Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"You two, come over here and help carry the things down."

Gu Nuan saw Gu Jiu and Chen Fei picking up their scarves and gloves and walking out the door, and hurriedly called out to them.

Fade Chen wrapped the scarf around his neck, sniffed, and said, "Sister, don't carry the things. It's so troublesome to carry them in and out in such a cold weather. After dinner, go straight to work. Brother Jiu and I will help you send these things back this afternoon."

When Gu Nuan thought about the feeling of her hands getting frozen while carrying all these things, she agreed without hesitation for two seconds.

"Okay, I'll trouble you this afternoon."

It was then that Gu Jiu noticed that there were a lot of things piled up in the corner of the office, the most eye-catching of which was the large stainless steel basin.

"Where did you get this?"

"Where can I get them from? I bought them all from street vendors. Tell me, has the world changed? There are so many good things that the supply and marketing cooperatives don't have, but the vendors got them first."

Gu Jiu rubbed his nose guiltily, put on gloves and walked out of the office first: "Let's go, go early so there are fewer people. When it's time for dinner, her restaurant will be full and you'll have to wait for a seat."

Gu Nuan quickly followed him, wrapping her scarf around her neck as she walked downstairs. "Is your restaurant doing so well? As far as I know, even state-owned restaurants don't have full seats like this."

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly: "Sister, you will know how the business is when you go there. The restaurant opened by my sister-in-law is doing extremely well. Maybe we can run into some acquaintances when we go there."

"I can even meet someone I know. It seems like you guys have done a lot of publicity for her." Gu Nuan also smiled.

Chen Fei chuckled and didn't say anything. He decided not to take credit in front of Brother Jiu.

The three of them rode two bicycles to Hongyun Restaurant, and Gu Nuan sat on the back seat of Gu Jiu's bicycle.

You don’t know, the weather is gloomy in this winter, and the howling north wind is blowing in your face. You don’t know how cold it is to ride a bicycle.

By the time the three of them arrived at the restaurant, they were frozen all over.

Lin Shu was sitting behind the counter checking the menu of items purchased today. The curtain at the door was lifted and the cashier sitting next to him stood up.

"welcome!"

"Wow! It's so cold!" Chen Fei was the first to enter the restaurant.

As soon as he came in, he took off his gloves and rubbed his almost frozen cheeks.

Lin Shu heard a familiar voice and looked up: "Why are you here?"

Having said that, he put down the account book and walked out from the counter.

Lin Shu looked at Gu Nuan who followed in and smiled at her, "What a rare guest! Why did you come with them today, elder sister?"

"I went to their company to do some work today, and when it was time for lunch, I followed them to your place for lunch. They said that your special dishes taste good, so bring a few more for lunch, our President Gu will treat us."

Gu Nuan looked like she was taking advantage of a wealthy family, which made Gu Jiu roll his eyes at her.

Lin Shu listened, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll let the people below arrange it. Do you think we should sit in the private room or the hall today?"

Gu Jiu looked at Chen Fei and Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan spoke first: "Let's just sit there."

Lin Shu looked in the direction she pointed. It was a table in the corner of the hall, surrounded by an antique fence that could prevent other guests from disturbing it.

Fade Chen was curious about why Gu Nuan chose that seat, "Sister, wouldn't it be more comfortable for us to sit in the private room?"

Gu Nuan shook her head and said, "Let's sit in the lobby today. I'll see how many guests there are when it's time for dinner."

Is it really as exaggerated as Chen Fei said?

Several people sat in a corner, and Lin Shu poured the freshly brewed hot tea for the three of them. "Order whatever you want to eat."

Gu Jiu and Chen Fei often come here to eat, and both of them let Gu Nuan, who came for the first time, order the food.

Gu Nuan was not polite either. She picked up the menu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, your restaurant's menu is so thick. How many dishes do you have to prepare?"

In state-owned restaurants, the number of dishes served each day is written directly on the blackboard. In high-end restaurants, there is a menu, which is like a greeting card.

The menu at Lin Shu Restaurant looks like a leather-bound book.

The three of them just smiled after hearing her words and waited for her next reaction.

As soon as Gu Nuan opened the menu, she realized that she was narrow-minded and thought too simply.

When you open the menu, you will see beautiful photos of every dish on offer.

No need to wait for the dishes to be served, just looking at these photos will make you hungry.

"Sister-in-law, your menu is very creative. I want to eat it just by looking at it."

"What kind of frog is this jumping frog? I only know tree frogs, frogs and toads."

"Pfft!"

Fade Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Sister, jumping frog is just the name of a dish. Any frog can jump. The frog in the restaurant is made of bullfrog."

Gu Nuan was stunned. "Bullfrog? Is it delicious?"

Gu Jiu said, "If you want to eat, just have one."

Gu Nuan nodded: "Okay, give me one. Eh? Sister-in-law, your restaurant still has beef supply, give me one of these dry pot beef ribs."

"One serving of peanuts for Chen Fei and the others to eat with their drinks, one serving of big plate chicken, and..."

Fade Chen spoke up to stop her from ordering any more. "Sister, there are only three or four of us. We have already ordered three meat dishes. One more soup and one vegetarian dish will be enough. The dishes in the restaurant are all big in portion. It's enough for us."

Lin Shu smiled and asked, "What else do you want to eat, big sister?"

"Frog counts as fish. We have ordered fish, meat and chicken, but we are missing duck. How about we order spicy duck?" Gu Nuan pointed to the picture on the menu. It looked delicious.

want to eat!

"Okay, I'll have a spoonful of white sauce with the vegetables." Gu Jiu agreed and asked the waiter next to him to place the order.

In some places, Diao Zong Bai is also called Shanghai Qing.

The tea of ​​this era is a variety that has not undergone countless improvements in later generations.

In the south, it is usually planted in late autumn and grows in the frosty winter weather. The white leaves and stems taste very sweet.

In addition, it is an unimproved variety with a long growth cycle and thick stems and leaves. It tastes good whether it is stir-fried plain or with a few dried chilies.

"What were you busy with just now?" Gu Jiu saw the waiter go downstairs to place the order, and only then did he have time to talk to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu glanced at the counter at the entrance of the restaurant and said, "Check and see if there is anything else that needs to be added to the restaurant."

"Are you done now?"

"There is no such thing as being busy or not. When I come here and have nothing to do, I'll just check around and make up for what's missing."

"Then will you have dinner with us later?" Gu Jiu looked at her with a smile.

Lin Shu nodded, turned around and asked Chen Fei and Gu Nuan: "What would you two like to drink?"

"White wine, beer, red wine, as well as milk and soda juice."

Gu Nuan shook her head: "Forget about the wine, I'll just drink some soda. See if Chen Fei and the youngest one want to drink."

Fade Chen also shook his head: "I still have to work in the afternoon, I'll drink some juice."

With his wife by his side, Gu Jiu didn't dare drink anymore and asked for a glass of milk.

"In that case, everyone should eat more food later."

People in this era don’t worry about eating too much meat and fish causing problems with their body shape. They believe that being able to eat is a blessing.

So, when the dishes were served, they really ate the meat and drank the drinks with big mouthfuls.

As the food on their table came up, more and more customers came into the restaurant.

Chen Fei pointed at the door and asked with a smile: "Sister, I didn't lie to you. Look, it's only twelve o'clock now, and there are already quite a few customers at the door."

Gu Nuan nodded, roughly counted how many groups of guests there were, and then calculated the price of the table they were eating. Gu Nuan felt envious.

They spent about eight or nine yuan on this table. At least ten tables came in just now, so that means they earned more than a hundred yuan.

Moreover, the restaurant is not completely full yet.

If you turn over the tables, it will be more. A meal is not too much, even if there are thirty tables, that would be more than three hundred yuan.

This is just the income from lunch, what about the evening meal?

How much was the income for that day?

Gu Nuan thought that her savings in the past few years had not exceeded three hundred yuan, and she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Mixed feelings.

"Little aunt!"

The restaurant's business was picking up, and Lin Shu ate a bowl of rice and got up to help at the counter.

Just after settling the bill with a table of guests, Lu Shaoming and Xie Hua walked in from outside.

Each of them carried a canvas bag that was bulging.

The reason why they called Lin Shu "Auntie" was mainly because they followed Gu Youhui.

"Hey, you're here. Just the two of you today?"

"Well, we went to set up a stall today, and business was good. We sold most of the goods before noon, so we thought about coming here for a meal and then going to the warehouse to restock in the afternoon."

"Wow, young men, your business is pretty good!" Lin Shu was happy for them and found a booth by the window for them. "You usually buy goods in the afternoon and set up a stall to sell the goods the next morning?"

After arriving in the provincial capital, except for Gu Youhui, the two of them were the young men who worked the hardest to make money that Lin Shu had ever seen, so he was naturally impressed by them.

Lu Shaoming shook his head: "It depends on how the business is. Usually we sell goods in the morning, buy goods in the afternoon, and then go out to sell goods for a few hours. We will close the stall and go home at eight o'clock in the evening."

Lin Shu looked at the two in shock, looking at them carefully as if he didn't know them, "You are the most hardworking young people I have ever seen. Even Gu Youhui didn't work as hard as you when he set up the stall."

Lu Shaoming and Xie Hua both scratched their heads embarrassedly.

Lu Shaoming said: "We can't help it. Youhui's success has stimulated us. We went to school together and skipped school together. Now he is the boss. As his classmates and brothers, we can't be too bad."

Lin Shu had a better impression of the two people. After they ordered their dishes, he also gave them a bowl of cold chicken.

"Believe in yourself, you will definitely succeed. After this batch of goods is sold out, you will have accumulated enough original bonuses to open a store and start a business."

Lu Shaoming and Xie Hua thought about the money they had earned during this period and smiled foolishly.

Lin Shu once told them that this batch of goods would be enough to sustain them for three months. After setting up stalls for a few more months, they would also learn from Gu Youhui and rent a shop to open a store.

As for what to sell in the store?

They decided to sell the goods provided by Lin Shu this time.

They had already thought of a name for the grocery store, which was Lü Xie Grocery Store or Xie Lü Grocery Store.

Lin Shu was busy at the counter helping with the checkout. After Gu Jiu and the others finished eating, Gu Nuan leaned over the counter and asked Lin Shu, "Sister-in-law, do you know those two gay men?"

Lin Shu raised his head and looked in the direction she pointed, and found Lu Shaoming and Xie Hua sitting by the window.

"They are Youhui's classmates. They once set up a stall with Youhui and we have met several times."

Gu Nuan must have seen her talking to the two of them just now, so she asked, "What's wrong? Do you know them too?"

Gu Nuan stroked her forehead and chuckled, "I bought a lot of things from them this morning. I didn't expect that the two guys selling things on the street were actually Youhui's classmates."

Bought a lot of things?

Lin Shu stared at Gu Nuan for a while before realizing what she had bought. "The things they have are of good quality and inexpensive. You'll make a profit if you buy them, sister."

It’s better not to tell her that these goods were made by her.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would regret it so much that she would go to the two young men to return the goods.

"The quality is good, otherwise I wouldn't have spent half a month's salary in just one morning."

Lin Shu: “…”

It seems that the goods wholesaled from the system mall are still quite attractive to people of this era.

After Gu Jiu and the others left, Lin Shu rode his bike back home after finishing his busy work at noon.

As soon as she entered the house, the two babies playing at home jumped on Lin Shu as soon as they saw her.

When Wang Suzhen saw that they were in Lin Shu's arms, she reached out to hug them again, but Erbao directly pushed her hand away.

Comrade Wang Suzhen was jealous. "We took care of them for a whole day at home, but they didn't show such enthusiasm towards us. As soon as you came back, they were no longer friendly to me."

Liu Xiao'e laughed and said, "Haha... Grandpa and dad are not as close as mom. Mother-in-law, you have to be open-minded. No matter how good you are to the children, they will just leave when their parents come."

Wang Suzhen also found it funny, "Yes, yes, you two are so heartless. You forgot about milk after you got a mother."

Lin Shu kissed the two children for a while, then carried them upstairs.

The two old people must be exhausted after taking care of the children for a whole day. Let them take a rest.

After returning to the room, Lin Shu first changed the two babies' diapers into disposable diapers.

The main purpose is to let the two children play on the bed. If they don’t change to diapers bought from the system mall, it will be troublesome if they pee on the bed later.

"Dabao, please watch over my sister. I'm going to the bathroom to take a hot shower. I'm freezing from riding my bike all the way. I need a shower to warm myself up."

Lin Shu first put the second baby on the inside of the bed and the first baby on the outside, and then used a quilt to block the edge of the bed to prevent the second baby from rolling to the outside and falling off the bed.

I found my clothes and took a hot shower in the bathroom, which only took about ten minutes.

Seeing the two babies playing by themselves on the bed, Lin Shu finally had time to put on another set of thick home clothes for winter.

I took off my shoes and leaned against the head of the bed, watching the two babies playing with their toys.

Dabao rolled to Lin Shu's side, and in the blink of an eye, a mobile phone appeared in his hand.

I entered the screen saver password expertly, and a dialog box popped up, where he typed, "Mom, can you take me with you next time you go out? It's too boring to stay at home and not be able to go out every day."

"It's very cold outside." Lin Shu disagreed. "You have to know that the temperature in this era is lower than in later times. Snow and freezing in winter are normal meteorological phenomena. In later times, the temperature in the provincial capital is too high, so there won't be much snow in a winter."

"What if I take you out and you catch a cold? Do you believe it? Your grandma, grandpa, grandpa and dad will all blame me for taking you out."

"Then when are you going to take me out?" Dabao typed in the dialog box again.

"Let's talk about it when the weather gets warmer." Lin Shu hugged him and kissed him on the face.

Erbao noticed Lin Shu's action and cried out in anxiety, asking Lin Shu to hold him and give him a kiss as well.

Why does her mother only hug her brother and not her?

She also asked to be hugged.

When Dabao found out that he had no chance to go out, he rolled directly onto the quilt, not wanting to compete for favor with his ignorant sister.
