Chapter 5 It's better to have Pepsi
Six o'clock in the morning.
The water from the faucet is flowing. Zhang Tong rinsed his face directly with the cold tap water of late autumn.
"Aha~!" The feeling of chilling through the heart instantly made Zhang Tong feel that the whole person was refreshed. No, today is the first day of opening, and he got up early to prepare.
Although you should be familiar with all of this by opening a restaurant in the other world before, life changes are always ups and downs, and many times things that you are already familiar with will suddenly become different things. This sudden change always gives people a sense of panic and uneasiness.
This store is the inheritance left by Zhang Tong's parents, and it was bought many years ago. At that time, the housing prices in Huaihai City were not so high as to be so outrageous. And at that time, the place was not so prosperous.
The storefront is about 50 square meters on the first floor, which is a kind of commercial and residential storefront. The store downstairs is open, and the upstairs can live people. However, the height of the upstairs is not enough, only about two meters and four, and the living is a little aggrieved.
The structure is a one-bedroom design, and a one-bedroom living room of fifty square meters is okay. Upstairs doesn't need a kitchen, just use the downstairs, upstairs there is a toilet. It's just that the room is a bit basic.
But it's good to have a house to live in, and I'm alone when I return from the other world. After verifying his identity, the [Returnee Office] re-named himself as the head of the house, which can be regarded as a place to stay.
Back then, he opened a small restaurant, and now he is going back to his old business at most.
"Dad's early, Mom's early. After Zhang Tong finished washing, he came to the living room and said hello to the photo of his parents against the wall, then lit three sticks of incense and inserted it into the incense burner and said, "It's time for breakfast." ”
"It's still good for you, don't forget to leave a shelter for my son and me before leaving. Otherwise, I'll either be on the street and be a street friend, or I'll have to follow the example of those guys on TV and go to the trap and kidnap, steal and rob. But those guys are so bad, if I were to do it...... Hey, let's not talk about it, it's really a shame for us returnees. ”
Zhang Tong said these words and bowed respectfully to the photos of his parents: "Don't worry, parents, your son will not go down the evil path." I will take good care of the home you left behind, find a wife and have a child, and show you when the time comes. My life has been vigorous enough, but that's what it looks like. It's better to be back, at least I can go to Ningbo to sweep your tombs and weed on the winter solstice. ”
Ten years is a long and short time, so short that it has been hastily consumed before it can react, and it is long enough to change a person's thoughts in his life.
After serving incense to his parents, Zhang Tong began to work on his breakfast. The breakfast is very simple, that is, white porridge with pickles fried last night, bamboo shoots, fried shredded pork.
The sweet rice porridge with rice in the fragrant glutinous rice is paired with the refreshing salty and fresh pickles and bamboo shoots fried shredded meat, Zhang Tong opened up the food and drank two large bowls of white porridge.
At half past eight in the morning, the signboard that Zhang Tong had ordered from the next street a few days ago also arrived. The master who installed the signboard found Zhang Tong and asked, "It's the boss, how are you going to hang this signboard?"
"Hang it above the gate, and hang it on it. Zhang Tong beckoned the worker, and the master hung the signboard he had ordered for hundreds of yuan at the top of the store.
The white-bottomed signboard is marked with a line of black letters: Lao Zhang's shop.
Don't laugh! This is the name that Zhang Tong came up with for three days and three nights, and as a name, Zhang Tong felt that he had worked very hard. At least it's easy to understand!
It's already very good if you don't ask Lao Zhang to eat it below, okay!
Of course, Zhang Tong doesn't plan to only deal in a certain kind of food in the shop, but he will sell whatever he wants to cook depending on his mood today. Now he wants a free life, as long as the income of the small shop can meet the expenses.
Didn't that tall beauty say yesterday? This store is worth at least tens of millions in SH! I'm also a man worth tens of millions now, okay? Money is just a number for me, okay?
"Master, it's cheaper. It's such a simple brand, you have to charge 200 yuan, my signboard only costs 400 yuan, and you install it for 200 yuan, which is too expensive!" Zhang Tong, who was worth tens of millions, was bargaining with the workers who came to install it.
"Your store is so tall and the walls are so hard, it's hard for me to get expansion screws. I also drove you in a small van, and two hundred yuan is really not expensive. Now Huaihai is working at this price. "The dark-skinned workers and masters refuse to lose money.
"The master drinks Coke and drinks Coke. Zhang Tong took a bottle of Pepsi from the store and handed it to the worker, and said with a shy face: "It's cheaper." My small shop hasn't opened yet, and I don't have any income. Otherwise, you see it like this. In the future, if you come to my store for dinner, I will give you a ninety-eighty discount. ”
"Boss, if we do business like you, we will starve to death. The worker's master was almost by Zhang Tong.
"Really, it's cheaper. The master drinks Coke and drinks Coke. Zhang Tong helped open the Coke and persuaded people to drink Coke.
"Oh, I'm scared of you. One hundred and eighty-five could not be less. I have other things to do, hurry up and check out, I'm going to do the next one. The master worker was made to take a step back by Zhang Tong.
"That's one hundred and fifteen. "Zhang Tong has to inch in.
"One hundred and five?" the worker master jumped to his feet: "One hundred and five, I will take off your signboard, I don't want a penny, you like to pretend to be whomever you like." ”
In the end, through back and forth bargaining, the workers rushed to the next installation and finally Zhang Tong grinded the price to 175 yuan.
In the end, the master worker didn't drink the Coke, shook his head and drove away in a small van. As he walked, he said: "This boss is dead, and he will fight with me for one or two pieces." ”
Zhang Tong was still waving at the van where the worker master was gone: "Thank you, master, next time I come to dinner, I will give you a ninety-nine discount." ”
Oh yes, I'm Zhang Tong, a man worth tens of millions. Money is just numbers for me, and unfortunately I'm sensitive to numbers.
Zhang Tong walked back to the store with the Coke that the workers didn't drink, hey, prices are skyrocketing in this era. Zhang Tong sighed a little, when he went to the vegetable market to buy pork at half past six in the morning, the pork belly cost fifteen or sixteen yuan a catty, and the price simply took off.
There is also a house, when I left, the house price was only how much, and now it is often tens of millions. Huaihai City is really scary.
"Hey, it's still hello. When everyone made 600 yuan a month, you sold it for 3 yuan a bottle, and now when everyone makes 6,000 yuan a month, you still sell it for 3 yuan a bottle. Don't forget the original intention of the party. Zhang Tong praised the bottle of Pepsi Cola, and then took a big sip of Coke, feeling the stimulation brought by the carbonated drink in the mouth.
Well, there seems to be something wrong with what I just said, but when you think about it, there seems to be nothing wrong.
Zhang Tong's shop has no menu menus, just a whiteboard that can be erased. It was written with a black marker pen [Today's offer: Yangchun noodles are six yuan a bowl, and the noodles can be refilled. Toppings: Stir-fried shredded pork with pickles and bamboo shoots for 2 yuan, spicy sauce for 2 yuan, poached egg for 2 yuan, spicy meat for 8 yuan, lion head for 12 yuan. 】
[Lion's head set meal is 20 yuan a piece. Spicy pork rice is 16 yuan a piece. 】
That's all the dishes that Zhang Tong's shop has to offer today, and he's waiting for the noon meal time to get a guest to the door. However, it was almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't see anyone on the street, and I saw countless knights in red, yellow, and blue uniforms running around the street.
Zhang Tong was a little puzzled, these people in three-color uniforms ran to the shops one by one and then quickly led all kinds of things out. I boarded the battery car and galloped away, and I didn't know why I went.
"Oh, that's weird. Doesn't the human race in the new century have to eat lunch? It's half past eleven, what's the situation?" Zhang Tong's ambition has been extinguished a little, and he is more confused about the current situation: "Is the world changing so fast? Everyone is not eating lunch anymore, or is it becoming popular to bring boxed lunches to work again? Or are all units providing canteens?"
Looking at the restaurant that was very clean, but empty, Zhang Tong felt that he had bought a lot of fresh noodles today, and he didn't know if he could return it. This won't taste good the next day, and you can't sell overnight noodles to customers.
One two three four five...... Zhang Tong was in the kitchen ordering how many fresh noodles he bought, when a weak voice came from the direction of the front hall: "Boss, can you renew noodles for your family?"
