26. If you don't open your mind, you must be beaten
The discussion about whether Zhou Quan was on good terms ended with Zhou Quan rubbing his master's hair in a mess.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Cheng and his gang ran back excitedly, and the popsicles in the wooden box had been sold out.
"Da Lang, you don't know how popular our popsicle is!" As soon as he entered the door, Sun Cheng shouted.
Among many teenagers, he is the most clever and calm one, and Zhou Quan is quite optimistic about him. But even so, he was dancing with excitement at the moment.
As for the other teenagers, they all walked with jumping, and they were even more forgetful.
"It's been sold so soon, hasn't it been an hour?" Zhou Quan had just finished lunch, and he was going to lie down in the shade of the tree for a while, but he was also sitting up straight at the moment, with a look of surprise on his face.
"We originally planned to go to Zhujia to sell the tiles, but after only two workshops, the popsicles were sold out, and someone asked us to send popsicles again!" Sun Cheng said.
No wonder they were excited, in such a short period of time, a box of popsicles was sold out, according to Zhou Quan's previous promise, they could get a penny for every popsicle they sold, doesn't this mean that they earned three hundred wen in less than an hour.
This is more than the amount that a strong laborer earns in a day as a river worker on the Bianhe River.
These teenagers all know Zhou Quan's plan, today is just to practice, and in two days, when all the wooden boxes on Lao Min's side are made, they can each push a box of popsicles out. In this way, as long as you are diligent, able to endure heat and hardship, and earn five or six hundred wen a day, it may not be impossible!
Therefore, their names for Zhou Quan have changed, from Brother Quan, Quan Langjun, to Da Lang. Everyone gossiped, as usual when they did color puzzles, and said their own thoughts and thoughts.
"Pack another box of popsicles, don't always go to one place, don't just sell them by one person, everyone will take turns to try their hands, and in two days, they will all be busy...... Li Bao, don't go. ”
sent everyone else away, but Li Bao was left behind by Zhou Quan.
Li Bao's face turned a little pale, and when everyone said what they had learned, many people criticized him. This time, everyone performed well, but he was the only one who miscounted the money five times, quarreled with someone three times, and almost did it once.
The young team around Zhou Quan is also competitive, and naturally no one is willing to hide it for him.
"Your temper is really not the material for being a shopkeeper." Zhou Quan scratched his head with his hand.
"I ...... I ......" Li Bao muttered a few words, and he was hard-hearted and went home by himself, but he was extremely reluctant to think of the full food he had eaten during this time, especially Zhou Quan's almost hand-in-hand hand-in-hand hand.
"What do you say I should do to you?" Zhou Quan raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were full of melancholy.
Li Bao looked at him, couldn't bear it anymore, fell to his knees, and burst into tears: "Da Lang, I'm too stupid, I can't do anything, I have a bad temper, and I'm stupid, so I'm going to go home by myself......"
This scene was expected by Zhou Quan: this is a child who lacks love, although his mother also loves him, but the hardships of life make it impossible for his mother to show love normally. Among teenagers of the same age, he was ostracized and ignored everywhere, and he lacked friendship.
Li Baodong kowtowed twice, got up to leave, but was pulled by Zhou Quan: "Did I say I wanted to drive you home?" ”
Li Bao wiped his eyes with the back of his hand: "Isn't Da Lang stupid and reckless, and wants to rush me back?" ”
"That's it, it's just that I can spend as much copper as I can spend if you have enough to eat every day...... However, Li Bao, if you want to raise your eyebrows and make some copper money to support your wife, you have to work hard. ”
"Da Lang just say, how do you want me to contribute!" When Li Bao heard that he would not be driven back, he had already burst into tears and smiled, and swore an oath.
Zhou Quan was silent, Li Bao saw this situation, he didn't know what to say, but knelt down for Zhou Quan again: "Da Lang, you say, you just have to command!" ”
"If one day, someone comes and cuts me with a knife, and you're right next to me, what will you do?" Zhou Quan asked.
"Whoever dares to cut Da Lang, I'll cut him first!" Li Bao's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said without hesitation.
"If you cut you, you're going to have to go to court, and you're going to do it?"
"I can eat a lawsuit for Dalang, that's my blessing, I'm stupid and stupid, but I know one thing, if I really eat a lawsuit for Dalang, my mother can eat and drink without worrying, she is an old man and sends her to the end, and her own Dalang will do it for me!"
Don't say that this kid is a stupid person, and stupid people also have their own wisdom. Hearing him say this, Zhou Quan nodded, knowing that this was the condition for the other party to work hard.
After these days, I think Li Bao will have a clear understanding of himself, knowing that working hard for himself is the only way out for him.
"You still have to go ahead with the popsicle business, but tomorrow morning, you go to Uncle Dog and learn from him about wrestling, sumo wrestling, and blades." Zhou Quan said.
Du Gou'er is not very good, but it is more than enough to enlighten Li Bao, if Li Bao learns well, Zhou Quan will move his father to pass him a few hands, and he can even say that he will move Zhou Dong and teach Li Bao the ability to fight in battle.
Hearing Zhou Quan's instructions, Li Bao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Da Lang wants me to be a sumo wrestler?" ”
"Idiot, you just want to be injured in sumo, and then I will not only support your wife, but also you who are paralyzed?" Zhou Quan kicked over.
This time, Li Bao was smart, he didn't dodge, he suffered this kick for life, and his face was full of joy: "It turns out that Da Lang just let me learn martial arts, so that I can work for Da Lang, not to sumo!" ”
Zhou Quan pressed his forehead with his hand: This fool is really a guy who can't be opened, or rather, it was wrong to teach him by himself before, and if you really want to teach him things and truths, you have to beat him?
Facts proved that Zhou Quan's conjecture was right, and the next day Li Bao went to find Du Gou'er, and the two were not elsewhere, so they practiced in the courtyard of Zhou's house. No matter how Du Gou'er teaches, he can't teach Li Bao's posture, as long as he beats Li Bao twice with this method, Li Bao, who has a blue nose and swollen face, can learn.
Du Gou'er was beaten refreshed, and asked for a few popsicles from Zhou Quan with a salivating face, wrapped in his sweaty clothes, and didn't know who to send them. His appearance made Zhou Quan shake his head and pout, thinking that a few popsicles could please a woman, but he was really innocent.
"Da Lang, Da Lang, the popsicle is gone!"
Du Gou'er ran away on his front feet, and Sun Cheng and other teenagers came running with wooden boxes in tow, shouting gossipily.
"If it's gone, it's gone, and I only made 800 sticks last time, and I'm only going to sell so much." Zhou Quan didn't take it to heart.
"Da Lang, but now that the popsicle is in order, I don't know how many people are waiting for it!" Sun Cheng was anxious, these are all tinkling copper coins!
Excluding those that were eaten by themselves, especially those given away by Du Gou'er, within two days, they sold more than 700 popsicles, and got a total of 3,000 yuan. Everyone is not a fool like Li Bao, and they know it clearly in their hearts, when they have a wooden box, everyone scatters to sell, and they can always sell four or five hundred pieces a day, that is, they can earn four or five hundred dollars a day!
Ten yuan a month, even their parents, may not be able to earn so much.
"Don't worry, summer won't pass immediately, what are you anxious about!"
Zhou Quan said this in his mouth, but he also took action. At this scale, the scale of his ice production will have to be expanded to at least 3,000 pieces per day to supply the market.
The next day, when Lao Min delivered the wooden box, after the wooden box was delivered, he simply nailed it with hemp chips and other insulation, and began to load the popsicle.
The box was quite large, enough to hold 400 popsicles, but in order to make it easier to access, Zhou Quan only let each person carry 300. Each person has already been divided, one person wrapped a piece of Wazifang Alley, and after receiving the popsicle, they pushed the cart away.
Zhou Quan didn't have a cart himself, so he slowly followed behind Li Bao with his master and watched how Li Bao sold popsicles.
Li Bao is really a stupid person, he just lowers his head and pushes the box, and he doesn't even raise his head when he drinks, and others can sell ten popsicles in a mile pushing the box, but he can't even sell one.
Zhou Quan didn't say anything, just followed him with his teacher, which was regarded as accompanying the little girl to go shopping.
Enter the inner city from the old Cao Gate, and then take Zhao Shiwan Street to the south, all the way through Panlou Street, Yulin Lane to the old Song Gate, which is Li Bao's territory. When Li Bao arrived here, he only sold more than ten popsicles, he looked back at Zhou Quan, but found that Zhou Quan, who was originally following him, disappeared at some point.
"Dalang?" Li Bao screamed, but did not respond.
Li Bao looked left and right, but couldn't find anyone, but Zhou Quan left by himself, so he pushed the wooden box and left.
"Popsicle popsicle popsicle ......" he drank as he walked, because he was walking too fast, and with a bang, he bumped into someone as he turned the corner.
It was a sedan chair man who knocked down, and the key is that after this guy was knocked down, he even fell with the sedan chair, and a girl fell out of the sedan chair.
This girl is a little thin, looks like she is in her twenties, and should be married, but her eyes are like water, her eyebrows and eyes are like paintings, revealing a different kind of aura. Because of the fall, she was disorganized, a little embarrassed, panicked, and a little angry.
Li Bao panicked at this time, not knowing what to do, just stood dumbfounded, and didn't even apologize.
The girl raised her eyes, Yingying's eyes glanced at Li Bao, and the servant woman next to her stepped forward to pick her up, she pursed her lips, and returned to the sedan chair.
"Boy, won't you apologize, you bumped into my lady, and you just stood there like this?"
The servant woman helped the girl back into the sedan chair and shouted angrily at Li Bao, who came back to his senses and hurriedly bent down to apologize.
It's just that others are clumsy and turn over and over, and it's just a few sentences of "not intentionally".
At this time, Zhou Quan grabbed a few preserved fruits, laughed while walking with his teacher, and came out of a shop. Just saw this shop selling candied fruits, so Zhou Quan took his master in and bought a lot of snacks for her.
This little girl is very lovable, and her voice is soft and easy...... transformation, and most importantly, she also shoulders the heavy responsibility of monitoring Zhou Quan for Zhou's father and mother, so Zhou Quan did not forget to bribe her when he had the opportunity.
The two of them came out laughing, and they saw Li Bao constantly making waves at people, and they couldn't help but stop and look at each other.
The smile on the teacher's face remained unchanged, and Zhou Quan's face showed some helplessness.
Just a moment out of sight, Li Bao can cause trouble, this guy is really a hate-making machine.
Thinking like this in his heart, he can't ignore things, if he is left to Li Bao to deal with it himself, maybe a small thing will become a big thing.
Zhou Quan took a few steps tighter, and did not make a sound at first, but after hearing it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's Li Bao's fault, although the other party is angry, he didn't do anything excessive, it should be settled.
He raised his eyes to look at the small sedan chair, and the curtain of the small sedan chair was lifted, revealing a face that made Zhou Quan slightly dazed.
