Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Time passed quickly, and it was time for Chunni to go south again.

No one knew what Li Shuhua told her family, but she also boarded the train to the south with Chunni, Xiazhi and Yang Bangming.

After finally arriving in Chengdu, Chunni and her friends were unable to buy seat tickets, so they could only stand until they reached Yangcheng.

However, Chunni bought a few simple small stools, and they sat there where there were fewer people.

Taking a train in summer is the most uncomfortable thing. The crowded crowds, bare feet everywhere, the smell of sweat and feet, all mixed together, will make Chunni unforgettable for the rest of her life.

When she was most sleepy, Chunni actually fell asleep while standing at the service desk.

This time everyone was very careful, Xia Zhi and Yang Bangming took turns keeping watch, while Dong Lin stayed by his elder sister's side, not leaving her side for a single step.

That's right, Dong Lin strongly requested to go south with his brother and sister. On the premise that he promised that going south would not affect his studies, Chunni agreed and went to school to ask for half a month's leave for him.

As the old saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

It’s time to let Dong Lin experience the hardship of making money.

This means we have arrived in Guangzhou safely!

"Chun Ni, I didn't expect that just taking a train would be so difficult!" Li Shuhua squeezed through the crowded crowd with her luggage, and she was still scared after getting off the train.

"Yes! Is it easy to do anything? We farmers, facing the loess and with our backs to the sky, isn't it hard? Or are those workers who go to work every day less tired?" Xia Zhi and Yang Bangming led the way in front, and Chunni followed behind, holding Dong Lin's hand.

She continued, "Isn't there a saying that goes 'Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best?'"

She liked that passage very much: When God is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his plans frustrated. This is to make his heart move and his nature endure, and to increase his ability to do what he could not do before.

"Yes! Sun Dacai thought things were too simple. Now he is getting his comeuppance!" Li Shuhua despised Sun Dacai. She believed that not being able to make money was due to lack of ability, which was forgivable.

But he gave his wife away, and when the offer failed, he got angry and beat her up. This is a sign of bad character. This is absolutely unforgivable!

After finally getting out of the train station, Chunni and a few others discussed and decided to go to the Pearl River Hotel where they stayed last time.

This time they booked two rooms, one for the men and one for the women.

"Oh, I stink so much. Let's go back and wash up first!" Chunni really couldn't stand the smell on her body. She said hello to Yang Bangming and took Li Shuhua back to the room.

By the time everyone had packed up and left the room, it was almost dark. They had a simple breakfast nearby and went back to the room to rest.

The next day, Chunni and her friends, who were full of energy, went for brunch and then decided to go find Xue Shaohong.

Xue Shaohong was busy in the store. She was very surprised to see Chunni and others come in.

"Chun Ni, you are finally here. Why did you go back for half a year?" Xue Shaohong came over in a hurry. Seeing that this time there was a girl and a child she didn't know, she looked at them inquiringly.

"Come here, Shaohong, this is my younger sister Li Shuhua, and my younger brother Dong Lin. They are here to broaden their horizons." Chunni stepped forward and introduced.

"Dong Lin, tell your sister, did you skip school?"

Dong Lin's face flushed, and he said generously: "Teacher said that hearing is not as good as seeing, and seeing is not as good as experiencing. Therefore, I asked the teacher for leave and came to Yangcheng to learn more!"

"Wow! You know a lot at such a young age. Not bad, not bad. Now that you are here, just tell me if there are any clothes you like, and I will give them to you!" Xue Shaohong rubbed Dong Lin's furry head and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Seeing that Xue Shaohong's love for him was beyond words, Dong Lin did not refuse and accepted her kindness generously.

Xue Shaohong turned her gaze to the blushing Li Shuhua, remembering that she was just as shy as Li Shuhua when she first started her business. She immediately felt a liking for her and hurriedly pulled Li Shuhua aside, saying, "You are such a spirited young lady. Welcome, welcome."

Li Shuhua couldn't believe it. This was the big boss Chunni had mentioned, worth tens of thousands of dollars. He didn't look much older than her. How could he be so powerful?

"Comrade Xue, you are so awesome! I really admire you!" Li Shuhua made no secret of her admiration for Xue Shaohong.

"No, just so-so." Xue Shaohong felt embarrassed by the compliment, but she really liked Li Shuhua's personality, so she took Li Shuhua's hand and started talking.

"You two seem to be sympathizing with each other, but you don't even greet us." Chunni said angrily on purpose.

When Xue Shaohong heard Chunni say this, she burst into laughter.

"It's my fault, my fault. Follow me!" Xue Shaohong led a few people to the warehouse behind the store.

There were tables, chairs and benches here. She asked everyone to sit down and poured tea for them herself.

"How much goods did you import this time?" Xue Shaohong asked Chunni.

"I took out all the savings of 3000 yuan in my family, plus 2000 yuan from my cousin. Please help us choose clothes."

"Okay, I promise to get you the best quality, newest styles and best-selling clothes. But you have to wait for two days, can you wait?" Xue Shaohong had some concerns but agreed readily.

"We all believe in you." Chunni was very happy to have completed the most important mission before going south.

As he was talking, someone pushed the door open and came in. He didn't expect there were so many people in the room. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Wow. So many people?"

"Cousin!" Xue Shaohong hurriedly stood up and called for help. Then she said to everyone, "This is my cousin, Liu Chang." She also introduced Chunni and others to Liu Chang.

After some pleasantries, Liu Chang said to Xue Shaohong: "Dad has shipped the goods, so you should hurry up and get them!"

Xue Shaohong smiled instantly and said, "I'm out of stock! Uncle is really a timely help! I'll ask someone to get it right away!" She turned around and went out to ask a clerk to get the goods.

She turned around and said to Chunni: "Chunni, the goods are available. You can come and get them tomorrow." It seems that Xue Shaohong's backer is her uncle.

"By the way, your aunt asked you to come home for dinner tomorrow." Liu Chang said to Xue Shaohong, making faces.

Xue Shaohong's face fell instantly.

Her mother must have asked her to go back for a blind date. She thought that since she was successful and could make money, her family should be able to give her enough time and space. But, no, her parents were very traditional people and thought that the only way out for a girl was to get married.

She refused and fought, but couldn't change their minds.

"I got it. Let's talk about it later!" Xue Shaohong said perfunctorily.

Seeing that Xue Shaohong seemed a little unhappy, Chunni quickly changed the subject: "Shaohong, I heard that the seafood here is delicious. Let's just find a place to have a good meal at noon. You are the host, so you can find a place."

Xue Shaohong was also hungry, and thought that since Chunni and her friends had finally come here, they should have a good meal, so she wanted to take them to a restaurant she often went to. Seeing that Liu Chang was still there, she invited him to go with her.

"I won't go. I have an appointment with someone to go to Pengcheng." Liu Chang refused.

"Are you going to go and see the goods?" Xue Shaohong asked hurriedly after hearing that.

"Yeah." Liu Chang did not hide it.

"Cousin, you must take me with you next time! I love making money the most."

"Okay." Liu Chang has always loved his cousin Xue Shaohong and agreed readily.

While eating, Chunni learned that the goods Liu Chang went to Pengcheng to pick up were said to be refrigerators and color TVs produced in Japan.

Those things are extremely popular in mainland China, and many people want to buy them but can't.

Chunni doesn't have enough capital now, so even if she wants to get involved, she can't. The most important thing for her now is to accumulate capital, take her time, and not rush.

This trip to Guangzhou went very smoothly.
