"Chen Xu, you don't do a good job, you actually want to open a supper stall?"

After dinner, on the way home for the two, Chen Ziqi finally spoke and looked at him with strange eyes.

"It's a side hustle." Chen Xu corrected her, still thinking about where to get money.

He used to work overtime until 8 o'clock in the evening every day, and when he went home, he had to pass by the snack street. At night, there are a lot of people here.

A few days before he entered the dream, he noticed that the supper shop was being transferred, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time. Later, in a dream, when I was learning cooking from 2003, I considered taking over this restaurant.

The location of this store is a little out of the way, and the area is also small, so the rent should not be too high. Second, it is close to home, and third, you can do it as a side hustle first, working during the day and doing supper at night, which is not a conflict. When the business is on track, you can do it full-time.

As a result, when I asked the owner of the supper stall just now, I realized that things were not so simple.

The rent is three thousand and a half a month, and he can still accept it. But when the other party asked for a transfer fee of 50,000 yuan, he couldn't understand it. Just those things in the store, 10,000 yuan is up to the sky.

He also wanted to negotiate with the boss, but the people didn't let go at all, and they asked for 50,000 yuan if they were bitten to death.

In desperation, he was ready to give up.

His psychological bottom line is 30,000, and if he exceeds this number, it is not impossible to make up, but he feels that the pressure is too great. Doing any business is risky. His first consideration was how much money he could afford to lose if the business failed.

The boss also explained that when he took over the store, he paid a transfer fee of 50,000 yuan, and at least he had to get the money back, otherwise it would be too much of a loss. It's not that there is no business in the store, it's just that they have an urgent matter and have to transfer it.

Chen Xu asked him what was urgent.

It turned out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins and was about to give birth. When the time comes, the big and the small will have to be taken care of. His son must not be able to take care of him alone, and he discussed letting them go back. And they agreed.

Seeing that the due date was approaching, his son called them every day during this time. They originally wanted to close the store for a month or two and then come back and open the store, but then they thought that after their daughter-in-law was out of confinement, they would not be able to take care of the two younger ones, and they didn't know how long they would stay at home. Just transfer the store.

From his tone, Chen Xu heard that he was not willing to give up this store, and the transfer was purely helpless.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he made a proposal to let the owner rent the store and the equipment in the store to him for a few months. A few months later, the owner came back and could continue to open the shop.

The boss was obviously a little moved, discussed with his wife for half an hour, asked him about the basic situation, and finally agreed to the plan. The condition is that he will take out 20,000 yuan as a deposit, and in terms of rent, he only needs 4,000 yuan.

Chen Xu agreed and agreed to sign the contract tomorrow.

Judging from the conversation, the boss and his wife were very kind, and said that they would be invited to this meal. It's just that Chen Xu didn't agree, so he just settled the account.

Now he still has 10,000 yuan in his card, and he still has two days to pay his salary, and most of the wages are not enough.

I still have to borrow it from someone else.

On the side, Chen Ziqi saw that he was silent, and said in surprise, "You have been working for two years, you won't even be able to get 20,000 yuan, right?" ”

Chen Xu felt that she was deliberately stimulating herself and didn't want to deal with her.

Chen Ziqi said again, "Otherwise, I'll lend it to you." ”

Chen Xu was unmoved, patted her on the head, and said, "Keep your money for yourself." ”

"Don't move my head."

Chen Ziqi wanted to open his hand, but he was empty, and wrinkled his nose at him, "Brainless, I don't want to borrow your money, you deserve to make no money." ”

"You don't have to worry about that."

While the two were talking, they returned to the rented room.

Chen Xu took a shower, took a briefcase and car keys, and said, "I'm out, you sleep here alone at night, remember to lock the door, if there's anything, call me." Also, don't run around. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning. ”

Chen Ziqi was packing up his things, and when he saw that he was finished, he said impatiently, "I know, hurry up and go, it's really, it's more verbose than my dad." ”

Chen Xu left. He rented a single room, although he could make a bunk on the floor, but she was also fourteen or fifteen years old, and it was always inconvenient to sleep in one room, even if it was a brother and sister, she had to avoid suspicion.

He drove the car and went to the company, intending to stay there for one night. A hotel costs a lot of money for a night, but you can still save money.

When I arrived at the company, it was exactly eight o'clock, and there were still people in the department working overtime. When I saw him, I was a little strange and asked him why he came here at this time.

"I remember that there is some work that is not done, and you are busy with yours." Chen Xu answered, went to his place, turned on the computer, and got busy.

That's right, let's get ready for what we need to do tomorrow.

At nine o'clock, several other colleagues left, leaving him alone.

He turned off the computer, walked to the window, picked up the phone, and dialed Don's number, "Hey, it's me." Is it convenient to speak now? ”

Then, I heard the sound of the door closing, "What's the matter, tell me." ”

Chen Xu said, "Do you have it convenient now?" Can you lend me 10,000 yuan, and pay you back after two months. ”

"When?" Old Tang didn't ask much.

"Tomorrow before work."

"Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Chen Xu prepared a lot of words, but he didn't expect him to ask anything, and in the end, it turned into a sentence, "Thank you." ”

"Let's do this first, my wife has finished taking a shower, I'm going in, and we'll talk tomorrow." After Lao Tang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Chen Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, the deposit of 20,000 yuan was finally solved. He sat back in his seat, took out a pen and paper, and began to write down the ingredients he would buy tomorrow.

In the dream, I can't remember most of the details of the cooking skills I learned from 2003. There is only one thing I still remember, and that is the secret recipe for boiling soup.

He used to watch TV dramas and say how valuable the century-old soup in the century-old store was. Many noodle restaurants rely on a pot of old soup to support themselves or something, and the longer the old soup is boiled, the better the business.

Of course, he hadn't been to those century-old restaurants, so he didn't know what it tasted like. The soup boiled out in 2003 was indeed very delicious, and he felt at the time that it should not be worse than those century-old soups. So it's more attentive and remembers it very carefully.

There are not many raw materials, they are all ordinary ingredients, but it is a bit troublesome to make, so you have to prepare in advance.

He made a list of all the things he wanted to buy, tore off the paper, folded it, and put it in his pocket. Get up and walk into the reception room, lie down on the couch, and go to sleep.
