The Story of a Plane Merchant Selling a House

Tutu stood at the door and looked at the restaurant's facade. After thinking for a while, he decided to complete the business procedures and just bring his business partners to eat here in the future.

The first of the four chefs was a female chef in her thirties, who looked very capable and was a Shandong cuisine chef.

Tutu's taste is still very much in favor of Shandong cuisine. After trying a few dishes, Tutu agreed to let her stay.

Three or four days later, the remaining three chefs and their assistants arrived. All three were young men under 30 years old.

Everyone had no objection to the chef's work location, so Tutu took out some wild vegetables and asked the chefs to cook with the fresh wild vegetables.

Sister Ling and Qian Youlu knew Tutu's address, so they came to pick up Tutu to attend an art exhibition and saw Tutu standing at the door of the hotel waiting for them.

"Sister Ling, Uncle Youlu, have you had lunch? Would you like to try the wild vegetable banquet? These are all-natural wild vegetables without pesticides or chemical fertilizers that we got recently." Tutu said, leaning against the car window.

Sister Ling was very interested. She had no appetite and didn't eat at noon. Even though Qian Youlu had eaten, he was ready to go down and accompany his wife to try it.

Each of the four chefs prepared two dishes, which were presented very delicately. Tutu and Lingjie each held a small bowl and tasted the food.

A steamed wild vegetable dish was very popular with Sister Ling, who ate half a plate of it herself.

Tutu has a big appetite and can eat three dishes by himself. Seeing Tutu eating, Qian Youlu also felt hungry. At their age, they only eat until they are 70% full. He can still have a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

These purely natural wild vegetables are not very big, but they taste crispy, tender, and sweet in a way that cultivated vegetables don’t.

At the end of the meal, the three of them held their bowls and sipped the wild vegetable soup.

Most of the food on the table has been eaten.

Sister Ling asked, "Tutu, are you planning to open a restaurant?"

Tutu shook his head. "Although we have a business license, we basically just bring friends to eat here, and we mainly eat at home. A chef can only make a few dozen dishes a day and then go home. We don't have a large business scope."

Qian Youlu's eyes lit up, "How many wild vegetables do you have? Can you use them all? Give some to my restaurant."

Sister Ling slapped Qian Youlu's arm and said, "Your mind is full of business."

Tutu smiled and said, "There are quite a few. A few thousand kilograms is not a problem. Uncle Youlu can take as much as he wants. It's okay. I have deliveries coming in every day."

Qian Youlu negotiated, "Can you give me a thousand kilograms? I can give you a high price. The store in Hangzhou is currently the largest, and the wild vegetables won't wilt even if they are transported so close."

Tutu agreed, "Then send someone to get it. It's in a basket."

Tutu rented a warehouse with a small cold storage in the suburbs. It was not very big and could hold everything, so it was quite messy.

This small warehouse is close to the old factory area and is relatively empty.

There were rumors that this place was going to be demolished, so no one was selling the warehouses, but the rent was very cheap.

One thousand kilograms of wild vegetables is not a lot. A large basket can hold one hundred kilograms, which is only ten baskets. The large basket is a rough wicker basket woven by the hunter's wife. It is not valuable and she can weave one in a short time.

Qian Youlu asked someone to drive to the warehouse. There was no one guarding the warehouse, so Tutu came with them to open the door. There were about 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms of wild vegetables stored in the warehouse.

Qian Youlu saw that Tutu had so much inventory and immediately wanted to order more.

Tutu was very straightforward, "Take them all. I have new ones coming in a couple of days. I can only eat as much as I want."

Qian Youlu thought that Tutu’s small restaurant was not open to the public, so he happily took all the wild vegetables away.

After settling the bill, I could actually earn more than 300,000 yuan, which is considered a stable business.

Qian Youlu agreed that next time there were wild vegetables, he would just ask the purchasing manager to come and get them.

Tutu thought about it and gave the Shandong cuisine chef’s phone number to Qian Youlu’s purchasing manager.

The Shandong cuisine chef is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and excellent working ability. Her previous employer wanted to take her with him when he went abroad, but she had children studying in China, so he didn't agree.

Her previous employer, the relative of the uncle who introduced her as a chef, had a very good opinion of her character and ability. Tutu also knew that it was difficult for a female chef to stand out in a big kitchen. Since she had such a good opinion, he might as well try to employ her.

Tutu planned to let her be in charge of managing the small kitchen, and give her the work of contacting purchasing manager Qian Youlu for delivery. Tutu would pay her a certain amount of management fees.

Tutu went to an art exhibition with Lingjie and her husband in the afternoon, which helped her expand her social circle. However, she really couldn't understand the Impressionist exhibition.

Although Qiwu had taught her some ways to appreciate ink painting, she really had no idea about Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, and Expressionism. Sister Ling took her around to talk, but she couldn't get a word in.

Seeing her confused face, Sister Ling said, "I'll ask you to come to see classical calligraphy and painting next time. We are not here to see paintings this time. We are mainly here to introduce you to a big buyer of jewelry collections."

Sister Ling pointed at the middle-aged woman in front of her, who was wearing an imperial green jade pendant as big as a date and a loose long skirt.

Tutu and Sister Ling went over to greet each other. The middle-aged woman was very kind. "Lingzi, I saw you from a distance. The Fu Lu Shou earrings you are wearing are really colorful."

Sister Ling held up the earrings with one hand, "Yeah, it really matches my skin tone, and makes me look brighter today."

Sister Ling pulled Tutu over and said, "Sister Qiong, this is my fellow villager Tutu, she makes jewelry and collectibles. I bought my bracelets and earrings from her."

Tutu followed Sister Ling's strength and came to the front, "Hello, Ms. Li Qiong, I am Qian Tu..."

Sister Qiong patted Tutu's shoulder, interrupting her reserved self-introduction, "Call me Sister Qiong. You must be Qian Youlu's fellow villager, right? I heard from Lingzi that Qian Youlu called you little aunt, but you called him Uncle Youlu, but you called Lingzi Sister Ling. Hahaha, isn't Lingzi particularly happy?"

Lingzi pouted and said, "This shows that I look young."

Sister Qiong smiled and said, "Okay, you are young, let the girl call you sister, I will also benefit from you, just call me Sister Qiong. Tutu, can I call you Tutu? I saw you as soon as you and Lingzi came in. The color of your mutton-fat jade bracelet is really nice, it is bright and white."

Sister Ling stepped forward and took Sister Qiong's arm, smiling and saying, "Let's go to Tutu's store next time. There are a lot of good things there. Let's talk about the hotel first."

Sister Ling didn't shy away from talking to Tutu. When Tutu heard them talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of investment and shares, he felt that his entire fortune was not enough for one investment. The feeling of being suddenly rich was deflated like a balloon.

It seems that the five small goals are just the entry ticket to this class. Tutu listened carefully, wanting to learn some investment and money-making skills, while counting his monthly income.
