Chapter 12 Business Opportunities
On the weekend, Cheng Enni was not in a hurry to go back, her biological clock was very punctual, and she woke up at half past five.
After washing, I went to the playground for two laps as usual, reciting English texts while running, and then went back to the dormitory to pack up my things after the workout.
After leaving the school gate, the first thing Cheng Enni did was not to go home, but to go to the steamed bun shop in the vegetable market not far from the school to buy two steamed buns, and then turned back to the school after eating.
The 80s was the time when the motherland's economy began to take off, but this take-off had nothing to do with their 38th-line closed small county for the time being.
Now there is not even a decent stationery store outside the school, and everyone mainly goes to the former site of the county supply and marketing cooperative, which was contracted out in the past two years, and the goods are much more complete than the southern grocery store.
I walked around outside the school and asked everywhere, but there were a few houses that were rented out, but only rented parents and children to live together, like Cheng Enni, few of them had the patience to meet her.
The rent is not expensive, eight yuan a month, which is within Cheng Enni's affordability.
At the beginning, Cheng Enni really didn't plan to earn money during school, the tuition and living expenses, and the winter and summer vacations were enough, but since the business opportunity was discovered, it was a pity not to grasp it.
Cheng Enni's newly discovered business opportunities are also related to the school, living in the school for so long, Cheng Enni has not eaten a good meal in the cafeteria, the taste is unsatisfactory, and the nutrition is not balanced.
I don't know if the school is doing it, or if it has been contracted out, anyway, there are only two dishes a day, a pot with no oil flowers, a little meat foam, or fried vegetables with oil residue.
Plus a bucket of soup, today it's dried vegetable rice tofu soup, tomorrow it may be dried vegetable white tofu soup.
The two cooking windows, the dishes are exactly the same, cheap is cheap, eat once in a while, it can be said that it is bittersweet and sweet, but after eating it for a long time, Cheng Enni can't stand it.
Day students can also bring food from home, and after the second class, they will be heated together while the canteen is steaming rice, so the boarding students have no choice, at most they occasionally exchange some food with the day students.
In her previous life, Cheng Enni had always lived at home, making her own vegetables every morning, but most of them were all kinds of jar dishes sent by Cheng's grandmother from the countryside.
I didn't know until I really ate it, it was really unpalatable.
Cheng Enni is eyeing the next meal, if she can make some braised vegetables to sell at the school gate, such as braised shredded potatoes and braised cabbage, and make a box lunch at noon, the business will definitely be bad.
Boarding students can't go out of the school gate, but they can ask day students to bring it, such as delivering a boxed lunch at noon, or they can pass it in through the big iron gate of the school, which is really not good, and the school wall is not high.
Day students are also a market, generally day students are locals in the county, at least one of the parents in the family is a worker, the economy is relatively well-off, and not every family can cook for their children early.
Now the weather is getting cooler, and there are many vegetables, but when the weather is hot, the vegetables are easy to spoil, and it is more advantageous to bring braised vegetables in the morning.
The price is cheap and delicious, and the business will definitely not be bad.
If she is not tired, Cheng Enni can do it alone, anyway, the school lights out on time at half past nine, and she will not be able to study after that, if she lives outside the school, she can prepare the materials between half past nine and half to half past eleven.
If you wake up a little earlier in the morning, you can get everything at your best, and if you are really busy, you can ask an aunt to help you.
But the first condition for all this is that Cheng Enni has to rent a suitable house outside the school.
Cheng Enni walked a long way, all those who had a house for rent were unwilling to rent it to her as a student, and some of them were so worn out by her that they waved their hands and said that they would let their parents sign the contract and pay the money in person before they were willing to rent.
It's just that Cheng Enni doesn't lack anything now, the only thing she lacks is her parents.
There are people who are willing to rent it to her in a place far from the school, but it is too far away to do business, and it is easy to miss the flow of people in the morning rush hour.
And she had to enter the classroom five minutes before self-study, and she lived far away, so she couldn't catch up with the time.
Instead, you can find someone to pretend to be a parent.
However, Ennie quickly shook her head, unless this matter could be concealed from death, it was better not to think about it.
Cheng Zhiqiang is too machismo, if he knows that she is looking for someone else to pretend to be a father, and she has the audacity to not go to school to do business, Cheng Enni will die.
Maybe if Lin Xiuhe doesn't need to make a move in this life, Cheng Enni won't be able to go to school, so Cheng Enni doesn't plan to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Auntie, thank you, I'll go home and discuss with my dad and come back to you." Cheng Enni politely thanked the person before turning around and walking towards the passenger station.
The school is not far from the bus station, about a 10-minute walk.
At home, Lin Xiuhe had already prepared a large table of dishes, opened the door, and waited for Cheng Enni to come back to eat.
"It's half past eleven, why hasn't Ennie come back yet? It's waiting for her to cook the last greens. Lin Xiuhe looked around the door a few times, and stretched his neck to look.
He Daya has changed her name to Cheng Huan, and she is sitting in Cheng Enni's original room doing her homework.
This room does not belong to He Daya, she is now on weekends off, and she still lives at her grandmother's house at night, but during the day she will carry a schoolbag to Cheng's house to do her homework.
Although Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng had gone back to the countryside early, Grandma Cheng spoke when they went back, saying that this room was reserved for her grandchildren and her, and no one could occupy it.
Lin Xiuhe was actually quite unhappy in her heart, feeling that Grandma Cheng's hand was too long.
But as soon as Grandma Cheng said that she would take care of the confinement in the future, Lin Xiuhe couldn't say anything against it, what was the eldest girl she gave birth to...... Cheng Huan didn't sit well in confinement, and he was still counting on making up for it this time.
Cheng Zhiqiang looked at Cheng Huan, who was concentrating on his homework in the house, and then looked at Cheng Enni, who had not seen anyone for a long time, and the comparison was a belly of anger, "Don't worry about her, you just take care of the stir-frying, let's eat it directly." ”
"How's that going to work!" Lin Xiuhe glared at Cheng Zhiqiang and continued to stretch his neck to look.
A colleague from the noon shift came back, passed by the door of Cheng's house, and poked his head in, "What is my sister-in-law looking at?" Guests at home, cooking so many dishes? ”
Really sleepy to send a pillow, Lin Xiuhe gently pinned the broken hair behind her ear, and chuckled, "Look at when our family Ennie will be home, it is rare for the child to go home on the weekend, make a few more dishes for the child to replenish his body." ”
"Brother Cheng, sister-in-law is really virtuous!" The words are so good, and the food on the table is also real, so people naturally want to praise it.
Cheng Zhiqiang listened, his face was very face-saving, and he greeted, "Our brothers haven't sat down to eat together for a long time, sit down and drink two glasses, you're welcome." ”
As soon as his voice fell, Lin Xiuhe invited someone to come in, went into the house to find wine and wine glasses, and put them on the table after a while.
