Chapter 7: A Donkey
"Good stuff, really good stuff. ”
Holding a ring with 100 shots and 100 hits, Xu Da, who temporarily forgot his troubles, was in a good mood, and deliberately went to the vegetable market to weigh three catties of pork ribs and threw them to Daddy Li to play freely.
The ribs were burned, and Zhao Jiafu came over when he smelled it.
"I haven't had much business for half a year, I haven't opened meat for a long time, and I've lost weight during this time. ”
Xu Da hesitantly glanced at Zhao Jiafu's stocky figure.
Put it in the past, and you have to scold him left and right. Nian's business has indeed been sluggish in the past six months, and as the person in charge of Yunlu Street, he is somewhat guilty, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Eat, eat more, eat well, two bowls are not enough, three bowls. ”
The spiky rice was pressed and pressed by Xu Da, and when it was handed over, Zhao Jiafu had already sent the ribs into his mouth.
After chewing twice, the two sparse eyebrows wrinkled together.
"What's wrong, are you not wearing dentures?"
"you. Considering Daddy Li's emotions, Zhao Jiafu deliberately lowered his voice and said, "How did Daddy Li's cooking skills regress like this." I used to be the best at making pork ribs, but now I can't even stew it. ”
Reluctantly ate the ribs, Zhao Jiafu decided to do it himself, and then make a scrambled egg with tomatoes.
Xu Da, who looked solemn, tasted the pork ribs, the meat was old and hard, not to mention, the taste was indeed unsatisfactory, compared to when he was a child, Daddy Li's cooking skills regressed quite obviously.
Considering the old man's face and his love for many years, it is not good for him to say it in front of him.
But if it goes on like this, it's really not the way.
After Zhao Jiafu's scrambled eggs with tomatoes were served, the two of them rushed to eat a plate. After eating about the same, Xu Da asked him: "I'm not here in the last few days, I don't have time to watch, let me ask you, how is the business of Daddy Li's stir-fry restaurant?"
Zhao Jiafu shook his head vigorously, "It's not good, it's not as good as my game hall." I saw the diners who had gone in several times come out scolding. Besides, didn't Daddy Li quit smoking a few years ago? Yesterday I saw that he was smoking, and he still bought the cheapest one, which hurt his body. ”
Glancing at Daddy Li, who was bent over in the kitchen, Xu Da ate with his head bored and didn't speak again.
Zhao Jiafu was one of the first merchants of Yunlu Street, and he was more idealistic. Since he was a child, he dreamed of opening a game hall one day, and as the boss, he could play games to his heart's content without being reprimanded by his family.
Even if people have grown up, the game hall has become a memory of the post-80s and post-90s. What is rare is that Zhao Jiafu has always adhered to his ideals for so many years. After working for a few years and saving enough savings, I finally got my wish and opened an old-fashioned game hall.
The equipment is all antique, and the games are indeed a lot behind compared to the new computer and mobile games that are constantly being introduced.
It is conceivable that even if there is nothing to do in the past six months, business is not much better.
It's expensive because he enjoys it. If there are no guests, they will play by themselves, or pull Xu Da together.
It's common to not open for a day, but fortunately, his parents set up a factory, and he has a little family money for him to consume. Otherwise, it would have been closed long ago.
But the stir-fry restaurant, which should have an absolute flow of customers, is rarely patronized by diners. In the long run, even if Daddy Li has some savings, he can't withstand the wear and tear for a long time.
In recent days, Xu Da has been worried about Daddy Li's affairs.
I want to waive his rent, but I am not happy with 10,000, and if I mention it again, I will directly pack up my things and go back to my hometown, and I will have a donkey.
After a simple trimming, seeing that the time was about the same, and with the motivation to make money, Xu Da prepared the woven bag early and dragged Zhao Jiafu to the largest small commodity wholesale market in Taowu City to buy.
Seeing that he had bought thousands of yuan of goods, thinking that this was Xu Da's last net worth, Zhao Jiafu couldn't help but persuade him: "The property has not been solved yet, is it too risky to buy so many goods?"
In fact, Xu Da also thinks so.
There's no way, this is already the only opportunity in front of me, and there is no income, and my parents and sister can't explain it. I can't let my sister, who hasn't recovered yet, stop rehabilitation.
"There's always a way. I definitely won't pay for the hygiene!"
Xu Da is still a little bottomless in his heart.
In the evening, go to Yanxing Square as usual to set up a stall. As soon as he appeared, he was really targeted by the property gang.
Two security guards came over one after another and reminded Xu Da to go to the property office as soon as possible to pay the arrears of 20 yuan in sanitation bills.
At first, he was quite polite, but seeing that he was still unmoved, the security guard put down the cruel words: "Our leader said, if you don't pay the health fee, you won't have to set up a stall tomorrow, don't believe it, let's see!"
As soon as the elegant uncle and the others who were concerned about the development of the situation left, they sighed helplessly, "Xiao Xu, take a step back and open the sky." I really don't let you set up a stall in the square, and you are still the one who loses. ”
Knowing that he was kind, Xu Da nodded silently and did not speak.
He still insists on his idea, maybe he is too young, his family conditions were okay in the past, and he has not experienced the beating of society.
Xu Da is worried that once he compromises, he will encourage the arrogance of the other party.
What should I do if I ask for sanitation fees today and management fees tomorrow?
Fortunately, the popularity of the ring is the same as yesterday, while everyone is still fresh, Xu Da's mobile phone has not been idle, and the prompt sound of change entering the account will ring every few minutes.
It's not that no one asked Xu Da what the principle was, but he was sloppy and prevaricated.
Noticing his plausible eyes, passers-by thought it was a trade secret, so they didn't embarrass him anymore.
"Niu Niu, why did you come here again?"
For the pet who abandoned himself several times, but ran to Xu Da's arms, Lele had nothing to do.
Xu Da was also very helpless, looking at the small things under his feet, shaking the specially trimmed peach heart buttocks, no matter how cute the shape was, because of the touching leg length, the four little feet didn't know how many times they were stepped on by passers-by.
Even so, he still insisted on leaning forward to Xu Da.
Lele noticed the ice cream stand opposite, and immediately thought of a good idea to regain his pet.
"Niu Niu, my sister is going to buy you your favorite strawberry ice cream, wait for me." ”
Ignoring Niu Niu, who was showing goodwill, was calculating today's income according to the flow of passengers, a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Da.
Because he was impatient that the other party blocked the light, Xu Da frowned unconsciously, "I'm sorry, I have to line up to the side." ”
As soon as the words fell, a light snort entered the ear, sounding ...... Well, Xu Da felt very unhappy.
"I thought there was something good, but it turned out to be a collar. Not to mention what means you use to achieve it, you can really achieve 100 shots, and in terms of your pricing, it is also a sure loss. ”
It's not good, it was seen through the next day?
