Chapter 15 Shops

The New Year was spent inadvertently in Li Youran's busyness, and when he came back to his senses, it was already January of the following year, which was the coldest time of the year, and the temperature reached as low as minus 8 or 9 degrees Celsius. Pedestrians wrapped themselves in thick cotton clothes and hurried through the streets, not bothering to make any stops.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and in the spontaneous market on the east side of Anhua Street, under the bare old poplar tree with a straw rope around the waist, there is still a long queue in front of the bun stall, and people are hunched their necks, put their hands in their cuffs, and keep stomping their feet. The cold wind was biting, but no one wanted to leave, just stared at the steaming white cage drawer on the stall, and couldn't stop swallowing saliva.

It was close to eleven o'clock at noon, and the chubby middle-aged woman put down the cage drawer and shouted in a loud voice:

Chapter 15 Shop "Everyone! Everybody! Sorry, today's buns are sold out. Please come back, everyone! ”

The crowd roared, and the team suddenly became chaotic.

"Sold out again? I didn't buy it yesterday! My little grandson is still messing with me. An old woman carrying a basket of vegetables shouted dissatisfiedly.

"It's like, there's only so much to buy every day, I said, how did you do it? I don't know how to make money if I have money. An old man also accused.

"Aunt Qi, you guys do more, I've been waiting for almost an hour."

"Yes, yes, let's wrap it up again, we'll all wait." Many chimed in.

Aunt Qi was happy in her heart, but she deliberately made a bitter face and sighed helplessly.

"Neighbors, we also want to do more, alas, first, there is not enough manpower, and secondly, the main reason is that the materials are not in supply, and the supplier is very tight. Guys, I'm sorry, you go and take care of other people's businesses. ”

"Besides, what is on the other stalls, I eat it like chewing wood scrap now. Forget it, go home and make your own notes. ”

"Alas, it looks like I'm going to come early tomorrow, let's go."

The customers shook their heads and reluctantly dispersed.

Chapter 15 Sun Xiaoying gasped and sat on the stool, half of her little face exposed under the red scarf was frozen red, but fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"I'm tired." Sun Xiaoying shook her sore wrist.

Aunt Qi cleaned up her things quickly, her face was full of joy, and she didn't seem to feel tired at all.

Since joining the bun stall, although it is harder than before, but the harvest is quite rich, less than a month, Aunt Qi's dividends have reached more than 3,000 yuan, which was almost unimaginable in the past. There are also more braised pork, sweet and sour fish and small wine on the dinner table at home, which makes the person in the family even ashamed and ashamed, but cheeky to eat. I bought a new down jacket for my son, and the little one's eyes lit up. and the landlord who always pulled his face, faced Aunt Qi who took the initiative to pay the rent in advance, and unprecedentedly opened an ugly smile.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qi smiled from the bottom of her heart, her heart was warm, and she didn't feel anything when the cold wind blew on her face.

"Xiaoying, why hasn't your brother come back today?" Aunt Qi turned her head and asked.

"I don't know, Brother Youran went out early in the morning and didn't say anything. Hmph, I must have been lazy. Sun Xiaoying pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly.

Aunt Qi approached Sun Xiaoying.

"Hehe, Xiaoying, your brother has bought again. By the way, do you know where that Chinese cabbage was bought? That's such a good variety, it's the first time I've seen it in so many years. Aunt Qi's face was full of curiosity.

"I don't know, Brother Youran said that it was a new variety that he tried to grow with a fellow countryman, and there were very few goods. Others can't buy it. Sun Xiaoying said casually.

"Hehe, I'm just curious, just ask." Aunt Qi smiled and stopped.

At this moment, a crisp bell sounded, and the two looked up together, only to see Li Youran, who was wearing a velvet hat and a gray cotton coat, riding over.

"Aunt Qi, Xiaoying, it's over. Hard work. Li leisurely stopped the car, landed on one leg, and said hello with a smile.

"Brother Youran, where have you been? Don't say a word. Sun Xiaoying asked dissatisfiedly.

"Xiaoying, get in the car, I'll take you to a good place, make sure you can't sleep at night." Li Youran smiled mysteriously and whispered.

"What, so mysterious?" Sun Xiaoying muttered and stood up.

"Aunt Qi, please close the stall, I'll go out with Xiaoying." Li Youran said to Aunt Qi.

"Okay, you can go with confidence, my son should come to help after school in a while." Aunt Qi smiled and nodded.

Sun Xiaoying turned sideways, sat on the back rack of the bicycle, and grabbed Li Youran's waist with both hands.

"Let's go!" Li leisurely kicked the ground, and the bicycle drove briskly forward.

"Brother Youran, where are we going?"

"Antai Road."

"Where are you doing?" Sun Xiaoying was a little confused.

"You'll know when you get there, I won't say it now. Hehe. Li Youran is still selling Guanzi.

"Bad brother." Sun Xiaoying pinched Li Youran's waist hard. Through the thick cotton clothes, Li Youran only felt a burst of itching, his handlebars were crooked, and the car drew a dragon on the road.

"Hehe, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss. We'll all be in a big cake in a moment. ”

The car recovered its state, and in the laughter of Sun Xiaoying, it turned and headed towards Antai Road.

After about half an hour, the two of them came to Antai Road, turned east, and when they were about to leave the main road, Li Youran turned the handlebars and turned into a fork in the road, which was a small street called Shigu Lane, and on both sides of the street were two-story buildings of various small shops.

Li Youran stopped in front of a shop with a sign of "Feng Ji Snack City" on the east side of the road, the store was not open, and the faΓ§ade was tightly covered by aluminum alloy roller shutter doors. Although the location here is a little off, it is also close to the main road, only a dozen steps away.

"This is it, Xiaoying, get off." Li greeted leisurely.

Sun Xiaoying jumped off the rear frame and looked at the store suspiciously.

"What are we doing here?"

Li Youran didn't answer, he put up his bicycle, walked to the roller shutter door, took out a string of keys from his pocket, bent down and plugged in the keyhole at the bottom, and then pulled it up hard.

"Whoa!" The roller shutter door quickly rises upward, revealing the storefront with glass doors.

"Ahh Sun Xiaoying exclaimed, her eyes widened, and she looked left and right, as if she was worried that someone would come to interfere.

Li Youran pushed open the glass door, turned his head, and said to Sun Xiaoying:

"What are you looking at? Come here. ”

Sun Xiaoying walked over nervously and said anxiously:

"Brother Youran, why do you open someone else's store casually? It's bad when people come in a while. ”

Li laughed leisurely, he took Xiaoying's hand and walked into the store.

"Silly girl, from today onwards, this is our shop."

"What?" Sun Xiaoying opened her mouth wide and looked at Li Youran in disbelief, who smiled and nodded. And explained to her what happened.

During this time, due to the boom in the business of the steamed bun stall, Li Youran saved a sum of money, which made him, who had enough of the guerrilla life, have a stronger desire to open a store. So I rode around and started looking around for a suitable store.

However, the store is not so easy to find, either the price is expensive, or the location is wrong, or the area is not suitable. Finally one day, Li Youran found this place and found that a snack bar could not be maintained due to poor management, and was ready to be distributed. Although the location of this store is not in the downtown area, it is very close to the main road of Antai Road, and it is not too far from Tianhai University and Normal College.

Li Youran found the owner of the snack bar and entered the store to see the house. This shop is not small, there are 36 square meters in the hall alone, and there is a kitchen behind the hall, and the kitchen is OK, with a four-eye gas stove, and the equipment is relatively new. There are three rooms on the second floor, one large and two small. The total area of the store is 100 square meters, and there is also a 40 square meter backyard.

Li Youran was very satisfied, and asked the snack bar owner to find the landlord, and after bargaining, he finally rented the store at a price of 3,000 yuan per month. After paying three months' rent, Li Youran signed a one-year lease contract with the landlord.

There are also a number of decent dining tables and chairs, counters, shelves, kitchen equipment, pots and pans in the original snack bar, etc., and the boss plans to go back to his hometown to quit, so he will give these belongings to Li Youran at a discount of 5,000 yuan.

Before and after, Li Youran's reserve funds were half spent at once, and spending money was really like flowing water, Li Youran sighed. He thought of Luo Fatzi, this guy can't just eat and drink for nothing, he has to do some work, he is also a public family, and the procedures for business licenses and health permits are not a big deal, so it fell on him.

Li Youran immediately called Luo Fatzi and explained the matter. Luo Fatzi readily agreed to ask someone to handle it, but said that he would often go to the store for food appreciation activities in the future, and asked Li to control the wild girl to ensure his personal safety. Li Youran smiled and agreed.

I'm finally going to get out of the guerrillas and become a regular army! Li Youran shouted excitedly in his heart. !!
