Chapter 16 Painting cakes to satisfy hunger Yang Qingsi

How should we answer Zhen Xin’s question?

Yang Xingyu felt that at this time, he should describe his career blueprint to her and let her understand that selling roast duck in the countryside was only the first step of his career. In fact, he had a higher pursuit.

To put it simply, it is to paint a pie for her.

This is also no way.

It was also a common method used by his employees when he started his business.

In other words, when starting a business, it is difficult to ensure that your employees do not resign or change jobs.

After all, during the entrepreneurial period, he had limited funds and the positions he could provide were not decent, but capable employees were eager for promotions and salary increases.

If these capable employees resign, it will definitely be a loss for him.

Therefore, when there is no way to promote or raise these employees, doing ideological work for them has become the most beneficial and cost-effective way to retain them.

Therefore, he is skilled in making cakes to satisfy his hunger.

At this time, he needed to draw a pie for Zhen Xin.

After all, his current realistic conditions are indeed not worthy of her.

Yang Xingyu: "This is the case for the time being, but it shouldn't last long. If everything goes well, I will be able to open a store in the county in a few months. My current plan is to open 10 branches in the county within three years."

The implication is probably: If I sell roast duck in the countryside, I am not worthy of you, and if I open a roast duck restaurant in the county, I am not worthy of you. But if I can open 10 branches in the county within three years, can I be worthy of you? ?

Some words cannot be said directly.

If these implicit meanings are spoken directly, it will turn a good relationship into a business negotiation.

That kind of emotion was not what he wanted, and it probably wasn't what Zhen Xin wanted either.

After this message was sent, Yang Xingyu was waiting for Zhen Xin's attitude.

He has already drawn the cake, and whether she believes it or not is out of his control.

This was also one of the reasons why he didn't want to pursue anyone when he had no money before.

It's true that feelings are so uncontrollable.

Unlike career, in career, you can often gain something according to how much you put in.

And what about feelings?

Often you pay ten cents, but in the end you may not get a dime in return.

Qi Meilan's reply came first.

"Your efficiency in doing what you say can indeed be called 'flying first', but you have plans and goals for starting this business, and your ideas are very clear, so I don't think you are a 'stupid bird'."

Yang Xingyu replied: "Whether I am stupid or not depends on whether I can succeed in starting this business. If I fail, I must be stupid!"

As soon as this message was sent, Zhen Xin's reply came.

"You are quite optimistic. I wish you success!"

Yang Xingyu looked at the content of this message and frowned slightly, because he was not sure what her state of mind was when she said this.

This kind of words will have completely opposite meanings if they are said with different mentality.

If she said it with admiration, it was a compliment to him.

If it is said with disdain, it is contempt for him.

It's easy to determine what her state of mind is.

Very good verification.

Immediately he replied: "Thank you! By the way, I have to be busy with decoration these days. When I finish these days, I will go to the city to see you. Let's have a good chat then?"

If she still agrees to meet him, it means that she believes the pie he just painted for her and does not sneer at it.

On the contrary, it naturally means that she doesn't believe a word of the pie he painted for her and is no longer willing to associate with him.

Qi Meilan's reply came first again.

"You can't say that. Don't judge a hero by his success or failure! Even if your business fails this time, it doesn't mean anything. There are many possible reasons for the failure of your business."

Yang Xingyu smiled and was about to reply when Zhen Xin's reply came.

Zhen Xin: "Okay, don't be in a hurry."

Still want to meet me?

The smile on Yang Xingyu's face became a little thicker.

Because this shows that the pie he just drew worked.

"Thank you for understanding!"

He replied to Zhen Xin first, and then replied to Qi Meilan - "Old classmate, you are so considerate and a good wife!"

Zhen Xin replied: "You're welcome." Qi Meilan replied: "You are over-praising me, and your standards for a good wife are too low."

……

Zhen Xin didn't talk much. After chatting with Yang Xingyu for about half an hour, she took the initiative to end the chat with Yang Xingyu.

In contrast, Qi Meilan was more talkative. She and Yang Xingyu chatted back and forth, taking the initiative to find topics from time to time. She chatted with Yang Xingyu for more than an hour before ending tonight's chat.

……

Early the next morning, Yang Xingyu got up to work.

Before breakfast, the kitchen sewer pipes were laid out.

After breakfast, when he was preparing to wire the kitchen, he looked at the newly painted walls in the kitchen and suddenly changed his mind.

He originally planned to cut grooves in the wall and bury the wires in the wall to make hidden wires. The hidden wires are more beautiful.

But when things came to a head, he suddenly felt that his kitchen wall was not suitable for grooves and hidden wiring.

Because this kitchen was built relatively early, when the walls were built, they were all hollow, and the walls were built with yellow mud instead of cement mortar.

Such a wall is definitely not strong.

If grooves are made on this wall, the strength will be even worse.

Moreover, the bright line saves time and effort.

As for whether it’s beautiful or not?

When he makes money, these old houses will definitely be demolished and rebuilt.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful the wires are laid out, it doesn't make much sense.

After changing his mind, he thought about it and started to build a rectangular pool under the wall outside the kitchen.

The purpose of building this pool is to disembowel the duck and remove its heart and lungs every day when cooking roast duck.

What is foreseeable is that as long as his roast duck can open up sales, he will make at least seven or eight roast ducks every day, or even dozens of roast ducks.

The disembowelment and cleaning of so many ducks requires a large space.

It would be very inconvenient without a big pool.

Building a pool is not difficult.

Level the ground beside the wall and lay a layer of red bricks to build the frame of the pool.

This pool does not need to be very deep, because you will need to sit by the pool every day to dig out and clean the ducks in the pool. Therefore, if the pool is too deep, it will be inconvenient to operate.

Of course, it doesn't work if it's too shallow, because that way you won't be able to put many ducks in, and you won't be able to store much water.

The pool he finally built was 40 centimeters deep.

When the cement is laid and the tiles are installed, it will become lighter.

On the same day, the pool was built and the toilet was painted. In the evening, the family of three worked together to lay a layer of cement mortar on the kitchen, bathroom, and pool floors to harden the floors.

When we finished work, it was already past 7 p.m.

The family of three is very tired.

Yang Qingshi took a change of clothes and went to the utility room to take a shower. Fang Xiaomei was tired and didn't want to cook, so she boiled water on the liquefied gas stove and prepared some noodles for the family's dinner.

Yang Xingyu sat on the rice seedling stool and rested with his back against the wall of the main room, preparing to wait for his father to finish washing and then take a shower himself.

(Seedling stool: a small stool about [-] centimeters high. It is used to sit on when pulling out rice seedlings in the paddy fields every year. At other times, it is a small stool commonly used at home.)
"Xiaoyu, are you going to lay the tiles tomorrow?"

Fang Xiaomei sat on the bench next to the Eight Immortals table and asked her son casually.

Yang Xingyu hummed, and at this moment, a majestic figure walked into the door of his house. The person was about 36 or [-] years old, and his face shape and facial features were about [-] to [-]% similar to Yang Qingshi's.

It's Yang Xingyu's brother-in-law, Yang Qingsi.

Seeing Yang Qingsi, Yang Xingyu was startled for a moment, then smiled and raised his hand to say hello: "Here comes the guy? Have you eaten? If not, can you eat some noodles with us later?"

Laolao is what they call uncle here.

According to the order of brothers from the father's generation, they are generally called "big brother", "second brother", "third brother"...

Yang Qingsi, ranked fourth, is Yang Xingyu's brother-in-law. When his second and third brothers are not present, he usually calls him "Lao Lao" directly. If the second and third brothers are present, he calls Yang Qingsi "little guy".

Hearing Yang Xingyu's greeting, Fang Xiaomei turned to look at the door. When she saw Yang Qingsi, she forced a smile and said, "Fourth is here? Why don't you have something to eat here?"

Yang Qingsi shook his head quickly, "I, I have eaten, I have eaten, I have eaten a long time ago! How did you arrive at your house and you haven't had dinner yet?"

Yang Qingsi has a stuttering problem.
