Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"You make sense!" Lou Xiao'e agreed thoughtfully and asked, "Since you knew they were going to be demolished, why did you buy so many courtyard houses? Don't tell me you did it for sentimental reasons!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Shouldn't they compensate me for demolishing my house?! The compensation or the house can't be smaller than my courtyard house, right?! Who knows, maybe one day I can make a fortune from this?!"

"Haha..." Lou Xiao'e was so amused by Yan Jiekuang's words "get rich". Lou Xiao'e covered her stomach and asked, "Yan Jiekuang, do you still need this money?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded very honestly and said, "No one would dislike having too much money."

However, Lou Xiao'e did not expect that what she said as a joke would actually come true in the future.

Yan Jiekuang took Lou Xiao'e to look around. Then they returned to the car. Yan Jiekuang asked, "Sister Xiao'e, how long will it take to complete all the formalities?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied: "I have asked someone to inquire. The fastest is a week, the slowest is a month. If it is a simple food factory, I think the formalities can be completed quickly."

Yan Jiekuang reminded: "Sister Xiao'e, when writing the business scope, please write broader. It would be best if you could include the catering industry."

"Don't worry! I'll ask them to write everything that needs to be written." Lou Xiao'e replied and asked, "You haven't told me the name of the company yet?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "The company is called Huarong Food. It has two sub-brands, one is Wanchai Fried Nuts and the other is Shuxiangju Catering."

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "Why do you want to start a catering business again?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "In the courtyard where I used to live, there was a chef in the middle courtyard. I plan to help him. I will provide the money and the place, and he will provide the skills and the people."

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment and asked, "You're not talking about Sha Zhu's family, are you?!"

Yan Jiekuang tilted his head to look at Lou Xiaoe and asked, "Do you know her?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied, "I don't know He Yuzhu, but I have heard of him. But I know his father. He has also come to my house and cooked for my parents. My mother said that Shazhu's father is also an elder of the Tan family. However, he left the Tan family before he could finish his apprenticeship. According to my mother's generation, I should call Shazhu brother. If it is their family, I have no objection."

Yan Jiekuang laughed and joked: "Why do I need your consent if I cooperate with him?!"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said with a smile: "Aren't you used to it?! Which of the businesses you have doesn't have a share for me?!"

Yan Jiekuang said thoughtfully: "That's true. But there is no share for you in the catering company."

"That won't do. I must have a share. You want to get rid of me and eat alone? No way!" At this time, Lou Xiao'e acted like a rogue, and put on an attitude that if you don't agree today, you can't get off the car. She stared at Yan Jiekuang blankly.

Yan Jiekuang was frightened by Lou Xiaoe's look. After hesitating for a while, Yan Jiekuang compromised and said, "I can take you with me. As for the distribution of shares, you can talk to He Yuzhu yourself."

Without thinking twice, Lou Xiao'e agreed and said, "Okay! Let's go now!" Then she started the car and drove to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

At the same time, Xu Damao got off the train with a large color TV and a video recorder that he bought from Guangzhou. Xu Wude, who was waiting on the platform, saw Xu Damao and immediately went to meet him. After taking the things from Xu Damao, Xu Wude asked, "Damo, did you have a smooth journey?"

Xu Damao replied, "It went smoothly, but the inspection was strict on the road. Fortunately, the conductor of this train was Yan Jiecheng. Otherwise, I really couldn't bring these things back." As he spoke, Xu Damao helped Xu Wude move the large color TV and VCR onto the cart that Xu Wude borrowed. The father and son, one pushing and the other pulling, slowly dragged the cart of things out of the station.

After leaving the train station, Xu Damao handed a cigarette to Xu Wude and asked, "Dad, have you found a place for the video hall?!"

Xu Wood lit up a cigarette, took two puffs, took a deep breath, and said, "I've found a place, right in Chaodou Hutong. There used to be a business that made opera props over there. It was the tertiary industry of the street office. Now it can't continue, and several businesses that make opera props have merged together. That place is now vacant. I rented the place from the street office. It's big enough. I asked someone to redo it. I built a small movie projection room upstairs. I'll use my connections to get movie reels. I asked someone to partition the house in the middle courtyard and the backyard. I built six separate projection rooms. Movies will be shown upstairs, and videos will be shown in the back. I'll also sell some snacks and pastries. I can make a lot of money in a day."

Xu Damao asked, "Dad, is it possible to put so many things in one place?!"

Xu Wood replied: "Why not?! Anyway, we are affiliated with the Cultural Bureau, as long as we don't show those pornographic films, it will be fine."

"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Then Xu Damao reminded: "But I have to go to work. I can't take care of that. Can you and my mom do it?!"

Xu Wood said: "Your nephew graduated from junior high school and has been hanging around at home without a proper job. Your mother and I are thinking of asking him to help us."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and agreed, "That boy is quite clever. It's good to have him help in the store. I feel relieved when he's around."

Xu Wood said: "If your wife gives birth to more children, I won't have to worry about not having enough manpower."

After hearing what his father said, Xu Damao smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad, what's the point of having many children?! My sister has quite a few. But I don't think any of them are really promising."

"That's true!" Xu Wude agreed with a smile. Ever since Xu Damao's son was admitted to university, Xu Wude has been very proud. If it weren't for He Yuzhu's eldest son and Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi who were all admitted to university, Xu Wude would definitely have pulled He Daqing and Yan Bugui to praise his grandson.

"Ding ding!" He Yuzhu was pushing his bicycle and was about to enter the courtyard gate when he heard the car horn and stopped. Yan Jiekuang got off the bike and called out, "Brother Zhuzi."

He Yuzhu smiled and joked: "It turns out to be Boss Yan!"

"What kind of boss am I? I'm just a wealth carrier." Yan Jiekuang saw the things on He Yuzhu's bicycle and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, are you preparing a feast for someone?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I was bored at home, so I went to visit an old friend."

Yan Jiekuang asked, "Brother Zhuzi, what do you think about opening a restaurant?!"

He Yuzhu carefully looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Are you really planning to open a restaurant with me?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Of course it's true. I lied to others, how could I lie to you? Not only do I want to cooperate with you, but Lou Xiao'e also wants to cooperate with you."

Only then did He Yuzhu notice that there was another person behind Yan Jiekuang. The moment He Yuzhu saw Lou Xiao'e, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling. He felt that he had seen this woman somewhere before. At this time, Lou Xiao'e was also looking at He Yuzhu. Lou Xiao'e thought that this person was quite honest.

He Yuzhu hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Lou Xiao'e, do we know each other?!"
