Farming and Bend the National Husband

The two walked around the hall for a while, then went back upstairs again.

Zhao Zezhong and Huang Pinzhang continued to process the pile of documents, Xia Jiusheng had nothing to do, so he sat on the other side and played with his mobile phone.

It was only at this time that he discovered that Zhao Zezhong's information on the Internet was very complete, including his photo and his family background.Not only is he one of the directors of the Echo Group founded by Zhao Mingkang, but he also established an Echo Investment Company with an annual income of more than one billion. Only an idiot like himself knows nothing.

When I went to see him again at this time, I found that Zhao Zezhong was very rigorous and serious in his work, apart from acting funny in front of him.

Some people say that serious men are the most charming, but this didn't make him feel better, but made him feel a little more strange.

Is this Zhao Zezhong still that stupid big guy who let him beat and scold him?

What I know is just a side of Zhao Zezhong, right?So what is the real him like?Xia Jiusheng sat there thinking blankly.

"What are you thinking about? So engrossed." A voice interrupted his cranky thoughts.

Xia Jiusheng was shocked and saw Zhao Zezhong sitting next to him. Uncle Huang had disappeared. He came to his senses and asked, "Is everything done?"

"Okay." Zhao Zezhong stretched his waist and smiled easily.

In his memory, Xia Jiusheng has always been a boy with exuberant energy and a strong personality. When confused.

"Tired?" Zhao Zezhong asked.

He faintly understood that under Xia Jiusheng's strong surface, his heart was actually not strong. It was only because his family had been struggling and his parents were not enough to support a family with two sick patients, so he had no choice but to be strong. Shoulders, hold up a sky for the family.

Suddenly there was an urge to hug him into his arms and prop up his world for him.

"No." Xia Jiusheng stood up, looked at Zhao Zezhong and smiled unnaturally.

"It's fine if you're not tired, then let's go back, it's past three o'clock." Zhao Zezhong patted Xia Jiusheng on the shoulder, and he had forgotten the thoughts just now.

Xia Jiusheng nodded, and the two went downstairs and entered Zhao Zezhong's special garage.

There were four cars parked inside, three of which Xia Jiusheng knew well, the Audi when he first met him, the Audi a8 that he lent to his cousin-in-law last time, and the seven-seater off-road vehicle that he drove just now. It can be seen that it is a dark red sports car.

Zhao Zezhong took out the car key, pressed the switch, and the car started. He handed the key to Xia Jiusheng. Seeing Xia Jiusheng get into the cab, he asked, "Is it okay to drive alone?"

"It's okay." Xia Jiusheng shook his hand.Like all novices, by this time he was obsessed with driving a car alone, and the rest was on the back of his mind.

Zhao Zezhong returned to his car amusedly. When Xia Jiusheng saw the car, he became a different person, like a child seeing his favorite toy.

The two started the engine, and the car left the National University one after the other and drove towards Xiajiazhuang.

Passing Zhangtang Town, the two went to the town to pick up their younger brother.

Seeing that it was still early, I thought about it and went to my cousin's shop on the street.

Xia Jiuqiang was in the shop right now, bargaining with a regular customer.

Her husband Fang Bacon and his father-in-law are both traditional carpenters, so most of the furniture in the store is made of solid wood, and the cost is naturally not low. There are not so many carvings. The price of these furniture is generally not low in big cities. The cost of living in Zhangtang Town is low, so it is also cheap to sell.But this regular customer actually counter-offered a set of long solid wood tables and chairs to 1000 yuan, which Xia Jiuqiang couldn't accept.

Although this set of tables and chairs is not made of imported oak, the cost plus labor will cost thousands, so she insisted on fifteen thousand.

Seeing Xia Jiusheng and Zhao Zezhong coming in, her eyes lit up, leaving behind the regular visitor, she hurried up to meet them.

"Xiao Zhao, Yang Yang, why do you come to my sister's shop when you have time?" Xia Jiuqiang asked them to sit on a wooden sofa with cushions, skillfully brewed two cups of emerald green tea, and asked with a smile.

"I went to Yucheng just now, and I want to pick An An back, so I can come and see you." Xia Jiusheng stood up and looked at the familiar shop, and replied.

When he was in high school, he often came to his cousin to eat the dishes cooked by her. After graduation, he left Zhangtang and had no time to come. Seeing that the inside has not changed much, he asked, "Is the business good?"

"It's still the same." Xia Jiuqiang sighed. Zhangtang is a small place with limited purchasing power. This kind of traditional solid wood furniture is expensive and troublesome to process, so the price has no advantage, unlike the wood-based furniture that is all mechanized. Processed, the cost is much lower.

"A furniture store like yours will only have more and more difficulty in surviving in the future." Zhao Zezhong also stood up, touched those rough-made pure wooden tables and chairs, and said. "Since you stick to the traditional processing method and use mortise and tenon structures instead of nails, why don't you make some high-end furniture?"

"We also think about it. But to make high-end furniture, we must use high-quality wood. This is a huge burden for a small shop like ours. Even if we can afford wood, we are afraid that it will not be sold after it is made into furniture. !" Xia Jiuqiang and Mrs. Fang had discussed this matter a long time ago, but if they wanted to transform, they would have to invest at least a million, which made them retreat.

"This is a realistic problem." Zhao Zezhong nodded clearly, and said lightly. "I have a very good idea. Next year, our National Congress will open a new branch in Yongcheng. The guest rooms need a lot of furniture. As long as you can make the style and quality I want, we will cover the products."

"Really?" Xia Jiuqiang was stunned by the huge surprise that suddenly fell. She looked at Zhao Zezhong in disbelief, then at Xia Jiusheng, and finally at her cousin, wanting to get something from his mouth. Confirmed answer.

"Real or fake? Don't fool my sister!" Xia Jiusheng turned around and gave Zhao Zezhong a look, and asked.

"Of course it is true. If your funds are tight, I can pay you a part of the money in advance so that you can buy some good wood." Zhao Zezhong shrugged indifferently.

To him, this was too small a matter, so he agreed on the spot.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao." Xia Jiuqiang was so excited that he could not speak coherently, so he could only repeat: "Thank you, thank you so much."

"It's okay, sister, anyway, he doesn't buy yours, he wants to buy other's." Xia Jiusheng comforted.

"I know, but for us, this opportunity is really rare." Xia Jiuqiang wiped his eyes with a tissue.

This store has been open for so long, and it looks like it can still be maintained. In fact, she has already felt the crisis, but her ability and funds are limited, and she can't do anything if she wants to transform. Excited.

"If you only rely on your husband and father-in-law to do it, the amount will be too small. It will not make money, but it will also delay the progress of our hotel." Zhao Zezhong reminded again: "You better open a factory and recruit a few bosses. Carpenters, increasing the yield and quality of furniture."

"That's no problem." Xia Jiuqiang replied quickly.There are still some carpenters in the countryside, and they are willing to do it as long as the wages are right.

"Also, you don't have to worry about the future sales. We have a large number of well-decorated houses under Yixue Real Estate, and we also need a lot of high-end furniture, as long as you can make it."

"Thank you Xiao Zhao, I understand." Xia Jiuqiang listened, as if eating a ginseng fruit, feeling comfortable from head to toe.

If they can hook up with Zhao Zezhong and Yixuo Real Estate, they will have a better life in the future. In Yucheng, how many people want to be close to Yixuan Real Estate.

Who doesn't know that Echo Real Estate is the largest real estate company in China, and the most high-end real estate in Yucheng is all owned by their company.

"Sit down, I'll go to the nearby fruit shop to buy some fruit." Xia Jiuqiang was in a hurry there for a while, and suddenly remembered how rude it was to entertain her cousin and Zhao Zezhong with a cup of tea, and hurriedly opened the drawer, took out her wallet and said.

"Sister, don't go, we'll be leaving in a while, how about going to pick up An'an?" Xia Jiusheng stopped the flustered cousin. "You should discuss this matter with your brother-in-law. After all, NUS has requirements for furniture. See if there is any problem with your brother-in-law?"

"Oh." Xia Jiuqiang calmed down a lot after being reminded by her cousin, and hurried to the side to call her husband.

Zhao Zezhong took out his mobile phone, found out the phone number of the new person in charge of the Yongcheng Guoda branch, sent him a message, and asked Jiusheng for the address and phone number of Xia Jiuqiang's house, and explained the matter together.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xia Jiusheng and Zhao Zezhong stood up and left the cousin's shop.

"Why did you help my sister?" When the two were waiting for An An at the gate of the small town, Xia Jiusheng leaned against the car door expressionlessly, with his hands folded in his trouser pockets, looking down at his feet, and the toes made a stroke on the ground. Another circle, did not go to see Zhao Zezhong, asked a stupid question?

He himself didn't know why he asked such a question, and what kind of answer he wanted to hear, maybe he just suddenly became stupid.

But he wanted to hear a result from Zhao Zezhong's mouth.

"Because she's your sister?" Zhao Zezhong felt that Xia Jiusheng was fun like this. He was not as strong and shrewd as before, but more ignorant than a boy of this age. His eyes were covered by long eyelashes, which was also He covered up his emotions well.

"Oh." The answer was very general, and he was not very satisfied.

So what kind of answer do you want to hear?he asked himself.

"What? Are you not satisfied with this answer? That's why you're not happy?" When Xia Jiusheng didn't arm himself with a protective shell, it was actually easy to see through his mind.

"No." Xia Jiusheng replied forcefully.

"Because she is your sister!" Zhao Zezhong said it again, deliberately emphasizing "you", hoping he could understand.

"I see." Xia Jiusheng took a step forward a little irritatedly, and grabbed his short brush-like hair vigorously. The sudden surge of emotions made him a little uncontrollable. He stared straight ahead, his eyes Dry and uncomfortable.

"Yangyang." Zhao Zezhong walked over and put his arms around his shoulders. He seemed to understand Xia Jiusheng's sudden mood swings, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

From the moment he knew his identity, something was wrong with Xia Jiusheng. He could understand that an ordinary person would feel uncomfortable for a while when he knew that the friends around him had special identities, but Xia Jiusheng's problem didn't seem to be here.

But he doesn't know what to do?

Although he is 23 years old, he has never been in a relationship. His family arranged a fiancée for him early on. She is the granddaughter of Grandpa Li, an old friend of his grandfather. Her name is Li Qiaowei. She was born in the same year as him. The two grew up together. They can be called childhood sweethearts. , but he neither liked nor disliked this marriage.

After meeting Xia Jiusheng, he thought he was fun at first, but after getting along for a long time, he gradually regarded him as a friend, willing to take care of him like an older brother, accommodate him, and treat him well.And now I feel happy and relaxed being with him, but I never thought that I would live with Xia Jiusheng for the rest of my life.

He knew Xia Jiusheng's sexual orientation, and he could feel that Xia Jiusheng's feelings for him were changing, but his identity just made him understand that he couldn't give Xia Jiusheng what he wanted.

This made him even more distressed.

A bell rang, and the iron gate of the small town opened from inside, and the children rushed out from inside with a coaxing sound, and the chirping sound drew Xia Jiusheng's attention back.

Xia Jiusheng pushed Zhao Zezhong away from the hand that was holding him, and he regained his composure. He smiled and said to Zhao Zezhong: "I'm fine, An'an is coming out soon."

"Yeah." Seeing Xia Jiusheng put on his protective shell again, showing a bright smile, Zhao Zezhong was sad and relieved, and nodded in response.

※※※

After An An and Zhao Zezhong fell asleep at night, Xia Jiusheng entered the space.

The brightness of the space was almost the same as the cloudy sky outside. Xia Jiusheng couldn't figure out how those plants grew without the sun and photosynthesis inside.

Now when I enter the space every day, the most important thing is to pick up eggs and observe the jars of wine.

A few days passed, and the fermentation of the wine was complete. He filtered out the grape marc and put the wine into a wine jar. He only needs to clarify the wine again tonight before it can be divided into bottles for aging.

The wine jar is made of pottery, and the turbidity under it is invisible to ordinary people. Xia Jiusheng has strong mental power, so it is not difficult for him.

He found a thin rubber tube, put one end into the jar, took a sip from the other end, and the wine flowed out, and he sucked the wine into the empty jar.

When the wine entered his mouth, it was very fragrant, and after adding rock sugar, it was also very sweet. Anyway, Xia Jiusheng likes this kind of fragrant and sweet taste, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to drink, so he can't tell whether it is a good wine or a bad wine.

When the top of the wine was almost clear, he pulled out the pipe and went to drink another jar of wine.In the end, a total of four jars of wine were smoked.He knew that the wine jug was filled with twenty catties, that is to say, eighty catties of wine had been brewed.

Satisfied, he sealed the jar with the zongzi leaves, and then sealed it with plastic wrap, so that it could be preserved for a longer time.

There are already more than a basket of eggs in the space, Zhao Zezhong will go home in a few days, maybe you can give him some eggs.

Thinking of this problem, Xia Jiusheng thought about other things that can be given away. Fish is actually fine. Loach and eel are not a big problem, and chickens are also fine. You can also send a few. If the wine tastes good, you can also send a jar. In fact, there are many things that can be sent.
