Fenghe Homestead is not only residential, outside it, there are also a row of storefronts, about twenty.
The storefront outside was built much faster than the house inside, and it was all finished by now, and the exterior walls were covered with bricks.
Before, Liang Fang wanted to sell the store, but was persuaded by Zhuo Shao.
In the real estate business, it is necessary to sell the house as soon as possible to get back the funds. Although it may make more money, it is a company that wants to develop and grow by selling the house early and then moving on to the next project. The way to go.
However, although the house is going to be sold, it is definitely a correct choice to keep the storefront.
First, there are not many stores, and secondly, at this moment, the store can't really sell the price.
After waiting for a few years, the one-year rent is estimated to have caught up with the current selling price of the store.
Of course, after online shopping becomes popular, store rents will no longer skyrocket... But that's still more than a decade away.
"You want to open a decoration company? No need to rent, I'll give you a storefront." Liang Fang said. Seeing that Fenghe Home is about to be completed, and he will make a lot of money, Liang Fang is in a good mood, so he becomes generous.
Speaking of which, his ability to become a big boss is not unrelated to his generosity with others.
A person who is stingy and stingy with others cannot be a big boss no matter what.
"No, Uncle Liang, I'll just rent a house... I'll buy it from you in two years when I'm rich." Zhuo Shao immediately refused. If Liang Fang wasn't Liang Chen's father, he might not have refused. , but there is such a relationship...
Zhuo Shao refused, and Liang Tuan did not force it.
He first took Zhuo Shao to see the house, and when he was optimistic about the house, he took Zhuo Shao to see the store.
Zhuo Shao asked for three storefronts at a time, saying that he would come to renovate and open the store after the new year.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liang Fang was a little surprised, his house hasn't been decorated yet!
"Renovate and go through the formalities early, so that when Uncle Liang is handed over your house, people in the community can come to me for decoration." Zhuo Shao smiled.
He was indeed a little anxious, after all, he told a lie in Fuyang County...
After seeing the house, Liang Fang and Zhuo Shao went to the sales office of Fenghe Jiayuan.
As the New Year is approaching, the construction site has already stopped, but the sales office is still very lively. Many people will come to see the New Year holiday.
When Zhuo Shao and Liang Fang came over, they saw someone looking at the house, and after seeing it, they even gave a deposit to buy it.
There are a lot of houses in Fenghe Homeland. When all of them are sold out, Liang Fang will definitely not be short of funds, and Liang Fang's company will not encounter any problems again.
Zhuo Shao went back in the afternoon.
Although he wanted to stay in the provincial capital, Shen Xinghuo still had a lot of things to do.
Fuyang County is located in the south, and the New Year in the south is different from the north.
In many places in the north, people are used to hoarding a lot of things. They don’t go shopping during the Chinese New Year. The local shops are also closed during the Chinese New Year. However, in the south, there are many shops that have the best business during the Chinese New Year, and they are reluctant. Not open, so the streets may be full of people on New Year's Day.
And restaurants, during the Chinese New Year, are the best time for business, especially in Fuyang County.
More than ten years ago or even a few years ago, when I invited relatives to dinner during the Chinese New Year, they all cooked at home. From the first day of the new year to the tenth day of the new year, families with many relatives, sometimes at noon and at night, every day When I have free time, I either treat guests at my own house or go to other people's houses for dinner. Sometimes two families invite guests to the same meal on the same day, and the family has to eat separately.
This is the happiest time for children, because there are good things to eat every day, but for adults, it is very tiring.
Zhuo Shao remembered his mother and didn't like Chinese New Year, because in the days when she was entertaining guests, she spent almost every morning or afternoon preparing dishes, and she often couldn't eat the dishes herself.
Even his father helped wash and pick vegetables, and his last hands would be frozen red.
It is because of this that some wealthy people have begun to choose to treat guests in restaurants in the past two years.
Not only does it not have to be tired, but it is also very face-saving.
Shen Xinghuo hoped that the hotel could be renovated a few years ago, just hoping to make more money with this.
His current restaurant is too small, and many people have to reject it when they come to book a banquet and treat guests, which is really a pity.
Now that he has a new hotel, he can pick up more business! It's a pity that the box upstairs has not been renovated...
After Zhuo Shao returned to Fuyang County, he first helped Shen Xinghuo decorate the lobby of the hotel, and then helped Shen Xinghuo install various new equipment in the kitchen.
"If you rush, you will be able to open the business on the first day of the new year, but the time is too rush, I'm afraid there will be some mistakes..." Shen Xinghuo was a little confused.
Many people want to come to his new restaurant, and he also wants to open it as soon as possible, but for such a big event as it should be, you always have to prepare well, and you have to ask a blind man for an auspicious day.
"Mr. Shen, why don't you start the trial operation first." Zhuo Shao suggested: "During the trial operation period, there will be a 20% discount for the whole venue, and then after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, find a time to set off firecrackers to officially open."
The trial operation that Zhuo Shao mentioned was something that many businesses would do before his rebirth, but at this time, people in Fuyang County had never heard of it.
Shen Xinghuo didn't understand.
However, after Zhuo Shao explained it to him, he thought it was a good idea.
He plans to close the restaurant that is currently open on the 30th day of the new year, so that the waiters and chefs are familiar with their new restaurant, and then on the first day of the new year, the new restaurant will start trial operation.
As for the issue of the waiter and chef's holiday for the New Year... As long as he pays enough money, those people are willing to work overtime.
Shen Xinghuo did what he said. On the same day, he found some red banners and hung them at the entrance of his hotel, saying that the trial operation would start on the first day of the first lunar month.
New Three Five Hotel is about to open!
The news spread quickly in Fuyang County, and more and more people came to Shen Xinghuo's side to order a banquet, but at this time, Zhuo Shao had completely put aside the affairs here and went home.
At this time, it was twenty-nine years old.
Liang Fang, with his two children, also went home that day.
Everyone was very tired that night, so they just ate a little, but the next day, they were busy.
On New Year's Eve, according to the customs of Fuyang County, it is necessary to worship ancestors and worship New Year's Bodhisattva.
In the countryside here, worshiping ancestors requires worshiping in several directions several times. The whole process is very complicated. It is simple here in the county. People, just don't do this.
Zhuo Shao didn't intend to toss this, there was no way, neither he nor Liang Fang had done it, and they didn't understand at all, let alone Zhuo Ting and Liang Chen.
But they still have a lot to do, at least to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Even though the vegetable market is still open during the Chinese New Year in Fuyang County, in the afternoon, the vendors have basically gone home, so the food must be bought in the morning, and the price of this morning's vegetable...
If nothing else, the price of chicken and fish used in ancestor worship is at least twice the usual price.
Not only that, the vegetable market on this day was also occupied by countless live chickens.
Many people in the countryside around Fuyang County raise chickens. They don’t usually sell them, but year after year, they bring their chickens to the vegetable market and sell them at a good price, making a small profit.
"Come and see all the chickens raised at home!"
"Big cock, big cock!"
"Luhua chicken, come and see, Luhua chicken."
…
People carry chickens that are still flapping their wings and greet people who come to buy vegetables warmly, and there are indeed a lot of people buying chickens.
No way, although the winter here is cold, things can't be kept for a long time, and many people think that chickens used to worship ancestors and gods must be killed immediately.
Zhuo Shao also bought a chicken, a big rooster with a particularly beautiful coat. In addition, he also bought fish, a pig's trotter with a hoof, some shrimp, and various vegetables.
Frosted cabbage is the most delicious, radish and cabbage are also delicious at this time, of course, you should also buy some fruits...
The local farmers have sugarcane. They wrap the sugarcane with straw and bury it in the mud, so that it can be preserved until the Chinese New Year. Wait and wait to choose.
Zhuo Shao also bought some fireworks.
He is not interested in this, but the two children like it very much. Of course, since large-scale fireworks cannot be enlarged in the community, he bought small things like the piercing monkey, purely for the two children to play with.
At this time, things were much more expensive than usual, but Zhuo Shao still bought everything he wanted without hesitation.
Since I don't plan to worship ancestors and gods, I can do these things as I want... As soon as Zhuo Shao got home, he rolled up his sleeves and started to work.
He first washed the water chestnuts, dug the root of each water chestnut with a knife, and cut off a part of the other side, then put it in a pot and cooked it, and used it as a snack for the two children.
When Zhuo's mother was alive, she would grow some water chestnuts on the edge of her rice field every year, and Zhuo Ting had to eat a lot of them every year. She was no stranger to this, but Liang Chen was surprised: "This can still be cooked. come to eat?"
Fruits are used to worship ancestors, and the fruits at this time are very expensive. When his grandmother was alive, he would buy some water chestnuts as fruit to worship ancestors, but they were eaten raw.
And later... This thing generally tasted troublesome, and he had to peel it, but he had never bought it himself.
"It's delicious only when you cook it!" Zhuo Ting said, picked up one and began to bite off the remaining skin with her teeth, took two bites, and said, "Brother, you didn't put sugar when you cooked it!"
"Even without the sugar, it's still sweet enough." Zhuo Shao said, but his heart was a little swollen.
His mother likes to eat sweet, and when cooking water chestnuts, she always puts sugar...
The old water chestnuts don't taste good raw, they will chew out slag, but they taste very good and sweet when they are cooked. Liang Chen liked it immediately.
He didn't bite off the skin directly with his teeth like Zhuo Ting did. Instead, he took a fruit knife and peeled off the skin. After cutting it, he put one in a bowl, and then he ate one by himself. After a while, he saved a small bowl.
He happily held this small bowl to Zhuo Shao.
Zhuo Shao had the urge to kiss him.
Zhuo Shao cooked very well for dinner, and Liang Fang also cooked a few dishes. Everyone ate them with a round belly. After eating, they sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
In the first New Year after the rebirth, Zhuo Shao was very satisfied. Liang Chen kept going to see Zhuo Shao, and he felt that this was the happiest year in his life.
When his grandmother was alive, his life cannot be said to be too bad, but his grandmother didn't like to pay attention to him. When his father came back during the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere at home would become very weird...
Other children are very happy to have something good to eat during the Chinese New Year. They take the bones that the adults in the family removed when they removed the pig's head and gnaw the meat on it, and then play with it, but he didn't dare to ask his grandma for it.
It's a pity that Zhuo Shao didn't burn the pig's head this time...
Liang Chen glanced at Zhuo Shao again.
Zhuo Ting also went to see Zhuo Shao.
Last New Year, she and her brother spent time at their aunt's house. At the New Year's Eve dinner, the aunt gave them a random order and asked them to go back to their room to eat...
Everyone else's family eats together, what about her and her brother
She remembered that she cried and her brother's eyes were red.
Fortunately, her brother has become powerful, otherwise, they might only be able to eat chicken feet, chicken necks and chicken heads today.
Zhuo Ting is very happy, but at this moment, Zhuo Rongming's family is not doing well.
Their house hasn't been sold yet.
But the fact that their family owed debts, and even sold the house to pay off the debt, was rumored. Because of this, when they wanted to borrow money for the New Year, no one else was willing to lend it to them.
In the end, it was Zhuo Rongyu who gave Zhuo Rongming two hundred yuan to buy something for the New Year.
Two hundred yuan is not too little. The Zhuo family bought chicken, meat, and fish. They were planning to make something delicious when Li Zhehe came...
After their family started to sell their houses very actively, Li Zhezi didn't come. In the past two days, it was about the New Year's Eve, and Li Zhezi didn't come.
They relaxed because of this, and then Li Shihe came, not only came, but also took away all the chickens and fish they bought...
For those two hundred dollars, after they bought the things, there was nothing left. Now, the things have been taken away by Li Zhehe... How are they going to spend this year
Fortunately, Li Zhehe didn't take away the rice and vegetables they just bought today...
Qu Guixiang copied two vegetables and cooked a pot of rice. The last family did not even eat meat on New Year's Eve.
They must sell the house ASAP!
Zhuo Shao was too tired a year ago, and he didn't pay much attention to such things as night watch in Fuyang County. In the end, it was just after nine o'clock, and he said he was going to bed.
As soon as he said the words, Liang Chen looked at him.
Zhuo Shao could guess what Liang Chen was thinking, he definitely wanted to sleep with him, but he still didn't open the invitation and silently refused.
He was really afraid that he would make a mistake...
Liang Chen was a little disappointed that he couldn't sleep with Zhuo Shao, but he was happy again when he thought that he had already slept with Zhuo Shao.
I have been living with Liang Fang for the past few days. Liang Chen is familiar with Liang Fang a lot. Although it is still a bit awkward to sleep together, he is already used to it.
As for Liang Fang, he is very willing to get close to his son.
When he didn't raise Liang Chen before, he didn't have any feelings for Liang Chen, but recently he has been worrying about this child all day, and after worrying a lot, he valued this child more and more.
On New Year's Eve, everyone had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up the next morning, after Zhuo Shao made breakfast to feed the family, he greeted Zhuo Ting to go out.
Zhuo Shao intends to pay New Year's greetings to Zhuo Rongyu.
Although Zhuo Rongyu didn't take care of them too much, Zhuo Rongyu helped him and Zhuo Ting to leave Zhuo Rongming's house. He was very grateful to Zhuo Rongyu.
Zhuo Shao had already bought the New Year's greetings for Zhuo Rongyu.
He bought a bottle of wine and a cigarette for the uncle, and then bought two boxes of health care products and a coat for Zhuo Rongyu.
"I'll send you over there." Liang Fang immediately said that Zhuo Shao was going to pay New Year's greetings.
"Then thank Uncle Liang." Zhuo Shao thanked with a smile.
Liang Fang sold the car before, but recently bought it back.
Business is about pomp and circumstance. He can have no house, but he must have a car... As for Zhuo Shao, he doesn't even have a bicycle now.
Even if there was, he, who had not ridden a bicycle for a long time, would not dare to take Zhuo Ting to such a far place easily.
Liang placed Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Ting not far from Zhuo Rongyu's house.
He doesn't mind sending Zhuo Shao to Zhuo Rongyu's door and using this car to give Zhuo Shao a long face, but the road is too small for the car to drive in...
When Zhuo Shao and Zhuo Ting brought things to Zhuo Rongyu's house, Zhuo Rongyu's daughter-in-law was playing with her children at the door.
Zhuo Shao was not familiar with this cousin, so he said hello and went in to find Zhuo Rongyu.
"Come here, what do you want to buy?" Zhuo Rongyu frowned immediately when he saw what Zhuo Shao was carrying: "Even if you have rent now and earn some money from part-time jobs, you can't spend it indiscriminately. Money, you have to think about the future!"
"Auntie, I'm not short of money now." Zhuo Shao said.
"Then you can't spend it indiscriminately!" Zhuo Rongyu was even more unhappy: "And since you're not short of money, why don't you go to study? Studying hard can also be promising!"
Zhuo Shao did not dare to talk nonsense.
However, Zhuo Rongyu did not let him go, and kept talking, wanting Zhuo Shao to continue to study.
Zhuo Shao is very smart. She firmly believes that she can go to university by studying hard. In her opinion, going to university is definitely better than dropping out of school to decorate houses for others.
Being a carpenter is not a good job. The carpenter in their village, when decorating a house before, accidentally cut off one of his fingers - in Zhuo Rongyu's eyes, decorating Just do carpentry.
"Auntie, there is a big boss who appreciates me. I will do my best, and I will definitely be successful in the future." Zhuo Shao can only guarantee this.
Zhuo Rongyu sighed: "You have made up your own mind, and I can't do anything about it... But as long as you are willing to work, it won't be too bad... Don't be like your brother who doesn't go to work all day."
Zhuo Rongyu said that Zhuo Shao's brother was Zhuo Jiabao.
Zhuo Rongyu's own son has only graduated from junior high school. Zhuo Jiabao's poor grades are nothing to her, but Zhuo Jiabao is so old that she doesn't work well, but she despises her.
"Everyone in this family is not good." Zhuo Rongyu added angrily when she thought about the matter that Zhuo Rongming came to borrow money yesterday.
New Year's Eve came to borrow money, what is this? Her face will be disgraced by this younger brother!
Zhuo Rongyu was angry when her daughter-in-law's voice came from outside: "Mom! Uncle is here!"
Zhuo Rongming is here to borrow money.
Zhuo Rongming was so depressed that he didn't even eat meat on New Year's Eve, so he came to borrow money again early this morning.
He came to borrow money, but he didn't expect to see Zhuo Shao in Zhuo Rongyu's place...
If he saw Zhuo Shao in other places, Zhuo Rongming would definitely take a detour, but today's situation is different, with Zhuo Rongyu around, he is more courageous.
"Stinky boy!" As soon as Zhuo Rongming saw Zhuo Shao, he couldn't help scolding: "Why are you so vicious at heart? You actually let others hurt me!"
That Li Philosopher must be found by Zhuo Shao!
"Don't I owe you 20,000 yuan? It's not that I won't pay it back. Your kid actually found someone to ask for the debt..." Zhuo Rongming was angry, and complained to Zhuo Rongyu again: "Eldest sister, this boy She has a very vicious heart, don't be deceived by her!"
Zhuo Rongming said this yesterday. Zhuo Rongyu didn't say anything at that time, but now, Zhuo Rongyu exploded: "Zhuo Rongming, what nonsense are you talking about! If you don't pay your debts, Are you okay?"
She didn't say anything yesterday because she didn't want to quarrel with Zhuo Rongming during the Chinese New Year, but today Zhuo Rongming came over empty-handed in the early morning, afraid that she would come to borrow money again, but she was not happy.
Her younger brother has two houses in the county, and his family is much richer than hers. As a result, both father and son did not work hard to make money, but came to borrow money from her...
Why did she borrow him? He came to borrow money before, but he never paid it back!
Zhuo Shao only wanted money because she wanted to buy a small house in the city. She helped Zhuo Shao keep the money, which she had already given to Zhuo Shao a few days ago. Why didn't Zhuo Rongming pay back the money?
His new house should belong to Zhuo Shao, but now he is even reluctant to sell an old house and give Zhuo Shao's money back...
Zhuo Rongyu finds Zhuo Rongming particularly unpleasant.
Zhuo Shao was in a hurry to ask for money, so he could only sell the IOU for 18,000 yuan to others, which was a total loss of 2,000 yuan! Zhuo Rongyu felt distressed when he thought about it, and the reason for this was because Zhuo Rongming didn't pay back the money.
Zhuo Shao had already greeted Zhuo Rongyu in advance, saying that he sold the IOU to Li Zhehe because he wanted to buy a house in the provincial capital. Although Zhuo Rongyu was dissatisfied, he recognized it and felt that buying a house was very important. Well, now I'm just angry with Zhuo Rongming.
