Rebirth 1991: My Financial Era

At the end of August, Sun Chen and Zhang Xiping returned to Wucheng.

After arriving home, both Sun Renyu and Li Xinghua were at work and did not come back. Zhang Xiping went back first.

Sun Chen saw that it was still early and planned to prepare dinner. For a family of four, just prepare four dishes. After looking through the refrigerator, there was nothing he wanted to eat, so Sun Chen strolled out to buy groceries.

The vegetable market was not far away. Sun Chen bought 3 kilograms of pure short ribs and two lotus roots, preparing to stew lotus root ribs. For lotus root, you should choose pink lotus root produced in Honghu, so that it will be soft and delicious when stewed. White lotus root is better for stir-frying.

I just bought a large Wuchang fish. Seeing that the eels were relatively fresh, I bought two more pounds and asked the stall owner to kill them and bag them.

When I lived in my hometown before, before the rice was harvested in autumn, we had to dig a drainage ditch for the rice fields. There are a lot of eels here. Sun Chen often catches them and braises them himself when he comes back. This is how Sun Chen's cooking skills were developed.

Sun Chen bought another handful of water spinach and a handful of nepeta, and walked back unsteadily.

When you get home, soak the ribs in water, peel the lotus roots, cut into water chestnuts, and marinate them with salt. This will make the lotus roots soft, crispy, and fragrant. Clean the Wuchang fish and eel, and wash the water spinach and nepeta.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chef Sun started cooking. Put a little less oil in the wok, drain the water and stir-fry. Use low heat to slightly stir-fry the oil from the pork ribs until the aroma comes out. Add salt, turn over and continue to stir-fry. Then add a star anise, cinnamon and cumin. Bring the water in the stew pot to a boil, add the stir-fried pork ribs with ingredients, add the lotus roots, and simmer over low heat.

Then there are dry-roasted Wuchang fish, braised eel, stir-fried water spinach, and then cucumber with schizonepeta. Dinner is ready.

My sister Sun Ping came home first and smelled the fragrance as soon as she entered the door.

"Brother, you are good at cooking." She picked up a piece of pork ribs and said, "It smells so good. You can cook it every day from now on."

"Xiangba, can I give you a portion first?" Sun Chen said.

"Wait until my parents come back, I have to do my homework."

Sun Ping transferred from the County No. 2 Middle School to Wucheng High School. Because of her poor foundation, it is a bit difficult to study now.

"Hey, do you want me to give you some tutoring?" Sun Chen said.

"No, I'll learn on my own first." My sister wants her brother to tutor her. Do you still have the shame to tell her?

Uncle Sun Chen's mentality is that when he sees his sister, it's like seeing his daughter. I am very happy to see her study attitude is so correct.

People must have self-motivation. People without motivation will not be able to go far on the arranged path.

Sun Chen transferred to a second school in high school, and school was about to start. The old man's soul had to bear the torture of high school again, which gave him a headache.

Sun Renyu and Li Xinghua came back a little late, but they were in good spirits.

"Dad, seeing how happy you are, I'll have a drink with you tonight!" Sun Chen wanted to take the opportunity to lift his drinking ban.

"Okay, let's have a bottle of beer." Sun Renyu went to the storage room and got two bottles of Jinlongquan.

Jinlongquan Beer was later acquired by Yanjing. It is the most authentic beer among Yanjing beers. The beer in Shunyi Yanjing tastes bitter. As long as the craftsmanship of beer is the same, the taste mainly depends on the water source.

My sister still ate slowly, eating one piece at a time, and commenting on the dishes Sun Chen cooked while eating.

"Brother, your ribs are so well-cooked and tender. How do you make them? Teach me."

"Simple!" Sun Chen Balabala said again, explaining how to make each dish.

"Brother, you are now better than me. You seem to have practiced a lot, right?"

Sun Chenxin said, "I have been practicing for decades, okay?" "Yeah, it's the same as studying, the more you practice, the better."

Sun Ping gave him a hygienic eye.

"Dad, how are the preparations for the supermarket going?" Sun Chen raised his wine glass, saluted Sun Renyu, and asked.

"The soft furnishings are finished and we are now distributing goods. Yesterday we negotiated the advertising with the TV station and we will shoot a promotional video in two days." Sun Renyu drank a drink to relieve the heat. Wucheng is a furnace, and Qiuhuhu is very powerful at the moment.

"I remind you, there is so much publicity, you must prepare the goods." Sun Chen was worried.

"It's arranged, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"What are your plans after opening?" Sun Chen asked.

"Let's finish these two supermarkets first. If we bite off more than we can chew, our family still owes a lot of debt!" Sun Renyu was obsessed with stability and ran too fast, feeling unsure.

"It's okay. Let's run it for a few months first to accumulate management experience. When money becomes abundant next year, it won't be too late to expand."

"I think so too."

"But let me remind you, the supermarket thing is new, but it's not that difficult. Others can learn it in no time." Sun Chen didn't forget to stimulate him.

"It's useless to think so much. You can't finish all the business alone." Sun Renyu obviously heard what Sun Chen meant, but he still wanted to be safe.

"Mom, are you used to working in a supermarket?" Sun Chen was a little worried about his mother's working status.

"It's not bad, the work is similar to that of a processing factory." Li Xinghua said.

"Your mother is now with a team and is in charge of purchasing goods. This is quite important." Sun Renyu added.

Yes, you have to keep an eye on this job. Sun Chen was relieved.

Sun Chen drank a bottle of Jinlongquan, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Three days later, TV, radio and newspapers began airing ads for Camry Supermarket.

Five days later, Jiamei Supermarket officially opened.

Sun Renyu invited Deputy Director Wang to cut it. Deputy Director Wang was quite satisfied when he saw that his tertiary industry company had made such a big fuss and that his family's employment had been settled. He said a few words of encouragement and the ceremony was completed amidst a round of applause.

Suddenly the firecrackers went off, and the folk performance team came to perform several performances, making the sky full of gongs and drums. During the period, the emcee announced that those who went shopping in the supermarket today could win a lottery with their receipts. The first prize is a television, the second prize is a rice cooker, the third prize is a wok, and the consolation prize is a bag of rice.

When the spectators saw that they could win prizes, they immediately rushed into the supermarket in high spirits.

Jiamei Supermarket has officially opened.

In the evening, Sun Renyu and Li Xinghua came back very late, tired but excited.

"Dad, is the supermarket popular?" Sun Chen praised.

"It's popular. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise there would be a shortage, and the staff who put the goods in would be exhausted." Sun Renyu leaned on the sofa and blew a bottle of Jinlongquan.

"What's the turnover?"

"We haven't counted clearly yet, but it's estimated to be around 30,000." There was excitement in his tone.

"Two stores, or one store?"

"The expanded area of ​​the warehouse is larger, with more than 2 yuan, and the area of ​​the original shopping mall is smaller, with more than yuan."

"now it's right!"

"Congratulations, Dad!"

"Congratulations together, hahaha."

"Take a shower and go to bed early. We have to replenish goods tomorrow." Li Xinghua came over to arrange housework. She was exhausted today. Sun Renyu was only responsible for scheduling. She was the one who specifically directed the work. She had to contact the manufacturer to deliver the goods tomorrow, and the warehouse inventory was consumed too much.

"Your order..." Sun Renyu started to go to the bathroom in a dramatic tone.

"Mom, I'm so happy to see you so capable." Sun Chen said to Li Xinghua, feeling sincerely happy.

Everyone will grow, the key is to see if they can let go of their thoughts. In her previous life, Li Xinghua was just a rural woman, imprisoned in a small field, but now it seems that the seal has been lifted.

Is business and all that important? What's more important is seeing the change in family fortunes.
