"Have you missed your uncle?" Zhang Junping picked up one of them in one arm, held them in his arms, and asked softly.
"Think!" Two timid voices answered Zhang Junping's words in a low voice.
"So good!" Zhang Junping turned around and kissed his two nieces on the face.
In fact, two children, one a little over two years old and the other a little over three years old, have no idea what they are thinking!
If their mother hadn't told them over and over again to go to the city to find their uncle and buy them delicious food and beautiful clothes, they probably wouldn't have even remembered that there was such an uncle.
After all, Zhang Junping's predecessor had been away from home for seven or eight months.
How can a two-year-old child remember?
Zhang Junping didn't ask why he brought his children.
It is obvious that the eldest sister does not want to let go of the child and does not trust her mother-in-law who favors sons over daughters.
"Uncle will take you to eat delicious food, okay?"
"Okay! Uncle is so kind!" Niu Niu clapped her hands and cheered.
"Hello, uncle!" Nini also shouted.
"Uncle Wang, I'm causing trouble for you!"
Zhang Junping said hello to the guard, Uncle Wang, and carried his two nieces in his arms, taking his eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law and others to Wangfujing.
"Hingzi, stop holding them, Gong Shen, let them get down and walk on their own!"
"It's okay, it won't sink!" Zhang Junping refused with a smile.
During this time, he ate pretty well and moved furniture back and forth. Not only did Zhang Junping's skills improve a lot, but his physical strength also increased a lot.
It's no problem at all to carry two two- and three-year-old children and walk a thousand meters.
Zhang Junping originally chose Wangfujing for his store. In addition to being one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Beijing, it is also close to the school.
Less than ten minutes walk.
Zhang Junping handed Niuniu Nini to his eldest sister and brother-in-law, and then opened the store door, "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, and third brother, this is our furniture store!
How is it? Is it big enough?
There is also a yard at the back where people can live!”
"Pingzi, how much does such a big house cost?
Can you make money back?" Everyone else was attracted by the big house and yard, but Zhang Guiqin's attention was not that, and she asked with a worried look on her face.
"Put it down, sister, I'll definitely make it back!
You don’t know how much furniture is lacking here in Beijing!
Our furniture store hasn't even opened yet, and already a dozen people have come to me to reserve furniture!" Zhang Junping explained as he led everyone to the backyard.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you live in the east room in the north room, and I live in the west room!
Third brother, you guys just make do in the east wing!"
There is a heated kang in the house, so you don’t have to worry about having a place to live.
They all brought their own bedding.
The fire pit was left over from the former Fu Jucheng. Zhang Junping took a look and saw that there was not only a fire pit in the room, but also tables, chairs and benches.
"This is tap water. Just twist it like this and the water will come out. Twist it again and it will close!" Zhang Junping demonstrated to everyone how to use tap water.
Beijing had tap water as early as the Guangxu period. At that time, people called tap water Yangjizi water.
"Pingzi, how can this be enough? This is much more comfortable than living at home!" The third brother looked around at the house in the yard.
"I didn't expect that we could live in such a good house! It's all thanks to Topingzi!"
"I knew that Pingzi had a lot of potential when he was a child, and it turned out to be true!
Look, not only are you admitted to a university in Beijing, but you can also bring us to Beijing to make money!"
It’s better to put down your things quickly and let’s go eat!”
"Hahaha! I'm not boasting, I'm telling the truth!" Fourth brother said with a smile.
After being urged by Zhang Junping, everyone stopped talking nice words around Zhang Junping and went into the room one after another to put down their luggage.
It’s tiring to carry so much luggage all the time.
Because he still has two children, Zhang Junping didn't go far, just to Dongfeng Market.
Dongfeng Market can be said to be the largest market in Beijing. It was originally the Eight Banners training ground.
Later, it was converted into a market. It was called Dong'an Market at first. It was not until 1966, that dark era, that it was changed to Dongfeng Market.
Acquisition also means that the east wind prevails over the west wind.
It’s not just Beijing Dong’an that has been changed to Dongfeng.
During that special dark period, many Dongfeng markets appeared across the country.
In Dongfeng Market, cultural supplies, food, chemical fiber clothing, woolen clothing, shoes and hats, textiles, department stores, home appliances, electronic equipment and many other commodities are sold.
Not only can you buy rare things from all over the world here, but you can also eat delicacies from all over the world, such as Wufangzhai and Donglai Shun, both of which are in this market.
Someone once wrote a poem specifically for the Dong'an market, "The newly opened markets are wide and it is difficult to buy whatever you want. If you want to talk about prosperity first, please go to Dong'an in the city."
Zhang Junping took everyone into Dongfeng Market and randomly found a restaurant.
Unless you go to Four Seasons Restaurant, Wufangzhai, or Donglaishun, everything else is pretty much the same.
Anyway, they are all state-owned restaurants, and the people who cook there are all master chefs.
There were no menus in this era, the menus were all written on small blackboards.
This is the real price tag.
Zhang Junping ordered a steamed pork vermicelli, a braised mutton with green onions, a braised pork with fermented bean curd, a stuffed hairtail fish, a kung pao chicken, a five-spice fish, a Sixi meatballs, a shredded pork with Beijing sauce and eight solid vegetables.
I also ordered two dishes suitable for the two little ones, crab roe tofu and white fungus stew.
I also ordered a fish bone soup suitable for children.
The eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, third brother and others were all stunned by Zhang Junping's boldness in ordering. When they realized it, Zhang Junping had already finished ordering.
"Pingzi, just deal with one bite! How much will it cost if you order so many dishes?" Zhang Guiqin complained distressedly.
"Pingzi, can you still retreat? Why don't you retreat!" The third brother's hands were trembling with distress.
He couldn't make back the money for this meal in the past year.
"Yes, they are all members of my family. Ordering so many dishes is such a waste!"
Several other people also spoke one after another, asking Zhang Junping to return the dishes.
"Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, third brother...
At home, you are my sisters, brothers-in-law, uncles, and cousins!
But when we come to Beijing, we have to set some rules!
As for me, my boss is just across the street, and you are all working for me, master!
You have to listen to me no matter what you do in Beijing!
Just do whatever I tell you to do!
I also promise to make you money, be full, well-fed, and well-clothed!
Our rules start with this meal!
As for you, eat with ease and don't think about saving money for me!
As long as you work hard later and make the furniture beautiful, it is much better than helping me save a few dollars now!" Zhang Junping said to everyone half-jokingly.
After everyone heard Zhang Junping's words, they couldn't react for a while.
It took a while to react, didn't it?
They came to Beijing to work for Zhang Junping, who paid them wages.
Isn’t it just like the relationship between the boss, the assistant, and the master in the past?
