NOVEL WEB Chapter 95
I have to say.
The trains these days are really too slow compared to what I saw in the past.
Especially between Guangzhou and Sijiucheng, there are dozens of stops, and they have to stop at each stop to wait for people, so that when He Daqing and his companions returned to Sijiucheng, it was already three days later.
""Dad, stepmother, you're back!"
Sha Zhu, who was cracking hard-boiled eggs in the bun shop, saw He Daqing and the others and hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"Zhuzi is still busy. This is a Rolex watch that your father and I bought for you in Shanghai. Do you like it?"
After seeing Shazhu, Chen Xueru took out a beautifully packaged watch from her bag and handed it to Shazhu with a smile, which made him very happy.
The watch was bought by Chen Xueru specifically for Shazhu.
After all, when you go out, you must buy a gift for your child and bring something back.
Otherwise, if this matter gets out, who knows what others will say about her as a stepmother.
Of course, the Rolex watch that Chen Xueru bought for Shazhu is definitely not the 18K Rolex gold watch used by Hong Kong Island gangsters to run away, but a steel mechanical watch with only a little gold plating on the hands.
But even so, the price of this watch is not cheap. It cost Chen Xueru more than 190 yuan, which is more expensive than a bicycle.
There is no way around it.
Because most of the watches of this era are foreign watches. For example, the Shanghai watches mentioned in later generations, there is no watch factory built now, so where can you buy Shanghai watches?
Even Even in 1958, when the Shanghai Watch Factory was completed, ordinary people could not buy Shanghai watches. This was because in the first year of the Shanghai Watch Factory, the production of watches was extremely low.
From the completion of the watch factory in April to the end of 1958, a total of 13,600 Shanghai watches were produced, most of which were allocated to industrial and commercial administrative personnel. Ordinary people could not buy them even if they wanted to.
However, the successful development of the Shanghai watch completely ended the history of Chinese people being able to repair watches but not make them.
There is even a saying that when the Shanghai watch was first developed, there was no technology to produce and manufacture watches in the country.
So the senior technical workers from 13 watch factories and several watch repair masters were specially selected to use pure manual polishing to manufacture watch parts, and finally assembled 18 watches.
These 18 watches are the first batch of Shanghai watches, which are of great significance.
Of course, these are things that have not yet appeared, so it’s better not to talk about them now.
"Thank you, stepmother!"
After Sha Zhu took the watch, he thanked her happily, then opened the watch box, took out the watch from inside, put it on his wrist, looked left and right, and was so excited.
"As long as you like it!"
Chen Xueru said happily when she saw that Sha Zhu liked it.
She was quite satisfied with He Daqing's two children. After all, they were obedient and sensible, and they had no aversion to her as their stepmother and had enough respect for her.
This was enough for Chen Xueru.
He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu who was happily fiddling with the watch and asked,"Is there nothing going on in the store while I'm away for a few days?"
"Hey, what could be the problem?"
When Sha Zhu heard He Daqing's inquiry, he said without even raising his head,"There are two restaurants in Xidan who also want to purchase our tea eggs, but the price they offered is a bit low, so I didn't agree. They said they would wait until you come back."
He Daqing didn't find it strange to hear this.
After all, the tea eggs from Lao He's Baozi Shop are now famous throughout the city, and countless people come here to try them.
But the quantity is limited, so if you want to buy one, you have to queue up.
If you don't want to queue up, you can only go to those restaurants that have cooperated with Lao He's Baozi Shop.
When you eat, buy two to try.
This has led to the fact that the restaurants that sell He's tea eggs have a much more prosperous business than before.
Seeing this, other restaurants naturally followed suit and wanted to buy two buckets of tea eggs from Lao He's Baozi Shop every day to attract customers.
So they often... There are restaurants and hotels coming to discuss cooperation.
If He Daqing had not been low-key and intentionally controlled the number and scale of tea eggs, he would probably have directly led the trend in the city and driven up the price of eggs in the city single-handedly.
This is the charm of He's tea eggs. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Blame it on the fact that he was born in the wrong era.
If it were any other era, he would have probably hired a dozen people and done nothing but sell tea eggs every day. With a recipe for tea eggs, he could achieve a small goal.
He Daqing nodded and said,"Well, that's good. Since they think the price of our tea eggs is high, let them make it themselves."
Asking for flowers
"Anyway, we don’t have trouble selling our tea eggs. The current scale is enough. If we continue to expand, it will not be a good thing for our bun shop."
"You know, a tall tree attracts the wind, keeping a low profile is the best way to go……"
He Daqing always thought that his tea eggs were priced at a reasonable price of 20 cents each.
Some restaurants bought tea eggs from him at 15 cents each, made a simple dish, put four eggs on a plate, and named it"Four Happiness Tea Fragrance Eggs", and then dared to sell it for 5 yuan a plate.
Even so, they complained that they were selling it too expensive. Damn it, if you think my price is too high, why don't you sell it cheaper?[]
Do you really think I'm begging you to buy goods?
Now you're begging me to sell goods, okay?
He Daqing curled his lips in his heart, disdaining those restaurant purchases that didn't understand the formalities.
In business, if you can't even figure out which party is the real demander and which party is taking the initiative, it's strange that this business can last long.
"I know, it's just that a big tree attracts the wind, so you should keep a low profile, I understand!"
Before He Daqing finished speaking, Sha Zhu spoke directly and interrupted.
He had heard this from He Daqing many times, and he could almost recite it by heart.
Although he didn't know what his father had been worried about.
But Sha Zhu also knew that in some things, it would not be wrong to listen to his father.
""Okay, as long as you know, you can make tea eggs first. Your stepmother and I have been sitting on the train for two or three days and we are exhausted. Let's go and rest for a while."
He Daqing was not angry when he heard Sha Zhu interrupting. He just smiled and gave an order, and then took Chen Xueru to the backyard with luggage.
For more than four months, as Sha Zhu's father, he lived with Sha Zhu day and night and never stopped educating him.
After all, he was just a half-grown child of fifteen or sixteen years old.
As long as the right method is found, it is very easy to change his mind.
Not to mention that now that their family has moved out of the Siheyuan, without the influence of the group of people in the Siheyuan, He Daqing's education work on Sha Zhu has been smoother. Otherwise, he would not be able to rest assured to hand over the bun shop to Sha Zhu to run it when he was away for more than ten days.
