Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Yang had previously built a kang (heated brick bed) in the warehouse outside, and this room can accommodate three people.

Ge San glanced at the room and couldn't help but say enviously, "This room is really spacious; it can accommodate more than a dozen people."

Lu Yang said helplessly, "This house was originally built to be used as a warehouse, but it was never used, so my mother used it as a storage room."

After putting their things down, the group went out to collect firewood and lit the kang (a heated brick bed).

The room warmed up quickly, and Lin Hongshan tidied up his things, saying, "Yangzi, thank you so much this time."

“After the New Year, we’ll go to the south and transfer my younger brother’s school registration there.”

Lu Yang lowered his head and thought for a moment whether he should take the opportunity to transfer Lu Xing and Lu Yue's school registration as well.

But then I thought, I should still ask for their opinions.

They didn't share this when Lu Jianjun kept harassing them, but now that Lu Jianjun has stopped, they don't know if it's necessary to share it.

He thought about it for a moment and then expressed his concerns.

Lin Hongshan hesitated for a moment and said, "My mother doesn't know anyone there. Out of selfishness, I naturally hope that Aunt Tian, ​​Xingxing, and Yue'er will go there."

"But you'll need to adapt when you get there, since you don't speak the language. I think ordinary people like me would have to skip a level if they went there."

This is also what Lu Yang is most worried about. To be fair, Lu Xing and Lu Yue do not have Qi Kang's adaptability.

He simply didn't bring it up again and invited them to watch TV in the main room.

The following morning, Lu Yang and Ge San went to the market to buy New Year's goods.

Lu Yang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Aren't you going home for the Chinese New Year?"

Ge Sanyi shrugged and said, "I went home and looked around, but it was pointless. My eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were being sarcastic and openly and secretly trying to get money from me. I'm not going back!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh. After the two of them had prepared all the New Year's goods, they went to the provincial capital together.

Old Yu sat alone in the appliance store, while his little granddaughter stood beside him playing with a doll.

"Uncle Yu, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Lu Yang ran into the store, smiling as he spoke.

Old Yu grinned, his face crinkling with wrinkles, and said, "Happy New Year! Business has been even better than usual these past few days. I was thinking of not closing down for the New Year; we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway!"

Lu Yang waved his hand: "How can that be? Take a vacation when you should, take your granddaughter out for a stroll, and you'll still get your salary!"

Old Yu got up to pour them tea, and Lin Hongshan asked, "Where's Auntie?"

"I went out with Xiaoxue to buy New Year's goods. This is our first New Year here, and they insisted on buying more things."

Old Yu complained that his wife and daughter were wasting money, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Lin Hongshan nodded, a sense of relaxation showing between his brows.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Yu returned and started cooking for them with a smile.

Lu Yang and the others immediately ran upstairs to help out. After eating there, they went to the branch of the electronics store.

Tao Min was sitting in the shop eating an apple, while Yu Guangxue was sitting next to her watching TV.

Both of them were somewhat surprised to see Lu Yang and the others come in.

"Brother Lu, my cousin was talking about you the other day. When did you get back?"

Tao Min smiled and handed Lu Yang an apple.

Lu Yang took the apple and sat down next to her: "I came back a few days ago. I went home to take care of some things first, and then came over after I finished taking care of them."

Yu Guangxue glanced at Lin Hongshan and asked, "Has the matter of Hongshan's family been resolved?"

"What about Aunt Lin and Xiaomin?"

Lin Hongshan said with a smile, "We're still in the county. We'll head south after the New Year."

Yu Guangxue nodded in agreement: "As long as the family is together and works together, we can always make a good life."

She has emerged from the shadow cast by the Tang family, and her complexion is much better than before.

The group chatted for a while, inquired about the shop's business, told them to close on the 25th of the lunar year, and then left together.

As the Lunar New Year approached, the restaurant was busier than ever before, and Cheng Lin was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

After Lu Yang and the others came in, they didn't even have time to exchange pleasantries with him before immediately getting to work.

The room was soundproofed, but music could still be heard.

This restaurant is very popular, after all, it's the only place in the provincial capital where you can both sing and eat.

They worked until after 9 p.m. before finally seeing off the last table of guests.

Cheng Lin lit a cigarette and sat on the stairs, while waiters came and went, trying out various items.

Lu Yang gave a wry smile: "I really didn't know the restaurant was doing so well."

Cheng Lin blew out a smudge and said, "It's all temporary. Several stores want to copy our store."

“Once those stores open, they will definitely draw away our customers.”

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Hongshan said, "How about we find some chefs who can cook southern specialties?"

"I think the key to running a restaurant is to focus on the food. If the food is delicious and the price is not too expensive, and the service is attentive, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Even if some customers are lost, the business can still continue to operate."

Lu Yang also thought this idea was feasible. He smiled and said, "No need. I can cook a lot of southern dishes. We'll close on the 20th of the lunar year, and I'll teach them."

"Make them sign a contract, and they will be held legally responsible if the recipe is leaked."

Cheng Lin blinked and asked, "Where did you learn that?"

"Didn't you go to study something like statistics?"

Lu Yang nodded and said, "I learned it in my spare time so it wouldn't interfere with my studies. Since I'm going to work in the catering industry, I have to know something about it myself."

Cheng Lin was used to Lu Yang's unexpected abilities. He got up, rubbed his waist, and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest. I feel like my back is about to break."

After the waiter finished packing up their things, the group immediately locked the door and drove back to their residence in the provincial capital to rest.

Before they knew it, it was the 20th of the lunar year. They bought a lot of ingredients, and Lu Yang called all four chefs from the restaurant over for paid training.

For experienced chefs, as long as the dish isn't too complicated, knowing the recipe and practicing it a couple of times will allow them to master it.

They trained intensively until the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, and the four chefs each mastered four southern dishes.

"Don't rush to show all the new dishes. Introduce two new dishes a month, take it slow."

Lu Yang reminded Cheng Lin that he would have to work hard at the shop from now on, and Lu Yang naturally wanted to make things clear to him.

Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "I also want to go to the South next year."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Didn't you say it was too hot over there?"

Cheng Lin said with a bitter face, "When Tao Min came before, I only dared to put him in the electronics store, because I was worried something might happen."

“My sister-in-law’s younger brother is lazy and good-for-nothing all day long. I get annoyed just looking at him and don’t want to put him to work at the restaurant.”

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, not wanting to put Cheng Lin in a difficult position.

So he smiled and said, "Once business here stabilizes after the New Year, you can arrange a reliable manager to run this restaurant, and then you can come south to find us."

Cheng Lin said directly, "I think Yu Guangxue is the most suitable person to manage this. She graduated from high school and has a high level of education. When I'm too busy, she can come and help. She can definitely handle things on her own."
