Bao Zhipeng listened to Tao Xueming in a daze, he didn't understand what gross profit was and what cost was.

He only knew that in one night, he earned ten yuan, which was three hundred a month.

If you can really earn 300 a month, it is much better than a part-time job.

Tao Xueming patted Bao Zhipeng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't worry, I won't cheat you, I will give you as much as I should give you." ”

Bao Zhipeng nodded subconsciously, he believed that his brother would not lie to him.

"Outside the door, there seems to be a person. Bao Zhipeng stretched out his hand and pointed.

Tao Xueming turned his head and found that there was really a person standing outside the window.

"Who's there?"

He shouted.

The man swooped and ran away.

Tao Xueming hurriedly got up and ran out, and when he ran to the street, the person was gone.

"It's a woman. ”

Tao Xueming muttered, that person seemed to be wearing a ponytail, and he didn't know who it was.

He didn't think much about it, maybe people were just passing by and took a curious look.

……

February 7, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Tao Xueming got up early to clean up, and after eating two steamed buns casually, he began to prepare for business.

He had already calculated last night that according to the current situation, minus the winter weather, minus the water temperature, and calculating the heat loss, one ton of coal can burn more than 70 tons of hot water.

On average, each person needs about 150 catties of water to take a bath, and if you count 400 people a day, it is 30 tons of water.

It costs about half a ton of coal.

And 400 people can earn 80 yuan, minus the cost of coal, rent and labor, and they can make about 60 yuan.

Water costs are negligible.

In a month, you can earn at least 2,000 yuan.

Tao Xueming took a deep breath, two thousand a month, which is not less, but this is not enough, because the bath will be expanded in the later stage, and some seats will be bought back, which can be used for people to rest.

It all costs money.

Anyway, the month before, don't think about making money.

"Can I take a shower today?"

A guest came in outside, and Tao Xueming hurriedly showed a smile: "Yes, the water has already been prepared." ”

"Young man, what about your family, why do you see you every day. ”

The other party asked.

"If the adults aren't there, I'll help watch first. ”

Tao Xueming said with a smile.

After receiving the money, the other party went in, and after a while, guests kept coming in to take a bath outside the door.

After a few hours passed, there were more and more guests outside, and Tao Xueming registered by himself, but he couldn't be busy.

Eventually, the hall began to queue up, as the bathhouse was already overcrowded and it was impossible to enter.

Tao Xueming himself couldn't believe that opening a bathhouse could be so popular, and almost every family, big and small, came to take a bath.

He thought to himself, maybe everyone had nothing to do during the New Year, so he wanted to come over and wash.

In winter, there are really too few bathing conditions at home, so they are willing to spend two cents to come over and take a hot shower.

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and in the evening, Tao Xueming poured a drawer of change on the table.

He and Bao Zhipeng began to settle accounts.

"How much do you have?"

"I've got thirty-five dollars and four cents here. ”

"I'm about sixty yuan and eight cents. ”

After speaking, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw an incredible color.

On this day, I actually earned a hundred yuan!

Tao Xueming couldn't believe it, he hurriedly picked up the account book, he would make a record of how many people took a bath a day.

After all, there were nearly 500 people who came to take a bath today!

"Incredible!"

Tao Xueming himself was stunned, the bathhouse with a flow of five hundred people was really beyond his budget.

I thought that it would be good to have three or four hundred people in Dingpotian, but who would have thought that there would be so many.

And that's only the first day of business, so maybe more people will come and wash in the future.

"Taozi, we are rich, we are really going to get rich, this is too profitable. ”

Bao Zhipeng began to tremble with excitement, earning 100 yuan a day, which was something he couldn't have imagined before.

Tao Xueming exhaled lightly, it was good to earn a hundred a day, but it was still not enough.

"Sixty-four accounts, minus the cost, you can get about thirty yuan. ”

Tao Xueming said, wrote it in the account book, and at the end of the month, it was a dividend.

Bao Zhipeng was even more excited, earning thirty a day, and more than three hundred a month, which was more than those adults earned.

"Coal factory, are you still going?"

Tao Xueming asked with a smile.

"I'm going to the ball, I'm not doing it!"

Bao Zhipeng couldn't help laughing, on this day, he earned more than he made in a month over there, so a fool went there.

Tao Xueming said with a smile: "I said before, follow me and guarantee that you will get rich." ”

"In the past two days, let's go buy some old sofas or something, so that those people can take a shower and lie down and rest. ”

"We took the opportunity to renovate the second floor and make it a small box or something. ”

Bao Zhipeng nodded again and again, everything was up to the other party, he just burned the stove, and didn't care about anything else.

"Taozi, if your stepmother knew that you made so much money......"

"Don't let her know yet. ”

Tao Xueming opened his mouth and said: "If she knows, she will definitely rob me of my money, so she must keep it secret." ”

Bang bang!

Suddenly, someone outside smashed on the door.

Tao Xueming hid the money, got up and opened the door, and found the employees in the factory standing outside.

"Taozi, come with us to the factory, I have something to look for you. ”

Tao Xueming's face was full of doubts, he had already resigned, what were you looking for him to do.

"Buns, pack them up and go to the factory. ”

"Okay. ”

Bao Zhipeng hurriedly turned off the lights, and the two followed the workers to the factory together.

"Brother Tie, what's the matter?"

Tao Xueming asked with a smile.

"Haven't you heard that on Chinese New Year's Eve, another woman died, still an employee in our factory. ”

"I heard that at the scene of the crime, there were gloves left behind, which were from our factory. ”

Tao Xueming was secretly surprised in his heart, did the murder on Chinese New Year's Eve really happen.

Ten minutes later, the two came to the coal factory.

All the workers were standing outside, and the uniformed policemen were taking notes, asking questions one by one.

Tao Xueming and the two stood in the crowd, took a look, and soon saw Li Cui, the mother-in-law, and the team leader Wang.

At this time, Director Li came over, and the scene quieted down.

"It's so painful, how can this happen in my factory. ”

Director Li was very sad at first, and then said angrily: "Sister Feng has been working in the factory for almost ten years, and she still has an eight-year-old child at home...... What brute did such a thing!"

In the end, Director Li burst into tears and began to wipe his tears.

Many employees in the factory are also full of tears.

Tao Xueming muttered in his mouth, after the Chinese New Year, these people don't go home for the New Year, why are they still working.

"Everybody look at me. ”

The director, that is, Li Cui's uncle, appeared, and the other party was holding a white glove for moving bricks from a construction site.

"This glove was left by the suspect and was also distributed by the factory...... In other words, the murderer is very likely to be in our crowd. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and many people's eyes showed horror, and the murderer was hiding in them, which was also terrible.

The director held up the glove and said, "Come and see, whoever recognizes this pair of gloves, and if anyone can identify the murderer, we will reward him with twenty yuan on the spot!"

Hearing this, many people were moved, and they could get twenty yuan if they recognized whose gloves it was, and many people took the initiative to identify them.

Bao Zhipeng couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to identify it.

He looked at the gloves carefully, and suddenly, his face changed slightly.

Bao Zhipeng didn't say anything, silently turned around and went back, and walked to Tao Xueming.

"Taozi, what do I think of that glove, it seems to be your ......"

Bao Zhipeng lowered his voice and said.

"How is that possible. ”

Tao Xueming cried and laughed: "I resigned a long time ago, what does it have to do with me." ”

"Wait a minute, I think I know this glove. ”

Team Leader Wang of the workshop stared at this pair of gloves carefully, and then said, "This, it seems to be mine." ”

Hearing this, the director was about to prepare to arrest people immediately.

"Wait a minute, I said the gloves are mine, but not necessarily me, I know who wears them. ”

Team Leader Wang turned around, raised his arm, and stretched out his hand to point at a person in the crowd: "This glove should be his." ”

"I'll ......"

Tao Xueming was stunned, is there any mistake, what does this broken glove have to do with him.

"Team Leader Wang, are you sure it's his?"

The director asked with a calm face.

"It's true!"

Team Leader Wang nodded and said very solemnly: "On the first day this kid came, I remember that I gave him gloves and entrusted them to him. ”

Later, after this kid quit his job, the gloves were not returned to the factory, which must have been his. ”

"Arrest people. ”

Several police officers immediately rushed over and held Tao Xueming down.

"Wronged, wronged, listen to my explanation. ”

"Explain what, go back in the explanation, take away. ”

Tao Xueming was forcibly taken away, and he didn't even have a chance to explain.

Bao Zhipeng beside him was directly scared to pee, he had never experienced this kind of thing since he was a child, and his frightened head was blank.

And Team Leader Wang, because he identified the murderer, rewarded him with 20 yuan on the spot.

All employees applauded.

Captain Li said loudly: "All of us must learn from Team Leader Wang, even in the face of murderers, we must stand up bravely, justice is always on the side of us who are kind and honest." ”

At the same time, Team Leader Wang has also made a contribution, and the factory will consider giving Team Leader Wang better treatment conditions. ”

Team Leader Wang was very excited: "Thank you, thank you to the factory for trusting me so much, I will definitely work harder in the future." ”

"Dad, what are you doing, I haven't found out anything clearly, how can you think that someone is the murderer. ”

Li Cui said dissatisfied.

"The evidence is all at the scene, and the person must have been killed by him. Director Li said with a smile.

Li Cui rolled her eyes, what if it was a misunderstanding, she didn't believe that a teenager could do such a thing.
