Taozi's family has three tiled houses, and he and his grandmother live on both sides, and the remaining middle is used as a living room.

When Chen Shi and Taozi arrived, Zheng Tong was watching "Huanzhu Gege", while Uncle Zheng and his wife were talking with Taozi's grandmother.

Grandma Taozi's ears and eyes are not very good, so she has to speak louder than usual, otherwise she can't hear anything at all, so Zheng Tong turned off the sound of the TV to the minimum and barely could hear it, so as not to let the old man hear the sound.

Uncle Zheng saw Chen Shi and greeted, "Xiao Chen is here?"

Chen Shi greeted Uncle Zheng and his wife, and after taking a seat, Taozi brought the food from the kitchen and placed them on the table one by one. While helping Taozi, Aunt Zheng said to Zheng Tong: "Don't look at it, hurry up and help, and we'll eat right away." ”

Zheng Tong muttered, threw away the remote control in his hand, and got up to help with the meal.

Chen Shi has just finished eating, and now he is going to eat again, but he is a person who eats a lot of food, and he and Sister Lu ate Western food before, and they are not full at all, not to mention that they eat too early, and they will start eating before five o'clock, if they don't eat now, they will definitely wake up hungry in the middle of the night, so he is not polite when eating.

Tao Zi didn't drink at home, I don't know if he didn't dare to drink at home or he didn't usually drink much? But Chen Shi didn't have such a big alcohol addiction, there were more than a dozen home-cooked dishes on the dinner table, which looked very exquisite, Chen Shi was a little puzzled, Tao Zi could make such a dish?

He asked, "Taozi, did you make these dishes?"

Tao Zi said, "How can I cook? "His aunt is Aunt Zheng.

Chen Shi praised and said, "Aunt Zheng's cooking skills are so good? ”

Aunt Zheng said with a smile: "If you like to eat, eat more, although we are in the city, we are all farmers, there is nothing to entertain, they are all home-cooked food, Xiao Chen should not dislike it." ”

Where would Chen Shi dislike it, while eating, he nodded and praised Aunt Zheng's cooking skills.

Except for Chen Shi at the table, they are all a family, only he is an outsider, but he is not so restrained, he eats when he should eat, drinks when he should drink, and is not polite. While eating, Aunt Zheng asked Chen Shi about the situation, how many people are in the family, what other relatives are there, what are the conditions at home, and so on. Chen Shi didn't hide it, after all, he had lived in her house for more than a month, and he still had a certain understanding of Aunt Zheng, and he could be regarded as an acquaintance.

Aunt Zheng asked him while telling Taozi's grandmother about his situation, Taozi's grandmother kept smiling, nodding from time to time, praising Chen Shi from time to time, and complaining from time to time that Taozi was naughty and disobedient. When she said this, Chen Shi was embarrassed, and Taozi on the side was full of helplessness, and from time to time she talked back to her grandmother.

Uncle Zheng also said a few words about Tao Zi from time to time, mainly saying that he caused trouble in society, mixed up with some fox friends and dog friends, and had an accident sooner or later, etc., which made Tao Zi depressed.

Tao Zi invited him today, originally wanted to talk about his future life events, and wanted to convince his grandmother, but he didn't expect that everyone would ruthlessly criticize him at the beginning, so that he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

However, what made Tao Zi happy was that her cousin Zheng Tong didn't say a word, and she was either buried in eating or distracted from watching TV at the dinner table, which was a bit unexpected.

In Tao Zi's eyes, his cousin has always had opinions about himself, usually either criticizing or educating, and sometimes he didn't even dare to be alone with his cousin, because his cousin was so angry that he couldn't resist it, and he didn't expect her to be so quiet today.

The family talked about the disadvantages of Taozi, and Chen Shi had to say a good word for Taozi: "Actually, Taozi is still very good, he is still so young, it doesn't matter if he makes a small mistake, as long as he can change it." He showed up and made a move, and it was not a big deal if he failed, at most it was just another time, as long as he had the heart to do something and no longer messed around with society all day long, his future was still very good. ”

Tao Zi heard someone say good things for him, and secretly gave Chen Shi a thumbs up.

When Aunt Zheng heard this, she smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, if you can take Taozi to do something serious, we have no objection, but if you want him to contribute some capital, then we are a little worried, after all, he has a criminal record, you don't know, he once lied to his grandmother that he wanted to buy review materials in order to smoke online, and then he took the money to go to the Internet café, and now we are a little worried." ”

After all, Taozi's reputation is not very good, so that his family can't believe him, and he is really unproductive. But since he did such a thing, it's no wonder that his family doesn't trust him.

Chen Shi thought for a while and said: "Actually, Taozi doesn't have to have so much money if he wants to do something, if he follows me, he doesn't need a penny, as long as he listens to me, although he can't make a fortune, at least there is no shortage of food and drink." ”

Of course, Chen Shi dared to say such big words, of course, he was confident, he had a lot of projects in mind, but he couldn't find a suitable person, and he didn't have any extra start-up capital for the time being.

Uncle Zheng asked, "You don't sell fried rice noodles now, what are you going to do?"

Chen Shi said that he was going to open a fast food restaurant, and also said the contract signed with Sister Lu, but he was not ready to let Tao Zi do catering, with Tao Zi's character, it is not suitable to do catering, he is an active person, and he is impatient in the catering industry, and it is not good if he does not take it seriously.

Aunt Zheng asked, "Are you going to let him do catering with you?"

Chen Shi didn't answer yet, but Tao Zi objected: "I don't do it, working in a restaurant is not free at all, I can't be restrained." ”

Chen Shi comforted him and said: "Don't worry, it's not a catering, there are a lot of profitable businesses these days, what I let you do will not be a regular job, I will let you be free, of course, you must be serious, otherwise you will lose money, as long as you take it seriously, I guarantee you thousands a month." ”

At present, the basic salary of a month for working outside the country is only a few hundred yuan, even the salary of a teacher in the countryside is less than 800, and the average salary of white-collar workers in the city is about 1,000 yuan at most.

"What are you going to let me do?" Tao Zi asked.

Chen Shi said: "You have just graduated, you are quite familiar with the school, and you should know some people in the school, I want you to sell review materials." ”

Earning students' money is the easiest, Chinese parents can spare no effort in order to let their children get into a good school, and even go bankrupt, because the college entrance examination is a door to change one's destiny for a person, just like a carp, jumping through the dragon gate can change oneself. Look at the college entrance examination army in later generations, parents brave the cold and heat to wait for the students to get a good score, they can endure any kind of hardship, and no parent will lack the money for a few review materials.

Tao Zi was not happy to say: "Can you make money by selling review materials?How many people will buy it?" He had just come out of school, and of course he didn't want to enter school again, even if it wasn't for school.

Chen Shi didn't know what he was thinking, but explained: "As far as I know, there is no bookstore in the county that specializes in selling review materials, and students buy review materials from the teacher, and there is no room for negotiation in the price. ”

Now the education industry is not as developed as a few years later, not to mention that this is a small county town in the southwest mountainous area, all kinds of review materials have not entered here at all, at this time it can be said that it is a blank market, as long as you can get the supply, you will definitely not worry about not selling.

Of course, most of them are obtained by school teachers, some of them are sold on behalf of the school, and some of them are copied by school printing tools, which is very inefficient, but if there is a bookstore that sells review materials, and the price is still cheap, then he believes that the business will not be bad.

He said his thoughts, and Uncle Zheng asked, "Do you have a source of review materials?"

Of course Chen Shi didn't, but as long as he had the heart, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find it? What's more, he knew the famous Huanggang materials in the future, so he could go straight to the Xinhua bookstore in the city and ask about the situation in the bookstore first.

This is not the point, the real focus is on the sales problem, how to make the students believe, how to make the students pay for it, this is a difficult problem.

Who do students believe? Of course, they believe in the teacher, so if you want to sell revision materials, of course, you have to build a good relationship with the teacher in the third year of high school.

Tao Zi was a celebrity in high school, but he was notorious in school, so it was difficult for him to gain the trust of his teachers.

Chen Shi said his worries, Uncle Zheng pondered and thought, Aunt Zheng is not very familiar with this, but she is a businessman, so she naturally knows how to deal with Da, so she said to Taozi: "I see that you go to invite the former head teacher to have a meal, like him to inquire about the situation, if he continues to teach the third year of high school, you still have a chance, just see if you can pull down your face, don't always look like a hanger, and don't look down on anyone, the most important thing in business is to put down." ”

As soon as he heard his aunt's words, Tao Zi's head was big, and he invited Chen Shilai to persuade his grandmother to get some money from his grandmother to open an Internet café, but he didn't expect that talking and talking would become him following Chen Shishi and becoming someone else's follower, which made him very uncomfortable.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. The more Tao Zi thought about it, the more angry he became, and said angrily.

As soon as he said this, Chen Shi had no choice, after all, he was just an outsider, and he was not anyone, so he didn't have any right to care about him, so he had to smile with him.

Aunt Zheng is different, because she didn't have time to manage him well, she felt a little guilty when Tao Zi learned badly, and now when she heard Tao Zi pick and choose, she suddenly became angry, and said sarcastically: "You don't do this, you don't do that, what else do you want to do? Look at it, Xiao Chen is about the same age as you, but how long has he only been in the county? It's just more than a month, you see that everyone is the boss, you have been in the county for more than ten years, and you are still a gangster, what do you want?" If you don't want to eat in a prison cell in the future, you can make money honestly, and if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and who will stop you when the time comes?"
