Chapter Ninety-Six: A Confusing Dialogue
"Ye Xiaojing"!
Ye Xiaojing, who was busy with business in front of the handscroll stall, suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name, she raised her head and exclaimed in some surprise: "Ah! Mr. Yue Lei, why are you here? β
After calling her name, Yue Lei came to Ye Xiaojing's handscroll stall in two or three steps, looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm a little bored these days, so I want to come and see you!" Ye Xiaojing, when did you start doing business? β
Ye Xiaojing took the finished handscroll to the guest, and then said to Yue Lei: "It's just that I just started doing it in the past few days, and my sister must let me find a job in another half a year, so I want to set up a food stall during this time." β
"Looking for a job?" Yue Lei blinked after hearing this, looked at her and said, "Ye Xiaojing, have you forgotten that before the operation, you promised to be my assistant to the dean!" You know, I've been looking forward to that day, and you can't break your word! β
"Uh, this ......" Ye Xiaojing thought a little speechlessly, I didn't seem to have agreed to anything at the beginning, right?
But thinking about it, looking at Yue Lei, who suddenly changed into a pitiful expression, Ye Xiaojing still said very tactfully: "I know that Mr. Yue Lei has good intentions, but I think that I don't even have any knowledge of medicine, so if I rush to be your assistant like this, it shouldn't be too suitable, right?" β
"How so? When you worked as an assistant to Ah Xiang before, didn't you have any work experience in finance? Yue Lei looked curiously at the ingredients on the handroll stall as he spoke.
After looking at it for a while, he picked up a piece of seaweed and said to Ye Xiaojing: "Ye Xiaojing, can I help you make a hand roll?" β
"Uh, is that so?" Looking at Yue Lei's eager look, Ye Xiaojing still swallowed what she wanted to say first, "Then Mr. Yue, you are optimistic, I'll give you a demonstration firstββ"
On top of the flattened nori, spread the rice mixed with sushi vinegar and white sesame seeds evenly on top and gently flatten it; Next, the various ingredients such as avocado, tuna and red cabbage are evenly placed on the rice layer, squeezed with a special seafood sauce, and then a few slices of sweet and sour radish are topped. Finally, the ingredients are gently rolled into the shape of a cone β a hand-rolled that is both delicious and nutritious.
Yue Lei started to do it according to Ye Xiaojing's appearance, and after a while, he made one, and what was surprising was that the shape of the handscroll looked even better than Ye Xiaojing's.
"Wow! Mr. Yue Lei, did you do it before? Looking at the perfect hand-rolled product in the other party's hand, Ye Xiaojing was surprised.
Ye Xiaojing clearly remembers that when she tried to make a handscroll for the first time, she broke several of them when she rolled them up because she didn't grasp the strength well.
"Ye Xiaojing, don't forget, I'm an excellent surgeon, this kind of thing is a small case!" Saying that, Yue Lei proudly took a bite of the handscroll in his hand, "Hmm-this handscroll tastes really good!" β
Tasting the first work he had just successfully produced, Yue Lei began to continue chatting with Ye Xiaojing about the topic just now, "Then Ye Xiaojing, are you planning to do the business of handscroll stalls for the next half a year?" β
"Well, that's the plan for now!"
"But I don't think your business is very good, can you make money by setting up a stall like this?" From Yue Lei to the present, there is only one customer who has patronized this stall.
"It's impossible to make a lot of money in this kind of small business, but it's better than staying at home and eating white food." Ye Xiaojing said while pouring a glass of water for Yue Lei, "This seafood hand-roll If you like to eat it, Mr. Yue Lei, you can eat a few more, it's okay-"
"I said Ye Xiaojing......" Yue Lei suddenly sighed, stared at her eyes, and said word by word, "This, seed, small, life, meaning, it is impossible to repay the debts owed by your family!" β
"I know! I just want to help my sister with a little bit of financial burden. Ye Xiaojing listened and said subconsciously.
"As much as possible?" Yue Lei was noncommittal about her explanation, but said like a sigh, "If you and your sister are just ordinary financial difficulties, then you will undoubtedly be very helpful in your lives if you do this." But obviously, your situation does not fall into this category, and you have to deal with extraordinary situations in an unconventional way, do you understand? β
"Mr. Yue Lei, what do you mean?" Yue Lei's words made Ye Xiaojing feel confused, which was obviously beyond her comprehension.
Yue Lei glanced at her and said leisurely: "There is nothing wrong with you and your sister wanting to rely on your own efforts, but if the thing that requires your efforts is far beyond your ability, in this case, your so-called efforts, to put it nicely, are just self-comforting." β
"I know that our efforts will only play a limited role, but if we don't work hard, it will be a problem to even survive!" Regarding Yue Lei's opinion, Ye Xiaojing couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
"Ye Xiaojing, you didn't understand what I meant!" Yue Lei shook his head and continued, "Everything comes step by step! It is true that your efforts have given you a basis for survival, and so far, with that foundation, don't you feel like you've reached the threshold where you can go one step further? β
"I, I don't understand what you mean!" Yue Lei's further explanation made Ye Xiaojing even more confused.
Looking at the other party's puzzled look, Yue Lei did not have a clearer plan to explain the meaning of his words. In the end, he just said to Ye Xiaojing lightly: "Think about your current situation, think about what you need and have; What can be done and obtained? β
When Yue Lei was leaving, he finally said to her: "You still have about half a year to rest, and you can use this time to slowly figure out these problems." I hope that after half a year, I will be able to meet Ye Xiaojing, who no longer has confusion in my heart! β
When she returned home in the evening, Ye Xiaojing told Ye Xiaoman what Yue Lei said during the day, hoping that her sister, who had more experience in life and society than herself, could give her a little inspiration.
But Ye Xiaoman only guessed and said: "I think what Mr. Yue means may mean that you have a higher level of ability through your own efforts, so you should find a way to do those jobs that can better show your ability, right?" β
After hearing this, Ye Xiaojing thought about it carefully and said, "Although what you said makes sense, I always feel that the meaning of Mr. Yue Lei's words should be more than that. I think there must be something we haven't figured out, what is he really trying to tell me? β
The two of them speculated for a long time, and Ye Xiaoman finally said: "Why did Mr. Yue use such vague language, there must be a reason, right?" But no matter what he wants you to understand, I believe he has good intentions, since he said let you think about it for half a year, then Xiaojing, don't be anxious, maybe after a while, we will understand what he means. β
After a while?
Let's hope for it!
Looking at her sister's face, which looked very tired every day, Ye Xiaojing suddenly felt that figuring out Yue Lei's words might be very important to her.
