Chapter 62: Sorrow
We washed our hands and went in, and everyone helped to cook the dumplings. Our family doesn't have the kind of table they have, so Lin Pengfei moved a square table in the corner, and I hurried over to help, but the paint on the table had fallen off and it was very dilapidated.
He smiled: "This table is a little unsightly, the kind of plastic sheeting in the restaurant can look better." β
I nodded: "Cheng, my mother and I will buy it tomorrow, and we will put on a blank sheet of paper today." β
"You still have a blank paper that is useful, so it's better to have a newspaper. The family are all teachers, and there are many newspapers. "Lin Pengfei helped me find some newspapers under a cabinet. Picked out a few clean sheets and covered them.
I thanked him gratefully, but Lin Pengfei waved his hand: "It's all trivial, you and Jiajia are friends, that is, my sister-in-law." β
Everyone gathered around to eat dumplings, and Lin Jia excitedly told us about today's turnover.
Mom and Mother Lin were very happy, but also worried about Lin Pengfei's hard work, Mom said, "You have to get up so early, and you have to go to work in the afternoon." Don't go tomorrow. β
Lin Pengfei said: "It's okay to me, Jiajia and Nizi have just started doing business in the past few days, and when they stabilize and they are resting, I am resting, and besides, I didn't work for nothing, don't I still have a salary?" He smiled and sandwiched the dumplings in Lin Mu's bowl.
We discussed what we were going to do tomorrow, and the porridge was still made at Jiajia's side, but I didn't want her to burn coals, so I gave them all the wood and bamboo baskets I had picked up.
Mother Lin said: "Nizi, I went to the construction site with your mother just now. I picked up a few large wooden stakes that could be burned for a long time. β
"Mom! You don't have to worry about this, we can get it right. Lin Pengfei was a little helpless.
"We're not waste, why can't we do it! You don't have to worry about that. It's just a few steps away. β
Lin Pengfei had no choice but to smile.
After dinner, I was about to send the wood I saw to Lin Pengfei to his house, and when I went to hold the basket, Lin Pengfei took it first: "Be careful of the thorns on it, I'll just come." β
I patted the dust on my body and smiled at him, he was such a nice man, he could help with anything, he was a warm person.
I had a good impression of him, of course my mother also found out, and when the three of them left, she said with a smile: "Nizi, when you make money, you have to thank Lin Pengfei well, why don't you make him a dress." β
I nodded, "Okay." β
"Actually, I don't have any other requirements, if my son-in-law can be the same as him, I will die and rest assured."
I hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Mom! You don't want to be like this, you will die and live at every turn. β
"Can you think about him, then?" Mom laughed.
My face was hot: "Mom, I'm thinking about business now, not about this matter." β
"In fact, I thought in my heart that with such a reliance, life will indeed be less bitter."
"Mom, I still have to rely on myself."
"Silly boy. With a man, your life will be better. Mom sighed and looked straight ahead.
I knew she was thinking of her dad, and she didn't say anything more.
In order to get up early tomorrow, I went to bed at six o'clock in the afternoon. I woke up at one or two o'clock in the morning, and I made an extra pot of tortillas. Mom helped me go to the morning market and buy a dozen herrings. Rub it on it with salt and marinate it with sauce first, and it is estimated that it will come out in eight days in ten days.
That's how our business started, there was a park here, and many elderly people who visited the park would buy pickles and porridge when they came home. In addition, there is a hospital in front of it, and the families of the patients who accompany the bed will also buy breakfast here, so the business is not bad.
This business has been doing for nearly 20 days, and we have gained confidence little by little.
The cost is low, even if the pickles can't be sold. I'm not in a hurry, and I can't break it. Corn tortillas and porridge couldn't be sold, so Lin Pengfei helped us walk the streets and alleys, everything was cheaper for a dime, and it would soon be sold.
So we can earn at least ten or eight yuan a day, and at most one day, we can get twenty-five yuan alone, which is enough for half a month's salary on Yi Xiuyan's side.
Lin Jia persuaded her brother cΓ zhΓ: "You don't make much money over there, you are tired and tired every day, and you don't let us work together, wouldn't it be good to open a shop when the time comes?" β
Lin Pengfei refused: "This is the business of the two of you, I just help, I can't come over every day, you just come and give me a day's money." That's good, what's the deal with me adding it? I don't like to do business, so I still want to stay in the factory. β
Hearing him say this, Lin Jia was a little anxious, and I grabbed her: "Everyone has their own ambitions." How can you force your brother to do something he doesn't like? Say no more. β
"You don't know what's going on! My brother said it nicely. In fact, I still think about that woman! β
I asked what was going on. Lin Jia told me: "Didn't I say that I had a partner before?" That woman is the daughter of the deputy director of the current factory, this woman wanted to die or live at the beginning, she had to deal with my brother, she was rejected and did not give up, chased for more than half a year, my brother was finally moved, but the day she came to my house, she saw the appearance of my house, she actually fainted directly in my house, she cried and cried disgusted that the environment of our home was not good, so poor she couldn't stand it, and went home with a serious illness, so they broke up. β
I'm a little speechless, she got sick when she saw someone's house? This is also an exaggeration.
"You say she's going to divide it. As a result, I still hung my brother, and I went out to have a meal with my brother from time to time, and I don't know what they thought, I suspect that her father is worried that my brother has run away, so he used a beauty trick. My brother's skills are good, I'm worried about him, if he leaves, where can I find such a cheap and easy-to-use worker! She whispered.
I chuckled, "Can't you?" β
"That's it."
Lin Pengfei wiped the table in front. Suddenly turned around and said, "Don't get involved in my affairs, I don't cΓ zhΓ because of this." β
He heard such a whisper, and I was also shocked.
Lin Jia stuck out his tongue first, and then said, "Then why do you say it?" You don't want to say that you like to earn more than 70 a month, and the basic salary of other factories will give you 100, not counting bonuses, you don't go, isn't it for that little goblin? β
Lin Pengfei sighed helplessly: "I'm because I have plenty of time here, and I can learn technology when I'm free, forget it." It's useless to talk to you. β
"You're just making excuses. Forget it, I don't bother to worry about you! Lin Jia stepped aside.
As an outsider, I can't say anything, as if it never happened, Lin Pengfei didn't say anything about it to me again.
We sell meatballs and noodles, and I saw that I had more money in my hand, so I found someone to make a car for the cake, and the batter was spread on the iron pot, and the eggs were beaten, and the potatoes and green onions were put in the middle, and the chili sauce was put in the middle.
I concentrated on selling potato cakes, and Lin Jiajia was not to be outdone, so she sold the steamed vegetarian buns inside. The vegetarian buns made by her mother are a must, fresh and fragrant, leeks, kohlrabi, tofu, and radish. There are also shrimp eggs in it. It also sells very well.
Although I was very tired, I was very happy to see so much money in my hands.
Later, I asked Lin Pengfei to help find a waste iron bucket, put coal in it, a broken pot on it, and stew some tea eggs, these are the livelihoods I thought of before, I don't do much, five cents, someone buys it, no one buys it, just put it over there and sell it slowly, you can eat it yourself, and I'm not in a hurry.
When Lin Jia and I couldn't get busy, my mother and Lin mother also came out to help, collecting money to sell cakes and wipe the table or something.
During this period, Zhao Jinku and Yi Xiuyan came to buy vegetables. happened to run into us setting up a stall, and the two of them were resentful and came over angrily: "I said! Even if you don't work here anymore, do you have some morals to follow? β
Lin Jia didn't pay attention to them at all, I smiled and said, "What do you mean?" β
"What do you mean?" Yi Xiuyan pointed at the herring fish on the counter with a sharp voice: "This pickled fish was stolen from us, right?" I warn you. Hurry up and withdraw from me, or I won't sue you!" β
I smiled and said, "This fish is our own method, and the taste is different, don't you believe you eat it?" Besides, all the snack bars sell it, and you can't just let us sell it just because your family sells it? Otherwise, you will go to the industrial and commercial bureau to sue us? "Their fish is sweet. Our house is salty and spicy, and there are a lot of chili peppers on top, and I am confident that I will not be accused at all.
"Shameless, you dare to steal our craft!"
I grabbed the spoon in my hand: "You really think it's before!" Casually bullied you? You and that sΓ¨ lΓ‘ng husband of yours hurry up and get out! Don't make me say nice things! β
"Be careful that we keep you out of business!" Zhao Jinku said viciously.
I laughed and said, "Try it!" Your family also has a restaurant, if you dare to smash us, we will dare to smash your house, I think it's itchy again, how did you get you last time, forgot? β
Zhao Jinku looked embarrassed, grabbed his wife and left, and scolded on the road in a beautiful manner, saying that our family's things are pitiful, don't buy them, and the people around them are just watching the excitement, and no one pays attention to her.
Lin Jia sneered: "Do you know Nizi, they are even worse now, it is free to find a fΓΊ ΓΉ member, saying that it is a probationary period of one month, and then when the time comes, they will find an excuse to dismiss them, and use a new one, as much shame as they want." β
I smiled: "That kind of restaurant is not destined to be big, let them die by themselves." β
We continue to do our work, the two tax collectors come every day, the woman was lost face last time, so every time she drooped her eyelids, but that Zhang Lei and we gradually became familiar with each other, and often chatted a few words.
