Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

The two entered the house and saw that there were still people busy inside. Lou Hu said, "Son-in-law, why did you come here? The young lady didn't allow me to come to you, saying that she wanted to give you a surprise."

"What surprise? Didn't you apply for your return from your superiors? They called me right away. I called Xiao'e and asked her how she was going to arrange accommodation for you. She said you had already come to take care of it, so I came to take a look."

"Yes, the leader arranged for this house to be returned to the Lou family. I brought people to take a look. After so many years, some places need to be repaired and the furniture in the house needs to be replaced.

When the young lady comes back, she must not use the place that has been used by others, but this place is also a transition. The master has also instructed you to take back the yard over there when you have time. The young lady will live there in the future."

"Yes, I know. Don't worry. I need to ask someone to see what the current policy is. Do you know when the car will arrive? Let me know when the time comes. I will go with you to pick up Xiao'e. She said she needs to find a car. Have you found one?"

"Not yet. It's hard to find a car here now. They're all government-owned. Do you have any connections?"

"If you can't find it, don't look for it. Just let me know when the time comes and I'll drive one over. There's no need to bother anyone else."

"That's great. When I'm ready, where can I go to let you know?"

"Don't keep saying you, you, and yours all the time. It makes me uncomfortable. When you come home to inform me, just tell me what time the bus leaves. Don't say anything else. You can't come to my workplace, and you can't call me."

"Uncle, who is your family?"

"It's all settled. Just take the letter with you. I'll take them to see each other when Xiao'e comes back. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Son-in-law, you are this." Lou Hu said, giving a thumbs up.

Jiang Feng smiled complacently and said, "Alas, I don't have that ability. They are kind to me, so they indulge me. This is not the feudal era. I can still marry one or two wives, but I can only let one person down. I will follow me without any status or status."

Lou Hu saw that Jiang Feng was taking advantage of him, but as a servant for decades, he didn't dare to contradict the master of the house. This time, Director Lou had given him instructions that if he met his son-in-law, he had to listen to his instructions and report to him about everything. He could only do it with his consent, and must not do it without his consent.

Jiang Feng asked again about how things were in the port city, and Lou Hu also introduced that now he held the patents for the machinery, and some big businessmen from various countries were lining up with money to buy the goods, especially when CNC machinery came out, all developed countries were upgrading, especially those countries where strikes were frequent, and those capitalists would not care about the lives of the workers below.

In fact, the country has already been making preparations. Traditional machinery factories and steel rolling mills no longer recruit workers. Universities and technical secondary schools have opened new courses. Mechanical majors have been changed to CNC machinery majors. The newly built CNC machinery factories in the old city have been expanding enrollment. While completing production, they also serve as a training base for technical talents.

Anyway, once you have learned something, you will be transferred. Based on the principle of proximity, various provinces have been building new factories one after another. These people will become the backbone of the new factories. Currently, the cities with the most factories are located in coastal cities, where transportation is convenient. Currently, some of the machinery produced is for self-use and some is exported.

Jiang Feng was aware of all these things. After all, he was still the chief engineer at the head office. Although he didn't have much responsibility, he still had to attend several meetings every year. If any problems arose, he would be asked to provide guidance.

That’s all Lou Hu said. We still have to wait for the young lady to come back and tell us about the specific situation of the Lou family. The young lady also said that she wanted to give you a surprise, but the surprise is gone now, so we can’t talk about anything else.

Jiang Feng nodded, and seeing that it was almost time, he stood up and said goodbye. Lou Hu asked Jiang Feng to stay for dinner, but Jiang Feng waved his hand and said, "No hurry, wait until your young lady comes back, and I'll treat you to dinner."

Lou Hu saw Jiang Feng off the door, and Jiang Feng rode his bike towards the courtyard. When they got home, the meal was almost ready. Jiang Feng smiled awkwardly and called his two children back for dinner.

In the afternoon, I took the children to rest. I had nothing to do when I got up, so I strolled to the He family. He Yuzhu was sitting there drinking tea. Jiang Feng said, "Brother Zhuzi, have you passed the level certificate exam? Do you think you have level one now?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes. "It's not that easy. I think level 2 is no problem. If you want to go to level 1, it depends on luck. It depends on what questions are given that day. If you can express yourself freely, then there will be no problem."

"Please take some time to go there and get the certificate first. I have prepared a few courtyards for you. You can go and have a look when the time comes. You can figure out the staffing by yourself. If it is possible to open, I plan to open four at a time. The people in the kitchen will depend on you."

"Four, how much money will that cost? You don't have to go so big, just open one store at a time first."

"You don't understand. If we really want to open a restaurant, we have to compete for the market. I want it to be a big hit. First of all, I have to build up my reputation. Then, whenever people go out to eat, they will think of He's cuisine."

"Then I need to discuss this with my dad and the others. They have to step in on this matter. If so many are opened at once, some people will definitely be jealous. Someone has to be in charge of each one."

"I have thought about it. You, my uncle, Master Guo, and Master Li are all good enough to have a family each. You don't have to do anything on weekdays. The apprentices are all chefs now, so it's time for them to take over."

"Yes, I'll go over and talk about this sometime. Even if we need to do anything, it will have to wait until the beginning of next spring. There's no rush."

"Yes, you can arrange it. However, there is a job at the end of this year. The Lou family is coming back and wants you to cook two tables of Tan's dishes. They will provide the ingredients themselves. Are you sure?"

"It's hard to say. After all, we don't cook much. I don't know if you need to prepare in advance. Many dishes need to be prepared in advance."

"I told you to invite your uncle over when the time comes. He should be able to do more of these things and give you some pointers. Go talk to your uncle, and I'll let you know when the time is set."

"No problem, but the Lou family is back this time, are any of you back as well?"

"When she comes back, she will go ahead and I will pick up the car. I have already told Xiaoxue that you should not cause trouble between us." Jiang Feng looked at He Yuzhu's expression and said warningly.

"How could that be? Oh, then I'm going to cook for your second brother and sister-in-law. I have to think about this matter carefully, lest Xiaoxue blames me later. No, I have to ask Xiaoxue for her opinion on this matter."

"Get lost, what are you going to say? I won't go then. They haven't been back for many years, so they asked some old friends to build relationships. Asking you to do it means they think highly of you. Otherwise, I would directly ask my uncle, and he would definitely go."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "No, no, I didn't say I won't go, but if you want me to do a good job, at least give me some benefits, like the aged Maozi in your room, at least two bottles."

"Get lost! Do you know how much a bottle costs? An apprentice can't even afford one bottle with a month's salary. And you want two bottles? No, no more. I'll give you two ordinary bottles."

"I have the regular ones, but I just want that one. The problem is that I can't find any place to buy it. How about one bottle? I guarantee you'll be satisfied with it."

"One bottle, but I can only give it to you after it's finished. If you're not satisfied by then, don't blame me for not fulfilling my promise."

"Don't worry, you still don't trust my cooking skills, tell me the bottom line, how much do you plan to invest in opening a restaurant?"

"I don't know yet, at least this number, we'll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, the money is not short, it just depends on how big the decoration is." Jiang Feng said, and stretched out his hand.

"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand is only enough to renovate a few houses, isn't it a little too little?"

"Oh, you know all this. If you want to be high-end, you can't get a restaurant for 5."

"50, how can you have that much money? Even if you don't eat or drink, your salary for years won't be that much."

"I don't have one, but Xiao'e does. They do business there, and I have shares. After so many years, the dividends must be more than this amount."

"Is this the investment you're talking about? I'll get some dividends from it so I can feel proud of myself and avoid Yan Zi nagging me at home every day."

"What's your problem? I helped them when they left, and I still have my shares in the company. How could you invest money at that time? Do you have money? Don't you think about the fact that you still owed a lot of debts at that time?"

"Oh, so what do you mean by investment? Are you getting any returns now?"

"The investment was right in front of you at that time. Can't you see it? What do you think I just said?"

He Yuzhu thought about the conversation between the two of them just now, raised his head and said, "You mean the house? Why do you build so many yards? Although the house is valuable now, it's not much profit."

"You don't understand. Let me tell you, the Siheyuan in the Forty-Nine City will be in short supply in the future. It's best to leave these things to your children. I've also prepared one for Yu Shui. We can go and get it done together. By then, you'll have given me all her dowry, right?"

"Well, how much can it go up? Aren't houses for living?"

"It's for living. You'll know later. Anyway, you won't lose money. And it's just right for you now. Go and see if it's suitable. Then open a restaurant. Entertain the public in the front and cook private dishes in the back."

"That's right. It saves us from renting another house. Let's go and have a look when we have time. Then we can invite Yu Shui along to see where she likes and let her choose first."

"He still acts like a big brother, but you can't give up the business rooms. The house should be a little more remote. The business must be in a good location."

"Yes, I understand. Let me know when you have decided on a time so I can make arrangements."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Jiang Feng went back to the front yard slowly. She had been trying to do two things at once just now. The Jia family had completely ceased operations. Now that Qin Huairu ignored her, Jia Zhang had no choice but to rely on Bang Geng and his wife to maintain the situation. Now she didn't dare to say a word.
