Chapter 38 Uninvited Guest
After three days of preparation, the cart and signboard were ready, and since it was the first time to go out to the stall, Xu Lin suggested that I buy those condiments from his neighbor to ensure the taste, and only when the taste is good can I attract customers.
I think there is some truth, I spent dozens of yuan to buy various condiments such as taro balls from the master who learned the craft, and at six o'clock in the evening, I went out with Xu Lin to the stall.
The night market began to be lively at six or seven o'clock, and people from the surrounding factories and office buildings began to get off work, and would come to the night market to buy food and eat, and some people who came out for a walk and shopping would come here to take a look, and one of the main consumers was the two surrounding universities.
"Jelly, jelly, three pieces in a small bowl, five pieces in a large bowl"
My stall is next to Xu Lin's stall, Xu Lin asked him to shout for me with his Sichuan and Shu accent a few times, I learned it, but I didn't learn it, the accent is wrong.
However, the jelly I sell is a little complementary to Xu Lin's marinade, and his customers have a lot of Sichuan and Shu people who work in Yangcheng, and the acceptance capacity of this Sichuan and Shu specialty snack is relatively high, so it is a good start to open in less than half an hour.
After eight o'clock, there were fewer people in the night market, Xu Lin and I had dinner in a hurry, and Xu Lin told me the experience of setting up a stall without reservation.
He told me that there would be a group of people coming after 9 o'clock, because the nearby factories also get off work in batches, and many people don't leave work until about 9 o'clock.
Sure enough, after nine o'clock, the people in the night market came one after another, and among this group of people, many stayed to drink, Xu Lin's business suddenly improved a lot, after all, people who drink need marinade to make snacks.
"Little brother, how to sell jelly"
"Three pieces for a small bowl, five pieces for a large bowl"
"A big bowl"
"Okay, let's pack it and eat it here"
"Let's eat right here"
After a while, a customer came to my stall, and I didn't think much about it, so I made a bowl of cold noodles with condiments and brought it to the low table next to me.
There is still a little open space next to Xu Lin's stall, and we each set up three low tables and put them together, so that the guests of both families can sit down and eat here, which is also agreed a long time ago.
"Xuanji, you have to be careful when collecting money, not many people use cash now, be careful when you encounter ghost hands"
Xu Lin happened to be free, walked up to me and told me a key point of setting up a stall, I was stunned after hearing it, what is the ghost hand?
"You have little social experience, there are many scammers in the society, especially those who come with a hundred-yuan bill, you must be careful, every time you take the money, you must identify it first, their methods are very powerful, they specialize in deceiving people, I will find a few videos for you to see"
Xu Lin saw that I was confused, and quickly found a few videos to show me, in which someone bought something in a store, and then took out a hundred yuan to pay the bill, and when the person who collected the money received it, a person would come out next to him, saying that he would pay, and then take the hundred yuan back.
Then the man would excuse himself, saying that he would pay, and then snatch the money from the man and stuff it to the person who received the money, but in fact, in the process, the real money has already been dropped.
If you are an experienced person, then every time you take the money, you have to go through the money detector to see through this scam, but often many newcomers do not have much experience, they will be blinded by them, not only lose the goods, but also pay them back.
In the video, several people have been recruited, and this is still a convenience store where there is a money detector.
The most ruthless thing is that these people are gang crimes, once someone succeeds, they will notify the team to come and commit crimes again, catch a sheep to kill the wool, if you hit several times in a row, not only a day in vain, but also a lot of upside down, very hated.
"I understand, Xu Lin, thank you, now it's all mobile phone payments, this kind of thing should be much less."
After watching those videos, I was also extremely shocked in my heart, this is the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are sinister, these liars are really damned.
"There are also scams in mobile phone payment, there are mainly three kinds, you must be careful, the first is that the QR code has been changed, so you have to look at the mobile phone every once in a while to see if the money has arrived, if there are no times, you have to check the QR code.
The second is the kind of pretending to pay, scanning the QR code, but not paying, and the third is paying less, such as two large bowls, ten yuan, he will pay you a penny or a dollar, the mobile phone in front of you to shake a little, when there are many people, you don't have the energy to distinguish"
"Xu Lin, just setting up a stall, are there really so many bad people?"
After listening to Xu Lin's words, I was dumbfounded, how many scams are there in these rivers and lakes, are the rivers and lakes really so sinister?
"Most people are good, but there are some disgusting people, but don't be afraid, be careful when the time comes, I'll take you to buy a small speaker in a few days, there will be a voice broadcast when you pay, you can avoid most of the scammers, that is, when you pay in cash, you have to pay more attention"
Xu Lin said with a smile, maybe he was afraid of scaring me, and he hurriedly told me the countermeasures, scammers have new tricks, and merchants will also have means to deal with them, and everyone is constantly escalating.
I nodded, this is the first day of setting up a stall, it opened my eyes, if I don't go down the mountain, I really don't know these things, these are life experiences.
"Eat well, boss, the money is on the table"
Just as I was chatting with Xu Lin, the guest just now said a word, then got up and walked away.
After he left, I went to clean up the disposable plastic bowls, but when I saw the money he put on the table, I was stunned.
"Mystery, what's wrong?"
"Xu Lin, take a look at this money, is there a problem?"
"No problem, isn't that just five dollars?"
"You take a look at it again?"
I grabbed the Heavenly Master Order in my hand, and then covered the money on the Heavenly Master Order, Xu Lin opened his eyes again, and suddenly exclaimed, ", Hellcoin"
That's right, the five-yuan note in my hand is not RMB, but a dark coin, and the amount has been magnified a lot, with a series of zeros on it.
"Where the people are, we will chase them back"
After Xu Lin screamed, he was furious, who to scare with a dark coin, it's disgusting, even if you use counterfeit money.
"Don't chase it, you can't chase it, admit your loss"
I shook my head, and at this time a bad thought rose in my heart, and I remembered the dream I had when I helped the Chen family's ancestral house open up the water veins from the mountain city.
Because I helped the Chen family get through the feng shui pattern of dragon water absorption, I also got involved in the cause and effect of the Chen family, and I am still a scapegoat, and I have to bear most of it, even if I return to Dulong Mountain, the senior brother also said that I am riddled with cause and effect.
"Xuanji, how can you admit loss, this is too much"
"Xu Lin, let me tell you one thing, don't be afraid"
"Say it, I won't be afraid"
"I'll receive it tomorrow"
"Ahh
Xu Lin was completely dumbfounded, he asked what was going on, asked me if I had offended someone, someone wanted to fix me, I shook my head and refused to say more, but from tomorrow onwards, I am afraid that I will have to bring all the guys to the stall every day.
The first day of the stall ended at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and at twelve o'clock, the night market began to have a lot fewer people, and the purpose of the people who came became much clearer, that is, to drink, this is not the customer goal of Xu Lin and me, and we can't sell it for a few more money, so we will go back.
I pushed the cart to Xu Lin's side, there was no place to put it in the community where I lived, as for the rest of the things, I packed and took them away if they could stay overnight, and put them in the refrigerator at home to freeze, and those that could not stay overnight could only be thrown away.
Xu Lin's parents were very enthusiastic about me, knowing that I had set up a stall on the first day, and when we went back, they left me for supper and asked me how my business was.
I counted tonight's turnover, a total of more than 300 yuan sold, cold powder and condiments and the rest of the materials more than 100 yuan, the profit is about 200 yuan, it only takes a month, you can earn back the previous investment, and you can be completely profitable from next month.
·······
The next day's stall life began again, today's condiments are still bought from the master who learned the craft, I also think this is good, it doesn't take much time and energy to make cold powder, but the condiments are extremely time-consuming, I don't care how much money I want to make, so I can buy from the master for a long time, and earn a little living expenses.
"Little brother, how to sell jelly"
"Three pieces for a small bowl, five pieces for a large bowl"
"A big bowl"
"Okay, are you packing or eating here?"
"Let's eat right here"
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the man appeared again last night, and I have a good memory, I already recognize him, but I still made a bowl of cold noodles and served it to him.
Originally, I wanted to observe what kind of person this person came from, but after several groups of guests came, I had no way to observe.
"Boss, eat well, the money is on the table"
While I was busy, the man said again, and when I was done and turned back, the person was gone.
I walked over to clean up the table, today I looked very carefully, this person sat in my stall for more than ten minutes, buried his head in eating cold noodles, but in fact the cold noodles did not move at all, and the money on the table was still a dark coin.
I didn't say much, poured the cold powder, and then put away the dark coin, but Xu Lin still saw my movements.
"Xuanji, is it really another one?"
Xu Lin looked at me cautiously and said, I nodded.
"Xuanji, have you offended people or those dirty things"
Xu Lin's face was a little pale, and he received the dark coins for two consecutive nights, didn't he provoke something dirty.
"Xu Lin, don't worry, have you forgotten what my background is? Let's see what he wants to do first, if he is unintentional, it doesn't matter if he provides him with a bowl of cold noodles every day, if he wants to play any tricks, I will let him know why the flowers are so red."
I gave Xu Lin a reassuring expression, if I was a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao and was frightened by this kind of role, then how could I see people, wouldn't it be a shame to be dead?
If the one just ran into me unintentionally, then I'll forget it, it's a provision for him, and if he has any conspiracy against me, then let him taste the power of the Heavenly Master's sword.
