Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 202 Two women are prone to slips of the tongue

"Sister Yanzi, my second brother is really capable, there are so many birds."

"I can't believe our family can eat so well. Is the noodle soup delicious?"

"Hmm~."

In the evening, Luo Yan made noodles for Luo Cheng alone. There was an egg in the noodles, which was very fragrant. But Luo Cheng didn't have much appetite anymore, so he stopped eating two bowls of noodles and half a bowl of soup.

And if I cook it for Luo Cheng alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat enough, so at least half the pot will be cooked. If it were anyone else's, the soup would be watery and it would be easy to eat five bowls of it.

The remaining soup is so watery that it is cheaper for Luo Yan and Zhang Hongxiu. The female beggar she took in was called Zhang Jie, and she was two months younger than Luo Yan. In fact, Luo Yan was also old enough to get married this year. She was sixteen years old when she got married in the townships. If she was not married by the age of eighteen, she would be punished in the townships. Talking nonsense.

In towns and villages, if there are still unmarried women who are twenty years old, they will be called old maids. In the future era, women in their thirties and forties will still call themselves girls.

Luo Cheng's parents did plan to marry Luo Yan this year. Now that they were of age, Luo Cheng had no objection. He is a person living in this era, and he thinks it is normal for his sister to marry someone at the age of sixteen.

Luo Cheng's plan was for Luo Yan to help take care of his wife, and Luo Yan would go back a month or two after the child was born. If she hadn't reached the age where she wanted to get married, there would be no problem in letting Luo Yan live with him for a year.

Not a bit of the noodle soup was wasted, and the two people in the kitchen ate it cleanly. Zhang Hongxiu looked at a bunch of dead birds of various sizes in the corner and said with some surprise.

If in my hometown, my family could get so many animals, they wouldn't have to run away because of lack of food. And there are some things on the road that are really hard to talk about. Fighting for a bite to eat is really life-threatening. Even if you are not killed, if you are injured, it is basically over. Normal people who have walked all the way here on their legs would not dare to come out alive, let alone injured.

Zhang Hongxiu was separated from his family, so he came here alone. At first, I ran away here with my family. My father got sick on the way, so I walked slowly. Slowness means that you can only find wild vegetables on the road that others haven't found. It was not only her parents and family members who fled here together, but also relatives.

Then the family asked Zhang Hongxiu to escape here with her relatives first, but she didn't expect to escape with her relatives. Within a few days, her relatives despised her as a burden. Then one morning, she woke up and found that she was alone. .

That day she felt helpless and wanted to go back to find her parents, but she didn't know where they could be. So I lingered in place for most of the day, hoping that by some miracle I would be able to see my parents or someone I knew. Unfortunately, the wait was in vain. In order to survive, I had no choice but to follow some people who were fleeing south and fled in confusion.

While drinking noodle soup, Zhang Hongxiu missed her family a little, but she didn't dare to show it. Whether she can see her family again in the future, she must survive first and wait until the disaster is over before she can get married. If her family members were still alive, they might return to their hometown in the future. When there was no disaster, she would find a way to go back to her hometown.

But the premise of everything is to live first, live well, and then pray that her family will also live safely.

Hongxiu, a name like this is considered a very good name for a girl these days. Luo Yan also thinks her name is nice, but in the future era, such a name will also be old-fashioned.

At night, the monkey was tied to the sawdust and was very quiet. Luo Yan and Zhang Hongxiu were chatting about things they should talk about at their age, such as Luo Cheng coming back. They agreed to take Zhang Hongxiu in, and when Luo Cheng came back, he would take her with him when he went to town again.

"Hongxiu, don't worry. In fact, the person you want to marry is a bit short, but he is still nice. He is not ugly either. I will visit you in the future."

"Well, I have to marry him whether he's good-looking or not. My second brother is really good-looking, and he's not even short for us in the north."

"My second brother never looked so good-looking before. Now that he's in the city, he looks much prettier. Let me tell you how my second brother met his second sister-in-law~~"

Originally, the two of them were talking about Chen Lezi, but somehow the topic shifted to Luo Cheng. In addition, when Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian are together, it can be regarded as a hero saving the beauty. Which girl is not pregnant.

While chatting, the two of them almost fell asleep. At night, Zhang Hongxiu had a dream, a nightmare. Maybe I am thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night, always thinking that I will get married in a few days. This time she was confused about marrying someone, and the dream was always inexplicable. She found out that the person she was marrying was Luo Yan's brother Luo Cheng.

In the dream, she always had doubts. Wasn't she marrying a short man? That man is Luo Cheng's good friend, how could it be Luo Cheng. But in her dream, she still hoped that this was the case, and she didn't want to marry the short person everyone said. But just when they were about to sleep together in the bridal chamber, they found out that the person had changed, the shorter one~~the shorter one, but even if it was the short one, there was no corresponding person in her mind.

In the end, the short man turned into a grinning monkey, very similar to the Congcong raised by the Luo Cheng family. This really scared her awake. The room was dark and it was dark outside. Zhang Hongxiu leaned against Luo Yan and lay there for a while before falling asleep again.

~~~

"Daughter-in-law, stop making trouble. Xiaofei~~, stop playing around. Why did you wake up so early today?"

"Haha, Luo Cheng, let's book the marriage this year. We can apply for a marriage certificate in two years at most."

I don’t know how many times this has caused confusion, and Liu Xiaofei was called Zhao Qian’s daughter-in-law. Fortunately, he was just calling his wife, not Zhao Qian's name.

In this era, the most intimate relationship between lovers is called husband and wife. Liu Xiaofei asked Luo Cheng why he suddenly called her daughter-in-law instead of wife. Don’t most people today call themselves husband or wife?

Luo Cheng didn't dare to call Liu Xiaofei his wife, because he was afraid that he would call her wrong if he returned to his own time, so he called Zhao Qian "wife out". Moreover, in his own era, Luo Cheng tried his best not to call Zhao Qian Qian, but instead called her daughter-in-law. A man with two women can only make the wrong call for a moment.

Although Luo Cheng called her wrong, calling her daughter-in-law was also a sign of intimacy. Originally, Liu Xiaofei woke up in the morning and saw Luo Cheng's normal physiological reaction, so she was bored and played for a while. As her daughter-in-law called her, she had to reward Luo Cheng and let Luo Cheng lie still and enjoy the comfort early in the morning.

Being young and energetic, even if he felt comfortable early in the morning, it was nothing to Luo Cheng. But I heard that some older men would never dare to do anything early in the morning if they have something to do during the day. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to do anything throughout the day.

Luo Cheng didn't have anything that needed to be busy. He just went to find a decorator. There were a few shops that needed to be renovated. The advertising sign will be replaced by one selling local chickens and eggs, and some simple equipment will be needed inside. Nowadays, there are special machines for removing hair from chickens. You can put the killed chicken in and spin it a few times and the hair will be almost gone.

In addition to the things in the store, Luo Cheng plans to go out somewhere again, but this time the place is not far away. There is a place where tomatoes are fed to pigs again, and Luo Cheng plans to collect them. As for these tomatoes, he plans not to sell them to make money. If you get your own era, even if you sell it for money, you are helping your own era, because what your era lacks is food, not money.

If a batch of tomatoes enters the market, it can at least solve the food problem in a small area. When there is a massive food shortage in many cities, there will inevitably be a shortage of food. This is actually the same as why not eat minced meat. No expert can say that if you don’t have food to eat, you won’t starve to death if you eat more vegetables.

This food is not enough to eat, so a lot of land will be planned to be planted. Whatever has a large yield will be planted to satisfy hunger. As for vegetables, such as a cabbage, it looks like a lot, but it contains a lot of water. We are not very hungry, and it is already a drought. If we can have water to irrigate and grow cabbage, we can grow food, and there will be no food shortage.

"How much dowry will your parents ask for?"

"You don't have to worry about it. Even if my parents want a gift as if they were selling their daughter, I can always buy it myself. I have so much money here that it's enough. If they really dare to ask for more, we'll give them everything. If you don’t do it, don’t let them mess with me next time. Go directly inside and have the baby and see what they do. If you don’t get married and have a baby now, the baby will be protected.”

Luo Cheng nodded. He didn't bother with anything, even when he was quarreling with Liu Xiaofei. What I was thinking was that if Liu Xiaofei didn't want to live with him, then forget it if he couldn't live with her. But I have never thought about sleeping with someone, and I can't take the initiative to say it.

As for the money with Liu Xiaofei, Luo Cheng actually kept a lot of secrets from her. For example, after he had his ID card, he secretly transferred the payment for the 'purchase' of eels, loaches, and turtles. It's not that Luo Cheng wants to hide money or something, but that he often buys things in his own era, which also costs money.

What's more, since the so-called suppliers no longer supply goods, it is impossible to keep the payment with them. So although the money from Liu Xiaofei was large, it still exceeded seven figures. But in fact, most of the money belongs to Luo Cheng, and in Liu Xiaofei's view, at least half of the money earned by the two of them belongs to her.

In addition to cash, Liu Xiaofei now drives a car worth hundreds of thousands. In her eyes, Luo Cheng had no defense against her. So Liu Xiaofei felt that if she really wanted to stay with Luo Cheng, if her parents asked for a betrothal gift, she would just have to spend some money.

When it comes to buying a house, the price of rooms in many places is now very low, and many people even give away their houses for free after losing money. Of course, it's not a free gift in the true sense, but because the down payment has been lost due to falling house prices, the loan to be repaid is higher than the house price, or almost the same.

Many people will give you their house for free, transfer the ownership to you, and you can slowly pay them back the remaining balance of the house. If it is not an urgent need, you can actually buy a house slowly.

Luo Cheng was rewarded by Liu Xiaofei until about eight o'clock. He lay down for a while to recover before getting up and going out. And Liu Xiaofei will not be too free today. Yesterday she just told her about the shortage of goods, and there are still many things to deal with later. I don’t know if there will be any trouble. The main reason is that everyone buys eels from her. She said that to save trouble, she doesn’t pay directly every time when getting the goods. They will only pay off the debt if they owe more than 20,000 yuan.

At that time, Liu Xiaofei was not afraid that they would not give her money, because they had to rely on her if they wanted to make money. But now that the goods are no longer available, Liu Xiaofei is also worried that some people will default on their orders. Now ten thousand or twenty thousand is not a lot of money for Liu Xiaofei, but she can't throw it away in vain. She will feel unhappy if she loses hundreds of dollars a day playing mahjong.

This cost money, so Liu Xiaofei felt that she had to go to her mother, so that she could scold outsiders without any sense of restraint. But for relatives and even elders, she couldn't curse them randomly. But her mother was different. To her mother, those relatives were either peers or juniors. If they didn't pay the money they owed, they would really scold her.

The most I can do is buy some nice things for my mother as a bribe. She is my mother anyway, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't do something to show her respect. But you must not take advantage of others.

So not long after Luo Cheng went out, Liu Xiaofei also dressed up beautifully and went out. When she went out with this image, her appearance was really pure. No one thought that she was with Luo Cheng. Many times, she was more exaggerated.

Luo Cheng went out to find decoration workers. It was just a simple renovation and there was no need to contact the decoration company. In this era, after a long time, there are not too many shops on hand. It is normal to know some workers who are engaged in decoration.

While Luo Cheng was waiting for the decoration workers to come over, Luo Cheng was boredly playing with his mobile phone. Suddenly, he received a message from Zhou Meng asking if he was going to practice driving today. Luo Cheng sent the message to him about the renovations he was going to make in the shop. I didn't expect that the other party was very interested in store design and so on. I wanted to come here to have a look and asked if I needed her to come over and give me some advice.

Originally, Luo Cheng didn't want to trouble others to come over, so he simply expressed his thoughts. Luo Cheng didn't have any decoration design skills. In the chat tool, Zhou Meng instantly gave a lot of suggestions. Selling local chicken is a specialty, and Luo Cheng's store must reflect its specialty.

Nowadays, many people actually pay attention to food, but most people cannot pay attention to it in such a social environment. The decoration done by Luo Cheng is similar to that of some ordinary chicken sellers, without a sense of class. Although Luo Cheng is taking the word-of-mouth route and slowly building up his business through word-of-mouth, this approach is good, but it is too slow.

But if the store decoration is unique, it doesn't cost much. When people enter, they will see various promotions in the store. Even if it's your first time here, after a brief introduction by the store clerk, you may feel that you are indeed selling authentic local chicken. You don't need word-of-mouth publicity to get customers from the beginning.

Luo Cheng was persuaded by Zhou Meng. He was originally asked by the other party, but later he took the initiative to invite him to help.

In just over half an hour, Zhou Meng came over, and then spoke eloquently in front of Luo Cheng. In fact, she just knew that Luo Cheng had no education, so he could only do what he did best. The plan she mentioned can actually be applied in many places on the Internet. Isn't it just the same promotional routine as selling tea?

You don’t need to spend too much money on decorating the store. Just make it look beautiful. Then install one or two display screens in the store to play some videos about raising native chickens every day. There are some promotional pictures on the wall, just like Lanzhou Ramen, they advertise that the beef they use is from a certain place. Luo Cheng's store can do the same thing and boast about the difference between native chickens and those fed in a month or two. Even after the native chicken is stewed, the meat texture and the chicken oil on the surface are different after stewing.

There is a saying, braised and stewed meat is indeed more delicious than some ordinary chicken. And some people don't eat ordinary chicken skin, but if it's native chicken, they will eat the chicken skin.
