Chapter 19 There is no one, I choose five hundred
"No problem, you don't have to be nervous, this phone call is just on my own behalf." Xu Changwei's gentle voice greatly comforted Wen Yan.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"I accidentally saw the Chinese test paper for your correspondence class today......" Xu Changwei smiled and said clearly: "I saw a quote in it, it is from "The House of Nobles"? ”
Wen Yan snorted: "If you're talking about the composition part, that's probably ......"
"Although many translations are often similar, this version of yours has never been seen before, and it is more in line with the romantic ...... of the Chinese people than many of the versions I have read before."
Xu Changwei asked in a gentle voice: "Can you tell me, where did you see it?" ”
"Yes......"
Wen Yan was silent for a moment: "I translated it myself." ”
She pursed her lips slightly: "I was a little emotional at the time, and I happened to think of the plot in "The House of the Nobles", and I felt that there were some corresponding topics, so I used my own understanding of the original part......"
Xu Changwei seemed to be a little surprised, and he didn't speak for a while.
"I haven't read much of the other translations...... Wen Yan hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Plus this book has been translated into English more before, I don't understand English." ”
"You don't know English?" Xu Chang asked in a slightly surprised way.
Wen Yan snorted and confessed: "I have never gone to a regular school, nor have I studied English......"
"But I see that you are applying for an English major, although it is a correspondence course, there are still some requirements for English scores, you can pass the line, and you don't think you don't understand it at all." Xu Chang did not state the facts.
Wen Yan said honestly: "Before the exam, I temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet and bet on a few questions, so I was lucky." ”
"You girl is quite modest...... Xu Changwei laughed loudly, and then said, "Do you have time recently?" School is about to have winter break, and now is the time for their exams, so if you want to, you might as well come and do me a favor. ”
"Help, help?" Wen Yan really couldn't think of anything she could do to help the other party.
And......
Who the hell is he?
"I happen to have some manuscripts here that need to be translated, you can come here to practice your hands, and by the way, you can earn some pocket money."
Xu Changwei said: "If there is no accident, I will probably teach you the English of this correspondence class." If you wish, I am also teaching in the Russian department, and I can get you a certificate of attendance......"
It turned out to be a future teacher.
I have heard that when I was a student, I could also work for my boss, and I could earn a little extra money while signing my name, but it seems that liberal arts majors can not earn much......
I didn't expect this to happen to her, I really shouldn't have it.
"I'm afraid I can't do it......" Although Wen Yan was moved, he still planned to refuse.
Xu Changwei asked: "You don't want to do it?" ”
"Of course not!" Where would Wen Yan be willing to leave an impression that she was not motivated, she said: "I'm worried that I will make a mess and be beaten out when the time comes." That's a playful remark.
Xu Changwei smiled: "That's willing, I don't have a class break tomorrow, let's see you the day after tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he seemed to remember that Wen Yan was probably not familiar with Jingcheng University, so he said: "Call me when you come over, I'll pick you up, or inquire about the next teaching building, I'm usually on the first floor." ”
Wen Yan hesitated for a few seconds, but finally agreed.
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
Hanging up the phone, Wen Yan couldn't help but think.
She will definitely not do the business of roadside stalls, and it is difficult for her body to eat......
Sister Li is probably more willing to directly pay 2,000 yuan to buy out the technology, even if she needs to take some risks, but in the end, how hot her business is these days is really in her eyes.
It only takes a little bit of courage to not miss the opportunity......
Even if you have a heart, take the raw materials she left behind, and go to various markets to find and inquire.
As long as you can buy flake cold noodles, baking cold noodles is not a technical job.
Wen Yan has always felt that cooking is such a thing as having hands.
It's good to be a translator, but before you have a degree, you can only take on some scattered private work......
Freelancing is almost the same at any time, with free time and free income.
When you make a lot of money, you are naturally happy.
When you earn little or no money, you don't even have the ability to resist risks......
It might be better to have savings.
As she did in this life, she had always planned it and saved some savings in advance......
If you are like in your previous life, you have no money in hand, and you can only think about everything.
How difficult it is to make money, even if there are many opportunities in front of you, ordinary people have no money to turnover, and they can't catch the white wolf!
Come over again, say that she is a philistine, or reality...... After all, nowadays, nothing is more important to her than money.
I want to say "I don't care about money" and "Money is just a number for me"...... You have to wait until you have assets in your account that you will spend a lifetime on.
Therefore, business needs to be done, and stable jobs must also be available.
You can't put all your eggs in one basket.
There is never too much reason to make money.
Sister Li's call came that night.
Wen Yan was about to rest.
"Yan, I discussed the matter you said today, I discussed it with my mother's brother, and he is willing to do it, do you think we should meet sooner rather than later, sort things out, and settle it completely?" Sister Li's voice couldn't hide her joy.
Probably tonight, there are a lot of people who inquire and want to buy a grilled cold noodle to eat.
I don't know how uncomfortable it will be for Sister Li to watch the scene of customers coming, but she can't get started with it, and she can't reach a deal.
Wen Yan thought with some bad taste, and promised quickly: "Then I'll have breakfast tomorrow morning......
"Eh, you can come early! We have a xiaolongbao shop here, and it tastes good! Usually only open for two hours, six to eight o'clock in the morning, a little later can not be bought, you come early, sister please eat their house! Sister Li said quickly.
Wen Yan smiled faintly, and snorted as a response: "Then contact tomorrow morning." ”
The next day was not a good day, and the fog was terrible early in the morning.
When I went out, there were already raindrops, and the drizzle was continuous, and it was a little painless to fall on people.
Wen Yan waited for the bus to get on the bus before dialing the phone.
Sister Li quickly connected, and after a glance at her voice, she still couldn't hide her excitement: "Yan, have you come over?" ”
"Just got in the car, and I'll be there in about twenty minutes."
"Eh! That's great! Sister Li said excitedly: "I'll go and give you some xiaolongbao!" ”
It's as if she really just wanted her to taste that xiaolongbao......
Wen Yan smiled, and just hummed faintly on the phone.
When she arrived at the place, Sister Li was very enthusiastic and dragged her to eat steamed buns.
I have to say, this bun is really delicious.
No matter how many steamed bun shops are opened around, they will definitely be squeezed yellow...... It's no wonder that people are only open for two hours a day, and they can still make a lot of money, without worrying about losing customers.
People have this confidence.
"Doesn't it taste good?" Sister Li asked actively on the side, as if she was not here to discuss business with her today, but to sell xiaolongbao.
Wen Yan laughed and laughed, and asked the boss for two more cages to pack and take away, and then followed Sister Li back to the fruit stall, where her younger brother was already waiting.
"I don't agree with what my sister said, it's too expensive to buy out two thousand, and if it's one thousand, I can still consider it." As soon as he saw her, Sister Li's maiden brother couldn't wait to speak out.
Wen Yan turned his head and glanced at the person with a strange expression, as if he was thinking about how many of these two people might want to coax her to lower the price.
She smiled: "That's not to talk about." ”
It's as if he doesn't care if this thing can be sold.
"Shut up!" Sister Li scolded her younger brother, glared at the person fiercely, and then wanted to laugh, and said to Wen Yan: "Yan, don't listen to his nonsense, two thousand is two thousand!" Let's make a note, and I'll go to the bank with you to transfer money. ”
In 02, 2,000 yuan was not a lot of money, but it was a lot.
"What's two thousand, what if you lose it? Why don't you think my brother-in-law doesn't give our family enough eyes...... 1000 yuan, success, failure,"
His voice was a little frozen, as if he was choking and choking out of breath: "If it doesn't work, I'll pay you five hundred yuan a day!" ”
After speaking, he couldn't stop muttering: "Isn't it just working for nothing?" It's not less than ......."
"You scumbag!" Sister Li wanted to scold her younger brother a few words, but she still thought of something and didn't say anything.
There was no sound on the side, Si Swenwen, her hair was combed properly, and her clothes were straight, and even the folds of her clothes were unsightly, and her husband said like a fair and good person: "If he has an idea, you just listen to him, and if you can save money and effort, you can't please it, and you complain and provoke a commotion." ”
He said: "What's more, I think it's good to pay 500 a day, we don't have to take risks, the cost is all delayed, Zhuang'er only needs to follow the study itself, get up early and go out of the stall in the dark, say it's a white job, but don't you say it yourself?" You can earn more than 500 yuan a day, then there is still leftover! ”
Sister Li's husband seemed to think that such a thing was not very good to say it in front of Wen Yan, and smiled at people with a little restraint and embarrassment, and then began to persuade his wife: "Don't you see those who run taxis like this?" How many people bought their own cars to run? Aren't they all part-time jobs for taxi companies or individuals? ”
He said: "The fuel money is paid by the car owner, you only need to give the car owner a fixed amount of 2300 money every day, and the rest of the money you can run is your own, isn't this the same reason?" We don't have to take risks, he's happy to do it himself, isn't it the best of both worlds......"
"Pure! Which taxi is you saying so! Sister Li scolded her husband angrily, but her attitude also loosened.
She looked at her brother, "You've got it figured!" This is not a day or two for nothing, in case it catches up with a cloudy day and rains, you can't earn the 500 yuan, you have to make up for it yourself! Not to mention, this thing doesn't necessarily sell like this forever! ”
In front of Wen Yan, she inevitably hesitated when she said this, but she really didn't expect that she had already discussed it yesterday, and now not only did her husband change his tone, but her younger brother also stirred up......
Alas!
She sighed, a little helpless: "Your sister and I have been selling fruits here for seven or eight years!" Since the beginning of the opening of self-employment in the 80s, I have seen I don't know how many people sell this food and that food...... Not many last! ”
Who eats something all the time without getting tired?
What a good thing, it won't be fragrant if you get tired of eating!
"Sister, you just listen to my brother-in-law, and listen to me!" Sister Li's younger brother became more resolute, looked at Wen Yan and said: "I'll give you half a year of work, pay you 500 yuan a day, if you don't earn enough, I'll make up for it myself!" But the cost of raw materials or something, you have to give me enough ......"
He said, "If you think it's successful, let's sign a note!" ”
The note is an old folk saying, most of which are buyers and sellers tearing up a piece of paper and writing each other's requirements on it...... If it was more formal, there might be a middleman.
Wen Yan didn't insist on making a serious contract, so he wrote down some requirements clearly according to the way of the folk document, and asked Sister Li's younger brother to sign and press his fingerprint.
Li Li......
Wen Yan glanced at the name on the note, as well as the number on the ID card, and found that this person was actually a year younger than her.
She glanced at Sister Li again......
Sister Li's oldest child is eighteen.
There is too much age difference between the two sisters and brothers.
She didn't have much gossip in mind, and after she put the notes away, she didn't delay much, took the snack cart and ingredients, went to Sister Li's rental house nearby, and taught Li Li to make baked cold noodles over and over again.
"In addition to grilled sausages and eggs, you can also add some tenderloin, bone and meat, crab sticks, etc." Wen Yan said.
Li Li was stunned: "Can you add these old things?" ”
"Of course."
Thinking of the ...... of spicy strips in later generations Wen Yan smiled and shook his head: "As long as you dare to think and dare to do it, you can add stinky tofu!" ”
"That thing doesn't work, I smell it myself......" Li Li looked very disgusted, but he couldn't help but think about the possibility of this combination.
