Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 107 Why let others see it?

As soon as Manager Hu heard this, he took people to the seat by the window. "I'm really sorry. This waiter has a bad attitude. I apologize to both of you."

In any case, their name is to serve customers.Are you now blatantly making things difficult for your guests?How can that work.

The waiter didn't dare to say anything at the side, so another waiter came to greet me.

Seeing his sincere attitude, Qin Hao did not continue to embarrass him.

"Sir, please take your order." Manager Hu smiled and handed over the menu, then told the waiter to have a correct attitude before leaving.

Looking at the prices of the dishes on the menu, Qin Hao didn't think much. There were many dishes ranging from three to five yuan a portion to eighty-nine yuan or more.

But Shi Chunsheng's face turned dark when he saw it. What kind of hotel is this?So expensive!

A portion of beef brisket actually costs eight yuan?Stealing money!A piece of beef weighs just over a pound.

"Qin Hao..." Before he could say anything about going elsewhere, the man started ordering.

Qin Hao said calmly: "Let's have some tomato beef brisket, some roast duck, some roast lamb chops, and some boiled beef."

Four dishes are enough for two people. Who knows how many dishes they have?

The two of them also brought a basin of rice, and they ate as much as they could, almost a pound of rice.

It is calculated based on one pound of uncooked rice.

Shi Chunsheng calculated the total price the moment the waiter took back the menu.

Good guy, a total of 53 yuan!

"Qin Hao, you are too arrogant. How can you repay the favor?" Shi Chunsheng lowered his voice, a little anxious.

It's okay to arrange a meal outside the house, but how will he face it if he eats like this?

"Brother Chunsheng, who did you learn this mother-in-law's character from? You can't be like Lao Liu and just eat when you're invited." Qin Hao sighed.

Then he said: "Since I can treat you, it means that I have them. They are all brothers. Don't say this again in the future."

It's not that it's not good to save money for you, but it's a good idea sometimes. He doesn't do this every day, so who can bear it?

Shi Chunsheng stopped talking. He also felt that he was a little too worried. People could spend whatever they wanted to earn money, so what did it have to do with him.

During the meal, the two of them ate openly. The portions of the dishes were not small, and the grilled lamb chops made them full.

The remaining dishes were basically left untouched, so Qin Hao packed them up directly.There was no packaging box, so he went directly to the nearby grocery store to buy two pots and packed boiled beef and rice.

They both ate about the same amount of the rest and were drooling, so they didn't pack it up.

Shi Chunsheng was reluctant to part with it, and he packed up the most beef brisket. The duck had only bones left, so he stopped eating it.

He can't eat spicy food, and he doesn't know how delicious the boiled beef is.It was obviously called boiled pork, but when it was served, it was filled with chili peppers.

After leaving the restaurant, Qin Hao smacked his lips and thought it tasted really good. He always thought it was better than modern food.

The main reason is that the meat today is very fragrant, and the meat bought in modern times is not as delicious.Others can't eat it because there is no oil or water in their stomachs. As long as they eat meat, it will be delicious.

"This dish is really expensive, but it's really delicious." Shi Chunsheng sighed, and then took out his hand to crank the tractor.

The two went to the town to refuel before returning to the village.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon, and Shi Chunsheng still has to collect the eggs. They were confiscated yesterday.

His father would help him get some, and he would have to hurry up and get the rest.

Qin Hao asked him to come over for dinner at night, but the man never came.

In fact, he knew that he was bothering Shi Chunsheng and delaying the collection of eggs, but he didn't feel at ease letting someone else drive the tractor.

The TV was moved home secretly, and it was wrapped in a sack outside. Qin Qiang's family was next door to the house, so no one noticed it.

Looking at the things Qin Hao brought back, Li Meiling immediately understood what they were.

She asked excitedly: "Is it a TV?"

"Yeah." Qin Hao nodded and opened the package.

"Color TV?!" Li Meiling exclaimed, then looked at him in disbelief, "You, why did you buy a color TV!"

As soon as this large [-]-inch color TV was taken out, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

Twelve-inch black and white TVs are amazing, but what about eighteen-inch color TVs? !

The village chief’s family bought a [-]-inch black and white TV. Good guy, he suppressed the village chief’s family right now.

Qin Hao smiled and said: "Buy one that we are not allowed to buy? Don't worry, no one will turn on this TV, and no one can tell whether it is in color or black and white."

"You're right!" Li Meiling nodded in agreement, "I don't want so many people to watch the TV. Not to mention the electricity consumption, this thing will not last for a long time. I haven't watched it yet, why should I let others watch it?"

No one in the village chief's family dared to use the TV. A few households bought a TV and people visited the house every day, not only delaying their meals but also consuming electricity.

It's too much to say that it's hard for neighbors to do things well, why don't you say it?Come on, when do you go to bed and when do you turn off the TV? There are so many shameless people at home.

Qin Hao looked at her stingy look and nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, we won't show it to others! Our house is not a movie theater, so why should we just come and watch it?"

The couple's opinions are very similar and they are unanimous in speaking to the outside world.The antenna at home is set up, but the TV is not set up.Anyone who really has good faith came to take a look. I walked around but didn’t see a TV.

"Hey? It belongs to Qin Hao's family. Where is your TV?" A middle-aged woman rolled her eyes curiously.

Li Meiling glanced at her and said, "Where is the TV? Hang up the entire antenna and pretend there is a TV at home."

"Ah? How can it still be like this?" The man rolled his eyes, his face full of contempt. Why should he pretend to have no money?

She looked at the new furniture and was a little jealous, "Isn't your furniture really good? Isn't it more expensive than a TV?"

New furniture doesn't cost hundreds of dollars, but it's more expensive than a TV.

Li Meiling smiled and waved her hands, and said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law, please don't go out and talk nonsense. I repainted and renovated old furniture myself. It cost more than 100 yuan, which is no different from new furniture worth [-] or [-] yuan." Bar?"

After saying that, she smiled as if she had gotten a bargain.

Upon hearing this, the woman looked down even more and turned around to leave.

Maybe I was talking to someone, saying that their family was poor and pretending to be poor.

Li Meiling sneered proudly. Want to come to their house to watch TV?She is so beautiful!

But it doesn't matter what others say to her, as long as she lives comfortably.I don't usually go out for a walk, and I don't have any close friends, so it's more relaxing this way.

The house in the old house has been almost completed in the past two days. Today, the outside is finished, and the cement and plastering have started inside.

Nowadays, I don’t have the habit of scraping the white paint. I only have a layer of white putty, so that’s all good.Some people still have cement walls and are reluctant to put putty on them.

Qin Hao saw that the house was almost ready and the windows had been installed. All that was left was to putty and paint the windows.

"Okay, it worked pretty quickly. I thought it would take two months to finish." He counted the days and it was only one month.

This is also because there are so many people at home, and basically all the young people in the house come to help.

There will be no time in a few days, everyone has to be busy with family matters.

Qin De nodded, looking at such a big house still felt like a dream.

"Is this our house?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the family fell silent.

If you were on your own, it might take you seven or eight years to build a house of this size.

Don't talk about saving two hundred a year. If you need money for life, even if you don't need food and drink, don't you need to buy other things?
You just spend it in a hurry to make money. When it comes time to actually use the money, you can't save it at all.So basically they built a house during the famine, paid back the money they earned, and lived in a big house in advance.

"Brother, life will be better in the future. Once the putty is removed, we will go to the town to check out the goods and open the store as soon as possible." Qin Hao went over and patted him, telling him to cheer up.

Qin De nodded and said nothing.

Not one of them mentioned anything about opening a store.The whole family, including He Lizong, did not mention this matter to anyone.

It’s not that you’re afraid of being remembered, so you have to be on guard!
This cannot be said before the business is opened.There are people watching when selling eggs, let alone opening a store?

In fact, there should be a consignment store among the more than 200 households in their neighborhood, but no one does it because they are afraid of selling goods.The money to buy goods must be at least two to three hundred, who dares to do it.

This is also the reason why rural areas are not developing rapidly. They are used to being comfortable and do not want to waste money.

Qin Ershuan looked at the door several times a day, looked at Qin De with a smile, and said: "Let's put up the kang tomorrow and pave the ground with red bricks. There is no reason to use the land. It's too boring."

When the land is swept, it is full of dirt, which is fine in winter, but too dirty in summer.

Hearing this, Qin Hao interrupted: "Why don't we build a cement floor? I'll buy the cement that's missing."

"No, can't we just lay bricks?" Qin De thinks there is no need to waste money. Now everyone is laying red bricks.

Others also think so. The most important thing is that it is a waste of money. Cement is much more expensive than red bricks, costing 30 yuan per ton.

Qin Hao sighed and advised: "Brother, if you open a small store, there will be people coming and going. Your red bricks can't withstand being stepped on. How will the potholes look unsightly? It won't be easy for Dad to walk even with his wheelchair."

The last sentence was for Qin Erzhu, and the old couple were old. If they tripped on a raised brick and fell, they would be killed.

Qin De had never thought about it, and when he heard what he said, he felt it made sense, "Okay, I didn't think carefully, so let's do it!"

After the house came to an end, the yard of the old house was filled in again.

But the neighbors around me said why they didn't demolish the old house and built one at the door. How inconvenient is this?
Wang Dahua didn't explain. She just said that it would be inconvenient for her family to live with more people in the future, so she didn't even mention the matter of opening a store.

Qin Hao went to the town to buy cement and used Shi Chunsheng's ox cart to pull it home. It didn't take more than a ton to just shop the house, and the ox cart could pull it home.

I went to the village chief's house again and talked to Qin Youcai about opening a consignment store.

"Open a shop?" Qin Youcai was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you collecting eggs now? Can you still be busy?"

He didn't object, because it made it easier for the villagers to buy things. It was really inconvenient to have to go to the town to buy things like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar every time.

Occasionally people pass by picking up goods, but they don’t come here often.
