Chapter 13 Stabilizing Business
After a night of confusion, life has to go on, just like the turning millstone, repeating itself. But although life is ordinary, can't you have some dreams?
Wang Fatzi has been deliberately avoiding me recently, I'm afraid that because my errand has not been settled, he is still a little embarrassed. Hmph, deserve it, who let him blow the cowhide into the sky in front of my mother.
I set up my stall and waited for the customers to come. Wang Jiajia originally wanted to come with me today, but I didn't let her, I don't think I should be too close to her, so as not to make her have illusions again. I really shouldn't have bought her those earrings yesterday, even though she seemed to like them very much, although I think she owed her something by helping me carry the bucket and selling tofu to me......
She was dressed up again this morning, and she was wearing her newly bought earrings and asked me if I looked good, was this a deliberate attempt to seduce me?
No, Wang Jiajia, you really don't want to waste any more time on me, you are not the woman my heart desires. The woman I like Li Jianghu should be......
I thought about it, a little confused, I just felt that the white figure was so ethereal that it was impossible to reach.
"Brother Jianghu, bring me a bowl of bean curd." A bowl reached out.
"Second Brother Song!" I was shocked: "I haven't seen you in a few days." ”
"Oh, isn't the county order building a bridge, and I've been working for a few days."
I took the bowl and filled it: "I see, Mrs. Mu asked about you yesterday." ”
"Mrs. Mu?" Song Erlang's face was full of incredulity: "She...... Does she remember me? ”
I snickered, "Second brother can't have done something to impress her, right?" ”
Song Erlang looked left and right, saw that no one cared, and said in a low voice: "I saw her once five days ago, hey, miscalculated, somehow, the clear soup noodles in her store began to put salt, you don't know, but it killed me."
I wanted to pour some tea and eat it, but that day Mrs. Mu happened to come, sat down opposite me, said that I was a frequent customer in the store, and talked with me for a long time, so I was embarrassed to pour water and wash my face. As a result, he gave birth to thirty yuan and left the noodles. ”
I sneered: "I think that Mu Niangzi is quite shrewd, wouldn't she know about you secretly adding salt to the noodles?" ”
"Eighty percent knows, otherwise I wouldn't have deliberately done this, anyway, I wouldn't dare to go to her shop to eat noodles in the future."
"Scared?"
"Isn't it?" Song Erlang's dark face suddenly became nervous: "When I left the inn, I asked other diners, their noodles were still light, why was my noodles salted?" Fortunately, I honestly paid 30 yuan, otherwise I would have to go to prison for the next few days. ”
"Is it really that powerful?"
"That's it. Do you know who Mu Niangzi is? Song Erlang became mysterious, and when he saw that I was silent, he explained to himself: "She is the younger sister of County Lieutenant Mu, her own sister." ”
"Who is Captain Mu? Isn't the county lieutenant of our Xiangzhou City and County Ya surnamed Xiao? I was stunned again.
"Mu County Lieutenant is the county lieutenant of Yiling County, Xiazhou. It is said that when Qin Cha came to Xiangzhou City this time, he only brought him from Yiling, and now he has handed over the Tianyan team to him for training, and even Long Yuhan, the leader of the Tianyan team, has to listen to his orders. ”
I suddenly realized: "I see, I used to just hear the second brother say that the owner of the Jianghu Inn and the Qincha relationship was not ordinary, I thought they were ...... Hehe, I didn't expect it to be because Mu Niangzi's brother was a big celebrity around Qincha. ”
"I just found out when I was working in the past few days. Hehe, in this Xiangzhou city, if you want to live a stable life, you must first live and understand. Song Erlang took out two pennies.
"No, no need, count me on you." I excused myself, since I said it was a friend, how could I ask for his money.
"Take it, my brother still has to settle the account." Song Erlang stuffed the money into my hand: "You're busy, I'll leave first, and I'll invite you to eat and drink when I finish my salary." ”
I watched his back go away, and my heart warmed, no matter what, this friend is not bad.
"Jianghu, you're really good, this product sells very fast." Aunt Chen praised.
"Hehe, it's okay." I looked at the box and was almost empty, and I was a little proud.
"Bring me a piece of tofu." A woman called out in a coquettish voice.
"I want a piece too, hehe, it's really good. Did you make this tofu? The woman who was traveling with me also said, her eyes looking at me.
"Yes, I just did it this morning." I quickly wrapped the tofu for them, and suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at their colorful eyes, is it because I am handsome that I came to buy my tofu, so that I could have a few words with me?
Ahem, I didn't expect people to be good-looking and have this effect, most of the people who come out to buy vegetables are women, if it's because of this reason, then won't my future tofu business get better and better? Hehe, uh...... How do you feel that there are some ways to sell your hue to make money?
"Is there still tofu?" A sweet voice came.
I just felt that the voice was familiar, and when I looked up, it was a familiar smiling face.
"Mu ...... Mu Niangzi? I couldn't believe my eyes: "Mu Niangzi wants to buy tofu?" ”
"Yes. I want all the left. Mu Niangzi still had a sweet smile on her face, and her tone was heroic with "not bad money".
"There's a box of miles." I pointed to the box at the other end: "I have three layers in this box, and each layer can be cut into sixteen pieces, ...... Two pennies a piece. ”
"Okay, I'll send it to the inn in a while, and I'll find Fauber to settle the bill for you." Mu Niangzi said, but sat down on the small stool: "Is there still bean curd?" Have a bowl. ”
"Yes." I hurriedly answered, trembling and slapping her pea flowers, and for a while it was a little like a dream.
However, all this is true, Mu Niangzi, the unreachable woman in my heart, is sitting next to me at the moment, eating the bean curd I cooked with my own hands, and buying nearly 100 yuan of tofu.
"Mu ...... Mu Niangzi, do you really want this whole box? Isn't it too much? ”
The corners of Mu Niangzi's mouth raised lightly: "A piece of tofu is only two yuan, and it is not expensive, when I get to my store, divide it into small pieces and fry it with some oil, add a little salt and green onions, and I can sell it for twelve yuan a plate." If you make soup with crucian carp, you only need half a piece of it, but the value will be higher. ”
"Yes. I'll send it in a moment. I replied respectfully, not daring to cross-examine him in the presence of such a shrewd proprietor.
"This bean curd is also two pennies, give it." After eating the bean curd, Mu Niangzi handed over two copper plates.
"Thank you." I hurriedly took it, smelling the money and the fragrance of gardenias.
She must be very fond of gardenias, I also like this flower, pure white and flawless, but unassuming, will only silently exude fragrance, just like Mu Niangzi, although there is Mu County Lieutenant behind her, but never use this to oppress the people as a prestige, but is so approachable, do not hesitate to stoop to the roadside stall to eat my two pennies of bean curd.
Two pennies, how does she know the price of bean curd? Had she been here before?
After selling the last few bowls of bean curd, I picked up a large box of tofu and took it to the Jianghu Inn.
"Li Lang, hehe, the owner said just now, if it sells well, then we will all want your tofu in the future, you come over early tomorrow to see the situation, I don't know if the owner will want it tomorrow."
"Hey, good." I was a little excited for a while, if Mu Niangzi really bought all my tofu, wouldn't I be able to spare a lot of time every day? I hope she can sell it for a good price, and I hope I don't have to be bored anymore.
……
It was another sleepless night, not only because I was thinking about that Mu Niangzi, but also helping her worry about business. It wasn't until the east turned white that I fell asleep in a daze.
"Jianghu, why don't you get up yet! Still not working? ”
A knock on the door woke me up, and I sat up in a trance, only to realize that it was my aunt practicing "lion roar gong" again.
"Let's go to the inn in a while, if Mu Niangzi is really willing to buy all the tofu, then our business will be stable in the future, and even the booth fee can be saved." When A-Niang saw that I finally came out of the room, she brought the soaked soybeans to me, full of anticipation.
……
I came to the inn nervously, and as soon as I entered the store, I saw the gentle smiling face of Mu Niangzi.
She glanced at my burden: "I want all of these, even this bucket of bean curd, I will give you two hundred wen, if you want, from now on, I will send it according to this amount, and send it before the hour every day." How is it? ”
"Good!" I didn't think about it, so I did. 200 yuan, it usually takes half a day to set up a stall, and there is a booth fee, but now that this transaction has been made, these are saved.
With the heavy 200 yuan, I was happy but worried: "Mu Niangzi, you bought so much tofu, did the guests finish eating." ”
"Of course I can't finish it." Mu Niangzi smiled mysteriously: "I am an inn, mainly based on the income of the guest room, and the room will not be bad, and there is basically no need for cost expenditure."
The key is to let the people of Xiangzhou know that there is this place, no matter who wants to stay in the hotel, just pull someone on the street to inquire, and everyone will tell him to come to my Jianghu Inn. ”
Don't try to make money first, just make a reputation, and then attract people through fame, and then make money......
I pondered it carefully in my mind, and I couldn't help but admire Mu Niangzi's methods.
"Fu Bo, show the sign again, fried tofu with shallots, change to a plate of five cents, raw tofu for two cents, and a bowl of cooked bean curd for two cents."
"Yes."
Mu Niangzi commanded, and when she saw that I was still stunned, she smiled at me again: "Li Lang is afraid that he hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right?" Do you want to have a bowl of shredded pork noodles like last time? ”
"Okay." I replied, and as soon as the words came out, she was startled, and she ...... What was she talking about?
"Ah Wu, make a bowl of shredded pork noodles for Li Lang." Mu Niangzi had already instructed, and then smiled at me again: "Oh, a bowl of shredded meat noodles is eighteen yuan." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. ”
"Walk slowly." I also smiled, I just felt a pain in my heart, a breakfast cost 18 yuan, hey, it's too luxurious! I...... I thought she was talking about clear soup noodles. Why doesn't it follow common sense?
