Chapter 3 Encounters with the Dead on the Street
On the first day, he set up a roadside stall to sell fried potatoes, selling a total of 29 small boxes and 18 large boxes, with a total income of 177 yuan, Zhang Yao's first pot of gold in his life was not much, but he was already very satisfied.
Most of them are sold to shopping guides in the shops on the pedestrian street, and a small number of them are patronized by passers-by, after all, even if there are cardboard boxes, it is still not convenient for people who have no destination to press the road at will.
In addition to schools, in fact, the prime time for roadside stall business is in the evening, and the best place is at the entrance of the community or the street corner of the urban village, whether it is a local or a tenant from other places, they are willing to return home after work and buy some snacks to treat themselves.
It's just that Zhang Yao still has to pedal a tricycle for an hour to go home, and it is destined to be impossible to sell for too long.
On the first day, there were 177 yuan, which is already very good, not only completely recovering the cost but also making a profit. Not counting the tricycle, the household 5KG small tank of liquefied gas is 45 yuan, which can be used for several days, and the unilateral liquefied gas stove is only 60 yuan, which can be used for a longer time.
The artichoke is home-grown, the sauce is also home-grown, and the cost of coriander and folded ear root is almost negligible, which is definitely a small profit in comparison, so there are so many people willing to do it at roadside stalls.
What's more, every time you sell a copy, you can reap a joy, not only can you cultivate Dragon Ball, but Zhang Yao himself is also very happy to see the people who buy fried potatoes eating so happily.
And the business is also booming, and after becoming more and more proficient, the average daily income is about 300, and almost all the shopping guides in the shops in the nearby pedestrian street have become regular customers.
As a result, the artichoke also began to convert the cost, and the original thing grown at home was just for their own consumption, which was not enough to consume, and the recent artichoke was not cheap, and it was sold for five yuan per catty.
Of course, a pound of artichoke can be sold for several boxes, and it can also be regarded as a huge profit, but the number is a little too small.
Fried potatoes are selling more and more, and the Dragon Ball is slowly getting shiny, although there is no specific status bar, but Zhang Yao and the Dragon Ball seem to have completely merged to establish some kind of mysterious connection, and the changes in the Dragon Ball are clear.
With the current state of the Dragon Ball, the water source is purified and the aura is condensed, which can roughly be consumed for a cent, which is still too little for growing vegetables, Zhang Yao silently calculated, anyway, the planting season has not yet arrived, and there is no idle field at home, so it is better to wait and talk about it first.
"Prince Artichoke, why are you here so late today?" As soon as Zhang Yao parked the tricycle, the three little shopping guide girls heard the news, and the title of the potato prince has spread throughout the entire pedestrian street under their spread.
"The tricycle had a flat tire, so I went to fix it." Zhang Yao should be quick to prepare for the start of work, and said: "Or three yuan per person, put more chili peppers, more coriander, and more potatoes?" ”
"Of course, it's still the old rules." The little girl touched her stomach and said, "We thought you weren't coming today, you made the fried potatoes so delicious, we are all used to eating them, and it always feels like something is missing if we don't eat one every day." ”
Although they are just ordinary ingredients, the craftsmanship blessed by the god of food is not covered, otherwise these shopping guide girls will not forget, together with the nickname of the artichoke Wanzi, his delicious fried artichoke has also spread all over the pedestrian street.
"Actually, it's just that you're greedy, so you don't need to make excuses, but I also want to thank you for patronizing, otherwise where would I go to make money." Zhang Yao joked, put the mixed potatoes into cartons and handed them over, and then said, "Here, three yuan for five yuan." ”
Put more chili peppers, more coriander and more artichokes, in fact, it is just a joke, the carton is so big, no matter how much you put it, it is impossible to release the amount of five yuan, probably because Zhang Yao is about the same age as them, these girls who are shopping guides like to joke with him.
After sending off the three old customers, Zhang Yao squatted down and opened the plastic bag containing the garbage and continued to peel the skin, because the relationship between going to repair the tire was relatively late, and the preparation was a little insufficient, so he had to cut more potatoes out for later use.
"Zhang Yao, is it really you?" At this moment, an exclamation sounded from behind.
When he raised his head, he was also surprised to see Zhang Yao, a little fresh beauty wearing a floral skirt and a long-haired shawl in front of him, and said, "Senior sister, why are you here?" It's not a week today, could it be that you skipped class and went shopping? ”
"Nothing." The girl pouted and said, "My family lives here, I came back today to get something, and I was just going to the opposite side to do the subway, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"That's a coincidence." Zhang Yao smirked, he met an acquaintance at a roadside stall, and he didn't feel embarrassed if he was a girl.
Seeing him so indifferent, the girl was a little disappointed, lowered her voice, and said in a reproachful tone: "I heard about it, why didn't you contact me?" ”
This girl's name is Liu Xinran, two years older than Zhang Yao, and she is the president of the Go Club of Western Union University.
The university club was originally a place for a bunch of like-minded people to get together for activities, probably because they have a common hobby, Zhang Yao and Liu Xinran have a very good relationship, and they are often misunderstood as boyfriend and girlfriend.
Facing the girl's blame, Zhang Yao smirked twice and said, "I didn't have a chance at that time, and I was busy during this time...... Well, as you can see, so I couldn't contact you. ”
"Excuses." Liu Xinran glared at him and snorted hatefully, Zhang Yao could only continue to pretend to be stupid, and this is indeed the case, no matter how busy he is, how can he not even have time to make a phone call.
Seeing his expression, Liu Xinran was even more angry, but his feelings turned down again, and said, "You should sue me as soon as possible, in that case, it won't be such a result." ”
"Senior sister, even if I think the situation at that time does not allow this, they have already determined to expel me, and they will not give me a chance to defend at all, and I will almost be kicked out."
Talking about being expelled, Zhang Yao had no feelings at all, and continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter, compared to the messy days in the university before, I have to worry about how to find a job after graduation, I am very fulfilled now, and I have a perfect plan for my future life, I am very satisfied with the present." ”
Liu Xinran frowned, she didn't know what to say, she thought that this was Zhang Yao comforting herself, after all, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and she could only force herself to figure it out.
After a pause, Zhang Yao said again: "Senior sister, do you believe that I will do those things?" ”
"Of course not." Liu Xinran didn't think about it at all, and said it categorically.
Zhang Yao laughed again, not a smirk, but a very bright one, and said, "That's fine, only my family and friends believe in me, nothing else matters." ”
Liu Xinran's heart suddenly warmed, but he still couldn't let go of Zhang Yao, and said hatefully: "Nonsense, since you are family and friends, of course you believe in you, but this is not the point, is it possible that you want to sell fried potatoes on the roadside for the rest of your life?" The prince of artichoke, his name is very loud, and he is really worthy of your little white face. ”
Zhang Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said with a smile: "Senior sister, that's what they joked, they all told you that I already have a perfect plan for life, of course I won't sell fried potatoes forever, even if I do, it won't be on the side of the road, let alone only fried potatoes." ”
At this moment, two more shoe sellers came over, and they were already shouting a few steps away: "Prince Artichoke, let's wait a little long today, let's have two small boxes." ”
"Okay, right away." Zhang Yao responded, turned his head to Liu Xinran and said, "Senior sister, I don't have time now and you still have to go to school, so I won't greet you, let's leave quickly, I'll invite you to dinner another day." ”
"You can eat another day, don't you want me to eat a hand-fried artichoke?" Liu Xinran didn't leave, she was still on the street slowly after this order, so there should be no class.
The two shopping guides looked at them with strange expressions, as if they were speculating about their relationship, if it wasn't for Liu Xinran on the side, I was afraid that I couldn't help but ask Zhang Yao.
No matter how good Liu Xinran's request was, Zhang Yao fried a copy for her casually, handed it over and said, "Here you go, don't swallow your tongue." It's not me bragging, my fried potatoes are a must on the pedestrian street, so let's leave quickly after eating. ”
"You seem to have to drive me away to be happy, right?" Liu Xinran held the fried artichoke in one hand and stared at him with a bamboo skewer in the other.
"Haha, what's the matter, I'm not afraid of delaying my senior sister to go back to school." Zhang Yaogan laughed twice.
Liu Xinran's eyes widened, and after tasting a piece of artichoke, her mouth couldn't stop a little, but she still said: "You really don't brag about the taste, it's really delicious, it's better than anything I've eaten before, but don't think that this will send me away, I want to see what your perfect plan for life is." ”
"Senior sister, I can't send you a small video screen or anything, what do you think?" Zhang Yao wanted to ask Liu Xinran to make some ideas, but at this time, the customer came again, "The prince of artichoke, the old rules, everyone has a copy." ”
"Good Lat, wait a minute, three beauties. Uh, there's not enough cut for three people, you'll have to wait. "I've been talking to Liu Xinran, but I didn't care about peeling, and now the stock is insufficient.
It doesn't take long, the three old customers can wait, Zhang Yao was about to squat down and peel the skin, at this time Liu Xinran had already finished eating the artichoke in three or two bites, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, folded the skirt and squatted down, and said, "I'll help you, you fry and cut those first." ”
“……”
When she did this, not to mention the three old patrons' eyes widened, even Zhang Yao was blindfolded, senior sister, what are you playing?
