The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

134 cups of green tea

Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiuneng brought a large amount of clothes back from Shenzhen City. They spent a lot of money and were exhausted.

As soon as he got home, Shi Xiuneng was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't get up.

Cheng Xiuyun saw him throwing the clothes on the ground, and was so angry that the veins on her forehead were exposed, but she finally endured and picked up the clothes one by one and put them away.

Before packing up, Shi Xingrui rushed in from the outside like a firecracker: "Mom, you and dad are finally back, if you don't come back, I will be bullied miserably..."

Cheng Xiuyun was so tired that her whole body was about to fall apart, especially her back was so sore that she could hardly stand upright. Shi Xingrui bumped into her so straightly, she took two steps back, her back hit the table behind her, her face twisted in pain up.

"What are you doing, kid? You're being reckless, how did I teach you to be gentle and graceful as a girl, look what you look like now!"

Shi Xingrui was pretending to cry before, but her mother didn't hug her to comfort her, but instead scolded her as soon as she came back. She sat down on the ground and burst into tears: "Dad, your daughter is going to be beaten to death, Dad woo woo ..."

Shi Xingrui's voice was very loud, and she cried like a mourner, causing Cheng Xiuyun's head to bulge like a wall.

Shi Xiuneng was woken up, and scolded impatiently: "Call the child as soon as you come back, and get out if you keep making noise!"

Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that she almost vomited blood and died.

Seeing her mother being scolded, Shi Xingrui was so proud, she got up and ran to the bedside to hold her father's hand: "Dad, you said you would bring me a beautiful skirt when you come back, where is the skirt?"

Shi Xiuneng was so sleepy that he could hardly keep his eyes open, he said perfunctorily, "I want it from your mother."

After speaking, he turned over and fell asleep again.

Shi Xingrui was scolded by her mother, so she didn't want to pay attention to her mother for the time being, so she ran over to pick up the clothes by herself, messing up the clothes that Cheng Xiuyun had just arranged.

Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that her chest heaved violently: "I just finished the clothes, stop it!"

Shi Xingrui made a face at her: "I want new clothes, if you don't give them to me, I'll wake my dad up and say you hit me!"

Shi Xiuneng has a very bad temper for getting up. If he is woken up without enough sleep, he will definitely scold others. Cheng Xiuyun really doesn't want to confront him.

It's just that when she heard her daughter threaten herself with such words, she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. Why did she give birth to such a nasty ghost?

Compared with Wen Rugui when she was a child, Shi Xingrui is simply the reincarnation of the devil king of the world, especially with Shi Xiu who can support her, and she doesn't listen to her mother at all.

Cheng Xiuyun had no choice but to find two skirts and give them to her.

Shi Xingrui's eyes brightened, she took the skirt and said with a smile, "Give me the pocket money, I'm out of money."

Cheng Xiuyun frowned: "Didn't I only give you five yuan when I left? How many days will it be gone?"

Shi Xingrui rolled his eyes: "I bought stationery, give it to me quickly!"

Shi Xiuneng scolded something, so Cheng Xiuyun had to take out a dollar and hand it over: "Don't waste money, don't buy candy, your teeth..."

But before he finished speaking, Shi Xingrui took the money and skirt and ran away to show off to his peers in the yard.

With pocket money and a new dress, Shi Xingrui forgot about the itchy scalp all of a sudden. Cheng Xiuyun was tired and angry, and there were still many things to do, so she didn't notice that she was always scratching her scalp when she talked.

Therefore, Shi Xingrui's hair lice incident was ignored.

After that, the two of them only took a day off before they started selling clothes. They took a large oilcloth and spread it on the street next to the market, and then put the clothes on it.

As the country's first special economic zone, coupled with the advantages of its geographical location, Shenzhen City's economy is developing very rapidly. The clothes brought back by the couple from Shenzhen City are of novel styles, and no one in Beijing has even seen them.

Therefore, as soon as the clothes are put out, people will soon gather around to ask the price.

"This jacket is eight yuan a piece, and the skirt is fifteen yuan a piece."

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Sister, look at my clothes. The colors are so bright and the style is unique. There is no other store in Beijing to sell them, and I don't need cloth tickets."

The woman who asked the price was even more moved when she heard that there was no need for cloth tickets. More importantly, the clothes were really beautiful, unlike the clothes in department stores, which were either black or gray. People are booked out.

Just when she was hesitating, a modernly dressed woman came over and picked up two skirts: "How do you sell these two skirts?"

Cheng Xiuyun immediately smiled and said, "The red ones are fifteen yuan, and the blue ones are eighteen yuan."

The woman took the two skirts and gestured twice on her body, looking very satisfied.

Cheng Xiuyun boasted: "This lesbian has such a good figure. Wearing these two skirts is like a fairy coming down to earth. People can't move their eyes."

Everyone likes to hear good words.

The woman was so overjoyed by the compliment, she handed over the two skirts and said, "I want these two, when will you put them on, and I will introduce my sisters and colleagues to buy them later."

Cheng Xiuyun's smile deepened: "We will be here until dark, but this time we don't have much stock. If you want it, you have to hurry up. It will be sold out in two days."

The first woman didn't hesitate anymore when she heard this, and hurriedly bought two clothes.

Four pieces of clothes were sold at once, and when the two women left, the couple couldn't close their mouths with joy.

Shi Xiuneng counted the money and glanced at her: "Okay, you, I didn't expect you to be a business material."

Cheng Xiuyun took a sip of water: "It's not all forced by life."

In the past, she would definitely not be able to sell clothes on the street, let alone smile and praise others, but this time she went to Shenzhen City, which gave her a big shock.

She saw that her girlfriends were making a lot of money every day in business, and the whole Shenzhen City was full of vitality. Both men and women were very hardworking. She had carefully observed other people's business, and even imitated them in her heart.

If others can do it, she, Cheng Xiuyun, can definitely do it too.

Shi Xiuneng still wanted to praise her, but soon someone came over to buy clothes again.

As Cheng Xiuyun said, the clothes were sold out in less than two or three days, because they didn't dare to wholesale too many clothes for the first time, so they had to go to Shenzhen City to wholesale again after they sold out.

They planned to wholesale more clothes this time, so Shi Xingrui could only ask Aunt Lin again.

Aunt Lin originally wanted to refuse, but Cheng Xiuyun gave her ten yuan more than last time as the cost of taking care of Shi Xingrui. She looked at the ten yuan and couldn't say anything about the rejection.

**

Cheng Xiuyun's business here is booming, and Tong Xuelu's business is also booming.

After choosing an auspicious day, her "Lo Mei Zhai" opened.

Before the opening, she went back to school and mentioned it to her former classmates, because she was very popular, and everyone had heard about her previous work as a restaurant manager, and those who had never tried it wanted to try it.

So on the opening day, many people came to join in the show.

In order to make a big hit, Tong Xuelu also offered a three-day opening discount, as long as the purchase is over five yuan, there will be a 10% discount.

These days, no matter whether you go to a department store to buy something or go to a state-run restaurant to eat, there are only cases where you can’t buy it. I have never heard of such a thing as a discount.

Everyone thought it was very novel, and they heard that there was a discount, and it seemed that it would be a disadvantage not to buy it, so everyone came over to buy a few, and one person couldn't eat that much, so a few classmates bought it together.

In addition to selling spicy soup, "Lumei Zhai" also sells various kinds of braised chicken feet, braised chicken wings, and braised duck necks. There are many snacks that everyone has never eaten.

The taste is delicious, spicy, delicious and chewy, and it is allowed to buy only a little of each item, so that everyone can try everything as much as possible.

Needless to say, Tong Xuelu's culinary skills have brought Dongfeng Restaurant back to life in less than half a month, and her culinary skills have long been recognized by everyone.

After the students came to try it, they were full of praise, so word of mouth quickly spread.

The nearby people know that this place has opened, and they will come to buy some and go back to make meals.

All in all, business is booming.

The restaurant hadn't opened yet. Three days ago, Tong Xuelu came to help in person, and brought along Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping along the way.

Guo Chunyu has a quick brain, and she can learn many things in no time. Moreover, she has a warm and cheerful personality, which makes her very suitable for being a salesperson.

Guo Weiping has a relatively introverted personality and is not considered a smart person, but he has a good temper, can endure hardships and stands hard work, and is willing to obey arrangements. Tong Xuelu is also very satisfied with him.

After closing the door on the first day, once the door of the store was closed, the turnover was calculated, and there were more than 400.

Guo Chunyu was so shocked that her mouth opened wide: "Oh my god, everyone bought it for a few yuan. I didn't expect the turnover to be so much."

You must know that the turnover of Dongfeng Hotel in a normal day is not that much.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "You have to be mentally prepared, after the first three days, there won't be so many later."

Guo Chunyu thought for a while to express his understanding.

In the first three days, many people were curious, and many people came to patronize Tong Xuelu's face, and there were discounts, so there were many people who bought it.

There will be no discounts in the future, and fewer people will buy them. In addition, everyone is not very rich these days, so they must not go out to eat and drink every day.

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: "But this is only temporary. Now that the country is focused on economic development, people's living standards will get better and better, and more and more people will be able to afford things."

Guo Chunyu nodded: "What Manager Tong said is that in fact, everyone's life has been different in the past two years."

In the past, who would dare to sell things so openly, but now you can see people selling things on the street from time to time.

Tong Xuelu encouraged them and said: "You guys do a good job, and when the store is up and running, I will open a second and third store, and then you can be promoted to managers to help people lead people."

Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping were stunned.

Guo Chunyu's face immediately burst into glory: "Thank you Manager Tong, we will definitely do a good job!"

Guo Weiping showed an unconfident expression: "Be a manager? I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Before he could finish speaking, his sister slapped him hard and hinted him to shut up with her eyes.

Such a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, which no one else could look forward to, yet he took the initiative to push it out. I have never seen such a fool.

If Tong Xuelu said this before the opening, she would definitely not believe it, but judging by the turnover in the past few days, she couldn't help but not believe it.

The decoration of the restaurant has not been fully completed, and the "Business License for Individual Industrial and Commercial Households" has not yet been issued, and it will take a month for Deng Hong to resign as a handover, so the opening time can only be delayed.

The other five people recruited, because the restaurant was not open yet, Tong Xuelu asked them to come to the store in turn to help and learn, and obey Guo Chunyu's management.

In addition, she also asked Deng Hong to help find one or two chefs. After all, after the restaurant opened, it was not enough for her to be the only chef.

The business of "Lo Mei Zhai" was as Tong Xuelu expected. After the first three days, it was not so prosperous after that, but the business was not bad.

Although Qian Caixin did not go shopping at Lo-Mei Zhai, she always followed Tong Xuelu's every move.

Seeing that Tong Xuelu actually made Lo Mei Zhai, she felt very uncomfortable: "Some people just can't support the wall with mud, and they don't go to a good unit, but they want to do business, and they will definitely regret it in the future!"

When the people in the dormitory heard what she said, they glanced at each other without answering.

Since Qian Caixin was cancelled, she hated Tong Xuelu more and more in her heart, but because her family had warned her, she dared not target Tong Xuelu again.

Before the Lo Mei Zhai opened, she was cursing the closure of the Lo Mei Zhai every day in her heart, and let the whole school see Tong Xuelu's jokes, but she didn't expect the business of the Lo Mei Zhai to be so good, it seemed like a slap in the face of her.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

Tong Xuelu didn't know about Qian Caixin's sullen life, so she wrote a letter to Xie Guangkun in the United States, asking him if he could buy an induction cooker for her.

The world's first induction cooker was manufactured in Germany in 1957. In 1972, the United States began to produce induction cookers. Now in the early 1980s, induction cookers are very popular in Europe, America and Japan.

But Huaxia doesn't have an induction cooker yet.

Looking back, she wanted to make hot pot. It is most convenient and safe to use an induction cooker to make hot pot. Others use coal or alcohol are not safe, especially coal is extremely easy to poison.

After writing the letter, she handed the letter to the staff of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office.

Nowadays, communication has not been released at home and abroad, and letters going abroad have to go through layers of checkpoints before they can be sent.

It may not be easy to send an induction cooker back, Tong Xuelu wrote in the letter, if there is no other way, let him try his best to ask for an instruction manual for himself.

She wanted Wen Rugui to see if he had any friends who could manufacture it. By then, he would become the first manufacturer of induction cooker in China, which would be another way of making money.

Before Xie Guangkun could reply, it was Jiang Baihui's wedding day.

Tong Xuelu went to make up for her as agreed, because Jiang Baihui didn't have any cosmetics, so she gave her a set at her own expense.

Jiang Baihui received the cosmetics and was so happy that she hugged her: "Xuelu, I'm so happy, thank you, I like this gift very much!"

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "It's fine if you like it. Sit down quickly. When the groom comes to pick you up, I have to quickly put on makeup for you."

Jiang Baihui sat down quickly after hearing the words: "By the way, you can teach me how to put on makeup later. I heard that foreign women have to put on makeup when they go to work."

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Yes, makeup is actually not difficult, as long as you practice a few times, it will be fine."

Jiang Baihui has a good background, and her facial features are majestic. Tong Xuelu matched her face shape to give her a dignified atmosphere with a little bit of charming makeup.

After the transformation, Jiang Baihui looked at herself in the mirror and almost couldn't recognize herself: "My God, do I look so beautiful?!"

Jiang Baihui's cousins ​​saw with their own eyes Tong Xue's magical make-up technique, and they couldn't help praising her.

"Comrade Tong's makeup is so amazing, I can't even read it."

"Me too, but Bai Hui's make-up is really beautiful. When her brother-in-law comes over later, she will be so fascinated that she can't take her eyes off."

Everyone in the room laughed, and Jiang Baihui blushed and gave her cousin a look.

Soon Jiang Baihui's mother came over, and she praised Jiang Baihui again and again when she saw how beautiful Jiang Baihui had become.

Because she needed help outside, Jiang Baihui's mother called a group of girls out to help, leaving only Jiang Baihui and Tong Xuelu in the room.

Jiang Baihui took Tong Xuelu's hand and said, "It would be great if we could go abroad together, but you should run to do business."

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and my situation is not suitable for going abroad."

Jiang Baihui knew her situation, so she didn't continue talking, and changed the subject: "My cousin, the one standing next to you just now, what do you think of her?"

Tong Xuelu thought for a while: "Is it the one with the round face?"

Jiang Baihui nodded: "That's right, it's her. My cousin is nineteen years old and graduated from high school. She also took the college entrance examination before, but unfortunately she didn't pass."

Tong Xuelu: "Then you can continue the exam."

Jiang Baihui shook her head: "She's not even thinking about her studies, her goal is to marry a good man, be a husband and a child."

Tong Xuelu: "..."

Jiang Baihui suddenly lowered her voice and said: "My cousin has a very gentle personality. There are three older brothers in the family. She is the youngest and is very favored at home. My uncle and aunt have already spoken, saying that when she gets married, they will definitely prepare a generous dowry for her. .”

Tong Xuelu thought she was just chatting, and said, "It's still the same sentence, everyone has his own aspirations, as long as it doesn't break the law, she can choose the way she wants to live in life."

Jiang Baihui nodded again: "I know, but I mentioned her to you to ask you, do you think my cousin is suitable for her brother Zhuzhu?"

Tong Xuelu was a little speechless. It turned out that she said so much because she wanted her to be a matchmaker.

She refused without thinking: "You should know my character, I don't like to get mixed up with these."

Jiang Baihui paused, shook her hand and said, "But I'm not someone else. What kind of friendship do we have? I think my cousin and Wei Ran are quite suitable, so you can help me be a middleman."

"What's more, didn't you help the base and the school's female college students do fellowship?"

Tong Xuelu: "The friendship between the base and the school, I just helped spread the word. The school is responsible for the gatekeeping and organization, and I did not participate."

"That's right, I just want you to help spread the word this time. Just mention my cousin to Grandma Shen and arrange for them to meet and have a blind date later. I don't need to bother you about other things."

"Please, Xuelu, just help me." Jiang Baihui looked at her expectantly, "Today is my wedding day, you can't refuse me!"

Tong Xuelu felt a slight sense of discomfort in her heart, but she didn't show it: "I'll ask Grandma Shen later."

In fact, there is no need to ask at all, the family background of the Wei family is more than one level higher than that of the Jiang family, and the family is not right.

In addition, the parents of Wei Ran and Wei Zhuzhu's two brothers and sisters died, Shen Wanrong wanted to find Wei Ran a daughter-in-law who could only be a big family.

Jiang Baihui's cousin is very childish, and she looks timid in doing things, which does not meet Shen Wanrong's standards for choosing a daughter-in-law at all.

But now Jiang Baihui set her up and forced her to agree, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Baihui laughed: "That's really great, Grandma Shen likes you so much, as long as you are the introducer, she will definitely fall in love with my cousin."

Tong Xuelu glanced at her, noncommittal.

Soon the groom came over to pick him up, and the house became lively again.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, Liang Tianyi was stunned when he saw Jiang Baihui with makeup on.

Seeing his stupid look, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Baihui raised her head and said to him, "Hold me."

Her appearance and expression when she said this cannot be said to be very similar to Tong Xuelu's wedding day, only exactly the same.

Xie Xiaoyan, Tian Fengzhi and the others were taken aback when they saw this, but because everyone was coaxing Liang Tianyi to hug him, they quickly put this strange feeling behind them.

Liang Tianyi's face was flushed with nervousness, and he walked over and bent over to hug Jiang Baihui. Who knows whether he was too excited, or whether Jiang Baihui's height and weight exceeded his load.

He hugged Jiang Baihui twice but failed to pick him up.

Seeing this, everyone laughed even harder.

"Officer groom, are you okay?"

"I only did ten push-ups just now, and now I can't even lift up the bride. I don't think it's good."

Liang Tianyi blushed like Guan Gong from the laughter, and the shyness on Jiang Baihui's face disappeared without a trace.

In the end, the two went out holding hands.

One week after the two got married, Liang Tianyi went abroad to study.

Tong Xuelu turned around and told Shen Wanrong about Jiang Baihui's cousin, but she was rejected as expected.

Jiang Baihui was very unhappy for a while when she found out.

On this day, Tong Xuelu went to the base to visit Wen Rugui, and met Wang Xiaoyun who was also going to the base on the way.

The two chatted after knowing each other's identities.

When they came to the gate of the base, Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan ran out, holding a bunch of flowers in their hands.

Seeing their respective daughter-in-laws, the two of them sent flowers together.

Wen Rugui looked tenderly: "I planted this flower myself."

Tong Xuelu hugged the flower, smiling like a flower: "It's a very fragrant flower, I like it very much."

Seeing this, Zhou Yan scratched his head and hurriedly said, "Xiaoyun, I also planted this flower myself."

Wang Xiaoyun didn't doubt that he was there, she leaned up to smell it, and her face turned green the next moment: "Why is there a smell of urine?"

Tong Xuelu: "...?"

Wen Rugui: "..."

Zhou Yan: "!"

Seeing Tong Xuelu's confused face, Wen Rugui leaned over and whispered in her ear, "His flowers were picked by the dean secretly. It should be the dean's little grandson who secretly peed in the flowers again."

Tong Xuelu: "..."

Wang Xiaoyun immediately realized that she had been fooled, there was no way he planted this flower himself!

She was so angry that she threw flowers on Zhou Yan, but before she could curse, she retched and vomited.

Zhou Yan was in a hurry, and asked repeatedly while holding her arm: "How are you, Xiaoyun?"

Wang Xiaoyun was so retched that she couldn't speak.

Zhou Yan's face turned pale with fright.

Tong Xuelu was about to say that they were going to call the doctor for help, but before she could speak, a feeling of nausea rose in her chest.

She "vomited" and then retched.
