Chapter 23: New Ideas
Chen Kai breathed a sigh of relief, after the rainstorm, compared with other people's houses, his stall looked quite regular.
The tables and chairs of my stall are a square table cushion at the bottom, and the folding table and plastic bench are tied with rope on top of the square table, and the rope is fixed to the handle outside the pavilion.
Probably because of the heavy weight, only the bottom square table legs were immersed in water, and the other tables, chairs and benches were not washed away.
Chen Kai first picked up a bamboo pole, then stretched the awning to the very open, and used the bamboo pole to poke the water on the awning little by little.
Wow...... Wow......
Streams of water burst out along the awning, like small waterfalls.
"Chen Kai, your side...... Burst...... Phew. A figure recklessly ran to the front of the stall and was caught off guard by the water in the awning.
Chen Kai didn't expect someone to suddenly appear under the shed, and hurriedly put down the bamboo pole.
"What kind of plane? You have a Songkran Festival!" Ding Yuan stood under the shed, his face covered with water droplets, and he had a bitter expression.
"Sorry, sorry, I really didn't see it. Chen Kai hurriedly took a towel and handed it to Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan wiped his face with a towel and asked, "There's nothing wrong with you here, I see that the rice in Lao Huang's pavilion is soaked in water." ”
"I haven't had time to look at it, but as soon as I cleared the water on the awning, you came over and waited for me to take a look. ”
Chen Kai took out the key to the utility kiosk, opened the pavilion, and pulled the door.
Wow......
The water in the pavilion suddenly overflowed from the height of the feet and necks.
"I'll go!" Chen Kai saw this posture, and his pavilion became a water tank overnight.
When the stagnant water was almost full, Chen Kai entered the pavilion and saw that there was no problem with the split stove shelf and the kitchen utensils on it.
But some dried vegetables, auxiliary materials, garlic and other things that were originally placed on the ground were soaked in water, and I knew that I couldn't use them anymore without checking them.
Chen Kai sighed softly, turned his head to Ding Yuan and said, "It's okay, just soak some green onions, ginger and garlic, and I'll buy new ones when I go back." ”
Ding Yuan wiped his face clean and said to Chen Kai: "I haven't seen such a rainstorm for several years, and my stall is also flooded with Jinshan." ”
Chen Kai looked up and looked around: "It seems that everyone can't open their businesses at noon today." ”
Ding Yuan shook his head: "It's not just noon, just now the property came over, saying that the main lights on the street were so bad that they were drenched in heavy rain, and if they were to open in the dark at night, I don't think anyone would come." ”
Chen Kai crossed his waist with one hand, touched his chin with the other, thought for a long time, and said to Ding Yuan: "Old Ding, is there any neighborhood nearby that still has a façade for external transfer?"
Ding Yuan was stunned for a moment, and looked Chen Kai up and down: "What are you doing?
"I'm just thinking about it, it's not ...... yet"
"Don't!" Ding Yuan's face suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly interrupted Chen Kai.
"Don't just think about it! Whenever there is a wind and rain in the food street, the business is very affected, I have long wanted to find a face, and it is rare to meet a like-minded person. ”
Chen Kai was stunned: "What like-mindedness?"
"I wanted to open a store before, but the business was definitely not so good at the beginning, and the rent for me to dig the store alone is estimated to be enough.
Now you have this idea, I also have this idea, we partner together, invest one person and a half, and make five or five cents of money, you mainly make fast food, and I will set up a rack outside the door to make barbecue. ”
Chen Kai thought about it, if it was just a partnership investment, one would cook inside anyway, and the other would barbecue outside, so there would be little interference.
After a deep groan, Chen Kai nodded: "Okay, it's better to open a store together than alone, you have looked at the façade before, is there anything that can be eye-catching?"
Ding Yuan thought for a while: "The Four Seasons Community, which is a little west from middle school, has a lot of people there, so I'll go and see it together, anyway, it won't be able to open at noon." ”
Chen Kai nodded: "Then let's go and have a look." ”
Since he was going to see the transfer of the nearby storefront, Chen Kai simply began to clean up the stall.
With Ding Yuan's help, Chen Kai quickly cleaned up the traces of yesterday's rainstorm in the stall, locked the things, and the two of them set off.
Chen Kai went to the side and rode the tricycle over, and Ding Yuan sat in the back car to show Chen Kai the way.
The two of them swayed all the way, passed Ninggang Middle School, rode about two or three hundred meters, a beige exterior wall, and a six-story residential building dominated by the community appeared in front of them.
The car rode to the side of the road, Chen Kai came down to take a look, Ding Yuan had the expression of an old lady in a rickshaw, and Chen Kai laughed angrily.
"You're using me as a coachman, aren't you, get out of here. ”
Throwing the giggling Ding Yuan out of the car and locking the car, Chen Kai took a look and found that the exterior walls of many buildings in the Four Seasons Community were a little faded.
"This community has been around for some years, right?" Chen Kai asked Ding Yuan as he observed.
"Don't think that this community is old, it's close to the school, and it's the only way to go to the county center, there are a lot of people who go to work, and many parents who accompany them also rent their houses here. ”
Chen Kai observed the surroundings of the community, and when he looked up, there were indeed many people coming and going on the sidewalk.
"Well, it does seem like a good place to open a store, and there are a lot of people. ”
Ding Yuan looked very professional: "I have long been in love with this place, and I have come to this neighborhood to ask, but unfortunately the rent of the smaller façade is more than 3,000 yuan a month, and I am enough for myself." ”
Chen Kai glanced at Ding Yuan: "How can I feel like I'm on a thief ship?"
Ding Yuan said with a smile: "You brought up the façade matter first, and then we will take a look at the door of the community." ”
Chen Kai nodded, and the two walked to the gate of the Four Seasons Community.
At the entrance of the community is an east-west street, with Ninggang Middle School and Ninggang Primary School to the east, and the business district in the center of the county to the west.
The community is a traditional residential area, and there are not too many bells and whistles at the gate supported by coffee-colored columns, except for a security booth, two lanes in and out, and sidewalks on the side.
Many uncles and aunts sat on the walking belt at the entrance of the community, some chatted with great interest, some were in a daze, and some had already started playing mahjong.
There are also some young parents who are pushing carts and taking their children for a walk near the entrance of the community.
There is an iron bus stop sign near the east side of the gate, and many young people are waiting for the bus.
The entrance of the Four Seasons Community extends to both sides of the single-storey façade with steps, and when you look from the outside to the inside, it is between 30 and 60 square meters.
It may be that the age of the community is some years, and the business at the entrance of the community is very mature, and there are all kinds of things.
There are small clothing stores, dry cleaners, convenience supermarkets, lottery betting stations, snack shops, chestnut stalls, barber shops, printing shops, photo studios, and community health clinics.
Chen Kai felt a little strange, and after taking a closer look, there were many types of facades that could be seen in front of him, except for ...... Food & Beverage.
The most eye-catching storefront at the entrance of the community is a fast food restaurant called Duoduoke, which seems to be the only restaurant within the eye.
The location of the façade of this Duoduoke is about ten meters west of the gate of the community, and it seems that it should be three stores to form one.
The gilded glass doors and glass windows are connected together, and there are three large ones in other people's houses, which looks more conspicuous.
In addition, there is a big signboard about four or five meters long "Duoduoke Chinese Fast Food", which can be seen at a glance even across the road.
Chen Kai and Ding Yuan looked along the street façade one by one.
"I don't really see any other fast food snacks or anything like that. ”
The two couldn't help but be curious about the only restaurant, and when they passed by a lot of customers, they glanced inside through the glass door.
It's almost noon, and there are already a lot of diners inside.
Because of the variety of dishes, flexible combinations, and the taste of Chinese fast food, many office workers and student parties will also solve it here.
"Business is pretty good. Ding Yuan looked inside and sighed sincerely.
Chen Kai and Ding Yuan looked at it for a while, and they didn't stay any longer, after all, they had something to do, so they continued to move forward.
"Hey, there's a transfer here. ”
