Xia Zekai didn't know that his wife wanted to get a promotion and a salary increase. He also didn't receive a call from Zhang Yiming about year-end bonuses.
Jiujiufang is no longer responsible for its own profits and losses. As of last month, it had no decent income. The bits and pieces of advertising fees and platform information fees were not even enough to pay the rent of the company's leased office building.
Enough, what else can you expect it to do.
When leaving get off work, Xia Zekai did not forget to take the 112,000 in cash he had locked in the drawer.
He doesn't want to play a game that tests human nature with money. He thinks that is something only a fool would do.
After picking up Yatou and Tongtong at the door of the kindergarten, Xia Zekai took them home to put down their things, changed their clothes, and waited for his wife to come back at home.
I just received this amount of money as a dividend today. If I don't celebrate it, I always feel that this amount of money is not real.
I'm used to cooking stir-fried dishes, so I wanted to change my taste.
Now is not the time for barbecue, but there is a fruit stew restaurant on the street in front. People say it tastes very good. Xia Zekai decided to take his wife and children to try it today.
After waiting for Luo Xiyun to come back, she didn't even bother to change her clothes. She thought that after dinner in the evening, she would be left with a strange smell, so she could just come back and wash them together.
Regardless of whether you eat hot pot or this kind of stew, you will always have a strange smell on your body.
"Mom, hurry up, you are so slow. My sister, dad, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Tongtong covered her belly and almost jumped up.
She is hungry.
Luo Xiyun held a satchel, and Xia Zekai held a handbag, which contained the two sisters' insulated water bottles and waistcoats. They went downstairs and drove his wife's Volvo over.
This specialty restaurant called 'Guomu Stew' is not far from Qiyun Garden Community, and it takes about ten minutes to drive there.
After Luo Xiyun found an open space and parked the car, Xia Zekai first saw several big cars parked in front of the Ford 4S store not far away.
"Dad, look, it's so big!" The girl pointed with her little finger at the three large pickup trucks parked on the side of the road. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Xia Zekai had already seen the Raptor F150, a pickup truck showing off its strong muscles.
All men like it, but the starting price of over 600,000 makes it prohibitive for most people.
"So beautiful!" Xia Zekai exclaimed.
Luo Xiyun asked him: "Do you like it?"
"I definitely like it, but it doesn't make much sense to buy it. Let's go eat first." Xia Zekai pointed to the door of the hotel and said.
It was the twelfth lunar month, the cold winter season, and the entire glass wall of the hotel near the roadside was covered with condensation. From the outside, only a blurry shadow could be seen inside.
It was very warm after entering, and there was a strong smell of meat in the room.
Inside this special hotel, there are bamboo fences dividing the rooms into areas. Each area has a stove made of bricks and mud, and several large horses are placed beside the stove.
One lap, very touching.
The person who greeted the family of four was a woman. She was the proprietress of the store. She looked quite young and knew how to dress up. She always had a smile on her face: "You two, what can we have something to eat?"
With that said, he handed the menu in his hand to Luo Xiyun.
She is really good at business and can see where the family's focus lies.
Luo Xiyun looked at it again and asked Xia Zekai: "They have chicken, duck, goose, fish, steak, dog meat and venison in their store. Zekai, what do you want to eat?"
Xia Zekai thought about a lot of things, including hairy ones and scaly ones. He thought about it and said, "Let's eat something fresh today, some venison."
Luo Xiyun had never eaten venison before, so she agreed at that time.
As for Yatou and Tongtong, they just eat with their mouths and have no right to speak or make suggestions.
While waiting for the food to be served, Xia Zekai ordered 6 more lamb hooves, put large disposable gloves on the little hands of Yatou and Tongtong, and let them nibble slowly. Luo Xiyun asked Xia Zekai about the dividends.
Xia Zekai spoke slowly, and Luo Xiyun finally understood what was going on. She couldn't help but sigh: "The decoration industry is very profitable."
"It's not bad, mainly because there are not many systematic decoration companies in Qicheng. In addition, after forming a large scale, the purchase volume is large. The purchase of some general consumable materials is much cheaper than individual purchase. That is, individual purchase.
As long as we bring it with us, there will be rebates from the building materials dealer."
"After the year, profits should be higher." Xia Zekai is very confident about this.
Although Capita Home Decoration is small now, it has become quite famous around Purple Jade Garden, and many people will come to it for decoration in the coming years.
As far as Xia Zekai knew, the house his second brother bought from Yang Tiande was decorated by Capita Home Decoration.
For Xia Zekai's second brother, a man like Yang Tiande must take priority. He asked Zhang Guolong to get the decoration design drawings first, and was currently communicating with Xia Yunhui and Dong Fei about the first wave of construction after the year.
After almost half an hour, the venison was almost stewed in the store. They brought it over in a large stainless steel basin and poured it into the pot. In addition, they also came with 4 green vegetables, a ring of corn, and bean flour pancakes.
Using the heat of the large pot to cook it, a layer of pancake is formed on the side of the pot. The pancakes are crispy and delicious. The two girls especially like to eat them.
After waiting for the venison to be ready, Xia Zekai started busy serving the two little sisters. Luo Xiyun ate for a while first, and when she was almost done, she said, "I'll feed them both, and you can eat some more."
It was almost eight o'clock after the meal was finished. Xia Zekai went to settle the bill. Before leaving, he bought ten more sheep hooves and packed them away.
"Boss, your venison is really good." Xia Zekai even praised it.
"Yeah, thank you brother for taking care of the business. I'll give you a discount if you come back again in the future." After the woman just settled the account, she gave Xia Zekai a business card and two coupons.
The next morning, after Xia Zekai dropped off Yatou and Tongtong, Litui told him that Friday, the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, would be a holiday.
Xia Zekai was in a daze, which meant that their daughters' studies at Qiyun Garden Community Kindergarten were over.
"Okay, I understand, thank you!" Xia Zekai expressed his gratitude sincerely.
After driving to Jingtong Food Factory, Xia Zekai just stopped the car and smelled a very special smell of meat. This smell is the smell of meat marinated with fennel, cumin and other ingredients.
After coming out, Xia Zekai saw a truck parked in the yard. The truck was full of bags of sausages divided into plastic bags.
Xia Zekai went over to take a look, and asked Sun Guoqiang and Wang Yewei next to him: "Is this the sausage I ordered last time? Is it ready so soon?"
"Boss, it's been half a month, and it's not too fast." Wang Yewei said.
After Sun Guoqiang finished counting, he said: "Boss, there are 68 portions in total." This was 8 portions more than originally expected, but it is understandable. 1,000 pounds of meat produces 600 pounds of sausages. This is an imaginary number. I came by experience. Six
It's possible that it's 10% or 70%.
Wang Yewei didn't say anything, he also put the two extra portions given by the owner of Longda Cold Fresh Meat Shop in it.
Although his wife was a little unhappy, doing that kind of thing just for 20 pounds of sausages was boring and not worth it.
Xia Zekai raised his hand and said: "Give it all out. Ye Wei and Lao Sun will take an extra portion of the rest. Leave half of the rest for the kitchen to cook and share with everyone. I'll take the rest."
,it works."
When Wang Yewei heard this, he quickly responded with a smile: "Thank you, boss."
"You've worked hard too. By the way, have you bought all the other things? If so, I'll give them to you together."
"Not yet, it will take two days." Wang Yewei said.
Xia Zekai nodded and said he understood. He didn't say anything.
After Sun Guoqiang and Wang Yewei finished dividing, they loaded 6 bags into Xia Zekai's car and took 3 bags from the kitchen to have a taste.
Xia Zekai was thinking about his daughter going to school.
Qiyun Kindergarten is finished here, so we need to sign up for the kindergarten over at Ziyu Garden. Xia Zekai thought that he would go there in advance and sign up for them first.
