"Shop a lot, you just need to find Uncle Gen. ”

When Zhang Hu heard Lu Chen's words, he asked with a surprised face: "But you don't want to take the college entrance examination?

"Haha, I said to leave a way back for yourself, and if you fail the college entrance examination, you will sell fish, do you believe it?"

Lu Chen didn't tell the truth, and casually snorted haha.

"Only by believing in you are ghosts, what an old person, and he still doesn't talk like when he was a child. ”

Zhang Hu rolled his eyes and took a bite.

"Less nonsense, I'm serious, what about Uncle Gen?"

Lu Chen stopped laughing and urged the other party: "Hurry up, take me to him." ”

"Isn't it? Tatsuko, are you really playing?

The tiger's mouth is big enough to fit an egg.

"Foolish nonsense, hurry up. ”

Lu Chen didn't bother to explain, so he directly grabbed the other party and pushed him forward, turned around and shouted towards the fish stall: "Uncle Chang, I'll borrow a tiger." ”

By the time Zhang Hu's father Zhang Zhengchang poked his head inside, the two friends had already disappeared.

......

"Xiaochen, don't make fun of Uncle Gen, you really want to rent a shop?"

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the security office of the Kanbei Market, and the security guard Peng Haigen asked in surprise.

In fact, because of its proximity, the Kanbei Market belongs to the boundary of Huaguang Village, and the people who make a living here are neighbors who have lived for decades and know each other very well.

"Uncle Gen, I'm not idle, why are you like Huzi's mother-in-law, of course it's true, the pearls are not so real. ”

Lu Chen explained seriously.

"Stinky boy, no big or small, I don't want to live anymore, talking to the old man like this?"

Peng Haigen pretended to be angry and cursed.

"Hey, I don't know if your old man loves me, he definitely won't beat me. ”

After speaking, he pushed Zhang Hu forward: "No, if you want to beat this kid, he has thick skin and thick meat, I am a scholar, and I can't stand the toss." ”

"Fuck, you shit, have such a pair of brothers?"

Zhang Hu kicked the other party.

"You two little slippery heads, you have grown up since you were a child, you must walk upright, sit firmly, and don't go a fork in the road......"

"Okay, Uncle Gen, I'll listen to your old man when I have time, and now I need to shop for noodles. ”

Peng Haigen is old, and the security work is idle, it is rare for someone to talk, and he was about to say a few words, but Lu Chen stopped the other party in time.

He doesn't have time to waste now, he has to get it done as soon as possible, and then go home before dinner to pretend to be a good son, and then go to Shen Xuening's house at night under the pretext of studying late.

Peng Haigen was interrupted by the other party, but he was not angry, he pointed at the other party with a smile and said, "Okay, there is really one, come with me." ”

A few minutes later, under the guidance of Peng Haigen, a few people found a shop, located in the north corner of Jiangbei Market, by the inner street, about 40 square meters, the pattern is a little unsightly, many water chestnuts, if it is a normal business, it must be disgusted, but for Lu Chen, it has nothing to do.

"Uncle Gen, how much is the rent of this shop? I have not been renting it for a long time, only about a month. ”

Lu Chen took out a cigarette, sent two people, and asked casually.

"The location of this shop is not good, it can't be rented, and now it has become a pile of groceries in the market. ”

Uncle Peng Haigen took the cigarette and said indifferently: "If you want to use it, just use it casually, what kind of rent to talk about, the top won't care, just clean it up yourself." ”

"That's not good, people are favors, accounts should be clear, as much as they should be. ”

Lu Chen knew that the business would definitely be hot at that time, and the procedures must be clear and clear, so as to save people from looking for trouble.

Peng Haigen didn't think about this, but the acquaintances were a little embarrassed, so he simply looked at Zhang Hu.

Seeing Zhang Hu nodding, he probably meant the same thing, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then it means, you can give as much as you want." ”

Lu Chen didn't speak, just stretched out his palm, his five fingers apart.

"No, 500 is too much, this place is definitely not worth so much money. ”

Peng Haigen repeatedly refused.

"Huh, 500, isn't it 50?"

Lu Chen scratched his head.

Uncle Gen and Zhang Hu: ......

Of course, in the end, Lu Chen still signed an agreement at the price of 200 yuan per month, at first Uncle Gen and Zhang Hu both said that there was no need to sign a contract, but Lu Chen did not think so, not only signed the contract, but also collected the receipt of the property.

Doing business should be formal, not personal, nor troublesome, this is the experience summarized by Lu Chen in his previous life.

After finishing the shop, Peng Haigen arranged for several old neighbors in the market to help arrange for the shop to be cleaned up.

And Lu Chen still didn't go back to school, since they all skipped class, he simply escaped to the end, and he took Zhang Hu to the major pharmacies and grain and oil non-staple food stores in Jiangbei City to hang out.

Zhang Hu didn't know what medicine was sold in Lu Chen's gourd, but he just followed it, the only thing he knew was that in every pharmacy, Lu Chen might buy a pack of banlangen granules, or masks, etc., and buy some white vinegar or something in the grain and oil non-staple food store.

Every time he went to a place, Lu Chen would also take out a pen and paper to record it briefly.

Fortunately, Jiangbei is a small city, in 2003 mobile phones have not yet been popularized, the Internet, communications are not developed, information asymmetry, many people still feel that SARS is out of reach, and there is no awareness.

Zhang Hu felt that Lu Chen had some secrets, something different from the past, although he was the same unruly, but he was obviously more mature and sophisticated.

"Huzi, after shopping for so long, do you have any acceptance speeches?"

After shopping for a whole afternoon, the two came to the door of a movie theater in Jiangbei, entered a fruit juice stall, ordered freshly squeezed fruit juice and a few fried dumplings, and Lu Chen said to Zhang Hu with a hippie smile.

Looking at this harmless smiling face of humans and animals, Zhang Hu rolled his eyes.

"Thanks to the organization, I got a day that was more confusing than killing fish, and I didn't know what medicine you sold in your gourd. ”

Zhang Hu took a glass of wine, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Haha, brother is so Huigen, he actually knows that I want to sell medicine. ”

Lu Chen poured him another glass of wine, raised his eyebrows and said.

"Selling medicine?"

Sure enough, Zhang Hu had an extremely surprised expression on his face.

Lu Chen twitched his eyes and nodded.

"That's it?"

Zhang Hu pointed to the banlangen placed on the table.

"Yes, this is a miracle medicine to make a fortune. ”

Lu Chen said with a smile, in fact, judging from Zhang Hu's expression, Lu Chen knew that the other party couldn't understand, but the more he didn't understand, the better, if it was all through the sky, he wouldn't have a chance.

After a while, Lu Chen told Zhang Hu about the plan, and they still trusted each other very much.

"Are you really sure this thing can make money?"

Zhang Hu was a little hesitant, not because he was suspicious, but because he was worried that Lu Chen would have a fight.

"It's okay, business is originally a gamble, dare to think and dare to do at least half the success, if you don't do it, that's. ”

"But I still have to go to school and take the college entrance examination, so I need your help. ”

Lu Chen was still calm and light, and he definitely had absolute confidence, but he couldn't tell the other party that he was an uncertain prophet.

Seeing Lu Chen so insistent, Zhang Hu no longer dissuaded, and only said that it was incumbent on him to help him.

After eating dim sum, the two returned to the Guanbei market again, Zhang Hu returned to the fish stall to help, and Lu Chen poured noodles alone.

Peng Haigen's movements were very fast, and in two hours, he arranged for someone to clean up the shop, although it was empty and the environment was not very elegant, but at least it was concise.

"It seems that something is missing, if you add more shelves and put some flower baskets, it will be hot when it opens. ”

Lu Chen exhaled the smoke and thought about it, clutching his chin.

Of course, the flower basket is unrealistic, and in the end, Lu Chen found three old shelves in a second-hand furniture city in Jiangbei, and also borrowed a few chairs and an old table from Peng Haigen, and it was nearly six o'clock in the afternoon after tossing.

The market is not well lit, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes half of the sky red, and a little afterglow slanted into the shop, revealing a little light in the darkness, and the cold wind blows the Buddha, with a refreshing feeling.

Lu Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at the decent pavement, and showed a relieved smile.
