Back to the 1990s: Holding the spiritual spring and striving for a well-off life

Chapter 418 Opening a Store

Because she had married Jian Nan long before Huo Beixi came to work in Qinglong Village, so she didn't even have the chance to meet Huo Beixi.

Everything was caused by Hua Qingmei's accidental mistakes.

"Jian Nan, since you have nothing to do, go and buy me a few larger shops, close to the roadside, with multiple floors. I plan to open a clothing store."

Having opened so many shops in the provincial capital in her previous life, Hua Xiali knew very well how much customer traffic there was. Although the provincial capital had a large traffic volume, Hua Xiali still decided to open a store in Guizhen City now and slowly climb up step by step. After all, she is only a freshman now and will have to stay in Guizhen City for another three years. During these three years, she will not be able to worry about the business outside, so she can only do business in Guizhen City, which will also make it convenient to check the accounts.

"Okay, I will naturally complete what my wife asks me to do." Jian Nan put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Jian Nan, stop saying that." Hua Xiali couldn't help but remind them. If others heard it, who knows what they would think of them!

Jian Nan smiled disapprovingly, "How many shops do you want?"

Hua Xiali calculated in his mind, lobster restaurant, snail restaurant, pearl restaurant, eel restaurant, pickled fish restaurant... For the time being, he would open these five restaurants first to monopolize the business of various aquatic products, and then said, "Let's take five stores first! I'll go get the money for you, but you have to remember to bargain for me, 70% or 80% discount is fine, save as much as you can, don't be a spendthrift and give away all my money."

"No need to give it to me, I have money." Jian Nan said.

"Okay, then you buy it first, and I'll pay you when I get it back." He was not sure how much the store would cost, and Hua Xiali didn't know how much to pay.

After Jian Nan left, Hua Xiali looked at Huo Beixi, feeling helpless. "What should we do? Are we just going to let him live at home like this forever?"

"Let him do whatever he wants. He can stay as long as he wants." Huo Beixi was also helpless. It was impossible for him to give up his wife and then leave this home, right?

He can give up anything, but he will never give up Xia Li.

In his previous life, Jian Nan had spent his whole life with Hua Xiali. He should be content. One should not be too greedy. After all, whether in their previous life or now, he and Hua Xiali had only been together for a few short years. To be honest, he was quite envious of Jian Nan's previous life, for she and Hua Xiali had so many children and could live together for a lifetime.

Huo Beixi put his hands on Hua Xiali's shoulders, turned Hua Xiali around, facing him, and said seriously, "Wife, let's have another child in the future!"

"Sure!" Hua Xiali agreed readily. Now Huo Beixi was no longer a grassroots cadre, and there was no risk of losing his job after having a child. Besides, they had money and could afford to pay whatever amount was needed.

Hua Xiali leaned in Huo Beixi's arms. It was so great to be reunited with Huo Beixi. Two days later, Hua Xiali went back to school. Although she missed some courses, she was careful at home. In her previous life, Jiannan bought a desktop computer early. After laptops became popular, she also bought one. Later, when Xiaoyu graduated from college and returned home, she opened an online store, and she followed suit. She knew more about computers than others, so she was able to catch up quickly.

During the months when Hua Xiali was in a coma, Huo Qian stopped breastfeeding and fed her with formula instead. So when Hua Xiali went to school, Huo Qian was taken care of by Huo Beixi. Moreover, when Hua Xiali was in a coma before, he watched Hua Xiali while taking care of Huo Qian personally, and now he is very good at taking care of her.

Jian Nan quickly gave Hua Xiali five storefronts. After school in the evening, Hua Xiali went to take a look with Huo Beixi, and then handed the decoration task over to Huo Beixi.

Huo Beixi doesn't have a job now, so naturally he has to make money with her, so it is only natural to leave these things to him.

Because it is not yet the best season to eat crayfish and snails, Hua Xiali decided to decorate the hot stew shop first. She certainly did not want to steal Zhang Yongfeng's business. She wanted to sell hot stews and cold dishes. It just so happened that she had collected a lot of bamboo shoots, and it was time to exchange them for money.

Hua Xiali gave the store style drawing to Huo Beixi and asked Huo Beixi to find someone to decorate it. He also made a list of things needed in the store and asked Huo Beixi to prepare them.

She also called a young man from the family who had promised to give her a job to come over and help Huo Beixi. After all, he was her husband, and he had to take care of the children while she was studying, so she definitely couldn't let Huo Beixi get tired.

When they were having dinner together in the evening, Jian Nan opened his mouth, "Daughter-in-law..." After being glared at by Hua Xiali, he changed his words, "Xia Li, why don't you open a store in the provincial capital? The customer flow in the provincial capital is obviously larger than here, and everyone's consumption level is also higher. You have obviously done it in your previous life, why don't you go to the provincial capital in this life?"

"Am I going to the provincial capital to compete with your Jian family? My business is so good, won't your Jian family suppress me?" In her previous life, she was the daughter-in-law of the Jian family. She developed well and the Jian family had a good reputation. But in this life, she has nothing to do with the Jian family. Once she shows up, she may threaten the Jian family's business. Can the Jian family sit idly by?
Jian Nan looked at Hua Xiali, "Do you think I will suppress you?"

Hua Xiali glanced at Jian Nan without saying anything. She knew that Jian Nan would not be able to convince her, so she wanted to wait for him to give up and return to his provincial capital.

She is already married to Huo Beixi and they have a child. She will not be with Jian Nan, nor will she give Jian Nan the result he wants.

The previous life is the previous life, and this life is this life. Moreover, she only owed Jian Nan something at the beginning in her previous life, but she never treated Jian Nan unfairly afterwards. She will not give Jian Nan any compensation in this life.

After the hot stew shop was renovated, Hua Xiali handed Huo Qian to her mother, and went to the farmer's market with Huo Beixi to wholesale food ingredients. The tens of millions of supplies she wholesaled in her previous life were all gone, otherwise why would she need to go to the farmer's market to wholesale now!

Kelp, black fungus, cucumber, lettuce, radish, radish peel, lotus root, shredded tofu, bamboo shoots... many vegetables can be made into cold dishes, but Hua Xiali only bought kelp and black fungus today because she plans to add a dish every once in a while so that she can increase the popularity of her store.

After wholesale the ingredients and seasonings, Hua Xiali went to the store and asked Huo Beixi to make cold kelp and fungus salad. It is actually very simple and a dish can be prepared in a few minutes, but large-scale processing is more time-consuming.

The employees who were called over to renovate the shop before are now officially working in the hot stew shop. Huo Beixi will temporarily run the shop with him, so they can still handle the work. If they can't handle it, they can just ask a relative to come over.
