Chapter 152: Windfall

When Dongmei learned from Director Bai that a small farmers' market was going to be built on a vacant lot south of the cadre building, she couldn't help but turn around. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

She knew that the opportunity to start her own business had come again.

Dongmei said with some excitement: "Director, you said that a small farmers' market will be built on the south side of the cadre building, is it true or false?"

Director Bai nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's true, as the director of the property management committee of the unit, can I still lie to you." “

Dongmei stepped forward and asked Director Bai, "That farmer's market, what kind of farmer's market is it?"

Director Bai said: "The farmer's market will be divided into one side that sells rice, one that sells vegetables, and one side that sells non-staple food, and this farmer's market is different from the general farmer's market, because it has a roof, so no matter whether it is windy or rainy, the people who do business in this market will not be affected." “

Hearing that this farmers' market was so advanced, Dongmei asked with concern: "Then in this farmers' market, how many stalls can be accommodated in the position of selling rice?"

Director Bai pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "The stall that sells vegetables can accommodate a lot of people, so you might as well sell vegetables." “

Dongmei shook her head and said, "I'm not interested in selling vegetables at all, I can still be good at cooking and selling food." “

Director Bai said: "The newly built farmers' market, with stalls selling food, can accommodate about seven. “

Hearing that the farmers' market could only accommodate a few seven rice stalls, Dongmei hurriedly fought for herself and said, "Director Bai, since it can accommodate seven stalls, then you can get a stall for me first." “

Director Bai nodded and said, "Originally, I didn't leave a booth for you, but since you took the initiative to come over to apologize to me today and cooperate with our work, I can leave a booth for you, but you have to pay part of the booth fee in advance." “

Hearing this, Dongmei said: "As long as you can get a booth, even if you pay the booth fee a few years in advance, you say, how much does the booth fee cost?"

Director Bai stretched out two fingers and said: "I don't have to wait a few years, in another year, this newly built farmers' market will be put into operation, and the booth fee is not expensive, ten yuan a month, which is about 100 yuan a year." “

Hearing that there was still a year to go, and this newly built farmers' market was about to be put into operation, Dongmei happily thought that if she lived in this farmers' market, then she could sell food full-time and around the clock, how good it would be.

I sell porridge and steamed buns in the morning, and dumplings and noodles at noon.

Moreover, during the period from morning to noon, he can stick to his job, and if someone comes to eat in the middle, he can still do business, which breaks the time limitation of selling dumplings on the south side of the Boko Building.

Director Bai saw Dongmei standing in place in a daze, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes and said, "Selling dumplings, do you want or don't want this stall anymore, what kind of flute?"

Dongmei, who came to her senses, quickly nodded and said, "If you want this stall, of course you want this stall, otherwise how can we, the housewives who can't stay idle and are bent on starting a business, find a place to use?"

Director Bai said bluntly: "Since you want this booth, why don't you hurry up and pay the booth fee." “

Dongmei stretched out her hand and touched the pockets of her clothes, and only then did she come up with more than 20 yuan.

She said embarrassedly: "I don't have enough money on me, so let's wait, I'll bring you the money tomorrow." “

Hearing this, Director Bai said disdainfully: "You'd better hurry up, because in this newly built farmers' market, five of the seven stalls have been rented out, and there are still the last two stalls left. “

As he spoke, Director Bai took out a form from the drawer and showed Dongmei the order of the seven stalls and the types of rice sold.

Dongmei took the list and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the first stall at the entrance of the new farmers' market was a woman surnamed Li, who mainly sold meat and steamed buns.

The second stall is a woman surnamed Zhang, who mainly sells xiaolongbao.

And the third stall is a woman surnamed Zou, who mainly sells dumplings.

The fourth to fifth are those that sell rice noodles, spicy tang, and various kinds of noodles.

When Dongmei saw the third dumpling seller, a woman surnamed Zou, Dongmei couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Director Bai and said, "Director Bai, is this dumpling seller surnamed Zou called a wrinkled face?"

Hearing such an evil nickname, Director Bai couldn't help but laugh and said: "Who gave Zou Dongmei such a nickname, it's so vivid, it's really like her name." “

Hearing this, Dongmei identified the woman who sold rice in the third stall.

This woman is none other than the woman who was eliminated by herself before.

Dongmei gasped, she didn't expect her face to wrinkle, so she actually took a step forward with Sister-in-law Tan and rented a stall in the newly built farmers' market.

couldn't help but wonder in Dongmei's heart, is this person who falsely accused herself and Sister-in-law Tan the one with a wrinkled face?

Director Bai, who was standing next to Dongmei, said impatiently: "Selling dumplings, you have been reading this list for a long time, do you rent it or not?"

Dongmei nodded vigorously and said, "Rent, you must rent." “

After speaking, Dongmei rushed out of the office door, ready to go home to get the money and rent this last booth.

However, Dongmei, who had just run out of the door, came back again.

She looked at Director Bai and said, "Director Bai, it's not enough for me to rent alone, Sister-in-law Tan must also have a stall that sells rice, otherwise when the time comes, with the opening of the new farmers' market, Sister-in-law Tan's business will definitely be impacted, and Sister-in-law Tan's stall will definitely be banned." “

Hearing that Dongmei was going to rent a stall for Sister-in-law Tan, Director Bai disagreed and said: "You are not bad, I can consider renting a stall for you, as for that sister-in-law Tan, she will forget it, she is too rude, too unreasonable, I am afraid that after she joins the farmers' market, it will be too difficult to manage." “

Hearing that Director Bai didn't let Sister-in-law Tan come in, Dongmei said anxiously: "If you don't let Sister-in-law Tan come in, I won't rent your booth at all." “

Director Bai was not afraid of Dongmei's threat at all, she waved her hand and said, "You are casually, there are more family members who want to rent this stall for business, there are not many of you, and there are no more of you." “

Hearing this, Dongmei knew that if she was tough with Director Bai, she would definitely not be his opponent.

So, Dongmei quickly softened and said: "Director Bai, do you think this will work, don't we have a hundred yuan per person for renting a booth, and if you raise it to two hundred for Sister-in-law Tan, you will directly charge Sister-in-law Tan 200 yuan for the booth management fee, what do you think?"

Hearing that Sister-in-law Tan's management fee was one hundred yuan more than the others, Director Bai thought with a sense of revenge, as long as he could torture Sister-in-law Tan, this would be fine.

So, Director Bai said: "It's okay, I can let Sister-in-law Tan come in, but I have to charge her two hundred, you go back and bring a message to Sister-in-law Tan, she can come if she wants to come, and if she doesn't want to come, get out of here." “

Listening to Director Bai's swear words, although Dongmei cursed this Director Bai in her heart, she still said respectfully: "No problem, Director Bai, as long as we can do business, you can let us, the housewives who don't work, pay as much as we manage fees." “

With that, Dongmei ran home.

She took out all the money she had earned in the past few days, just enough for three hundred yuan.

Dongmei, just in case, went to Hongxia again and borrowed a hundred yuan.

Soon, Dongmei took the money and came to Director Bai's office.

But before paying the money, Dongmei thought of another question.

If you sell food at the farmers' market, the closer you are to the stalls near the gate, the more popular they are, so why don't you apply and put your own and Tan's stalls in the first and second?

So, Dongmei told Director Bai her thoughts.

Director Bai shook his head and told Dongmei that the first woman who sold meat and steamed buns and the second woman who sold xiaolongbao were both relatives of a certain leader in the unit, so even if she didn't pay the management fee for the stall, she had to be ranked first.

Since you can't rank first, you have to surpass the wrinkled face, otherwise you will be behind her, and it will be unlucky.

So, Dongmei put forward another condition and said: "Director Bai, since I and Sister-in-law Tan's booth can't be the first, what do you think of putting our booth in the third and fourth?"

Hearing this, Director Bai pinched the sparse beard on his chin with his hand and said, "This is easy to do, but you have to ......."

Dongmei understood what Director Bai meant, she didn't immediately take out the money from her pocket and said, "I understand, Director Bai, let's do it, I'll add some more money, you put me and Sister-in-law Tan's stall in the front of the third and fourth." “

Seeing Dongmei so bright-eyed, Director Bai said happily: "Okay, okay, okay, is this question a thing, a broken thing." “

Saying that, after Dongmei paid Director Bai a hundred yuan management fee and Tan's sister-in-law two hundred yuan management fee, she paid Director Bai an additional fifty yuan management fee, and finally completed the stall order of the new farmers' market.

After returning home, Dongmei went to Sister-in-law Tan's house.

Because Sister-in-law Tan lost her husband, the unit took care of them and arranged for their family of three to live in an ordinary building.

Dongmei stood at the door and knocked lightly three times.

I saw that a girl as big as Nana, with dark skin, but very beautiful facial features, opened the door.

She is the third daughter of Sister-in-law Tan, her name is Tan Ling, and she is in the same class as Nana.

Tan Ling said politely: "Auntie, who are you looking for?"

Dongmei stroked Tan Ling's head and said, "Little friend, is your mother not at home?"

Tan Ling turned around and yelled at the kitchen in the house and said, "Mom, there is an aunt looking for you." “

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan put down her hands that were working in the kitchen, walked out, looked at Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, why are you here, remember, we must twist into a rope tomorrow and resolutely resist the harassment of Director Bai's bastard." “

Dongmei smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Tan, I went to find Director Bai today, I told him that I had quit, you work hard alone, I will cheer you on." “

Hearing that Dongmei actually took the initiative to withdraw, Sister-in-law Tan was surprised and said: "Dongmei, how can you do such a thing, didn't we say that we should insist together, resist together, and sell dumplings together?"

Dongmei carefully analyzed the reasons for her withdrawal, and Sister-in-law Tan needed this job more than herself, and needed the money more to support her family.

Listening to Dongmei's words, Sister-in-law Tan was very moved, she felt that although Dongmei was younger than herself, she was far more sensible, more mature than herself, and kinder than herself.

Sister-in-law Tan's tears couldn't help but flow out of her eyes and said, "Dongmei, I really wronged you, I gave up such a good business, and I became a person." “

Dongmei wiped her tears for Sister-in-law Tan, and comforted Sister-in-law Tan and said, "Sister-in-law Tan, don't cry, there is a bad thing in a good thing, and there is a good thing in a bad thing. “

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan asked Dongmei in confusion: "Director Bai, that dog can't spit ivory things out of his mouth, what good things can he have there?"

Dongmei smiled and said, "I really met something good with him." “

After speaking, Dongmei told Sister-in-law Tan about the new farmers' market in the south of the cadre building.

When Sister-in-law Tan heard that the new farmers' market was so perfect, she couldn't help jumping with joy.

She told Dongmei that as a Sichuanese, she has the ability to sell rice, but the market is too small to play at all......

Sister-in-law Tan told Dongmei a lot, but as a Guanzhong person, Dongmei has a lot of things, and she has never heard of it, let alone done it.

While admiring Sister-in-law Tan's talent for cooking, she also silently thought in her heart that this newly built farmers' market really provided a stage for housewives like Sister-in-law Tan, who had no jobs, to display their skills, and at the same time provided a platform for many people to find employment.

With the development of selling rice, vegetables, and non-staple food, there will definitely be more housewives who will get out of the shackles of the family, and have a job of their own, achieve a world of their own, and strive for a career of their own.
