Shiniu Village.

Rental house.

After a friendly exchange, while my wife is in a good mood now, Liu Xiahui mentioned the things she had considered before and said: "Wife, I don't know when the epidemic will last. Now the restaurant business cannot continue. You and I have already understood the seriousness of online loans. You and I can no longer repay the loan with loans, otherwise the deeper and deeper the future, and you will never be able to reach the shore!"

When Tang Xiaomin heard this, his face became ugly and he complained: "Isn't it because you are not good at having a brain? In order to borrow 50,000 yuan, you would rather pay a 10,000 yuan interest. You dare to borrow such money that cheats. Isn't this your own fault?"

Liu Xiahui smiled bitterly and said, "I really didn't understand that this thing was so tricky at the beginning. Now it's meaningless to pursue it. Next, I'm going to find a way to solve this time bomb!"

If it were the past, Tang Xiaomin might have to make a few more sarcastic words.

However, the one just now was not a waste of time, and the effect was still somewhat, so Tang Xiaomin just frowned, then endured the words to continue digging, and asked, "What do you think you should do now?"

Although Liu Xiahui had already figured it out, as a man, he was so depressed that he wanted to sell his wife's gold and silver jewelry. To be honest, men with a little self-esteem were more difficult to speak.

If it were Liu Xiahui before rebirth, he would definitely not be able to speak out. However, after twenty years of rebirth experience, Liu Xiahui is now 56 years old. He is very clear that only by doing this can you hope to solve the difficulties you are facing now.

Therefore, although this matter felt quite embarrassing, Liu Xiahui said: "Wife, can you sell your gold and silver jewelry first and solve the problem of online loans? When I make money in the future, I will make up for it again?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiaomin's face suddenly became unstable.

In the past, I must have criticized Liu Xiahui, but today Tang Xiaomin's temper has become much more restrained. She took out the jewelry box she had collected from a suitcase without saying a word.

He opened the jewelry box and took a look, then handed it to Liu Xiahui after suffering pain.

Seeing Tang Xiaomin's appearance, Liu Xiahui felt bad, but everything he said was unnecessary, so he just silently took the jewelry box and gave his wife a hug.

...

It is naturally not difficult to sell gold and silver jewelry, but now it is the epidemic period, with martial law nationwide, and most of the shops in the city are closed down, and many gold and jewelry stores have been closed.

Liu Xiahui drove around the city for a long time in the tram before finally finding a gold and jewelry store that was still open. After a brief bargaining, he sold all the gold and silver jewelry that Tang Xiaomin had saved for 98,000 yuan.

With this money incurred, Liu Xiahui was relieved.

Although he owed nearly 200,000 yuan in online loans, this was not something that he had to pay it off at one time, and it was basically paid in twelve periods.

Of course, because I am not borrowing on the same platform, the repayment dates are different. Some have paid back several periods, some have just started paying back, and some have to only one or two periods left.

This leads to a relatively high repayment amount in the early stage, and will gradually decrease in the later stage. According to Liu Xiahui's estimate, the 98,000 yuan can only last for about three months.

Because in addition to repaying online loans, Liu Xiahui also has to count the cost of his two daughters going to kindergarten, the rent for the restaurant, and the rent for the rent.

In other words, during these three months, Liu Xiahui must have other inputs, otherwise after three months, he will inevitably return to the previous vicious cycle of repaying loans with loans.

Time is still very tight, mainly because I don’t know when the damn epidemic will pass.

...

Whether it is a parent or a child, I like to report good news but not bad news in many things.

For example, if your parents are sick, they don’t want to disturb their children who are busy working in other places. As long as they are not suffering from a disease that cannot take care of themselves, they will not easily tell their children. When they call, they will say that they are in good health and let their children not worry. The purpose is naturally to not want their children to struggle and affect their work.

The same is true for children. Many people are wandering outside, unless they are desperate, they are so poor that they eat instant noodles every day. When they call, they will tell their parents that they are doing well outside and let them not worry.

Of course, the parents and children referred to here do not include those weird parents and cheating children.

Liu Xiahui also likes to report good news but not bad news, so his current situation is that except for his wife Tang Xiaomin, his parents and sister, they actually don’t know that he owes so much online loans.

At present, Liu's father is still heartless and ignores everything at home. His daily life is to play mahjong, drink tea and brag with his friends, and occasionally have a few cups of interest, and his life is more relaxed than anyone else.

Liu's mother has been helping to take care of her granddaughter in recent years. As soon as the holiday last year, she took her two granddaughters back to her hometown for the New Year. As a result, because the epidemic suddenly hit, she has been staying in her hometown until now.

My sister is a small supervisor of a company in the provincial capital. Her monthly salary is not high, only about 7,000 yuan. Unless it is extremely saving, this salary is really not spent.

Rent for water and electricity RMB 1,000 per month.

Eat (including having dinner with your best friend) RMB 2,000 per month.

Relationships of people are 500 yuan per month.

Cosmetics 800 yuan/month.

Clothes, shoes, bags, 1,000 yuan per month.

Fruit 500 yuan/month.

The phone fee is 100 yuan/month.

There are also various daily necessities, aunt towels, beverages, mineral water, milk tea, desserts, etc., for 600 yuan per month.

For these alone, you will have to be 6,500 yuan in a month. If you count the purchase of clothes for your parents and niece, or occasionally get sick, the salary for that month will be very short.

So, if Liu Xiahui opens a restaurant, his sister can squeeze out 30,000 yuan to support him. That is undoubtedly true sister!

Unfortunately, Liu Xiahui's luck is really the fault. Shortly after the catering industry opened, it encountered an epidemic that has not been seen in a century. This really fits the saying: planning is for people and doing things is for heaven!

Liu Xiahui signed a three-year contract for this restaurant. It is obviously unrealistic to go to the landlord to cancel the rent at this time. The only way is to wait until the epidemic is controlled in China and then run this small restaurant well.

...

In a blink of an eye, it took a month for Liu Xiahui to return.

Over the past month, the epidemic has remained extremely tense.

It was not until April 8 that Jiangcheng announced the lifting of the lockdown that the whole country was truly relieved.

During this month, Liu Xiahui and his wife stayed in the rental house every day.

Because the body "suddenly" becomes stronger, coupled with no children quarrel around you this month and no worries about online loans, the rare world of duo has quickly heated up the relationship between the couple, as if they were back to the feeling they were in love.

In addition to improving his relationship with his wife, Liu Xiahui also made plans for the development of small restaurants.

The previous small restaurants had no obvious characteristics, they only focused on white cuts and home-cooked stir-frying.

Now, Liu Xiahui is preparing to focus on Bobaibai chopping and Bobai cold noodles. Both of these are famous delicacies in Bobai. As long as you become famous, you will never have to worry about not having business.

Needless to say, in the twenty years since his rebirth, Liu Xiahui started his business by relying on Bai Qi. Few people can match Bo Bai Bai Qi's skills.

As for Bobai cold noodles, it was the authentic delicacy collected by Liu Xiahui when he created the Guangxi rice noodles brand. It was Bobai Li Ji's bottom-up craft. Li Ji has been operating in Bobai for more than 40 years, and even opened the branch to the provincial capital, with a very hot business.

At that time, Liu Xiahui spent 10 million yuan to learn the boss's skills. His popularity in Guangxi rice noodle chain stores is not even inferior to Laoyou noodles, snail noodles and Guilin rice noodle, which are known as the three major Guangxi noodles.

Now, Liu Xiahui, who has returned, thought of this Bobai cold noodles at the first time, and there are three main reasons:

1. It is delicious and unique, and there are many potential customers in Yulin City.

2. The speed of producing flour is extremely fast. As long as you do the previous preparations, you can produce a bowl of flour in just four seconds, which has a natural advantage over other rice noodles.

3. Bobai cold noodles are not like Laoyou noodles, which are fried and cooked with chef skills. The technical content is all in the early preparation. As long as the preparation is done in the early stage, any person who does not know the cooking skills or even customers themselves can make Bobai cold noodles better than anyone else!

After deciding on the main delicacies of the restaurant, Liu Xiahui began to think about his mother and sister, and even arranged the work.

My mother is responsible for frying pork in her hometown and buying local chickens and ducks.

My sister is responsible for making the powder and cutting and mixing it when opening.

Therefore, after Jiangcheng was lifted, Liu Xiahui called his sister and told her what he planned. Finally, he said: "Sister, I feel that this is a big deal. Don't go to work in the provincial capital. Resign from his job and come back to help me!"

Liu Xiaxue responded without hesitation and said, "Yes, since you have confidence, then I will naturally help you!"

"Okay, sister, please go back to the provincial capital to handle your personal affairs first. After I rent the house, I will call you!"

"OK!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiahui immediately called his mother again, told the story again, and asked, "Mom, can you still buy local chickens and ducks in my hometown now?"

Jiang Shiyun replied: "It is difficult to buy local chickens and ducks now. Even if they are sold, the price is ridiculously expensive. It is really not cost-effective to buy them and make them cut into pieces. The cost is too high!"

Liu Xiahui thought about it and thought it made sense. He forgot that he no longer had the gold finger bonus now. If he really wanted to use the local chickens and ducks raised in the countryside to make white cuts, the cost would be too high, and there was not much profit margin, so it was really unpaid to do this!

In the end, Liu Xiahui decided not to be too ambitious first. Since it is difficult to cut it in a waste, it is not too late to make a good deal of Bobai cold noodles for the time being, and make some money before considering other things.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiahui said, "That's it, don't cut it in vain for now, and then make the cold noodles!"

...

There are four kinds of cold noodles learned from Li Ji: buckle, beef, beef brisket, and char siu.

Among them, beef, beef brisket and char siu are easier to make, but Liu Xiahui encountered some problems in making pork.

Because Li Ji's buckles must be fried with firewood in order to ensure the best taste, and it is not easy to find firewood in the city.

In the end, this matter has to be implemented in my hometown. Anyway, Liu Xiahui had this plan before, asking his mother to be responsible for frying pork and buying local chickens and ducks in her hometown.

Nowadays, there is no need to buy local chickens and ducks, so they specialize in fried pork and making char siu, and then ship them through small passenger cars from their hometown to the city every day. You only need to negotiate the price. I believe that the bus driver is very happy.

...

The urban village of Shiniu Village has just completed rectification. Some of the private buildings after building have not started to be renovated, and some have only been half renovated. Now, the landlord of Liu Xiahui is the fastest to decorate, but the basic decoration of the entire building has been completed, as well as those stair handrails, protective windows, etc. have not been renovated.

Therefore, there are still many free houses. Liu Xiahui naturally had no problem if he wanted to rent a big house. He told the landlord and signed a rental contract. Liu Xiahui moved to the two bedrooms and one living room next door with a large area, with a rent of 800 yuan per month.

After moving the homework over, my sister also returned here from the provincial capital with her luggage within two days.

After the sister settled down, Liu Xiahui began to teach her sister to make powder skin. This thing is "the difficult ones don't know, and the difficult ones don't know". As long as you master the tricks, you will naturally easily make powder skin with an excellent sense of excellence.

As for his wife Tang Xiaomin, Liu Xiahui doesn't expect her to help. Her main task is to pick up and drop off children, wash clothes, clean and so on.

Of course, it is best to help you run errands when you are free, purchase various spices, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.

Since Jiangcheng was lifted on April 8, Liu Xiahui has been busy preparing for opening.

It was not until April 17 that everything was ready. The restaurant, which has been renamed [Bobai Cold Mix], will officially resume business tomorrow!

To make Bobai cold powder, there are many things you have to prepare in advance tonight.

For example, the fried pork should be transported from my hometown and marinated for one night. The next day, add tomatoes, sour heads and lemons to the brine.

There is also a base marinade, which is made of more than a dozen plant spices such as star anise, cinnamon, and fennel for four hours.

All of these must be done in advance, otherwise it will be too late to do it tomorrow morning.

After all the preparations were made, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

As for his wife and sister, he had already called them to go back and rest, because they had to get up early in the morning to help because they had a new business opening tomorrow.

Locking the restaurant door, Liu Xiahui felt a little nervous when he walked back to the rental house, just like before, Reborn had his first time out to set up a stall.

Today is different from the past. I hope I can have a good start tomorrow, otherwise Liu Xiahui would not know how to face his wife and sister.

After all, one sold all the gold and silver jewelry for him, and the other quitted his job to help him!
Chapter completed!
