Chapter 569 Retirement Life

The development of Huanxi Entertainment is extremely stable, with no surprises or breakthroughs.

Ye Qian and Gu Jinyan are ten years apart. Gu Jinyan is officially 60 years old in 2000, and Ye Qian is already 50 years old. They have officially announced their retirement.

Fortunately for Gu Jinyan, their agency had become less and less busy as retirement approached. Of course, there was still an opportunity to re-employ, but Gu Jinyan refused outright, saying that he wanted to enjoy retirement life.

Ye Qian is the same, but a little different.

Huanxi Group has always been Ye Qian's idea. Even though Ye Qian had warned the company long in advance, when Ye Qian officially announced her retirement, both inside and outside the company were caught off guard.

"You are usually so obedient, but why did you turn a deaf ear to my words at the critical moment?" Ye Qian took her thermos cup, said goodbye to the people in the company, and officially entered retirement life.

Only then did Wang Qiong realize that Ye Qian had been preparing for retirement a long time in advance. On the last day of work today, there was only a thermos cup in the office.

"No, Sister Manyu retired and came back. Why don't you come back? Aren't you also quite enterprising?"

"Shit, I'm not Li Manyu. Isn't your Sister Manyu still working? Find her. I want to retire and have a good rest and play."

Not to mention that the current policies are good, 50 years old is actually the right age. I still have energy to play, but I have more energy to do something else.

After the two retired, they directly booked air tickets to travel around the country and had a great time.

Ye Qian also dislikes current mobile phones very much. They are like bricks and cannot listen to music or watch TV series, so she did not buy a mobile phone at all.

As a result, once the couple left home, their three children were nowhere to be found.

If Ye Qian hadn't called the branch office every time she went, the three children would have thought that these two people were careless.

During this period of time, the two of them visited many places and saw the beautiful scenery and various aspects of the world.

In the end, the two of them recalled the place where they first met, and stayed for a long time in the place where they lived before.

Two years later, I returned to Beijing.

The situation at home is also as Ye Qian planned before. It is quite pleasant to live in old age without having to take care of grandchildren.

Not living with my wife, there are a lot less conflicts. I don’t have to take care of my grandson and there are a lot less arguments.

It's not that Ye Qian doesn't care at all. She does what she needs to do, and pays for it once a year, one step at a time, and hires a good nanny. I can't believe there is any mother-in-law as considerate as her.

If you miss your grandkids, go and see them, or let the kids come over for dinner. Normally, everyone goes their separate ways.

This is really not because Ye Qian is careless, but because children also need their own lives, and they also have their own families. It’s not that old people like them don’t need to get more involved.

But without a job and no need to take care of their grandson, the two of them faced another problem after returning home from traveling.

That's boring.

Yes, it's very boring.

Even if Ye Qian sleeps until noon every day, what should she do in the afternoon?

On the contrary, Gu Jinyan was quite adaptable.

Get up early, do some morning exercises to play with the birds, buy groceries, go home to drink tea, have lunch, go out for a walk in the afternoon, have dinner again, and then sleep until dawn.

Sometimes when I get bored, I chat with the old man and lady at the door, watch and play chess. It’s really like an old man’s old life.

Ye Qian suddenly felt that she was a bit useless. She was bored and had nothing to do anyway, so she might as well set up a small stall to pass the time.

Ye Qian bought a lot of materials, got up early in the morning to work on them, and went out to set up a stall after lunch.

What she wants to sell is very simple, and she doesn't want to make anything too complicated, just the most ordinary, most ordinary, ordinary millet cakes that can't be more ordinary.

Speaking of this thing, there may be many people who have never eaten it, and they ate it when they were young. Take a pan and pour a spoonful of the millet cake ingredients on it.

There are thin ones and thick ones. The thick ones have a meaty texture with raisins on top. But Ye Qian doesn't like the texture very much. She likes to make thin ones with a crispy texture, and she can add raisins on top if she can.

A roll of fried dough sticks and a millet cake won’t make you hungry at noon.

The purpose of setting up a stall is not to make money, so it naturally has to suit your own taste.

The raw materials of millet cake are also very simple. First soak the sticky rice overnight and wash it, then add cold water the next day and pour some rice wine into it. Stir evenly and beat it into a paddle. Then add some white sugar into it and ferment it for 2 days.

After an hour, I found that there were a lot of bubbles on it. Of course, just because I was afraid that everyone wouldn't like the taste, Ye Qian added a little more water from the stream to the bucket, thinking that it wouldn't taste bad even if it was canceled.

Soak it in the evening, beat it with a paddle, and wait for fermentation. You can take a short break after lunch, and then take it out to set up a stall.

Ye Qian's home is in a good location. It's in the center of the city. There are shopping malls and parks nearby. In fact, it's okay to just buy a storefront and do the work yourself.

But Ye Qian thought about it and realized that setting up a stall was just to pass the time. Setting up a store was too formal and like going to work, so she was not very willing to do it. She had to be a freelancer.

The key point is that this freelancer has prepared quite a lot of things for herself, including 2 small stoves and charcoal, and two small pans. One pan can make 4 millet cakes, and each pancake costs 50 cents. She is really good at making this.

It's not to make money, but it's not okay to lose money, so that's why the price was finally set.

After burning the charcoal at home in advance, pushing the mini tricycle, Ye Qian went out.

She did not choose a crowded place as her first stop, but a company near her home, which she could walk to in more than ten minutes.

Ye Qian was next to another vendor selling polite food, and then she began to prepare slowly.

She didn't yell, and buying things all depended on fate. It didn't matter if the sale wasn't completed anyway, it was the same if it was stored in the space.

The fire on the charcoal slowly came up. Ye Qian put it on the table, brushed a little oil on the pot with a small brush, then took a small spoon and poured four small round rice cakes on the small pan.

It doesn't take long for the layers to be cooked.

The rice is fragrant and has a pleasant aroma.

Ye Qian packed one for the toy seller next door and gave it to him, "Here, you can try it."

The uncle was a little embarrassed at first, but he couldn't refuse Ye Qian's kindness. After one sip, he finished the second pot all by himself, "What are you talking about? It's so delicious, it's crunchy, and it's not hard to bite."

Move it, it smells pretty good.”

"It's made from the rice we eat."

There was no one at her and the uncle's stall, but they ate with gusto, which attracted the attention of many people around them.

"Sister, may I ask what this is?"

Ye Qian put down the millet cake in her hand and said: "It's called millet cake. There are thin ones and thick ones. The thin ones are 5 cents, and the thick ones are 1 piece."

"Is the one you eat thin or thick?"
