Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

The old man had other plans for the money. No matter what, this matter had to be kept secret for the time being.

Although Wang Qiang usually looks smart outside, he is different in front of his parents.

Seeing that her youngest son didn't notice anything unusual, the old lady said, "How about we invite Ouyang and the others out for a meal in a few days?

We have to show our hospitality to these old and good things since they are new here."

"Let's wait until after the New Year! Ouyang and his friends are busy. They have a train tomorrow afternoon. Let's wait until they come back and invite them."

Seeing this, the old lady could only nod her head, and at the same time, she did not forget to remind him, "When the time comes, I'll leave it to you to decide where to eat.

Don’t lose your manners.”

The old lady took out a kitchen knife and handed it to her youngest son, "Qiangzi, there's so much meat, help divide it up.

I'll take some away later and give some to the old family on the way. Your second sister's house is far away, so forget about it for now. I'll rub the rest with salt first.

When she comes back in a few days, I'll give her the leftovers so we can enjoy them slowly during the New Year."

Without saying anything, Wang Qiang took the knife and started working. The light in the kitchen was a little dim. When he was cutting the second piece,

The old lady saw the clue and walked forward to sniff for a long time before asking a question.

"I don't think this piece of pork is pork. What's going on, old man?"

The pork was placed on the top, so Zhou Xiaoying didn't notice it at first.

"Oh~ Only the top one is pork, this one is beef, and the bottom one is mutton. Ouyang also took two chickens and a duck.

I thought that we couldn't eat all the meat in a short time, so I decided to raise it at Old Ye's house. His yard is big and it's not easy to be discovered by others.

I'll get it back when I want to eat it in a few days."

Zhou Xiaoying was very surprised to hear that there were still some old ones. Ouyang was really amazing! He could even get such old poultry.

It really opened my eyes. Then I thought, yes, we have got so much meat and rare fruits, what else would we lack?

"We've taken advantage of them this time. When they move to Beijing, if there's anything we can do to help them,

You can't refuse, understand?"

The compensation was not less than a cent, and today they sent such rare things, which shows that they value courtesy.

The old lady felt that since the other person was so authentic in his work, it meant that he knew when to advance and when to retreat, and such people were often the most worthy of making friends with.

When Ouyang Zhen and his group returned to the courtyard, it was already nearly ten o'clock. The mother and daughter washed up briefly and

Then I went back to my room to sleep. It would be a little noisy tonight, and everyone knew it, so when sleepiness really came,

Everyone fell asleep quickly. Old people have light sleep. After Aunt Sun cleaned up the dishes,

Then I cleaned up a room in the front yard next to the study and helped move the old man's bedding over there.

Here, Mr. Ye had already settled the issue of the train tickets, and seeing that it was getting late, he went to bed.

It was almost dawn, and Ouyang Zhen was very sleepy, so he also started to work. It was not until dawn that the house was finally ready.

After all, it is electricity that generates heat, so Ouyang Zhen paid special attention to the insulation. The heating pipes are laid under the floor.

Generally speaking, it is invisible. It is not that he does not trust Master Jiang and his disciples, but he thinks it is better to be cautious.

As the last piece of floor was laid, Jiang Zhide's other two apprentices immediately began to clean up.

First, the abandoned pipes were cleared out, and then the ground was quickly cleaned. After everything was done,

Jiang Zhide and his disciples were quite excited. The fatigue from working all night had long gone. Now it was time to test the results.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement. Without hesitation, he decided to give this first opportunity to Ouyang Zhen.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. After all, the drawings and other things were provided by Ouyang, so he should help to witness them.

"Comrade Ouyang, you were the one who figured out this floor heating, and now that it's finally done, it would be best if you come and turn it on."

Ouyang Zhen readily accepted it. It was not that he did not understand what Master Jiang meant. He nodded, and amid the expectations of the others,

After pressing the switch of the floor heating, in order to better feel the temperature of the floor, several people took off their shoes after cleaning.

As time went by, after about ten minutes, the wooden floor gradually began to heat up, and the doubts of the four masters and apprentices were dispelled.

This discovery made the three middle-aged men, who were considered mature and steady, also happy. Jiang Chao said to them excitedly,

"Dad, it's done. It's really done."

Seeing his son like this, Jiang Zhide glanced at him unhappily.

"You are so old, why are you acting like a child? Besides, I am not stupid, I know whether it will work or not.

Why are you still making such a fuss here? "

Seeing his old man say this, Jiang Chao knew that his reaction was indeed a bit too much, and immediately restrained his expression.

He raised his thumb and praised Ouyang Zhen, "Comrade Ouyang, you are really a genius.

I have never met anyone more capable than you. I know it may be a bit presumptuous to ask this, but I still want to ask for your opinion. "

Ouyang Zhen had already made up his mind about what he was going to ask. After all, the core of floor heating is

The other party has already mastered it, even if they don't ask me, except for this door, they can still do it. If you can ask at this time,

It is enough to show his character. Nodding for him to continue, Jiang Chao saw that Ouyang Zhen understood everything.

What else is there to be confused about? "Comrade Ouyang, your method is currently the first of its kind in Beijing.

Let's be frank. I wonder if you can sell it to us. We will never let you suffer a loss."

Seeing that Ouyang Zhen didn't say anything for a long time, Jiang Chao couldn't help but get anxious, "Comrade Ouyang, we are very sincere.

I heard from Mr. Wang that you will be going home for the New Year in a few days. Don't worry, during this period, your home will be renovated.

Even if we don't celebrate the New Year, we will still go the extra mile to prepare it for you and ensure that you can move in directly when you return.

…………”

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Ouyang Zhen quickly waved his hand to stop him, "Don't misunderstand, Comrade Jiang, don't get excited and listen to me slowly.

I believe you have experienced the effect of floor heating yourself. I don't like beating around the bush when I talk.

I won't sell this method, but we can cooperate. What do you think? You can discuss it first.

If you agree, we can continue the discussion."

When they heard Ouyang Zhen's refusal, the four masters and apprentices were all nervous. But when they heard that they could cooperate,

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, when drawing this blueprint, Ouyang Zhen had already considered this problem and quit his original job.

After coming to Beijing to start anew, we must take it step by step. The economic development of various industries in the next ten years will be

He knew a thing or two, so it was unreasonable for him to be worse off than in the 21st century. That would be too stupid. Moreover, he had no shortage of money.

It is still clear which is more cost-effective, buyout or profit sharing.

This answer seemed to be expected. Except for the two apprentices, the father and son did not react much.

Jiang Zhide doesn't care much about this matter now. He is old and unable to do it. He just wants to do the job well.

As for these trivial matters, it is better to leave them to young people. He should not hold on to them blindly. He was complacent in the past.

Jiang Chao was very happy to see that his father had no objection. In his opinion, whether it was a buyout or profit sharing,

He has money to earn. Haven't you seen that in the past six months, all the restaurants on the streets of Beijing have been closed at mealtime.

It is overcrowded. What does this mean? It means that people nowadays are willing to spend money on food and drink!

After knowing about the good thing of floor heating, will they let it go easily? The answer is absolutely impossible, but they still need to discuss the specific share.

"Comrade Ouyang, usually helping people repair yards is a small business, and this is the first time I'm trying to make a profit. I wonder if you have any good suggestions."

"I don't know much about this either, but whoever does more work will get more money. Do you think this will work?"

This is an eternal truth, and it is also a fact.

Seeing that no one raised any questions, Ouyang Zhen continued, "If you take on more work, the floor heating can be charged separately.

As for the split of 60% between you and 40% between me, I came up with the idea, and the 10% is your labor fee."

Jiang Chao hesitated and thought for a while before he said in a negotiating tone, "Comrade Ouyang, the share you want is too much.

We still have a lot of people working under us.”

"Comrade Jiang, I have already said that my method is unique to Beijing, so it cannot be measured by your previous wages.

I believe you can see that more people have come to you for work in the past six months! You haven't forgotten those drawings, have you?

The changes above are not just about floor heating. Think carefully about the value it holds and see if it is worth it. "

After these remarks, Jiang Chao knew clearly that the man in front of him would not give in. His bottom line was 30%.

After all, it's money! Who would complain about having too much? But people should be honest.

Ouyang Zhen did not urge him, but stood aside and let him think about it slowly. As the temperature in the room rose, the cotton jacket on his body seemed redundant.

Seeing that his son remained silent for a long time, Jiang Zhide also became anxious, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

Alas... this child is still too indecisive, even though others have made it so clear.

"We agree to this condition, but there is one thing: you cannot interfere with our work, and the money you deserve will not be reduced in any way."

"Of course, your reputation is there. After all, no one would want to destroy their own brand, right? Master Jiang,

But I have a suggestion, and I hope you, Master Jiang, will consider it carefully."

"You said."

"I hope the renovation of floor heating and underground pipes will not be priced too low. You should know that scarcity makes things more valuable."

Jiang Zhide quickly calculated in his mind the cost of this room, and thought about how much he would spend if he took more goods at one time.

There is still room for negotiation on the purchase price of the materials, and after deducting labor and transportation costs, it's a profit no matter how you look at it.

Things turned out just as Ouyang Zhen had expected. Master Jiang made the final decision and agreed to the matter.

Strike while the iron is hot, Ouyang Zhen quickly wrote an agreement, "Master Jiang, in order to avoid future troubles,

You must read this agreement carefully. No matter who is on either side of us, we cannot go beyond this agreement.

Otherwise, our cooperation will end here. Of course, if you keep your promise and have better ideas in the future,

I will definitely give it to you without hesitation.”

After they confirmed that there was no problem, Ouyang Zhen wrote two more copies. When he was almost finished, Mr. Ye, who was used to getting up early, stood at the door.

Finally, under the witness of Mr. Ye, the cooperation agreement between the two parties was made in triplicate, with each party retaining one copy.

There was another copy kept here with Mr. Ye. After feeling the warmth of the room, Mr. Ye immediately decided to move into this room tonight.

He also said that there are other rooms in the house that need to be installed with floor heating. Let’s not talk about other rooms for now, but his grandson’s room cannot be delayed.

By the time Ouyang Qing and the others got up, the cooperation had already come to an end. Since they were going to the train station this afternoon,

After breakfast, Mr. Ye told Aunt Sun that they didn't have to cook lunch, so the kids could use the time they had waiting for their train tickets to have a good meal.

I packed my luggage and planned to go for a walk after dinner. Finally, I came back to pick up my luggage.

They went directly to the train station. On the way to eat, Ouyang Qing and his friends learned from Mr. Ye that they would have copper pot hot pot meat for lunch today.

When Ouyang Qing heard about copper pot hot pot, his first reaction was Donglaishun. It was later in life that he learned about Donglaishun.

But it has a history of more than a hundred years. When I arrived at the place and looked at the sign, I saw the big words "Donglaishun" hanging high above the door.

Apparently, Mr. Ye came here quite often after he came back. When the waiter inside saw him, he led him directly to the private room.

Mr. Ye said something to the waiter who brought them in, and the man left quickly.

"Everyone, please try it carefully. This mutton hotpot is unique in Beijing. Now is the season for eating mutton.

This pot is a farewell dinner for you. I wish you all the best on your journey and hope you come back soon after the New Year to meet again.”

"Then my husband and I would like to thank you for your kind words, Mr. Ye. We will come back after the New Year and have another gathering at your house."

Ouyang Qing and others also stood up and thanked Mr. Ye.

The dishes were served very quickly. Soon, the copper pot, mutton and various side dishes were served one by one. The copper pot mutton hot pot was indeed as good as its reputation.

Ouyang Qing picked up the red and white mutton slices and dipped the meat on his chopsticks in the copper pot. The mutton was cooked immediately.

Dipped in the special sauce, the mutton is fresh and tender, and you won’t feel greasy even if you eat more. This is because the ingredients are all natural.

The mutton was particularly delicious, even better than the mutton produced in the space. After the meal, Ouyang Qing sighed in his heart,

It is worthy of the reputation of being awarded by later generations as "the No. 1 Halal Hotpot among China's Time-honored Brands".

Knowing that they were leaving today, Ye Bosheng deliberately postponed today's activities last night and made appointments with the people he had already made.

I also made a special phone call to explain the reason.
