% of the shares, what's the matter? ”

"What you're saying is a good idea, but I'm taking advantage of it."

"What's cheap or not, then it's decided."

"Okay, okay, it's almost noon, I'll invite you to dinner."

Li Shen was very excited, he didn't want to give up the controlling stake and wanted to partner with Wang Yuan to run the restaurant, and now Wang Yuan took the initiative to give up the controlling stake, which is undoubtedly the best.

After the two went downstairs, they got on their bicycles, and soon came to the nearest state-run hotel in the west, where four banners were swaying in the cold wind, which was a very "high-end" state-run hotel.

When you enter the door, you will be greeted by a lobby, with greasy tables on the floor, pictures of great people and some quotations hanging on the walls, and two waiters cleaning.

There is a food pick-up window inside, and you can faintly see people walking around in the innermost, and bursts of laughter and conversation are coming.

The two waiters glanced up at Wang Yuan and Li Shen, ignored them, and then cleaned up by themselves.

Li Shen took Wang Yuan to sit down by the window, he raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said, "We're here a little early, there is no food now, let's wait a while."

"yes, okay."

Wang Yuan is indispensable.

Yes, there is no food in the state-run restaurant until the meal. As for the early arrival of the guests...... Sorry, but what kind of thing is a guest, state-run hotels never get used to guests.

Love to eat but not to eat, not to eat and pull down.

After waiting for a while, a few guests came to the state-run hotel, and when the meal was ordered, they could order.

I ordered three dishes casually, and asked for some rice for 6 yuan, 4 cents and 6, as well as a pound and a half of food stamps.

"It's too expensive."

"It's okay, the state-run hotel has always been at this price, and the price has hardly increased in recent years."

Li Shen didn't eat breakfast, and now he is really hungry and eats a lot of dry rice.

Wang Yuan tasted the dishes, perhaps because he was used to eating lighter food, and felt that the dishes here were salty.

"If we want to open a restaurant, the price of food must be lower than here, as long as the attendance rate is higher, then even if the price of food is lower, it will be a lot of money."

"Mm-hmm, I made a note of it."

The attendance rate of the state-run hotel is too low, Wang Yuan is a little curious, can the money earned here cover various expenses?

However, Wang Yuan knew that even if this state-run hotel lost money, it would not be easy to close down, because the staff were all regular workers, and there was no very special reason, so how could regular workers be unemployed?

Moreover, in the eyes of some bigwigs, state-run hotels carry part of the heavy responsibility of "serving the people", and they feel that if some ordinary people don't want to eat at home, then they can come to state-run restaurants to eat, which is very good, so they can't go out of business.

After eating a meal, Wang Yuan and Li Shen left.

Li Shen went home, and Wang Yuan rode his bicycle back to Wangjiatun.

The next day, Wang Yuan sent 800 yuan to Li Shen, and the two still signed a cooperation agreement.

This morning.

The mother wanted to go back to her grandmother's house to visit relatives, Wang Yuan could only carry her, hang a bamboo basket on the right side of the back seat, and the little girl squatted in the basket.

The little girl still wanted to hold the cat, but the mother slapped her ass twice, and the little girl instantly gave in with tears in her eyes.

Bell bell bell ~

Wang Yuan took his mother and sister to the township first, after all, he couldn't go to his grandmother's house empty-handed, so his mother bought a bag of brown sugar, two bottles of canned food, some chicken cakes and a large bag of foreign fire.

The little girl squatted in the bamboo basket, poked her head out and looked out, staring directly at the small shop making fried cakes on the street, her face was full of longing, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva again and again.

Wang Yuan couldn't look at the little girl, so he asked his mother, who came back from shopping, to hold on to the handlebars, and then he walked to the small shop that sold fried cakes and bought fried cakes for 2 cents.

Seeing Wang Yuan walking back, the little girl directly stretched out her little hand happily: "Fried cake!"

"Be obedient after eating fried cakes."

"Mm-hmm, I'm obedient." The little girl took a few fried cakes wrapped in straw paper and ate them happily.

She ate very slowly, and every bite seemed to have to be carefully savored, and a few small fried cakes were eaten for more than an hour, and when Wang Yuan rode to her grandmother's house with her mother and little girl, she swallowed the last bite of fried cakes.

She also wanted to lick the grease stains on the papyrus, but was stopped by Wang Yuan.

"Alright, alright, it's almost done."
