Chapter 97: Fighting wits and courage
At night, a bright red sunset on the horizon reflects the soft warmth of this reinforced concrete city.
General Li stood at the door of the hotel, his ears and temples a little sweaty, and he was skillfully picking up a pot helmet with a clip and stuffing it into a paper bag.
In front of him stood a young couple, with a small bench next to him. There is a large iron basin on the pot helmet cart, and in the iron basin is half a pot of dumplings, and there is a pair of chopsticks. One of the dumplings is only halfway bite, revealing the mouth-watering shiitake mushroom filling inside.
"Two bucks. ”
General Li handed the pot helmet to the girl in the couple, and when he saw the man take out his mobile phone, he smiled and pointed to the two QR codes posted on the pot helmet cart, and said according to what Cheng Yun taught him: "Alipay and >." After watching the two leave, he picked up the iron basin and sat down again, eating the dumplings he had just made today.
Today's business is very good! Although there is a reason for the discount, he is still very happy! It means that he has the capital to gain a foothold in this world, and he no longer has to worry about everything. When he gets permission from the station master to go out in the future, he can learn about the world more freely.
The mood is good, and the food is good, and it is even more fragrant!
Occasionally, the guests of the hotel came in and out, and saw General Li sitting outside and everyone inside snoring and eating dumplings, and they also looked at them more or less.
Some young guests who came to Jinguan to play chatted with the front desk a little more when they checked in, barely a little familiar, and said hello when they came in and out-
"Wow, you're eating dumplings tonight!"
Yin Nuxia and General Li originally only thought that the process of making dumplings was very interesting and warm, but after seeing the reactions of these people, they couldn't help but feel a little strange, and after asking Cheng Yan, they knew that dumplings are a food with some special meaning in Chinese tradition. Even in this era when many people have classified frozen dumplings as 'convenience food', this special significance is still more or less retained.
At half past eight in the evening, General Li finally closed his stall.
Cheng Yun sat in the front desk watching the TV series, and next to him sat Cheng Yan, who was like a patron saint.
Tang Qingying, as the object guarded against by Cheng Yan, sat beside General Li at this time, holding his mobile phone to help General Li settle accounts, as if he didn't know that someone was watching out for him.
"Two hundred and sixty-four paper money was received. General Li finally finished counting the pile of change and looked up at Tang Qingying who was holding Cheng Yun's mobile phone.
"Alipay received one hundred and four today, and WeChat is one hundred and fifty-two, adding up to a total of two hundred and ninety-two. Tang Qingying said, pausing for a moment and said, "It adds up to five hundred and fifty-six, and you have sold two hundred and seventy-eight pot helmets today!
"You're so fast!" General Li praised, "so today's income is a total of five hundred and fifty-six yuan, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"Today I used up two bags of flour, and there is only a third of the bag left, and each bag of flour is eighteen yuan and five cents. In addition to this, there is vegetable oil ......"
"Wait, you say slow down. Tang Qingying turned on the calculator on his mobile phone, "Come next to each other, 18.5 bags of flour, even if the third bag uses sixty-five percent, 18.5 times 2.65, how to calculate vegetable oil......
“……”
Cheng Yan sat at the front desk and looked at her expressionlessly.
Finally, General Li said with a happy face: "Doesn't this mean that I have earned a total of nearly five hundred yuan today!"
Tang Qingying is also a little incredible, but that's the way it is.
Yin Nuxia was also stunned, listening to the number of five hundred yuan, she felt a little dizzy in her brain, and hurriedly folded her fingers and calculated: "Five hundred yuan a day, thirty days a month, five hundred thirty is ...... No, no, thirty five hundred ......"
In the end, she gave up very wittily and said to Tang Qingying: "Five hundred dollars a day, how much is a month?"
"Fifteen thousand. ”
"I'm a mother!" Yin Nuxia's eyes widened suddenly, "It's so profitable to sell pot helmets?...... And how did you calculate such a large number so quickly?"
"Fools can figure it out!"
"Nonsense!" Yin Nuxia's expression froze, "Then why didn't I figure it out!"
“……”
Yin Nuxia didn't have time to worry about whether Tang Qingying was secretly making an abacus in her head, but opened her mouth blankly: "Fifteen thousand dollars, how long will it take me to earn it, why don't I sell pot helmets......"
"Sister Yin Dan, wake up!" Tang Qingying shook her with a smile, shattering her illusion lightly, "You can't be a pot helmet at all!"
"Oh!"
Cheng Yun smiled beside him and said: "To be honest, I never thought that this thing would be so profitable, it seems that the people of my Dayizhou are really delicious! If this continues, even if the sales volume will drop tomorrow without discounts, the single profit will increase by seven or eighty percent, and Li Jing's monthly income of tens of thousands of dollars is really not a problem!
General Li smiled, he was embarrassed to thank the station master directly, so he had to say: "Everyone has helped well." ”
Yin Nuxia was still a little dumbfounded.
Cheng Yun had to pat her on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be unbalanced in your heart, although Li Jing earns a lot, but in fact, he is tired of getting up early and staying late, standing outside all day long, how can you be comfortable! You are a little busy in the morning and noon, and you are playing the rest of the time, and you can sit inside and play games with air conditioning, how comfortable!"
When it came to the game, Yin Nuxia felt a lot better, and said deeply: "It makes sense." ”
Tang Qingying interjected beside him: "Brother Kejing can also ...... when he sells pot helmets."
Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Cheng Yun's eyes.
At this time, Cheng Yan saw that the front desk was quieter, and then said lightly to Tang Qingying: "Tang Qingying, it's getting late, it's getting dark, and your account is finished, should you go back?"
Tang Qingying was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say okay, just call me young......"
"Oh well. Cheng Yan shrugged, his expression was very calm, "Tang Yaoyao, you should go back, it's a little unsafe for the girl to be alone if it's too late." ”
"Hmm......" Tang Qingying suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "Yanyan, won't you go back with me?"
"I don't, I'll live here. ”
"Where do you live?"
Next to Cheng Yun. ”
"Oh, that suite!" Tang Qingying's eyes suddenly lit up, "I remember that there is a sofa in the living room of the suite, which is quite ......."
"No!" Cheng Yan interrupted expressionlessly before she could speak, "You can't stay home at night." ”
"You won't be able to go home at night!"
"I'm not calling it a night away, it's going home on the weekend. Cheng Yan said calmly.
"Hey......" Tang Qingying's expression became aggrieved again, "I'm not sleeping next to you, and I won't disturb you, as for being so hard-hearted! By the way, it seems that the living room of my brother-in-law's room also has a ......."
"Not even more!" Cheng Yan suddenly interrupted.
"Why?"
"I'm worried about your safety. Cheng Yan, who realized that he was a little out of shape, slowed down his tone slightly, and pointed at Cheng Yun again, "Don't look at this guy who is humble and gentleman on the surface, he seems to have a good temper and personality, but in fact, he was a little hooligan before, and now he is even more human-faced and beast-hearted, I am afraid that you are young and ignorant, and you can't tell the good from the bad of people, in case there is a good or bad ......."
"I believe in brother-in-law!"
"No way!"
"But my brother-in-law hasn't spoken yet...... Shouldn't it be up to the brother-in-law to decide?"
"You can sleep in my room!" Cheng Yan finally compromised.
