After dinner, Zhang Tie didn't go anywhere. He just chatted with his parents and brother at home. While the family was chatting, they were teasing the little guy crawling around on the mat on the floor. The atmosphere was particularly special. Hungry and warm.
Regarding Zhang Yang's kidnapping, Zhang Tie's parents still don't know that Zhang Tie is behind it. They don't even know that Zhang Tie was in more danger than Zhang Yang that day. Zhang Tie didn't want to It made them worried, so they just brushed it off with the Spring and Autumn style of writing.
At this time, Zhang Tie's family had already hired a servant. The servant's name was Mrs. Zhen. She was introduced by Zhang Tie's uncle. She was responsible, diligent, and clean. She received a salary of 56 silver coins per month and received red envelopes during the New Year. , saw Zhang Tie and his family sitting in the living room, Sister-in-law Zhen had already brought the cut fruits.
At the beginning, the person who was most reluctant to hire a servant was Zhang Tie's mother. Especially when she thought of the dozens of silver coins that would be spent every month after hiring a servant, Zhang Tie's mother felt very distressed.
Zhang Tie's mother, who was accustomed to living frugally and being diligent and frugal in running the household in Heiyan City, was not used to this kind of life where she had to pay people to serve her. But as Zhang Tie's sister-in-law's belly got bigger and bigger, Zhang Tie's eldest brother and Dads each have their own jobs and usually don’t have much time at home. Zhang Tie’s mother has to take care of her inconvenient sister-in-law alone and provide food for the family. It’s really too busy for Zhang Tie’s mother to do this. Agree to invite someone.
The half-year-old child is the most annoying. In the past six months, this child has been mainly taken care of by Zhang Tie's sister-in-law and Zhang Tie's mother. It was fine during the day, but at night, when everyone fell asleep, this kid became energetic. Zhang Tie's sister-in-law can only take care of a person who gets up and poops and urinates alone. This person can't sleep well at night for a long time. The energy was down. When Zhang Tie came back this time, he found that his sister-in-law's face was a little haggard.
When a family lives together, it's usually just these trivial things.
In the past two days, before Zhang Tie came back, Zhang Tie's sister-in-law and Zhang Yang were discussing about hiring another nanny. They were afraid that Zhang Tie's mother would not agree, so they were doing Zhang Tie's mother's work in a roundabout way.
Zhang Tie came back today and saw that his mother was happy. Zhang Tie's sister-in-law once again talked about hiring a nanny for Zhang Chengan. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie's mother immediately agreed when she mentioned it this time, and the whole family was very happy.
"You must choose the nanny carefully. You must be careful and patient when raising children. Just a while ago, your father and I found your uncle and the others in Xince City. Your uncle and his family have many children, and your aunt is bedridden all year round. It will be more difficult financially!" Zhang Tie's mother looked at Zhang Yang and said. "You and Zhang Tie have a cousin you have never met. She is a very upright person. She is in her thirties. She has been working as a childcare worker in a street kindergarten. Not to mention the hard work, she only earns a salary of more than forty silver coins a month. . If you want to hire a nanny, why not call your cousin over? The whole family will feel more at ease!"
"Mom, just do what you say!" Zhang Yang said cheerfully, "Find some time. I'll go to Xince City and invite my uncle and his family to sit at home!"
Zhang Tie came home today and just found out that his mother had found his uncle's family in Xince City. Originally, Zhang Tie wanted to ask how his grandparents were doing, but just as he was about to speak, he saw the corner of his mother's eyes. With that touch of sadness, Zhang Tie suddenly stopped talking and knew the answer.
Thirty years after leaving Huaiyuan County, Zhang Tie knew that his grandparents must have passed away without waiting for his mother to come back. If not, there would not be such sadness hidden in his mother's expression.
"Mom, who else is in uncle's family?" Zhang Tie changed his mind and asked.
"Your uncle has four sons and three daughters. Both daughters are married, and the three sons have started their own families. The only ones left with your uncle and aunt are your cousin and your cousin. Your cousin works in the kindergarten. Childcare worker, your cousin is a bit idle and has no formal job. Your aunt is bedridden all year round. Your uncle found a job delivering newspapers and takes care of the house while working! If you and your brother are able, help them more. !”
"Mom, don't worry, I believe your uncle's family will get better. How can my mother's family, my brother and I watch them suffer? After we walk around more and understand the situation first, we It's not too late to find a solution!" Zhang Tie comforted his mother and said, "By the way, what disease does my aunt have?"
"Your aunt used to work in an ice factory. She stayed there for a long time and developed severe rheumatism and arthritis. Now she has difficulty even walking!" Zhang Tie's mother sighed.
Rheumatism and arthritis—Hearing this answer, Zhang Tie smiled. There is nothing he can do about other diseases. Isn't it just a matter of a few full-effect medicines for just such a little disease? This matter is not urgent. After a few days, you can find time to send a batch of full-effect potions to your home. Not only aunts, but also parents, sisters-in-law and brothers at home can use it.
During the communication with his family, Zhang Tie also learned the details of his father and brother in the past six months.
After Zhang Tie's father had been idle at home for a while, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and found a job outside as a materials engineer in an airship manufacturing company. He continued to work in his old profession and this new job The enthusiasm of Zhang Tie's father was rekindled. During the second half of the chat tonight, Zhang Tie's father was talking enthusiastically about making airships. In the words of Zhang Tie's father, this was better than before. That job was much more interesting. Moreover, there are many young people in the company, which makes him full of vitality.
During the chat, Zhang Tie joked with his dad - since dad you like building airships so much, then one day my son will help you buy that company and let you be the boss, so you can do whatever you want
As soon as Zhang Tie said these words, he was almost hit on the head by his father - although the company his father worked for produced small airships, its scale was not small, with more than 700 employees and a total asset value of 30 There are more than 300,000 gold coins, more than 300,000 gold coins. You just buy it. Do you think it’s just playing house
Zhang Tie smiled and stopped talking.
As for Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang, he registered a trading company in the past six months and began to gradually get involved in the food and medicine trade. After half a year of exploration, he slowly established a firm foothold.
The name of the trading company registered by Zhang Yang is Jinwu Trading Company, and Jinwu means sun. In Chinese mythology, this is another mythical beast that lives on the sun. Chinese people in this era like to use allusions or stories from mythology to name organizations or collectives, such as Jinpeng Bank.
Moreover, the characters gold and black in Jinwu imply the word "iron" in Zhang Tie's name, because iron is a kind of metal, and it is a black metal. It is appropriate to express it with the two characters Jinwu, which has a special charm. . When the golden crows joined together to form the sun, they also symbolized the word "Yang" in Zhang Yang's name. This name included both Zhang Tie brothers. It also represents the importance of the two brothers in the trading company.
Zhang Yang thought about the name of Jinwu Trading Company for more than two weeks. Zhang Yang was very proud of the name he chose. He has also put a lot of effort into the trading company in the past six months. The trading company's current main business is The most fundamental reason why the business is focused on food and medicine trade comes from a judgment that Zhang Tie told Zhang Yang before - the third human holy war is coming soon!
Looking at the first two holy wars. What are the most important supplies in jihad? There are only three - food. drug. arms. In every jihad, companies, enterprises or business groups involved in these three industries can achieve great development.
Zhang Yang is targeting the food and pharmaceutical industries, betting that these two industries will only become more and more important in the future. Everything is in short supply.
The weapons and arms industry is naturally more profitable, but with the current strength of the Jinwu Business Group, it is not qualified to get involved in this industry that requires a lot of capital and a strong background to be successful. It just starts with the relatively low threshold of food and Start with medicines.
The marine fishery processing and marine biomedicine industries in Huaiyuan County, located in the coastal area, are very developed. This provides great convenience for Jinwu Trading Co., Ltd. to get involved in these two industries.
The main trading products of Jinwu Trading Co., Ltd. are several canned fish that can be kept fresh for a long time, and the other is a special sea anemone biotoxin. The latter can be used on a large scale. The processing of weapons in war can increase the lethality of weapons - this lethality is equally effective against demons and humans.
Jinwu Trading Co., Ltd. has now opened up some situations and established some customer relationships. Next, according to Zhang Yang’s plan, Jinwu Trading Co., Ltd. will extend to the upstream industrial chain of the food and drug processing industry. When the real jihad comes, it will have the most say and The most popular ones are not simply trading middlemen, but those who control the resources.
Zhang Yang decided to first acquire or prepare to build a cannery, and then set up a small offshore fishing fleet. From fishing, to processing and production, to sales, he completed control of every important link involved in the production of canned fish and meat.
In this kind of face-to-face communication with family members, time always passes quickly. Unknowingly, the family sat together and chatted until past eleven o'clock. It was almost time. Zhang Tie's father would still be there tomorrow. It was time to go to work, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Before going back to his room, Zhang Tie asked his mother, "Mom, is there any liquor at home?"
"Yes, it's in the kitchen. Your dad bought it for making medicinal wine. Why do you ask?"
"I want some!"
"It's almost time to go to bed, and you still want to drink?" Zhang Tie's mother looked at Zhang Tie reproachfully.
"No, I practiced a combat skill in Qianlong Hall. During the practice, I need to wipe my body with strong alcohol to cool down the body! I have to stay at home for a few days this time, so I can't leave my practice behind! "Zhang Tie said nonchalantly. Anyway, he believed that no one would doubt his words. As for why spirits are used instead of alcohol to cool down, only the devil knows. Maybe spirits are more nutritious than alcohol. Just think about it yourself.
Hearing that Zhang Tie was going to stay at home for a few days this time, Zhang Tie's mother suddenly laughed with satisfaction, "The wine is in the wine cabinet next to the kitchen. There is not enough for me to buy for you tomorrow!"
"One or two bottles of wine is enough!" Zhang Tie smiled. After saying good night to his family, he went to the wine cabinet next to the kitchen and took out two bottles of low-end liquor bottles with a 61-degree alcohol mark. I went back to my room...
