Back to 2003

"That's right, it's [-] million!"

Tang Qinghua gave a decisive answer.

In his previous life, Yang Tao and he also thought about joining Yoshinoya, but they called to consult and found out that the agency rights for the entire Yuzhou needed [-] million, so they blindsided him and Yang Tao!

I have [-] million, but I still run a fast food restaurant!

"..."

Zhang Xiaolan was stunned immediately and looked depressed.

Initially, she was so excited that she thought she had seen a great business opportunity, and with Tang Qinghua's willingness to invest, this was probably an excellent entrepreneurial opportunity, but she didn't expect that a ladle of cold water would arrive in an instant!

"Why are you being knocked down now?"

Tang Qinghua couldn't help laughing: "Actually, Yoshinoya's Braised Pork Rice is a common rice bowl. There is another similar franchise store in our Bashu area called Village Base."

"Village Foundation? Can I join?"

Zhang Xiaolan's face was a little confused.

Although Village Base has hundreds of franchise stores, it is still limited to Bashu and other places. The next ten years will be when it will develop rapidly. Zhang Xiaolan has heard about it, but has never eaten there.

"Can't--"

Tang Qinghua poured cold water on him again: "Rural Foundation implements a branch store system and does not recruit franchisees, so you can't join if you have money..."

"What's the point of that!"

Zhang Xiaolan pouted immediately after hearing this.

Tang Qinghua couldn't help but feel happy. Zhang Xiaolan usually looked like a tall teacher in front of them, but now she was pouting like a little girl. She couldn't help but want to laugh just looking at it!

"What I mean is that this braised pork rice and rice bowl model is not unique. As long as you try it carefully, you can start your own business, and you can even make it taste better than them."

"If you really want to do it, you can go and try it first, learn from their experience, and come back to prepare to open a store. As long as the future prospects are good, you don't have to worry about funds."

Tang Qinghua shrugged and said.

"Is this still possible? Will anyone accuse us of plagiarism?"

Zhang Xiaolan was a little surprised and a little confused.

"There is no patent for dishes, so how can you plagiarize them?"

Tang Qinghua looked at her seriously: "But Teacher Zhang, if you want to do it, do it seriously. If you fish for three days and net three times for two days, and the things you get back are not up to expectations, I will not pay you... It’s useless for you to be angry.”

"I know, I'm not that kind of person!"

Zhang Xiaolan nodded decisively: "Don't worry, as long as I decide to do something, I will do it carefully. Besides, I like cooking. When I was a child, my dream was not to be a teacher, but to open a big restaurant!"

"Why do I feel like I'm not a teacher?"

Tang Qinghua said slightly speechless.

A future university teacher's dream is not to teach and educate people, but to open a big restaurant...

……

Although spring has begun, the sky has not cleared up yet.

The light rain was falling, making the ground full of mud, and the breeze whimpered gently, bringing with it a hint of chill.

At the edge of the town, white flags are hanging in a small courtyard... The occasional sadness and music are inexplicably depressing!

"The Chen family is not prosperous, but the eldest grandson is gone!"

"Hey, Chen Ruchao is a good kid. He is hardworking and good at studying, but he has no choice but to face this fate!"

"The first key university student in our town has this disease!"

"Cancer, there is nothing we can do! It's a pity that Lao Chen lost his wife in his early years and his son in his middle age, leaving only one girl."

The neighbors around him sighed and felt sorry for him.

Chen Ruchao was not very old, but the person they watched growing up died young when he became an adult. Even the neighbors around him had to lament the injustice of the sky.

The Chen family was already underpopulated, and because the deceased died in infancy, even fewer people came. It was almost noon, and there were only four or five tables of people present, and most of them were neighbors who were helping.

Father Chen was less than fifty, but his temples had turned white and his eyes were cloudy. He was almost ten years older than before. He was sitting there listening to sorrow and music in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart...

The young man lost his wife,

Bereaved in old age,

He was suffering from uncontrollable grief in his heart!

"Squeak-"

A taxi stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

In these days, taxis are still a luxury item, especially when very few people take taxis in towns and villages. When everyone sees this, they turn around and look towards the taxi, wanting to see who the distinguished guest is!

Four young people got out of the car!

When everyone was surprised, six more taxis drove up from behind. Fortunately, the small courtyard was right on the road at the entrance of the town. Otherwise, just seven taxis would have blocked the entire road.

"Who are they? They look so young!"

"Looking at his age, he might be Chen Ruchao's classmate, right?"

"Didn't some high school classmates come yesterday? Why are there so many people here again!"

Seven taxis, a total of 27 people.

It wasn't until Zhang Xiaolan, the conductor, arrived that he led everyone into the courtyard.

"Brother, sister..."

Chen Yumeng stepped forward and knelt down to greet her, tears suddenly bursting out of her eyes!

Unexpectedly, after my brother passed away, so many college classmates would come from thousands of miles away to see him. This sincere friendship between classmates should make my brother smile even under his breath!

"Yu Meng, get up quickly!"

Qu Xiaoyu quickly helped her up.

Behind him, Qu Bingbing was already in tears, looking sadly at the small courtyard...

That shy and honest boy, but dared to say loudly, Qu Bingbing, I like you;

The boy who is diligent and self-disciplined, but is willing to wait outside his school all night just for himself;

The poor and hard-working boy who worked hard and studied hard to earn money to buy himself scarves and snacks;

I always asked if I got up that morning;

The one who likes to accompany himself in the rain;

The one who talks on the phone and can’t bear to hang up;

Did the boy he loved so much pass away like this?

"These people are Chen Ruchao's college classmates?"

"With so many people coming from far away, the feelings of college classmates are different!"

"Bashu University is a well-known university in the country. The quality of students is different!"

"It shows that Xiao Chao is very popular. Such classmates are willing to come to see him off. How many others would be able to come?"

Relatives, friends and neighbors all around sighed with relief.

"uncle!"

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Qu Bingbing stepped forward and knelt down in front of Father Chen.

"Girl-"

Father Chen was stunned at first, and then he burst into tears. There was sadness, despair, and helplessness in his cries... but there was also a hint of relief. If his son had not died, this well-behaved and sensible girl in front of him would be his future daughter-in-law!

Chaoer, please feel at ease!

"Uncle, can I have Mai Takabu?"

Qu Bingbing raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes.

This sentence shocked the people around them, and they soon came to their senses. The beautiful girl in front of them must be Chen Ruchao's girlfriend. She traveled thousands of miles to see him and was willing to use "courtesy" instead!

"Girl, get up quickly!"

Father Chen finally came to his senses and held her up with both hands: "Uncle knows what you mean, but it's a pity that Chao is so unlucky that you don't have such a good blessing. You are still a big girl, you shouldn't wear these..."
