"Shulun, you can't think so, I lease the store and decorate, this step will invest more than 700,000 yuan, plus other personnel, equipment costs, and daily grocery shopping costs, all add up, I can't imagine."

"It's fine if you make money, but if you don't make money, you will lose all your money."

Cao Zhen said to them: "You don't know, during the renovation period, I slept for two or three hours every day. ”

"Cao Zhen, you have indeed lost a lot of weight during this time." Cao Shujie didn't care about it at first, but after a closer look, he found that the clothes on Cao Zhen's body looked very loose and a little out of shape.

"That's not it, I haven't exercised for two months, and I have lost more than a dozen pounds, and the fat that I finally raised is gone." Cao Zhen teased himself.

Hearing Cao Zhen's words, Cao Shulun immediately sobered up, and he had an incredible expression on his face: "Cao Zhen, just a store like you, you invested more than 700,000 yuan?" ”

"Or else."

Cao Zhen pointed to the store, he said: "The annual rent of this place alone is more than 500,000 yuan, and the decoration cost another 200,000 yuan. ”

"If it weren't for Shujie...... Cao Zhen's words suddenly stopped.

He wanted to say that if he hadn't helped Cao Shujie get apples last year, which forced him to pay 200,000 yuan for labor fees, he would have to find someone else to raise money now.

Investing in this store basically drained the two of them and their family.

Cao Shulun didn't hear what he said clearly, but he didn't pay attention to that either.

He silently calculated an account in his heart, and kept muttering in his mouth: "My good man, so your total investment is almost one million?" ”

Cao Zhen smiled and said nothing.

Cao Shuyang came back from the back kitchen and gave Cao Zhen a thumbs up: "It's so clean." ”

"I watched them post news on the Internet, and many restaurants have dirty kitchens, and you don't have that kind of situation here." Cao Shuyang said.

Cao Zhen nodded, and he said: "The first thing I ask them is to clean up the hygiene, and whoever doesn't do it well will be fired, which is not humane." ”

"I now believe that your store will definitely become bigger and stronger." Cao Shuyang said with a smile.

Cao Tiemin and Cao Fei also returned here after a circle.

Cao Zhen got up and went to arrange the serving.

He said, "You guys have a taste of authentic Xinjiang cuisine today, it's really good." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhen walked towards the back kitchen.

Cao Shuyang, Cao Shulun, Cao Tiemin and Cao Fei are all looking forward to it.

Cao Tiemin also said that Cao Fei works in the five-star department store, and Cao Zhen has been open here for a few days, hasn't he come to taste it?

"You don't know how busy Cao Zhen is here these days, from 11 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, without a break in between, I am embarrassed to come over and trouble him."

Cao Fei remembered that there were so many people in Cao Zhen's shop, and he still felt incredible.

However, he also did advertising planning for Cao Zhen's new store opening here, and vigorously promoted this 'Xinjiang Hotel'.

He thought to himself, maybe some people who came to eat wanted something fresh.

After all, there are almost no people in Yiling City who specialize in Xinjiang cuisine, and for the people of Yiling City, Xinjiang cuisine is an unpopular cuisine.

It makes sense to try it out.

Cao Zhen came back in five or six minutes, and he said, "I'll let the chef make it, just wait a while, you can try it and give me some suggestions." ”

After a while, the waiter brought 6 servings of old yogurt.

The thick milky white yogurt is placed in a small blue and white porcelain crockpot, and a few red wolfberries are sprinkled on the surface, which is very appetizing to look at.

Cao Tiemin couldn't wait to dig a spoonful and put it in his mouth, he shook his head and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

Cao Zhen also said: "This is just the beginning, there are other dishes, just eat slowly." ”

Later, XJ large plate of chicken, stewed mutton, naan wrapped meat, naan pit roast lamb chops, shredded cantaloupe, hotan watermelon roast, red willow branch roast, hand-grabbed mutton, green pepper stewed Bosten Lake carp, sour soup fat beef and belly meat.

"It's all meat, and there's not a single vegetable." Cao Fei also shouted.

Cao Zhen said brightly: "You come, I will definitely let you eat the best." ”

"Eat some meat for me first, and then let them make two greens." Cao Zhen had to go to the back kitchen again.

This time, he was pulled by Cao Shujie and Cao Tiemin together: "These dishes are enough to eat, let's serve them after eating, we can't finish eating and wasting them." ”

"It's fine." Cao Zhen still wanted to stand up, but this time even Cao Shuyang and Cao Shulun held him down and didn't let him serve food anymore.

Wine is indispensable.

A few people don't drink beer, just drink white.

Seeing the liquor, Cao Shujie still remembered something, he said to Cao Fei: "Cao Fei, you have to help me contact a wine seller and get two boxes of good wine." ”

"Do you still want Moutai?" Cao Fei was numb.

Why did he have such a freak in his hair?

But having said that, Cao Shujie is not only making a fortune himself, but also leading the whole village to develop together, and even their family is a beneficiary.

"Moutai has two boxes, is there anything else?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Fei said: "I also know a general agent who sells Luzhou Laojiao, why don't you get two boxes of 1573?" ”

"That'll do fine." Cao Shujie agreed.

For ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with these wines, but they are expensive.

Hearing that Cao Shujie was going to buy wine again, several people also encouraged Cao Fei to hurry up and call the wine seller and ask them to send the wine over.

"If you send it now, we'll drink it directly." Cao Shuyang said: "If it weren't for drinking Moutai at Shujie's house during the Chinese New Year, I would have never tasted such an expensive wine in my life." ”

"What kind of wine is that 1573?" He asked.

"Luzhou Laojiao, this wine is also very good."

When Cao Zhen heard this, he urged Cao Fei to hurry up and call the wine seller.

He also said that if compared to these two wines, the wine he brought was not worth mentioning.

Looking at a group of bears who were so young, Cao Shujie directly told Cao Fei to ask him to call the wine seller to see if he could send the wine over now.

If I can deliver it, I'll drink it at noon today.

"Then I'm really calling." Cao Fei said.

Cao Shujie was not ambiguous at all: "You just call." ”

Cao Fei called on the spot.

They all delivered wine to five-star department stores, and Cao Fei's call was good.

After listening to Cao Fei's words, both sides agreed to arrange for someone to bring the wine over.

Cao Fei also told them, and brought the credit card machine over by the way.

The dishes in the back came up one after another, and he said that a few people were stunned that they hadn't taken a sip of wine, and they were all waiting for the person who delivered the wine to come.

Eating the food, I filled my stomach half-full, and then waited until someone brought the wine.

Looking at Luzhou Laojiao 1573, after Cao Shujie finished paying, he directly opened the box and took out two bottles.

"Hey, brothers, for the sake of good wine and good food, let's drink one first." Cao Tiemin smelled the aroma of wine and was uncomfortable.

Several others also raised their glasses: "Drink." ”

With this mouthful, everyone went down a third of the way.

When they put down their wine glasses, they tasted the aroma of wine one by one, and their faces showed intoxicated expressions, and they didn't know if it was the real thing or pretending.

"Ouch, thinking about this day, I really didn't dare to think about it before." Cao Fei was full of emotion.

He remembered that when he was working in a five-star department store in Pingyuan County, he earned more than 2,000 yuan a month, and he didn't dare to do anything.

It's like now that the income is higher and there is more time.

As the people he slowly came into contact with were different, Cao Fei's vision and insight were different from before.

He sighed this way, and several other people also had the same feeling in their hearts.

Cao Shulun said: "I didn't expect to become an employee of a central enterprise one day. ”

"Hey, that's it." Cao Shuyang said.

"It's just that the unit is better, the welfare is a little better than that of ordinary enterprises, and nothing else."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Fei muttered to him: "Shuyang, you just stand and talk without backache, or you resign and apply for a job in an ordinary company, are you willing?" ”

Cao Shuyang, who was blocked by a word, stopped talking.

In fact, that's what happened, this mountain looks at that mountain high.

It's like when Cao Shulun heard Cao Zhen say that he was very busy running his own restaurant, he was very envious that Cao Zhen could make a lot of money now, but he was unwilling to let him resign and invest in opening a hotel by himself.

I have no confidence in my heart.

Cao Shujie saw the expressions of these partners in his eyes, thinking that they had been playing together since childhood, and they didn't think about anything at that time, as if they were all worried about their careers now.

"It's better when I was a child, I didn't have a heart or lungs at that time, and I wasn't so tired." Cao Shujie came to say this.

Several people nodded in agreement when they heard him say this.

One by one, when they were young, they went to the field to steal melons, went to the river to fish, and went to the orchard to steal apples.

"I didn't expect the stolen watermelon to be grown in our family's field." Cao Shujie complained.

This is a shadow that he will never erase for the rest of his life.

Now I can still think of his mother Wang Yuelan angrily scolding, saying that which bastard stole the melons in their field?

As soon as Cao Shujie asked his mother where the melon field was, he knew that they were the bastards who did it.

He hadn't said anything about it until now.

I also remember that when they went to the orchard to steal apples, they were chased by the dog in the orchard, jumped into the river, and swam to the other side before throwing off the dog.

"Shuyang, do you remember that a girl wrote to you when you were in elementary school, grandma, I still don't know who told the secret, throw this pot on me, and let Cao Lianfeng tear up all my books." Cao Zhen was indignant.

After counting it carefully, I suddenly realized that there were so many stupid things I did at that time.

"Brother and drink one more, it's a waste to drink less of such a good wine." Cao Tiemin shouted.

He drank all the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Several others are not far behind.

Cao Shujie didn't plan to go back today, he thought about waiting for a while to finish drinking, put the car in the parking lot of the five-star department store, and go to find a nearby hotel to open a room to live in.

"If any of you have time at night, I invite you to go to KTV and yell twice." Cao Shujie asked.

Hearing him say this, except for Cao Zhen, who wanted to see the store at night, several other people responded.
