Men and women eating in the courtyard

"Hey! Chicken, potatoes and mushrooms!"

"Another specialty, spicy tofu!"

Sha Zhu gently threw the big spoon in his hand onto the stove and scooped a ladle of cold water into the pot.

He shouted that the six dishes for tonight were all on the table.

Lao Ba and Lao Jiu were willing to work in the kitchen and learn from him by helping him, but he didn't care.

Cooking has never been a top-notch industry that needs to be kept secret to maintain orthodox inheritance since ancient times. There is no rule that it can be passed on to men but not women, or passed on to insiders but not outsiders.

Whether the skills are good or not is related to the time of practice and the degree of concentration. For the knife skills, no matter how smart you are, you have to work hard.

As for the mastery and adjustment of taste, you have to rely on your continuous practice and taste again and again to know what the "appropriate amount" mentioned by the master is.

You have to think about it if you want to learn skills from a Northeast chef.

Why?

Because the masters in Northeast China will say to you "yi nienie", "yi gulu", "yi xiaoga", "yi ga da"...

"Okay, don't clean up, eat first"

Sha Zhu rubbed Lao Ba's head, indicating that he didn't need to take care of the pot on the stove, and asked them to wash their hands and go in to eat.

These two boys also wanted to please him, and they cleaned up with him every time, which was very active.

After getting along for a long time, although Sha Zhu didn't say that he wanted to take in apprentices, wouldn't it be a good thing to have someone to help?

There were fewer people at the recycling station, and his wife didn't go to work while taking wages, so he had to work harder.

Shen Guodong was kind and righteous, and Sha Zhu was not a fool. He took care of two of the three meals at the recycling station, and it was all his work on Sunday.

The boys also became smart after reading, and they knew that if they wanted to survive in this world, they had to have some extraordinary skills.

The six brothers in front followed Brother Biao and others to go out and make a living early. Although the letters said that everything was good, they didn't know whether it was good or not.

If it was really good, why would they run so far and beg for food at home!

The more these kids stayed at home, the more they felt a sense of crisis and urgency to study.

The previous brothers all mentioned in their replies that they should cherish their time and study hard.

It is only when they are exposed to the most intense social competition that they realize their weakness.

Sales is always the most transparent position to hone people's will and test their comprehensive strength.

As the old saying goes, many skills are not a burden. There are many craftsmen in the recycling station, but the only one that is really easy to get started seems to be Sha Zhu's cooking.

Let's not talk about the second master's antique appraisal, and it takes time. The carpenter of the grandmother can't just be strong, but also have brains.

The Chinese medicine of the old uncle of the Li family is awesome, but medicine is not only based on hard work, but also spirituality.

Otherwise, why do you think that only one of the four children of the Li family inherited the mantle of Uncle Li.

Brother Biao told them not to feel pressured. At worst, they could learn to brag from him. It was a skill to fool people.

After listening to Brother Biao's words, they felt more pressured. Some of the other boys were studying mathematics with books, some wanted to learn accounting from Sister Yafang, and some wanted to learn carpentry from their grandfather. At worst, they could become woodworkers.

The eighth and ninth brothers were the smartest. They chose a skill that would not starve them to death.

When they entered the house, the east room was bustling because of Li Xuewu's return and the six dishes on the table.

They squeezed into the seats that had been reserved for them. They first greeted the second master and grandfather at one end of the table, and then smiled and said hello to Li Xuewu.

The grandfather was kind and waved his hand with a smile, indicating that they should eat quickly.

The second master was happy to see that the boys were polite and well-educated, and his face was more smiling.

Shen Guodong waved to Sha Zhu who walked into the house and said, "Brother Zhu, come, let's have a drink."

"No, no, you can't drink much." Sha Zhu stood at the door with a smile, watching everyone eat happily, he was more satisfied. Erye asked him to come to the table to eat, he just took a cup of tea and responded, saying: "You eat first, I'm not hungry yet." The cook's old problem, the meal is done, and the stomach is not hungry. "What are you doing? Are you eating in the kitchen!" Yu Li smiled and teased him, then said to Diliya: "Sister-in-law, Zhuzi brother's belly is about to catch up with you." "Well, it's just right to be pregnant with twins!" He Yushui teased her brother and said: "Look at that belly, my brother is bigger than my sister-in-law~" Diliya was teased by them, smiled and gently bumped Yushui, looked at Sha Zhu, and said: "His appetite has really increased recently, maybe it's because of the medicine." "It's tiring!"

Sha Zhu sat on the kang, holding a teacup and scolding them: "Just think about how busy I am in this day!"

"Starting from the morning, I have to burn the stove, pour coal ash, make breakfast and boil water!"

"After a day's work, I have to cook dinner, wash clothes and clean the house when I get home!"

He complained: "Now I am the cook and the old woman, and I am so tired that I am fat!"

"You are really talking!"

Yu Li said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that we women serve you men. When I get pregnant, you can't serve me for a few days, right!"

"Dilya!"

She turned her head and said with a smile: "Such men have no responsibility at all. Let's find another one later and find a good father for the child!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Silly Zhu waved his hand and said to Yu Li: "I have heard of temples being demolished, but I have never heard of marriages being demolished. I have not offended you!"

"No offense, just envious of me!"

Yu Li glared at him and said, "Are you complaining? Or are you showing off!"

"explain!"

Yu Yu followed beside him and said, "Are you happy or unhappy, willing or unwilling to serve my sister-in-law?"

"I……"

Silly Zhu glanced at his wife, quickly stood up, and said to Shen Guodong who was watching the excitement: "You haven't poured the wine yet, I said I didn't drink, and you insisted on letting me drink."

"Hahaha!"

Shen Guodong placed a wine cup on the seat next to him and said jokingly: "If you don't come to this table, man, you have to challenge Sanniang's Education Bureau, so be honest now!"

"Don't talk about me either!"

Silly Zhu sat down and said to Shen Guodong: "My today is your tomorrow. When Xiaoyan becomes pregnant, you will know your brother's suffering."

"Not always!"

Shen Guodong smiled and choreographed: "No matter how hard and tiring it is to serve a pregnant daughter-in-law, I won't complain."

"Fuck~!"

Silly Zhu held the wine glass, stared at him and said, "Okay! I got a knife in front of you at the kang table. I'll give you a knife in the back!"

"drink wine!"

He poured his wine glass and said loudly: "I have to get you down today!"

"Hmm~ I'm so scared!"

Shen Guodong picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, jokingly saying: "I just want to see if you can still pick up the second glass after drinking this one!"

"Hiss~"

Si Zhu had a glass of wine in his stomach, turned back and glanced in the direction of the kang table, and when he saw Delia's eyes sweeping over, he glared.

"What are you looking at! After drinking this glass of wine, no one can try to persuade me! You are my wife and you can't help me!"

He turned around, slammed the wine glass, and said harshly to Shen Guodong, who was looking over with a smile: "I won't drink if I say you won't!"

"Brother Zhu, you are so pissy! What a man!"

Shen Guodong is very bad. He will never let him go now. He keeps making trouble.

Xiaoyan sat on the edge of the kang, fearing that they would get into trouble, so she yelled at Shen Guodong and said, "Okay, let's learn from Brother Zhu. The Gu family is considerate, so I don't know how much better than you."

"Yes! I dare you to be afraid of one too!"

Silly Zhu smiled and nodded to Shen Guodong, saying: "We are the eldest brother, let alone the second brother, and our family status is not very good!"

"I'm better than you"

Shen Guodong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "At least I don't have a girl with her elbows turned out."

"Brother, you said my heart is gone"

Silly Zhu suddenly hugged Shen Guodong and started "crying", complaining even more: "You understand me best~"

"I really shouldn't ask you to ask for your wife!"

Yu Yu glared at the two people sitting on the table, glanced across the room, and said, "No man is good!"

"!!!"

Li Xuewu, who was watching the excitement with his rice bowl, was suddenly stunned. He turned his head to look in the direction of the kang table and met Yu Yu's eyes.

When Yu Yu saw him looking over, his eyelids drooped, and he turned away to eat again.

This pole swept away all the men eating at the table. The eldest grandma and the second master just smiled and didn't care about the young man's laughter. The few boys looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and continued to lower their heads to eat.

Sister Yuyu said that men are not good at all, and they are still far from bad guys.

Now you have to eat well, grow in shape, and exercise more. In the future, they will also let women say that they are not good!

In the past, when there was a group in this room, there would be at least thirty people eating together, and they would not be able to catch up if they spoke too slowly.

Today, Li Xuewu came back, and Yu Li also came back to eat for nineteen people.

This has to include Fei Shanying's son Zhang Xinmin. There is only one table on the kang, and the big table on the floor is not full now.

It's still lively, but it's not as noisy as before. There's no old Biaozi shouting at the dinner table, and there's no more Wen San'er's nagging.

Li Xuewu didn't speak much, he just listened to everyone and let them chatter.

After the meal, several boys rushed to clear the table and then went to clean the kitchen.

Li Xuewu followed his grandfather and others to the West Room to drink tea, and the lesbians also followed him chattering.

Whenever Li Xuewu comes back for a meal, he will definitely hold a small meeting after the meal to summarize and help the recycling bin, the sales department, and each of them personally.

In the past, when Lao Biaozi was here, he was not only in charge of the recycling station, but also in charge of business contact with other departments in the capital, and also in charge of Steel City and other places.

At that time, Lao Biaozi and Li Xuewu had finished reporting on matters in the capital, and they also wanted to talk about work in other places.

Now Yu Li and Su Qing have set up a management office in the club, and the work of contacting various recycling bins has been transferred to the office.

Even the business in the capital was divided into three, and Shen Guodong took over the foreign trade work.

Xiaoyan is in charge of the recycling station's store, and grandpa is in charge of the recycling station's scrap and furniture business.

When Li Xuewu held another meeting, they only reported on their own management work, basically talking about small things at the recycling bin.

Because the more important work had to be reported to the management office, Li and Su Qing sorted it out and handed it over to Li Xuewu for unified processing.

Therefore, Li Xuewu came back less, and every time he called for a meeting, he listened more and spoke less.

They were all familiar with the work of the recycling bin, and he didn't need to teach them how to do it.

Even the accounts had to be sent to a prison for accounting and the money was deposited in the bank, so there was very little he could say.

Shen Guodong is impatient, especially when it comes to work, but he first talked about the business adjustments at the No. 1 Prison.

Because the papermaking and printing businesses have to be relocated, the sales business of stationery such as miniature books, red books, and notebooks also needs to be adjusted.

The purchase of raw materials, the purchase of logs in Jicheng, the greenhouse vegetables on the mountain, etc., were talked about a lot.

There were no outsiders in the house. Fei Shanying didn't listen to these things and led the child and Delia, who was also pregnant, to the backyard.

After Wang Yamei had dinner, she followed Wang Yajuan, who came to pick her up, back home. There were only a few people in the house.

To say that it didn't matter, it was Si Zhu and Yu Yu who were brothers and sisters. One was lying on the kang and relaxing, and the other was sitting on the kang table drinking tea.

Li Xuewu used to sit cross-legged on the edge of the kang, leaning against the kang cabinet. The desk happened to be next to him, and Yu Li was sitting on the edge of the desk.

While Shen Guodong was nagging, Yu Li saw Li Xuewu sitting on the other side of the kang and glanced at him from time to time.

"Huang Qian told me about the matter in the First Prison."

Li Xuewu put down his tea cup and said to Shen Guodong, who was complaining: "The papermaking will have to be moved sooner or later, and now you won't have to worry about the procurement of raw materials."

"Chadian is under the control of Huang Qian's father. The paper packages are transported directly to Xicheng No. 3 Prison. From now on, you can only ask Zhong Jing about printing."

"Speaking of Chadian, you want to ask Huang Qian and Zhong Jingxue to go there?"

Li Xuewu patted the rain and kicked his feet from behind, and told Shen Guodong: "Their deputy director is Huang Qian, so it's best to get in touch with him."

"The papermaking industry doesn't require me to go there."

Shen Guodong raised his eyebrows and said: "Huang Qian told me that he made the contract for the paper mill, half of which is still in our hands, and the other half will be transferred to Chadian Farm as a prison, and he will support the management."

"Even if Huang Gan takes over, you still have to know who the cooperators are!"

Li Xuewu glanced at him and said, "I'm asking you to make more friends and get to know more people, but I'm not forcing you to go on a blind date. You should consider yourself a big girl!"

"Twerk!"

Feeling that Yu Yu's feet behind him were dishonest, Li Xuewu turned his head and glanced at her, warning her not to go too far.

As if Yu Yu didn't see it, he lay behind his grandfather and played hide-and-seek with him.

"You should go around first and see how the food they grow is like and whether it can be included in the distribution scope."

Li Xuewu took a sip from the tea cup, and then explained: "They are making wine, but the quality is not good. Next year the steel rolling mill will build a winery, so you have to be in advance."

"Also, they want to engage in furniture production. You go and negotiate the supply of raw wood, and then take down the furniture distribution agency and merge it into the joint trade project of the steel rolling mill."

"The last thing is animal husbandry"

Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said: "If Chadian Farm can cultivate land, it can also breed pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys. You can find a way to coordinate them. Next year, the steel rolling mill will also engage in food processing."

“It’s about doing it in the supply chain.”

Shen Guodong understood now, and combined with the business principles that Brother Wu had told him before, he knew what was going on.

The recycling station still does not engage in production itself, let alone business sales. It only serves as a trade bridge between units.

With the steel rolling mill as the core, it connects the upstream and downstream of production, provides production needs for all units under the trade chain, and provides sales direction.

Chadian Farm needs to expand its production scope, and the recycling station will provide project development direction.

Including equipment and original production materials, helping the farm move in the direction required by the recycling bin.

The products are transferred from the recycling station to the food processing factory. The products produced by the food processing factory then pass through the local offices and are connected to the recycling station for distribution to local areas.

"First understand the situation before talking."

Li Xuewu didn't expect him to do it in one step, but warned him: "Whether Huang Gan says it's OK, you have to see it for yourself."

"Brother Wu will teach you how to be careful."

Xiaoyan came over with a teapot to help Li Xuewu refill the water, and reminded Shen Guodong: "We are a family. When you leave this door, you should think more about what you do."

"Well, I was thinking about it."

Shen Guodong took a sip of tea, put the tea cup forward so that she could refill the tea, and said: "One is grain and the other is wood. Combined with the paper mill, if you want to talk about animal husbandry, you have to pinch the other person's arm to talk."

"Be flexible and don't be too tough. You are here to provide projects. You are the boss, so it's not up to you to negotiate!"

Xiaoyan refilled the hot water for her grandpa and second master, and then poured him a cup of tea.

"Don't talk about food first when we go. Let's talk about papermaking and furniture first, and let them continue the conversation."

"If you want to talk about papermaking, their tea lake is surrounded by reed ponds. Some people must say that the foundation for cooperation must be laid first."

"If you talk about furniture, talk about Xicheng No. 3 Prison, talk about the current sales situation and channels, they are right."

Xiaoyan refilled hot tea for everyone, and kept saying to herself: "They have reed ponds, and what about the forest farm?"

"When the time comes when you mention the Jicheng Forestry project and the steel rolling mill trading project, they will first respect you."

"How many hands are capable of transporting wood to Guanli? They themselves have to consider who you represent."

"People are naturally reluctant to let go of the small wineries they build. If you want other people's food, you have to give them a better choice."

"At this time, if we talk about animal husbandry, providing good breeds, and ensuring meat procurement, then we will have everything."

"Hehe~"

Shazhu was lying on the kang, looking at Shen Guodong who was "listening to the lecture", and smiled: "Why don't you switch positions with Xiaoyan, you take charge of the interior, and let Xiaoyan take charge of the exterior."

"I'll listen to you, you're everywhere"

Shen Guodong turned around and punched him, and saw that he hid and didn't chase him, but looked back at Brother Wu opposite, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Xiaoyan gave her boyfriend face, smiled and borrowed Shazhu's words and said: "It's okay for me to advise him, but if I really go, I'm also scared."

"I know what to do"

Shen Guodong had the face given by Xiaoyan, picked up the teacup and said: "Tomorrow I will contact Jicheng first, then ask about the situation in the border area, and then go to the first prison to find Huang Gan."

"Take your time"

Li Xuewu glanced at Xiaoyan, nodded, and said: "The winery and food factory of the steel mill are expected to start production by the end of next year. You have time to deal with this matter slowly."

"As for the vegetables and breeding on the mountain, you have to think about it. You can talk to your uncle or Political Commissar Xiaoqin. It's best to expand the area. Isn't it profitable now?"

"Yes, it's profitable"

Shen Guodong scratched his chin and reported: "You don't have to look outside. The steel mill, branch office and other departments can take these in."

"Last time I met Political Commissar Zhao, he mentioned that the area of ​​greenhouse planting will be expanded next year, and the supply of winter vegetables will be increased."

"Well, you take care of this"

Li Xuewu pinched his nose and said: "I'm going to Tianjin on a business trip tomorrow. I have to bring a batch of vegetables when I come back. You can contact me in advance. I'll give you the address at that time, and you can contact the fleet to pick it up."

"How much?"

Shen Guodong was stunned. He didn't know why Brother Wu suddenly said that he wanted to bring back a batch of vegetables.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know, probably more than 50 tons, all kinds of vegetables, also greenhouse vegetables."

"That's valuable"

Shen Guodong's eyes lit up and said, "After the winter, the greenhouse vegetables have come down, and the price has increased several times. It's not easy to buy them."

"Well, you think about dealing with them"

Li Xuewu said indifferently, "There will be about four batches, until after the New Year."

"This is really..."

Shen Guodong's surprise at this moment has increased a bit, and everyone in the room is looking at him in amazement.

"Brother Wu, there won't be any trouble, right?"

Others don't know the nature of the large-scale supply of vegetables in winter, but Shen Guodong, who has been working on this supply, knows it best.

There are also several greenhouse vegetable planting bases around the capital, and the whole commune grows vegetables.

In the past, it couldn't meet the vegetable purchasing needs of city residents, let alone this year.

The reclamation area of ​​the Weisan Regiment on the mountain built a large greenhouse. When off-season vegetables came down, he contacted the canteens of various units to supply them, except for the canteens of the training ground.

The canteen of the steel mill alone was a major purchaser, with a supply of more than 10,000 people a day, and no matter how much they supplied, it would not be enough.

Of course, off-season vegetables were too expensive, so even if they purchased them, they dared not buy too much at once.

The cadres' meals in the small canteen had fresh vegetables, while the large canteen was still mainly potatoes and cabbage.

Except for the canteens of the steel mill, the rest were all supplied to the supply and marketing cooperative through Director Ma.

Just for the greenhouse vegetables, after three months, all the initial investment had been recovered, and the next few months would be pure profit.

Otherwise, why did he say that the Weisan Regiment did not need his reminder, and only fools would not do profitable business.

After a year of hard work, the production investment for this year and next year was already there.

Qi Yaowu was very ambitious. He wanted to build a complete training base on the mountain, a large base that could accommodate tanks, artillery, and even helicopters.

Now he has a regiment, if he does well, maybe he will have a brigade next year.

The current situation is very special, people from above are constantly coming down, and people from below have to fill in.

Qi Yaowu will naturally not take the initiative to pull anyone down, but if there is a vacant position, relying on his own efforts and the current achievements of the Wei San Regiment, he will be able to stand out in the garrison sooner or later.

A vegetable is linked to the fate of so many people. Anyone who is related to this line dare not underestimate their common interests.

Shen Guodong intervened in this relationship as a recycling station on behalf of Li Xuewu, and he had to be cautious.

Li Xuewu knew very well how these vegetables in his hands came from, and they were not the illegal channels that Shen Guodong was worried about.

But he couldn't explain it too clearly to Shen Guodong, for fear that he would play too much.

"No trouble, just think about it carefully"

Li Xuewu took a sip of tea and explained, "As long as it is distributed through existing channels, there will be no problem."

"Yeah, I understand"

Shen Guodong is just good, cautious, sensible, and obedient.

Li Xuewu left him at the recycling station because he saw that his personality was not suitable for going out to explore the market.

"You calculate the income this time and directly make up for my summer loan."

"Yes, I'll remember it."

Shen Guodong knew which account Wu Ge was talking about. Starting from May, Wu Ge would sell a batch of vegetables from the mountain every Saturday.

Until October, all vegetables were out of supply, and the money from the sale of these vegetables was used as a loan in the account.

Because of the special nature of this matter, Brother Wu personally contacted the accountant, and the money has always been on the account.

Although the recycling bin business belongs to everyone, it may be a loan, and it has been borrowed for such a long time. Only Brother Wu can give the green light.

Even my third uncle who is far away in Hong Kong City can't do it. Accounts are accounts and money is money.

They didn't know what Brother Wu had done with the money, but now they could pay it off before the end of the year and be rich, which was something he didn't expect.

This money and accounts, plus these vegetables, even if he killed him, he would never think that there was any relationship between the three.

However, Li Xuewu estimated in his mind that with the sale of more than two hundred tons of vegetables, the shortfall caused by Sister Lou and the others going to Hong Kong City this year and filling in the recruitment and training of the club and Dongfeng Fleet can basically be settled. .

It’s not like they didn’t make money after hard work this year. Clubs that are losing money also have operating profits.

All the ships of the Dongfeng fleet have gone to sea. From the port city to Jinmen, in addition to carrying the freight business of the Jinmen Port Terminal, they also take over the material transportation business of the Yingcheng Shipyard of the steel rolling mill.

The investment in the construction of other recycling stations this year is also not small, but they are continuing to create profits.

Generally speaking, the capital is the base camp, and the operations here are the most stable and solid. Guarding the steel rolling mill makes a lot of money just from trade and distribution.

Coupled with the revenue from other projects, judging from the business report given by my sister-in-law Zhao Yafang today, this year is not a waste of money, but the actual cash available is not much.

The investment in the port city is quite expensive. The gold given to Sister Lou is just hard currency, deposited in the bank vault to strengthen their courage. The goods brought to the port city through the fleet for cash are the capital for their operations.

More than two hundred tons of vegetables are naturally not much capital in the face of so many projects and such a large investment.

But it became the last piece of the puzzle for Li Xuewu to fill this year's revenue deficit.

Supplementing this money is not only for the good appearance of the account statements, but also for the normal operation of other projects.

This includes building a supply chain, continuing to invest in the fleet, buying ships, recruiting crew members, providing training funds, etc.

The second master saw that the atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, knocked the pipe and pot in his hand, and said to Li Xuewu: "Our antique business is going to stop."

"Uh-huh?"

Li Xuewu just came back to his senses, and after answering casually, he looked at the second master in surprise.

The second master raised his head slightly and explained: "The wind seems to have blown away. There are no people coming to sell antiques. There are also fewer people coming to exchange for red books and badges. I haven't even met one for more than ten days."

“There are not many kids on the street”

Shen Guodong echoed: "I haven't heard of people who blocked homes and ransacked their homes in the past. I heard that people from other places would be sent back to their place of origin."

"Well, I know that."

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "If it stops, just stop it. This wind will pass sooner or later."

The second master took a puff of cigarette clearly and asked slowly: "Do you want to open the brand and collect it directly?"

"I know your concerns"

He looked at Li Xuewu and nodded, and said: "What I want to say is that we still collect it in the name of old and tattered, but quietly increase the purchase price or raise the exchange standard."

"What do you think?"

Li Xuewu glanced at him, moved back, and sat directly on Yuyu's feet, refusing to let go no matter how much she kicked him.

He asked Er Ye what he thought. Actually, he wanted to ask Yu Yu what he thought and what did she want to do?

When she came back to the room after dinner, she got on the kang first and squeezed into the corner in front of the kang cabinet to lie down.

It may be that it is hot here or there is a place to lean on, but when I sat here, why did I stretch my legs over again?

While he was talking to everyone in the meeting, she was not honest and kept making trouble.

Pretending not to see the warning just now, he came directly with a mountain of tai to press him down. When Sun Monkey came, he had to call out "Master" before he could let go.

The second master couldn't see this side, and the grandpa was blocking it. He only listened to Li Xuewu's question and replied: "From my personal point of view, it is a pity. There are too many good things."

"From the perspective of our store and your collection, I think we can make appropriate adjustments. Even picking up one more is considered a treasure."

"Gold in troubled times, collected in prosperous times"

The second master shook his head and said: "I still don't believe that our situation has always been like this. There must be a prosperous age in all dynasties."

"I don't know how long it will take for this prosperous age to come, but you will definitely not lose money on this deal."

"Well, that's hard to say."

Li Xuewu smiled, looked at the second master and said: "Maybe in three to five years, thirty to fifty years, I don't know when the heyday of antiques you mentioned will come."

"Of course, if you like it and feel it's a pity, let's be careful and don't mention the price. Just use the radio in the store or exchange it for other items."

“You won’t lose money”

The second master assured Li Xuewu guiltily that this business suggestion was made by him. If he really got into trouble or lost money, he would really feel sorry for Li Xuewu.

Especially those radios or valuable businesses, wouldn't it be money if they were sold directly?

It’s still different from the previous collection in batches, so there is capital.

It could be seen that he cared, Li Xuewu smiled and comforted: "You like it, and I like it too, otherwise I couldn't tell you to accept these, right?"

"Guodong told the finance department that the money should be accounted for separately and still be counted in my name."

Li Xuewu turned around and told Shen Guodong that from the beginning of the antique business, he had to bear the part personally.

Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Antiques collected cannot be eaten as food or sold as goods, and they may even cause trouble.

He was the one who proposed to do these things, so naturally he would bear this part of the operating costs.

Of course, in the future, when the second master really reaches the golden age of collection, these antiques will also be his personal collections, and have nothing to do with other brothers.

Li Xuewu said that he really likes them. This kind of historical charm, which marks the testimony of China's 5,000 years of glorious civilization, must be well preserved.

In the future, he will build a big house and put these things in it to tell future generations how rich the legacy of his ancestors is.

And this house will also become the cultural representative of his company, and even the cultural representative symbol of him personally.

You say you are a rich man, a banker, an aristocrat, a prince here and a princess there, but it is useless to me!

Your family has a big villa, a big ship, and a big plane, but our family has a historical museum.

I can earn money to buy your villa, ship, and airplane, but you can spend money to buy my history museum!

Li Xuewu thought, when Li Shu goes to school or works in the future, she will hear people say that there is this bronze tripod and that white jade plate in history.

She doesn't need to envy others, just tell them directly that these things are in our house!

There are a lot of them, whatever you want, you can see them whenever you want!

It takes a certain quality to look at or appreciate antiques, and nobles often use these things to show off their appearance.

Li Xuewu just wants to make his appearance solid and use these things to suppress the future luck.

Everyone knows the authenticity of gold investment, and instruments can be used to invest in jade, but investing in antiques requires a certain amount of knowledge and ability.

The threshold of this thing is too high, it is not comparable, and it is not asset evaluation.

No matter where Li Xuewu goes in the future, as long as this museum exists, he will have the confidence to do anything.

This is exactly what the second master thought. He has experienced too much in his life and seen too much. Flowers bloom and wither for decades, and you can roughly guess it without bowing to the gods.

Li Xuewu used his influence to lead his brothers to such a big business, which confirmed his guess about the future.

These antiques are not waste, nor are they a burden to Li Xuewu. They will be of great use in the future.

Li Xuewu was grateful to the second master for thinking about him and took the initiative to bring the teapot to help him refill the hot tea.

Yu Shui took the opportunity of his buttocks to pull out his feet, still not satisfied, and kicked him.

Li Xuewu didn't care about this, and said to the second master: "When you have time, when it's convenient in the future, you can identify my things one by one, so that you can have a better idea in your mind."

"I look forward to that day"

The second master smiled, took the teacup and said: "Just for your words, I have to live well and live a few more years."

"You will live a long life!"

Li Xuewu smiled and refilled the tea for grandpa, saying: "You look like a long-lived person, with long eyebrows."

"I have wasted half my life, and I am lucky to be with you. It's all fate."

The second master didn't see through everything, and smiled and sighed, and drank the tea in his hand.

Grandpa raised his head slightly with the teacup in his hand, and understood the sigh of the second master Ye.

People live a lifetime, what they have in their fate has already been determined, and there is no point in fighting for it. Even if it is in your hands now, it may not be yours in the future.

Take these antiques for example, the owners of these things in the past never thought of causing such a disaster.

Things handed down from many dynasties have become a disaster today.

If these things are valuable, they will not feel so bad if someone robs them. If they are smashed and burned in front of them, it is not only the pain of losing things, but also regret and pity.

Ye Erye remembered that Li Xuewu took them in and raised the orphans. He observed that he was orderly and disciplined in his work, and that he led his brothers to make a fortune together without quarreling, living in harmony, and taking care of the family.

Otherwise, why would he talk about good fortune? These antiques all carry luck. People without good fortune cannot afford them, but people with good fortune can increase their luck.

"The wooden ones can be collected as old furniture."

Grandma added to the two of them: "It doesn't matter whether you replace them with new furniture or buy them with money. I will take care of it."

"Don't worry, take your time."

Li Xuewu smiled and agreed. Seeing that Erye had finished speaking, he asked about the business situation of the store.

Xiaoyan spoke much more concisely than Shen Guodong. She first talked about the sales of furniture, which was much better than before.

There was no requirement for receipts, and old furniture could be exchanged for new ones. There was also a door-to-door delivery service, which was very popular.

Many people from Xicheng or Nancheng came here because they liked the furniture here because it did not require furniture receipts.

Although the price is a little higher, they naturally choose with their feet without the restriction of receipts.

Then they talked about the braised food business in the store. In the summer, it was not selling well, and they had to do less to avoid backlog and corruption.

After the weather got cooler, the situation stabilized, and the braised food business became better again.

However, the second-hand electrical appliance business is getting harder and harder to do, maybe it has encountered a bottleneck period. After all, families who can own electrical appliances in this era are very cautious, so how can they be willing to waste things.

Even if it is broken, it will be repaired again and again, and it is not willing to sell it directly for a new one.

The only thing that can be traded in at the recycling station is radios, and the radio manufacturing plant in the first prison has a relatively stable production capacity.

Wen Saner left, and the door-to-door repair business here is gone. Even if it is sent for repair, it can only be transferred to the first prison for repair, and it can't make much money.

Not only is this business difficult to do, but the business of red books and those badges is also getting less and less.

The little guys have passed the impulsive period. Now that the higher-ups have calmed down a little, they no longer have the blind desire to buy.

However, the sales of comic books are getting better and better. I don't know if it is because of the sudden decrease in cultural reading products.

Overall, the business of the store has slowly returned to the previous state. The sales of some categories have increased, but overall it is in a state of decline.

Xiaoyan is a little anxious, but there is nothing she can do. The success of these categories was not planned in advance by Li Xuewu, who took advantage of this favorable wind.

"It's okay. People know they need to take a break when they are tired."

Li Xuewu looked at her and said, "You have fewer people, so you should reduce the number of products you sell. Take this time to tidy up the store and the recycling station."

As he spoke, he looked at everyone and asked, "The Chinese New Year is just over a month away. You have worked hard. Have a good year!"
