Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan and his companions were woken up by the waiter and went to the restaurant.

On the table, Liu Qingshan took out his wooden box containing Melo Pearls.

"What is this?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"You have seen this thing too. Do you still remember that I brought back a few coconut snails from a business trip to the island city? Didn't you open a small bead? It was golden!" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Oh! That bead! I thought it was very beautiful at the time."

Feng Yu took the beads, placed them in front of Lou Xiao'e, and gently opened the box.

"What! Are you planning to give it to me?" Lou Xiao'e joked with a smile.

"You're overthinking it. I can't afford this thing. At first, Qingshan even said he'd make it into a necklace for me to wear! But I didn't dare!"

When Feng Yu heard that such a small bead might be worth tens of thousands, his heart began to beat fast. He even trembled when he held it in his hand, let alone wearing it around his neck.

"What is that? It's so precious! Let me see!" Lou Xiao'e took the box with a smile and looked at it carefully.

"This is Melo Pearl. I heard it is very valuable abroad. I want you to take it to Hong Kong to find a buyer. I don't think anyone in the country will spend a lot of money to buy this thing!" Liu Qingshan said slowly.

"It's really beautiful, but I really don't know the market price of this thing, and I can't tell you nonsense! I'll ask a professional later!" Lou Xiao'e said matter-of-factly, and then put the thing away.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it. It doesn't matter how much these beads can be sold for. I'll use the remaining money to invest in your clothing store. Let's do business together."

Liu Qingshan has already decided that he really needs to join this garment factory. He wants to build a research and development center, which requires a lot of money!

"You've decided, that's great." Lou Xiao'e laughed happily, then turned to look at Sha Zhu and his wife, and asked expectantly: "What about you? Do you want to work together? Let's start a business together, three sisters?"

"We don't have that much money. Zhuzi and I have been busy for more than a year, and we only have a few tens of thousands of yuan in total. It's not enough to invest in your clothing factory!" Tian Xiuyun said unhappily.

"It's okay, why don't you take a smaller share? I'll make you the general manager then!" Lou Xiao'e put her arm around Tian Xiuyun's shoulders and said arrogantly.

"No, you can invest, but forget about being the general manager. I can't even manage this small restaurant of mine, so forget about running such a big factory!" Tian Xiuyun said quickly.

"We'll talk about the factory later. The Canton Fair will open tomorrow, let's go and take a look." Liu Qingshan came here this time to see the commodity exhibition. This is also the most important display platform for our country's commodity exports in recent years.

"Okay, let's go out for a walk today. It's rare for you to go on a long trip, so I'll take you on a good tour!"

Lou Xiao'e picked out clothes for them yesterday, also for these reasons. The clothes they brought with them were too hot to wear now. How could they go out?

"Are you okay? Don't you want to keep an eye on the hotel?" Sha Zhu looked at the idle Lou Xiao'e and asked directly.

"Yes! If you have something to do, just go and do it. We can just stroll around!" Liu Qingshan also said.

"There is a dedicated manager in the hotel. It's okay for me to accompany you for a few days." Lou Xiao'e explained.

She is responsible for quite a lot of industries, including some in Hong Kong. If she has to do everything herself, she would be exhausted.

A few people went back to the house to pack up, then went downstairs to prepare to leave.

Lou Xiao'e planned to take a few people to Yuexiu Park first to let them experience the natural scenery and cultural landscape of the south.

We spent the whole morning strolling around the park. Seeing the scenery that was so different from the old city, it was an eye-opener for everyone!

After having a simple lunch nearby at noon, Lou Xiao'e drove a few people around the area!

Looking at the factories, high-rise buildings, and road facilities under construction, everyone was amazed at the speed of development here.

"You must be dumbfounded. The changes here can be described as rapid. You never know what it will look like when you come back in a while!" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"This city has taken off! The gap between it and other places will become bigger and bigger in the future!" Liu Qingshan said with emotion.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and have dinner. I specially asked someone to prepare some seafood today, let's go back and try it together!"

"You've spent a lot of money this time. Compared to this, what we ate in my restaurant last time was not even up to par! The gap is too big." Sha Zhu sighed.

"That's not how it works. Our friendship cannot be measured by money. This is a revolutionary friendship!"

After a while of chatting and joking, they returned to the hotel. Today's dinner was exactly as Lou Xiao'e had said, with lots of seafood.

Boiled shrimp, steamed grouper, braised abalone, conch, fresh platters, etc.

This dish looks very expensive, how can ordinary people afford it?

"How do you eat this? It looks raw to me." Feng Yu pointed at the sashimi and asked worriedly.

"This is how you eat it. Dip it in the secret soy sauce and eat it directly." As she said that, Lou Xiao'e picked up a piece with chopsticks and started eating.

"This must be popular in Japan! It's close to the sea and people there like to eat this way!" Sha Zhu said with a smile!

"Yes, our chef can cook it too, so he made some for everyone to try!" Lou Xiao'e explained.

"In fact, our country has had this practice for a long time. This thing was passed from us to them!" Sha Zhu said proudly.

Sha Zhu may not know much about other things, but he has a lot of experience in cooking. Not only is he proficient in Shandong cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, but he also learned a lot about the history of other cuisines when he was with Nan Yi.

"Okay, let's try it! Don't just talk!" Liu Qingshan invited everyone to eat together.

After hearing what Liu Qingshan said, everyone picked up their chopsticks and tried the sashimi. Some carefully dipped a little sauce into their mouths and tasted it carefully, while others boldly picked up a large piece and chewed it with big mouthfuls.

"Yeah, it tastes really good!" "Yeah, it's quite fresh and tastes good."

Everyone was eating and praising the food. Seeing everyone enjoying the meal, Lou Xiao'e was also very happy.

"How about it? Did I not lie to you? This sashimi tastes fresh. I specially asked someone to prepare it!" Lou Xiao'e said with a proud smile.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively and everyone started talking about what they had seen and heard today!

Sha Zhu and Liu Qingshan also started drinking. Lou Xiao'e didn't prepare red wine today. She brought two bottles of Moutai for them. They drank more happily than red wine!
