All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, the sister-in-law asked excitedly:
"Is it really okay to continue making fried fish nuggets and braised pork head meat? I've been thinking about this every day for the past few days, for fear that people here have different tastes."

After all, the sister-in-law is a person with life experience and knows that business is not easy to do.Her small business can do well in a small county in Yu Province, but she may not be able to make money when she comes to Chang'an.

Even if it is a province, not a place, the taste is different. Now that they have left Yu Province and come to Chang'an, they don't know what the taste of the people here is.

The old sister-in-law is not sure whether the small business in the past can still be done.

Of course, Yue Wenxuan didn't just talk nonsense, he explained seriously:
"I haven't been idle for the past few days. In addition to supervising the repair of the house, I also specially inspected the market.

My sister-in-law's fried fish nuggets and stewed pork head meat will definitely be popular here, and they should sell well without any adjustments. If they make a little adjustment, they will definitely sell even better. "

With Yue Wenxuan's affirmation, the sister-in-law finally regained some confidence, "I don't expect to sell better, as long as I can sell well and make some money, I am already content."

"As long as the small business can continue, our family should be able to gain a foothold in Chang'an City.

Wenxuan, you are the head of the family and your work is the most important thing. Do you have any plans? "

The old lady naturally cared more about Yue Wenxuan.

"After everything is settled at home, I will go to the telegraph office to have a look.

Before departure, Director Wu wrote me a letter of introduction. One of his old classmates was a senior leader of the Telegraph Bureau.

With his connection, it shouldn't be difficult to find a job at the telegraph office. "

Yue Wenxuan looked at Meng Yining, "Yining also knows how to send telegrams. By the way, let me ask if the telegraph office needs a telegraph operator. It would be even better if Yining can also work in the telegraph office."

"Then you have to ask me carefully, if you can work as a telegraph operator in the telegraph office, that would be great!
The two of us go to and from get off work together without worrying about my safety. This job is perfect. "

Meng Yining was very excited and eager for this job.

She has decided to find a job and can't eat at home, but it is too difficult for young women in this era to find a suitable job.

Even if she is educated, it is still difficult to find a job she likes.

During this period, there were too many restrictions on women. Women participated in the work, and there were various practical problems in reality, which had to be taken into consideration.

The job of telegrapher is very suitable for her. First of all, she has this technology, and the technology is good.

The salary of the telegrapher is also high, and it is respected. It is a very decent job.

The current situation is turbulent, and it is very unsafe for young women to go out. If they can have a lover to accompany them back and forth, they don't have to worry about safety issues.

Seeing the expectation in his wife's eyes, Yue Wenxuan said again: "I haven't met Director Wu's old classmate yet, so I don't dare to say that I'm sure, but I'm more than half sure.

The telegraph office in Chang'an is far from what the telegraph office in a small county can compare to. With a large number of personnel, there are naturally more opportunities.

And Director Wu's old classmate is an important leader of the Telegraph Bureau, so I don't think it would be a problem for him to recruit two people.

Big deal, I'll prepare a decent meeting gift, and I think it should be able to do it. "

When he first came to Chang'an, his family was very unfamiliar with everything here. In order to let his family integrate into the place as soon as possible, Yue Wenxuan specially set aside an afternoon to accompany his family around the neighborhood.

As the provincial capital, the prosperity of Chang'an is far from that of the small county where they used to live.

The small village in his hometown can't even compare with the prosperous ancient capital, that is, Luoyang, the provincial capital of his hometown, can be compared with Chang'an.

But Yue Wenxuan's family's impression of Luo Yang was only limited to a glimpse when they passed by, and even because of the status of Meng Yining's family, they didn't have time to look around.

After all, it is the provincial capital and the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties with a long history. In the eyes of the family, the prosperity of Chang'an is beyond their imagination.

And they will settle here for a long time in the future. Their family will be from Chang'an in the future. With this filter, everything they see in their eyes is beautiful.

After wandering around all afternoon, after returning home, the whole family was very happy, only Yue Wenxuan felt a little heavy in his heart.

The house he bought is located in a wealthy area, the surrounding environment is good, and the law and order are good. These are all advantages.

But after turning around today, he found that he had overlooked an important problem, that is, it was a bit far from the nearest air-raid shelter.

Once the alarm sounds, the family may not be able to run to the air-raid shelter in time for such a long distance.

Especially since there are two little-footed old ladies at home, no matter if the two of them are walking or being carried on their backs, it must be too late.

The air defense issue is precisely a major security issue that cannot be ignored. If this issue cannot be resolved, how can he rest assured.

He thought about it, and there was only one way, and that was to build a small air-raid shelter in his own yard.

After having this idea, he thought that public air-raid shelters were not so safe in the first place, which made him even more determined.

I will live in Chang'an for a long time in the future, and I must establish a good relationship with the neighbors on both sides. It is necessary to visit and get to know each other.

Regarding the neighbors on both sides, Yue Wenxuan had already inquired with others.

The neighbor to the west is said to be a real rich man, who lives in a small western-style building, and the house next door is just an inconspicuous property of their family, which has been rented out.

The courtyard on the west side is as big as that of Yue Wenxuan's house, and there are more tenants living in it, about seven or eight families.

The landlord does not live here, and there are too many people renting in the yard, so there is no need for Yue Wenxuan to visit.

The courtyard on the east side was nearly half smaller than Yue Wenxuan's. There were only four main rooms, and four generations lived there.

This family was born and bred locally, it was necessary for Yue Wenxuan to pay a visit.

In the evening, Yue Wenxuan saw the family returning home from get off work one after another, so he greeted the old lady, took two catties of pork head that his sister-in-law had just marinated, and entered the door next door.

Yue Wenxuan walked to the middle of the yard, stopped, and shouted, "Is there anyone at home?"

A middle-aged man in his 50s came out and saw that Yue Wenxuan was very strange, so he asked suspiciously:
"Sir, who are you looking for? Did you go to the wrong door?"

"I'm the neighbor next door to your house. I just bought the house a few days ago. Today is the first day I officially moved in. I came here to pay a visit.

My surname is Yue, Yue Wenxuan, I don't know your surname? "

It turned out that the new neighbor next door came to visit, and the middle-aged man greeted warmly:
"Miangui's surname is Hou, and my name is Hou Zhenqing.

I have been so busy these past few days that I didn't even notice that there is a new neighbor next door. I'm really rude, Mr. Yue, please come in quickly. "

After entering the house, Yue Wenxuan handed the stewed pork head to Hou Zhenqing, "This is made by our family, a little care, don't dislike it."

"You are too polite. As a neighbor, I didn't help you. It's really rude."

"It's my fault, I should have come to visit earlier, don't take offense."

The two of them were polite, and Hou Zhenqing let Yue Wenxuan into the room.

His family members were all there, and Hou Zhenqing briefly introduced Yue Wenxuan.

Although Hou Zhenqing's family has four generations of grandparents, the population is not complex. The oldest member of the family is Hou Zhenqing's old mother. The old lady is over 70 years old this year, but she looks hale and hearty, and her body is very tough.

Hou Zhenqing has three daughters and two sons. All three daughters are married and do not live at home.

The eldest son is in his early thirties this year and is married with a son.The second son is the youngest and is still studying in middle school.

A guest came to the house, and after the meeting, all the women in the house, except the old lady, avoided going out.

Hou Zhenqing was very curious about this new neighbor who came to visit, but he didn't immediately ask Yue Wenxuan for details.

Instead, he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Yue's family just moved here, so they are definitely not familiar with this place, if you have any needs, just ask.

There is an old saying: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, our two families are the closest, and we must help each other in any difficulties. "

"Then I would like to say thank you in advance, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely come to ask for help.

To tell you the truth, our family moved here from Yu Province, and we don't have any relatives or friends here. Our eyes are dark, and we will inevitably trouble you in the future. "

Hou Zhenqing had already recognized Yue Wenxuan's Yu province accent long ago, but he never pointed it out, and only now said:
"Now that the country is in ruins, no matter if we are from Yu Province or from Chang'an, we are all Chinese and we are all one family.

You brought your family all the way to Chang'an, and when you think about it, you know it's not easy.

It is also fate that our two families can become neighbors.

My neighbor doesn't have any great skills, so I can only make a living in Shi* Mansion. With this old face, I still have a bit of face in our area.

I can't talk about big things, but if it's some trivial things, if I say a word, it can be somewhat useful. "

Yue Wenxuan had already inquired about Hou Zhenqing's identity and knew that he was an ordinary employee of Shi* Mansion, but he still said:
"Judging by your temperament, you can tell that you are definitely not an ordinary person. With a neighbor like you who works in the Shi* Mansion, you will definitely be honored in the future."

Hou Zhenqing was not a big talker, and Yue Wenxuan looked unusual, so he spoke more modestly:

"I wish I could have this honor, but unfortunately I don't have the ability.

I am just an ordinary clerk, you think too highly of me.

I don't have this ability, but my eldest son is still a bit useful.

He works in the police station. Although he is only a small section chief, he still has a bit of prestige in our area.

If you encounter any troubles in the future, even if he can't solve them, he should be able to give you an idea, or ask someone or something. "

Hou Zhenqing's eldest son, Hou Chengwu, also said at the right time:

"In the police station, I'm just a little guy, I don't have much right to speak, that is to say, I know a lot of people, and I can get in touch with people of all levels. If something happens, my little guy's words will definitely not work, but I can find Someone who speaks well."

Hou Chengwu has a face with Chinese characters. Although he is not handsome, he is born with a decent face, which can easily give people a sense of trust.

When Yue Wenxuan inquired with others, he learned the most about Hou Chengwu.

Hou Zhenqing worked in Shi* Mansion, and he was indeed a small employee with little right to speak, but his eldest son, Hou Chengwu, was not what he said was an ordinary small section chief of the police station.

The news he inquired was not like this. Hou Chengwu was still very prestigious in the police station, but he was not an ordinary low-level guy, he could be regarded as a middle-level leader.

Yue Wenxuan came to visit this time mainly to get to know him and see what kind of person he is.

Hou Chengwu's reputation in the neighborhood is good, and the first impression he gave at this time was also very good.

It's not a good thing to have a neighbor in the police station if the other party is a gangster-like figure.

But it's not such a bad thing if the person is acting decent, even if it's a disguise.

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, the two sides had a basic understanding, and Yue Wenxuan left.

Other things can be put aside for later, and the most important thing is that the children are studying and cannot be delayed.

The next day, Yue Wenxuan first contacted the school for several children in the family.

Although the current situation is turbulent, Chang'an is a provincial capital after all, and there are many schools for boys and girls. It took Yue Wenxuan a day to arrange the enrollment of several children.

Because this is a wealthy area, there are many good schools around, and several children can enroll nearby.

Being close, there is no need to have lunch at the school, let alone live in the school. On the way back and forth, a few children walk together, and Yue Wenxuan doesn't have to worry about safety.

Is the cost is a bit high.Of course, the educational conditions in the provincial capital are not comparable to those in the small counties, but correspondingly, the cost of studying for each child is much higher.

It is definitely a huge burden to support eight children at the same time, not to mention ordinary families, even middle-class families can hardly afford it.

That is to say, Yue Wenxuan is not short of money, and has the confidence to support so many children in his family to study at the same time.

After arranging the enrollment of several children, Yue Wenxuan also had to worry about the family's small business.

The first thing to solve is the purchase of raw materials. He personally took Yuejiashi to various butcher shops to inquire about prices, mainly to exercise Yuejiashi's ability.

In the end, according to the information provided by the system mall, a butcher shop in the suburbs was selected to supply.

The price of this butcher shop is the lowest, and it can also deliver goods to the door, which is suitable for long-term cooperation.

The purchase problem was solved. With Yue Wenxuan's participation and suggestions, the secret recipes of fried fish and stewed meat were adjusted, and the items for sale also increased slightly.

On the basis of fried fish nuggets and stewed pork head meat, braised pig's trotters, stewed pig tails, and stewed offal are added.

The reason for adding these appearances is simple, that is, the purchase price is cheap.

The prices of pig heads, offal, and trotters are already much cheaper than pork, and the prices of these things sold in this butcher shop are much cheaper than other places.
