If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

The brigade leader laughed heartily: "Haha, this was my boss's idea. Doing business on one's own is considered speculation, but if it's done in the name of the brigade, then it's perfectly reasonable."

"If only my eldest son makes money using the brigade's name, but the people in the brigade don't benefit at all, they'll start to have other ideas over time. Giving up some benefits is a good thing."

Chen Jianghe chimed in, "That makes sense. Your eldest son is a man of few words, but he's very shrewd and has the makings of a businessman."

Jiang Lie said earnestly, "Actually, this wasn't my idea. It was my wife who reminded me, saying that people should have a long-term vision. Since we're using the collective's name, we should give back to the collective."

"Only in this way can the business last. Otherwise, if too many people are dissatisfied, and anyone tries to trip you up, you won't be able to prevent it. It's better to offer a discount and sell well."

"Long-term business is the key; otherwise, no matter how much you make in one go, it's all for nothing."

Chen Jianghe nodded emphatically, patted him on the shoulder, and praised, "Not bad, you have great vision and courage. Little Hunter, you've really married a gem. You'll never go wrong if you listen to your wife from now on."

"But I'm quite surprised that you two got together. Back then, your wife had a black birthmark on her face, which was inconspicuous. How did you end up choosing her?"

Jiang Lie was silent for a while: "I don't know. I lent a hand at that time. I didn't know that the birthmark on her face was fake. After I found out, I thought she was a very smart girl."

"I admire a young woman who comes to the countryside and knows how to hide her talents and is not afraid of other people's strange looks."

"As for how we ended up together, I was actually a bit confused myself. I didn't know what she saw in me. Whether it was my looks or anything else, I didn't seem to be a good match for her."

The captain rolled his eyes at him: "You're just too insecure. My son is strong, hardworking, and earns a lot of money. He's also genuinely good to his wife and doesn't have vices like drinking, gambling, or whoring. Isn't he great?"

"Your wife must have chosen you because you're a reliable person. So what if you look fierce? Once she gets used to you, that'll be enough. Oh, I'm just looking forward to you two having a baby soon; she'll definitely be very beautiful."

The main concern is that her son might not be able to keep his wife. She's too smart and dazzling. If they don't have children, what if her son goes back to the city? Will he do something rash?

The donkey cart swayed and rattled until it reached the town.

Chen Jianghe led the person to the Xingfu State-run Restaurant, gave his name, and waited at the side door. Half an hour passed and no one came out, so Chen Jianghe frowned.

"What does this mean? Are you not coming out to help, or are you doing it on purpose? Even if you are busy, you should at least have someone come out and say so."

The captain said in a low voice, "Old Jiang is fine. Let's wait a little longer. The kitchen is usually quite busy, so we understand. Let's wait and see."

"...Hmm, let's wait another half hour. If they still don't come out, we'll go check out the state-run restaurant across the street. It'll save us from being humiliated here. My brother-in-law has changed a bit since he went into the kitchen."

Now he's putting on airs in front of him. He wasn't like this before, always following him around. He's getting more and more out of control. Humph.

Another half hour passed, and the three of them had been waiting for an hour. Even the best patience would be worn out. Chen Jianghe suppressed his anger and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle this matter well."

"Dashan, let's go to the other side."

"good……"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chef with a protruding belly, wearing a white coat, came out, followed by two apprentices. He held his chin high and looked down on everyone.

Upon seeing the three of them, he smiled perfunctorily: "Brother-in-law, why didn't you come to the kitchen to find me? Oh, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. What did you come to buy again?"

Chen Jianghe patiently explained, "Jinbao, this is Jiang Dashan, the captain of our Xiangyang Brigade. This is his son, Jiang Lie. They now run a breeding farm in the brigade..."

Gao Jinbao immediately raised his hand to interrupt: "Alright, brother-in-law, I'm very busy in the kitchen, so just get to the point. What are you bringing them to sell? Let me see. If the quality is good, then we can talk about the price."

"Okay, let's go inside and talk. You can try the food and see how it tastes. I've had these chicken and duck eggs before, and they taste much better than regular ones. You'll definitely make a profit if you buy them."

"Oh, I see. But it's not really appropriate to go to the lobby now. I'm just in charge of the kitchen, not the manager."

"It wouldn't be good if the manager saw me bringing people in without permission. Let's leave it here and see how it tastes. If it's good, we can continue talking. If it's not good, I can't face my brother-in-law anymore."

The meaning is quite clear: the fact that you came out to try it is already a great favor to you, your brother-in-law, so don't ask for too much.

A flash of anger crossed Chen Jianghe's face.

The captain tugged at his arm: "Okay, you can try it here if you want."

"Son, open the basket."

"Okay, Dad."

Gao Jinbao asked someone to bring him a separate pair of chopsticks. Looking at the dish in front of him, he frowned and said, "This is really ugly. There's no artistry at all. How can anyone have an appetite for this?"

Jiang Lie pursed her lips and looked at him: "This is home-style cooking, not fancy plating. Please try it."

I already had a plan in mind. This person doesn't seem easy to talk to. In business, you have to be on equal footing. Otherwise, what's the point of doing business? You'll just be subjected to all sorts of mistreatment.

He took a bite, his eyes brightened slightly, and he slowly lowered his head to try the others, looking somewhat disgusted.

"Hmm, the taste is alright, not particularly amazing, but it's definitely better than regular chicken eggs. The duck eggs don't have any strange smell either, and they're not fishy even when they're cold."

"We can buy them, but the price has to be the same as regular chicken and duck eggs. What do you think?"

Jiang Lie flatly refused: "No way, this is a double yolk, 99% of the time it is. The price will be at least two-thirds higher than the regular price, if not double. Otherwise, I can't do this business."

Gao Jinbao scoffed, "What did you say? Spending two-thirds more money to buy one of you is enough to buy two of others. I'm telling you, brother, don't be too greedy."

"We're only buying eggs for you at the regular price because of my brother-in-law. Otherwise, a restaurant as big as ours wouldn't buy from small, individual vendors like you. It would be such a hassle if there were any quality issues."

"Everyone knows that the eggs from the farms in the brigade are often mixed with some old eggs from other villagers, and the probability of them being spoiled is high. I have to bear this risk too."

The captain looked at him firmly: "My son is right, the bottom line is that it's two-thirds more expensive than regular chicken or duck eggs, but you're Lao Jiang's brother-in-law, and that relationship makes us willing to compromise."

"We'll purchase them at a one-third higher price. As long as they're not defective, we'll inspect them carefully before delivery. If any are defective, we'll compensate you. Is that acceptable?"
