Half a month later, the repair shop was basically completed, and the yard outside was also hardened with concrete. Only the installation of equipment was missing, and Yang Jian didn't understand this part, so he had to wait for his brother-in-law to handle it himself.
Gao Daqiang also returned home from the hospital to recuperate. It takes a hundred days for bones to heal, and it will take at least more than two months for him to fully recover.
However, the terrain of the repair shop was good. Although he could not engage in car repair for the time being, he could open a small shop, which was also in the original plan, and the display cabinets were made in advance.
When Gao Daqiang and his wife moved in, Yang Jian had already prepared all the goods for the small shop, and it was ready to open.
Yang Shuanglin completed the task of taking care of his grandson. After Yang Jian sent him home, he was about to return to Chengguan, but he was stopped by him.
"Your brother-in-law's repair shop is ready, why are you still going to Chengguan? You only asked for a month's leave, aren't you going to work in Hancheng?"
"I have to go to work. I'll go in a couple of days. I'm going to Chengguan now to discuss building a house with my brother-in-law. Didn't he say he would allocate a plot of land for me? I want to find someone to design the style and purpose of the house before I go to Hancheng."
"Don't lie to me. I'm telling you, if you are still in contact with that woman named Yu, I will not only break your legs, but also sever our father-son relationship."
"Dad, I really have no relationship with her. It's just that I crippled Liu Ming and incidentally brought down Pan Wenbin, which happened to help her family a lot. Because Pan Wenbin has been bullying her father all these years, people misunderstood and thought I crippled Liu Ming at her instigation, and that there was something unspeakable between us. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Yang Shuanglin didn't listen to his sophistry: "I don't care if you have a relationship with her or not, this rumor already exists and has had a negative impact on your reputation, so don't keep running to Chengguan."
"Then I can't not go to my sister's house, right? Besides, you also agreed that I would build a house in Chengguan. That place faces the street, so I have to find someone to design it well. The lower floor can be used as a shop for rent, and the upper floor, besides living, can also be made into a hotel or guesthouse. When I get married in the future, I can make money while sitting at home, which is great."
"Then go quickly, you must come back tonight, and by tomorrow at the latest, you should go to Hancheng to work. Don't keep running home when you have nothing to do. Your brother-in-law gave you the land, and you have to earn the money for building the house yourself."
"I know, I'll earn enough money for the house this year and come back."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he drove away, really unwilling to listen to his father nag.
Passing through Xinqiao Town, Yang Jian parked the car in front of Jixiang Supermarket, greeted his aunt and uncle, and then called San Pang over.
"San Pang, how is your plan progressing? I see quite a few people in the mahjong parlor?"
From the car, he could see the mahjong parlor opposite. Yang Jian knew that Brother Mao had arranged for San Pang and the others to deal with Xu Zheng.
"Our plan is going very smoothly. Although there are many people inside, more than half of them are our people. Many people have lost so much that they dare not come here to play. In ten days at most, Xu Zheng's mahjong parlor will close down."
"Good, you must pay attention to safety and don't get into conflicts with him."
"It's okay, we're all from the town, he wouldn't dare to do anything to us, because he can't catch our mistakes. He can't see our cheating techniques."
"Alright, I'm leaving. I'm going to Hancheng in a couple of days. Call me if you have time."
Seeing Yang Jian about to drive away, San Pang quickly stopped him.
"Yang Jian, I have a favor to ask you."
"You say."
"Can you take me to work? I'm over twenty years old, and I'm still idle all day. Not to mention getting married and starting a family, it's hard to even support myself."
Yang Jian was a little surprised: "You want to work with me? Can you endure hardship?"
"I can endure hardship. I don't have other advantages, but I have strength."
"Then are you willing to learn car repair from my brother-in-law?"
"Car repair? Yes, yes, this is a very popular skill."
San Pang was overjoyed. Learning a skill while young would mean he would never have to worry about it for life, which was much better than being idle and annoying in town all day.
"Alright, when things here are done, you can go directly to my brother-in-law's place. Start with washing cars. When my brother-in-law fully recovers, you will officially learn car repair. I'm leaving now."
The reason he agreed to take San Pang was that his brother-in-law had mentioned to him that he wanted to recruit a few apprentices and car washers from the countryside. Although San Pang had tricked him before, he was still a childhood friend. With Brother Mao's matter resolved, he didn't hold any grudges against him.
Looking at the departing sedan, San Pang felt mixed emotions. He didn't expect Yang Jian to repay kindness with grievances. He had tricked him and lost 200,000 yuan, but not only did Yang Jian not hold a grudge, he also found him a way to survive.
Back at the repair shop, Yang Jian saw his sister organizing goods and his brother-in-law sitting in a wheelchair calculating accounts. He called them together, mainly to discuss cooking for Song Jianmin and the others.
After half a month of gambling at Nanhu Farm, Song Jianmin and the others had been eating buffet meals at the clubhouse. The five of them spent over a thousand yuan a day on food alone.
Although the income from gambling was considerable, with over ten thousand yuan coming in every day, these people were all from rural backgrounds and knew that earning money was not easy. Gambling here was not a long-term plan, and eating such expensive meals was too extravagant. In fact, they hadn't eaten any delicacies, but the prices were driven up by the clubhouse because most of the customers were rich people.
Therefore, everyone had been asking to change places to eat. Biao Biao and Liang Liang's attitudes had also changed. Before, when they followed Song Jianhao, as long as there was food and entertainment, they would spend wildly, as they didn't have to pay themselves. Now they were shareholders, and the food they ate was their own money.
In addition, after his brother-in-law was injured, the family had no income for a long time. The shop had just opened, and business would not be good. Yang Jian also wanted to help them earn some money to supplement the household expenses.
"Sister, Liu Chao and Yongli are doing wine promotion at Nanhu Farm. They find the food expenses there too expensive and want to board with you, paying you board fees. What do you think?"
Yang Jian dared not mention the gambling matter, as his sister and father would object to anything related to gambling.
"What is wine promotion?"
Yang Hui clearly did not know about this profession.
"It's a waiter who recommends wine to guests in the clubhouse. They don't get a salary, only commissions on wine sales. If they are lucky, they can earn much more than ordinary waiters. I heard they can earn five or six thousand yuan a month."
"They can earn so much, that's really great. Let them come here to eat directly. We are all cousins, why should we charge board fees?"
"Sister, there are five of them, and they won't be eating for just one or two meals. Can you afford to cook for them for several months? I've already discussed it with them. You cook for them, and they'll give you 400 yuan a day."
"How much? Four hundred? What delicacies do they want to eat? Is it that expensive?"
"They don't need to eat too well. They can have steamed buns and porridge, or fried dough sticks and soy milk in the morning. For lunch and dinner, two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetable will do. The rest is your salary."
Yang Jian gave a standard. According to the current prices of vegetables and rice, 100 yuan for food expenses for five people would be enough.
