Chapter 945: Why open a store? Go out to sea!

“How many things are there?”

“I have a tricycle at home. I can borrow Master Jiang’s as well. Is it enough for one trip?” Chen Hui asked.

“Not enough, I think it will take two trips.”

“Although your cabinets are not very high, there are several of them, and there are many partitions.”

“I also convinced my master, and he will go with me to install it later.” Huang Miao said with a smile.

“Master Huang is amazing! Now even Master Jiang can be called upon to do this.”

Chen Hui gave a thumbs up and complimented.

Huang Miao waved his hand. “He thinks I haven’t learned it well enough, and he’s afraid that if I do it on my own, I’ll ruin his reputation.”

Chen Hui couldn’t help laughing.

He went home and rode his tricycle to Jiang Houfa’s house to pull wooden planks.

Huang Miao and I each took a truck and transported all the wooden planks to the county town in two trips.

On the second trip, Jiang Houfa went along on a bicycle.

“Master Jiang, can you finish these cabinets in two hours?”

Chen Hui looked at the wooden boards piled up in the hall and felt that things were not that simple.

“Two hours?! I’ll give you five hours. If you can finish it, I’ll call you Master.”

“This is all delicate work. If you can finish it before dark, you’ll be considered quick.”

After the New Year, I rested for seven or eight days.

Jiang Houfa looked much more energetic and even had the patience to make jokes.

“So it’s too late to go home for dinner?”

“Then you guys go ahead and do it. I’ll go order some food and treat you guys to dinner at the state-owned restaurant tonight.”

As soon as Chen Hui finished speaking, Jiang Houfa immediately wanted to criticize him.

Considering that the Lantern Festival hasn’t passed yet, it’s still the Chinese New Year.

He restrained his tone and said, “Don’t waste that money, let’s go to my son’s house to eat later.”

Jiang Houfa’s family is very frugal.

There would be no good food to eat whether at his house or at his son’s house.

Hearing him say this, Chen Hui and Huang Miao both looked nervous.

“It’s too much trouble for the three of us to go. I have some acquaintances at the state-owned restaurant. It won’t be expensive.”

“You guys do it first, I’ll be back soon.”

After Chen Hui finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Jiang Houfa to react.

Huang Miao smiled with relief.

He took out the list he had written down from his pocket and changed the subject to Jiang Houfa:
“Master, this is Chen Hui’s request.”

“The one near this wall is wide, and the one on the other side is going to be made into a movable deck.”

“It means don’t nail it down. You can adjust it yourself later.”

Chen Hui went to the state-owned restaurant and booked a table for dinner.

By the way, I would like to inform Chen Yaozu that my bedding store will open at 9 o’clock in the morning on the 16th day of the lunar year with firecrackers.

Let him bring any aunt over to add to the fun.

“Open a shop? You’re a good fisherman, why would you open a shop?”

“I was just looking for you. When are you going to go out to sea? Can you help me get two big red seals back?”

“If you don’t have a big one, a smaller one will do.” said Chen Yaozu.

“Big red seal? Brother Xu wants it?” Chen Hui asked.

“You still remember him!”

“What did you say the last time I went to your house for dinner?”

“I said I would get him something rare when I go out to sea. It’s been so long.”

Chen Yaozu was too tired to complain.

Li Xu is one of his most important customers, and Chen Hui is his most important source of good goods.

He can’t afford to offend anyone.

“On the 16th, a store opened, and on the 17th, a friend got married.”

“Eighteen or nineteen. I’ll arrange to go out to sea and look for it for you.”

“I can’t guarantee that there will be a red seal, so I’ll try to get something good.” Chen Hui said as he counted the days.

“Okay, you must remember this! I’m still waiting for your fish delivery.”

Chen Yaozu emphasized again.

Go outside and have someone register Chen Hui’s appointment. “Got it, you remember it too! Nine o’clock in the morning on the 16th.”

Chen Hui emphasized it again.

He smiled at Tang Yuqiong who had just come in, and hurried back to the shop.

Carpentry is a delicate job, and although it may not seem like much, it is still very time-consuming to complete.

The three of us worked on it for an entire afternoon.

It was almost seven o’clock before all the containers were installed.

When Chen Hui brought Jiang Houfa and Huang Miao to the state-owned restaurant, most of the guests had left.

When Chen Yaozu saw someone, he immediately came out and said, “I thought you weren’t coming. Why are you so late?”

Chen Hui spread his hands, “It’s already this late as soon as I finish the work, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Hurry up and sit down. I’ll ask the kitchen to start the fire.”

Chen Yaozu said this and went into the kitchen to tell the chef to start cooking.

The three of them returned to the village after dinner. It was almost nine o’clock.

There is no electricity in Lin Jiao’s house, but the shop is equipped with electricity.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Huang Miao pointed at the lights in the store and said, “Sister-in-law must be waiting for you. Normally, it would have been closed at this time.”

“Wen Jing, this is exaggerating.” Jiang Houfa shook his head.

“Master Jiang, you were about the same when you were young.”

“You were so affectionate with Aunt Lian Ying, and then you told Huang Miao not to find a partner and to focus on work. This is not right.”

Chen Hui looked at Jiang Houfa and smiled teasingly.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m doing this for his own good!”

“Young people still need to make money first. Only when you have money can you have a good life.”

“He’s looking for a partner now. When he has money, he can choose his partner.”

After Jiang Houfa finished speaking, he rode away on his bicycle.

“I think my master is right.” Huang Miao said, speeding up the tricycle to catch up.

Chen Hui smiled and rode his bike to the store entrance.

He whistled at An Wenjing and said, “My beautiful choice, get in the car and go home!”

“coming!”

An Wenjing responded crisply.

He turned off the lights and the shop door, and took the store key back into the house.

After coming out and sitting in the back of the tricycle, Chen Hui took her home.

“Brother Chen Hui, how are things arranged today?”

An Wenjing patted Chen Hui’s shoulder gently.

“Everything has been arranged. I also informed Uncle Yaozu while we were having dinner.”

“Tomorrow is the thirteenth day of the lunar year. I plan to take another stroll in the county town. Sister Xiulian and the others will also join in the fun.”

“On the first day of a new store opening, it doesn’t matter how much you sell, but you have to see a lot of people.”

Chen Hui said as he pedaled his tricycle.

They are all wealthy people, and will definitely patronize the business if they come.

You don’t need to buy a lot, as long as the store can be busy in the early stages.

Passersby can always see Chen Huihong working, which gives people the feeling that the business is doing well.

“Sister Lihua has called a few teachers who are on good terms with her, and they will go with us that day.”

An Wenjing clapped her hands together gently, “I’m really looking forward to it. I wonder what that day will be like.”

“It’s not like we haven’t opened a shop before, so it’s just like that.” Chen Hui said with a smile.

“That’s different. Our grocery store is so small and it’s located in the village.”

“This time it’s in the county town, on the main street.”

“oops!”

An Wenjing was talking happily when she suddenly held her stomach with a serious expression.

“What’s wrong? Are you about to give birth?” Chen Hui stopped and asked nervously.

“It’s too early, it’s only been a few months!”

“But shouldn’t we go get a checkup? I remember there’s another one in the late pregnancy.”

“I heard that you can tell the gender of the baby after four or five months. Do you want to ask?”
