Chapter 194 The Decision to Go to Beijing
Chapter 194 The Decision to Go to Beijing
Aunt Liu and Song Ersao were talking, and Song Laoer was also chatting with Uncle He.
Uncle He's family had several shops. When the father and son heard that Song Laoer's family was making money by selling sugar water, they wanted to cooperate with Song Laoer and set up a shop to sell sugar water.
However, after hearing that Song Lao Er had already cooperated with Miss He, they gave up the idea of using their own shops for cooperation and thought of finding a shop in Xiantao Mansion to cooperate with Song Lao Er.
However, it was too hasty to bring it up now, so Uncle He still planned to build a good relationship with his brother-in-law first.
Song Sanniang and He Yingying were also chatting happily. He Yingying also had a mission and wanted to build good relationships with her cousins, so the two sides agreed to communicate with each other.
Song Sanniang could see what her uncle and his friends were thinking, but now that she had opened three stores, she was a little short of manpower. Qin Haodong had a plan when he went out to investigate the market before, so it was not appropriate to rashly cooperate with others now.
It is better to wait until she has made her plans. She can open a shop and cooperate with her aunt's family. This way it will not affect the development of her own business and can also maintain the relationship with her aunt's family.
Mrs. Song packed some New Year gifts for Aunt Liu to take back. After seeing Aunt Liu off, Aunt Song's family and Aunt Song's family also came to say goodbye. Old Second Song wanted to keep his two sisters at home for a few more days.
Aunt Song smiled and said, "We would like to stay a few more days, but don't our second son and eldest sister's second son have to go back to work?
I was supposed to go back to the capital to work today, but now I have a day off, and since my whole family is out here, there are fewer people to do the housework, so I have to go back early."
Upon hearing this, Song Lao Er did not try to persuade them to stay any longer. Song Ersao also packed up some New Year gifts and gave them to the two aunts to take back. They did not refuse, so the two families hurried back as soon as possible.
Although the New Year is not over yet, the village is becoming less lively as people visit relatives and go out to work.
Song Laoer's family also began to pack their luggage and prepare to return to the capital. The family received too many New Year gifts and did not give away many. The New Year gifts they brought back to the capital alone filled up half a car.
Niu Laosan, the family's donkey cart, was brought back to the city, while Song Laoer and Qin Haodong drove the remaining two horse-drawn carriages carrying people and belongings to the dock to catch the boat.
After returning to the provincial capital, everyone became busy again. Master Hu also returned from her mother's home, and the four mothers and the others started classes again.
Time passes day by day, the breath of spring approaches, the branches are full of spring, new leaves quietly emerge from them, the green plants in the streets and alleys are full of vitality, and spring rain falls from time to time, nourishing all things.
Song Sanniang received a letter from Miss He, saying that she was going to Beijing to get married. After reading the letter, Song Sanniang thought for a while and made a bold decision. She wanted to follow Miss He's wedding team to Beijing and open a branch in the capital.
Since she had made up her mind, she wrote back to tell Miss He, and also wrote a letter to ask her to pass it on to Mr. He San. She wanted to cooperate with Mr. He San to open a branch in Beijing.
After sending the letter, she began to make preparations. First, she immediately bought four aunts and asked them to learn from their eldest aunt.
Miss He left after a week. A week was enough time for these aunts to get started, but she certainly didn't let these aunts come to Beijing.
She wanted to place four new aunts in the store in the capital, and then select three old kitchen workers from the two stores in the capital to follow her to the capital.
She told the kitchen staff that she was going to bring people to Beijing to open a branch, and asked who would go with her. She originally thought that if no one was willing, she would draw lots to decide.
Because most people have a stable mentality, they like to stay in a familiar and safe place, do not like to leave their hometown, are not afraid to leave their hometown, and have the idea of returning to their roots, always wanting to return to the familiar place where they were born and raised.
Unexpectedly, the eldest and second aunts were willing to go with them. They were now the head chefs, and their subordinates also wanted to go with them. Song Sanniang specifically asked the two of them,
"Aunt, Second Aunt, do you really want to go to the capital with me? Once we get to the capital, we won't be able to go home every two weeks like we do now.
I guess sometimes I can't go home once a year, and the climate in Beijing is different from ours. In winter, water freezes into ice, it's very cold, and it's very dry. I heard it's so dry that it makes your nose bleed."
My aunt thought about it and nodded firmly, "I want to go. My two sons are grown up. I used to stay in the village and never thought I could do anything. My world was the fields, the stove and the dishes.
But now I have come out, although I am still staying in the kitchen, but after I leave the kitchen, I can go wherever I want.
My world is the bustling streets and alleys, and now I have the opportunity to see a bigger world. I have made up my mind that since I have the opportunity, I will go and see it.”
Song Sanniang knew that her aunt was cheerful, capable, and courageous, but she didn't expect that she also had great ambitions in her heart. She smiled and replied, "Okay, then I will take my aunt to the capital to see the world. I have never been there either."
The second aunt acted on impulse. After thinking about it, she gave up the idea of going to the capital because she was worried about her little daughter. Song Sanniang could understand that.
Then they selected two more people who were willing to go to the capital. One of them was Aunt Xu, a widow whose whole family had caught a cold. Her husband and son all died of the disease, but she survived.
She was sold by her husband's family and changed several owners before finally arriving at Tianmi Mimi.
She likes working in the sweet place, no one bullies her, no one calls her a nemesis, she is alone here.
The other one is Aunt Gao, who also had a miserable life. She was sold by her family to a man who beat his wife. Later, the man became addicted to gambling and sold Aunt Gao out.
Aunt Gao was beaten so hard that she couldn't hear anything. Rich families looked down on her, and small families didn't like her either. In the end, she was bought by Song Sanniang, who also took her to see a doctor and nursed her back to health.
Although she was deaf in one ear, it did not affect her ability to work efficiently. In order to repay Song Sanniang's family, she worked harder than anyone else.
After deciding who to bring to the kitchen, Song Sanniang assigned a task to the kitchen staff to prepare a batch of seasonings for her to bring to Beijing. After that, the kitchen staff of the three Tian Mi Mi stores were very busy.
Qin Haodong was bound to leave with the other person, so Qin Yuanyuan stayed behind. After all, Qin Haoxi was still young and still wanted to have a relative by his side.
Originally, Song Lao Er wanted to go with him, but Song San Niang took into consideration that Song Er's wife was expected to give birth in three months.
She herself might not even see her brother being born, and her father would definitely have to look after her mother and take care of her, so she let him stay.
She also needed a second manager, and she planned to choose one from the three brothers Liu Zezheng, Song Zuren, Song Ming, Li Xian, and Han Changming.
She informed them first. They would be lying if they said they didn't want to go, but they were a little scared. After all, they were unfamiliar with the capital city, and anyone they met in the capital city would be a high-ranking official.
