Ah Sheng could tell that the boss had a bad look on his face, but he couldn't figure out why. He turned to look at Xiang Wan and smiled: "Xiao Wan, how many watermelons do you have left? I want to buy some for my family to try this summer.

I bought one and it tastes terrible."

Peng Qingliang suddenly looked at Xiang Wan with bright eyes.

"There is only one left at home," seeing the two of them disappointed, he raised his lips to Wan: "But I can have more sent over."

Peng Qingliang pulled A Sheng away from him and looked at Xiang Wan with a "wretched" smile: "Xiao Wan, how many people can you give me? Look, you didn't get this watermelon back for me last year.

, I was so confused by the questions from the people above, what do you say this time, you have to get a few hundred more kilograms back for me."

Seeing that Peng Qingliang was talking about several hundred pounds and Xiang Wan was smiling broadly, Ah Sheng knew it was time for him to go out, so he turned around and left neatly.

"Are you satisfied with just a few hundred kilograms? What a pity. This time I had someone send me three thousand kilograms. What a pity."

Peng Qingliang jumped up on the spot, grinning almost to his ears. He pulled Xiang Wan's hand excitedly and said, "Three thousand pounds! Then I'll go get the money now. You sit here for a while."

"No, I'll probably send it here the day after tomorrow. Why are you so anxious? My dad said you have something to do with me. What's the matter?"

Only then did Peng Qingliang stop, turned around and went to the desk in the back room to get a document and put it in front of Xiang Wan, his brows and eyes full of joy.

This is the latest policy issued by the higher authorities to vigorously support people's business.

Xiang Wan looked at it carefully and then raised his head: "It seems that our previous decision was right."

"Not only that, it's quite correct. The workshop over at the factory has been built, and only the dormitory building is there. It will be completed at the end of next month. How are you doing with the design drawings here? I have contacted you about the machinery and equipment. Wait.

In a few days, we'll have someone bring him back."

Xiang Wan nodded: "I've prepared everything here. I'll give you a quarter's drawings first. Summer is not far away, and I will make autumn and winter clothes by then. I also drew a few styles of bags and leather shoes. See if you can find someone.

Bring back some skins."

"Okay, I'll figure this out. I'll go to your house to get the drawings later."

Peng Qingliang hired a lot of workers to build the factory, and the factory was simple and did not require much layout, so it was built very quickly.

However, it will take some time to build dormitories for employees in the future.

The layout of the dormitory building was also Xiang Wan's idea, and was slightly adjusted based on the layout of later apartments. Two dormitory buildings were built first, each with three floors and six rooms on each floor, and each room accommodated two people; in this way, it can also be accommodated.

There are a lot of people here. If you make money and need to expand the scale later, don’t be afraid. You can just build two more buildings. Anyway, Peng Qingliang has taken over a whole piece of land there; he also deliberately left several acres of land behind the mountain for the two buildings.

When people build a yard, it will be convenient to go to the factory.

The garment factory is only part of Xiang Wan's plan. After graduating from college, Xiang Wan is also planning to start real estate. In the past few years, Xiang Wan has been making great efforts to make money.

After the two of them finished talking, Xiang Wan went home and took out another watermelon from the platform when no one was around.

Xiang Xiong was chopping firewood in the yard with an axe. When Xiang Wan saw that he was sweating profusely, he couldn't help but said: "Dad, we are burning coal and gas now. Why don't we have someone send a cart of coal over another day?"

Xiang Xiong put down the ax with a smile: "Don't you understand this? Food made with coal is not as fragrant as food cooked with firewood. Forget about gas, but you can still buy some charcoal to boil water."

Bei City began to popularize gas in the early 1980s, and the most advanced one was natural gas liquefied gas. However, most people still use coal, and fewer use firewood.

There is a coal stove in the kitchen in Wangbei Lane, but there is no need to ask someone to set it up, just ask someone to bring the coal.

As for natural gas, although Xiang Wan thinks it is cheap and easy to use, the person in charge of cooking is Xiang Xiong, and there is nothing he can do if he doesn't want to use Xiang Wan.

Nowadays, there are about 800 coals per ton, and one coal can be burned for one hour; larger coals cost five cents each, and smaller coals cost four cents.

Seeing that his daughter had not spoken for a long time, Xiang Xiong thought she was still thinking about the gas, so he smiled and said: "No one around here uses the things that came out of the gas two years ago. I can't use them either, so I might as well buy some."

When the coal comes back, buy two more stoves and put them in the house. Aren't you always complaining about the cold winter? By then, burning the stove in the house will keep you warm."

It was extremely cold in Xiangwan in the winter of the past two years, and the cold wind blew into my bones. At that time, I didn't think about coal. In the end, Xiang Xiong ran to the hospital to find a friend and brought some glass bottles back to mix with hot water.

Winter without air conditioning and electric blankets is particularly difficult for Xiang Wan.

At this time, after hearing Xiang Xiong's suggestion, Xiang Wan nodded hastily: "Let me set up two stoves in the house, and buy coal stoves for the other two rooms. In the winter, you will not be cold when you do your homework and make clothes."

"Okay, I'll go find someone to do it early tomorrow morning."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Xiong noticed the watermelon in his daughter's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Where did you buy the watermelon? It's quite big."

"My friend gave it to me. Dad, go wash your face and I'll cut the watermelon."

In the end, the father and daughter sat on a deck chair under the eaves, talking and eating watermelon.

Xiang Xiong was full of praise for watermelon.

At night, Xiang Wan was lying on the bed and took the time to exchange three thousand kilograms of watermelon and three thousand kilograms of lychees on the platform. They are both summer fruits and are relatively popular in Bei City.

The next day Xiang Wan went to school early, while Xiang Xiong went out to contact the coal seller.

When Xiang Wan came back at noon, he saw that a corner of the yard was piled with coal. After asking, he found out that Xiang Xiong had spent 40 yuan to buy a ton of coal and put it away.

Xiang Wan couldn't help laughing when he looked at the piles of coal: "Dad, when will we use so much?"

Xiang Xiong didn't care: "Use it slowly. I have already bought two coal stoves. In the afternoon, I will invite someone to come to my house to set up two more stoves. You don't have to be afraid of the cold in winter."

Northern City is no better than the Northeast. Almost no one in Northern City uses a kang. If you don’t find a way to keep yourself warm in the winter, you’ll probably be freezing.

Xiang Wan nodded and said nothing.

There was a well in the yard. Xiang Xiong put the half-piece of watermelon left over from yesterday's meal in the well to chill it. The sun was shining brightly at the moment. After lunch, Xiang Xiong took the watermelon and cut it into small pieces.

"Not to mention that this watermelon is really cool to eat. As soon as you eat it, you will know that it is not grown in Beishi."

"Beijing City is not suitable for growing watermelons from other places. If you like them, I will bring two more back tomorrow."

Xiang Xiong couldn't help but nod: "Then take four, give one to your Aunt Fu, Uncle Deng, and your aunt, and keep one at home to eat slowly."

"good."

"Xiao Peng has told you about the situation at the factory. You have chosen the land well. I heard Xiao Peng said that all the land has been bought?"
