Chapter 5 Opening a Store
It's easy to wait until the bus stops at a big stop, and there are a lot of people going down, and the carriage is not as crowded as just now, the girl sighed, moved her body back, moved her hands that were almost numb, and sighed secretly, Shanghai's buses are really not for people.
Seeing that the passenger in front of the boy had just gotten out of the car, he immediately went up and sat down, and felt much more comfortable.
The bus stopped two more stops, and there were two more stops on the road to the terminal Xujiahui, the girl thought twice, just now the boy wiped his sweat for himself, how should he thank him? Or? Treat him to a meal?
But it's really embarrassing to ask a girl to take the initiative to invite a boy to dinner.
Summoning up her courage, the girl turned her head and just wanted to speak, but found that the person sitting behind her was no longer the boy just now, but a middle-aged woman, and the boy no longer knew when to get out of the car.
The girl's heart couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment, and she thought to her chagrin, "Why didn't you invite him earlier?" ”

Xiao Yu stood at the door of a bazaar, looking at his surroundings.
This is a large-scale bazaar, located at the junction of Minhang District and Xuhui District, belonging to the suburban junction, a large number of migrant workers and suburban county population influx, gathered here into a lively area, forming a unique landscape of the big city.
On both sides of the street are all kinds of small shops, snack bars, trinket shops, video stores, foot washing rooms, small pharmacies, and even Chengren supplies stores, eating, drinking, and having fun.
Xiaoyu walked back and forth along the street at the entrance of the bazaar three times, and found two small shops with shop rental signs, and when he went in, the price was ridiculously expensive, he needed a thousand yuan of rent every month, and he had to pay half a year in advance.
He did not lose heart, came to the gate of the bazaar again, and walked straight into the bazaar.
It's 10 a.m., and the bazaar is bustling with noisy vendors and bustling grocery shopping.
Xiao Yu walked and strolled, unconsciously came to the innermost corner of the market, his eyes couldn't help but light up, there are also seven or eight snack bars here, selling fried steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk and other breakfast.
The conditions here are not as good as the snack bars on the street outside, and the popularity is much worse, except for customers who come to buy groceries, pedestrians outside rarely come inside to buy breakfast.
Walking along these snack bars, Xiao Yu stood at the door of a noodle shop, and at the door of this shop, a simple sign made of waste cardboard was erected, on which were written the four big words 'store transfer'.
Xiao Yu was happy in his heart, first looked at this store, this is a simple shop built by the bazaar, from the outside, there is only the size of a door, not big, it is the top of the bazaar, one side leans against the big wall of the bazaar, and on the other side leans on a bun shop. Geographically, it's not good.
Xiao Yu quietly walked into the store, this is a shop of about ten square meters, by the door there is a boiling water under the cauldron, on the right hand side is a large table for kneading dough, and a gas stove, on the left hand side are three small tables for guests to eat, on the table are placed chopstick holders and spices such as chili oil and vinegar.
To Xiaoyu's surprise, there was not a single guest inside.
"Young man, what kind of noodles do you eat?" The owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, with messy hair and stubble on his chin.
"Let's have a bowl of hot sauce noodles! Three-two. Xiao Yu sat down at a table and gently wiped it on the table with his hand, feeling very greasy, and it was estimated that he hadn't carefully wiped it for a long time.
"Good! You're waiting! The boss agreed, turned and walked out the door.
Xiao Yu felt strange, I was eating noodles at your place, why did you run out? What happened after that made Xiao Yu dumbfounded.
"Fourth! Bring me three taels of noodles! The boss ran out the door and shouted loudly to the other side.
Opposite the noodle shop happened to be a stall selling dried noodles, and when I heard the boss's shout, a guy immediately weighed three taels of dried noodles and handed them to the boss.
Seeing the boss humming a small tune and putting the noodles into the noodle pot, Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, don't you run your own noodle shop?" How do you still buy other people's somen noodles? ”
The boss smiled and said, "Young man, you said that time is money now, isn't this to save you time?" It's too time-consuming to ramen yourself, but it's still so convenient, you see, it's alive! ”
The boss took out the noodles, put them into a big bowl, and then turned out a plastic box out of nowhere, scooped a spoonful of black hot sauce in it, poured it on top of the noodles, and served the bowl of noodles in front of Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yu was speechless, can the noodles pressed by the machine be compared to the noodles he pulled? Not only does this noodle not have a special soup, but looking at the hot sauce on the noodles, it is black and sticky, and it looks like there is no appetite.
"Inferior hot sauce noodles, can be eaten, every 100 grams of consumption reduces hunger and thirst by 5%, continues to restore health by 5%, there is a 1% risk of food poisoning, use with caution."
Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of him, Xiao Yu almost had the urge to vomit. No wonder the business of this shop is so bad, whoever eats this bowl of noodles will not come back a second time. However, this also gave Xiao Yu confidence that if he let himself open this shop, with the skills he learned from Master Guo, he would definitely be better than him.
Xiao Yu picked up the chopsticks, plucked up his courage three times, but still didn't dare to try, put the chopsticks lightly on the table again, and said to the boss, "Boss, do you want to transfer the store?" ”
The boss was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this young man was not drunk, and he was not here to eat noodles.
The boss looked Xiao Yu up and down, a little shabby, judging from the clothes of this young man, he didn't look like a rich man, and he still wanted to take over his own shop?
But after thinking about it, I have been hanging out the signs of the store for more than a month, and no one cares, and now that the opportunity has come, I don't want to miss it.
It is also the location of their own store is very poor, close to the innermost part of the bazaar, until the store is opened, the customers who buy vegetables are mostly old ladies, they will quarrel with the hawker for half an hour for a few cents, so they are reluctant to spend four yuan to eat a bowl of noodles here.
The noodle shop has been open for three months, and it is losing money every month, if it hadn't signed a one-year contract with the bazaar, and he couldn't bear the deposit of those two months' rent, he would have left a long time ago.
"Young man, do you want to take over this shop?" The boss sat down opposite Xiao Yu and asked a little nonchalantly.
Xiao Yu nodded, "I don't know how much money it costs?" ”
When it comes to money, the boss's eyes began to glow, he glanced at Xiao Yu, calculated it in his heart, quickly drew up a price in his mind, and said, "This house is a bazaar, the rent is five hundred per month, and I paid two months' rent in advance as a deposit, a total of one thousand, which has to be given to me." ”
"In addition, look at the pots and pans, tables and chairs in this store, and there is a bed in the cubicle at the back, I will count you a total of five hundred yuan! So a total of 1,500 dollars, how about it? ”
Xiao Yu frowned when he heard this, 1,500 yuan is his entire net worth, if he gives it all to the boss, he doesn't even have the first turnover of funds, and then look at the boss's things, they are all shabby old furniture, the only valuable thing is probably the cauldron, but it's not worth so much money!
He couldn't help but look up into the boss's eyes.
A golden light suddenly crossed Xiao Yu's eyes, the boss was startled, looked carefully at Xiao Yu's eyes, but found nothing, the boss scolded secretly, thinking that he was dazzled.
"Subject-Pastry Boss, Elementary Mind Reading Result: Lying, the total price of various items in the store is less than 300 yuan."
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "Boss, I'm sorry, I don't have that much money." ”
After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
The boss was in a hurry, and reached out to grab Xiao Yu's arm, "Young man, it's easy to discuss, don't be in a hurry to leave!" Okay, I'll make you cheaper, a total of 1,400 yuan, how about it? ”
Xiao Yu shook his head, still maintaining the posture of walking out.
The boss stood up and hugged Xiao Yu, "One thousand two hundred and fifty yuan!" The lowest price! Otherwise, I'll lose money! ”
"Deal!" Xiao Yu smiled and turned around and stretched out his right hand to the boss.
happily paid 1,250 yuan to the boss, but the boss did things simply, closed the store, took Xiaoyu to go through the transfer procedures, and went to the market management office to go through the procedures for the transfer of the rent.
These procedures cost Xiaoyu a total of 50 yuan.
After completing all the formalities, the boss rolled up the cover rolls, carried Xiaoyu's money, and left happily.
Looking at the only two hundred yuan left in his pocket, Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, the money he earned after working hard for more than two months was almost spent in one day.
However, there are also things that make Xiaoyu happy, from now on, the owner of this small noodle shop is Xiaoyu.
There is a small cubicle in the noodle shop, only enough to fit a single bed and a desk, which is where Xiao Yu will sleep in the future.
After taking over the boss's storefront, Xiaoyu immediately started cleaning. He poured out all the messy toppings of the boss that had been put on for an unknown amount of time, and cleaned the cauldron underneath.
I bought a bucket of disinfectant and detergent from the bazaar for ten yuan, brushed the tables, chairs and boards with a brush, and carefully swept the floor with a broom.
Fortunately, the bazaar was built not long ago, and the walls were clean and did not need to be repainted.
After cleaning, Xiao Yu made a list, which was all the raw materials needed to make hot sauce noodles, according to this list, Xiao Yu turned around the entire bazaar, all the purchases were ready, at this time, there were only ten yuan left in his pocket.
After everything was done, Xiao Yu took out a big piece of red paper he had just bought, cut it into long strips, and wrote on it the words 'Xiao Yu Hot Sauce Noodle Shop', and pasted it on the boss's old signboard.
There are no firecrackers, no flower baskets, and Xiaoyu's hot sauce noodle shop is open in the cold.
