The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 292 The Ultimate Experience

"Basically all performance tests have been done, and we are now doing endurance tests." Liu Hua said with a smile: "We need to see how long this engine can last, but I am confident that it will not be worse than Xiao Dongyang's."

"Not bad, not bad." Boss Zuo said excitedly: "Over the years, I have studied motorcycle engines, whether they are small Japanese, big American or European. With your fuel consumption and power, you are far better than them."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at your fuel consumption. The Japanese are known to be the most fuel-efficient because they are resource-poor and have to be fuel-efficient. Your engine's fuel consumption is 17% lower than theirs. I can't figure out how you do it even if I rack my brains."

Liu Hua smiled and said: "Many things are actually just a moment of inspiration. It's a beautiful coincidence to be in the right place at the right time and do the right thing."

Boss Zuo was so envious that he was drooling. Why couldn't he encounter such a beautiful coincidence?
After being envious, he saw the engine in the laboratory running continuously and asked curiously: "How long has it been running continuously like this?"

"It's been four months," Liu Hua said with a smile, "so far there have been no glitches."

Boss Zuo immediately decided to double the order of 2,000 units. This engine seemed to be very reliable, durable and just right for their southwest region.

Of course, after the inspection, Liu Hua introduced them to the sales of the steel rolling mill. They got some unplanned materials as they wished, and they could make a lot of money whether they kept them or resold them.

On the way back, Boss Zuo was thinking that since his skills were not bad and he had a stable channel for engines, he might as well just build motorcycles.

He kept thinking about what Liu Hua said. Now this was just a means to start a business and accumulate capital. In the future, they would not make motorcycle engines.

Then, if I have money, I can just buy the technology. Wouldn't it be mine?
He immediately made up his mind that after returning, he would visit a machinery manufacturing plant and build his own motorcycle brand.

Xu Damao stood in Liu Hua's office and made a self-examination: "This time I didn't inquire clearly. I mistook a motorcycle engine manufacturer for a motorcycle manufacturer, and I didn't conduct an on-site inspection. Next time I will definitely not make such a mistake again."

"It doesn't matter." Liu Hua said with a smile: "After all, our goal is to sell motorcycle engines. Now that the engines have been sold, we have achieved our goal."

Xu Damao volunteered: "I will pack up and leave tomorrow. I will first go to Shanghai to promote our engines to Xingfu Factory. Then I will go to Shancheng, where there is also a Jialing Factory."

"Let's go to the mountain city again." Liu Hua asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of losing half your life there again this time?"

"No risk, no gain." Xu Damao said fearfully, "I don't believe I can't adapt to the local climate every time. With the experience of the first time, I promise I will be safe this time."

The day after Xu Damao went on a business trip, Sha Zhuer's hot pot restaurant opened. This guy has a good business sense. Taking advantage of the cheap land prices around Wangfujing, he found a place with good market conditions and opened a not-so-small store.

Sha Zhu likes to show off. When his new store opened, he invited everyone in the yard to come and show his support. Liu Hua gave him a big flower basket, while everyone else in the yard went empty-handed and just said a few auspicious words.

Their purpose is to eat for free, and it is impossible for them to pay money.

It was the first time in many years that Liu Hua had Sichuan-style red oil hot pot again. The tender tripe, tossed in the red oil and dipped in dry sauce, was so tender, so fragrant, and so authentic. Others in the courtyard ate it for free, but Sha Zhu's wife was very unhappy. These people ate it to death without paying.

Sha Zhu had no objection. He listened to Liu Hua's suggestion and built a semi-open storefront with large glass windows on the outside.

"Wife, don't feel bad. Look at the way these guys eat. It makes others see how delicious their food is. If people outside see the way these guys eat, they will be tempted and come in too."

Sure enough, the spicy and appetizing smell wafted around, and it was also dinner time, so people walking on the street became very hungry and walked into the hot pot restaurant unconsciously.

I had originally planned to lose money on the first day, but in the end, after deducting the costs of water, electricity, rent, and workers' wages, I actually made a small profit of a hundred or so yuan. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

This further strengthened Sha Zhu's confidence. If the business was so good even with half-sale and half-gift, then surely it would take off when the business officially opens, right?
But those fools in the compound don't have it so easy. Although life has improved a lot nowadays, the food that ordinary people eat at home is still rather bland.

Red oil hotpot contains so much oil. Eating too much oil suddenly makes you feel full easily. In addition, hotpot is so spicy that the stomach and intestines are sharply stimulated. Some people simply don't have the patience to wait for hotpot.

For example, when Jia Zhang sees meat, it's like seeing her ancestors. She cooks the tripe up and down, and the key is to make it tender, but at least cooked through. In order to eat more, Jia Zhang stirs it in the pot. As long as it doesn't taste disgusting, she dips it in seasoning and stuffs it into her mouth.

Their family is like starving ghosts reincarnated. When other families get tired of eating, they will eat some vegetables, or the cold dishes carefully prepared by Sha Zhu, or drink some sour plum soup to relieve the greasiness.

Jia Zhang and Bang Geng added soup three times and ate all the meat. Each person made three portions. In order to leave room for the meat, they refused to drink any beverages.

If Sha Zhu hadn't held her back, Sha Zhu's wife would have had an affair with them long ago. Just treat you guys to a meal and eat your fill, but how can you be like this? You are simply eating your enemies.

That night the grandparents and grandchildren were really happy and it was an ultimate experience. They both held their stomachs at home and sighed that they hadn't eaten so comfortably in a long time.

After I got home, I felt dry mouth and choked up a few gulps of cold water. Then my stomach started to rumble.

There was also noise in other people's homes, but not as much as in theirs. The grandparents and grandchildren kept running to the toilet, their legs trembling and their faces turning pale.

Jia Zhang didn't even have the energy to yell. Qin Huairu had no choice but to send them both to the hospital for an IV drip.

At first, Jia Zhang said that Sha Zhu wanted to harm them, either by poisoning them or by feeding them stale food. But the doctor, after examining them, found out that they had overeaten and their stomachs were irritated, resulting in acute gastroenteritis.

The two of them had no choice but to behave themselves. They knew that in today's society ruled by law, they would not be allowed to act recklessly.
