Chapter 18: Buying a Computer

"Boss, what's the matter?" Xiaolian looked at Tao Zi before asking Chen Shi.

Chen Shi said: "Give him a bowl of yellow braised chicken rice and two duck necks." ”

Xiaolian retreated, but Tao Zi looked around, looking out of the door for a while, and looking at the kitchen window for a while. Chen Shi patted his head and said, "What do you see? The appearance of the thief's eyebrows, people still think you are a bad person, settle down." ”

Tao Zi smiled and asked: "You can really do this, not only is the business good, but the waiter is also very good-looking, I said how did you grow your brain? ”

Chen Shi didn't know if he was really joking, if he followed him, he would not be a gangster, but a businessman, but Taozi was still a certain distance from a businessman.

"Do you really think so, follow me?" Chen Shi asked incredulously.

"Really. Tao Zi said with certainty: "This time it's true, I've been playing games for the past few days, and I've been thinking about a lot of things during this period, I should do something serious, although I can't open an Internet café for the time being, but I think there will be a chance in the future, didn't you say that the Internet café is a money-making business? I don't think you will let go of this cash cow, right?"

He has not yet let go of the idea of opening an Internet café, and follows Chen Shi also wants to have the opportunity to manage the Internet café in the future, and have the opportunity to contact the Internet café, at this time his heart is full of fantasies about the future, of course, the fantasy is not how to work hard, but how to live happily in the Internet café.

Chen Shi didn't know what he was thinking, and asked seriously again: "You have to think clearly, follow me and don't do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, don't do some illegal and criminal things, I don't want to mix with society." ”

"I know, you're the boss!" Tao Zi said, "I'll do whatever you say, and I promise to listen to you." ”

Xiaolian brought yellow braised chicken rice and two duck necks, and Chen Shi said, "Hurry up and eat, and after eating, we will go to buy a computer." ”

Tao Zi looked at a bowl of fragrant rice, covered with a layer of chicken broth and a few pieces of chicken, and his saliva involuntarily remained, and he quickly picked up chopsticks and swallowed dates.

Chen Shi said with a smile: "How long have you not eaten? It's like a starving ghost reincarnated, eat slowly, be careful of choking you to death." ”

Tao Zi whimpered while eating, and said intermittently: "You don't know, I played games with my cousin for several days, she cooks instant noodles every day, and I eat them until I almost vomit, and now there is a bowl of rice that is delicious." ”

"Does your aunt care about you?"

Taozi said: "My aunt and uncle are busy, they don't eat at home except in the evening, and my cousin can't cook, so I have to cook instant noodles." ”

Since the invention of instant noodles, how many otaku and otaku have taken it as a staple food? Chen Shi also often eats instant noodles, but he has never felt like vomiting when he eats a bowl occasionally, and the taste is still quite good.

Suddenly, a homepage popped into his head. Laotan sauerkraut is not available now, and now the instant noodles on the market should be white elephants and Fumanduo, and even the braised beef barrels do not seem to be available, which may be a good business opportunity, the instant noodle market was very hot before the supply-side reform, and then gradually fell behind.

It's just that he has no money, and he can only smile bitterly when he thinks about it.

Taozi asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, hurry up and eat, there are so many words to eat. Chen Shi said slightly dissatisfied.

Tao Zi didn't stop because he was dissatisfied, and said while eating: "Don't say that you make it so decent, it tastes good, no wonder the business is so good, how do you make this duck neck?"

Chen Shi glared at him and said, "What are you doing? Stealing from teachers to learn art? This is a trade secret, how can you teach people casually?"

Tao Zi smiled awkwardly and continued to eat.

Half an hour later, Tao Zi finished eating, and the two set off and went straight to the electrical market.

The most sold in the electrical appliance market are televisions and washing machines, these two things, whether people in rural areas or cities, belong to that kind of necessities, and slightly more advanced consumer goods such as air conditioners, there is no market in the countryside for the time being, only people in the city will install, not to mention the more advanced products of computers, even few people in the city buy, therefore, there is only one selling computers in a huge county.

Chen Shi looked depressed, the computer here seemed to him to be terrible, not to mention bulky, the speed of operation is still very slow, the most important thing is that the software is only "Wen Jiuba", and it seems to be pirated, in his eyes as a person who has played with smartphones and tablets, this kind of thing is simply an antique, and it can even be said to be a cultural relic.

However, he didn't have a choice, and finally had to pay for a bulky and ugly Lenovo, which is still a famous brand, and in later generations, even if he is just a small citizen, but he is still very familiar with the word Lenovo, at least it is the best computer brand in China.

Chen Shi couldn't finish moving it all at once, but fortunately Taozi came with him, so after the two walked downstairs with the bulky computer, Taozi complained: "No wonder you invited me to dinner, it turned out that you wanted to pull me as a coolie, you had a premeditated plan." Businessmen are as good as ghosts, so be cautious next time you greet you. ”

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you would mess with me in the future?

Tao Zi stopped doing it now, and said excitedly: "How can this be done? Manly man, say one is one, since I have already said it, of course I will not regret it." ”

Chen Shi smiled and didn't say anything more, the two walked for a while, they were too tired, they quickly stopped to rest, and Taozi complained again: "I think let's find a board car! It's not expensive, this little thing, two yuan can be done." ”

Chen Shi was unmoved, and retorted: "Two yuan is enough for me to eat a meal, you only need one yuan for five yuan to eat a bowl of somen noodles, and you can pay two yuan?"

Of course Taozi won't come out, he smiled and quickly shook his head. He really couldn't understand that Chen Shi was doing so well in business, and he was actually stingy with these two yuan? In his opinion, these were all trivial matters, how could a person who did big things care about such a trivial matter all day long? Chen Shi didn't want to pay for it, so he would continue to suffer and shake his head in frustration.

Chen Shi asked him: "If you can't do this little thing, you still want to do big things?" You must learn to climb first and then learn to walk, otherwise you will fall and your bones will be broken. ”

Tao Zi was unconvinced: "Didn't you say that those who achieve big things are not informal? You don't even care about this little thing, what big thing can you achieve?"

Chen Shi smiled, he crossed his waist, looked at Tao Zi with a smile and asked, "This sentence is actually so misinterpreted by you? ”

Many people understand this sentence to mean that people who do big things don't care about the small things, but spend their minds on the big things. In fact, this interpretation is incorrect. First of all, they didn't understand the word restraint, what is restraint, restraint, this sentence should be the correct statement should be that people who achieve great things should not be constrained by small daily constraints, not constrained, not to say that they do not pay attention, not to say that they do not care about the details, the details can determine success or failure. The talk here is not to be constrained by small details and small daily routines, in fact, it should be about trade-offs, to know which details are important and which are insignificant.

"That's not what you mean, what does that mean?" Tao Zi asked.

Chen Shi asked him rhetorically: "What is the explanation for the obsession?"

Tao Zi scratched his head and said, "What do you mean?"

Chen Shi smiled and said: "It's the meaning of restraint and bondage, do you see that I am now restrained or bound? I'm having nothing to do now, save two yuan, it's okay to work hard, why should I waste those two dollars? If I'm very busy right now and don't have extra time, then don't say two yuan, even ten yuan and a hundred yuan, I'm willing to spend it, the key is to spend the money on the blade, do you know?"

Tao Zi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, his mind was confused, and he was suddenly dizzy by Chen Shi. Before he could think clearly, Chen Shi picked up the computer screen and left, leaving the host computer to Tao Zi, Tao Zi had no choice but to follow with a bitter face.

The electrical market was not far from where he lived, a twenty-minute walk away, and there was only one bus in the county, and it was not a good one, so the two of them had to walk on foot.

Twenty minutes passed quickly, they rested three times on the road, mainly because Tao Zi was tired, Chen Shi didn't feel too tired, and he walked very easily, Tao Zi couldn't do it, looking at his appearance, his face was pale and sweating, and his face was as ugly as if he had died a relative.

Chen Shi knew that Taozi had never done heavy work before, and he was tired of carrying a little thing, not because he was physically weak, but because he was not used to it.

Back at the rented house, Tao Zi was so tired that he crawled on Chen Shi's bed and said, "If you lose something, you have to compensate me." ”

"How do you want to compensate?" Chen Shi asked him as he installed the computer.

"Treat me to another meal, this time I'm going to order my own food, and I'm going to drink. Tao Zi thought for a while and then continued: "I still want to invite my brothers, and I can't forget a few brothers."

Chen Shi is very familiar with this kind of thing, but it is not his habit to invite others to dinner for no reason, and he is not willing to spend all day drinking with others, he has a lot of things to do, there are countless amounts of money waiting for him to earn, there is a beautiful and virtuous wife waiting for him to meet in this life, there are parents and sisters waiting for him to return to his hometown after becoming famous, how can he waste time on boring drinking?

But he didn't want to snub Taozi, thought about it and said: "Okay, but you drink by yourself, how much you drink is counted in my account, and I will bear the burden of eating, but I don't have time to fool around with you, I still have a lot to do." “

Tao Zi jumped up from his bed and said, "How can this work? How can you not be present for a treat? I can't say anything about it, so why don't you go have a drink." If Chen Shi doesn't go, then of course he is embarrassed to go, but others invite guests but can't even see people, what do you think about eating?
