Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

The next morning, Liu Hao got up and knocked on San Niu's door. "San Niu, San Niu, wake up!" Liu Hao said.

"Okay, Brother Hao, I'll get up now," San Niu replied!

After hearing his third sister's answer, Liu Hao went back to his room to wash up!

San Niu snapped out of her daze, quickly got up, dressed, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. She was drying her face when Liu Hao came in. "You got up pretty quickly! I was worried you weren't awake yet! You dry your face, I'll help you with your hair," Liu Hao said.

"Then, let me put some more of that medicated cream on your hair, San Niu said!"

"Alright, put your hat on too. It's snowing lightly today, so wear your thick cotton-padded coat. Don't get cold." Liu Hao helped San Niu put on her cotton-padded coat.

Help San Niu put on her cotton-padded coat. San Niu and Liu Hao, come out for breakfast!

"Come and eat! I steamed some meat buns today, and also made soy milk, which San Niu loves. It's not too hot anymore, so sit down and eat!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Dad, can you put some sugar in it for me? I want sweet soy milk!" San Niu said.

"This bowl is yours. I've already put sugar in it. Try it and see if it's sweet," Zhang Laosan said.

"Mmm, it's sweet. Dad, Mom, you should sit down and eat too, before it gets cold," San Niu said!

"Brother Hao, the meat buns are especially delicious today, you should eat more, San Niu says!"

"Okay, finish this," Liu Hao said.

"But I can only eat half of it, I can't finish the rest," San Niu said!

"Sigh, you don't even eat as much as the kitten. I'll eat the rest. Go get a box of snacks and take them to the company. Eat them when you're hungry," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, I'll go get it now." San Niu happily went to get the snacks!

After Liu Hao finished eating, he drove San Niu to the company!

When the two arrived at the company, Liu Hao, carrying some snacks, took San Niu's hand and led her to his office!

Liu Hao poured San Niu a cup of hot water and said, "You play here for a while, I'm going to a meeting, I'll be back in about half an hour!"

"Okay, go ahead! Brother Hao, San Niu said..."

Liu Hao took the documents and went to a meeting. San Niu casually looked around in Liu Hao's office, then sat down in Liu Hao's office chair and started flipping through the documents on the table.

San Niu was looking at the factory's profit document. She didn't expect that Hao Gege's factory, which was so big, only earned more than 200,000 yuan a year. Oh, thinking about it, that makes sense. It's the 80s now, and meat is only a little over one yuan a month. More than 200,000 yuan is not much to San Niu, but to others, it is a lot of money!

San Niu opened another file and looked at it. It was a small bill and price list for silk thread. She didn't expect silk thread to be so expensive now. No wonder she made so little profit. It turned out that the cost was too high!

San Niu then looked at another document. After reading all three documents on the table, San Niu had a basic understanding of Liu Hao's company. Currently, the cost of silk thread is high, and the profit from selling the woven fabric is very low. In this situation, apart from the employees' wages, they can't make much money from a single piece of fabric!

It seems we need to find a way to save costs!

San Niu was deep in thought! Liu Hao returned from his meeting. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed!" Liu Hao asked.

San Niu stood up and leaned against the table. "Brother Hao, I just looked at the documents on your table, and I found that the silk thread the factory buys is too expensive. This makes the cost too high. Where does this silk thread come from?" San Niu asked.

"The silk threads are all shipped from Hangzhou. Among the silk threads in China, those from Hangzhou are the best, but also the most expensive," Liu Hao said.

"How much worse are the prices and quality of silk threads from other places compared to those from Hangzhou?" San Niu asked.

"The quality is slightly inferior, but the price is much higher because silk thread from Hangzhou is expensive, and shipping costs are also high. So, all things considered, the cost is particularly high," Liu Hao said!

"Has the factory ever used silk threads from other places to weave cloth?" San Niu asked.

"I wove one piece of cloth, but I felt the quality wasn't very good, so I didn't use it anymore," Liu Hao said.

"I understand. You go ahead and help me. After I'm done, I want to go check out that piece of fabric and see how the quality is," San Niu said.

"Okay, wait a moment," Liu Hao said, then focused on reading the documents.

San Niu poured Liu Hao a cup of tea and placed it on the table.

San Niu sat on the sofa drinking tea!

After Liu Hao finished processing the documents, he said, "Alright, let's go to the warehouse first, then we'll go eat. Oh, and take the snacks with you, Liu Hao!"

San Niu packed the snacks into her bag, and Liu Hao took her hand and headed to the storeroom. Once there, Liu Hao asked the people in the storeroom, "Where is that piece of not-so-good fabric that weaved before? Find it for me!"

"Okay, manager, I'll go find it right away. People in the warehouse, hurry up and go find the fabric!"

He brought the fabric in no time!

"Yes, this is the fabric. San Niu, take a look," Liu Hao said.

San Niu looked at the fabric. The color was nice and it was smooth. She pulled the fabric with both hands and found that it was still a bit elastic. Nowadays, most fabrics don't have any elasticity. Could this be the elastic fabric that was very popular in her previous life? This elastic fabric is so comfortable to wear when made into clothes and pants!

San Niu was overjoyed. "Brother Hao, this kind of silk thread is very bright and smooth when used to weave fabric. Most importantly, it's elastic. Clothes made from this fabric are high-end and more comfortable to wear than fabrics without elasticity. I want to use this fabric to make suits. I especially like this fabric!" San Niu said.

“Really, aren’t you worried that this fabric isn’t of good quality? Look at this fabric, it doesn’t have Hangzhou silk threads, so the woven fabric is thick and sturdy,” Liu Hao said!

"Brother Hao, believe me, after the New Year, you'll definitely make a lot of money weaving cloth with this kind of silk thread. This kind of cloth is perfect for making thin clothes that are both beautiful and comfortable to wear. If you weave this kind of cloth, you can raise the price and sell it for a higher price, and you'll definitely make a lot of money. You can weave several kinds and put them in the showroom to sell as high-end fabrics," San Niu said!

“Okay, I’ll do as you say. After the New Year, once the factory reopens, I’ll order more of this kind of silk thread and then start weaving,” Liu Hao said.

“Alright, you have to knit it for me first,” San Niu said!

"Okay, I got it. Let's go eat!" Liu Hao said.

San Niu and Liu Hao drove to dinner. In the car, San Niu said, "Oh my, I have such good taste! Knowing someone as capable as you is my lucky star. I have to buy you a couple more outfits today to thank you properly. My little girl, you've helped me so much!"

"That's right, I'm very smart, aren't I? My judgment is excellent, isn't it! Just wait and see how much money you make!" San Niu said proudly!

"Yes, I've always known that San Niu is an exceptionally capable person," Liu Hao said with a smile, patting San Niu's head.

"Yes, Brother Hao, the factory weaves cloth, so do you have a lot of leftover thread?" San Niu asked.

"Yes, there is. There's always a lot left over. Some factory workers take it home and use it, and there's always a lot left over in the small warehouse," Liu Hao said.

“The leftover thread can also be used to make clothes. You can weigh it by weight, put it in the showroom, and sell it to people like us who make clothes. You can also sell it to stores at a lower price. That way, you can make a lot of money in a year. I think the money you make is enough for us to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for a year,” San Niu said!

"Oh! That's a great idea! How come I didn't think of that? After we sell them, I'll bring you here to eat more often as a way of thanking our San Niu, okay?" Liu Hao said.

"Oh, great! Let's make it a happy decision!" San Niu exclaimed joyfully.

The two of them chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the private restaurant!

"Mr. Liu, you two have arrived. The private room is ready for you. I'll take you there, the manager said!"

"Thank you. Could you also prepare two more snacks for me? We'll take them with us after we finish eating," Liu Hao said.

"Mr. Liu, do you want some of that stuff? Please ask!"

"San Niu, what would you like to eat today?" Liu Hao asked.

"I want to eat steamed asparagus and eight-treasure duck," San Niu said!

"Okay, then let's have steamed luo fish, eight-treasure duck, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, stir-fried lotus root, and soup," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, it just so happens that we have shark fin soup today. How about we bring this young lady a serving? What do you say, manager?"

"Okay, then let's have some shark fin soup," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, you two, wait a moment, I'll make the arrangements," the manager said before leaving.

"Brother Hao, is shark fin soup delicious?" San Niu asked!

"Shark fin doesn't taste particularly good, but it's good for your health. It's a great tonic, especially for women. Eating more shark fin, bird's nest, and milk is all very good for your health," Liu Hao said!

"Oh, I see. I'll try it later," San Niu said!

"By the way, what should we bring when we go to Hainan, Sanniu?"

"Bring a few sets of clothes for spring and autumn, two sweaters, two pairs of shoes, some toiletries, and warm clothes. Just wear what you need," Liu Hao said!

"Then I need to go to the store tomorrow and buy two new pairs of shoes. My old shoes are too small and I can't wear them anymore," San Niu said.

"Then, buy me two pairs of sneakers tomorrow, size 42," Liu Hao said!

"Okay, I got it. I'll buy sneakers too, so my feet won't get tired when I walk," San Niu said!

"Yes, we should wear sneakers for walking, they're comfortable," Liu Hao said!

The manager pushed open the door and came in. "Your dishes are here," he said. "Please enjoy your meal."

Liu Hao placed the shark fin in front of San Niu and said, "This is shark fin, have a taste!"

San Niu scooped it out with a spoon, looked at it, and saw that it was crystal clear and quite pretty. San Niu scooped up a spoonful, put it in her mouth, and exclaimed, "Brother Hao, this has no taste at all, it's not good!"

"Mmm, shark fin, just the right taste," Liu Hao said!

San Niu ate two spoonfuls and then didn't want to eat anymore. "I don't want to eat anymore, you eat it! Brother Hao, San Niu said!"

Liu Hao picked up the bowl and said, "This is good for your health. You're too thin right now, eat more to help you get back in shape. Here, let me feed you. Be good, open your mouth." Liu Hao coaxed San Niu until she ate half of it. San Niu didn't want to eat the rest, so Liu Hao had no choice but to eat it himself!

"Then eat more of the abalone here," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, Brother Hao, you should eat too. San Niu scooped half a bowl for Liu Hao and put it in front of him!"

Liu Hao especially enjoyed spending time with San Niu. He found their company relaxing, comfortable, and joyful. Despite her young age, San Niu was intelligent and sensible, unlike other children who would throw tantrums or be spoiled. In fact, San Niu possessed nothing repulsive about her; she was a very understanding girl. Liu Hao felt that the more time he spent with San Niu, the more merits he discovered in her. He loved all of San Niu's qualities and felt deeply infatuated. Therefore, Liu Hao was determined to treat San Niu even better, hoping she would like him back and even fall in love with him quickly. This was the only way to ensure that San Niu wouldn't be lured away by other men when she grew up!

After finishing their meal, San Niu and Liu Hao took some snacks, walked out, got into their car, and drove to the foreign exchange shop!

Upon arriving at the foreign exchange shop, Liu Hao took San Niu's hand and led her inside. "Let's go buy you some clothes first," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, then I'll buy two dresses! And a nightgown too, just enough to take to Hainan," San Niu said!
