It turned out that after dinner, Sheng Guoer went to call Xiao Tao and Lin Muyan from the medical clinic. When Lin Muyan heard that it was Sheng Guoer who invited them to play, they all accepted the invitation. Xiaotao was even more excited.
But the two of them had a lot of fun, and Xiaotao and her brothers and sisters quickly became good friends through playing, and they planned to go to the Yuelongjian lake to catch some goldfish for fun.
But unexpectedly, when the ice surface was cut open, there was still flowing water underneath. Xiao Tao accidentally fell into it! Sheng Shi had quick eyesight and quick hands. He threw himself on the ground and grabbed Xiao Tao's hand. Then Lin Muyan also stepped forward and grabbed Sheng Shi's feet tightly.
Sheng Guoer hurried over and everyone was crying. Sheng Guoer thought about it calmly and said, "Sheng Shi, don't let go yet, I'll find a way!"
Sheng Guoer's eyes were a little flustered when he said it, and Sheng Shi shouted: "Sister, Xiaotao is jumping and hitting me, I can't catch him anymore!"
Sheng Guoer shouted: "Xiao Tao, open your hands and hold on to the ice and don't move. My sister will come to save you right away!"
When Xiaotao heard Sheng Guoer's cry, she calmed down a little and stopped beating around.
Sheng Guoer had an idea and said, "Quick, everyone, please untie your belts. Mu Yan, tie the belts around Sheng Shi's waist. Everyone tied their belts to each other, then sat on the ice with their legs straightened. Pull them back little by little!”
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly took off their belts and followed the plan. After that, Sheng Guoer shouted: "Pull!"
Everyone worked hard together and finally pulled Xiaotao up.
Everyone took a breath, and Sheng Guoer said: "Xiao Tao, Sheng Shi, Mu Yan, don't stand up, crawl over here!"
Xiaotao, her brother Sheng Shi, and her senior brother Lin Muyan slowly crawled over according to Sheng Guoer's instructions.
Sheng Guoer pulled Xiao Tao into her arms, and Xiao Tao burst into tears. Sheng Guoer comforted Xiao Tao and said, "Zhou Rui, go and light the fire!"
Zhou Rui nodded and hurriedly went to light the fire. Sheng Guoer said: "Miss Tie, Xiao Tao has fainted. Come over and check Xiao Tao's physical condition!"
Tie Ruxin hurriedly stepped forward and felt Xiaotao's pulse. After a while, Tie Ruxin relaxed her brows and said, "It's okay, she was just overly frightened and was stimulated by the ice water, which made her temporarily dizzy. She'll be warmed up in a while. It’ll be okay!”
By this time Zhou Rui had already lit a fire and invited everyone to come over and warm themselves up.
This trip made everyone happy and a bit thrilling. Now they were all tired. After drying their clothes, everyone went back home.
It was already approaching evening when we arrived at Dongxiang Village. Sheng Guoer said, "You guys don't want to go back today. You can just stay here for one night and go back tomorrow."
Xu Yunchan looked embarrassed: "When I came here, I just said that I went to my uncle's house and didn't report it to my father."
Tie Ruxin smiled and said: "Cousin, is it possible that you are confused now? My mother knows that you are here. If my uncle asks, my mother can answer it correctly."
Xu Shuxin also said: "I don't care. My aunt doesn't like me now, so she won't ask where I go."
Sheng Guoer said: "Okay, it's rare for everyone to gather together today, and it happens to be that Xiao Tao turns a bad thing into a good one. Let's have hot pot tonight!"
"Hot pot?" Xu Shuxin asked, "How do you eat a hot pot?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "It's not a pot on fire. You'll know later."
When the pot, vegetables, mutton and other items were served, Xu Shuxin said: "Isn't the hot pot you are talking about the antique soup?"
Antique soup is the ancient name for hot pot. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already a wok, which is the predecessor of hot pot.
Sheng Guoer said: "You are right, but my antique soup is different from what you often eat!"
I saw Sheng Guoer put the hot pot base ingredients that had been fried with chili, mutton oil and other substances into the pot. Suddenly, the pot was filled with bright red, and a fragrance went straight to the heart, and the billowing heat reached the roof. It's already three minutes hot after eating.
Sheng Guoer said: "Look at this mutton, you need to cut it into pieces, pick it up, put it in and rinse it three times and two times. It can't be too long, otherwise the meat will become old."
Then, Sheng Guoer took out the seasoning, sighed and said, "It's a pity that I can't make soybean curd now. When the weather gets warmer in spring, I will add some tofu and make some soybean curd. It will be even better if I add fermented bean curd juice." eat."
Everyone was dumbfounded by this statement. First, they had almost never eaten antique soup, because it was not very popular in ancient times. Second, even if Xu Shuxin had eaten antique soup, she did not eat it like this.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Try it quickly, my hot pot base is quite good!"
Xu Shuxin felt more and more that Sheng Guoer was extremely smart and could come up with so many weird things.
Everyone took a bite of the mutton according to Sheng Guoer's words, and their taste buds bloomed in an instant.
The hissing and chewing sounds kept sounding, and some people even started to sweat after eating. Xiao Tao said: "Sister, I make you sweat more after eating this than anything else. I'm not cold anymore!"
Mrs. Shen scolded from the side: "What's more, if it weren't for your sister and these brothers and sisters, you would have died a long time ago. You are not allowed to go to the lake to play by yourself in the future!"
Xiaotao said coquettishly: "I know, mother!"
As soon as we eat the hot pot, the atmosphere immediately rises. Everyone's face was red and they were eating happily.
Sheng Guoer thought of Meng Xingzhou at this moment, and thought it would be great if she had a smartphone and WeChat. She could take photos and send them to Meng Xingzhou to share the happiness together.
The only thing that Sheng Guoer was not used to in ancient times was the backward communication methods.
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that if she had the chance, she would really like to study power generation so that she could have electricity gradually.
It is said that when I was studying, I learned a way to generate electricity, but I just had to plant some potatoes.
After Sheng Guoer came up with this idea, she made some plans in her mind.
Sheng Guoer put meat into it and asked, "Hey, sisters, do you know where potatoes are grown in our village?"
Xu Yunchan tilted her head and thought for a while and said: "It seems that Liushubao produces potatoes, and they produce thousands of pounds every season. They supply all the potatoes in our township. So Liushubao relies on potatoes to survive, and the whole village is a potato producer. of large households.”
Sheng Guoer said, "Which of you is more familiar with the people from Willow Castle?"
Tie Ruxin raised her hand and said, "Sister Guo'er, my father once cured their Zhengzheng disease, so my father should be able to speak."
Sheng Guoer knew clearly that if he wanted to win Willow Castle, he must answer the question correctly.
The plan in Sheng Guoer's mind began to take shape: open a pastry shop, build a power plant, open a school, open a milk tea shop, and open a restaurant. She thought about completing them in order. First, she would open a pastry shop, a milk tea shop, and a restaurant. Industries are the best sources of information collection, and then reserve talents and market information, and finally slowly expand the market and develop other businesses.
Fortunately, the matter of setting up a school has already taken shape, but it is still the same as before. Sheng Guoer wants to innovate the teaching methods and content. Naturally, this has to be discussed with Meng Xingzhou.
All in all, Sheng Guoer wanted to not only make her own family rich, but also help the people in the village to make a fortune.
Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Shen said, "Guo'er, your third and fourth aunts came to see me a few days ago."
Sheng Guoer asked, "What's wrong, mother?"
Mrs. Shen said: "Your third and fourth aunts are very grateful to you for giving them some land to build houses and farm. You also gave them so much money to use as capital for business. How about that? They plan to invite you over for dinner tomorrow. .”
Hearing this, Sheng Guoer was very happy. In the past, her family was the poorest and often had to receive help from her aunts and uncles. Now that she can give them money, to be honest, she feels very proud.
Sheng Guoer said: "It doesn't matter. I'll go there tomorrow, but it will be at night. I have to go to my cousin's house during the day to discuss something with him. Spring is about to start, and the business of the milk tea shop is going to be on track!"
Xu Shuxin asked: "Milk tea shop, what kind of milk tea shop?"
Sheng Guoer said: "It's just a small plan of mine. Let's discuss opening a pastry shop and restaurant later."
Xu Shuxin put down her chopsticks, nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to discuss it with you."
After finishing the meal, Xu Yunchan took the initiative to wash the dishes and Xiaotao went to help.
After a while, the table was cleared, and Mrs. Shen took out some candied fruits for everyone to eat, and made tea from the tea garden, and everyone sat together for a meeting.
Sheng Guoer is nicknamed "Board of Directors". No one understands what "Board of Directors" is. Sheng Guoer explains that it is just to discuss plans to make a fortune. Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Sheng Guoer took out the map of Ping'an Township again, ran her finger along the main street, and said, "The main street is Pingong Street, with restaurants on both sides. Going southwest is where Gan Linji is located, Yong'an Street."
Xu Yunchan interjected: "Everyone here sells pastries, and the shops are very expensive."
Sheng Guoer asked, "Do you think it's expensive to buy pastries?"
Xu Yunchan thought for a while and said, "It is indeed a bit expensive, especially Ganlinji. It is a time-honored brand, so it is naturally more expensive."
Sheng Guoer said: "You ate my mooncakes today. Do you think it tastes good or not? How does it compare with Ganlinji?"
Xu Shuxin nodded and said, "It's indeed more delicious than Gan Linji's. His recipe lacks something like yours."
Others echoed.
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Yes, I also bought various pastries from Ganlinji. You have also eaten Tieniu, right?"
Tieniu nodded and said, "That's right, but in good conscience, it's really not as delicious as Sister Guo'er's."
Sheng Guoer put away the map of Ping'an Township and said, "So, we have to investigate!"
"How to investigate, what to investigate?" everyone asked in unison.
Sheng Guoer said: "We need to investigate two parts. First, how many restaurants are there in Ping'an Township, what are their prices, how many customers are there every day, how many restaurants are smaller than restaurants, how much they can earn every day, and what the situation is like. Also, People’s favorite old shops are their profits and business methods.”
These words confused everyone present. Xu Shuxin said: "Can you make it simple?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and thought that she would just keep these plans in her heart from now on, and she wouldn't understand them if she told them.
So Sheng Guoer said: "Tomorrow, Shu Xin and Yun Chan will go to the countryside with me to investigate. I will do whatever I say. Tieniu drives!"
yes! The three of them responded in unison.
