Chapter 168: Weighing the Pros and Cons

The next day, the first day of the film event.

In the early hours of the morning, there was no movement on the road outside, and Xinlan woke up. She felt that it was still early, so she unconsciously went to see the alarm clock, the time was too early, and it was only the time to go to the hotel to help before. She smiled wryly and complained that she was a part-time worker, and closed her eyes and wanted to sleep again, but she couldn't sleep. Oh, yes! How can you fall asleep!? If you have money in your hand last time, you won't go to see Director Fan empty-handed. She was looking forward to making a small profit this time, and by the way, she could solve the urgent need at the moment.

She simply got up and checked the shelves again, and last night the new ones were dazzling and full of shelves. Because of the early purchase of the goods and the day's psychological preparation, Xinlan is no longer worried. She was much calmer on the outside, unaffected by the tension brought by the event, and secretly worked hard, as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, looking forward to the early arrival of the time, and the people who watched the morning movie to go on the market as soon as possible, so as to make a fortune from it.

But I can't eat hot rice in a hurry. She knows that no matter how anxious she is to make money, she has to abide by the rules of time, you must know that every movie event has a time regulation, and if it is not time, people will not be there, and if it is not time, the movie will not be screened, even if you are on fire.

There was no way, Xinlan had no choice but to be patient and decided to eat something to fill her stomach first. She took out the leftovers she brought back when she went to the hotel for leave the day before yesterday, and prepared to eat it hot, but she felt a little sour, and she wanted to eat it and was afraid that there would be a problem with it, so she hesitated again and again, and finally gave up, so she had to nibble on two dry steamed eggs and drink some boiling water to pass herself. In fact, through this experience of eating leftovers, she feels that her appetite has adapted, but after weighing the pros and cons, she is worried that due to small losses, her stomach will affect her business. Although this is the last meal, there will be no more free meals in the future! But this is also the first movie event, and if there is a problem with this last meal, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Xinlan thought about the restaurant in her heart, and felt that it was a pity to lose the free meal. But how to solve the future meals! I used to be poor, but I don't go to work in a restaurant in the future, and I can't deal with poverty, so it looks like I have to think in the long run, and buy more pickles or something when I have free time in the afternoon, in case of emergency.

The waiting time is long, but fortunately, the opening of the store on the street can occasionally bring some business, which makes Xinlan not too lonely. And just like that, it's finally time to go public. The arrangement in the theater is one at nine o'clock in the morning, one at half past one in the afternoon, one at half past four in the afternoon, and one at half past seven in the evening, four movies a day, one more than usual. But although it is only one more, because all the blockbusters are screened during the event, and it is a continuous bombardment of carousel, the social and economic effects brought by it are naturally incomparable compared with ordinary times.

It was finally past eight o'clock. In Xinlan's heart, eight o'clock seems to be a node. She thinks that the movie at nine o'clock, and at eight o'clock, the moviegoers should slowly gather here in the theater square, and at this time, the business of all the small shops in the square should slowly go on the market. Naturally, your own should be better, after all, your own store has one more opening, and the door face is more open. When Xinlan was thinking like this, the flow of people in the square slowly increased, in groups of three or five, red and willow green, some old and young, and most of them were young people. People flocked to the various kiosks in the square to pass the boring time before the opening of the movie, buying melon seeds, peanuts, candies and other small snacks, and they flocked to the various kiosks in the square, competing to pick and choose the food that suited their tastes.

Xinlan is like other commissaries, business has also surged up, she has been mentally prepared, but even so, she is a little overwhelmed. Due to the large window for sale, it is a window in two directions, although it is convenient for people to choose, but it is also difficult for her to deal with, both windows are people, this side is also wanting, that side is also asking, taking care of this side and not taking care of that side. Xinlan took care of one thing and the other, and after a while, she was busy sweating, and she didn't care about the running account that she was going to write. She was happy that the business was booming at the same time, but she was worried that something would go wrong, but fortunately, there was only an hour before the screening, and soon it passed, and after seeing people entering the venue, Xinlan finally took a long breath and couldn't help but say to herself: Oh my God! Finally got through it!

Xinlan sat on the stool and gasped for a while, thinking that the things she had sold just now had not been recorded, so she recalled them one by one, recorded them in the account book in order, and after confirming that there were no omissions, she began to sit down and calculate the income from this movie. Forty-eight packs of loose melon seeds, each pack earns four points; 61 packets of melon seeds in small packets, each pack netting five points; 36 packs of bulk peanuts, each pack netting one cent and a half; eleven packs of hollow beans, each pack earns three points; Nine packs of orchid beans, each pack earns six points; Fifteen packs of mints, earn four points per pack; bubble gum three packs and so on; She counted them out with a pen and added them together, and her heart suddenly became excited. Xinlan was a little unconvinced, she didn't expect that the event had just started and people could see the results. But the reality is like this, this movie has an income of nearly fifteen yuan.

The real, somewhat unbelievable situation made Xinlan a little confused! Yes, according to this business, an income is not more than fifteen yuan, four games a day is sixty yuan, which is more than a month's salary of an eighth-level fitter master, so that you can earn a year's salary after working hard for an activity week, and complain that the old grandson and Xiaowei said that sometimes a month can top the income of a year's workers, it seems that it is not false at all, if so, this activity can earn four or five hundred.

Xinlan thought like this, and still didn't believe it in her heart, she had taken over for so long, and it was the first time that such a hot business was today. Why didn't it work before? Is it just because it's not a new film and it's not an event? Xinlan thought about the reasons, and felt that although these reasons were there, there was also a large part of the reasons for her personal business methods, and the business delayed by Sun Wei's affairs some time ago would inevitably affect the business.

Xinlan had an idea and began to act. She made up for the lack of goods on the shelves, and the subcontracted ones were packed and stacked with the measuring tools left by her grandson, in case of need in the afternoon, waiting for all this to be done, and seeing that the watch was almost over. She knew that the end of the game at this time was the beginning of the next game, although she had the experience of the first game, she could deal with it calmly, and she would not be flustered, but she felt that even so, she could not relax or slack off, she reminded herself.
