Shi Yufeng lowered her head and felt uncomfortable sitting on the second floor, with guests walking around.
Shi Zhijian took the menu and looked at the dishes, while Baoer ran over to look at the live fish kept in the water tank.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you lower your head?"
"I...it's nothing." Shi Yufeng, who has always behaved aggressively, hesitated to speak. ""
Shi Zhijian took her out for dinner tonight, and she specially changed into a dress. The dress was old and ordinary, but it could not hide her proud appearance.
"I heard that in addition to working in a plastic flower factory, you also work in a restaurant. Could it be this restaurant?" Shi Zhijian seemed to be remembering something.
Shi Yufeng then raised his head and glared: "I'm asking, did you do it on purpose? You knew I was working here, so you brought me here?"
"There is really no such thing!" Shi Zhijian looked around, "But this restaurant is quite big." After saying that, Shi Zhijian waved and said: "Come here, order!"
Soon, a waitress came over. She first smiled politely at Shi Zhijian, then saw Shi Yufeng sitting there, and said in surprise: "Hey, aren't you Sister Yufeng? Why didn't you wash the dishes in the backyard today and come here instead?"
Already?"
Shi Yufeng's eyes widened, "Big Eye Ling, what do you mean by this? Am I just going to have to wash dishes in the backyard for the rest of my life and not be able to eat here?!"
"Ahem, that's not what I meant." The waitress looked embarrassed. She thought Lame Feng was so stingy that she would not be willing to come here to eat. She looked at Shi Zhijian again.
Shi Zhijian winked at her.
The waitress immediately blushed.
Shi Yufeng couldn't stand it, "He is my younger brother! Don't try to make any plans for him!"
The waitress snorted, "Why, Sister Yufeng, do you want me to introduce you to the cheapest seafood here, such as scallops-----"
"Abalone! Sea cucumber! And Tianjiu fin! Have one of them all!" Shi Zhijian dropped the menu and said before the waitress could finish.
The waitress stared.
Shi Yufeng was startled, "Are you crazy?"
"If you want to eat, of course you have to eat the best!" Shi Zhijian took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair.
The waitress looked at Shi Zhijian with a strange expression, and her tone became respectful: "Wait a moment, I will place your order right now."
"Place an order!" Shi Yufeng immediately jumped up and grabbed the menu, "Just give us one of those scallops! The scallops are very good, fat and big, and they are delicious to eat!"
The waitress rolled her eyes, "I knew you wouldn't be so generous, Sister Yufeng-----What else do you want?"
"Who says I'm not generous? Well..." Shi Yufeng gritted her teeth, "Big Eye Ling, what's the name of that thing you and Chang San often eat secretly in the kitchen - oysters, right? Have one too, I'll
I need to give the younger one some extra help! He doesn’t have enough brains, he’s so funny!”
The waitress looked at Shi Yufeng and then at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian surrendered, "Just listen to her!"
The waitress then placed the order and went to prepare the scallops and oysters.
After the waitress left, Shi Yufeng scolded Shi Zhijian: "You're a prodigal, you spend all your money as soon as you have it! You also eat abalone, Tianjiu wings, those are things only rich people eat! Even if you eat
If you can afford it, you must save money! You are the only male in our Shi family, and you will marry a wife and start a business in the future, all of which will cost money!"
After nagging for a while, Shi Yufeng said again: "Ajian, I think you have changed. You were not like this before! Although you were weak in the past, you knew how to be thrifty and never spent money lavishly."
After saying that, Shi Yufeng looked at Shi Zhijian and muttered: "If you weren't as beautiful as me, I would have thought you were a different person!"
Shi Zhijian's heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to look into Shi Yufeng's eyes, "Sister, if we change people or not, I will always be your younger brother, especially when I remember that your legs are also because of me..."
"What? How long has it been, and you still remember it!" Shi Yufeng changed the subject, "You are my younger brother, if I don't save you, how about someone else?"
Three years ago, Shi Zhijian was still studying at Kowloon City Baptist Christian College, but he offended a group of street gangsters because he failed to pay protection fees.
Those bad guys chased Shi Zhijian with knives, but Shi Yufeng chased him from the street with a kitchen knife and rescued him at the end.
Unfortunately, because Shi Yufeng was outnumbered, the hamstring of one of his legs was cut off, leaving him lame.
Even so, Shi Yufeng still limped and carried her injured brother to the hospital for treatment, thus saving Shi Zhijian's life.
"Anyway, sister, I will support you from now on!" Shi Zhijian said.
"You raise me? You raise yourself first!" Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes at the younger brother, "Besides, I have hands and feet that you don't need to raise!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Sister, let me tell you some news. I met some rich people today and am going to do business. When the business is on track, we will move away from Shek Kip Mei and you won't have to work anymore.
, stay at home and enjoy the happiness!”
"Know a rich person? There are so many rich people in Hong Kong! I also know a few, such as Boss Li of our plastic flower factory. He used to be so poor that his family had to stay at his uncle's house when they came to Hong Kong. But now
He opened two large factories in one go and became the famous 'Flower Plastic King', so Ajian, as a person, you should be down-to-earth and don't always think about soaring into the sky!"
Shi Zhijian knew that no matter how much he said, his sister wouldn't believe him, so he just shut up.
Soon, scallops, oysters and other seafood arrived.
Shi Zhijian ate heartily.
But Shi Yufeng ate with fear.
Bao'er's mouth was full of oil after eating. She had never eaten so many good things in her life.
By the time we finished eating and settled the bill, we had spent a total of forty-eight!
Shi Yufeng was immediately frightened. She didn't expect such cheap seafood to be so expensive!
She works in a plastic flower factory on Nathan Road, and she only earns over 300 yuan a month working overtime. Plus she works as a dishwasher in a hotel, which makes her 50 yuan a month, which is less than 400 yuan a month!
Eating one meal now is equivalent to washing the dishes for a month!
After careful inquiry, it turned out that in addition to scallops and oysters, their table also ordered a top-quality grouper, also called leopard grouper. That fish was extremely expensive.
Only then did Shi Yufeng realize that her daughter, Jiang Meibao, who had just gone there to look at the fish, was actually ordering something. It was ridiculous that she thought that the dish was wrong and she was taking advantage of it.
"I'm your mother...!" Shi Yufeng wanted to pick her throat and spit out what she had eaten.
The waiter who knew Shi Yufeng didn't forget to ask Shi Yufeng when they left, "Sister Yufeng, there are many guests in the hotel these days, you'd better come to work early!"
Before Shi Yufeng could answer, Shi Zhijian said: "I'm sorry, she resigned today!"
The waitress looked shocked, "Sister Yufeng, are you sure you want to resign? The job of washing dishes is very popular now!"
Shi Yufeng pushed the younger man away and said, "Believe him! I won't quit my job! Keep it for me!"
…
The lights on the road flicker.
Shi Yufeng held Jiang Meibao's hand and walked side by side with Shi Zhijian, feeling very uncomfortable.
Shi Zhijian wears a neat suit and looks extraordinary.
Shi Yufeng was lame, walking up and down, still worrying about the money for tonight's meal.
"It's time to buy clothes and eat seafood. No matter how much money you have, it's not enough to spend!" Shi Yufeng thought to herself, still complaining about Shi Zhijian's lavish spending.
Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette and knocked it on the cigarette case, but Quan pretended not to hear.
"What cigarette? Marlboro? You, sister, I only smoked Lucky Strike for one or two yuan, but you smoke such expensive cigarettes!" Shi Yufeng took the cigarette away directly, "Confiscate it! From now on, I can even give cigarettes to the foreman when I go to the factory.
We can’t always let Dakoujiu’s gang take the lead when we take action!”
Shi Zhijian was speechless.
Shi Yufeng still wanted to speak, but Bao'er broke away from her hand and ran to the department store on the side of the road. Through the glass, he looked at the blond "Barbie" wearing a small dress inside, and said with envy: "Wow, so beautiful!"
Shi Zhijian held a cigarette in his mouth, lit it with his hands, and said to Shi Yufeng: "Go in and have a look, and buy a toy for Bao'er!"
Just when Shi Yufeng was about to pout, Bao'er had already ran in and turned around to wave to her: "Mom, come here quickly!"
Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes, "Why is this girl like her brother-in-law, who only knows how to spend money!"
He immediately went up and grabbed Bao'er's little hand, "What are you buying? What's so good about this ghost toy? It has yellow hair and green eyes, just like a ghost! When your mother waits, I will save some scraps of fabric to make you a beautiful rag doll!"
Shi Zhijian was about to speak-----
"Shut up!" Shi Yufeng scolded, "If you want me to sleep well tonight, you'd better say nothing!"
…
Late at night----
Shi Yufeng and Jiang Meibao squeezed into the same bed.
Bao'er was already asleep, and she didn't know if it was because Shi Yufeng didn't buy her a doll from the department store, but she still had a look of grievance on her face.
Shi Yufeng rested her arm on her pillow, but couldn't fall asleep.
There were so many things that happened that day that she almost went crazy.
Shi Yufeng always felt that her younger brother was different now than before, but she couldn't tell what exactly was different.
There was also the two thousand yuan "huge property" that Shi Yufeng carefully hid before going to bed. First, he hid it under the bed. He was uneasy and thought it would be stolen. Then he hid it in a shoe box, but he was afraid of being bitten by mice.
, and finally just hid it close to my body in the seam pocket of my underwear, which gave me a little peace of mind.
While Shi Yufeng was thinking, Bao'er murmured: "Mom, I want to buy a rag doll, and my uncle said he would give me a rag doll." After saying this, he put his arm around Shi Yufeng and put one leg on Shi Yufeng's body.
Shi Yufeng thought she was awake, but when she looked carefully, she found that she was suffering from hysteria.
Shi Yufeng gently took Bao'er's arm away and pushed down the leg that was pressing her down. Looking at her sleeping daughter, her heart was filled with guilt.
"Mom, I won't buy it for you. A broken toy costs more than ten yuan. What a money grab!" Shi Yufeng said to herself to her daughter, and then thought of her younger brother, "This damn Ajian, spends too much and too lavishly. This won't work.
Yes, sooner or later he will be finished! Well, he is getting older, so we need to find a woman to take care of him... Axiu, who sells fish balls next door, is pretty good, has a big butt, and is easy to give birth to; Amei, the barber shop in Cuntou, can also do it
, have good figures, and are skilled in craftsmanship... They are all young ladies, worthy of our Ajian!"
Shi Yufeng turned around and couldn't sleep all night.
Next room-----
Shi Zhijian rested his hands on his head and lay on his back unable to sleep.
He has been thinking about his next investment plan.
It is impossible to keep 300,000 yuan in the bank and earn interest. Only by investing this money as soon as possible can you obtain more profits.
In this era, Hong Kong's industry and real estate industry were booming, and various industries had opportunities to make money.
But Shi Zhijian wanted to find the most profitable one.
Competition is small, the future is bright, and the key is sustainable development.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian's mind suddenly lit up. One industry stood out, and that was--instant noodles!
I remember clearly that instant noodles were invented by Momofuku Ando, a Chinese from RB, in 1958, but it was only available in RB.
It is recorded in "Hyakutomi Ando - The Advance and Retreat of the Father of Instant Noodles": Ten years after Momotou Ando invented instant noodles, that is, in 1968, real instant noodles with seasoning packets were produced by Hong Kong Yongnan Food Company
When it came out, the product was marketed as a "doll" and could be cooked in three minutes. It was quickly accepted by Hong Kong people. Not only did the company make huge profits, but "doll noodles" also became synonymous with Hong Kong people's name for instant noodles.
In other words, "doll noodles" have not yet been born, and the entire Hong Kong instant noodle market is completely blank!
As for how profitable instant noodles are, anyone who has been there will know.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian's blood was boiling and he almost jumped out of bed.
