Chapter 28: The Love of a Potato
"I just took it out today, this is the first day, and it's the first time for us here, you don't know much yet, you don't know much, I believe that when you know and understand, you will like it. ”
Although Hu Mingchen found a reasonable reason for himself, it can be seen that his confidence is not so strong, and he still reveals the hidden worries in his heart.
This is Hu Mingchen's first big move after his rebirth, the capital invested is already the limit of his best, if he fails, not only Hu Mingchen will suffer a blow, but also sorry for his sister and sister, their three brothers and sisters are likely to go hungry because of this, it's not a small matter.
"I think so, it's because they don't know if they don't know, I think it's funny, and it looks quite beautiful, Hu Mingchen, I believe you. Gu Xiaoqi played with the two cards in his hand and echoed Hu Mingchen.
"Hu Mingchen, otherwise, let's go and help you publicize it now, I'll take this card to those people from our village to see, maybe they will like it." Mao Feng said as he stood behind Hu Mingchen with his body bowed.
"Mao Feng, your idea is good, we should really help Hu Mingchen, and I can also show the card in my hand to those people in our village. Luo Zhizheng agreed with Mao Feng's opinion.
The three of them were not only friends of Hu Mingchen, but also received Hu Mingchen's favor, and when they saw that none of Hu Mingchen's cards were sold at the school gate, they were also anxious.
If Hu Mingchen's business is good and the cards sell more, then he makes money, Gu Xiaoqi and the others will rise and benefit from it, at least, it will not be a problem to eat cold noodles or send two more cards. This factor plays an attractive role for them.
"You three help me sell ...... I don't have the money to pay you. Hu Mingchen looked at the three of them and said.
"Oh, we're friends, we're buddies, who's going to ask for your money? Gu Xiaoqi, go, go, now everyone is out of school. Mao Feng waved his little hand, pulled Gu Xiaoqi, and said arrogantly.
Looking at the backs of Gu Xiaoqi and the three of them leaving, a smile overflowed on the corner of Hu Mingchen's mouth. At the beginning, he chose to spend a "lot of money" to invite the three of them and give them three or two cards respectively, which was a thought of giving full play to their enthusiasm.
Although Hu Mingchen was a little bit of a motive to take advantage of them, this was not a malicious act.
"Xiao Chen, they help you to publicize and sell things, is this useful?" Hu Yandie stood next to Hu Mingchen and asked suspiciously.
"If there are dates or not, there are no dates to hit the three poles, of course it is good to have an effect, even if it is useless, I will not lose anything. Alright, alright, go and eat, don't stand here, go, go. Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao were next to her, and Hu Mingchen felt pressured.
"Eat, what to eat, the money is given to you, where is the money to eat?" Hu Yujiao pouted.
Only then did Hu Mingchen remember that all the money had been purchased by himself into these cards in front of him.
Although Hu Yandie still has a few dollars set aside on her body in case of emergency, at this juncture, according to her usually cautious personality, she will definitely not take out those few dollars casually. At noon, you can only choose to be hungry.
"Come, I have a dollar here, I bought some for our classmates in the class just now, you can take it to eat." Hu Mingchen got up, took out a dollar from his trouser pocket and handed it to his sister Hu Yandie.
In the morning, Hu Mingchen and his class, under the atmosphere of Gu Xiaoqi and a few of them, Hu Mingchen sold it for four yuan.
"We won't eat, I'm not hungry, you can keep it for yourselves, wait for a while after school in the afternoon, and then go home to eat." Hu Yandie did not accept Hu Mingchen's money.
Seeing that Hu Mingchen's goods came in and no one cared about them, and they couldn't be sold at all, Hu Yandie was so worried that she didn't have the heart to eat, and besides, she was reluctant to spend money at present.
Instead, Hu Yujiao looked at the dollar and swallowed her saliva.
Hu Yujiao's thoughts are not as rich as Hu Yandie's, she only knows that her stomach is a little hungry now, if there is something to really eat, she should fill her stomach first.
Hu Mingchen could see his sister's thoughts at a glance, so he insisted on stuffing the money to her: "Take Xiaojiao to eat, you are not hungry Xiaojiao is also hungry, she is now the time to grow her body, and she has to eat at noon." You don't have to worry about me, don't worry, things will definitely be sold, and I will definitely make money. Don't be afraid that you don't have any money, besides, don't we still have a sacred tree in our house!"
"Don't fight the idea of the sacred tree again, lest you be beaten again, you see that your face is not completely well, and there are still some marks. Hearing that Hu Mingchen had the idea of getting money from the sacred tree again, Hu Yandie hurriedly warned him.
Making money on the sacred tree is a last resort for Hu Mingchen. However, if these cards really can't be sold, they really can't be opened, Hu Mingchen doesn't mind repeating the old tricks, as for whether he will still be beaten, Hu Mingchen doesn't care.
"Then you should take her to eat something quickly, you will also affect my business here." Go ahead, you can't help here, believe me once, don't worry about running out of money, what if you all go hungry and your body collapses, won't it cost you more money? Mom and Dad are not at home, and I won't be able to serve you two at that time. ”
Hu Yandie saw Hu Yujiao's heart-warming appearance, and was a little hesitant and soft-hearted.
"Then you don't need your money, you can take it yourself, I still have it on me, I'll take her to eat." Hu Yandie cautiously took out two cents from her jacket purse, and led Hu Yujiao to the stall selling fried potatoes opposite.
After a while, Hu Yandie walked back with a fried golden potato wrapped in paper, and behind her, Hu Yujiao was holding a potato of about the same size and snoring and eating it with relish.
"Give. Hu Yandie handed the still steaming artichoke to Hu Mingchen.
"Sister, have you eaten?" Hu Mingchen didn't answer, but asked.
"Brother, my sister didn't eat it, she left it for you. Hu Yujiao took a mouthful of food, raised her head and replied from the side.
"I'm not hungry, you can take it and eat it, eat it while it's hot. Hu Yandie said.
There was not much money on him, so Hu Yandie didn't dare to spend more, so she only used two cents to buy two fried potatoes. One was given to her sister Hu Yujiao, and the other, she didn't keep it for herself.
"Sister, what are you doing here, I'm not hungry, what are you going to do for me? Take it back and eat it yourself, don't give it to me." Hu Mingchen pushed the potatoes back.
"How can you not be hungry, you only ate a little bit of food this morning, I am your sister, let you take it. ”
He came back very late yesterday, coupled with the bumpy and tired, Hu Mingchen didn't get up very early today, which caused him to not have enough time to eat breakfast early in the morning, so he hurriedly picked up a small bowl of rice and rushed to school.
"Sister, what are you...... I'm a man, I'm ...... I'm really not hungry, you can eat it yourself, I also have money on me, I will solve it myself when I am hungry, don't worry. Hu Yandie took out the posture of being a sister, and Hu Mingchen was really a little at a loss.
"Manly fart, what am I relieved of, take it, let me take care of you when my mother leaves, you can eat it if you give it to you, you have to listen to me. Hu Yandie took Hu Mingchen's hand domineeringly, and neatly put the potato in his palm.
Hu Mingchen still planned not to give it to his sister, however, seeing Hu Yandie's firm eyes and serious expression, he froze.
After giving the potatoes to Hu Mingchen, Hu Yandie took Hu Yujiao back to the classroom.
Standing at the school gate, looking at the backs of his sister and sister in the distance, and feeling the warmth of the heat transmitted from the palm of his hand, Hu Mingchen's nose was sour for a while, and tears almost flowed down.
It's just a dime of potatoes, which seems to be very worthless, and it's nothing. However, my sister was reluctant to eat and stubbornly kept it for herself, which represented my sister's love and affection.
Whether it is the past of this life, or before being reborn, how many unpleasant things have happened between their sisters and brothers, as an older sister, even if she can scold in her mouth, but in her heart she is really affectionate.
"Sister, don't worry, I will let you all live a good life, I swear. Hu Mingchen didn't let Ying's tears flow, but raised his sleeve and wiped it, and then secretly swore an oath.
With the attitude of not disappointing his sister, Hu Mingchen swallowed the potato with difficulty.
If it had been before, such a fragrant fried potato Hu Mingchen would have eaten very comfortably and devoured it. And now, he really feels that it is difficult to put his mouth down, and every bite he takes seems to be like eating a piece of meat from his sister's body.
At the school gate, as the first half hour of school passed, the number of students became smaller and smaller, and Hu Mingchen's cards were still lying quietly on the ground, and not many students expressed interest in them.
In the sky, the sun hung in the center, and even the tree above Hu Mingchen's head was a little listless.
Correspondingly, Hu Mingchen's heart is cool and cool.
What if these cards really can't be sold, not to mention that a small room is rented over there. I always thought that as soon as I put the card in and put it on the ground, curious students would flock to it and take out their money to buy it.
Even Hu Mingchen thought about the scene where he couldn't be busy, but in fact, he was facing a cold and lonely situation.
And just when Hu Mingchen felt a little pessimistic, Mao Feng, who was in charge of helping with propaganda and soliciting, walked out of the school with a few classmates from their village.
"What am I lying to you doing, you guys and I go to see, it's really interesting, I got a rare money yesterday, and I bought this card today, and you saw me play just now. ”
