Although a cool cold wind blows from time to time, it still can't blow the summer heat.

It's still the morning, and after pulling a scrap trip, Zheng Zhishang is sweating profusely, as if he is soaked in water, and his thin and shabby little shirt is also wet, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to wear on his body.

With the help of Uncle Wu and several other recycling station workers, "Xingxing ......" was unloading when a voice came from behind him.

What Zheng Zhishang didn't expect was that Uncle Chen, who had already left his job, would actually come to the recycling bin today. Stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, why are you here?" ”

"Ouch, isn't this Lao Chen? Where to make a fortune now, don't forget about us when you are developed......" Before Uncle Chen could answer, he was interrupted by a somewhat yin and yang weird voice with a voice as sharp as a eunuch.

Listening to that voice, you don't need to look at it to know who it is, but it is not Weng Hongliang, the owner of the current waste recycling station, known as Weng Fatman.

The restructuring of the recycling station has also been completed, and now the recycling station is privately operated, and the management of the former recycling station has been transferred to other places, and those who have nothing to do with it are still in the recycling station.

For Wen Hongliang, although Zheng Zhishang heard it from Uncle Wu and Uncle Chen a few days ago, the real meeting was after he accepted the recycling bin. The nickname of the fat man is very appropriate, Weng Hongliang can be regarded as the most "blessed" person Zheng Zhishang has seen so far.

About one meter six, each of them, their whole heads, because of the fat on their faces, look round, like a pregnant woman's belly, and they can't see their toes when they look down. From top to bottom, from left to right, up and down the body, there is no place that is not filled with fat.

I really don't know, how he eats, he can grow fat, maybe he belongs to the kind of people who drink cold water and can get fat.

In the face of Weng Fatman's arrogance, Uncle Chen's face changed slightly, as if he had seen an enemy, which really made Zheng Zhishang doubt whether he would rush up and give Weng Fatzi a punch.

Fortunately, Uncle Chen was quite restrained, and he didn't make a move, but just said with a smile: "Oh, this is not Weng Fat." Now it should be changed to Stationmaster Weng, or Boss Weng. ”

For Weng Fatzi, at the beginning, Uncle Wu said that he was bitter and mean, and he was angry with a small family, and asked Zheng Zhishang to send the waste products to other places to sell, don't sell them here. At first, Zheng Zhishang thought that Uncle Wu was prejudiced against him. The person who can contract a recycling station should also be a person with some economic acumen and some means.

But soon, Zheng Zhishang also subverted his perception of him. is completely a little person who has no brains, only knows how to drill camps, and makes small profits. If you want to talk about means, it's just a scoundrel and a gangster, with a few younger brothers, going in and out, like a gangster, I don't know who I'm bluffing?

Don't mention the harshness of the employees, only a few days after accepting the recycling station, for a little profit, the price of this waste product has dropped again and again, and that's it. What's even more speechless is that he often makes something out of nothing, picks thorns in his eggs, and can't wait to let all the scrap collectors sell to him at a loss.

For this reason, several waste collectors have made trouble with him. But in the end, the few little brothers who succumbed to Weng Fatzi's side finally disappeared, and now there are several scrap collectors around here, if they are not in a hurry or something, they are not very willing to send the waste to this side.

In this regard, Zheng Zhishang was also secretly funny, this fat man, where is this businessman, he is completely digging his own grave and cutting off his own financial route. I really don't know how this recycling station was contracted to him in the first place.

It's only Zheng Zhishang, there is really no way, who called this recycling station near here the closest, otherwise he would have to go to the suburbs. is young, the weather is hot, and it is not easy for Zheng Zhishang to go to the suburbs, and with the help of Uncle Wu and a few other old acquaintances, he can barely maintain his original profits.

"Hmph" Weng Fat Man snorted coldly and said, "Let's go." With his little brothers, he left proudly.

At this time, Uncle Wu, who saw that the situation was not good not far away, also ran over, and said with a smile: "Lao Chen, how can you have the strength to come and see a few of us today." ”

Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Who said I came to see you, I came to look for the stars." ”

"Lao Chen, are you planning to do it alone?" When Uncle Wu heard this, he was a little excited, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you go it alone, I will also resign, I can't stand the bird's anger of Weng Fat Man for a long time, what kind of virtue ......?"

"If you look for the stars, I must be going it alone." Uncle Chen joked with a smile.

Zheng Zhishang smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, Uncle Chen, I'll go to the checkout first, and then we'll find a place to talk about things." ”

"If you are looking for a place, just go to one, I heard that it is very popular now, there are no seats every day, and you have to queue up if you go late." Uncle Wu said with a smile:

After settling the account, Zheng Zhishang took the two to the house. Although there are four medium-sized electric fans in the lobby alone, the wind is blowing non-stop, but it is still a little hot. But for the guests at this time, this is already better than other small restaurants or something, I don't know how much.

You must know that there are electric fans installed in the entire Xiamen restaurant, except for those state-run hotels and hostels, there is only one fast food. Of course, the electric fan also brought some guests to the family.

It was lunch time, and it was difficult to have seats in the lobby, and it was not convenient to talk about things, so Zheng Zhishang asked Chen Xiaonan to clean up the reading room and ask for some food.

With the increase of employees in the store, Zheng Fang, Wu Jinfeng and others have grown, and the preparation of the branch.

Zheng Zhishang made another adjustment to the staff in the store, and Wang Qimei was naturally promoted to the manager of a fast food restaurant. and Hong Aiyue and Chen Xiaonan, the two old employees who followed Zheng Zhishang at the earliest, also left their original positions after having enough chefs in the store.

He was promoted to the deputy manager of the head office, and the three of them formed the temporary leadership of the current fast food company, assisting Zheng Zhishang in running and managing a fast food together. Because the three of them are also responsible for branch preparation, staff recruitment, and training, the three of them generally take turns to take care of the store, and today it is Chen Xiaonan's turn.

"Xingxing, your store is doing really well, a thousand yuan a month, there should be one." Uncle Chen said with some envy:

Uncle Wu rolled his eyes and said, "Old Chen, I see that your eyes are dizzy, not to mention a thousand pieces." In this store, there are nearly 20 employees alone, and the salary is higher than ours. ”

Although Zheng Zhishang has always understood the operation of the store, although it has entered the hot summer, the profitability of the store has not declined as Zheng Zhishang feared before, but with the operation of the store for a long time, the business has become more prosperous. The profit of one day has already passed the 1,000-yuan mark.

If it weren't for the limitations on the supply of various raw materials, especially meat, if there was a sufficient supply, I am afraid that it would be even higher.

Zheng Zhishang smiled and said, "By the way, Uncle Chen, if you come to me, you won't just come to me for dinner." ”

Uncle Chen hesitated for a while, a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm here to ask you to borrow some money?" ”

"Hmm" This is what Zheng Zhishang didn't expect, he actually came to borrow money from himself, but looking at Uncle Chen's embarrassed expression, he wanted to come to borrow money from himself, and he hesitated for a long time before he came to open this mouth to himself. Smiled and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”

"Three hundred......" Uncle Chen said a number again in embarrassment.

Although the three hundred were not much, Zheng Zhishang at this time could also take it out completely, but he still let Uncle Wu squirt out a mouthful of tea, and hurriedly wiped the water on the table with his hands, while asking, "Lao Chen, what do you want so much money for?" ”

"I discussed it with A-Ying and wanted to do some small business on my own...... If you feel embarrassed, forget it, just don't say it. Seeing Zheng Zhishang watching quietly, Uncle Chen, who was already embarrassed, couldn't help but panic, and quickly changed his words.

Zheng Zhishang smiled and said, "This is a good thing, but Uncle Chen, I want to know what kind of business you and Aunt Chen plan to make." ”

"Open a grocery store or something in the village to sell some tobacco, alcohol, oil and salt."

Zheng Zhishang hesitated for a while and said, "Uncle Chen, I can lend you this money, but after all, it is still a suburb over there, and it only does business in the village, and there are not many people." Of course, I'm not saying that it's bad to open a grocery store, maybe one day, my family will open there too. But that's a few years later. ”

Although Lucuo Village in Heshan Township is still a suburb, there is no doubt that in the near future, with the expansion of urban construction, that area will soon become part of the urban area. Opening a grocery store or something is indeed a good choice.

It's just that it's not a good choice for now, and it's better to open a grocery store in the suburbs than to find something to do in the city.

"You and Aunt Chen, we can't read, what can we do?" Uncle Chen sighed.

Zheng Zhishang smiled and said: "Uncle Chen, I think so, what about this waste product, I don't plan to do it, if you are willing to take over, I will take you away for a few days, as long as you don't stock up, you don't need much capital." When you find what you want to do in the future, when you change careers, you also have your own capital, what do you think? ”

After Grandma Zhong agreed to teach herself tailoring, Zheng Zhishang was thinking about letting go of the matter of collecting waste products, and the initial thought was Uncle Chen, let him take over, but he went to Uncle Chen's house as a guest that day, and Uncle Chen did not mean to do it alone, so Zheng Zhishang did not mention it.

Before Uncle Chen could speak. Uncle Wu smiled and said, "I also think the star is a good idea." Lao Chen, if you don't do it, I can resign and do it with the stars. ”

Uncle Chen said with a smile: "Old Wu, there is a man like you, and you are still competing for a job with a laid-off worker like me." "For Zheng Zhishang's proposal, it is a lie to say that he is not impressed. After all, Zheng Zhishang's beginning, he saw it in his eyes, and he also knew that Zheng Zhishang was able to open a store, all of which were earned by collecting scrap. It's just that he didn't know that Zheng Zhishang himself had a large inheritance.

Looking at the two of them, Zheng Zhishang smiled and said: "Actually, Xiamen is so big, if Uncle Wu is not afraid of being tired, you can do it with Uncle Chen, and the two of them can be divided into different areas to collect waste, and it has no impact." It's just that except for the urban area, I am a little familiar with it, and I can help you pull the business, and you have to run the rest of the places by yourself. ”

"Then it's decided, I also resign, and I won't accept the bird's anger of Weng Fatman." Uncle Wu said with a smile:

It's just the enthusiasm of the two of them, so Zheng Zhishang didn't expect that after lunch, after borrowing a small amount of money from Zheng Zhishang, Uncle Wu was not ready to go back to the recycling station, and eagerly pulled Uncle Chen to start with Zheng Zhishang. This made Zheng Zhishang smile a little bitterly. Originally, I planned to go to Dr. Zhong Jinzhen's house in the afternoon to learn tailoring from Grandma Zhong.

But no, since Grandma Zhong agreed to teach Zheng Zhishang to learn to be a tailor, although Zheng Zhishang also wanted to learn it in his heart, but after all, it was an ancestral craft, and at first I thought that Grandma Zhong was just joking, but I didn't expect that Grandma Zhong was not joking.

The next day, when Zheng Zhishang led the little girl to Grandma Zhong's house again, Grandma Zhong asked Zheng Zhishang when he would start studying.

Due to the need to collect waste, Grandma Zhong also has classes to attend at school. In the end, the two decided that Zheng Zhishang would go to collect waste in the morning, and Zheng Zhishang would come over to study in the afternoon.

It is precisely because of this that in the past few days, Zheng Zhishang has not taken the little girl with him, and when Grandma Zhong is at home without class, he asks her to follow Grandma Zhong, and Grandma Zhong also likes it very much. Zheng Zhishang himself went out to collect waste every morning, and in the afternoon, he went to Grandma Zhong to learn tailoring.

Even took advantage of Grandma Zhong's class at school, Zheng Zhishang begged Grandma Zhong to take him and Yaya to audit.

At first, Grandma Zhong was worried that Zheng Zhishang would not understand, but soon after seeing the notes made by Zheng Zhishang, she couldn't help but be a little surprised and shocked. It's not at all like a seven-year-old, and the notes are more careful and detailed than those of the students.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already seen Zheng Zhishang's demons, he was faintly accustomed to some of Zheng Zhishang's surprising performances, otherwise he would really treat Zheng Zhishang as a monster and invite a Taoist priest to catch demons and exorcise demons.

"Xingxing, I see, you don't have to go to collect waste, follow Grandma in the future and study hard. It won't be long before you'll be able to be a little tailor. This is also what Grandma Zhong often laughs and jokes about Zheng Zhishang.

Every time he heard Grandma Zhong's words, Zheng Zhishang would smile and nod his head: "Well, I want to too, but now come and learn from Grandma for an afternoon, and collect waste in the morning, it's good, work and study at the same time." ”

After all, becoming a fashion designer is a dream that Zheng Zhishang had worked hard in his previous life, and now that he has an excellent master to teach, Zheng Zhishang naturally wants to study with Grandma Zhong with peace of mind. I especially saw the little girl wearing a skirt designed by herself and made by Grandma Zhong's hands.

The dream of becoming a fashion designer in his previous life was even stronger in Zheng Zhishang's heart.

What Zheng Zhishang didn't expect was that the little girl Lin Yu was also full of interest in tailoring and painting, and she was also very talented in this area. Except for at the beginning, Zheng Zhishang left her at Grandma Zhong's place, muttering unhappily. Now I don't want Zheng Zhishang and Grandma Zhong to say anything.

The little girl herself will be upside down, happily follow Grandma Zhong's side, and under the guidance of Grandma Zhong, she can recognize words and learn to paint. There is no need for Zheng Zhishang to worry about it at all, and Zheng Zhishang is also happy to do so, but the little girl sticks to herself, as always, and there is no reduction at all.

However, seeing that the enthusiasm of the two was very high, Zheng Zhishang also smiled and said: "Cheng, but you follow like this, do you just want to follow me and watch me make money...... After collecting the scrap, there must be a car to pull it. Uncle Chen, Uncle Wu, you two go buy a tricycle first. I'm going to get busy with some things, and I'll meet here later, okay? ”

The two did not hesitate at all about Zheng Zhishang's proposal, nodded happily, and after agreeing, the two went separately to prepare.
