Chapter 6 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Bocheng in September is particularly cool, after dinner, Shang Ren accompanied Lin Qiuyun to sit in front of the TV and watch the TV series, the prime time of the eight sets of the imperial court, is a costume drama - the Condor Heroes, everything else is good, that is, when the little dragon girl appeared on the stage, Lin Qiuyun kept complaining, and Shang Ren was powerless to complain.
The little dragon girl, a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, but this new version of the little dragon girl is ...... Indescribable.
"This woman must be under the unspoken rules, if I play the little dragon girl, I will look better than her."
"Hehe......"
"Brother Ren, you're right!"
"Hehe......"
"Can you not always huh?"
"Ahem......"
“……”
TV soon entered the advertising time, and the first advertisement was the endorsement of the baby agricultural products, the handsome and incoherent Shangguan people took a bite here, gnawed a bite, like a starving ghost, and kept saying: "It's delicious!" It's delicious~~~"
Finally, there is a narrator: "Precious agricultural products, Shangguan people say they are delicious." ”
Sangin: "......"
"Shangguan is so handsome!" Lin Qiuyun's face was full of nymphomaniacs: "It's just that the baby agricultural products are too expensive, only rich people on our side can buy some through relationships, and I don't know if it's so delicious?" ”
“……”
didn't hear a response, Lin Qiuyun turned his head to look, and saw Shang Ren staring blankly at the TV, without a trace of gleam in his eyes, like a doll that had lost its soul.
"Brother Ren?" Lin Qiuyun pushed Shang Ren: "Brother Ren, what's wrong with you?" ”
Being pushed by Lin Qiuyun, Shang Ren came back to his senses, saw Lin Qiuyun's worried look, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"And ask me what's wrong, it's me who should ask you! What happened to you just now? Lin Qiuyun touched Shang Ren's forehead: "You didn't react at all just now, you felt like you were dead...... I don't have a fever! ”
Shang Ren frowned, removed Lin Qiuyun's hand, and said, "I'm fine." It's just that I seem to have thought of something just now, and the man on TV just now ...... I think I've seen it. ”
Lin Qiuyun suddenly sighed: "What did you say!" Who hasn't seen a capable person! He appears on TV and in the newspapers every day, the national hero of the Celestial Empire, or my idol! It's nothing surprising that you've seen it! ”
"Really?" Shang Ren frowned, always feeling that it wasn't like that, but he couldn't remember what it was.
"Definitely." Lin Qiuyun nodded, then thought of something, looked at Shang Ren with some doubts, and held his chin: "Speaking of which, Brother Ren's figure looks like a capable person!" And they're about the same height! Except that it doesn't look like it. Everything else is like. ”
"Really?" Shang Ren looked down at himself: "Shangguan Nengren's figure is similar to me?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Qiuyun nodded, as if he had thought of something again, and smiled: "And Brother Ren...... Your name is Shangren, and you look like a capable person! It's just that two words are missing in the middle. ”
"Competent people...... Functional people...... Shang Ren ......" Shang Ren muttered two similar but different names in his mouth, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his temples were bruised.
A pair of warm little hands pressed on Shang Ren's temples and rubbed them gently: "Brother Ren, don't think about it." ”
The green muscles gradually calmed down, and the eyebrows and eyes stretched. Shang Ren exhaled and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Lin Qiuyun smiled slightly, did not speak, and continued to rub his temples for Shang Ren. Shang Ren also closed his eyes comfortably.
After a long time, Shang Ren opened his eyes, raised his hand to hold Lin Qiuyun's hands, and smiled slightly: "Okay." Thank you. ”
"No thanks." Being held by Shang Ren's hands, Lin Qiuyun's face was a little more flushed, and he hummed softly: "Brother Ren." In fact, many things just need to go with the flow, and the more you force it, the more difficult it is to achieve the goal, isn't there a saying! There are times in life that you have to have, and there are times in life when you don't force it, no matter how yours go to the ends of the earth, it will be yours in the end, not yours, no matter how much you force it, you can't get it. ”
Shang Ren smiled: "I didn't expect our Xiao Qiuyun to be a philosopher, it's really good." ”
"Of course." Touching his face, Lin Qiuyun raised his chin: "Who am I?" I'm Lin Qiuyun! A cloud in autumn in the forest. ”
Sangin: "......"
Before I knew it, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and the TV series was finished, Lin Qiuyun yawned and stretched: "Brother Ren, are you still watching?" ”
Shang Ren shook his head and stood up: "Don't look at it, wash your face and brush your teeth and sleep!" ”
"Hmm."
Today's newly bought toothpaste, toothbrush and towel, the two of them squatted together by the pool to brush their teeth and wash their faces, and the crickets chirped in the dark night, showing their strength and final madness.
"Brother Ren, let's get all the dishes done during the day tomorrow, or let's go out at night to see the effect!" It's called a soft opening, right? ”
"Hmm......" Shang Ren brushed his teeth and foamed at the mouth: "It's okay." ”
Gargle: "There will be a northeast wind tomorrow, and the temperature will be relatively low at night, so remember to wear more clothes." ”
"There's a northeast wind!" Lin Qiuyun's face was full of admiration: "Brother Ren, you are so powerful." ”
"Hehe......" After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Shangren wiped his face with a towel and said, "Go to bed early!" In the future, I really have to get up early and be greedy for darkness. ”
"Hmm." Lin Qiuyun handed the tooth jar with the toothpaste toothbrush to Shang Ren: "I'll go to the toilet." ”
"Black, don't fall inside."
"Shhhh I have a flashlight. Lin Qiuyun rolled his eyes and instantly killed Shang Ren.
Returning to the house, walking into the cabin that had just been isolated, Shang Ren took off his shoes and went to bed, the length of two meters and a half made Shang Ren very comfortable, pulled the quilt over, took off the thermal underwear on his body, and was only wearing a pair of underwear, and was about to drill the quilt, but suddenly remembered that the curtains had not been pulled yet, and he was about to pull the curtains when he stood up, Lin Qiuyun walked in.
"Ahh
"Uh......" Shang Ren hurriedly closed the curtains and said, "It's not early, go to bed early!" ”
"Uh...... Hmm......" Lin Qiuyun turned off the light, walked into his room with a red face, and after locking the door, he immediately threw himself on the bed, rolling back and forth with the quilt, and his mind was full of Shang Ren's black underwear.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, Lin Qiuyun got off the bed in a daze, walked to the mirror and took a look, his eyes were red: "I'm insomnia, it's so uncomfortable." ”
"Qiuyun, it's early!" Shang Ren had just prepared breakfast when he saw Lin Qiuyun come out. said hello, but his face quickly changed: "What's wrong with you?" Why are your eyes so red? ”
"It's okay...... Lin Qiuyun blushed and waved his hand: "It's just a little insomnia, just go back and make up for sleep." ”
"Why do you have insomnia?" Shang Ren frowned: "Is there a mosquito or is it unwell?" ”
"No problem, no discomfort." How could Lin Qiuyun say that he lost sleep because he was thinking about Shangren's underwear! blushed and lied: "I just thought that I was going to go out of the stall today, and I was a little nervous." ”
"Oh?" Although Shang Ren didn't believe it, he also nodded: "Indeed, I am also a little worried, afraid that customers will not buy it at first because of the high price, but I believe it." As long as we persist, our business will definitely get bigger and bigger. ”
"So ......" rubbed Lin Qiuyun's hair: "Don't be nervous, it'll be fine." ”
"Hmm." Lin Qiuyun nodded, hung his head, and stuck out his tongue.
Yesterday I said that I was going to buy a mobile phone and a computer today, and after the two had breakfast, they went to the mall together. Although she has a mobile phone, it is only an old-fashioned straight phone that can make and receive calls and send texts, and no one wants it for nothing now, but she is very willing to spend money for Sang-in. The mobile phone is Samsung's, the computer is Lenovo's, and it cost 10,000 oceans, by the way. Lenovo is a notebook, more than 6,000 oceans.
Seeing Lin Qiuyun happily swiping the card to settle the bill, Shang Ren didn't say anything. Take it all as it is.
After buying a mobile phone notebook, you always have to buy a mobile phone card and install broadband, the mobile phone card is good to say, you have to wait for the installation of broadband, it is estimated that it will take at least two days to install it, now there are more and more broadband users, Bocheng is not bad, Pingjun network speed has reached 4M, much stronger than those hundreds of K in Sijiu City.
When they got home at noon, the two of them had lunch and prepared the ingredients for the evening stall together.
He was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, looking at the various ingredients that were placed on the trolley, Shang Ren nodded, closed the glass door on the trolley, and said, "No problem, take a rest first, and we'll go to the stall later." ”
"Okay." Lin Qiuyun was nervous and excited, and at the same time full of infinite anticipation.
Shang Ren's cooking is so delicious, she believes that the business of the vegetable stall will be very hot, but after all, it is the first time to go out of the stall, there is no reputation, and the business may not be too good, Lin Qiuyun is ready to fight a protracted battle.
When the two were resting, Shang Ren changed his old clothes at the beginning, stir-frying is a dirty and tiring job, Shang Ren didn't want to spoil the clothes Lin Qiuyun bought for himself, so he decided to wear old clothes when he went out of the stall.
Seeing Shang Ren wearing old clothes, Lin Qiuyun also took off his new clothes and changed into the old clothes he usually wears when he went out to the stall.
Shang Ren suddenly smiled: "The two of us are really like a migrant couple now, very old-fashioned." ”
Lin Qiuyun chuckled: "It's Brother Ren who is old-fashioned, and this girl is still so flowery and beautiful, youthful and moving." ”
"I'm ~~~~~~~ vomiting"
"Nasty, I'll kill you! Shoot you! ”
Amid the laughter, the time came to five o'clock, and Shang Ren and Lin Qiuyun rode a cart and a tricycle full of buckets towards the predetermined stall location.
When I came to the place where Lin Qiuyun used to set up a stall, the old lady who sold shoes next to her was suddenly surprised: "Qiuyun, have you changed stalls?" ”
"yes!" Lin Qiuyun smiled on her face and said, "Grandma Zhang, now that I have changed to stir-frying, let me tell you, I invited a super chef this time, and the dish is delicious, wait for Grandma Zhang to taste it and give me a cheer." ”
"Super Chef?" The old lady's eyes turned to Shang Ren's face, and she couldn't help but be stunned again: "Isn't this the one who asked for food a few days ago?" ”
Shang Ren was suddenly embarrassed, and his face was full of embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
Lin Qiuyun was very dissatisfied: "Grandma Zhang, Brother Ren didn't ask for food, he just had amnesia, but his fried dishes were particularly delicious, the best I have ever tasted, I don't believe you can taste it later, I guarantee that you will not forget it after eating it once." ”
The old lady knew that she was speechless, and laughed dryly: "Young man, don't care, I just said it casually, and I don't mean anything else." ”
"It's okay, I don't mind." Shang Ren smiled, took the gas canister, bucket and other tools off the car, set them up one by one, and hung the blackboard with the name of the dish in front of the trolley, as well as the halal sign, if there was no this, the Muslims would not come here to stir-fry, even if it was delicious.
Because there are too many Hui people in Bocheng, and Lin Qiuyun is also a Hui min, Shang Ren also deliberately put the stir-fried vegetables within the range that the Hui people can eat, and there are no taboo things for the Hui people.
The stall has just been set up. The old lady put her eyes on the blackboard, which said more than 20 kinds of dishes, in fact, Shang Ren will make many kinds of halal dishes, but a small business, not enough place, can only be streamlined as much as possible, among which there are more than ten dishes The price is 15 yuan, the price of seven or eight dishes is 20 to 25 yuan, and a few dishes are more than 25 yuan, and the most expensive is hand meat. 88 yuan, in the small county town of Bocheng, the average salary of ordinary people is about 1,500 yuan, although 88 yuan can afford to eat, but no one will be idle and not buy such an expensive dish, unless it is a guest to eat, but the guest will go to the restaurant for dinner, who will come to this stir-fry stall!
Lin Qiuyun was originally opposed to Shang Ren making such a high-priced dish, but Shang Ren said that it would be opened for trial operation to see the effect. If it doesn't work and then replace it, Lin Qiuyun thought about it and agreed, so will there be this dish in the stall in the future. It depends on today's sales.
"Qiuyun, how much is this sweet and sour tenderloin?" The old lady asked.
"Sweet and sour tenderloin thirty-five." Lin Qiuyun said.
"So expensive!?" The old lady was startled: "The stir-fry over there is only sold for twenty!" Qiuyun, if you don't know the price, don't talk nonsense, it will scare people away. ”
Lin Qiuyun chuckled. Said: "Grandma Zhang, you don't know, our dishes take the boutique route. The materials used are the best, not only delicious, but also the amount is particularly sufficient, thirty-five is really not expensive, our cost is nearly thirty! ”
"Really?" The old lady didn't seem to believe it.
Shang Ren smiled slightly: "That's it! I'll make a decision for Qiuyun, make a sweet and sour tenderloin and give it to Grandma Zhang, let Grandma Zhang taste it, and see if we are lying. ”
"This ...... How embarrassing is that. Although the old lady said that it was not suitable, she was happy in her heart.
Lin Qiuyun seemed to understand Shangren's plan, and smiled slightly: "Grandma Zhang, you took special care of me before, but now I change my door on the first day, and I always want to invite you to a meal, even if I invite you to this sweet and sour tenderloin, if it is delicious, you will help me publicize it more in the future, if it is not delicious...... It can't be delicious, it's definitely delicious. ”
"Hehe, you girl." The old lady didn't say anything, she was polite if she took advantage of it for nothing.
Shang Ren immediately turned on the fire to stir-fry, first poured the barrel of sanitary oil into the pot, marinated the good tenderloin with starch, then beat the egg batter, stirred evenly, poured the tenderloin into the hot oil pan and fried, until the color was golden and the pot was lifted, and the oil and meat were poured into the colander on the top of the stainless steel basin, the oil went into the basin, and the loin was in the colander.
Then pour a little oil into the wok and heat it, add chopped green onions and minced ginger to the pot, add soy sauce, clear soup, sugar, vinegar, chicken essence and boil, put in the fried tenderloin, collect the juice on high fire, thicken with starch, and the sweet and sour loin with aroma is fresh out of the pot.
Pour the sweet and sour tenderloin into a plastic lunch box, then put it in a plastic bag, take a pair of chopsticks, Lin Qiuyue handed the bag to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Grandma Zhang, you taste it." ”
The old lady had a keen sense of smell, and asked about the fragrant sweet and sour tenderloin, and suddenly her appetite was opened: "Then I'm welcome." ”
Breaking the chopsticks, the old lady picked up a piece of crispy yellow tenderloin and put it in her mouth, and chewed it twice.
"How? Is it tasty? Lin Qiuyun asked.
The old lady suddenly gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious sweet and sour tenderloin, the young man can!" This craft is stronger than that of a hotel. ”
"I'll just say it's delicious!" Lin Qiuyun chuckled: "Grandma Zhang, let's say it, you will help us promote more in the future!" ”
"You can rest assured...... the old lady stuffed the sweet and sour tenderloin into her mouth: "One more shhh ”
“……”
Seeing the old lady gobbling up, Shang Ren smiled slightly, but Lin Qiuyun became more and more confident in the future, but after waiting for more than half an hour, it never opened, and Lin Qiuyun's heart suddenly sank.
"Don't worry." Sensing Lin Qiuyun's anxiety, Shang Ren comforted: "It's the first time we go out of the stall, it is inevitable that we will encounter this situation, just wait to sell the first one, no problem." ”
"I know it's okay, but no one comes to stir-fry, I'm in a hurry!" Lin Qiuyun is only eighteen years old in the end, and even after going through the hardships of life, he is a little breathless.
"Qiuyun, don't worry." At this time, the old lady selling shoes next to her began to close the stall, and said to Lin Qiuyun: "If others don't buy it, I'll buy it!" Young man, bring me a stewed three fresh, and then a fish-flavored shredded pork, how much does it cost? ”
"Grandma Zhang......" Lin Qiuyun's eyes were wet: "Thirty." ”
“……”
The two dishes were made in a few minutes, and finally earned their first income.
But after the old lady left, the business in front of the stall was still very busy, and more than half an hour passed, only three people came to ask the price, two were scared away by the price of vegetables, and the other fried a stew, and dropped fifteen yuan.
"It can't go on like this!" Lin Qiuyun couldn't sit still: "Brother Ren, we have to use some means." ”
Shang Ren smiled helplessly: "By what means?" ”
"Publicity!" Lin Qiuyun smiled: "No matter what business you do now, you have to rely on publicity, our business is so bleak now, it's a lack of publicity, as long as the publicity is done well, no one will buy it." ”
"Oh?" Shang Ren smiled: "Then how do you want to publicize it?" ”
"Ordinary propaganda is definitely not good, since you want to play, you have to play ruthlessly." Lin Qiuyun gritted his teeth and whispered a few words to Shang Ren, who suddenly frowned: "Can this work?" ”
"Definitely." Lin Qiuyun said seriously: "Anyway, it's better than the current lifeless situation." ”
Shang Ren thought for a moment and sighed, "Okay! Although I am prepared for the difficulties enough, it is better to have a good start than to be cold. ”
(If you don't have a commuter pass, give a few more referral tickets!) The panda was hurt. (To be continued......)
