Chapter 74 Let Me Try It First

PS: Chapter 72 was scheduled for the wrong time and has been republished. I am very sorry.

The eldest cousin and the second cousin taught Jiang Ning a lesson.

The two have always disliked each other and always avoided each other at dinner parties.

I didn't expect that when we really met, we would be able to talk and laugh.

Jiang Ning felt that he had learned something, so he talked and laughed with his second cousin's wife Su Hongyan.

Su Hongyan did not mention the matter of asking for Feng Yu's quota, and Jiang Ning did not mention it either.

It's like it never happened.

Su Hongyan also asked him: "Why didn't Feng Yu come?"

Jiang Ning said: "We haven't gotten married yet, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The three uncles-in-law looked at the situation on the scene and praised: "Very well prepared."

Uncle Jiang Ning said, "It was Jiang Ning who did it. We didn't care."

The uncle praised Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning is still the most promising."

Second Aunt looked at the four lonely graves and sighed: "It's time to repair the graves."

Jiang Youxin said: "We are discussing it and it will definitely be repaired this year."

The uncle then said, "Now that Jiang Ning has made some progress, it's time to repair his grave, or else people will have something to say about him."

Jiang Hua is fine yet.

After hearing this, Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei looked at each other with a look of confusion.

This sounds like they have no future.

Seeing that his second cousin was not as cheerful as before, Jiang Ning asked, "Why do you look so sad, brother? Is your work not going well?"

Guo Youping and the other cousins ​​didn't have much to talk about, but when Jiang Ning asked, he started talking: "It's very stressful. The new boss is here and he's making a fuss. He makes three demands today and reiterates them four times tomorrow. It's impossible to carry out a lot of work."

Jiang Ning said, "I've also heard about some of the county's policies. Isn't that a good thing?"

Guo Youping glanced at him and said, "It's a good thing, but we're used to the old rhythm, and suddenly we're not used to something new. I heard someone say that you went to Boss Lu's office the day before yesterday?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "I went there once."

Guo Youping asked: "What did Boss Lu want you to do?"

Jiang Ning said: "Regarding the matter of New Town Hotel, the county wants me to take over New Town Hotel."

Guo Youping was quite surprised: "Did you tell me how much it was?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No need to pay, the county still owes the farm a lot of money, it can be used to pay off the debt."

Guo Youping suddenly realized that he knew all this.

After chatting for a few words, my cousin Zhou Aiguo came over.

Guo Youping made an excuse to leave.

Zhou Aiguo asked Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, can we discuss something?"

Jiang Ning said, "As long as it's not about money, there's no problem."

Zhou Aiguo glared angrily: "Can we still have some brotherhood?"

Jiang Ning said: "It is precisely because I want to preserve our brotherhood that I don't talk about money. Talking about money hurts our feelings!"

Zhou Aiguo had no choice but to ask, "Can you lend me a piece of land from your farm?"

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you want the farm land for?"

Zhou Aiguo said: "I grow vegetables. I heard that my uncle made millions of dollars by growing vegetables in a few months."

Jiang Ning was not disgusted by his cousin's straightforward approach, which was at least better than beating around the bush. He said, "The rent for one acre of land is 10,000 yuan a year. You can ask for any amount you want."

Zhou Aiguo glared again: "Bullshit, you have such a big farm, and you want to borrow a piece of land and ask me for money?"

Jiang Ning said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, the farm's land has a very high yield now. One acre of land is at least 20,000 yuan a year. I would lose money if I rented it to you. If you were not my cousin, don't even think about it. You still want to get it for free?"

Zhou Aiguo was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it. This kid was stubborn and wouldn't listen to any advice.

No regard for relatives at all.

It's really difficult to get any benefits from him.

After working for a long time, all the offerings were arranged.

Everyone knelt in a circle, then brought the sheep over to prepare for the sacrifice.

A total of seven sheep were offered, and the process was a bit long.

It took almost an hour to finish, and then we took it away to slaughter.

No one would slaughter this thing, so two butchers were specially brought from the county town.

The three brothers Jiang Ning were busy slaughtering the sheep and cooking the meat.

The elders and relatives sat under the awning and talked. As they were old, it was difficult for them to get together now. This sacrifice was a rare opportunity and it was a good chance for everyone to come and have a chat.

Otherwise we’ll have to wait until the Chinese New Year to get together again.

And even during the Chinese New Year, not so many people would come.

At least one of the eldest cousin and the second cousin will definitely not be able to leave.

Take out all the food and drinks and put them on the table.

It doesn't feel like we are here to worship our ancestors, but rather to have a meal at the graves of our ancestors.

Jiang Ning was busy for a long time until there was nothing to do.

Then I went over and sat under the awning to listen to everyone chatting.

The elders were talking about the latest news in Bei'an.

Most of them are related to Boss Lu. Boss Lu has been very active recently. Today he makes three rectifications, tomorrow he makes five changes. He also makes incognito visits from time to time. Several units have been criticized and a bureau chief was even dismissed.

It's all a matter of work style.

Boss Lu asked for a change in work style, not just words.

Instead, we must change our work style in action. To be more specific, when the people are asked to do something, we cannot say no, but must tell them how it can be done. We cannot say we won't do it, but must tell them how to do it. If we don't change our work style, we will be dismissed.

There is a lack of everything these days, except people who want to make progress.

If you can't do it well, there are plenty of people who want to do it.

A villager from Gaojia Town reported that the sand field in the town only dug sand without backfilling, which damaged the environment.

As a result, he was put into a sack and beaten. When Boss Lu heard the news, he was said to be so angry that he slammed the table.

Then he ordered a thorough investigation. Many people lost their jobs, and some will face criminal prosecution. The boss of the sand field was arrested, and many of his previous illegal activities were unearthed. It is highly likely that he will never be able to get out, and he will probably have to work on a sewing machine for the rest of his life.

The urban management department abused its power and the director was demoted to the lowest position.

The traffic police issued tickets indiscriminately, and the captain publicly reviewed his mistakes at a meeting of 100 people.

In short, Bei'an has been in a state of turmoil recently, with many new things happening.

Jiang Ning had heard about some of these things from Lao Yang, but Lao Yang did not tell him about some of them.

Listening with gusto.

Of course the common people all applauded, but the eldest cousin, second cousin, and third cousin were more of a headache.

Everyone is worried about becoming a victim.

Jiang Ning was thinking that he should never do such things as putting someone in a sack and beating them up again.

Even those who were spared were sent in by Boss Lu to operate the sewing machines.

Although he can run away, he can't stay in exile forever and not go home!
You still have to be honest and be a good citizen who abides by the law.

After eating, drinking and chatting for more than an hour, it was already noon.

The mutton had been cooking for a long time, and Jiang Wei couldn't wait any longer, so he took a piece and tasted it.

It's not cooked enough and I can't bite it.

Just continue cooking until after two in the afternoon.

Finally it was ready to eat, and a large bowl was placed on the table.

Everyone ate meat and talked about the next generation.

Guo Youping is the benchmark and Jiang Ning is the typical example.

Jiang Wei has also become a typical example, but in the opposite sense.

For someone like Jiang Hua, it's OK to be down-to-earth, and the elders often praise him, because being down-to-earth is a blessing. But Jiang Wei has become a typical example of a person who doesn't work hard in his job, instead of running the restaurant and wandering around everywhere.

Even though he has no money, he still buys a shabby Land Rover to pretend to be rich.

Jiang Ning and Jiang Ze turned their heads away, trying not to laugh.

Jiang Wei's face turned green. This year's grave was too annoying.

But I still have to pretend to accept it humbly, which is so depressing.

Jiang Ning observed and found that his second uncle was also smiling.

But his smile was forced, while his father's smile was very happy.

After listening for a while, I found it a bit boring.

Jiang Ning took a piece of lamb chop and went aside to eat it.

My eldest cousin's husband Liu Wei also came over with a piece of meat and asked, "I heard you are going to take over the New Town Hotel?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Brother-in-law is also interested?"

Liu Wei pulled the meat off the bone and shook his head, saying, "I'm not interested in hotels, but I am a little interested in New Town Commercial Building. Do you want to take it? If you do, I'll buy some shares."

Jiang Ning also shook his head: "I'm not interested, and I don't really understand that. The hotel was mortgaged to me by the county. If the county didn't have the money to pay it back, I wouldn't want to take it. It seems that New Town Commercial Building hasn't been decided yet. I'll ask for you later."

Liu Wei said, "Forget it. If you are not interested, I will not get involved. It is too complicated. If you accept it, I can invest a small amount and still get some benefits. If you don't accept it, my small share will just be a gift to others."

Jiang Ning felt that his cousin's husband was a very smart person.

It's no luck that I haven't made any mistakes in decades.

Know what business you can get involved in and what you can’t.

This is not easy, unlike some people who want to get involved in everything.

In the end, you fall down, get up and fall down again.

We ate and drank until almost four in the afternoon, and we had finished eating and chatting.

A few workers also finished paying homage to their ancestors and drove over in pickup trucks.

So a group of people gathered in a circle, burned paper money, and kowtowed to their ancestors.

Then they packed up and went back home.

Things are loaded before the pickup trucks and lorries set out.

Jiang Ning called a few workers aside and gave each of them one thousand yuan.

Several workers took it happily, saying that the boss was really generous.

After returning home, the uncle called his two brothers together to discuss the matter of repairing the tomb.

Since my second aunt has brought it up today, we have no choice but to repair it.

Two cousins ​​from my third grandfather's family were also invited.

This is the business of our fathers, and Jiang Ning and others did not get involved.

Jiang Wei took his brothers out for a drink, and today he was set up as a negative example by the elders at his grave.

I've lost face and I'm so depressed that I want to drink.

When we arrived at Jiang Wei's store, it was deserted and there were only a few people there.

They asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes and the four brothers drank beer.

We ate and drank for a long time.

Jiang Wei cheered up: "Business is so difficult this year. I think that the catering industry is too homogeneous now. It is difficult to operate without some special features. I plan to use the rabbits from the farm to make some rabbit-based special dishes. What do you think?"

Jiang Ze agreed without thinking: "That would be great, let's give it a try!"

Jiang Ning didn't understand, so he told the truth: "Don't ask me, I've never worked in the catering industry."

Jiang Hua simply didn't comment.

Jiang Wei asked Jiang Ning: "Can you give me the rabbits from your farm at a lower price?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Of course, as long as you don't ask me to borrow money, everything else is fine."

Jiang Wei automatically filtered out the words of borrowing money and asked, "How much money do you want to give me, Rabbit?"

Jiang Ning took a bite of the dish and said, "Fifty yuan per piece. I'll give you the internal price."

Jiang Wei was excited: "Let's go to the farm to catch rabbits tomorrow. You all come at noon and let me taste them first!"
