Chapter 21: The First Day's Harvest

Qin Lu's food stall business did not last too long, and the wrong estimation of the possible customer flow made the tea stall sell out all the inventory in less than three hours. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the way back was unexpectedly troublesome.

The cart was pulled over by the little snake charm, because with Qin Lu and Qin Baozhen's strength, they couldn't handle such heavy luggage at all. But what the two brothers and sisters didn't expect was that Qingqing, who had secretly drunk several glasses of cold juice in a row, actually began to have stomach troubles at this time.

"Woo~ It hurts, my stomach is about to crack ~ Woo woo ~"

The little snake charm's forehead was covered with cold sweat, as if it had been stripped of bones, and she lay on the table softly, not to mention how pitiful she was with tears in her eyes.

"You always steal food, it's obviously a snake, and you have to drink cold water all the time!

Qin Lu also looked helpless. Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature is maintained by absorbing heat from the outside world. Even though Qingqing has transformed into an adult, he still can't run away from the nature of snakes, and he doesn't feel strange at all when there is an adverse reaction at this time.

"Brother!"

Qin Baozhen couldn't help but twist his arm fiercely, and said angrily: "Sister Qingqing is hurting like this, you don't help and still say cool things, it's too ruthless!"

"I'm here to teach her a lesson! This time it's a stomachache, and next time something might happen......"

"It hurts to death~"

Hearing that Qin Lu not only didn't comfort herself, but complained about herself there, the little snake charm's voice suddenly raised an octave, and said pitifully: "People didn't eat much, they just drank two small cups......"

I already felt uncomfortable, but the more I talked about it, the more I felt wronged, and in the end, the little snake charm simply cried out.

"Woo woo~ it hurts! It hurts more than giving birth! I'm going to die!"

"Poof~ It's just you, and you still have a baby! Do you know how to write the word "child"? stupid!"

Rao is Qin Lu wanted to scare her more with a straight face, and she was also amused by the little snake charm's nonsense at this time. Sighing, Qin Lu grabbed the handle of the cart and gritted his teeth to lift it up.

"Forget it, I'll push the cart, Baozhen, you can watch her!"

There is a burden of the little snake charm, and the return journey is very hard. Qin Baozhen was just a sixteen-year-old girl in the end, and she could still walk a few steps with Qin Baozhen on her back at first, but when she got to the back, the two of them simply spread out on the ground together, and they couldn't pull it up.

In desperation, Qin Lu picked up Qingqing, let her sit on the cart with her neck around her neck, and pulled the cart up half-dragging and half-dragging it, and rushed to the direction of Jianye City with difficulty.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon when the stall was closed, and when Qin Lu returned to the vicinity of the city gate, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Without Qingqing's help, the two-hour journey was actually twice as long.

The little snake charm was a little embarrassed by this, and she didn't talk much along the way, just obediently lying on Qin Lu's back and humming quietly. In addition to being tired, it also really made Qin Lu enjoy a nephrite jade in her body, a beautiful feeling.

The heavy cart, coupled with Qingqing who was half-leaning on his body, the terrible weight was not at all an existence that Qin Lu, a weak scholar, could resist, gritted his teeth and went all the way back to the city, and finally a few blocks away from home, Qin Lu was unstable and sat on the ground with his ass.

"No, huh~ I'm so tired......"

Reluctantly leaning the cart against the side of the road, Qin Lu gasped and said, "Don't go, park the cart here, and pick up the ...... tomorrow."

Qin Baozhen took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead for his brother distressedly, "Is it okay to put it here? What if someone steals it? Why don't you call Uncle Lin and let him drag it back." ”

"Don't, I rushed to work and made a cart a few days ago, let him rest for the next two days!" Qin Lu looked at the surrounding environment and found an open space for the car, "Just stop here, it will not hinder people from walking if it is a market, and I will come over tomorrow to buy ingredients, and I will take it away when the time comes." ”

Qin Baozhen knew that his brother was tired, so he didn't say anything, and supported the little snake charm, which had already improved a little, and the three of them returned home with a hum.

Qin Baozhen took the initiative to take over the work of making dinner. Qin Lu was no longer in the mood or strength to do such a thing. After pouring half a pot of tea, he sat down at the table in the hall and cleaned up today's harvest with great interest.

The cart was made by himself, although Uncle Lin called a few carpenters, but the main part was still his own hands, plus the cost of buying wood and the carpenters' wages, it cost almost three taels of silver.

In addition, there is the cost of purchasing ingredients. Shrimp and vegetables and fruits were bought at the bazaar and cost more than two taels. Honey is more expensive, and with sugar, although it is not much, it also costs a tael of silver.

The most troublesome thing is to buy saltpeter to make ice cubes, which is almost two taels. Calculated bit by bit, Qin Lu's car stall should cost more than eight taels and less than ten taels.

How many fried rice were sold out in a day, Qin Lu couldn't remember clearly. After roughly cleaning up, he found that today's harvest was as much as twenty-seven taels.

In other words, even if the five taels of tips deliberately given by the local tyrant Liangyuan are removed, the net profit of the snack stall in one day has reached an astonishing twenty taels.

"Twenty taels, rounded up to 50,000 yuan!"

Qin Lu's eyes glowed green.

An income of 50,000 yuan a day is 1.5 million yuan a month! You can become a multimillionaire in a year......

Tsk, this is the rhythm of going to the pinnacle of life!

After a short while, Qin Lu immediately regained his composure. Because he knows very well that such a price, such a profit, cannot last too long.

In essence, fried rice is too expensive for one penny. The reason why it can be sold out like today is actually because of the light of the imperial examination.

At the beginning, he was able to complete the four examiner tasks in Jianye City on the first day, and such candidates were all very strong without exception. By extension, a martial artist who can reach this level will have stronger financial resources than ordinary people.

In addition, there are no serious hotels in the wilderness of Jiangnan, and Qin Lu's food stalls will have constant customers. A penny of silver seems a lot to him, but it is nothing to the rich class from Chang'an.

Such a scene obviously will not last long, and the imperial examination competition will last for a week because of the long distance. But according to Qin Lu's guess, in less than three days, the test will end on the side of Jianye City. At that time, if you want to set up a stall, you can only go back to the city.

"Tsk, time is running out......"

Holding the silver tael in his hand tightly, Qin Lu suddenly lost all his energy.
