Farming and reading family

He was worried that he was useless and would be a burden to his two younger brothers.

"Big Brother is very important." Gao E said seriously, "We need to sell the hot pot base to the franchisees, and Big Brother needs to be responsible for the raw materials."

Chen Qing didn't quite understand.

"At that time, we will need a large amount of peppers, Sichuan peppers and the like. If they grow well here, we will plant them here. If they don't grow well here, we will need you to look around and buy them for us." Gao E explained.

"Yeah." Chen Jie looked at his eldest brother. "This eldest brother is the best at it. None of us can do it."

Chen Qing thought about it and said: "Then I can just plant some for you, it's not a big deal."

"Why isn't it a big deal?" Chen Jie looked at his elder brother. "Raw materials are very important."

Chen Qing felt that his third brother wanted to make him feel better.

"It's ready, you can eat it now, brother, try it." Gao E saw that the food in the pot was cooked.

Chen Jie held the chopsticks and saw that his elder brother didn't move his chopsticks, so he didn't go to scoop it up first.

Seeing his brother's expression, Chen Qing had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks first, and then Chen Jie started eating.

"Mm, delicious." Chen Jie's eyes lit up. "It's better than the cold dishes in the store."

"That's because you've been eating too much cold food. It's time to change up your taste." Gao E put the bean sprouts into the pot. "Besides, this is simple and doesn't require any cooking skills. Just add water to the ingredients and cook it in the pot."

"That's great. Even if I don't have any cooking skills, I can still open a restaurant." Chen Jie instantly felt that this business was feasible.

"This is what I think. This matter cannot be rushed, but we all have to make our own plans. We must plant more peppers next year, as well as sesame seeds, peanuts and soybeans..." Gao E began to calculate.

In addition to the soup base, they can also process some ingredients, preferably unique ones, so that they can be promoted faster and not easily replaced.

While eating, the three of them listened to Gao E say that the weather was a bit cold, and the three of them were sweating profusely while eating.

"I think it's okay." Chen Qing nodded after listening to Gao E's words. "Even if the franchise fails, we still have a restaurant."

Chen Jie nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I will find a suitable shop in He County later."

"No need, we'll build one ourselves." Gao E said directly.

The three people originally wanted to buy a shop which would cost a lot of money, but Gao E simply said that they would build one themselves.

"How to build it?" Chen Ke was a little confused.

"When there was a flood before, I bought a large piece of land in He County at a low price. When Master Xie is free, we will build a house ourselves." Gao E has already made up his mind.

Chen Jie wondered how much property his second sister-in-law had.

"At that time, each of our three families will take 20% of the profits, and the remaining 40% will be put together. Whether it is for future expansion or to be put into the clan, we will discuss it later." Gao E suggested.

Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "My second brother and his wife have contributed the most to this matter. Besides, the land and the house will be yours in the future. You must have a share of them all."

"Yes." Chen Jie nodded.

He knew in his heart that this was something her second sister-in-law had come up with alone, and she could have chosen not to do it with them. This was just a way to share the benefits with them.

Gao E looked at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke didn't want to take two shares for himself, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"How about this, I'll take a share of the shop rent," Gao E suggested.

"That's fine." Chen Qing nodded.

That was the deal, and the four of them finished their hot pot and left.

After watching his eldest and third brothers leave, Chen Ke whispered, "Madam, the money for this gathering was supplemented from your property, right?"

"I used some." Gao E said with a smile, "My husband, don't worry about these things. Just study hard."

When Chen Ke heard about studying, he felt that Gao E was urging him to go to high school, so he immediately avoided the topic: "I still have something to discuss with Mr. Du and the others."

"Mr. Du is living in Qingtan Gorge now." Gao E exposed it directly.

"So I have to go there early. I may have to live there soon. If you have any questions about academic matters, you can directly ask Mr. Du." Chen Ke said seriously.

"That's a good thing." Gao E agreed. "Then, my husband, if you need anything, just let me know."

"Okay." Chen Ke agreed and left quickly.

When Chen Qing returned home, he saw his father sitting by the wall with a bowl of wine beside him. He also took a bamboo chair and sat over.

"Dad, does our family have a family tree?" Chen Qing asked casually.

"We couldn't even get enough to eat before, so where did we get the family tree?" Chen Fansheng said, looking at the eldest brother. "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"The second son said that the family is now prosperous, so he asked about this matter." Chen Qing did not say that they were planning to compile a family tree.

Chen Fansheng thought about it and said, "Hey, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten where your grandfather came from."

Chen Qing's grandfather passed away when he was very young, so he didn't have much memory of him. "Most people really don't remember after three generations."

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Chen Fansheng felt that he had to compile a family tree, otherwise, after his grandchildren passed away, no one would know who he was.

"Did the second brother ask about this?" Chen Fansheng confirmed again.

"Ah."

Chen Fansheng thought for a moment and said, "We really need to compile a family tree. When the second child graduates from high school, our family will be wealthy."

"Then I'll let my second brother do it?" Chen Qing suggested.

"Okay." Chen Fansheng nodded. "I'll prepare the names of your grandparents later, and we'll compile a family tree."

Chen Qing thought that if he started practicing from his grandfather's generation, it seemed that he could not avoid his second uncle's family.

Fortunately, my second uncle and his family are not in the village now. As long as my father doesn’t mention it, they will repair it.

Chen Fansheng felt emotional, thinking that if his brother and his family were also there, the family tree would be more complete.

Chen Jie returned home and excitedly told Lei about opening a hot pot restaurant, and Lei was also excited to hear it.

"Will our snack bar be open by then?" Lei thought that it would be very busy by then.

"That's not what I mentioned." Chen Jie forgot to ask, "Why don't you ask your second sister-in-law."

Lei thought about it and said, "Then I'll go right away."

Just as Gao E had finished packing, Lei arrived.

"Second sister-in-law." Lei came in and called out with a smile.

"Are you home?" Gao E looked at Lei. "Why didn't you come over when the third brother came before?"

"I thought the brothers were discussing something, so I wouldn't want to get involved." Lei came over to Gao E's side and asked, "The third brother said we should open a shop together?"

"Yeah." Gao E nodded. "But there's no rush. Let's just discuss it first. What are your ideas?"

"What else can I do? I just want to follow my second sister-in-law." Lei said happily, "I just want to ask if my snack bar can still be opened in the future."

"It's your snack bar, just open it if you want." Gao E wondered why Lei asked her.

"The third brother said that my second sister-in-law wants to join a franchise and sell hot pot nationwide. My snack bar is too small." Lei said with a smile.

"No matter how small it is, it's yours. You just bought the shop, why are you thinking of not opening it? Besides, you can also franchise your snack bar and then open it all over the country." Gao E said with a smile.
