Chapter 2707: A Big Show
"Stop dreaming. I'll be content with a house. I can collect 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in rent a month, which is enough for our retirement." Zhou Yueyun was quite satisfied. She didn't have such big ambitions.
Du Guoqiang smiled honestly, "You still have to have dreams. If we can have a villa, we can come here to retire. It's really good here, with good medical conditions."
"What's good here? It's small and crowded, and the air is not good. It's better to go back to my hometown to build a house, grow vegetables and raise a few chickens and ducks. Eat green food to keep healthy and won't get sick." Zhou Yueyun objected.
She had planned it long ago. No place is better than the grass nest in her hometown. If it weren't for her son's good prospects, she wouldn't struggle in Pingjiang, let alone buy a house in Hong Kong. If it was just her and Du Guoqiang eating and drinking, and living a leisurely life in the countryside, how could it be so hard now.
"Okay, you are still young now, and it's too early to retire. Maybe in a few years you won't like the houses in Hong Kong and want to buy houses in places like New Zealand and the Netherlands!" Ye Qingqing joked.
As for the living environment, New Zealand and the Netherlands are better, with fresh air and pleasant scenery. Now many people have immigrated there, but she only likes to stay at home. No matter how good the outside world is, she will not feel comfortable. She can go traveling, but she will definitely not adapt to living there for a long time.
Du Guoqiang and his wife smiled embarrassedly, not taking Ye Qingqing's words to heart. They never thought about buying a house abroad. They couldn't understand the language there. If they went there, they would be like blind people. They would be slaughtered like pigs by foreigners. They would not go there.
To celebrate their purchase of a house, they went to the most famous restaurant in Hong Kong for lunch. It was called Jieyuanlou. It is also an old brand with a history of more than 100 years. It is said that the plaque was written by Jieyuan. It is impossible to verify whether it is true or not, but the food in this restaurant is really delicious.
Ye Xunmei is a frequent visitor to this restaurant because he often writes food articles to promote some of the food he eats in the streets and alleys, from restaurants to small stalls set up by grandmas in the alleys. As long as he thinks it is delicious, he will introduce it. He is quite famous in Hong Kong.
Many dishes of Jieyuanlou were written by Ye Xunmei. First, he really liked the dishes of this restaurant. Second, it was a business cooperation. He helped to promote it, so he must have received a commission.
Thanks to this old man, Ye Qingqing had the VIP card of this restaurant, and the old employees of the restaurant knew her.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, the lobby manager greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"I haven't eaten here for almost a year. I brought my friends here today. Do you have a private room?" Ye Qingqing asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Lu must have a private room when she invites friends. Wait a minute, I will arrange it for you."
The manager personally took them to the private room and was very attentive. Lin Baiwei and Zhou Yueyun were a little surprised. They saw it yesterday. Ye Qingqing's status here seemed to be not low. Could she be the daughter of a wealthy family in HK?
Although they were very curious, Ye Qingqing didn't take the initiative to say it, so of course they were embarrassed to ask, and they were itching in their hearts.
The dishes came up quickly, and they lived up to their reputation. Although they were not the spicy flavors Zhou Yueyun and her husband liked, they still enjoyed the meal very much.
"It's delicious. I've eaten Cantonese food before, but it didn't taste good. It seems that what I ate was not authentic." Zhou Yueyun wanted to eat more, but she held back. She had to lose weight.
"This is a century-old brand. If it's not delicious, people will smash its reputation." Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
The manager came in again, smiling, "Mrs. Lu, what a coincidence, Mr. Ye also came to eat with a few old friends. He heard that you have friends, so he didn't come."
