Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

These people were not stupid. Yan Jiekuang taught them two or three times, and after practice, they began to get the hang of it. By three o'clock in the afternoon, the fried melon seeds basically met Yan Jiekuang's standards. After the melon seeds cooled, they were sent to the packaging team. The melon seeds were packaged in three weights: 150 grams, 250 grams, and 500 grams.

Lou Xiao'e ate the melon seeds that had just come out of the pot, looked at the busy workers in the workshop, and asked, "Yan Jiekuang, how are you going to sell these melon seeds and peanuts?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Zihui's second brother helped a lot. Half-pound and one-pound packages were sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Three-ounce packages were sent to movie theaters. The first batch of 100 pounds of melon seeds and 100 pounds of peanuts are trial products. Let's test the waters first and see the feedback from outside. If it's good, we'll continue to use the current formula. If not, we'll try another formula."

Lou Xiaoe replied, "I think the taste of these melon seeds and peanuts is good." Then she asked, "Have you ever thought about selling the melon seeds and peanuts to other places?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "We will consider other places after we open up the sales channels in Sijiu City. But I have confidence in the products produced by our company!"

In fact, Yan Jiekuang had never expected the supply and marketing cooperatives to help him open up sales channels from the beginning. Instead, he placed his hopes on movie theaters. However, just as Yan Jiekuang expected, Wan Chai fried peanuts and Wan Chai fried melon seeds were indeed sold in movie theaters.

As time went by, after more than a month of word of mouth, the Wan Chai series of fried melon seeds and fried peanuts were recognized by the people of the city. From the initial daily sales of 100 to 200 kilograms, the daily sales reached more than 1,000 kilograms a month later.

At the end of August, No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

Early in the morning, He Yuzhu washed up and walked into the kitchen. Just as he sat down at the table and took the bowl handed to him by his stepmother, he saw He Daqing looking unhappy. He Yuzhu put down the bowl and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?! You look so gloomy so early in the morning, who are you showing it to?! Who has offended you?!"

He Daqing glared at He Yuzhu and asked, "How long has it been since the rain came?!"

"Oh?! It's been a while. Let me calculate?!" He Yuzhu blinked a few times and said, "I estimate that I haven't had my period for more than a month." After hesitating for a few seconds, He Yuzhu took a steamed bun, put a piece of pickled vegetables in the bun with chopsticks, stood up and said, "You guys take your time to eat. I'll go to Yushui's house." After that, He Yuzhu turned and walked out of the kitchen.

"Where are you going?!" When He Yuzhu was pushing his bicycle, Liu Lan just came out of the house. Seeing He Yuzhu with a steamed bun in his mouth, she asked casually.

He Yuzhu said, "Go and have dinner! I have something to do so I'll leave first. I'll let Yuexian take you to the factory later." After that, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle out in a hurry.

When He Yuzhu's back disappeared at the entrance of the middle courtyard, Liu Lan sighed and muttered, "You are so old, why are you still so impetuous?!" Then Liu Lan walked into the kitchen and asked, "Dad, do you know where Zhuzi went?!"

He Daqing said, "It has been a while since the rain came. He went to see his sister."

When Liu Lan heard that He Yuzhu went to He Yushui, she stopped asking questions.

More than half an hour later, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the bottom of the tube building where He Yushui lived. He Yuzhu locked his bicycle and was about to go upstairs when he saw He Yushui coming down with a basket of vegetables. He Yushui also saw He Yuzhu at this time. He Yushui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Brother, why are you here?!"

He Yuzhu said directly: "You haven't been home for so long. I have to come and see you! " Then he asked: "Is everything okay at home? "

He Yushui replied, "Nothing! Jianguo went on a business trip a while ago. I'm the only one at home, and I have to work and take care of the children. So I don't have time to go back."

He Yuzhu said, "Jianguo is on a business trip, why don't you go home and live? The child is under the care of Aunt Li, what else are you worried about?!"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Okay! When Jianguo goes on a business trip in the future, I will take the children back with me."

He Yuzhu said, "Starting next month, your sister-in-law and I will both take unpaid leave. We will open a restaurant together with Yan Jiekuang. If you are too busy with your work, why not take unpaid leave as well and work with your brother for a few months."

He Yushui said, "It's a big deal to put him on leave without pay. I'll discuss it with Jianguo later. I'm working the night shift this Saturday. I'll take the kids home on Sunday."

"Okay! Remember to go back early. Also, don't try to handle things alone in the future. I'm your brother!" He Yuzhu unlocked his bicycle and said, "I'm going to work!"

He Yushui watched He Yuzhu's back gradually go away, thinking of the past when they depended on each other, tears flowed unconsciously. He Yushui did not go to buy vegetables and turned upstairs. Li Jianguo, who was eating breakfast, saw He Yushui suddenly come back and asked: "Yushui, didn't you go to buy vegetables?! How come you are back so soon?!"

He Yushui said, "I just met my brother downstairs. I haven't been home for more than a month. He was worried that something was wrong with me, so he came to see me. My brother and Yan Jiekuang opened a restaurant together. My brother wants me to take a leave of absence and help him for a while. What do you think?!"

Li Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot of people going into business recently. The performance of your factory is not that good these days. Why don't you listen to your brother and take a leave of absence to help him for a while. If you are happy running the restaurant, then sell your workstation. Anyway, your brother won't let you suffer any loss."

He Yushui thought about it and nodded, "Okay! I'll take the kids home in a few days. I'll ask about the matter. I'm going to buy groceries." Then He Yushui went out with the basket. Li Jianguo smiled bitterly, looked at the two children beside him, and said, "Don't just stand there. Come on and eat!"

After leaving He Yushui's house, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the steel mill. After parking his bicycle, He Yuzhu went straight to the third canteen as usual. When he walked to the special seat, He Yuzhu just sat down when Liu Lan came in with his youngest son. Liu Lan asked, "Is Yushui okay?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Nothing! Jianguo was on a business trip a while ago, so she didn't have time to come. She will bring the kids over this Sunday."

"Master!" Just then Ma Hua and Fatty came over. He Yuzhu asked, "Have you two discussed it? Who will go outside with me?!"

The fat man said, "Master, we have already discussed it. Ma Hua will go out with you. I will be guarding in the cafeteria."

He Yuzhu glanced back and forth between the fat man and Ma Hua. Seeing their reactions, He Yuzhu had guessed what was going on. He Yuzhu said, "Just discuss it. Don't let this matter hurt your relationship in the future. Ma Hua, you should prepare yourself. Next month, go with me and your master's wife and brothers to apply for unpaid leave. Once it's approved, I'll take you to the restaurant to familiarize yourself with the environment."

"Hey! Master, I'll listen to you!" Ma Hua said respectfully.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and said, "Don't just stand there, go do what you need to do!"

After Ma Hua and Fatty left, Liu Lan whispered, "Zhu Zi, I think there seems to be something wrong with Fatty?!"
