There is room for rebirth at 70: a loyal dog and a rough man’s strong pet

Three years later, on the tenth day of August, at ten o'clock in the morning, crackling firecrackers rang out in front of the Shi family's small restaurant. Two strings of [-]-ring earth red firecrackers snaked on the cement floor at the door, exploding one after another, and the ground was filled with firecrackers. It was instantly covered with red confetti and looked extremely festive.

Finally, Shi Lingfeng stepped forward and unveiled the sign covered with red cloth, and the characters "Ziqi Donglai" appeared in front of people. From then on, Shijia Restaurant was officially renamed Ziqi Donglai.

Yin Yulan stood aside and watched with a smile on her face. The life of their family has really become more and more prosperous. Look at it now, in just over three years, not only has the restaurant opened, but the business is still so prosperous. , and now, they have bought several adjacent houses. It is true that as the children said, their home will definitely be better than it is now.

The difference from three years ago is that the small restaurant that once only had three rooms has now become a famous individual restaurant in this area, and its area has expanded to several times its original size.

It turns out that since the spring breeze of reform and opening up swept across the land of China, Shi Lingfeng was like a tiger emerging from the cage and started business aggressively. Now, he and his younger sister Shi Lingxi have opened three large supermarkets in Beijing. , now has more than 50 employees, and they also want to develop overseas and strive to have their own chain stores in major cities across the country.

Originally, he didn't want his mother to work so hard anymore. He planned to hire two more people to let his mother take care of the children at home and enjoy his old age with his father. But he couldn't resist his mother, so he could only rely on it. , let her continue to work in the restaurant.

In fact, the restaurant already hired two chefs and three waiters last year, plus three employees in the kitchen to help wash dishes and wash dishes. Yin Yulan can't do much work here, but she just can't stay idle. My temper is busy every day, and I feel happy in my heart.

The same goes for Dad Shi. Because the children wouldn't let him help, he simply found some work by himself. He cleaned the streets for free every day and became a voluntary cleaner. To this, the three brothers and sisters could only reluctantly acquiesce. Well, who is the father? What can they do!

Shi Lingyun is now able to take charge of one branch of three large supermarkets on his own. Sales are rising steadily. Of course, this is also related to the high quality of their products.

In addition, the rice, noodles, fruits, chicken, duck, fish, crabs and prawns sold are all taken from Shi Lingxi’s space. Anyone who has bought them knows that the food he sells is super delicious and delicious. I felt indescribably comfortable all over my stomach, and word of the word spread, and business was so good.

Of course, this is only a stopgap measure. In the future, the stalls will become bigger and bigger, and Shi Lingxi will not be able to supply goods to all supermarkets. Therefore, they are already looking for suitable breeding farms and plan to make a slow transition.

After reopening, business is still as good as ever. Every day is packed with seats, and several private rooms even require reservations in advance.

In fact, Shi Lingfeng knew in his heart that the success of his business was all due to his sister. She taught her mother and sister-in-law many fresh dishes, allowing their restaurant to quickly establish a foothold in Beijing.

Also, from the very beginning, the ingredients used in the restaurant were all provided by my sister. The dishes were not only very fresh, but also tasted very good. Just simple cooking made people think about it three times after one meal. What a treat for their family. Attracted a large number of repeat customers.

……

Unlike his eldest brother and younger brother, Shi Lingxi has barely taken care of business in the past two years. He wanders around the country all year round, looking for treasures scattered among the people.

As for the supplies needed in the store, she only went back every once in a while, leaving Ning Ning and An An each with a storage bag, which contained some supplies that needed to be kept fresh, such as vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimps. of.

Anyway, the two siblings have successfully introduced gas into their bodies a few years ago and are fully able to use storage bags. When needed in the store, the two children will take things out of the storage bags in advance. Put it in a yard of their house that serves as a warehouse, and then their uncle will lead people to load it into a truck and take it away.

Moreover, the two children are talented and have made rapid progress. Ning Ning is now a young monk at the fifth level of Qi training, and An An is already at the third level of Qi training. In order to prevent them from practicing too fast and having an unstable foundation, at the same time, To let them hone their mentality, Shi Lingxi had sent his two children to school respectively in the past two years to let them experience the life of ordinary people.

……

On this day, Shi Lingxi and Li Jiancheng came to a small mountain village in Province F. It was a small village surrounded by mountains. There were only a dozen families in total. It can be seen from their houses and clothes that their living conditions were Very bad, all of them were sallow and thin, with a faint sick air on their faces.

Here, they saw a jade pillow that was all green, with strands of spiritual energy flowing on it. Shi Lingxi fell in love with it at first sight. Not only did this jade pillow look good, but the jade quality was gentle, and people came into contact with it frequently. It is very good for the body. She wants to buy it and give it to her parents.

The owner of the jade pillow is an old man in her 70s. She is not in good health and suffers from severe lung disease. She lives alone in a remote old house.

Seeing her trembling appearance, Shi Lingxi couldn't help but worry that she might fall suddenly, so he took two steps forward, reached out to hold her arm, helped her sit down on a stool nearby, and then discussed with her. It's a matter of price.

Although the old lady was old, she was nothing like an ordinary mountain person. Her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, and she bargained with them in a calm tone. If you ignored her heart-wrenching coughs from time to time, she looked more like a grown-up woman who had seen the old lady. The superior person in the world.

Seeing this, Shi Lingxi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, so she let go of her consciousness and searched the ten miles around. The results of the search shocked her.

There are actually a lot of treasures here!

I saw a dark room under the old lady's house. There was a large box inside. There were several pieces of well-made clothes with excellent fabrics in the box. There were several pieces of valuable gold, silver and jade covered underneath. Each piece looked like They are all priceless, and their exquisiteness does not look like folk objects at all.

With a wink at Li Jiancheng, Shi Lingxi continued to negotiate the price with the old lady calmly, and finally bought the object for 300 yuan.

Seeing that Shi Lingxi was very happy to give money, as if he was not short of money, the old lady frowned and thought for a moment, and made a decision instantly. Her illness could no longer be delayed, and she had to raise money as soon as possible to go outside. Seeking a skilled doctor for diagnosis and treatment, if you continue to delay, even if you die guarding these treasures, what's the point.

After making up her mind, she asked straight to the point: "Seeing that you are also honest people, I won't talk in circles with you. My relatives also have two things in their hands, which were also leaked from the palace in the past. I don't know if you have any." I mean I’ll take it all together.”

Shi Lingxi secretly laughed in her heart. This old lady still knew that it was a crime to possess a jade. It was clearly her own, but she still said it belonged to a relative. Is this because she was afraid that they would have bad thoughts about her?

But he said: "I don't know what the old man is talking about, but if it's convenient, I can take a look."

The old lady took a deep look at Shi Lingxi and said, "My relative doesn't live here. If you want to accept it, you can come over tomorrow."
