Chapter 128: A Grateful Man

After Director Zhao and the others left, the boss said: "Wife, there are no guests now, get twenty pieces of stinky tofu, and take two bottles of beer, I'll have some drinks with this benefactor and have a good chat." ”

The woman brought two beers and went to get the stinky tofu.

The boss said, "Gee, finally time to sit down with you." I don't even know what your last name is? What do you call it? ”

I said, "My surname is Da, a big character, and I am on a boat at the bottom." ”

He said, "I know, Da Shichang's Da Zi." ”

I said, "I don't know, that Da Shichang?" ”

He said: "The older generation of movie stars, Da Shichang. ”

I said, "Actually, I don't know your name." ”

He said: "My surname is Cao, Cao Cao's Cao." ”

I said, "Then I'll call you Brother Cao from now on." ”

He said, "It's okay to call me Brother Cao, I'm definitely older than you." But you don't want to be you all the time, I'm just a stinky tofu seller, I can't stand such an honorific title. ”

I said, "Brother Cao, I didn't expect you to really do it, and you really became notorious!" ”

He said, "How could I have come up with these ideas without your guidance?" I've been pondering your words since you left that day, and I feel more and more reasonable. I'd love for you to come back and give me specific advice, but I just don't see you. Later, I thought, I can't rely on people for everything, they give me ideas, and I have to rely on myself for the rest. One night at eight o'clock, a female college student came looking for a part-time job and asked me if I wanted a part-time worker. I said no, small shops and small businesses can't afford to hire people. She said, I don't want you to pay your salary, and I can help you do business......"

The woman brought up the stinky tofu.

We ate and drank beer and chatted.

Brother Cao said: "The female college student said that she was admitted from the countryside, and her family was poor, so she could only find part-time jobs to earn money to support herself. She said that she can help me distribute leaflets and deliver food to people's homes, and only need a commission of five cents for each piece of stinky tofu. When I think about it, she said the same thing you said to me before. And each piece of stinky tofu is only sold for five cents, which is a trivial matter. I promised her to try it. I also told her about your infamous things, and she found it very creative and supported me in doing it! I did it. I didn't expect that! ”

The woman sitting next to him answered: "He called home and said that there was a master who pointed out that the business had doubled, and he couldn't keep it busy, and asked me to leave the child in the care of my grandparents and asked me to come over to help with the business." No, I'm coming. I came to see it, it's really good, I'm busy every day, and I don't have any free time. Fortunately, there is a lot more money than before. This master is you, brother, thank you so much! ”

I said, "Thank you no, I just have an extra mouthful." ”

The woman said, "If you have more mouths, our business will be better, and if you have more mouthfuls in the future, then we will make a fortune!" You are the lucky star of our family, the god of wealth! Come, I'll pour you wine. As he spoke, he filled my cup.

At this moment, a girl who was about 20 years old walked in.

Brother Cao said: "It's this female college student who is helping me." ”

The girl said, "It's not me who helps you, it's you who give me the opportunity to exercise and earn money." As he spoke, he neatly put a few lists on the table and said, "I sold a total of 268 pieces of stinky tofu here today, each for five cents, and you give me the bill, a total of thirteen yuan and four cents." ”

The woman took the order, took the computer and went to settle the accounts.

Brother Cao said: "Can people be wrong if they are college students? Hurry up and give the money, people have to hurry back to rest, and they have to go to class tomorrow. ”

I asked the girl, "Do you think it's worth it for you to go to class every day and earn so much money in your spare time?" ”

The girl said: "Don't delay your studies, you can still earn three or four hundred a month, enough for living expenses, it's worth it!" ”

As she spoke, the girl took the money from the proprietress and said, "Thank you, boss!" Thank you owner! I have to run to catch the last train! ”

The girl went out and disappeared at the end of the alley as she ran like a smoke.

Brother Cao said: "This child is not easy, she earns ten yuan and eight yuan a day, and it costs two yuan to take the bus, if she can't catch the last bus, then she has to walk back, and it takes more than an hour on the road."

Brother Cao's words reminded me of the persecution of walking to work when I first came to Nanyue because I couldn't afford to take a taxi, and I felt empathy for this female college student's situation, and I couldn't wait for the opportunity to help her.

Brother Cao said: "Brother Da, since you call me Brother Cao, what about my wife, you can call her sister-in-law in the future." As he spoke, he gave the woman next to him a look, and stretched out a hand, his fingers spread.

Brother Cao continued: "My business was not good before, at most seven or eight hundred yuan a day, but now, it is close to two thousand. I have to thank you! I have been waiting for you to come, but I have not seen your shadow. I'm here today, I have to thank you so much, come, drink a little more! ”

I raised my glass and touched him.

The woman came over and handed me a red envelope.

I said, "Sister-in-law, what does this mean?" ”

The proprietress said: "This is a little bit of your brother Cao's heart, but also a little bit of my heart, and a little bit of our heart." ”

I pushed her hand away and said, "This can't be done, this can't be helped!" Don't do it! ”

Brother Cao said: "Brother Da, don't be too little too little for five hundred yuan!" ”

I said, "It's not a question of how much, it's something I don't deserve." I'll just have a few more words, the key is that you have a good understanding and have the courage to do it. It has nothing to do with me. ”

The proprietress stuffed the red envelope to me again, and I pushed it back again.

Brother Cao said: "Brother Da, you accept the red envelope first, I still have something to ask you here." ”

I said, "If you have something, just say it, and I will help if you can." ”

Brother Cao said: "If you don't accept this red envelope, I'm embarrassed to speak again!" ”

I said, "You say first, if I can still help you and really be useful to you, then I will accept this red envelope again, so that you can do it." ”

When Brother Cao saw that I was resolute, he said, "That's fine." Here, have another drink. ”

Another glass of beer.

Brother Cao said: "That's what I think, what about you, can you cooperate with me?" Let's join forces to make this stinky tofu business bigger and make our stinky tofu even more notorious! ”

I asked him, "What do you want a cooperative method?" ”

He said: "I haven't thought of a specific way to cooperate, I just have this idea." We can talk about it together. ”

I said, "How can I help you?" It doesn't seem to be helping you much. ”

He said, "If you take this red envelope now, you can help me." ”

I said, "Well, how can this help you?" ”

He said, "I don't want to be a person without gratitude, I want to be a person with a grateful heart." If you take it, you just help me but you have a wish! ”

I said, "No, I can't help with that!" It's getting late, I have to go back quickly, I have to go to work tomorrow. ”

After saying that, I stood up and left quickly, not giving them another chance to stuff the red envelope into me.
