The shop Wang Gang rented was located in the largest vegetable market in Bianhe. It was said to be a shop, but in fact it was a small partition in the vegetable market. It had no doors or windows, but the location was very good. It was a must-see for the vegetable market.
Liang Fengxia fell in love with the store as soon as she saw it. She said that Wang Gang had good vision and chose a good location.
"The monthly rent here shouldn't be cheap, right?" Liang Fengxia asked after walking around the vegetable market.
"The rent is one thousand." Wang Gang nodded.
"So expensive, one thousand yuan a month?!" Liang Fengxia said in shock.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "One thousand yuan is not only the stall rental, but also includes other expenses. The location I chose is too good. Everyone who enters the vegetable market will pass by here, so the price will naturally be more expensive."
"That's too expensive. One month's rent is almost half a year's salary of mine." Liang Fengxia said in surprise.
Wang Gang explained: "This location and this price are fair."
In fact, there was something Wang Gang didn't say. The salary offered by Ma's father to Liang Fengxia was very low, almost the minimum wage in Bianhe, just to bully her that she just came out of the countryside and didn't understand anything.
Wang Gang was really busy this month. Not only did he go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, he also learned about all walks of life in Bianhe, and finally decided to do two businesses.
The first type is mountain goods business.
Wang Gang discovered that mountain products from the Northeast are very popular in the South, but the price difference between the North and the South is very large.
Mountain products from the Northeast can be sold for 10 cents per pound, but when sold to the south, the price can be several times higher. It is common to sell for 50 cents or 80 cents.
With a profit difference of several times, it is definitely a very profitable business.
Wang Gang spent most of this month looking for sales channels in the south. He had just secured a stable sales channel two days ago, and then returned to Bianhe, preparing to purchase a batch of mountain products before heading to the south again.
He has space at his disposal, and he has an inherent advantage in engaging in north-south trade. He can save a lot of transportation costs, and it is impossible not to make money.
The second business Wang Gang wants to do is to open a shop selling braised food.
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and the business of food, clothing, housing and transportation is bound to make money. After a period of investigation, Wang Gang gave up the plan of opening a restaurant and focused on the braised food business.
There is an advantage to doing braised food business. The cost is small but the profit is big. As long as the taste is good and the customer base is not worried about, although you can’t make a lot of money at the beginning, once you gain popularity, you can open branches, set up factories, and engage in centralized production, it will be difficult not to make a fortune in the future.
.
Wang Gang has another advantage in the braised food business. He is the heir to the Jiang family kitchen in the world of "Pi". He is full of exclusive secret recipes and has a lot of experience in running and opening factories. He is very familiar with it.
The only trouble now is that Wang Gang doesn't have much money at hand. At this stage, he can only make money from north-south trade to fund the start-up capital of the braised food restaurant.
Of course, if he is willing to spend the money in the space, it will be easy to do any business, but there is really no way to explain the source of the money.
Wang Gang was worried that if he suddenly became rich and returned to the forest farm, Gu Changshan would not be able to get along with Na Cunhua.
It is impossible for people to suddenly get rich, especially for rural people like Wang Gang who have no education, no background, and no connections. The ways to get rich suddenly are written in the criminal law.
If Wang Gang suddenly came home with a large amount of money and couldn't tell the source, Gu Changshan might be the first to call the police to exterminate the family.
Don't think that Gu Changshan can't do it. Through Gu Zhaocheng's memory, Wang Gang knows that his stepfather, who is upright and kind-hearted and a bit pedantic, can really do something to destroy relatives.
As for asking Wang Gang to leave the family alone and stay in hiding to eat and drink, he couldn't be cruel.
Wang Gang was not a ruthless person to begin with, and the care that Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua showed for him was genuine and not tainted with any selfish motives.
Wang Gang is lucky to have such parents. It is impossible for him to do anything ungrateful.
After thinking about it, he decided to work harder and start a business step by step, so as to make money for his family and worry-free for the rest of his life.
Wang Gang approached Liang Fengxia mainly because of their close relationship and because he had to travel to the south for a long time. He really couldn't take care of the braised food shop business, so he had to find someone he could trust to run it.
Moreover, the braised food shop has to maintain business in the early stage, and also has to focus on purchasing and cooking. It is bitter and tiring, and most people cannot persist.
Originally, one of the family members was more suitable for this candidate, but it would definitely be unrealistic for Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua to abandon the forest farm and come to Bianhe. The other children of the Gu family are young, and the only suitable candidate, Chen Xingjie, has to take the college entrance examination and has no hope of getting into it.
Rather than recruiting an outsider, it would be better to find Liang Fengxia, who is from the same village and is familiar with her.
Wang Gang brought out the braised beef and braised large intestine that he had prepared long ago. After Liang Fengxia tasted it once, her eyes widened and she was full of praise.
"Brother Zhaocheng, your braised large intestine is so delicious! It doesn't smell at all, but it still has a unique aroma. How did you make it?" Liang Fengxia picked up a piece of braised large intestine and couldn't stop using her chopsticks.
"This is an exclusive secret recipe I got from a master chef when I went to the south and met him on the train. I think I am the only one in the Northeast who can make this flavor." Wang Gang said confidently.
Liang Fengxia smiled and said: "This tastes so delicious, I want to buy a pound and go back to eat."
Wang Gang said: "Fengxia, come and help me sell braised food! I will give you five hundred yuan a month's salary, including accommodation but not food. However, you can eat the braised food in the store as long as you like, but you are not allowed to take it with you."
Liang Fengxia hesitated and said, "I've only been working at Uncle Ma's shop for a month. Isn't it a good idea to leave now?"
"Don't you want to see the accommodation I arranged for you?" Wang Gang said with a smile.
Wang Gang pointed to the building next to the vegetable market and said, "I rented a two-bedroom apartment on the top of the building, and I have reserved a room for you."
Liang Fengxia's eyes lit up. What she wanted to live in most now was a building.
Wang Gang took Liang Fengxia to look at the rented house, and she fell in love with it immediately.
The house is located on the top floor of the fifth floor. The landlord built an attic himself, which leads directly to the rooftop, so it has three bedrooms and one living room.
Wang Gang lived in the largest room by himself, leaving the small room to Liang Fengxia. The attic was converted into a kitchen, and a shed was built on the rooftop as a place to cook braised food.
What really attracted Liang Fengxia was the bathroom. After she used the flush toilet once at Ma Xiaoling's house, she fell in love immediately.

Now that Wang Gang has settled the place where he lives, Liang Fengxia immediately made up her mind to follow him!
"Brother Zhaocheng, you rent a shop and a house, so you have to spend a lot of money every month, right?" Liang Fengxia sat down and chatted with Wang Gang while eating braised noodles.
"Don't worry about the cost problem, I will solve it." Wang Gang said: "In the future, I will often go to the south to sell goods, and the store will be left to you. I will also tell you how to make braised food, but I will prepare the special seasoning."
Liang Fengxia said in confusion: "Brother Zhaocheng, since selling goods is so profitable, why don't you concentrate on selling mountain goods and why do you open a braised food shop?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Selling mountain products is not a long-term solution. This business is not technically difficult. There will definitely be many people entering the business in the future, and then the profits will not be as big as they are now.
But the braised food shop is different. As long as you grasp the exclusive secret recipe and build your reputation, you will have greater development prospects in the future, and you can treat it as a family business."
If Wang Gang wants to make a fortune, there are simple ways. The most important thing for him to do braised food business is for his family. When Gu Changshan is laid off in the future, he can follow Wang Gang and sell braised food.
There are also children at home, if they can't continue studying, they can do business with Wang Gang, which is also a way out, so Wang Gang chose to go into industry.
Wang Gang explained the details of opening the store to Liang Fengxia, then sent her back to her residence and dragged all her luggage back to the rented house.
That night, Liang Fengxia used the flush toilet and felt extremely happy.
The next day, Wang Gang took the gifts for his family and got in the car back to the forest farm with Liang Fengxia.
Two and a half hours later, Wang Gang and Liang Fengxia stepped out of the car and saw Na Cunhua standing in the station, seemingly waiting for Wang Gang and Liang Fengxia.
The moment she saw Wang Gang, Na Cunhua rushed over without hesitation and punched and kicked Wang Gang.
"You unlucky kid, you've been gone for a month without even a single message coming back. You want to scare your dad and me to death!"
Na Cun Hua was beating and crying at the same time. Wang Gang stood there and didn't dare to move. His body didn't hurt at all and his heart felt warm.
Liang Fengxia put down her bag and quickly stopped Cunhua. She kept urging: "Aunt Cunhua, don't blame Brother Zhaocheng. He has traveled all over the country this month and is too busy to inform his family."
Wang Gang brought Liang Fengxia back with him just for this moment.
Na Cunhua really stopped after listening to Liang Fengxia's words.
"Have you always known where Zhaocheng is?" Cunhua looked at Liang Fengxia suspiciously.
"No." Liang Fengxia didn't know how to explain it and couldn't help but look at Wang Gang.
"Mom, let's go home first, I miss the pork stewed vermicelli you made!" Wang Gang said naively.
Na Cunhua gritted her teeth and said, "I'll deal with you when I get home."
Wang Gang picked up the bag, walked to Cunhua with a smile, held her arm and said, "Mom, can I have blood sausage tonight?"
Na Cunhua shook off Wang Gang's hand and snorted coldly: "I know how to eat. If you want to eat blood sausage, why don't you go home early."
