Chapter 48 Transactions
Traditionally, the last three days of September are the days when the school holds a cultural festival. The cultural festival, as the name suggests, is a festival that showcases the culture of the campus, and it is also the only school-level event organized by teachers for students.
During the festival, the school is open to the public, and each class is free to plan the projects they want, and of course, they can operate for a fee if necessary.
Each participant in the festival will hold a ballot and vote for their favorite store, and the top three voters will receive a surprise prize from the school.
The preparation time given to students is five days, and within five days, students participating in the festival are free to build their own shops in any location of the school (except teachers' offices) on a first-come, first-served basis. Over the years, the most sought-after locations have been the large parking lot on the west side of the school gate and the third teaching building, which are not only transportation arteries, but also well-equipped.
"If you are willing, you can report to me tomorrow with the name of your project and the list of personnel." The head teacher stood on the podium and said. The homeroom teacher of Class C (2) is a woman in her forties: not tall and wearing glasses. When she lectures in physics class, her voice automatically changes to a "sheep sound", and she only needs to listen for five minutes to get the effect of "falling asleep".
The cultural festival was a long-awaited event for the students, and there were already many like-minded students who were already in a group before school ended that day.
At this time, the parking lot seems to have been cleared, and the huge site can be seen at a glance. Large and small parking spaces are filled with billboards and marking paper, and some of them have classes and slogans written on them, and it seems that many people have already chosen this "feng shui treasure land".
"Let me guess, you're not going to get involved, are you?" Mizune followed Haxia's gaze and saw the parking lot lined with billboards.
"You're guessing wrong." Yu Xiasheng's business eyes told him that there must be business opportunities here.
- Three days ago.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning on the weekend, Shui Yin said goodbye to Yuxia and prepared to go home to visit his parents. She actually hoped that Yu Xia could go with her, but Yu Xia politely refused.
After Shui Yin left, Yu Xia put down "Sherlock Holmes" in his hand somewhat absent-mindedly. This is already the fourth volume, and every time I finish reading a book, Yuxia will put on a new book cover and treasure it. Oh, Yuxia's original single book is now in Shui Yin's place, and Shui Yin has been fascinated lately, and must read all the suspense before going to bed every night. According to Yu Xia's words: You are not suitable for reading detective novels......
Yu Xia closed the book, closed her eyes and recuperated, her brain reverie at will. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, as if he had thought of something as important. Yu Xia quickly got up and went back to the house to put on her coat, and happily pushed the door to leave.
Tucked away from the folding of the door is a flyer – it's a newly opened bakery.
Yu Xia glanced at it cursoryly, and the assorted pie on the leaflet aroused his appetite.
He walked north along Heren Street, and when he passed by the fruit market along the way, he happened to see a truck delivering a batch of seasonal fruits. Yu Xia frowned, first turned around and went into the convenience store to buy a bottle of water, and then deliberately stopped by the truck.
The truck driver got out of the car sideways, ready to open the compartment and unload the cargo at the back of the car.
"Master, quench your thirst." Haxia handed the water over with a smile on her face.
The driver first looked back at the answer, and saw that Yu Xia had no malicious intent, so he took the water and said, "Thank you." ”
The corners of Yu Xia's mouth rose a few points, and he greeted the driver: "I don't usually see you coming in the morning, it seems that this time it's not to send fruit?" ”
"Of course it's fruit, freshly picked seasonal fruit, I dare say this is the first store in town to have it." The driver began to move boxes out of the box.
"Looks like I'm lucky and just wanted to buy some grapes." Yu Xia glanced into the carriage and said.
Hearing this, the driver stopped moving, straightened up, and looked back at Yu Xia.
"Okay, I'll sell you some." The driver knew in his heart that the box he had brought out was written on the pears in addition to apples. He had grapes, but they were meant to be kept for himself, no more, no less, only a box, open in the innermost part of the carriage. After all, the driver had a short mouth, and he saw that Yu Xia was good, so he promised to sell him some.
The driver was too busy unloading to take care of him. Yu Xia pulled out the grape box and found two small empty boxes in the car.
The grapes can be seen to have been freshly picked, and some of the strings are still wrapped with vines, which is a bit confusing.
Yu Xia smiled to herself, divided the grapes by two, and divided them into two piles and put them into two empty boxes. Yu Xia threw away the garbage and old boxes, and put the driver's share in the corner of the car.
"How much do you have to do with this?" Yu Xia asked, lifting the small box.
The driver hesitated, "Give ten yuan and forget it." ”
Yu Xia handed him the money, said "thank you", and prepared to move on.
The driver glanced into the carriage, a little surprised, and hurriedly called Yu Xia.
"Guy, where are you going?" The driver asked.
"There's a Domino restaurant to the north."
"Get in the car, drop by." The driver looked at Yu Xia with an approving gaze.
Of course, driving is much less laborious than walking, not to mention that Yu Xia also bought nearly six catties of grapes.
After the two separated, Yu Xia looked in front of this restaurant, he didn't expect to come here one day.
The restaurant's display window reflects the store on the other side of the street, which is the newly opened bakery.
Yu Xia turned around and walked to the bakery with the grapes in her hand.
The newly opened restaurant should be full of diners, but this restaurant doesn't even have a single customer.
Yu Xia was not surprised.
He pushed the door open and entered, and a waiter was immediately greeted inside.
"Hello customers! I'm sorry, but we don't have all the ingredients right now, so we can't sell any products yet. I'm so sorry! The waitress was very polite, and it could be seen from her expression that she was also in a hurry.
"I'm here to help you with your immediate needs." Yu Xia patted the box in his hand and said.
"This ...... Please allow me to contact the boss. The waiter said apologetically.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a baker's uniform walked out of the back kitchen.
"It's ...... here," the man didn't know what was inside the box, and asked Yu Xia about it.
"Grapes." Yu Xia opened the lid of the box, and more than a dozen bunches of grapes were neatly lying inside.
The man's brow furrowed, this was exactly what he needed. The grapes, which were supposed to arrive this morning, were not heard from along with the logistics company, causing his store to be hit the first day of opening.
"Bid, freshly picked in the morning." Yu Xia understands his concerns, and it is always difficult to convince others to buy things from unknown sources.
"Sixty, I'll take it all." The man was also a smart man, and he noticed the remaining vine pulp on Yuxia's fingers.
Yu Xia smiled and said, "Then I'll come over and try the pie made here later." ”
The man hurriedly nodded in thanks, "Thank you." ”
Yu Xia came out of the bakery, crossed the side street, and walked into the Domino's restaurant.
There were a lot of diners today, and when Yu Xia entered the door, there was only one waiter standing at the door that he didn't know.
"Welcome, how many may I ask?" The waitress is a girl, not very old, and she should be working part-time here.
"One." It was the first time that Yu Xia had encountered this kind of conversation in this restaurant, and he had been "captured" by the butler under normal circumstances.
Yu Xia took a seat, and the waiter handed over the menu and asked kindly, "Would you rather drink tea or lemonade?" ”
"Lemonade is fine." Yu Xia couldn't help but laugh, this restaurant was originally just a stronghold provided by Zaoming to these housekeepers who were guarding him, and no one cared if it was profitable or not. But now that their mission has been canceled, they have begun to work hard to study the business, not to mention, but to make it look good.
Yu Xia casually ordered two dishes, and it could be regarded as having lunch.
I don't know where Qiong Qi invited the cook, and the cooking skills can be said to be second only to Shuiyin. Yu Xia commented in his heart.
When settling the payment, Yu Xia handed the waiter a credit card, which was an internal card of Muchen Shipping Business Group, of course, this meal must be free.
Not long after, Yu Xia's old enemy appeared-dressed as a housekeeper, with long hair tied up and light makeup. Qiong Qi is not young, and she can be regarded as the old housekeeper of the Muchen family, when she was sent to Hailing Town, Yu Xia was still an ignorant child.
"Young Master, you're here." Qiong Yu stood respectfully on the side of the table and said in a tone of five points of respect and five points of doubt.
"Sit down." Yu Xia glanced at her, he didn't like to be called that, the feeling of being held high by others was hypocritical.
"Recently, there have been more customers." Yu Xia didn't get straight to the point.
"Yes...... Thanks to the old man and the young master. "Qiong Yao is very sensitive and talkative, Yu Xia would never have come here if she didn't have to use her. Qiong Yao is always cautious when talking to Yu Xia, she knows Yu Xia's temper, which is related to her job.
"It's a leisurely time now, and you don't have to pay attention to my every move." Yuxia has a kind of meaning of showing off victory.
"Don't dare...... Now I occasionally help the company manage the port, and all of our housekeepers are always on standby. Qiong Yu began to speculate about Yu Xia's intentions for this trip.
"In that case, I'll give you a mission." Yu Xia smiled evilly.
"Please." Yu Xia's smile made Qiong Yao feel very bottomless.
"There is a cultural festival at Xingyu High School at the end of September, and I plan to take this opportunity to run a restaurant." Yu Xia said this, and Qiong Yu basically understood what he meant.
"What do you need us to do?" She asked.
"Prepare the ingredients, the chef, and everything that might be used in the restaurant." Yu Xia can still trust these things to them.
"Here's what I planned: the restaurant was open on the opening day of the festival for a total of three days. After closing, 40% of the restaurant's profits will go to you, and the right to pay for hard work. Yu Xia's last half of the sentence surprised Qiong Yao, she knew Yu Xia's business talent best, and this forty percent would definitely not be a small amount.
"Are the soft rules also left to us?" Qiong refers to the price, the method of doing business, and so on.
"Nope." Yu Xia replied with a serious expression.
"Otherwise I wouldn't have had to come here today."
