Chapter 540: Sister's Grocery Store Opens (1/2)

At this wine party, Li Duoyu also drank too much, which was rare. Everyone also put their arms around each other and started to collude.

After drinking, some leaders in the county were still rushing to pay the bill, but their way of paying the bill was quite special. They went directly to the restaurant owner to place the order, that is, they wrote a IOU.

This reminded Li Duoyu of his previous life. There was actually a restaurant in their town that these leaders kept placing orders for, and he was owed hundreds of thousands.

As a result, after a new leader was appointed, he immediately refused to acknowledge the debt, and eventually the restaurant closed down.

Even if the hotel owner went to the imperial capital, he couldn't solve the problem. Later, it seemed that he couldn't even leave the town. As soon as he went out, someone would immediately receive the news.

Seeing the boss's grimace but helpless look, Li Duoyu grabbed the chance to settle the bill in cash before they placed the order.

Li Duoyu's behavior of grabbing the bill also made several leaders a little unhappy: "Director Li, you are looking down on us. Boss Xu, please refund the money quickly."

Li Duoyu smiled: "No, how can I have the nerve to ask my boss to pay for it? After all, I am also the boss of a company. If this gets out, everyone will think I am stingy."

The hotel owner smiled with a smile on his face and said helpfully: "This young boss makes a lot of sense. If the boss has no money, why should he be called boss?"

After paying the money, several comrades also proposed to go to a nightclub to dance and sing, but Li Duoyu politely refused on the grounds that he wanted to go home and pay public food.

Although Li Duoyu is a little disgusted with these people, it is understandable. After all, the general environment is like this, and everyone follows the same example.

After drinking.

Li Duoyu and Chen Jianghe were sitting next to an inland river in the county. Chen Zhishu felt very uncomfortable in his stomach. He dug his throat with his hands and vomited out everything he had eaten tonight.

After vomiting, Chen Jianghe felt as if he had saved his life. He sat depressed on the stone steps by the river: "Why do you have to drink at every dinner? I vomited out everything I ate. It was nothing." "

He comes from a poor family, and he may not be able to have such a sumptuous meal every few months. The dishes in it are something he would never dare to think about.

Although there is no famous dish like Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, there are seven-star belly, white chopped chicken, egg drop beef soup, and fried Xi Shi tongue. They are all not cheap dishes.

Li Duoyu, who had long been used to it, said calmly: "It's easiest to tell the truth after drinking, and it's also easiest to enhance feelings."

Chen Jianghe was silent for a while and looked at Li Duoyu curiously: "It's strange. You drink more than me. Why do you seem to be fine at all?"

Li Duoyu smiled, he was covered in secrets all over his body, and even if he drank, he didn't dare to let go completely.

However, in this era where "Looking for Qin" has not yet been published, even if he said he came from time travel after drinking, these people may not know what time travel means.

Li Duoyu said casually: "Because I am blessed by Mazu."

Chen Jianghe snorted: "I believe you, Mazu will bless your drinking ability? I found that you especially like to use Mazu as a shield."

"Zhishu Chen, you can't say that. Mazu is not our shield, she is our goddess."

At this moment, from the second-floor window behind them, a woman yelled and cursed: "Goddess, you are a bastard. If you want to vomit somewhere else, it stinks so much. Don't chat downstairs in my house at night." "

After saying that, a basin of water was poured directly towards the two of them. Li Duoyu, who was still awake, dodged in time.

Chen Jianghe, who was a bit drunk, was half-drenched with what might have been bath water. He cursed angrily on the spot: "Dian Po, come down here. Do you know who we are? You dare to pour bath water on us."

"No matter who you are, if you disturb my sleep, I will piss on you. If you don't leave, I will piss on you."

Li Duoyu was also dumbfounded. Although he had long heard that women in the county had stronger personalities, he had seen it today.

Although they were wrong about this, this woman did cross the line. Li Duoyu was not good at scolding, but when it came to hurting others, he naturally learned a lot under the influence of his second sister-in-law.

"Oh my, the bath water is so smelly, it hasn't been washed for how many days, and the woman is so dirty. In my opinion, it's because there is no man in the family, or your man doesn't want to sleep with you at all."

When Li Duoyu said this, he didn't expect someone in the residential building behind him to respond. An old man smiled and said, "Young man, you really guessed it right. She really doesn't want a man."

Maybe Li Duoyu really stepped on the opponent's tail this time, and the person turned black with anger and turned around.

Realizing that something was wrong, Li Duoyu quickly pulled Chen Jianghe away. Sure enough, as soon as he ran out, a chamber pot was thrown at them.

After seeing this scene, Chen Jianghe was instantly relieved. If he was hit by the contents of the chamber pot, he would definitely be sick for several months.

Chen Jianghe looked at Li Duoyu in front of him and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Director Li, you are still the best."

But just after I finished speaking, maybe because I smelled the smell of those yellow and white things, I lay down by the river and continued to vomit.

Li Duoyu patted his back and said, "If you don't know how to drink, drink less next time. There is no need to hurt your body."

Chen Jianghe sighed: "I can't help myself. Everyone here today is my leader. They come over to propose a toast. Do I dare not to drink? Besides, the atmosphere is good today. If I don't drink, it will be really disrespectful."

After Chen Jianghe finished vomiting, he couldn't help but say: "To be honest, Director Li, I really envy you."

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly, and under the influence of alcohol, he said: "What do I have to envy? I have suffered for many years to have this shitty luck. Even now, it seems like I am living in a dream. I live in fear every day, afraid that this dream will end."

Chen Jianghe didn't understand a little, but it didn't matter. He told Li Duoyu his story for the first time.

"I came from Digua County. The village is very poor. It is not suitable for growing rice. The whole village used to grow sweet potatoes.

Your island at least has seafood to eat, but we have been eating sweet potatoes since we were young. We are really tired of eating them.

When I was a child, I vowed to make a name for myself and live a good life, so I studied harder than others.

But since I started working, I found that it was not the case.

Speaking of which, the reason why I agreed to go to your Xiasha Village with County Magistrate Zhang was that he was willing to help me, but I didn't expect that I would step into a big pit. Now no one is willing to transfer me back."

Chen Jianghe gritted his teeth and said, "If the cleanup was done more thoroughly back then, everyone would be on the same starting line, and I would not have lost so badly."

Li Duoyu was surprised and said, "You dare to say this, aren't you afraid of being taken away for questioning?"

"I am still conservative. Those students are even more ruthless now and dare to say anything."

Li Duoyu did not continue the topic. If people live long enough, they will see some things more clearly.

People of every generation are not satisfied with the present. People living in this generation are full of complaints about this generation, but Li Duoyu thinks that this generation is the fairest generation.

As long as you are willing to study, you will be arranged a job. As long as you are willing to start a business, the government will support and subsidize you.

Li Duoyu patted his shoulder: "Work hard, and you will have a chance in Xiasha Village for a few years."

Chen Jianghe smiled and said: "It depends on Director Li whether he will give me this opportunity."

"You have to fight for the opportunity yourself."

"I understand, Director Li, I will work hard."

At this time, a woman of the same age as Chen Jianghe came over. She was not stunning, but she had a good temperament.

When Chen Jianghe saw this woman, he was instantly nervous and became silly on the spot: "How did you know I was here?"

Li Duoyu had heard him say that there was a partner in the county, and the woman in front of him should be his partner.

The woman said, "I heard from my colleagues that you went out drinking with your boss. I looked for you nearby for a while before I found you."

Chen Jianghe scratched his head and said, "I drank too much today and didn't dare to look for you right away." The woman frowned slightly, then smiled and looked at Li Duoyu: "Director Li, thank you for taking care of Jianghe."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Zhang Xiuqin?"

The woman was a little surprised: "Director Li knows me."

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Secretary Chen is always talking about you. He tells everyone how good you are. It's hard not to know him."

Zhang Xiuqin blushed slightly and glared at Chen Jianghe: "Don't keep talking about me outside."

Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "No, I only said it once or twice."

In the middle of the night, two men and one woman were walking by the river. The atmosphere became a little awkward. Li Duoyu, who became a light bulb, quickly said, "Secretary Chen, the commendation meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. You might as well stay in the county for the next two days so that you can pick us up at that time."

Chen Jianghe thought about it.

"Then I'll trouble Director Li for the next two days."

Just as he was leaving, Chen Jianghe turned around and gave Li Duoyu a thumbs up. He felt that Director Li was really a good person.

After Li Duoyu had gotten rid of the alcohol on the fishing boat, he sailed back to the island. Now, no matter how late it was, as long as he could go home, he would naturally go home.

Unexpectedly, after returning home, Zhou Xiaoying had not slept yet, but sat on the desk and continued to learn English.

Li Duoyu couldn't help asking, "Are you planning to be an English teacher?"

Zhou Xiaoying smiled and didn't answer. She felt that Duoyu's business would definitely grow bigger in the future, and learning more would help him better.

She never wanted to experience the embarrassing situation of looking up the meaning of English words in the dictionary on the spot again.

"I made you some chicken soup porridge. If you drink, eat some at night. Your stomach will feel better."

Li Duoyu couldn't help hugging her from behind. Just when she wanted to be dishonest, Zhou Xiaoying got angry on the spot: "Go take a shower quickly. You smell like cigarettes and alcohol all over your body."

"By the way, you have been too busy recently. I have something to tell you. Sister's grocery store will be officially opened tomorrow. You have to go and support it."

"That's for sure."

In the end, Sister listened to his advice and did not open a store near the pier and school. Instead, she temporarily converted the first floor of her house into a store.

Although the location is not very good.

But Li Shuihua found that there are many benefits. First of all, it saves the cost of renting a store.

Now, she can open a store and take care of three children at the same time. This place is very close to her mother's home. If something happens, they can take care of each other.

The children can also play together. When she is busy, her mother can help him take care of the baby.

The things sold in Sister's grocery store are different from those in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative sells mostly cloth, clocks, light bulbs, shoes, melon seeds, candies, and some soy sauce, flour, rice, etc.

Ajie's grocery store is not big. At Li Duoyu's suggestion, it mainly sells children's things.

Such as exercise books, pencil cases, pencils, and all kinds of candies, melon seeds, and small packages of snacks.

Before the store was officially opened, the fat boy Li Haoran went to Shuihuagu's house every day, wishing he could live in the store.

In fact, Li Duoyu especially liked the "cat ears" snacks in her store, which tasted crunchy and fragrant.

It was also good to eat with wine.

Of course, in addition to snacks, Sister also sold some cigarettes, beer, cola, soy sauce, shrimp oil, etc., which were small but exquisite. Sister didn't sell those big things.

The main reason was that it was troublesome to purchase goods. If you want to sell big items, you have to sail a boat to transport them. By then, you may not be able to get the shipping fee back.

My brother-in-law also took two days off because of the store opening. During these two days, my uncle Chen Dongqing took care of the shrimp farm.

On the day when the grocery store officially opened, in order to support Sister, Li Duoyu simply became a salesperson.

Uncle Mao also shouted on the radio: "A new grocery store has opened in our village. We are offering a big discount on the first day of opening. We are not making money, but we are offering a 20% discount on everything. If you want to buy something, hurry up and go to Li Shuihua's store to have a look."

Although the location is not good, many villagers still came after the broadcast, and saw Li Duoyu working as a salesperson there.

When everyone arrived at the store, they bought things without caring whether some things were useful now.

Some people bought three bowls even though they didn't need bowls at home, and some people bought soy sauce even though they didn't need soy sauce.

Some people usually don't want to buy snacks for their children, but this time they bought half a pound of melon seeds.

In less than half a day after opening, most of the things in the store were sold.

Ajie's smile never stopped, and she kept greeting the villagers who came to buy things.

"Take care, come again next time."

But she also knew that the reason why the business was so good was because his brother helped him sell things in the store, and it would be difficult to have so many people in the future.

On this day, Li Shuihua's grocery store was doing very well, but the supply and marketing cooperative seemed a little deserted.

Several female salespeople from the supply and marketing cooperative said, "It's too unfair for us that Director Li supports his sister like this."

A salesperson named Zhang Li said, "That's his sister. If he doesn't support her, how can he support us?"

After she said that, everyone felt that it made sense. One of the salespeople sighed and said, "Sister Li, do you think our cooperative should still be contracted?"

Zhang Li shook her head and said, "It's better not to contract it. I heard that after many places were contracted, the new bosses immediately laid off the original salespeople and replaced them with their own people."

"It's so cruel. It's better not to contract it. At least we are still receiving state wages now."

"It's only a matter of time before it is contracted. The general environment is like this. Everyone has I didn't notice that the director of our cooperative hasn't come to our store for a long time."

"It seems to be true."

A female salesperson named Chunli frowned and said, "It's better to wait until I get married before contracting it out. Otherwise, it's really hard to get married without a job."

"Chunli, the stone next door to your house is in very good condition. Not only is his family rich, but he is also very motivated. Why don't you try to date him?"

Chunli said with a dark face, "What the hell, you don't know who that stone likes, right?"

"Who does he like?"

Chunli said helplessly, "He has liked older people who have children since he was a child, the kind who are skinny and don't have much meat on their bodies."

"You mean Teacher Shanshan, but she hasn't divorced yet, isn't this messing around?" (End of this chapter)
