Chapter 091: Estrangement and a good start
A fat girl can swallow an egg with her mouth. Because they don't have much money in their hands, about 500 yuan, it is impossible to buy this oven. But without an oven, you can't make cakes and bread with a dry texture.
Lu Xiaoya had a plan in her heart, so she asked them to go back first and went to the bank by herself. She had deposited money in this bank before, so she was familiar with it. When he learned that she was consulting about a loan, the young male clerk was very enthusiastic.
"Comrade, I know you, you came to withdraw money last time."
Lu Xiaoya had time to look at the other party carefully, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing white shirt overalls, looking thoughtful, wearing glasses, looking quite stereotyped, but trying his best to smile with her.
Lu Xiaoya greeted him, "Hello." ”
The other party was professional and patient, answering her questions one by one.
Finally, she was asked to fill out an application and asked her to prepare the certificate and information such as household registration and guarantor as soon as possible. When she comes, she will do it for her.
Lu Xiaoya thanked him for his kindness and sped up to leave. In fact, there is a bit of a headache at this time, I can't imagine that there are quite a lot of procedures, and it is a toss back and forth, and it will be several days later before she opens.
"Xiao Huang, everyone has gone far away and returned to their souls?"
The male employee was called by his comrades, his eyes flickered, and he denied shyly: "What's the matter, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Yo, you just pretend, when you see other beautiful girls, your eyes are straight. But your conditions are so good, take the initiative, are you still afraid that people will not agree? ”
The words of the colleague caused ripples in Xiao Huang's heart, such a young and good-looking girl, maybe there is no object, so she saves her mother from urging marriage every day......
……
When Lu Xiaoya returned to the shop, it was already past noon, and a layer of sweat broke out on the back of her forehead.
Before the person could enter, he heard a babbling northeastern accent.
"Little Bud...... Sister-in-law, you really made it easy for me to find! ”
Lu Xiaoya looked up and saw that it was Tian Da's strong and stocky body, with bright eyes.
She was overjoyed in her heart, and glanced behind him, but heard Tian Dazhuang say: "Brother Zeyang didn't come, he is still in Haicheng, I came alone." ”
"Oh." I don't know why, Lu Xiaoya's mood fluctuated up and down, and a sense of loss came over her.
She deliberately eliminated this emotion, and corrected Tian Dazhuang's title, which is now nameless and indistinguishable, which makes people hear weird.
The fat girl and the swallow were both smiling, and they hurriedly led her to see a big guy, and the outer cardboard package had been opened, revealing a black square body, wasn't it the big oven she needed!
Lu Xiaoya's eyes lit up, three layers and six plates, large in size, large in power, and there are molds in it, which can bake a very large cake, much stronger than the one seen in the store, it is a classic brand in France, it is simply made for her.
Tian Dazhuang came over and said, "Little bud girl, although Brother Zeyang hasn't arrived, you big guy has spent a lot of thought and traveled a lot of places to buy it...... The most important thing is that I worked hard all the way to get it up by train. ”
Who knows, when I arrived in Yuncai County, I found that Lu Xiaoya not only quit her job but also returned the rented small yard.
Tian Dazhuang tossed and turned for two days before finding their store in the city, and the process was a bit twists and turns, which made Dazhuang anxious.
Lu Xiaoya was shocked to realize that she had lost contact with Wei Zeyang, and blamed her for being so busy for a while that she forgot about it. I wrote a letter a few days ago, and by mistake, Wei Zeyang should not have received it yet.
Tian Dazhuang said: "I came this time to shoulder a heavy responsibility, Brother Ze Yang said that he wanted to install a telephone for you, but the matter was not done, and I was not allowed to go back." ”
Yanzi clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, we're going to have a phone!" Uncle Wei and Uncle Tian are so good! ”
Lu Xiaoya didn't refuse, but all kinds of feelings came up in her heart, and she couldn't say it clearly.
I really want to see that man right away.
As soon as Da Zhuang came, he helped her a lot, and he took care of all the rough work.
Preparation before the official opening, procurement, placement of counters and other heavy objects, and posting leaflets or small roadside advertisements...... We are ready one by one and wait for the opening the next day.
But even if they are so busy, it will not affect the two of them, Da Zhuang and Fat Girl, who are frowning and flirting. Fat girl is different from Lu Xiaoya, she is an authentic indigenous girl in the eighties, she and Da Zhuang did not get a license to get married for a day, but they still have to keep their distance from each other, after all, novices like them don't know what it means to avoid ~ pregnancy.
Lu Xiaoya saw it in her eyes and didn't know how to remind her tactfully.
At night, a small light bulb emitting a warm yellow light is hung in the booth of the store.
Because of curiosity, Yanzi always stared at the light bulb, and Lu Xiaoya blocked her eyes with her palm, "We can't keep looking, otherwise our eyes will be uncomfortable and short-sighted." ”
Curious baby swallow asked what myopia was, and Lu Xiaoya patiently explained.
When Yanzi slept in a daze, she still rubbed her eyes and complained: "Mom, Fat Aunt and Uncle Tian don't take me to the movies, Fat Aunt is bad." ”
Lu Xiaoya coaxed her a few words, and the little girl quickly fell asleep.
She calculated the time it would get dark and judged that it was about 10 o'clock, and that even if it was the end of the two films. Lu Xiaoya frowned, a little worried, put on a coat and got up, just in time to hear a knock outside the roller shutter.
She immediately went to open it and asked her why it was so late?
The fat girl said vaguely: "After watching the movie, let's go to Nanhu." ”
Nanhu Lake is a famous attraction in the city, and it is very famous here, and when the weather is good, there will be many foreign faces coming to play.
Lu Xiaoya didn't continue to ask, but felt that the other party's eyes were a little evasive, and the posture of walking ~ was also very strange.
When the fat girl took off her coat and wanted to sleep, Lu Xiaoya saw a red mark under her neck, and the button lining inside seemed to be missing. ”
The fat girl turned sideways, her voice panicked, "No, Xiaoya, let's go to sleep, we won't be able to get up tomorrow." ”
"Okay, then you look me in the eye and answer me? Have you ever slept with Da Zhuang? ”
"Not really, don't ask me."
Lu Xiaoya didn't know what's wrong, she hurriedly broke the window paper, and spread the evidence she found in front of the two people, but the fat girl said with tears in her eyes: "I just slept with him, what's the matter, I'm twenty years old, can't I call the shots?" ”
"I'm for your good, I'm afraid you'll suffer, you're not married yet, in case you ......"
"Just allow you and Mr. Wei to kiss me and me, and not allow me to be with Da Zhuang, is there such a reason?" The more the fat girl thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and there was no door on her lips, "You had a child with a man at the age of sixteen, why do you say me!" ”
Lu Xiaoya was finally angry and cried by her words, she didn't react for a long time, her eyes looked straight at her, her eyes were full of disappointment and sadness.
As soon as the words came out, the fat girl also realized her mistake and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaoya, I didn't mean to say that...... I know you're a victim of this......"
Lu Xiaoya didn't speak for a long time, trembling slightly.
Finally, she said lightly: "Go to sleep." ”
The conversation between the two ended, and in the dark, they tossed and turned, and neither of them slept well.
Before dawn the next day, when Lu Xiaoya got up, the fat girl followed, probably knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and she was very diligent. There was a coal stove at the door, a big pot of sugar water was boiled, and some steamed cakes were made from the gas stove inside, and most of the steamed cakes Lu Xiaoya made now were eggs and milk, and the taste was exactly the same as the steamed cakes that were overwhelming later.
The price of these two items has basically not changed, one dime and five cents for a bowl of sugar water and two cents for a steamed cake.
The main thing in the oven is cream cake, ordinary people have to go to hotels or state-run restaurants to eat, so it is more and more rare and precious, her price is five cents a piece, with paper cups and trays, easy to pack.
Early in the morning, there were people smelling the fragrance on the road, and Baba had to stand by and watch them tinker, and the crowd became more and more crowded.
It seems that the effect of the propaganda is still good.
As soon as the cake in the oven came out, Lu Xiaoya cut it one by one, scraped the cream, and shouted a few times, and sure enough, someone stepped forward to inquire about the price.
The prices are clearly marked, and the cakes are made one by one and placed in clean glass cabinets.
To Lu Xiaoya's expectation, from the beginning of everyone's wait-and-see and eagerness to try, to later, the gate of their cake shop was surrounded by water, crowds, and chaos.
"I want a cream cake!"
"I want two."
They held the money high above their heads, and the sound seemed to come from all directions, Lu Xiaoya and the fat girl looked at each other, and handed over the work of finding money to pack to the fat girl, and she was responsible for continuing to make the cake.
Fortunately, when he was the busiest, Da Zhuang hurriedly came over to help, smashed his mouth and said: Business is too good, don't you need money for cakes!
Lu Xiaoya didn't have time here, in less than an hour, the glass cabinet plus the freshly baked, one or two hundred steamed cakes and cakes were all sold out all day, and Lu Xiaoya was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat and gasp, and the fresh milk ran out before he hung up the sign of 'sold out today'.
It's a pot of sugar water, which is basically not sold much, because it is particularly inconvenient to pack. Originally, Lu Xiaoya planned to set up two small square tables at the door, so that guests could sit and eat sugar water, but today he didn't have his hands free at all.
So in the evening, it could only be digested internally, and Lu Xiaoya specially sent a few bowls to the neighbors on the left and right.
"Xiaoya, help me count, I've never seen so much money, I can't count it!"
As soon as I came back, I saw the fat girl and the swallow surrounding a large pile of banknotes and coins, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
A few cents, a dime, a piece, colorful, disorganized.
Lu Xiaoya asked them to classify them separately, put them together with the same face value, and it took more than an hour to calculate the total amount, a total of 205 yuan and 7 cents.
Therefore, the net profit is basically about 150 yuan.
