Chapter 70 Business Is Booming

Chapter 70 business is booming

During the meal, Li Jianguo said, "Haitang, go to the clinic in the afternoon. If everything is all right, go to the market and buy a chicken. Make some chicken soup at night. Your school is too heavy. Make up for it during the holidays."

Li Haitang's heart warmed up and he agreed, "Okay. I'll go buy an old hen later, and I'll have chicken soup tonight. Sister liu and jin qiao will stay for dinner and then go back."

"We won't have dinner. Today is jin qiao's grandmother's birthday. Everyone has to go to work during the day. Our brothers and sisters have arranged to celebrate the old lady's birthday together tonight." Mrs. Sister liu's house was in the same tube-shaped building of lin peipei's house, not very far away.

"Oh, that's fine. If the old man's birthday is to be accompanied by the younger generation, then I won't keep you. Sister liu, you can bring some of the old man's favorite sweets from the shop later." Li Haitang warned Sister liu that he had nothing to say. The shop was well organized, and proper rewards were necessary.

Sister liu smiled and said, "Okay, my mom likes to eat pepper and salt. I'll take two pounds later."

"Two pounds is too little. There must be many people in the old man's birthday family. None of them is enough. Take five pounds. Other shortcuts or cat ears or whatever the old man likes to eat, take a few pounds each." Li Haitang was not a petty boss, and this little thing was not worth much, so she made up her mind.

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony." The crow's feet at the corner of Sister liu's eyes were deep.

After lunch, Li Haitang went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, then went to the clinic, and waited for the old doctor to confirm before going to the farmer's market. He bought an old hen from an old man whose teeth were almost gone, and some tonics such as dangshen and wolfberry from a pharmacy. When he got home, he chopped the chicken up and put it on the coal stove to stew.

After stewing the chicken soup, Li Haitang walked to the shop door and looked outside. The snow had not completely melted on the roadside two days ago. The howling cold wind made the doors and windows not tightly closed enough to brush. The sky was gloomy. This was another sign of snow or freezing rain. She did not need to trim her delicate eyebrows and frown. She looked at Li Jianguo, who was busy standing at the door. He asked, "Dad, are there many customers placing orders this morning?"

Li Jianguo placed the goods he was about to deliver on the tricycle and took the delivery slip from Sister liu. His tone was a little solemn, "The orders this morning are fine. They were ordered by shops nearby. Taoer and Hao Ran will be enough later. Many of the orders yesterday afternoon were far away. Brother liu and I are afraid we can't finish them today."

"The orders for these two days must be delivered today. It may snow or rain again at night, and it will be even harder to leave tomorrow. If we delay the business in the store, it will cause gossip. I'll borrow the tricycle from uncle wang next door later. Let Li Tao help you deliver the goods to a far place this afternoon. Hao Ran and I will take it to a nearby place." There was a slight smile in Li Haitang's cold eyes.

In business, there is a matter of integrity. The promise must be done within the stipulated time, so that the business can be done for a long time. She told Sister liu several times about this and told her to negotiate the delivery time with the other party when she took the order. She ordered as little as possible to let them take it away by themselves, and as far away as possible to reserve some time.

Li Jianguo put on a thick cotton hat, pulled the lock around his neck, and wrapped his face in it. Then he tightened his cotton jacket and said with a strong attitude, "You just caught a cold. Don't go outside to catch a breeze. If you really don't have time, you'll be responsible for placing orders in the shop and have Liu Fen deliver the goods to a nearby shop."

Sister liu, who had just finished sorting out a large stack of delivery orders, looked up and immediately answered, "Haitang, Hao Ran and I will go to deliver the goods later. I am much more familiar with the location of the shops around here. I can finish the delivery before the weather changes. You and Haowen will pick up the order at the shop and help us pack the goods."

"Okay." Li Haitang could not resist them, so she turned her attention to Li Tao, who was already fully armed and ready to leave, "Li Tao, there may be ice in some of the puddles on the road. Be careful when you ride. Don't go too fast."

"Yes, I know." Li Tao's head was like playing garlic.

After they set off to deliver the goods, Li Haitang and Lin Haowen prepared the goods one by one in order with the delivery orders. They did not stop for a moment. It was two hours after they were all sorted out.

Lin Haowen poured a cup of hot tea, his numb hands covering the cup for warmth, and his slightly green and tender face was full of smiles, "Sister hoi tong, there are not many orders this afternoon, and they are not far away. Everyone can relax tomorrow."

"Hehe, you're still so happy without an order?" Li Haitang took out the coal stove under the table and took a look at the honeycomb briquette inside. It was almost burnt out. She immediately changed a new coal briquette and went in.

Lin Haowen smiled, "It's not a good day. It's not safe to go out in the snow and hail. My mother always said that money can't be earned. It's good to be healthy and safe. We've earned so much money, so everyone should take a break from time to time."

Li Haitang smiled. This little brother of the Lin family resembled his mother the most. He was kind-hearted and gentle. His brother, colin Hao Ran, resembled his father. On the contrary, his elder sister, Lin Peipei, did not know who she inherited. She was much more vicious. Li Haitang often teased Lin Peipei. Maybe she inherited her grandmother from another generation. Every time she mentioned it, Lin Peipei really wanted to strangle her.

Just after drinking a cup of hot tea, Li Jianguo and Li Tao came back with a delivery. Li Haitang immediately brought them hot tea and asked them to roast by the fire, "Li Tao, after riding for so long, can you stand it?"

Li Tao poured half a bowl of hot tea, his eyes especially bright, as bright as the stars, "I can handle it. I'm not very tired. It's much easier than when we had a double fight at home."

Li Haitang agreed with his analogy, and she felt that the most tiring thing was the double robbery in the countryside. Now that she thought about it, she didn't have the courage to go down to the fields to cut rice and transplant seedlings. It was easy to go from extravagance to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to thrift.

Five people delivered the goods at a naturally fast speed, and they were all delivered before five in the afternoon. Before the weather changed, Li Haitang immediately sent Sister liu and her daughter home with the Lin family brothers, and she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

During the day, it was very busy. Lunch was prepared casually. At night, the dishes were usually a little more sumptuous. After a busy day, Li Jianguo and Uncle liu would drink a small cup of rice wine to warm themselves up. Li Haitang stir-fried the tip of a waxed pig's ear for them to drink, and made Li Tao's favorite braised sugar meat, a clear soup of cabbage, and of course a large pot of hot nutritious chicken soup.

Before eating, everyone had a big bowl of chicken soup. The old hen was very fat, and the four of them each had two big bowls of chicken.

Eating delicious chicken and drinking hot chicken soup, Li Tao squinted his eyes in exaggeration. It was such a great day. When he lived alone in Ping shan town, although he had enough money to buy meat dishes to eat, the taste he made was really like heaven and earth. He really missed the taste of the dishes made by sister haitang.

After eating and drinking, Li Haitang cleaned up the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen to get some hot water to wash them up. Then he added a cup of hot tea to them and sat at the table to chat with them.

The clock on the wall was set at exactly eight o' clock when the phone rang.

Li Tao, who was closest to him, immediately got up and was about to answer the phone when he suddenly remembered what happened last night. He stopped and turned to Li Haitang, "Sister hoi tong, go and pick it up. It should be brother jiang."

"Oh." Li Haitang put down his teacup and got up to answer the phone.

Li Jianguo glanced at his son with a subtle expression and asked about the situation for the first time, "Taoer, which brother jiang?"

"Dad, you don't know him. It's a friend of Sister hoi tong's. They're very close. They're from the capital. It's Instructor from her high school military training. She's a military student from the National defense university. Sister hoi tong also invested money in the factory that he and his friends opened." Li Tao blew up the other party's situation and added, "He's very handsome, he's super tall, at least 1.85 meters tall."

When Li Tao broke the news, Li Haitang had already talked to jiang chuheng. When they were in school, they were basically in contact by letter. They only called occasionally during the holidays. Today, Jiang Chuheng called to inform her that the pengcheng printing factory in Hushi had been doing well for the past six months. Ji Dongming invited them to a meeting and gathered together.

"Have you confirmed the time?" Li Haitang estimated that it would take three or four days to get things done in Yangcheng.

Jiang Chuheng's deep, smiling voice was exceptionally pleasant to hear. "The time is set for the fifteenth. It's just a week away. Xu Yueyang is working with the teacher on the project. It will take a few more days to finish, so the schedule has to be a little later."

"Oh, that's just right. I'm going to Yangcheng tomorrow. It's going to take me three or four days. Ji Dongming has just arranged this time." Li Haitang's eyes were sparkling, and they looked especially dazzling against the dim light.

She had a fever yesterday and was going to Yangcheng tomorrow. Jiang Chuheng frowned slightly. "What are you doing in Yangcheng?"

"Hehe, go find a clothing factory. As I told you in the letter, I opened a clothing wholesale store with a few classmates in the provincial capital. The business was really good. Last month, the store expanded to 400 square meters on the upper and lower floors. The clothing industry in Yangcheng is the fastest growing in the domestic market. As the region is close to Port city, the style of the clothing is also very fashionable. We want to go to the factory there and buy directly in bulk."

Li Haitang was telling the truth. After the shop expanded, she went through the supplier in Hushi and bought a lot of new styles of shirts. The sales were especially good, but the distance was too far and the transportation was too slow. She finally turned her attention to the neighboring province of Yangcheng.

Jiang Chuheng was also aware of the situation in Yangcheng, which was the beginning of the rapid development of manufacturing. Yangcheng's development speed was far ahead in the country, and now countless people dream of making a fortune every day, and many people really seized this opportunity to become rich quickly. He knew that Li Haitang's vision was a little ahead of the average person. He guessed that she was going south not just to look at her clothes, "There are too many people there. There are all kinds of people. You girls should be especially careful."

"Yes, I know. If I'm in a hurry, I'll take a bus from Yangcheng to Hushi."

"Okay."

After a few words with Li Haitang, Jiang Chuheng hung up. Today, he was still on the phone in the shop outside. After leaving the shop, he gathered his thick black down jacket, covered his head with his hat, blocked the snow outside, and strode home with thick snowflakes.
