Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After they finished talking about business, they started chatting.

"Zhu Zi, you two only open this one store? If there is a suitable store this time, you two can open another store!" Lou Xiao'e looked at Sha Zhu and seduced him.

"Come on! This is just one store, and I feel like we have already sold it to him. If he opens another one, my whole family will have to live in the store!" Sha Zhu shook his head like a rattle and directly rejected the proposal.

"Don't you have any apprentices? Didn't Ma Hua become a master? Can't you find a few more apprentices? As long as there are a few more people like Ma Hua, it won't be a big deal to open another restaurant!"

Liu Qingshan actually agreed with Lou Xiao'e's suggestion. At Shazhu's Ho Kee Restaurant, it is basically Ma Hua who is running the kitchen alone.

"That's right. If it really doesn't work, you can learn from Qingshan and open a shabu-shabu hotpot restaurant like this. Once you choose a manager, you don't have to worry about anything else!" Lou Xiao'e said.

In fact, Sha Zhu never had any big ambitions, and now that he is not short of money, he has even less drive to make progress.

Tian Xiuyun looked at Sha Zhu and pointed at him to make a decision!

Shazhu's eyes rolled around but he didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's talk about this later! If his third son can become an apprentice, we can let him open a shop by himself." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Yes, let's wait for the third brother to become a disciple. We'll talk about it then!" Sha Zhu quickly followed.

Seeing Sha Zhu like this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head.

"Qingshan, where is your third son? I didn't see him the last time I came back, and I didn't see him this time either. Where did you arrange for him to go?" Lou Xiao'e asked puzzledly.

"The third child of his family was sent to the army two years ago, and eldest brother Feng Yu took him away directly." Before Liu Qingshan could say anything, Sha Zhu said it first.

"So you two are much more relaxed now, with only a little girl still at home?"

"Xixi is no different from being at home now. Her clothes and other things are still in her room, and she comes home for dinner every day!"

"She's already started a family, so you don't have to take care of her anymore." Lou Xiao'e felt a little bitter as she watched the four people becoming more and more relaxed.

"Xiao E, do you know what kind of soldier his third son was?" Sha Zhu asked with a proud look on his face.

"How could I know!"

"Hehe, I used to be an arts soldier, and now I'm learning acting!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Xiao San is learning acting? That's strange!"

"My sister-in-law saw that he had a talent for acting, so she put him in the art troupe. Now he is learning voice, stage appearance and performance from my sister-in-law!" Feng Yu couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

"When will he be discharged from the army? When he comes back, come with me to Hong Kong. My cousin knows some directors, and I will take him to act in movies then." Lou Xiao'e clapped her hands and said happily.

"Let's talk about it in two years. Now he has only learned half of it. At least he should lay a solid foundation!" Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry for the moment. The third brother's temper was unstable, so it would be a good thing for him to spend more time in the army.

There are too many temptations in the entertainment industry, and there is no benefit in letting him in too early.

"What do you know? To lay the foundation, you have to go to Hong Kong first and play more small roles with the crew. Slowly, you will gain experience." Lou Xiao'e knew a little about this and explained to Liu Qingshan.

"Let's wait for him to retire! He can't be a deserter!" Liu Qingshan did not refuse again. Lou Xiao'e's suggestion was indeed very good. If Xiao San really had this luck, he couldn't always stop her.

The few of them chatted until very late, and only dispersed when most of the customers in the store had left.

When Feng Yu got home that night, he asked Liu Qingshan excitedly, "Does Yu Hao really have a chance to act in a movie? Is it a movie in Hong Kong?"

"It depends on him! This road is not so easy. Don't think that Sister Xiao'e and we have a good relationship. In fact, people in Hong Kong look down on us." Liu Qingshan sighed quietly.

"Was it like this when Sister Xiao'e first went there?" Feng Yu asked in surprise.

"About the same. The conditions there are much better than here. Compared to them, our annual salary is not as much as their monthly salary. And the rich people there basically go abroad frequently."

Liu Qingshan knew that these gaps would continue to narrow, but the concept would not change for many years.

"We really can't compare with them. It's really not easy for us to go abroad now."

"In fact, Hong Kong is not a very big place. The whole of Hong Kong is not even one tenth the size of our city! The places where the common people live are not very big either. Some families of several people squeeze into a rented house of a few square meters!"

"Is the place so valuable? Do they have a large population?"

"A lot. The economy there is developed, so many people have immigrated there. Quite a few have sneaked there as well," Liu Qingshan explained.

"Will it be very chaotic there? Otherwise, it's better not to let the third brother go there!" Lou Xiao'e heard that there were a lot of people sneaking over there, and it seemed quite chaotic over there.

"There are quite a few gangs, but nothing should happen! The Lou family is doing quite a big business there, so nothing serious should happen." Liu Qingshan was a little unsure. Hong Kong at that time was a place where all kinds of people mixed together.

The next day, Liu Qingshan found an acquaintance and went to several places to look for storefronts.

After searching for a long time, he found two old shops in Xidan that were for sale. Liu Qingshan liked them at first sight and started negotiating the price right away.

By the time Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu found out, Liu Qingshan had already taken over both shops.

"What are you doing? Didn't we agree that the factory would buy this house?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"I think the price is right, so I'll buy it first. You two can go over and take a look later. I'll give it to you if you choose one, right?"

Liu Qingshan didn't really care, mainly because he had found an old shop in Wangfujing that was willing to sell, so it would be a good idea to buy this one and then buy that one.

"That's fine, let's go take a look together later!"

In one afternoon, Lou Xiao'e went to two stores and compared them carefully. In the end, she chose the store in Xidan.

The main reason is that the store in Xidan is larger and more suitable as a future flagship store.

Liu Qingshan was also very happy and transferred the money to her directly at the original price.

However, Liu Qingshan went to Wangfujing again the next day, spent a little more money, and bought a larger old shop.

Liu Qingshan found that he was like a hamster now, wanting to buy every house he saw. This might be the obsession he had as a house slave in his previous life.

Liu Qingshan had just taken over the shop when Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e found out about it within a day.

In the evening, several people took Liu Qingshan to the restaurant.

"Why are you still buying it? Do you still have money now?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"Yes, my stores are doing good business. I still have some money on hand!" Liu Qingshan was indeed not well off. After buying these two stores, his pockets were almost empty.

"Is buying a shop really more reliable than holding gold in your hand? Otherwise, I will..."

Shazhu was also getting restless.
