Chapter 18 Preparations
Yan Xu's four children sold bacon rice for more than a week.
In order to accumulate original funds for their barbecue business, Yan Xu bought several large pieces of bacon at Uncle Liu's house, and every time it was steamed with a pot of bacon rice, with some sour radishes and side dishes, and the sales were as good as ever.
Zuo Shurui and the three of them sold at the school gate and in the vegetable market, and one or two of them were not tired at all, but full of energy.
After a week, Yan Xu counted the money box carefully.
Four thousand three hundred and twenty-seven pieces and five cents!
And that's not even counting the wages he paid to the three of them. After all, bacon rice is a small business, so Yan Xu paid them twenty yuan per person.
After careful calculation, those three people also earned 585 yuan.
Thinking like this, Yan Xu covered his chest in pain.
Of course, although the heart aches. But I don't regret it.
It is certain to ask someone to work and give money, where can he deduct it because he is reluctant, and he is not a stingy Zhou Papi.
And because the three young people are now following Yan Xu, there will inevitably be a camera behind them for a long time.
Such a long-standing character, the people in the program team will definitely let people follow Yan Xu, so Fang Quan went to the Ye family, discussed with the grandfather and grandson in person, and finally signed a contract similar to the Lin family, and gave 10,000 yuan for the appearance fee.
The Lin family is 20,000, and theirs is 10,000.
It's just for people to follow the film, and they don't live in his house, and they don't get in the way, that is, they eat one or two meals at his house every night, and this 10,000 yuan can be said to be for nothing.
Grandpa Ye was quite happy, after all, his grandson's high school tuition had been settled!
Yan Xu took advantage of the weekend to go to the hardware and grocery store in town.
There are a lot of things in the hardware store, and the boss is eating melon seeds and watching TV.
Seeing that Yan Xu was a child, and there was a cameraman behind him, the boss was quite surprised.
"Yo, are you guys making a movie?" the boss got up and looked at the camera in surprise.
Yan Xu smiled: "No, it's a recording show." ”
"Mozi's show, then I'm not on TV too?" The boss said happily: "You said Hazi, I'll watch it then." ”
Yan Xu thought about it for a while, what is it called? Oh, I remembered.
"Swap lives. ”
"I seem to have watched this show! My mother-in-law likes to watch it, and I have watched it with her!" The boss was surprised and greeted him very warmly, "Baby, are you here to buy Mozi?" I'll see if there's anything in the store, if you don't have to tell me, I'll make one for you when the time comes." ”
Yan Xu looked around, "I want to buy a barbecue grill, if not, something similar can be done." ”
As soon as he heard about the barbecue grill, the boss immediately slapped his thigh, looking like you were in a hurry, "Hey! Don't say it, there is really a pair!"
The boss led Yan Xu into the store, and dragged out a pair of iron frames from the innermost, which drove a burst of dust when dragging it.
Yan Xu looked at it, and saw that this grill was quite new, "Boss, you have been building this iron rack for a long time, right?"
"Hey, I made it last month, and it was originally ordered by someone, but when it was done, I said I didn't want it! No one bought it, so it could not only fall into ashes!" The boss waved his hand with a gloomy face, "This shelf was two hundred yuan when it was ordered, and no one bought it when I put it here, so I will sell it to you for one hundred and eight, and if you want it, you will drag it away!"
And such good things?
Yan Xu was secretly happy in his heart, he was going to spend four or five hundred to order one, how could he know that a pre-made grill was so cheap.
"Cheng, I want this grill, boss, you can keep it for me, I'll come over tomorrow and take it away." ”
The inventory was sold, and the boss was very happy, "Okay, okay, I'll keep it for you, anyway, I'll be in the store all day tomorrow." ”
When Yan Xu left, the boss enthusiastically handed him two handfuls of melon seeds.
After the barbecue was done, Yan Xu went to a nearby supermarket with melon seeds, and Yan Xu bought a lot of cumin powder, pepper, chili noodles or something, anyway, he was fully prepared for his barbecue business.
There were too many things to buy, and a big bag was filled, and Yan Xu couldn't lift it as a child, so he could only drag it away.
Yan Xu pursed his lips and glanced at the photographer beside him.
Photographer Lao Wang silently moved his body.
Don't look at him, it's useless to look at him, he's just a tool man.
Yan Xu sighed secretly, can he really only drag it back alone?
Don't ask Yan Xu why he didn't find a car to go back, asking was to save money.
Dragged a bag panting, walking three steps to stop for three seconds, Yan Xu was dizzy, it was really more tiring than going up the mountain to chop wood!
Yan Xu squatted on the way back to the village and looked around, hoping that a kind person could return to the village at this time and help him.
The kind-hearted Zhou Yuelin pedaled down the mountain with a small three-wheeled dada.
"Xiao Xu, my brother is here to pick you up!"
Yan Xu squinted at him riding over, and waited until he was in front of him before he said, "Why are you here?"
"Hahaha, I can't think of it!" Zhou Yuelin frowned at him, got out of the car and helped Yan Xu lift the bag to the back car, "Oh, I'll go, it's so heavy! You bought a lot of this thing." ”
Because it is a common tool, this tricycle was also equipped with three cameras by the program team. Zhou Yuelin's photographer followed him from the back of a motorcycle, but did not occupy the back seat.
Yan Xu followed and climbed into the back car and sat down, and Lao Wang also sat down.
"You asked my grandfather?"
"If you don't ask, I don't know that you secretly left the village behind our backs. Zhou Yuelin snorted twice, pedaled three rounds and turned around and returned to the village, "You said you were going to the town to buy something and tell us, look at you like this, if I didn't come, maybe you would be able to go back until you ......"
Yan Xu sat behind with his chin propped up and looked at the scenery along the way, for Zhou Yuelin's words, his left ear went in, and his right ear went out.
The tricycle swayed to Lin's house, and Liu Mengyuan stood on tiptoe at the door, stretching her neck to look at the contents of Yan Xu's bag.
"What did you buy, is there anything delicious?" Liu Mengyuan flipped through and saw that it was all spices and other things, and couldn't help pouting in disappointment, "I thought you would buy something delicious to treat us." ”
Yan Xu sat in the car and didn't get down, and looked at her when she heard it, "What do you have to treat?"
"Hmph! I went up to the mountain to pick a lot of wild vegetables today!" Liu Mengyuan said unconvinced.
Yan Xu was speechless.
This doesn't seem to be their common "cause", they take a lot, isn't the cost low?
Yan Xu patted Zhou Yuelin's back in front of him, "I want to go home." ”
"Gotcha!" Zhou Yuelin responded and continued to ride forward on three wheels.
Liu Mengyuan behind him snorted twice, but he still got on three rounds before Zhou Yuelin left.
Back at Ye's house, Zhou Yuelin helped Yan Xu carry the bag down.
"You bought a lot of this thing, did you buy a barbecue grill?" Zhou Yuelin asked.
Yan Xu nodded, "Well, I bought it, I told the boss, and I'll go back tomorrow to get it." ”
Entering the house, Zhou Yuelin unceremoniously picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water, "Xiao Xu, this thing is almost ready, when are we going to set up a stall?"
Liu Mengyuan also asked, "Yes, when are you going?" I'm almost familiar with this mountain road, and I guess I can get the first place when I go home to participate in the 1,000-meter run!"
During this period of time, it is estimated that there is hope, these three people are one by two, they work extremely diligently, and they are extremely happy every time they get paid, but none of them spend the money, and they are reluctant to care.
Yan Xu took out the things and sorted them out one by one.
"It's not a simple thing to set up a stall, especially selling snacks, whether it tastes good or not is secondary, the key is that things have to be clean!" Yan Xu packed up his things, washed his hands and prepared to cook.
The two people who were waiting for a reply were stunned and thoughtful.
That's right, the important thing for snacks is to be clean, and if the things are not clean, if the guests have something wrong with eating, won't it be on the headlines of the society at that time?
Zhou Yuelin hurriedly said: "Then let's go and check the things we have picked up in the past few days first?"
Yan Xu: "Well, check it clean, it's really not good, you let Lin Yu help you." ”
Zhou Yuelin and Liu Mengyuan went out.
Because they discussed it, they went to set up a stall recently, so in addition to Yan Xu, Zhou Yuelin and the three of them went to the mountains to pick up some wild vegetables and fruits that could be sold in the mountains when they were free.
Afraid that things would be damaged for a long time, Yan Xu and others also deliberately found the village chief, and the things were placed at the village chief's house, after all, the whole village has a freezer at the village chief's house.
Yan Xu glanced at their backs and thought about it.
In fact, he also wants to set up a stall early and make money as soon as possible.
The Ye family is very poor, the house is dilapidated and old, the corners of the wall will leak on rainy days, and the tiles on the roof are about to crack. After nine years of compulsory education, when he went to high school, all the tuition, accommodation, food, materials, and transportation expenses were money, which was just basic......
Without money, Yan Xu didn't dare to think about the future.
Ay.
Yan Xu sighed again, feeling extremely sad when he thought that he didn't even have 10,000 yuan.
He's such a poor bastard!
After being poor and sad, he began to cook diligently.
At dinner, the old and the four young sat around the table, talking while eating.
Zhou Yuelin said, and they checked the ingredients again to make sure there was no problem. Zuo Shurui held the bowl, looked at Yan Xu and said, "Your things are also ready, right?"
Yan Xu: "After all, it's a barbecue, suitable for supper, and the night after tomorrow is okay, but we have to skewer the ingredients in advance." ”
Zuo Shurui nodded, "This matter is simple, we can come." ”
"That's pretty much it, it's important to pay attention to food safety. Yan Xu said.
Yan Xu and Zhou Yuelin were talking about things as if no one was around, and the remaining two young people were eating deliciously, and they grabbed sour radishes with each other from time to time, and they didn't care at all.
Zhou Yuelin and the others are self-aware, they are brainless wastes, so leave this kind of thing to someone who is thoughtful.
Oh, and I don't feel ashamed of the fact that I am not even as good as an eight-year-old child.
