Chapter 109 Let's open a branch
Chen Songshi lived in Qingniu Town, and she lived a very leisurely life. Every day, Chen Sanniu needed to go to the morning market to buy vegetables, but others didn't. Chen Songshi slept with everyone until she woke up naturally, and then slowly got up to eat breakfast.After breakfast, it's usually after nine o'clock, and Chen Songshi is going to go out for a walk at this time, and her walk will be until noon, when the store is busy at noon, she will come back to help.After finishing her work at noon, she went out to hang out again, and then didn't come back until dinner time.

Chen Songshi went out twice a day, which made everyone very puzzled. When asked her, she laughed and said it was nothing, she just went out and wandered around, but Chen Guaibao always felt that Chen Songshi was planning something.

But no matter what Chen Songshi is brewing, Chen Guaibao is not worried, Chen Songshi can't turn over too much waves, even if it turns out, Chen Guaibao is not worried, space is in hand, she has the world, she has it when the sky falls Don't be afraid.

Chen Songshi stayed until the 26th of the Lunar New Year before going back. She had to go back. Many things at home during the Chinese New Year could not be separated from the hostess: such as steaming steamed buns and frying various foods.

The Chinese New Year is coming, Chen Guaibao's family is busy with the Chen family's home cooking business, and at the same time they are also buying new year's goods at home. Grandma Chen and old man Chen are at home.

On the afternoon of the New Year's Eve, Chen Guaibao's family closed the shop of the Chen family's home-cooked food, and then returned to Shanhe Village in an ox cart carrying all kinds of New Year's goods. Yang Silang did not follow, and now he and the Liu family's The relationship is very deep, and on New Year's Eve, he also hopes to spend it with the Liu family.

It is the custom of the Chen family to eat their own food on New Year's Eve, and get together on the first day of the new year. On the evening of the first day, more than a dozen members of the Chen family gathered in the old courtyard of the Chen family to have a reunion dinner.

This year is a year of revitalization for the Chen family. The most gratifying thing is to get the silver rewarded by the emperor. Apart from this, the restaurant opened by Chen Sanniu is also booming, and there is also the profit from the future ginger. People can't close their mouths with joy.

The Chen family has settled down in Shanhe Village for decades, and has been poor for decades. From the initial lack of food and clothing, to the food and clothing just a few years ago, and now to the hundreds of taels of silver and the people who are full of light. With the future in sight, the Chen family is finally about to embark on the road to prosperity.

At the dinner table, everyone was very happy, talking loudly, laughing when they said they were happy, drinking and eating meat, drinking and eating happily.Chen Guaibao also likes this kind of atmosphere. The family gathers together to eat a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in winter, talking and laughing together, it's really lively.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Song suddenly smiled and said to Chen Sanniu, "Sanniu, the business of Chen's home cooking is so good, have you considered opening a branch?"

About the branch?When Chen Songshi said this suddenly, Chen Sanniu was puzzled, and he subconsciously asked, "What about the branch?"

"It is to open another restaurant in the town, and the name is also Chen's Home Cooking. This new restaurant is a branch of Chen's Home Cooking." Chen Song explained with a smile on his face.

"Sister-in-law, the business of Chen's home cooking is not good enough to open another one..." Chen Sanniu broke into a cold sweat, his sister-in-law was too whimsical.Qingniu Town is only that big, and the source of customers is almost fixed. When a new restaurant opens, the restaurants next to it will lose business.The reason why the old Wang and his wife happened at the beginning was because Chen's home-cooked food robbed his family's business.

And to be honest, the business of Chen's home cooking is not very good. When there are tomatoes in summer, they can make a net profit of 60 taels a month, but without tomatoes, they can earn about 30 taels a month.

After opening the restaurant for half a year, although they earned some money, they also spent a lot. After all, the Chen family was too poor and had a lot of things to buy.And in the town, all expenses need money. Chen Sanniu never wronged his wife and children, and was generous to his nephews. His wife, children and nephews saw what they wanted to eat, wear, and play with. Almost every time the cow is bought without hesitation.

Now that he has opened a restaurant in the town for half a year, Chen Sanniu's current family fortune is only more than 200 taels of silver.Chen Sanniu remembered what Chen Guaibao said about buying a house, and he silently calculated in his heart, more than 200 taels of silver, if he wanted to buy a house he wanted in the town, the money was a little tight.

"I think the business of Chen's home-cooked food is very good. At noon, you are so busy that you don't touch the ground." Seeing Chen Sanniu's embarrassed face, Chen Song told the truth of what she saw.

"That's because of the Chinese New Year, and business is not so good on weekdays." Chen Sanniu explained.

"How about the usual business?" Chen Song asked.

"In a normal day, it would be three or four taels of silver. After the cost is taken into account, there is not much loss. At the market, the situation is better. You can sell seven or eight taels of silver a day, but there are only four days of the market in a month. "The people here are the Chen family, and Chen Sanniu has nothing to hide, just tell the truth.

"That's a lot, a lot. Thinking about the past, I couldn't earn a tael of silver all year round." I think that when the family was not separated, Chen Sanniu was the poorest among the three brothers of the Chen family, and he had been married to Chen Yang for so many years. The family property is less than three taels of silver.Now there are at least three or four taels of silver in the account every day, Chen Song is so envious of this, she also wants to go to the town to do business!

Opening a restaurant, no matter how little the daily income is, is better than farming in Shanhe Village. Mrs. Chen Song has been to Mrs. Chen's home cooking several times, and every time she went to Mrs. Chen Sanniu, she would prepare a table of delicious dishes for her. Chen Song's mistakenly thought that Chen Sanniu's family ate so well every day, even if it wasn't so good, it was much better than what they ate in Shanhe Village.

Seeing this, Chen Song thought carefully. She didn't want to farm in Shanhe Village anymore. She didn't want to spend her life planing on the land. She also wanted to open a small restaurant in the town. I am very satisfied, this is much better than farming in Shanhe Village.

"Dasou, what's your idea? Say it out and let everyone add up." Chen Sanniu saw that Chen Songshi was like this, so he simply asked Chen Songshi to explain it directly.

"That's what I think." Chen Songshi looked around, and seeing that everyone was looking at her, she cleared her throat, and then said, "Sanniu's restaurant business is good now, so why not open it in the town again?" A branch store, the branch store will be run by Damai Dami. I thought, no matter how bad the business of the new store is, it will be better than farming in Shanhe Village, right? Farming in Shanhe Village will not make much money throughout the year. And years ago In the past few days, I looked around the town, and there are suitable houses for rent, so we might as well open them after the Chinese New Year.”

After Chen Songshi finished speaking, everyone was stunned.Especially Chen Guaibao, she wanted to complain directly: So a few days ago, I went out twice a day to look at the storefront, and let Barley and Rice take care of the cooking?How long did it take barley and rice to learn how to cook?I really thought her mother was the principal of the New Oriental Chef School, and she would be able to graduate after just a few months of training.

Damai was the first to speak, and when he heard that his mother wanted him to cook, he said hesitantly, "Mother, I'm not good enough to be a master yet. Compared with my third aunt's cooking, the dishes I cook are far behind."

"Me too. Although I went there a while earlier than Brother Big Mac, I can't handle cooking alone at my current level. I still have a lot to learn." Rice also said.

"But I see you two cooking every day." Seeing that neither barley nor rice supported her decision, Chen Song felt a little anxious.

"That's because the third aunt is really too busy, and the third aunt is watching. We can't do too badly." Damai shook his head honestly. He did have the desire to open a restaurant by himself, but not now, he is now There is still a lot to learn.

"You child" Seeing that her eldest son did not support her words, Chen Songshi gave him a reproachful look, and Damai shrank his head when he saw this, and continued to eat sullenly.

"Sister-in-law, I can understand that you want to open a restaurant, but there is no rush for this matter. There is still a lot to learn about barley and rice." Chen Yang said softly.

"Oh, Mulian, you have left Shanhe Village, and you don't have to suffer anymore. Pity me, my sister-in-law, who will continue to suffer in Shanhe Village." Chen Song sighed.

There are two reasons why Chen Song wants to open a restaurant. One is that farming is too hard. After seeing the benefits of Chen Sanniu opening a restaurant, she does not want to continue farming; the other is that her two sons are too hard. When she was in the town, she saw Da Zhuang and Zhuang Zhuang always running and playing, while her two children were busy in the restaurant. This made Chen Song very upset. They are both grandsons of the Chen family. What is such a big gap?

The combination of these two reasons made Chen Song's idea of ​​opening a restaurant very strong, so strong that she went to the town to look at the house without saying a word a year ago.

"It's really not possible, we can hire another cook." Chen Lishi said, she was very moved by Chen Songshi's suggestion.In the past when the Chen family was poor, she and Chen Song had a quarrel for three days and five days, and they didn't like each other. Now that she has money in her hands, the relationship between her and Chen Song has eased down. Now, she and Chen Songshi hardly ever quarreled.

"That's right, barley and rice are of limited quality, but we can hire other chefs. Now that we have money in hand, we can still afford one or two chefs." Chen Song agrees with Chen Li's words, no matter what, She wants to open a restaurant after the year.

"Have you two made a decision?" Grandma Chen said.

"Of course we have to discuss the details again," Chen Song said.

"I've gone to the town to open a restaurant. What about the family's fields? You have seen Sanniu's hard work during the autumn harvest. He lost a lot of weight when he ran back and forth in the town and the village." Grandma Chen thought In Chen's view, the land is the foundation of everything, and the land cannot be abandoned no matter what.

"Mother, the newly opened restaurant is jointly opened by me and Er Niu's family. The two families will take care of one restaurant, and they will be able to come here when the time comes." Chen Songshi said.In the past six months, the old man Chen and Grandma Chen moved to Chen Sanniu's house, and they have been doing some work for Chen Sanniu within their ability. In Chen Song's eyes, it is inevitable that she will be unfair.She thought in her heart that when her family opened a restaurant in the town and was too busy, she didn't believe that Old Man Chen and Grandma Chen would just watch.

"What about the big bulls and two bullies, what do you think?" Grandma Chen asked.

Chen Erniu didn't say a word, Chen Daniu was silent for a while, and then said, "Try it, if it doesn't work, then come back to farm." As a man, Chen Daniu naturally wants his wife and children to live better, now that he has the ability and the opportunity , he naturally wanted to grab it and give it a try.If he succeeds, life will be infinitely better after that. If he fails, he will start all over again when he returns to Shanhe Village. Anyway, he has money in his hand.

The men in the Chen family are actually very similar. Chen Sanniu is willing to spend money for his wife and children, and so is Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu.Although the Chen family was very poor before, they were not afraid of poverty. Now that they have money in their hands, they are not stingy and spend it in half. They are willing to spend money and take risks for their wives and children.

"Since the eldest brother has decided, let's try it. After the new year, go to the county to recruit cooks. If you need anything, just ask." Chen Sanniu said.The big deal is to earn less in the future. They are all my own brothers, and it would be great if they can make a fortune together and work together on the road to a well-off life.

"Well, then it's settled." Chen Daniu nodded.

So such a big matter is settled.Sitting aside, Chen Guaibao shook his head in his heart, forget it, he will earn less in the future, it's all from the Chen family.

Although it is decided to open a restaurant, there is no rush for this matter. Now it is Chinese New Year, and everyone is immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of the festival. No matter how anxious you are, you will have to wait until the Lantern Festival.

In the second year of junior high school, the children of other families went to visit relatives at their grandma's house. Chen Yang's parents died early, and Chen Yang's family no longer had a natal family. The three brothers and sisters of Chen Guaibao didn't need to visit relatives at their grandma's house.Chen Guaibao's only little friend, Xiangcao, also went to visit relatives at his grandma's house, and the rest of the family went out to have fun on their own, leaving Chen Guaibao alone at home. Chen Guaibao had nothing to do, so he slipped into the space.

"Dear, Happy New Year!" As soon as he entered the space, Xiaoer's voice rang out, which contained a little bit of joy for the New Year.

"Happy New Year, Xiao Er too~~" Chen Guabao returned a big smile, but after the smile passed, Chen Guabao sighed.

"Darling, why are you sighing for the New Year's Eve?" Xiao Er was puzzled.

"It's boring. Everyone else has other people's excitement, only me, alone, every time this time, loneliness is always with me." Chen Guaibao turned on the computer on the desktop while chattering, and began to browse the Taobao website. Yes, many stores are offering discounts.

"Honey, you're a literary artist." Seeing Chen Guaibao like this, Xiao Er joked.

"Wrong, this is not literature and art, this is sadness." Chen Guaibao said while looking up at a 45-degree angle with one hand on his chin, sadness is not bright, alas.

Seeing Chen Guaibao like this, Xiao Er burst out laughing, "Darling, you can buy some books to pass the time." Xiao Er enthusiastically advised Chen Guaibao.

"Reluctance." She doesn't want to read books on history and literature, after all, they are far away from her current life. As for online novels, most of them are fast food, and they were downloaded on the phone or read on the computer when there was nothing to do. It doesn't matter, but now that money is scarce, she is reluctant to spend money on it.

"You are not short of money now. Compared with when you first came here, you are now a little rich woman."

"Have you ever seen a rich woman with only more than 3000 yuan in her account?" Chen Guaibao asked rather resentfully, and if the money was spent on Taobao, she would have to pay for the ridiculous time and space transportation fee, and her purchasing power would be huge. shrinkage.

"Uh, compared to when you first wore it, it's already very good."

"It's not good, it's annoying." Chen Guaibao sighed.

"What bothers you, tell me and I will enlighten you."

"Now it's Chinese New Year, everyone else has gone out to play, almost no one stays at home, but I can only stay at home, I have nowhere to go, compared with the excitement of others, my loneliness is even more pitiful . ” I hate the feeling of watching other people’s liveliness with cold eyes and tasting the loneliness of being alone.

"When will Yang Silang come back? When he comes back, you won't be bored anymore." Yang Silang's gaze was always on Chen Guaibao.

"He came back after the fifth day of the lunar new year. He has a very good relationship with Liu's family, and he is now Dean Liu's adoptive son, and he is a young talent. He needs to go out with Dean Liu to socialize." Said Yang Silang, Chen Guaibao lost interest in browsing the webpage, the festive red color on the webpage made Chen Guaibao feel glaring, she closed the webpage casually, lying on the table wearily.

Damn Yang Silang, he wasn't there when she was in a bad mood, and if she wanted to ravage him, she couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on. He was so incompetent as a little bamboo horse.Hmph, wait until he comes back and ignore him!

"Just wait for him to come back." Xiaoer comforted Chen Guaibao.

"En." Chen Guaibao snorted from his nostrils.

"What's bothering you?" Xiao Er continued to enlighten.

"Oh, my aunt and my second aunt are going to open a restaurant in the town, and the business of Chen's home-cooked food will not be good. Now my family has just started, and there are still many things that need money." Staying in the house, this will spend all the money I earned in the last six months.

"It's inevitable at this time. After all, we have to be together to make a fortune. They are all brothers surnamed Chen." The second child knows that Chen Guaibao has never had much sense of family identity for Chen Song and Chen Li. , He needs to come forward to solve Chen Guaibao.

"I know, I just feel annoyed." Chen Guaibao rubbed his face while talking, alas, every month there will always be those days when you are upset, these are the days.

She was in a good mood at the New Year's Eve dinner last night, but after hearing Chen Song's proposal, her mood has been depressed until now.Chen Guaibao counted the New Year's Eve dinners in the past few years with her fingers, and she discovered something: every time when she was eating happily, Chen Songshi suddenly asked something or suggested something, so she followed Chen Songshi's words. mood will become bad.

Chen Songshi has the ability to mess up her mood every time.

She and Chen Songshi are really at odds, Chen Guaibao pouted.

But what Xiao Er said was right, they were all brothers surnamed Chen, and now their family's life was easier, Chen Song's request, her father would not refuse no matter what.And when the restaurant was just opened before, her father said that if the restaurant's business is good in the future, then the three of us will do it together.

Now the business of Chen's home cooking is pretty good, and it's time for Chen Sanniu to fulfill his promise.

Afterwards, Chen Guaibao and Xiaoer continued chatting, and they didn't leave the space until it was almost noon.
