043 High investment does not necessarily lead to high returns
5 pounds of stick noodles and 3 pounds of white flour were used to make 80 steamed buns, which he steamed all afternoon.
Those who come back from get off work can smell the fragrance of Erhe Noodles all over the yard as soon as they enter the yard.
Fortunately, not everyone can really afford Erhe Noodles and steamed buns, and compared with meat, no one will feel jealous because of it.
It was almost 6 o'clock in the evening, and the second uncle and others finally drove the carriage to the courtyard.
Even though the carriage sounds like it will be very fast.
But in fact, when walking a long distance, the speed of a carriage is not much faster than walking.
As soon as they met, the second uncle and others were frightened by Chu Qianqian, who was wearing a military coat and a gun hanging on his waist.
Of course, this kind of scare also comes with surprise.
When he just greeted Chu Qianqian, even the team leader Qin Dakui, who had always spoken in the forest farm before, had a kind and careful attitude.
Before, he thought that Chu Xiangqian was just working as a temporary worker on the streets in the city, but he saw that he was armed with a gun, and the uniform he wore looked like it was made of good quality materials.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, looking at this, the old Chu family has become prosperous again.
As the saying goes, 'Don't bully young people who are poor', seeing that Chu Xiangqian is already showing signs of gaining momentum, normal people would know how to show favor.
Besides, if you say a few nice words, you won’t lose anything to yourself.
Chu Xiangqian deliberately dressed up to let Qin Dakui and Accountant Jiang know that he had established a firm foothold in the city.
Walking down the steps of the door, Chu Qianqian took the initiative to extend his hand, with a bright smile on his face, "Uncle Qin, Accountant Jiang, Second Uncle, Uncle Jiang, please come in quickly, dinner is ready."
After saying that, he nodded to Aiguo and Aimin as a compliment to them.
Sure enough, the smiles on the faces of these two boys suddenly brightened up.
Only then did Qin Dakui and others come back to their senses, smiling and shaking hands with Chu Qianqian.
People in the yard had long seen guests coming to Chu Xiangqian's home, and Chu Xiangqian was wearing uniform, so they all came up to say hello.
Chu greeted Qianqian with a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.
None of them went home for dinner, obviously because they wanted to enjoy a meal.
However, after seeing Xu Damao, Chu Xiangqian was moved.
Treating him to a meal and earning him two bottles of good wine is not taking advantage of someone, right?
And this guy loves face the most.
Smiling, he waved to Xu Damao, took his arm, and said to Qin Dakui, "Captain, Accountant Jiang, this is Comrade Xu Damao, the projectionist of the steel rolling mill.
Let’s have a drink with him tonight, and maybe our village will be able to watch movies in the future.”
Xu Damao was overjoyed, this kind of limelight thing was his favorite.
Moreover, he had already agreed in the morning that he would go to Forest Farm Village to play a movie, and Chu Xiangqian took him into the mountains to hunt.
Now he said that he would only go to the forest farm to watch a movie if the people at the forest farm had a good drink with him.
It's obvious that he is trying to give himself face and wants benefits.
He even asked the captain, accountant and others of Linchang Village to remember his favor.
Secretly, Chu Xiangqian is a friend worth making.
He patted his chest with a smile and promised that he would go to the field to give a report tomorrow and that he would definitely go to the forest village to show a movie in the future.
Qin Dakui and Accountant Jiang are not stupid either. Xu Damao said they would only show one scene for Chu Xiangqian's sake.
If you still want to watch movies in the future, it depends on whether the village can win over Xu the projectionist.
The reason why the movie must be shown in the forest farm is very simple.
When it's time to show a movie, most people from the villages within a few or more than a dozen miles will go to watch the movie.
Once there are more young men and young women in the forest farm, it will be much easier for the young men and women to get married.
And whichever village the movie is shown in is also a good thing to earn face.
And the foundation often values face the most.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook Xu Damao's hand tightly, "Comrade projectionist, our village has many delicacies and game. Keep it so that you can eat it satisfactorily and leave happily."
This is too straightforward to say, it is like saying that you will be provided with delicious food and drink, and you will not be empty-handed when you leave.
But this is the case in the local area these days.
Even the people in the yard were probably used to Xu Damao bringing something back every time he went to the countryside, so no one took it seriously.
Xu Damao suddenly felt that he had gained face. After being polite to Qin Dakui and others, he pulled Chu Qianqian and said, "Brother, I have two bottles of good wine at home. I'm going to get it for you."
Chu Xiangqian hurriedly pretended to be polite and held him back, but said that even though Qin Dakui was a lumberjack leader, he was actually a cadre of the Forestry Bureau.
He also serves as the forest farm team leader.
Xu Damao was a complete snobbery. When he heard this, he sneaked home to get some wine.
And be sure to get good wine.
One told Qin Dakui and others that he has no shortage of good things, so when he wants to give himself something in the future, don’t give it out if it is too ordinary.
Secondly, if Chu Qianqian was pushed down with a few bottles of wine, Xu Damao would get excited just thinking about it.
After entering the house, I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in search of wine.
Finally, when I was carrying two bottles of Xifeng priced at 2.5 yuan a bottle, I hesitated for a moment and replaced them with two bottles of Wuliangye priced at 5 yuan a bottle.
In his mind, this is called high investment with high returns.
From now on, if I go to the forest farm and bring back two or three rabbits, pheasants, and two bottles of wine, I will make money.
Lou Xiao'e in the room who was watching asked curiously, "Xu Damao, what's wrong with you? You've been hiding this wine like a treasure for almost two years, and now you are willing to take it out?"
Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "You don't understand. Chu Qianqian in the front yard today is wearing a military coat and carrying a gun. If I don't take advantage of his relatives from his hometown to come and bring out some good things, I will be killed by him."
It’s a comparison.
Besides, he is now in the street security department, so give him face so that he can speak to him if he really needs help from now on.
Moreover, his relative is from the Forestry Bureau. In the future, when our family wants to buy some furniture or needs some wood, we can just contact him directly."
Lou Xiao'e is not completely stupid, but she has never lacked food and drink since she was a child. After marrying Xu Damao, she did not go to work.
Eating and sleeping all day long, and eating while sleeping, will make a person much stupider.
But when it comes to business, Lou Xiaoe also understands that Xu Damao is right.
Moreover, the money spent on tobacco and alcohol is the least valuable to the Lou family.
When he heard that Chu Xiangqian was from the street, he didn't say anything.
However, Xu Damao was always reluctant to part with the two bottles of Wuliangye. After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the two bottles of Xifeng, which made Lou Xiaoe roll her eyes.
Secretly thinking that this guy is a loser, he turned around and took out a red peony and a blue peony from the cabinet.
Looking at Xu Damao, he said, "You yourself said that Xiao Chu is from the street and his relatives have good jobs. If something happens in the yard in the future, the three uncles will definitely have to consider Chu Xiangqian's opinion.
Two bottles of wine are out, so don’t worry about two more cigarettes.”
"This, this."
Xu Damao was dumbfounded. The total amount was 15 yuan. Is this too much face?
But when he thought that he wanted to buy tiger bones and tiger whip from Chu Qianqian, he gritted his teeth, took the cigarette and said, "Then give me a bag, so as not to be seen by people in the yard, it is too conspicuous." In Lou Xiao'e's eyes, 15 yuan is just like that.
