Lin Lan accepted the money and went back to the kitchen to do some work.
Lin Changyou looked at Lin Guozhu: "When will you report to the unit?"
Lin Guozhu said: "I originally wanted to go after returning from Shilian. Since the two elders have to stay in Dongshi for a few days, I will go to the work first tomorrow."
Manager Lin nodded: "Work is more important. My home is right there. You can go there anytime."
He was very pleased that his son had changed his job and returned to the army and arranged a job in Dongshi. He no longer had to dig in the soil with his back to the sky and his face to the loess.
In the kitchen, Wu Shufen looked at Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, your brother will have a national household registration in the future, and the family I originally visited is no longer suitable. Please ask Xiuyun and Xiaoman to ask if there is a suitable girl for you.
Let me introduce you."
After hearing this, Lin Lan asked: "What do you want, third brother?"
Wu Shufen shook her head: "I asked your third brother and he told me not to panic. He is already twenty-seven this year. If he doesn't come to me, I worry that he will become a bachelor."
Lin Lan looked at her: "Didn't he find a partner in the army?"
Wu Shufen recalled the scene when mother and son were talking: "I asked him, but he gave me the subsidy without saying anything."
After hearing this, Lin Lan felt that Lin Guozhu might have found a partner: "I think you should ask him if he has found a partner in the army? I will ask Xiuyun and the others to help introduce him."
Wu Shufen nodded after hearing this: "Okay, it's not too late to ask clearly first."
Early the next morning, Lin Guozhu went to the unit to report, and Lin Lan went to the brewery.
The brewery is on the edge of Xicheng City, and you can smell the aroma of soy sauce from a distance when facing the wind.
When Lin Lan arrived at the factory gate, she saw that the factory dam was full of sauce vats, and there were workers stirring the vats with long sticks.
Lin Lan walked in. The old man guarding the door stopped her and asked, "Comrade, what are you buying?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Uncle, I would like to ask if self-employed people can come and wholesale things for sale?"
The uncle shook his head, pointed to the two-story building to the south of the drying area and said, "I don't know. You can go to the sales department and ask."
"Thank you, sir." Lin Lan thanked him and walked towards the south building.
When I arrived at the building, I found the sales department and saw two people sitting at the desk opposite each other, whispering something?
Lin Lan knocked on the door, and the bald middle-aged man looked up at her: "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Lan walked in with a smile and said: "Comrade, I am a self-employed person selling condiments in the east of the city. I want to ask something."
"Self-employed?" Another middle-aged man with a Chinese character face in the office turned to look at Lin Lan, "Tell me what you want?"
Lin Lan said: "I want to ask you to wholesale some douban, soy sauce and vinegar."
The bald man looked at the Chinese-character face and said: "Chief Sun, we all supply to supply and marketing cooperatives and workplace canteens. I have never encountered wholesale sales by self-employed people. What do you think we should do about this?"
Section Chief Sun glanced at Lin Lan: "Comrade, you go back first, we will have a meeting to discuss it, and we will get back to you tomorrow."
Lin Lan didn't expect that business would come to her door and she would have to hold a meeting to discuss it, so she had to say: "Sorry to trouble you, I'll come back tomorrow."
After she went out, she took a look at the iron pot that the workers had uncovered on top of the large vat. The sauce vat contained reddish-brown soy sauce with some star anise floating on it. The east side seemed to be the place where douban was brewed.
She looked at the large and small sauce vats in the sunba, smelled the rich aroma of sauce, and thought about the state-owned breweries that disappeared from public life in just a few years. She felt that it was precisely because of their rigid management and marketing methods that they
Only then did they get lost in the torrent of time.
After coming out of the brewery, Lin Lan went to the east of the city to take a look around, and saw Lin Changyou helping to get bags to load aniseed ingredients for customers, and Xiang Qun was busy weighing customers, thinking about what to do after Lin Changyou left.
To find another person, there must be two people in the store to change shifts.
When Lin Changyou saw Lin Lan coming, he said to her: "I saw Xiuyun and his wife came to see the shop. Some people asked if our shop can be rented?"
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Dad, I don't have to worry about renting out a shop in this location."
Lin Changyou sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect that so many people would come out to open shops as soon as we were released."
Lin Lan looked at him and whispered: "That's why I advise you to take advantage of the good business in the past few years to earn money and accumulate funds. When more people come out to work and earn money in the future, it will not be too late for us to go back."
Lin Changyou nodded repeatedly: "I told your third brother, he said you were right and praised you for your vision."
"Humph!" Lin Lan looked at him dissatisfied, "Partiality, you don't believe what I say, you only believe what the third brother says."
Lin Changyou said happily: "Guo Qiang always said that I was partial to you before, and now you are saying that I am partial to your third brother."
"No way!" Lin Lan smiled and got into the car and rode to Chengnan Pastry Shop, where Yang Lirong was already waiting.
As soon as Yang Lirong saw Lin Lan, she said: "Lin Lan, you see that the third child and the eldest sister have opened shops, you have to help the second sister!"
Lin Lan frowned slightly, looked at her and said, "Second sister, Zhixue and Zhilin have rented stalls in the west and east of the city, and the business is good. Why don't you rent a stall to sell tofu?"
Yang Liqun also nodded: "Yes, Zhixue and the others got more goods today than before!"
Yang Lirong grimaced: "I originally thought that since Liying and Liqun were both in the south of the city, I asked your second brother-in-law to find someone to set up a stall in the north of the city. I don't know how he managed it, but he couldn't rent one until the market opened yesterday."
"I was passing by the east side of the city yesterday and saw my in-laws' grandfather there. He said that the two shops next door also belong to them. I just wanted to ask your help to ask if they want to use those shops?"
The last time she came to Lin Lan to help buy a shop, Lin Lan didn't agree and went back to talk to Yu Hui. Yu Hui said that Lin Lan was angry that they didn't help at first, but now that they made money, they looked down on their family, so they went to find friends in the town for help.
Ask if there is a shop on the street that sells it?
Not long after, Yu Hui’s friend said that he found a house for them on Caishi Street in the north of the city. He said that the owner of the house had someone in his family who was seriously ill and was waiting for money to save his life before selling the house.
After Yu Hui's friend took them to see it, they were both satisfied with the location and price of the shop. After discussion, the two parties decided to pay.
The homeowner said that the hospital was waiting for the payment, so it first put the property ownership in their hands, asking them to pay him half of the house payment first, and then go to the housing management office to transfer the ownership the next day.
The next day, the couple waited at the door of the housing management office for a long time, but did not see the landlord. Yu Hui took the house book to the housing management office to inquire. They said that it was an old house book that had been invalidated and had been no longer used for a long time.
Yu Hui went to his friend to help find the landlord, but they searched all over Dongshi but couldn't find it.
Yu Hui went to his friend to settle the score, but the friend said that he was just helping with the matchmaking and that he didn't know that the person was a liar and that their transaction had nothing to do with him.
The family searched all the hospitals in the east city, and stayed at the shop in the north of the city every day to look for the landlord. The landlord seemed to have disappeared from the world, and not even a shadow was found.
Seeing that the market was about to open, I went to several markets but couldn't rent a stall. I thought that Lin Lan's family had bought a shop in the east of the city and kept it there. I planned to ask Lin Lan to lend them the shop for a few months.
