Chapter 18 Zhang Yongfang
"Is there anyone in the house?"
Hearing the knock on the door and the woman's shouting, Kang Qirui, who was reading the newspaper, stood up and opened the door with some confusion.
The Xiguan House has three doors. The first door is a screen door, which looks like two sash windows, blocking the view of passers-by outside. The most distinctive door is the second door - the Changsha door, which looks like a large There is a wooden frame with more than a dozen logs placed across the middle. The logs must be odd numbered, not even. The sliding doors open to the left and right, which not only provides ventilation but also ensures basic safety. The third door is the real door, which is not special. Most of the old buildings have this kind of door.
When someone is at home during the day, the Kang family usually only closes the screen door. The switch of this door is relatively light and can be opened from outside. If you are a neighbor, just open the door and come in. Now there was a knock on the door, indicating that the woman outside was a stranger, so Kang Qirui stopped the old woman who was about to open the door and opened the door with a little doubt.
As soon as the door was opened, the strange woman rushed in. Kang Qirui quickly stopped her and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Of course Kang Qirui could recognize this woman. This was very special to her sister-in-law Xianglan. A distant relative named Zhang Yongfang is a brave and lucky woman. But he couldn't directly say that he knew him, he could only treat him as a stranger first.
Zhang Yongfang looked intently at the handsome guy with extraordinary temperament in front of her, her eyes turned into flowers. She had never seen such a handsome guy with such temperament.
Kang Qirui is very knowledgeable. In this era, he is already at the ceiling of academic qualifications and knowledge. In addition, he is a reborn person, so Kang Qirui himself did not notice it. In fact, to outsiders, he is I think he has an aura of arrogance and aloofness that doesn't take anything seriously. This aura is particularly charming. He is simply a master killer.
Seeing Zhang Yongfang's nymphomaniac look, Kang Qirui helplessly waved his hand in front of her eyes and said: "Hey!!! Hey!!! What on earth are you doing?"< br>
"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm looking for a second girl." Zhang Yongfang's face turned red and she said embarrassedly.
"Er Niu? There is no one named Er Niu in our family." After hearing this, Kang Qirui pretended not to know and said.
“Ah! But the address says this is here.” Zhang Yongfang insisted that Erniu lived here.
At this moment, Wang Yulian walked out. She saw her fifth door open. She was worried for a long time so she came out to see what was going on. At this time, she saw a woman standing outside the door. , and asked: "What's going on with Xiao Rui, who is this lady."
Kang Qirui saw it was the old lady and said, "Oh, she said she came to see Erniu. "Then he said to Zhang Yongfen: "The second girl you are talking about is a nickname, right? What is her first name?"
Zhang Yongfen also slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, look at my brain. Xianglan, the second girl's name is Xianglan." I haven’t gotten off work yet.” When the old lady heard that she was here to see Xianglan, she asked Zhang Yongfang to come in first.
Wang Yulian handed Zhang Yongfen a cup of tea and then continued: "What do you call this young lady? Who are you and Xianglan?"
"Auntie, my name is Zhang Yongfen, and I am Xianglan's fellow villager. "
Kang Qirui watched the old lady and Zhang Yongfang chatting awkwardly. He was thinking that Zhang Yongfen could be used. In his past life, Zhang Yongfen was a very impactful woman. She was determined to come. Guangfu gets rich. Later, by chance, I went to the stock market for two days. Maybe I could use it as my own white glove and cooperate with him to make money.
When Kang Qirui was thinking about how to get Zhang Yongfen to work together to make money, the boss Guang and Xianglan came back from get off work. When Wang Yulian saw Xianglan, she said: "Xianglan, your fellow countryman is here." Then she said to Zhang Yongfen: " Yongfang, you and Xianglan are chatting, I’m going to cook first.” After that, he walked to the kitchen.
Xianglan looked at this fellow villager who appeared out of nowhere, with a puzzled look on her face, because she didn't know this person at all. So she asked: "Who are you?"
"You don't recognize me? Yongfang, Zhang Yongfang."
Xianglan still had no impression, "Zhang Yongfang?"
< br>"Maybe I have double eyelids and you don't recognize me." Zhang Yongfang was very optimistic and not panicked at all, and then said: "Have you forgotten? When you got married some time ago, you went to Sanmenxia to see your second uncle. , right?”
After saying that Xianglan had a little impression, Zhang Yongfang saw Xianglan nodding and said again: "There were many people eating at that time, and you even borrowed a bowl from my house. Do you still remember?"
"You are the cousin of my second uncle's neighbor"
"."
Although he had known it for a long time, Kang Qirui still couldn't hold back his laughter. The cousin and niece of the second uncle's neighbor, no matter how far apart they are, could come to her door. It's no wonder that Kang Qirui couldn't stand it, so the boss Guang quickly pulled Kang Qirui away.
"Xianglan, the meal is ready. Let's invite Yongfang to come in and eat." At this time, Wang Yulian's voice came over. Kang Qirui got up first to help set the table.
Xianglan invited Yongfang to sit down in the dining room, and introduced everyone in the family to Zhang Yongfang while eating. But Zhang Yongfang seemed to only care about showing off his rice, and he didn't know if he listened to it or not.
Everyone in the Kang family looked at Zhang Yongfang as if they had seen a ghost, and then looked at the seven bowls pushed up and stacked on top of each other. "Mommy, this aunt is so amazing. She actually eats so much." Tianxiu opened his mouth and said.
"Yes, brother, you have traveled all over the country for so many years, have you ever seen such delicious food?" Kang Qirui also joked.
The second brother Kang Qizong shook his head. Although he traveled all over the world, he had never seen such delicious food.
After dinner, Zhang Yongfang and Xianglan were chatting in the living room, and Kang Qirui had to go to Zhu's house next door to watch TV with his future wife and future mother-in-law. Kang Qirui stayed at Zhu's house until after 10 o'clock before going home. As a result, when I walked in, I saw Zhang Yongfang and Xianglan still chatting.
"Sister-in-law, come here." Kang Qirui had no choice but to call Xianglan aside. Then he said softly: "Sister-in-law, why is it so late and she still hasn't left? Everyone has to go to work tomorrow. How can we sleep if she doesn't leave?" These words should have been said by Wang Yulian in the previous life, but Kang Qi After thinking about it, Rui decided to maintain her glorious image as an old woman. She was still young, and she was the one who acted like a child, and she was the one who was the villain.
Xianglan was also helpless when she heard this. She spread her hands and said, "I don't know either. She always said she wanted to talk to me about old times. How could I have so many uncles talking to her? She always mentioned me. Actually, I have only met my second uncle once or twice.”
“Sister-in-law, you and she are from the same hometown. I can’t let you talk,” Kang Qirui said to her. With just one sentence, he walked towards Zhang Yongfang and sat down next to her.
"Sister Yongfang, you didn't get off the train until this afternoon, right? Aren't you tired?" Kang Qirui asked first.
Zhang Yongfang said while reading the newspaper: "I'm not tired. It's nothing to take the train for two days. It's much easier than carrying pork in the slaughterhouse."
"What brought you to Guangfu?" Kang Qi Rui asked.
Zhang Yongfang put down the newspaper and said seriously: "People say that money in Guangfu is easy to make. I came to Guangfu just to make a fortune."
Kang Qirui smiled slightly. , "How can I get rich if I don't eat for three days?"
"That was stolen from me by a thief. My family will send me money." Zhang Yongfang cannot accept others saying that she cannot get rich.
"Then what have you decided to do with the money?" Kang Qirui continued to guide.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, maybe I’ll sell fruit. We rural people know how to pick fruits.” In later generations, Zhang Yongfang did sell pineapples.
"Didn't the newspaper you just read say that fruit production has increased significantly this year? How can you sell it?" Kang Qirui pointed to the newspaper Zhang Yongfang was holding just now.
Zhang Yongfang lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Then I will sell clothes. People nowadays like to be beautiful, so business will definitely be good."
Kang Qirui nodded first, Then he shook his head, "Then do you know what type of clothes you sell?"
Zhang Yongfang waved his hand and said: "That's not simple anymore. I will sell them all, men and women, from old to young. I will make everyone's money."
"Then you can do this It’s complicated? And the financial requirements are huge. Otherwise, if you only have a few clothes for each age group, who will come to buy from you?” Kang Qirui objected directly.
Zhang Yongfang also saw that Kang Qirui was planning to give her some advice. She heard it during the meal just now. The fifth child of the Kang family is a university teacher. He must have great abilities. College students are very capable. It’s amazing that a teacher who is still a college student can teach me easily. So he quickly asked: "What do you think we should do?"
"I suggest you only sell clothes and shoes for children aged 12 to 18." Kang Qirui gave his idea.
Then he stated the reasons. First of all, although the economic conditions in Guangfu are relatively good, there are still only a few people who can buy as many sets of new clothes as they want in a year for a large family. Many middle-aged and elderly people even have money. I'm not willing to spend it like this, at least not for myself. Therefore, it is best to only sell children's clothes and shoes. Even if the rich are not willing to spend money on themselves, they will certainly be willing to spend money on their children. Those who have no money can save up and buy two sets of new clothes for their children at the end of the year.
Secondly, Guangfu is also at the forefront of reform, and trends change quickly. One style of adult clothes is popular today, and that style may be popular tomorrow. So it is difficult to make ready-made clothes. As for children's clothes, aren't they all decided by parents? For example, children need to be good-looking, and parents need to be reliable. The child should fit well and the parents should wear it for 2 more years. Therefore, there is no need to consider children’s ideas when it comes to children’s clothes.
Zhang Yongfang was excited when he heard it, and felt that it could really be done. He couldn't help but sigh that being educated means being powerful. However, after thinking about it again, he said with some dejection: "Arui, I know your idea is good and it can indeed make money. . But selling children’s clothes also requires a store to make money. Parents value quality and safety most, and running a street stall requires a lot of money. And I don’t have the channels to purchase it.”
That’s it. After all, Kang Qirui could only say that it was indeed Zhang Yongfang, and he was indeed someone who could make a fortune in Guangfu on his own. The crux of the problem was immediately apparent.
“My second brother has a friend who does this. Both my second brother and I can get the funds. In this way, it’s too late today. You go find a hotel to rest first. I’ll call my second brother tomorrow. Let's discuss how to open this store together." Kang Qirui knew that Zhang Yongfang had no money, so he gave her 300 yuan first. Zhang Yongfang made an appointment to find a hotel tomorrow.
In Kang Qirui's plan, it is definitely no problem to make money by opening a clothing store this year. Zhang Yongfang was suitable for management, and he wanted to bring the second brother along with him. He knew that although the second brother had been running a hardware store for many years and made some money, he was not very rich. In the future, Brother Niu will have to pay for opening a tea restaurant.
