All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

He wasn't some pushover; he just didn't want his family to become enemies. His mother already had high blood pressure, and if the family argued every day, he couldn't guarantee what might happen to her health.

Besides, I don't really have any plans to do anything with that shop right now. The location is so-so, but it's very large. If we make good use of it, it could actually be very profitable.

At least Han Chunming is 100% confident that he can make money from that store. He is now considering a way to make money without spending too much of his time and energy.

As for his older siblings trying to take advantage of him again, Han Chunming would never agree to it again, not even if he were beaten to death.

Want to get beauty!

Han Chunming shook his head and said to his eldest sister.

"Big sister, I'm sorry, the only reason I took over this shop is that I don't want to see my brothers and sisters arguing about this anymore. You've been arguing about this shop for a month, and Mom has been worried about it for a month. I think if this continues, Mom will definitely get sick from all the anger!"

Han Chunming's words made his older siblings look guilty. Han's mother stood at the door and secretly wiped away her tears. Seeing that her children had taken a liking to her, she left with a sullen face.

The second brother clearly still wanted to salvage the situation, so he moved closer to Han Chunming, picked up the teacup that Han Chunming had already finished drinking to get more water, and continued to fawn over him.

"Xiao Wu, isn't your second brother getting married soon? Since you opened this shop, your sister-in-law hasn't spoken to me for half a month. I really want to make some money with you. You know, my salary is only forty-two and a half yuan a month. What can I do? Please let me have a share for the sake of your second brother's lifelong happiness!"

As soon as the second brother finished speaking, the eldest sister-in-law couldn't wait any longer and began to complain as well.

"Xiao Wu, your older brother and I have been supporting this whole family for so long, worrying about basic necessities like oil, salt, firewood, and rice every day. If you open a new store, let us have a stake in it too. Don't worry, this time, we absolutely won't withdraw our investment or interfere with the operation of your store!"

Although the second sister didn't say anything, the longing in her eyes was palpable.

Han Chunming's face grew increasingly dark. Finally, when his sister-in-law finished speaking, he stood up, refusing to accept the hot tea his second brother offered, and coldly said...

"I really haven't figured out what I'm going to do. How about this, I'll not take that shop for now. I'll think about it some more and then decide. I'm going to take a shower and rest now!"

After saying that, Han Chunming got up and left, leaving his older brothers and sisters looking at each other in bewilderment.

It wasn't until Han Chunming had walked quite a distance that the eldest sister, having regained her senses, hurriedly stood up and chased after him while calling out.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, don't go, don't go! Your older sister won't be a shareholder anymore, you can take over the shop!"

The eldest sister's words made the sister-in-law realize what was happening, and she quickly joined in the shouting!

Han Chunming didn't stop walking. Just as he reached the door, his mother's voice suddenly rang out behind him!

"Xiao Wu!"

The word "Little Five" made Han Chunming sigh helplessly. He turned around, sat back down at the table, and then spoke to his elder brother.

"I don't want any additional agreements, brother. I hope you understand!"

Upon hearing Han Chunming's words, the elder brother's face twitched slightly. He then lowered his head and continued writing, speeding up his movements. In no time, he had finished writing the agreement!

Han Chunming took the agreement, looked at it, nodded, and then spoke to his older brother and sister.

"Brothers, please sign here. I'll give you the money in a bit, and we'll settle everything. Your people don't need to come tomorrow morning. I haven't decided what to do with the shop yet. I'll make plans when I do!"

The brothers looked at each other, and in the end, none of them dared to say anything, and each signed their own names!

Han Chunming took the money from Xiao Qiao and handed each of them 500 yuan, officially transferring the shop to them.

When the older siblings saw the five hundred yuan in their hands, they were filled with mixed feelings. They felt both regret and relief.

The thing they regretted was withdrawing their investment from Han Chunming. They had a chance to get rich quick, but they didn't cherish it. If they could do it all over again, they would definitely say those words.

"I'm not withdrawing my shares! I'd rather die than withdraw them!"

Everyone has seen how successful Han Chunming's shop is. This month, they have hinted to Han Chunming several times that they wanted to invest more, but it is clear that they were overthinking it, as Han Chunming ignored them completely.

However, seeing the five hundred yuan they had lost and found again, they were naturally somewhat relieved. If Han Chunming hadn't taken over the shop, their five hundred yuan would have been lost for sure, and they would have had to pay out of pocket!

After settling things over with them, Han Chunming turned around and went back to his room with Xiao Qiao, ignoring the others.

The second brother was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to go to Han Chunming's room to talk to him again, but his mother glared at him fiercely and sent him packing!

The entrepreneurial journey of the Han family's older siblings has come to an end!

However, after experiencing such extreme joy and sorrow, their mindset will certainly never be the same again.

After all, they had already experienced earning thousands of yuan a month. Now that they were back in a factory earning only forty or fifty yuan a month, their restlessness was bound to erupt sooner or later.

However, these things are no longer relevant to Han Chunming.

This experience also made Han Chunming realize some things: people's hearts are never satisfied, and not everyone can be empathetic to you, not even your own brothers!

And so, the brothers and sisters closed their shop. After settling the payments with the suppliers, they shut the shop doors.

Han Chunming really didn't know what to do for the time being. He thought about opening a restaurant, but he was too busy with his own nourishing soup shop to manage it.

However, if he hired a chef, Han Chunming felt that it wouldn't be anything special, and the location was just average, making it difficult to succeed.

So Han Chunming couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he simply left it alone. Besides, he had already paid six months' rent, and there were still five months left on the lease. It wouldn't be too late to make a decision after he had thought it through.

Han Chunming told Taozi about it, and Taozi suggested that they simply open a branch of a nourishing soup shop, which would be easier to manage.

However, Han Chunming disagreed, mainly because they were too close and there was absolutely no need to open two stores on the same street.

To open a branch of the nourishing soup shop, I'll have to wait another two years until my shop is famous enough. Then I'll open two to four shops on several busy streets in Yanjing City and establish a central kitchen.

Han Chunming feels that it's not enough yet; his shop isn't famous enough, and he doesn't have enough energy to manage it.

Moreover, the policies are not very stable now, and I'm afraid of encountering trouble if I open a branch. I might as well wait until after 1985 to develop.

Now, Han Chunming is busy every day and can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, which makes him feel very satisfied.

After my siblings received the money, things have calmed down these past few days. They've finally returned home and haven't been arguing like they used to.

However, it's definitely impossible for the relationship between the siblings to return to what it was before.

Moreover, after experiencing this ordeal, the older siblings have completely opened up a new world for them, and they no longer hide their desire for money.

The topics that my siblings and I talk about at home now are no longer the trivial matters of this family or that family that we used to gossip about.

The topics of conversation now are basically about which family is doing what business and has made a fortune, which family has become a "ten-thousand-yuan household," and who got a color TV through connections, etc.

With the reform and opening up, social atmosphere has gradually changed, only the Han family changed earlier.

Han Chunming remained mostly silent while chatting with his older siblings. To be honest, he was quite disappointed with their behavior.

They are all ordinary people, but now they have become extremely arrogant. They only earn a few dozen yuan a month, but every time they talk about money, a few hundred yuan seems like nothing to them.

During this time, he asked people to help him find a house in the neighborhood, and recently he has made some progress. He has looked at several houses and has now basically made a decision. He is currently in talks with the homeowner.

The house was introduced to him by the dilapidated Hou. It was located in Xicheng District and was a three-courtyard house with a layout similar to the one Han Chunming was currently living in.

It used to be the office of a certain street office, but in the last two years, due to certain policies, it has been returned to the original owner.

The homeowner was an old man who was related to the ragpicker, and could be considered a former member of the royal family.

Now that the policy has changed and the house has been returned to his family, he is naturally worried about future policy issues, so he is thinking of selling the house. Just then, Han Chunming was inquiring about the house, and when Polanhou heard about it, he acted as an intermediary.

Han Chunming had already looked at two houses, but he wasn't very satisfied with either one. It wasn't a matter of price, but rather the housing shortage in this era.

Many courtyard houses, like the one Han Chunming lives in, house a dozen or twenty families. Even if the owner wants to sell, resettling those people would be a big problem.

Now, Han Chunming had already decided to buy the house belonging to Hou's relative, the moment he saw it.

Located near a park, it will become the true core area of ​​Yanjing City in the future. The most important point is that, because it is a street office, there are no residents inside. Only a few elderly people living alone in the community have been arranged to live in the inner courtyard.

The other rooms are mostly used as storage rooms. The only downside is that the house is quite old and dilapidated. Almost all the rooms leak, and one of the walls is about to collapse. If you buy it, you will have to spend a lot of money on repairs in the future.

However, this was obviously an advantage. Because the house was dilapidated, when Han Chunming negotiated the price with the homeowner, he directly cut the price in half. The homeowner asked for 100,000, but Han Chunming cut it in half and offered 50,000.

In fact, Han Chunming had seen a house a few days ago, with three rooms and a plot of land, and the seller was asking for only 5,000 yuan. But this courtyard house was being asked for 100,000 yuan, which was obviously because of its good location and large size.

In any era, there are always houses with sky-high prices. The house that Han Chunming is eyeing now is considered to be a sky-high price in this era.

But the location and size of the place are indeed worth the price. A courtyard house with three courtyards and twenty-four rooms is something that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of in this day and age!

With the mediation of the ragpicker, the final price was set at 66,000, an auspicious number!

Han Chunming paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan. These days, it's very troublesome to handle property notarization, which takes at least a month. Han Chunming planned to make more money during this time.

He currently has less than 40,000 yuan on him, but he is confident that he can earn 30,000 yuan this month, so he is not in a hurry at all.

After the matter was settled, Han Chunming treated Polanhou to a drink. Since opening the soup shop, he rarely went to collect antiques with Polanhou anymore, and the two hadn't seen each other for almost two months.

The ragpicker was still walking the streets and alleys, and during this time, he had made quite a bit of money. After the reform and opening up, everyone's desire for money had become much stronger, and they also knew that some old things in their homes were worth some money. So, the ragpicker had collected quite a few good things in the past six months.

The ragpicker Hou family has quite a few antiques, the only thing lacking is that house.

The ancestors of the "Broken House" family owned at least several hundred acres of property in Beijing, with dozens of such large mansions. However, they were fortunate that their family fortunes declined during the Republic of China era.

By the eve of liberation, he had no valuable properties left. After liberation, he was still a labor camp inmate, and he spent the first half of his life in a daze.

Now that reform and opening up have begun, it's truly springtime for people like Hou the Ragman!

However, the ragpicker lived a leisurely life in his small house. Han Chunming wanted him to come and help him look after the courtyard, but the ragpicker refused.

The house has been settled, but Han Chunming is not in a hurry. He plans to take some time to ask the neighborhood committee to help those elderly people living alone to move out and be resettled. He is willing to pay for it.

He plans to renovate his courtyard house properly over the next two years. In this day and age, there are still some old craftsmen available, and their prices are very low. He wants them to renovate it in the original style.

We'll spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a batch of huanghuali furniture and some antiques to decorate it, so that this courtyard house can once again radiate new vitality.

Once a person has the idea of ​​making money, they will naturally have the motivation.

Han Chunming thought about the storefront that had been vacant for almost a month and finally remembered what he should do with it!

He's planning to open a hot pot restaurant!

A hot pot restaurant only needs to prepare the broth; it doesn't need a chef. Other staff, such as waiters and food preparers, can be hired. Just hire one person to manage it, and it's a sure money-making machine.

Han Chunming acted immediately. It was already autumn, and the weather was getting a bit chilly. It was the perfect time to warm up with hot pot.

To be honest, there are only a handful of truly famous hot pot brands in Yanjing City right now.

Moreover, it's not something the average person can afford, and Han Chunming also felt the taste was just so-so.

Han Chunming had also eaten at two hole-in-the-wall restaurants. The food was just home-style, and the side dishes were even more ordinary, completely lacking the spicy and refreshing taste of hot pot in later generations.

Han Chunming felt it was time to bring out the Sichuan and Chongqing style hot pot. When eating hot pot, it must be spicy, numbing, and fragrant to be enjoyable. Of course, the yin-yang pot should also be available.

Without hesitation, Han Chunming spent another two thousand yuan to renovate the restaurant, creating four private rooms and adding sixteen tables to the main hall. He also purchased a batch of specially made hot pot pots and pans.

As for the ingredients, that was child's play for Han Chunming.

He even took the "numbing spiciness and fresh aroma" of Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot to the extreme, creating several irresistible hot pot bases.

He also rented a warehouse nearby specifically for stir-frying ingredients. While preparing these, Han Chunming asked Taozi to start recruiting people. This time, he held a large-scale open recruitment, planning to recruit five side dish cooks and ten waiters!

As for the personnel managing the store, he invited a heavyweight figure!

This is Grandpa Guan's granddaughter, the beautiful Guan Xiao Guan!
