Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 900: Eat for free and make money? How can such a good thing happen?

"Why can't I buy it for no reason?"

"Isn't this thing bought when life was better?"

As Chen Hui spoke, he closed the door behind Wu Shuisheng.

I took him to the state-owned hotel by bike first.

"Here again!? Is your daily meal going to be this high-end now?"

"You just bought a new house recently, and you have to redecorate it."

"It's too expensive here. Just have a bowl of noodles at the snack bar in the department store."

The frequency of coming here is a bit higher this year.

Wu Shuisheng looked at the hotel sign.

I feel embarrassed to let Chen Hui pay every time, and my pocket feels tight when I pay myself.

"Don't worry, today's meal is free and we can even make some money." Chen Hui said as he strode in.

"Eat for free and make money? How can this be possible?!"

Wu Shuisheng muttered something and followed Chen Hui in.

Seeing that he didn't order any food, he knocked on the office door and went in.

"Where is Uncle Yaozu? Why can't I see him?" Chen Hui asked after looking around.

Tang Yuqiong couldn't help but laugh, "He must have gone upstairs. There's a relative coming over today, and he went to help serve the dishes."

“There aren’t many opportunities.”

"Sister Cashier, I'll treat you to a meal, and we can also go enjoy Uncle Yaozu's service, how about that?"

Chen Hui sat down on the chair opposite the desk and started to come up with bad ideas with a smile.

Tang Yuqiong stopped what she was doing.

She glared at Chen Hui and scolded him with a smile: "You wish! You still want to order me around."

"Sister Cashier, you can't protect a man like this!"

"You can't be ordered around, so I'll treat you two to a meal, is that okay?"

"Please arrange the dishes. Are there any special delicacies today?" Chen Hui asked.

"Of course there is. I'll go ask in the kitchen."

"Chen Hui, this is not good!"

"Last time he needed my help, he kept calling me Aunt Tang."

"I'm fine today. You've changed me to cashier sister again, right?"

Whether it was her aunt or her sister, Tang Yuqiong actually loved to listen to them.

While complaining, he smiled and put away his work booklet.

He got up to order food for Chen Hui, and went to find Chen Yaozu to tell him that Chen Hui was here.

There weren't many people eating at the state-owned restaurant at noon.

Plus today is a working day, not a festival.

Chen Yaozu finished his work quickly.

He walked into the office and said, "Why are you here today? I just happened to want to talk to you about something."

"I know you have something to talk to me about, so I came here specially." Chen Hui said.

"Bah! That's a lie!"

Chen Yaozu refuted without mercy.

He took out a small notebook from the drawer of his desk and wrote something on it.

He tore off the page with a tearing sound and handed it to Chen Hui.

"what is this?!"

Chen Hui took it and took a look, then understood it immediately.

He looked up in surprise and asked, "So many?!"

"Last time, my second sister brought her friends back to play and they stayed at home for two days."

"We didn't have extra quilt covers at home, so my mother gave them the new bed covers I bought."

"I don't know why they are so excited. They keep clamoring to buy it even after a good night's sleep."

“It’s been several days!”

"I went to your newly bought little house to look for you. Brother-in-law Shuisheng said that you went hunting with the hunting team."

Chen Yaozu pointed to the list he had written and explained the situation.

Wu Shuisheng standing by looked as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

I quickly added, "Oh! You asked me to tell him, I really forgot about it."

"Brother-in-law, you are not very reliable?" Chen Yaozu complained.

Chen Yaozu's second sister, plus her three friends, had seven or eight sets of bedding in total.

Chen Hui swung the bill and boasted to Wu Shuisheng: "Look, I said this meal is free and there's still money to be made, right?"

"Then you didn't know before you came? What exactly do you want to talk to Yaozu about?"

Wu Shuisheng didn't understand.

"Yes, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Yaozu also asked.

"You have both a freezer and a refrigerator at home. Which one do you think is better?" Chen Hui asked.

"Don't even think about a freezer. It's expensive and hard to get!"

"The one I have at home storing fish costs over 4,000 yuan."

"I used all my connections and it took me half a year to get it."

Chen Yaozu talked about this.

He couldn't help but reveal an expression of annoyance.

Chen Hui was shocked by the price.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that I don't need to.

"You can put anything you want to freeze in my freezer! If you want to use it in your daily life, you'd better choose a refrigerator!"

"The production of refrigerators has increased this year. Supply and marketing cooperatives have spot stocks most of the time, and orders come in quickly if there is no spot stock."

"The price has also dropped a lot in the second half of the year, and it's much more affordable than buying a freezer."

Chen Yaozu continued.

"Oh my god! A freezer costs four thousand dollars?"

"How much does the refrigerator cost?" Wu Shuisheng asked in surprise.

"Uncle Yaozu, can you get a cheaper price by asking your friend at the supply and marketing cooperative?" Chen Hui also asked.

“Only spot goods are available, and there is not much room for maneuver in ordering.”

"If you want to buy it, let's go take a look together after dinner?" Chen Yaozu asked.

Tang Yuqiong walked in with a smile on her face, twisting her slender waist. "What are you guys talking about? It's time to eat!"

The four of them had lunch together.

Tang Yuqiong returned to the office to continue working.

Chen Yaozu accompanied Chen Hui and Wu Shuisheng to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Comrade, what do you want?"

The clerk at the counter greeted people when he saw them coming in.

"Since the reform of state-owned restaurants, the attitude of people in the supply and marketing cooperatives has become much better." Wu Shuisheng said in a low voice.

Chen Hui also has this feeling.

We smiled at each other and didn't say much.

"Comrade, do you have refrigerators in stock?" Chen Yaozu asked.

"Yes! We have two Haier ones. I'll take you up to see them." The clerk said enthusiastically.

"Haier's?"

"The two little boys, one yellow and one white, hugging each other, Haier?"

After decades of development, many brands have disappeared in the era.

Hearing this familiar name again, Chen Hui inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

"Yes! That's it!"

"The latest ones are all new, the quality is very good!"

The clerk said this, locked the counter drawer, and took them to the second floor.

Wu Shuisheng asked quietly from behind: "Why do you say the quality is very good recently? Was the quality not good before?"

"Haven't you heard about the Haier refrigerator smashing incident?" Chen Hui asked with his head tilted.

Wu Shuisheng shook his head. "I haven't even heard of this brand. Why would they smash the refrigerator?"

“That’s their factory manager.”

The incident of Haier's factory director smashing the refrigerator caused a great sensation at the time.

Chen Hui still has an impression of it, but he just can't remember which year it happened.

Judging from what the clerk said, it should be this year.

He walked to the second floor and briefly explained the matter to Wu Shuisheng.

“That’s all money!”

"If you sell this at a lower price, someone will buy it. It's a shame to destroy it like this."
