Chapter 436: Selling Lunch Boxes
Chapter 436: Selling Boxed Lunches
"You're crazy, aren't you?" An Rong yelled at Gu Zhiqiu with an uncontrollable expression: "I provide you with reading, do I let you go through the streets and alleys to sell boxed lunches?" Are you sick? ”
As soon as school started in early March, Gu Zhiqiu joined forces with Hu Jinmeng and began to cook vegetables and sell boxed lunches. Hu Jinmeng has long dropped out of school and does not want to study, but she still knows the life and thoughts of students very well.
I've always wanted to do something with my uncle, but because I was young, I had too many troubles before I was young, so no one believed me at all.
Gu Zhiqiu divorced and went home, and staying under his stepmother's nose all day was not the case. She had been thinking about doing some business for a long time, and she had thought about it very clearly. Love is really unreliable, but it is better to hold the money in your hand to be more realistic.
That day, Fu Xin and Zhang Cuilian talked about contracting the school canteen, and the two of them made up their minds in their hearts. One has money in his hands and doesn't understand the market, and one has a lot of ideas, but he has a lot of money but a lot of time.
Then the two hit it off and decided to try to sell boxed lunches at the school gate. Inspecting the market, discussing the menu, calculating the cost, and determining the price, the two found a fatal problem when the paper conversation was over. That is, neither of them can cook, and even if they can do the craft, it is too unsatisfactory.
After thinking about it, she finally went to find Zhang Cuilian, Zhang Cuilian was shocked that Hu Jinmeng actually had to do business at a young age, and even more surprised that Gu Zhiqiu was embarrassed to push a tricycle to go out to sell boxed lunches. This is simply incredible, is this still the Gu Zhiqiu she knows?
Gu Zhiqiu's idea is more practical, as long as he makes money, what are he afraid of? Selling boxed lunches at the school gate is only temporary, mainly considering the needs of students and figuring out the competitors in it. When the time is ripe, I opened a fast food restaurant opposite the school, with small profits and quick turnover, and I don't know how beautiful it is during the winter and summer vacations.
This idea coincides with Zhang Cuilian, but she always sees that the fast food restaurant at the school gate often changes owners, so she doesn't dare to do it. But I didn't expect the cost of the contracted canteen to be so expensive, it was just scared to death.
"We might as well do this, and I'll hire you to help with the cooking. It's just a meal at noon, and then I go out with Xiaomeng to sell. Take a good look at your surroundings and also look at the level of consumption of the children. Sell it for two months to test the water, even if it doesn't make money, you should exercise it. "Gu Zhiqiu's idea is not bad, the problem is that An Rong is impossible to agree. Zhang Cuilian didn't want to get involved in the mother and daughter, once the East Window incident happened, she would definitely eat without good fruit in the end.
Zhang Cuilian excused herself and said, "Your eldest brother is busy over there, although I am not an expert, I can also help a lot." I don't have the time to sell lunch boxes with you, but I can give you an idea. ”
Gu Zhiqiu frowned and said, "What idea?" ”
Zhang Cuilian smiled: "Look at how many people are laid off now?" If you ask me to cook for you, you might as well hire a woman who can stir-fry. Give her three hundred or four hundred a month and let her work all morning, no better than looking for me. ”
Hu Jinmeng chuckled: "It's true, it's really inappropriate for you to stir-fry for us as a big writer." We can't afford to hire you! ”
Gu Zhiqiu thought that he was really whimsical, and said that he hired his sister-in-law to help him stir-fry. She also has a lot of money in her pocket, so she doesn't have to make such hard money to make money.
nodded curtly, and finally found a laid-off female worker to help him stir-fry. The place where the lunch box was made was temporarily at Hu Jinmeng's house, and although the old lady of the Mu family did not agree, she did not object. I helped peel the potatoes and pick vegetables, and I also did a lot of work.
Gu Zhiqiu's nature of going out early and returning late every day attracted Ye Hong's attention, and after asking a few times, she announced the matter at dinner. Gu Dehai's attitude is that as long as his daughter is happy, he can do anything.
Ye Hong fell into deep thought, and thought about it for two days to find Gu Zhiqiu. said that he wanted to work for Gu Zhiqiu, and he didn't dare to ask for as much as the previous female worker. Her reason is very simple, anyway, Gu Dehai doesn't go home during the day, so she cooks for her son alone. It's better to work with Gu Zhiqiu, not only to save money on vegetables, but also to save some money.
During this time, Gu Zhiqiu also understood that Ye Hong did have some minor problems and liked to take advantage of them. Habitual flattery, and even some have no skin and no face. But she will live a very frugal life, and she will not throw away a bite of leftovers and leave them for the next meal to eat. He is extremely strict with his children, but he never lets him be cheap.
Gu Zhiqiu didn't know whether he should do this, so he ran to ask Gu Dehai. Gu Dehai doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, who is not hired by hires. But he himself knows: "Don't talk about your mother, don't let her know that you hired your Aunt Hong." ”
"She doesn't even know what I'm doing now, she's afraid she'll tell me." Gu Zhiqiu took Ye Hong under his command, and she and Hu Jinmeng sold boxed lunches at the door of a key junior high school. Ye Hong, on the other hand, had two incubators strapped to the back seat of his bicycle, and forty boxes of boxed lunches were placed in them to sell at the gate of his son's school. His children are also obedient and go to the door to find his mother after school. first helped his mother sell boxed lunches to collect money, and when the students were gone, he stood at the school gate and ate boxed lunches. After eating, he went back to class to read a book, while Ye Hong rode back home.
With Ye Hong's addition, the natural cooking place was moved to Gu Dehai's house. Gu Zhiqiu took care of the family's water and electricity bills, and gave Ye Hong a salary of 400 yuan every month. In the morning, she and Ye Hong went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and came back, and at eight o'clock Hu Jinmeng arrived at their house on time to start working. Wash the vegetables, cook the rice, cook the vegetables, box them and sell them separately.
But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Ye Hong's son's school is not far from An Rong Bookstore. The people hired in the bookstore ran out to buy a boxed lunch, and the food tasted good, and An Rong also wrote it down. One day, she ran out to buy food by herself, and before she crossed the street, she saw that it was Ye Hong.
Seeing Ye Hong buying a boxed lunch, An Rong's heart began to feel uneasy. As expected, it was really Gu Zhiqiu who sold boxed lunches with Ye Hong. An Rong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and estimated the time to rush to the Gu family and arrest Gu Zhiqiu.
Seeing that her mother already knew, Gu Zhiqiu was not so weak-hearted. "What's wrong with my own money? If you don't steal or rob, you don't know how to sell it! ”
An Rong saw her indifferent look, and was satisfied with the little money she earned. The green tendons on his angry forehead jumped straight and blurted out and scolded. Ye Hong looked really bad-looking, and wanted to step forward to say something, but he knew that he didn't have a position.
As soon as the thought came to mind, An Rong pointed the gun at Ye Hong, scolded her for her ill intentions, and scolded her for using her daughter as a raft. Ye Hong was wronged by her scolding, and how could she suffer it in her own home. After two sentences, they quarreled together, making Gu Zhiqiu unable to get off the stage.
Seeing that if he didn't cook anymore, his business at noon today would be ruined, Hu Jinmeng was young and a clever ghost, and hid in the kitchen to wash rice and steam rice.
Gu Zhiqiu pulled his mother and stepmother away, and the mother and daughter began to quarrel again. The two quarrels are different from others, and they can say whatever they want in their hearts.
An Rong immediately understood that Gu Zhiqiu's sale of boxed lunches was known to the whole family except himself. slammed the door angrily, and Gu Zhiqiu, who was angry, sat on the sofa and cried.
Ye Hong walked out of the room, her face was unhappy, and she didn't complain anything. walked to the phone and called Gu Dehai. Tell him that An Rong will come over to make trouble today, and remind him not to go to him for a while to make trouble and let him hide.
Gu Zhiqiu's face was red when he heard this, and he apologized to Ye Hong with shame and shame. Ye Hong didn't say anything about An Rong in front of Gu Zhiqiu, so she could only say sarcastically: "Let's cook first, if you can't catch up, you will lose it." ”
An Rong did not go to Gu Dehai, but got into the car angrily to find Shao Hua. She felt more and more that Zhang Cuilian was incompatible with her, and wanted to ask Shao Hua if she threw Zhang Cuilian away because she was a broom star.
Zhang Cuilian thought that her relationship with An Rong was quite good in this life. At the beginning, I first found an opportunity to meet my mother-in-law, and then I took the opportunity to meet Gu Zhicheng. Before she got married, she didn't know how much effort she put into pleasing her, even Gu Zhiqiu She also put a lot of effort into it.
But I forgot that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a big problem since ancient times, just like natural enemies.
An Rong had already blamed Zhang Cuilian for Gu Zhiqiu's divorce and return home and now becoming a small businessman. She thought that she had also told her fortune before, and the man had also said that she had committed a villain.
Shao Hua looked at An Rong, who suddenly came to visit, in surprise, and asked with a surprised face, "You, why are you here?" How do you know about our family? ”
An Rong's face was full of rebelliousness: "It's not easy to find someone in such a broken place?" A place as big as a provincial city, I can't lose it! ”
Shao Hua nodded again and again to let An Rong in, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, you have great knowledge." ”
Seeing that there was no one at home, An Rong pulled his face and asked Shao Hua: "Why did you give Zhang Cuilian away?" ”
Shao Hua was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the situation was. Seeing Shao Hua's stunned appearance, An Rong said impatiently: "If you don't say it, I also know, Zhang Cuilian is not destined to fail, who is unlucky?" ”
Shao Hua continued to maintain a petrified expression, and he couldn't guess what An Rong was trying to do.
saw An Rong take out a wallet from his clothes, took out three hundred yuan from it and threw them on Shao Hua's body.
Shao Hua immediately came to his senses when he saw Qian, and asked cautiously with wide eyes, "This, what does this mean?" His hand quickly grabbed the money and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
An Rong saw Shao Hua being so greedy for money, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart. I know that she is a person who wants money and does not want to die, as long as the money is enough, are you afraid that she will not tell the truth?
Then he said in a deep voice: "You give me Zhang Cuilian's eight characters, and then tell me, why did you give her to people in the first place?" ”
Shao Hua understood as soon as she heard it, her strange behavior today must be related to Zhang Cuilian. It's just that she can't guess what it is.
"Eight characters?" Shao Hua said with concern on his face: "What happened?" ”
