Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Not long after, Xu Chunying came back and said, "I have already negotiated with Xiangxiang's mother. He can sell his black fungus to me."

Her eyes were full of excitement. "By the way, what else did you want to say just now?"

"You can also make tofu." Zhang Xiuhua has the tools ready at home. "See if anyone wants to make tofu. I'll sell the tools to them later."

Xu Chunying quickly thought of a suitable candidate, "Wang Honghua, your neighbor!"

Wang Honghua has been farming at home, and her husband Li Xingjia works at an agricultural base and only comes back occasionally.

Zhang Xiuhua also felt that Wang Honghua was very suitable. She was a woman who could endure hardships and was much more hardworking than her.

Wang Honghua learned that Zhang Xiuhua wanted to teach her how to make tofu and was willing to sell her the tools, "How can I accept this?"

"I'm not teaching you in vain. You have to sell all your tofu to me." Xu Chunying added, "Sell me two boards. If you want to make more money, make more."

Wang Honghua nodded, "No problem."

Selling it to Xu Chunying would mean having another sales channel, and only a fool would not be happy about that.

Now that she had tofu, Xu Chunying thought of two more ways to cook it: "I also want to make rice noodle skin."

This kind of thing can be made in every household, and it is also easy to operate. It is boiled with sweet potato flour. However, Wang Honghua wants to make tofu, so she may not be able to make sweet potato flour. Xu Chunying gave up directly.

"It can also sprout bean sprouts!" Xu Chunying clapped her hands. "Si Ya's mother is very good at sprouting bean sprouts. The bean sprouts she sprouts are particularly good."

Zhang Xiuhua frowned. That woman had a crooked heart. She only had her son in her eyes, not her daughter.

Xu Chunying knew that she didn't like Si Ya's mother, so she sighed, "She's not a very good person, but Douya is innocent. There's no reason for me to go against Qian."

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. Her sister-in-law was right. It was just business. Who cares whether you like it or not? She smiled and said, "It's your own business, so you have the final say!"

Xu Chunying was delighted to find so many products after just a quick search. "In fact, I can open a store myself."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Zhang Xiuhua's eyes lit up.

If she opened a supermarket in the county, her business would definitely be better than those stores. They opened their stores in remote places and were afraid of patrols before, but now the country encourages farmers to invest, so they are not afraid of inspections. She can use the money she has to buy a storefront.

She had more than 20,000 yuan in hand. The previous 30,000 yuan was the profit from the chicken farm, which had been transferred to Jidong so that he could buy the courtyard house. Of the more than 20,000 yuan, 80% was Li Jianguo's salary and extra money from reselling, and the remaining 20% ​​was from selling gala fruits and radishes.

The more Zhang Xiuhua thought about it, the better she felt that her idea was, so she asked Xu Chunying to help her find out in the county town which places would be suitable as storefronts, and preferably ones where they could sell goods.

When Xu Chunying learned of her plan, she said, "You want to find a storefront, which is a good idea, but I don't think it's reliable."

Zhang Xiuhua was not angry and motioned for her to continue.

"The only shops outside are government-owned. There are privately built houses, but they live in them themselves, so how can they sell them to you?" Xu Chunying thinks that renting a house is worse than buying one, "and you can save money."

"If I open a vegetable market, will the landlord see that I am making money and become jealous and raise the rent? If I refuse, he will take back the store and open his own. Vegetables are too easy to get!" Zhang Xiuhua spread her hands. Not to mention signing a contract, for those who do not abide by the contract, the contract is just a decoration. Some landlords are shameless and curse at the door to drive tenants away. How can they do business?

Xu Chunying had never thought of this. Thinking about it carefully, her worries were not groundless. If the business was good, she would be doing the landlord a favor. She sighed, "Then I'll help you find it."

"It doesn't matter if the place is big or small, the most important thing is to buy the house." Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to let others get the bargain after running the store with her hard work. Rather than letting others reap the benefits, she would rather not do it in the first place.

Xu Chunying nodded.

In the next few days, Zhang Xiuhua waited for Xu Chunying's result. But just as Xu Chunying guessed, such a store was really hard to find.

Public shops can still operate even if they lose money. Private self-built houses are for personal use and cannot be transferred.

Just when Zhang Xiuhua was about to give up, Xu Chunying finally found a suitable storefront. She came back excitedly and told Zhang Xiuhua, "This storefront is not on the street, but belongs to a factory."

After careful inquiry, Zhang Xiuhua learned that the storefront belonged to a sugar factory. The factory was originally very small, but later it was expanded due to good performance, and the main gate was also expanded outward. The original main gate was sealed, but the communication room next to the main gate was not demolished, but remained empty.

"The factory said we can seal the back door. We can open a new front door and hang up a sign to continue the business." Xu Chunying also explained to her, "You are afraid that the landlord will be jealous, but this house belongs to the factory, and the workers in their factory are well paid. They won't envy you."

Zhang Xiuhua thought it was feasible and asked, "How big is the message room?"

"About 20 square meters. It could be used for living."

Zhang Xiuhua hesitated for a moment. It was a little small, but the rent for a bigger room was also expensive, so she asked, "How much is it per month?"

"Fifty a month."

Zhang Xiuhua took a deep breath. It was so expensive. She had only rented a place in the mall for 21 months. This factory was so shady.

Seeing that she thought it was too expensive, Xu Chunying asked, "How about we discuss it again?"

She thought for a moment and said, "I think the factory's implicit message is that we can talk about it again?"

Zhang Xiuhua saw that she looked unnatural, "Talk?"

Xu Chunying whispered, "I guess he wants some benefits, but he just points it out in a subtle way."

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Sending money? Doesn't that count as bribery?"

No wonder the state-owned enterprise went bankrupt, they only knew how to get benefits for themselves. But if she didn't give gifts, she couldn't rent the place without the approval of the factory director. She was really afraid of the consequences. But she really hated the act of giving money.

Xu Chunying felt that it was inappropriate to give money directly, as it would be bad if others saw it. "You can make a basket, put some Gala fruit and some fungus in it, just like the gift boxes we used to make during the Chinese New Year. I think that would be great."

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Okay, isn't it a bit too little to just give this?"

"Of course we can't just give these local specialties as gifts. We have to add something else." Xu Chunying looked at the tall table in her home, on which were several bottles of wine.

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Okay, I'll put two bottles of Moutai!"

Xu Chunying asked her to take care of it, and she went home first.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Aunt Wang to help her weave a big basket, and then stuffed a lot of things into it. After everything was done, she handed it to Xu Chunying. She thought for a moment and said, "Ask if we can expand the house a little. 20 square meters is a bit small."

Xu Chunying nodded, "I'll give it a try."

Zhang Xiuhua and Xu Chunying worked together to get the basket onto the walk-behind tractor. The basket was quite big and there were a lot of things in it. I wonder if people would like it!

Zhang Xiuhua was picking fruits in the orchard, but she felt uneasy.

Zhuzhu talked to her, but she didn't hear it.

"Mom? What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "I'm fine!"

She climbed the ladder but couldn't see her sister-in-law.

It was not until the afternoon, when it was getting dark, that Yaoyao and the others had been sent home to sleep. She was alone in the woods. She only came out when she heard Xu Chunying calling her outside.

"How about it?"

Xu Chunying smiled at her through the door, "It's done! The factory manager said we can expand, but you have to find people yourself, and you have to provide the bricks."

Zhang Xiuhua frowned. She built the house and the rent went to the factory. He only thought of good things!

Unexpectedly, the next sentence made Zhang Xiuhua stunned. Xu Chunying smiled and said, "But the rent is only twenty."

Zhang Xiuhua was so happy that her eyes were full of smiles. "Then I will go sign the contract tomorrow!"

Xu Chunying nodded, "I'll go to the village to find two bricklayers for you, and we'll try to expand the house in one day!"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay!"

She has a lot of wooden boards at home. "When the time comes, just carry the boards from my house over."

After the two of them discussed the matter, Xu Chunying left first.
