Chapter 137: Going to the Capital City
"I’m hungry too," Qin Xiangyang’s stomach grumbled with hunger.
"Shall we go to a restaurant to eat?"
Qin Xiangyang’s mouth watered at the thought; there were several state-owned restaurants here, with the smell of food wafting out now and then, making both siblings drool.
"Sure," Qin Xiangnuan picked one and followed her older brother inside.
Nowadays, the dishes at state-owned restaurants are very cheap. However, Qin Xiangnuan didn’t know which one was tasty. In her past life, how could she have afforded to eat out? By the time she had a little money, these restaurants were gone, replaced by more and more privately-owned ones, until not a trace of state-owned restaurants could be found.
They ordered a serving of fried meatballs, a portion of braised pork ribs, an egg drop soup, and two bowls of rice. The fried meatballs cost nine cents a bowl, the braised pork ribs one yuan and fifty cents a portion, the egg drop soup only ten cents, and the rice five cents a bowl.
Sometimes, when Qin Xiangnuan thought about the tens of thousands saved in her passbook, she couldn’t imagine how that amount could be equivalent to hundreds of thousands, even tens of millions in the future.
Keeping money in the bank would result in the most severe depreciation. Therefore, she needed to find a way to convert it into something that could appreciate in value. What could appreciate and what did she want most for the future?
She bit on her chopsticks and began to seriously consider for the first time how she would live her future days. As for the factory manager’s side, she wasn’t worried. The introduction of foreign capital would benefit his factory the most, as the building originally had many shops, so it wasn’t impossible to allocate three shops to her.
After a full meal, the siblings had some ribs left over, which they packed to take home for Granny Lu to eat. Seeing there was some egg drop soup left in the bowl, Qin Xiangnuan picked it up and drank it down with a few gulps, then wiped her mouth.
Let’s go, back home.
