To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

The broken house was worth a fortune. Butler Liu and his servants were so eager to take away all the land. They fished out the soybean paste from the jar, along with the pickled cucumbers. There were only eight sauerkraut leaves left, so Aunt Zhang washed and chopped them. She also peeled and minced the fresh pork belly and mixed it with the sauerkraut.

Heat up the lard and add the chopped green onions and fry until fragrant. Pour in the best soy sauce to bring out the unique aroma. Add a little thirteen spices to the filling, fresh green onions and then add the fried lard to make a fragrant bun filling. Of course, this filling is also very delicious for making dumplings.

While Aunt Zhang went out to get the baking pan, Xu Huizhen added a little chicken essence and oyster sauce to the bun filling and mixed well.

Wow, the aroma of this filling was so strong that it went straight to the top of my head. Aunt Zhang steamed a whole bag of buns.

Each one is white and plump, the size of an adult's fist.

The cilantro planted by Aunt Zhang in the flowerpots in the yard has grown into a bunch of juicy vegetables. Aunt Zhang did not let go of the cilantro. She washed the cucumbers and peppers and cut them into small pieces, and chopped the cilantro and green onions into fine pieces. She added sesame oil, sugar, rice vinegar and a little soy sauce to adjust the color, and it became the tiger dish that the Li family loved to eat.

Aunt Zhang was mixing the pickles while calculating, "Madam, look, there's plenty of food available these days. Let's take the steamed buns on the train and eat them with pickled cucumbers. They'll taste really good. We bought second-class seats, so we can go to the dining car and give the chef some money. We can eat hot steamed buns. I heard from Lao Liu that the food on the dining car is expensive and tastes terrible. A set meal costs more than a braised pork elbow from Tianfulou."

Xu Huizhen: "Aunt Zhang, go to Tianfulou and buy some braised beef elbow. It will keep you from feeling homesick and getting angry after you're full."

Aunt Zhang wanted to slap herself. She shouldn't have mentioned the braised pork elbow from Tianfulou. The lady was good in every way except that she spent too much money. Aunt Zhang was now worried about whether Li Jiaguang could make money or not.

A group of people walked into Peking Station. The ticket checking for second-class and first-class seats was in the same place, and the seats were spacious, bright and soft.

The third-class seats were in the ticket checking hall, where rows of long, hardwood benches were packed with people, leaving no room for even a foot.

The Li family members, carrying large and small bags, checked their tickets and boarded the train through the special lounge. At this time, it was clear that they were divided into different classes, and first-class and second-class seats were given priority.

After all the first- and second-class passengers had boarded the train, a large group of third-class passengers were allowed into the waiting room.

The Li family ate and drank on the train until they arrived in Jinling, where they bought new tickets and took two days to finally reach Shanghai.

Even though they were traveling in first- and second-class seats, they were still exhausted. When they arrived in Shanghai, Butler Liu found a boatman and bought an ordinary Shikumen house in the French Concession, which was more than 200 square meters. The price was also very good, spending a total of 20,000 yuan.

Li Wenting and Xu Huizhen were not idle at all. They made a lot of money by trading stocks and futures in Shanghai. With the help of the system to gather information, Li Wenting and Xu Huizhen followed the four major families and made money quietly.

I earned more than one million yuan in Shanghai in one year.

This made housekeeper Liu happy. He knew that his master and his wife were making a lot of money. He no longer had to be stingy at home and complain about the servants who were eating up the boss's wealth.

"You're young, you need to eat more to grow healthy. The boss and his wife have been going to the stock exchange every day lately, so you have to protect them well. You have to be worthy of those delicious snacks (a Northeastern dialect term for delicious food) at the critical moment. It's a matter of time before you can use them."

The servants were all stunned. They thought Housekeeper Liu must have taken the wrong medicine. He had been getting more gentle these days, and now he had suddenly become so generous. Who could believe it?

Money is a person's courage. Knowing that the boss is making money, the group of people are willing to go to the barber shop for a haircut, and they can also go to the breakfast shop for breakfast. Li Wenting also raised the salary of Liu the housekeeper to 30 yuan a month, which is definitely a high salary in those days. The others each made 15 yuan a month.

This is an enviable profession. Nowadays, no gold scroll or legal tender is as strong as the dollar. The boss who gives the dollar is a top-notch boss.

During the war years, the Magic City experienced a perverse prosperity.

Li Wenting sent housekeeper Liu to Hong Kong Island, intending to take advantage of the low land prices to buy a few plots of land and keep them there. Even if he didn't work hard to become a landlord in the future, it would still be quite comfortable.

Three months later, Butler Liu brought back six or seven land deeds, all of which were large plots of land. When Li Wenting saw the locations, he couldn't help but admire this old man. Look at how the land he bought is so suitable for the boss's taste?

All of them are land in prime locations such as Kowloon, Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok.

It’s really worth it to buy so much land for 200,000 yuan.

After a few days of rest, Butler Liu was sent by Li Wenting to Rongcheng to buy a house. This time, he not only had to buy a house, but also had to find a suitable shop.

Arriving in Rongcheng, Butler Liu went around looking for houses and land. After careful selection, he finally found several satisfactory houses and a shop with an excellent location.

The house is spacious and bright, with exquisite decoration; the shop is located in a bustling commercial street with a constant flow of people and huge potential.

Butler Liu was secretly delighted. This mission had been accomplished brilliantly. He believed that these properties and shops would bring more wealth and opportunities to the Li family.

Li Wenting really doesn't want to go to the mountain city now. It's really annoying to have Japanese planes dropping bombs over his head every day.

You should sell your house in Shanghai quickly while it’s still valuable.

Li Wenting found a real estate agent and listed the house for sale with him for 26,000 yuan. Finally, a wealthy man from Jiangsu Province took a fancy to Li Wenting's house and sold it to him for 24,000 yuan.

The small courtyard that Butler Liu bought in Rongcheng was quite beautiful. It only cost 3,000 taels of silver for a small courtyard with 26 rooms. The shop cost 8,000 taels of silver.

It's impossible for so many people to just sit at home and stare at each other. Hot pot restaurants in places like this still have business.

People in Sichuan and Chongqing love spicy food. After deducting expenses, Li's hot pot restaurant can still make one or two hundred yuan a month.

Li Wenting maintains the creed of small profits but quick turnover, and the business of Li's hotpot restaurant is getting better and better.

As time went by, the reputation of Li's Hot Pot Restaurant grew, attracting many diners to come and taste it. Seeing this, Li Wenting decided to expand the store and open several more branches.

He hired experienced chefs and managers, and focused on the quality of ingredients and service. Soon, new stores opened one after another, and business was booming.

However, success also attracted the jealousy of competitors. Some began to maliciously slander Li's hot pot restaurant and even deliberately tampered with the food.

Faced with challenges, Li Wenting did not back down, but responded proactively, strengthening internal management, improving employee quality, and cooperating with the police to combat illegal activities.

In the end, Li's Hotpot Restaurant overcame difficulties with its good reputation and solid strength and became a leader in the Rongcheng hotpot industry.

Li Wenting was thinking about how to survive the next few years, but he was almost angered to death by Li Chunxing.
