Chapter 114: Set up a stall to sell food
Qi Xiaoyu did not go back to Gujiazhen Primary School.
After she first went to Old Man Zhuang's house to say goodbye to him, she packed her things and took a car to the county that day.
Binyuan County No. 1 Middle School is located on one of the busiest streets in the county.
The school covers an extremely large area, with magnificent teaching buildings and huge playgrounds.
Even the guard room at the entrance is a thick brick wall and a raised eaves, and from the appearance alone, the whole school has an extraordinary momentum.
Qi Xiaoyu has been together for two lifetimes, and it is the first time he has come to the county, and it is the first time he has seen such a magnificent school, and he can't help but feel a surge of ambition and passion in his heart.
But at the same time, her eyes were full of worry.
Although she was admitted to Binyuan County No. 1 Middle School, the notice was destroyed by Qi Junfei, without the notice, can she be let in the school?
After hesitating for a long time, Qi Xiaoyu finally made up his mind and walked towards the guard room at the door.
"Who?"
Before Qi Xiaoyu walked in, a person came out of the security room and asked loudly.
Qi Xiaoyu stepped forward: "Uncle Baowei, I'm a new student, and I'm here to report from No. 1 Middle School." ”
"Oh?" the man looked her up and down, his face softening slightly, "Did you bring the notice?"
"This-" Qi Xiaoyu was very embarrassed.
After a while, he spoke: "Uncle Guard, my notice is lost." ”
She bit her lower lip and said in embarrassment.
"Lost?" The people in the security room looked at Qi Xiaoyu incredulously.
He had been guarding the door of No. 1 Middle School for so long, and it was the first time he had heard that someone would even lose a notice.
"You can't go in without notice. "The defense directly refused.
Doubts are doubts, and the rules still have to be followed.
It is impossible for him to break the rules for the sake of Qi Xiaoyu alone.
"Uncle Guard, can you be accommodating? My notice is really gone. Qi Xiaoyu tried to move the other party, "I was admitted and scored more than 400 points." You can find someone to look it up. ”
"No, I can't. You can't go in without a notice. "The defense is still the same sentence.
Qi Xiaoyu was a little depressed.
When she came, she had expected this. Now that it has really happened, her mood is still a little low.
"Uncle Bao, how can I get into No. 1 Middle School? How did people who didn't bring notices before get in?" she asked again.
Her face was full of worry and anxiety.
In the end, the guard relented: "In this way, the school will arrange a test a month before enrollment." If you can pass this test, you will be able to enter school without any problems. ”
Qi Xiaoyu was overjoyed: "Great! When will the first middle school enroll?"
"Normal September 1st. For the test, it will be scheduled in early August. When the time comes, come back and inquire. The guard said.
Qi Xiaoyu nodded again and again: "Okay, Uncle Bao, I will definitely come over then!"
Leaving Binyuan County No. 1 Middle School, Qi Xiaoyu walked towards the hotel where he was temporarily staying.
The matter of learning is half solved. But then, it's time for her to think about how to make ends meet.
Teacher Zhang Wen left her little money. What's more, she completely broke away from the Qi family and stood on her own, and it was not possible to have no money on her.
In the future, you have to spend money on everything when you go to school.
Qi Xiaoyu plans to set up a food stall first to earn the first pot of gold in this life, just like in the previous life.
Do what you think.
She first went to learn about the market, ran back and forth a few laps, and finally decided to set up the stall diagonally opposite the campus of No. 1 Middle School.
There are many students there and there is a lot of traffic on the street, and once her stall is put on the table, the business will not be good, at least it will not be a loss.
Moreover, she will definitely go to school in No. 1 Middle School in the future.
The stall is placed near No. 1 Middle School, and it is convenient for her to go to and from school in the back.
Qi Xiaoyu planned to make money while studying.
After the specific location was decided, Qi Xiaoyu went to find a cheaper house to rent.
After all, she couldn't stay in the hotel all the time, it would be too expensive to last a few days.
After searching and inquiring, she finally found a good house.
This house, located at the back of the No. 1 Middle School, is an old house.
The house comes with a large courtyard, and in the middle of the courtyard is a pressure valve.
The daily domestic water is in this pressure valve.
There are two apartments in the courtyard, which are divided into east and west directions.
On the east side of the house, there lived an old lady in her sixties. Also the landlord of this house.
The west side set up a house, so Qi Xiaoyu rented it at a price of 70 yuan a month.
Originally, it was impossible to rent a house in this area at such a low price.
Besides, the old landlord has lived in it for so many years, and she has never thought of renting out the house.
It's just that in recent years, the old lady's health has not been as good as before, and the people in the community originally wanted to find someone to take care of her, but the old lady refused.
Of course, the old lady also knew that her health was not good, and it happened that Qi Xiaoyu came to ask for rent, and she looked at the little girl's refreshing appearance, so she had the willingness to rent out half of the house.
However, when renting a house, there was also a condition.
I just hope that Qi Xiaoyu can take care of her, a lonely old lady, at a convenient time.
Qi Xiaoyu naturally agreed.
The Westinghouse is very well maintained, it doesn't need to be decorated, and the furniture in the house is also very complete, Qi Xiaoyu can move in directly with his things.
The house is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
The outer room is spacious, and half of it can be divided into a kitchen, and the other half can be slightly laid out for entertaining guests.
However, Qi Xiaoyu doesn't have any relatives and friends, and most of this place for hospitality is not needed, just enough to put the things she needs to use to go out of the stall.
The inner room is the bedroom.
It's small, just enough to fit a bed and a writing desk. There is also an old-fashioned wooden cabinet for clothes.
After the matter of living was settled, Qi Xiaoyu began to buy the things she needed to go out of the stall.
Pots and pans, clay pots, pots, spoons, drains, plates, towels and the like.
Rented another big cart.
There are hundreds of dollars left.
The old lady of the landlady watched Qi Xiaoyu go in and out of these things, and didn't ask much.
After Qi Xiaoyu packed up these things, it was already a few days later.
She bought the ingredients, prepared the secret sauce and sauce, kneaded the dough and chopped the filling, and the kitchen was clanging, obviously she was the only one, but she was busy with her work.
When it gets dark, the small courtyard is filled with fragrance.
The landlady was attracted by the smell, and went from the house to the courtyard, lying on a bamboo chaise longue, shaking a puff fan and enjoying the night.
But her gaze looked at the kitchen of Westinghouse from time to time.
There, there was a petite man, who was busy inside, and he didn't know what to eat, and the yard was full of aroma.
In the kitchen, Qi Xiaoyu pinched and lifted the lid.
In the cauldron, a rich heat suddenly steamed.
On the bamboo curtain in the pot, there are stacks of white and chubby steamed buns and buns.
On the other side of the shelf, there are large fruits that were fried earlier.
Qi Xiaoyu casually took a big pot and picked out the steamed buns separately.
He took an extra bowl, put two of the food on it, and went out with it.
"Granny Ma, I'm going to make some breakfast to eat. Can you help me taste what these foods taste?" As soon as Qi Xiaoyu went out, he saw the landlady sitting on the recliner and shaking her fan, and handed over the bowl in her hand at the moment.
The old lady of the landlady glanced at the bowl handed over by Qi Xiaoyu, but did not reach out to take it.
"Are you going to come out of the stall? now?"
Qi Xiaoyu shook his head: "No." It's too late now. Moreover, steamed buns are not suitable for selling at night. I'm going to exercise my skills in advance, and I'll come out of the stall tomorrow. ”
The old landlady nodded: "You put the bowl down and help me to wash my hands by the sink." ”
Qi Xiaoyu agreed, put down the things in his hand, and helped her to the water pressure valve.
Under that pressurized water valve, a half-meter square pool was built with cement, which was boxy. Next to the pool, there is also a stone slab with several lines carved on it, which is used to wash clothes.
Qi Xiaoyu put a small basin into the pool, and then began to press the water.
This pressure valve is not a small year, and some parts may be rusty, and it is a little difficult to press.
However, there is no problem with the water.
After putting a small half basin of water, Qi Xiaoyu asked the landlady to wash her hands.
After the landlady cleaned her hands and dried them, she first picked up the big golden fruit.
Qi Xiaoyu's fried heat is very well controlled, and the condition is very good.
The old lady weighed the weight, found that the ingredients used were also very sufficient, tasted a bite, the outside was crispy and the inside was soft, oily but not greasy, and her appetite increased greatly for a while, and she couldn't help but take another bite.
"Good!" she nodded apprenowningly.
Qi Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Granny Ma, you try this again!"
She picked up a big white and chubby steamed bun and handed it to the old lady.
After the landlady ate the big fruit, she aligned Xiaoyu's cooking level, and had a point in her heart, and then took the big white steamed bun at this moment, just from the feel, it was smooth and soft.
She divided the steamed bun into two, and the inside was very Xuanhu.
Take a bite, and the sweet fragrance of the steamed bun will instantly overflow between your lips and teeth.
"Not bad!"
The corners of Qi Xiaoyu's mouth were full of smiles, and finally picked up a bun: "Granny Ma, this is celery and pork filling, you can taste it." ”
The old lady of the landlady waved her hand: "No need. The food you make tastes good. It's okay to use it to set up a stall. I don't have to taste anything more. ”
Qi Xiaoyu didn't follow: "Granny Ma, say okay, you give me a cheap rent, and I will take care of you by the way." You haven't cooked tonight, you can keep all of this and make it dinner. ”
"Where did I eat so much? The landlady was busy refusing.
Qi Xiaoyu gave it hard, she had no choice but to accept it.
When Qi Xiaoyu was about to go back to the house, the old lady suddenly said: "If you sell breakfast, it is not enough to just make steamed buns and big fruits." ”
Qi Xiaoyu nodded: "I know." However, my stall is just getting started, so I'll try the water tomorrow. If it sells well, I will slowly add the patterns in the later stage. ”
"It's good if you have a number. The old lady said no more, and took the bowl and went into her room.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Qi Xiaoyu got up early.
Kneading dough and waking up croquettes, frying steamed buns, boiling tea eggs, and working until five o'clock in the morning can be regarded as having all the things done.
She carries her food to a rented cart.
The old landlady woke up early and was watering the flower beds in the yard.
When Qi Xiaoyu saw her, she hurriedly greeted: "Granny Ma, can you eat some of the freshly boiled tea eggs in my car?"
The old lady's surname is Ma, and her name is Suzhen.
Qi Xiaoyu directly called her Granny Ma, and the old man did not object.
"No, I've eaten. You should go to the stall early. ”
"Okay, then I'll go out first. My stall is located opposite the entrance of the No. 1 Middle School, and if you are hungry, you can go there to find me. ”
"Got it, hurry up, don't delay the time to get out of the stall. "The old lady was busy picking people.
Qi Xiaoyu didn't delay any longer, pushed the car and went out.
As soon as she pushed the cart, her body staggered suddenly, and the piles of things on the cart almost scattered.
Ma Suzhen couldn't help but glance at a concerned gaze.
Qi Xiaoyu hurriedly straightened the car, turned his head and smiled embarrassedly at her: "I didn't try the weight just now, it's okay." ”
After putting the things in the car back together, Qi Xiaoyu was prepared this time and pushed the car out steadily.
In about ten minutes, she arrived at the reserved stall point.
At this time, there were already pedestrians on the street.
Qi Xiaoyu propped up the car, opened his throat and shouted: "Sell breakfast! Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, big fruits, tea leaves, eggs, croquettes, delicious and inexpensive!"
She lifted the tea egg pot that had been simmering on fire, and in an instant, the rich fragrance wafted through the street......
