Chapter 34 Business Opportunities, Really Business Opportunities!
Fang Peinan was not angry when he heard this, but showed a sarcastic smile: "Oh? Death is on the verge of talking nonsense here? I want to see today which side justice is on! And, taking this opportunity, I also want to compare whether your dagger is faster or my sickle is faster! ”
After speaking, Fang Pei Nanchao took off the back basket, took out the sickle directly, and stood opposite the gangster.
The little thug didn't look very old, and although his face was pretending to be fierce, Fang Pei Nan sensitively caught a trace of fear in his eyes.
"You...... Don't mess around! I warn you, I have a lot of brothers, and they're all near you! If you dare to touch me, you won't survive! ”
Looking at the appearance of the gangsters, how could Fang Peinan not know that he was just bluffing like this. So taking advantage of his distraction, Fang Peinan saw the opportunity and went up and kicked at the gangster's wrist!
"Oops!"
The thug let out a scream like killing a pig in pain, and then the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang". Everyone saw that the little gangster, who had been arrogant just now, was so vulnerable, so they all stepped forward and pressed him to the ground to subdue him.
Then, the two cents that the gangster had stolen from Shui Yao before was also searched out by Fang Peinan and returned to Shui Yao. After that, with the help of several enthusiastic people, the gangsters were sent to the police station.
When the turmoil subsided, the two walked together. After this series of events, Shui Yao had to sigh at the wonder of the fate between people. Every time he was in trouble, Fang Peinan seemed to be able to appear in time. Whether it was the original body of Touhe before, or she was teased by Zhou Guang when she first arrived, plus this time, Fang Peinan not only caught the thief, but also helped herself recover the two cents. In any case, I have to thank him this time.
However, thinking that Fang Peinan suddenly appeared in the county seat this time, Shui Yao still asked directly.
"Brother Pei Nan, did you come to the county seat to do something this time?"
When Fang Peinan heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he replied generously: "Yes, before, the handle under the sickle of the production team was broken, which seriously reduced the efficiency of our team's work. So, this time, our captain asked me to come over and change the handle of the scythe. Unexpectedly, this time it was really used. ”
After speaking, Fang Peinan smiled embarrassedly: "Didn't frighten you just now?" Girls should be safe when they come out. What about Uncle Shui? Didn't I come with you? ”
When Shui Yao heard this, it turned out to be such a reason, so he also smiled: "My dad is still in the mine, he is busy, and now he won't go home on Sunday, so I'll come over and have a look."
Thinking of Pei Nan's help to him these three times, Shui Yao felt that no matter what, he had to at least repay others to see if it was too late, so he said to Pei Nan.
"Brother Pei Nan, thank you for these few times, I don't know if you came out to eat today. If it's convenient for you, can we have a meal together? ”
As soon as Fang Peinan heard it, he understood what Shui Yao meant: although the two were from the same village before, they hadn't met much, and the communication between them was even rarer. If it weren't for the little girl who came back from chopping wood and saw the little girl who fell into the water that day, it is estimated that there would not be these stories behind the two, and the two would not have become friends.
In Fang Peinan's impression, the elders of the same production team always say that Shui Yao Shui Ling is Shui Ling, but people are stubborn after all, and their personalities are not very ingenious. But what he didn't expect was that after coming into contact with Shui Yao, he found that she was not only smart, but also sensible and generous, which made Fang Peinan admire this little girl in his heart.
"No problem, it's almost time to eat, or go and sit down with the workers, peasants and soldiers. But we have to say it in advance, and this meal is also a thank you for the fish you brought some time ago. ”
Seeing that Fang Pei Nan said with a glance, Shui Yao smiled helplessly: "Brother Pei Nan, what do you say by that?" The fish is a gift I thanked you earlier, so don't talk about it anymore. Didn't you save me again? You have to give me a chance to perform, or I won't dare to call you again if I run into you again in the future! ”
Fang Peinan saw that this little girl's stubborn temper came up again, and knew that if she didn't listen to Shui Yao this time, she was afraid that she would really not look for herself again in the future. Thinking of this, Fang Peinan suddenly had an indescribable emotion in his heart, which made him panic for no reason. So, he was no longer polite, and hurriedly nodded and agreed, and went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel with Shui Yao.
"Yo, little girl, are you here again today? This is your brother! What would you like to eat? ”
Shui Yao felt very uncomfortable with this guy's enthusiasm. After all, when he came by himself last time, he saw that this little brother was full of fierce faces to children who had no money to eat, and he didn't like to speak. This time, when he saw her and Fang Peinan coming over, he took it for granted that he fabricated the relationship between the two, which made Shui Yao unhappy in his heart.
However, Shui Yao didn't show it on the surface, and after glancing at Fang Peinan, he asked for two bowls of shredded pork noodles familiarly, and then added two bottles of "Arctic Ocean".
As time passed, the number of people in the hotel increased one after another, because it was Saturday, and many people in the neighborhood took advantage of this short time to have a tooth sacrifice. However, the taste here is really average, and the number of dishes is too small, and the water that eats silently captures the dissatisfaction of the surrounding guests sensitively.
"Alas, this Workers' Peasants' and Soldiers' Hotel is also true. No matter how you say it, it's the best in our county, why can't you even make a bowl of noodles? It's really disappointing every time! ”
"Who's to say it isn't? The stuff here is so expensive and unpalatable! This noodle is not chewy at all, and there are only two shredded meat in a bowl of noodles, and they are embarrassed to ask me for three cents! This is not enough, I still have to spread two taels of food stamps, what is this not a pit person? ”
"But you're still satisfied! No matter how unpalatable this noodle is, it is higher than the craftsmanship of the master in our factory. Although you can see some meat every once in a while, it ...... Alas, it's a pity that there is no other place to sell food outside......"
Shui Yao listened and listened, only to realize that these people were all workers in a nearby printing factory, and they took advantage of this break to come out for a meal. But. The conversation between the few of them made Shui Yao feel more and more that something was wrong: could it be true, as these people said, the food in their printing house was not as delicious as the bowl of noodles of the workers, peasants and soldiers?
If this is the case, then she can take advantage of Saturday and Sunday to buy some ingredients, set up a stall in front of the printing house to sell some boxed lunches, and maybe she can really make a small profit in the period before school starts.
Thinking of this, Shui Yao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't care about eating the noodles, so he hurriedly put the chopsticks aside and opened his mouth to the workers with great interest.
"Uncle, I want to ask, how much do you have to charge for each meal in your factory?"
Shui Yao's question made several workers on the side look at each other when they heard this, and they closed their mouths one after another, and ate one bite after another with their heads in their heads.
These people were full of vigilance against her, which made Shui Yao's heart can't help but feel a trace of remorse: it seems that she was too excited just now, after all, people in this era are very conservative, and such a question is still too private.
Thinking of this, Shui Yao had an idea, took out the remaining packets of potato chips sold in the morning from the back basket and handed them to a few people: "Don't worry, uncles, I don't mean anything else, I just heard you talk about it, and I suddenly asked on a whim, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it." This is what I brought with me today, if you don't dislike it, you can try it. ”
When the workers saw that the little girl in front of them was generous and had no malice at all, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the previous coldness.
"Actually, it's not a secret, although the taste of shredded pork noodles here is average, it is much better than what is in our factory canteen. Usually we have a meal in the factory, the clear soup is low water, and we have to charge three cents for two dishes, although this is the same price as a bowl of shredded pork noodles, but for us, we still prefer to be able to come out to eat......"
The worker's answer made Shui Yao very satisfied: she could almost conclude that if she really sold some food in front of the printing house, her business would definitely not be bad.
However, setting up a stall is still too risky, and a person who has not done a good job of being inspected finds that not only can the business not be done, but people also have to get in. At present, the business affairs must not only be hidden from the family, but also have to find a safe place for the time being, and think about the long term.
Fang Peinan, who had been eating silently, saw that Shui Yao seemed to be in a much better mood since he talked to those workers. Otherwise, why is she just eating a bowl of noodles, but the corners of her mouth are high?
However, Fang Peinan saw through this and didn't say anything. He knew that everyone had their own little secrets, and if Shui Yao really wanted to say it, he would naturally tell him.
After the two came out of the workers, peasants and soldiers, Shui Yao and Fang Peinan went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to change some coarse grains and seasonings, and then took a donkey cart home together.
Because the new week is coming soon, and the small business of selling potato chips at the school gate is facing new challenges, although Shui Yao has absolute confidence in the taste of what he makes, but in the face of Li Xuemei, who wants to drive himself away, is full of crooked eyes, and is maliciously competing with himself, Shui Yao still has a spirit of 120,000 points and does not dare to take this competition lightly, so as soon as he enters the door, Shui Yao washes and refines the lard he bought non-stop.
Because Shui Yao knew very well in his heart that his competitor was definitely not only Li Xuemei. For now, she not only has to continue to grow the business of small potatoes, but also has to figure out a proper way to make herself able to smoothly follow the convenience of Saturday and Sunday, and use the lunch business to open the market in the county.
