Chapter Ninety-Four: Late-Night Video Hall

He Xiaoke didn't know what was happening in the courtyard, he was still knocking melon seeds in the shop at the entrance of the street.

In this era, it is not too difficult to find a reliable person.

A few years ago, educated youths returned to the city, but there are not so many jobs in the capital, and many people have not found a job until now.

"It seems that you have to go to the alley to find it, and you can't run away if you have a family and a room, but your character has to pass."

After thinking for a while, He Xiao got up and went to the video hall in the house to take a look, and when he saw that everything was normal, he walked out again.

After swallowing the melon seeds, his mouth was a little dry, so he cut the watermelon again and nibbled on the watermelon.

In the blink of an eye, it was twelve o'clock in the morning, and the last show in the video hall was over.

Before anyone left, He Xiao walked into the hall and greeted him.

"The second half will be put to six o'clock in the morning, and it only costs one dollar for the night, and there will be movies and blockbusters in the second half of the night, so if you want to see it, come to me to buy tickets."

"Movies? Blockbuster? ”

The people who were about to leave in the hall were stunned, and they all looked at He Xiao curiously.

"Comrade, what kind of blockbuster is yours?"

He Xiao glanced at a few people, and sold Guan Zi unhurriedly, "Does Miss Xiangjiang know about the beauty pageant?" ”

"Miss beauty pageant?"

"This ......"

"Ahem, comrade, it's not a bad film, is it?"

Everyone was in an uproar, and there was a faint excitement.

"Phew, what are you thinking about, it's all serious films, and they are all shown on TV in Xiangjiang."

He Xiao looked at the man who asked with disdain, there are a lot of Xiangjiang films, but he doesn't dare to let it go, in case it is checked, it will be over.

In fact, this kind of beauty pageant film is also a bit risky, but he is from Xiangjiang, so it's not a big problem.

There's no way, it's like this in this era, hanging a sign from an outsider is easy to use, and it's not okay if you don't accept it.

"Ahem, comrade give me a ticket."

"Well, get me one too."

……

After listening to He Xiao's words, everyone was so curious that they took the money and bought night tickets one after another.

The name of the main beauty pageant is too capitalistic, and you have to criticize it personally.

For a dollar, six hours of watching is not too expensive, even if the beauty pageant film is not good, there are still movies.

In the middle of the night, He Xiao sold out the tickets, counted them carefully, and sold a total of twelve tickets, and the electricity bill in the second half of the night was enough.

didn't rush to show the beauty pageant film, he stepped forward and pushed a martial arts film "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" into the video recorder.

This film is played by Cheng Long, and it looks pretty good.

In the second half of the night, he couldn't do business, He Xiao went out to close the door of the shop, sat in the hall and watched with the big guys.

"Huh? Comrade, isn't it a beauty pageant? ”

"What's the hurry, let's talk about it after watching the movie."

He Xiao yawned, he was still a little sleepy.

"Hum haha......"

This drama is a standard programmed martial arts comedy, and Cheng Long is still a little young now, but it's good to watch it when he's bored.

At two o'clock in the morning, the martial arts film on TV was put to the end.

None of the people in the hall fell asleep, and they all looked at He Xiao in the front row.

"Comrade, this will be released, right?"

"Yes, I'll let you go."

He Xiao's head was dizzy, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he planned to go to sleep after the film.

After rummaging through the suitcase outside, he walked in with a beauty pageant film.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, He Xiao pushed the strap in.

"Knock Knock ......"

At the beginning of the film, there is a burst of intense music, and a man appears on the TV, standing on the stage with a microphone and singing Cantonese songs.

The man sang well, but everyone in the hall was a little disappointed.

"Isn't this a beauty pageant?"

"yes, what's the matter with this man?"

"Huh? It's coming, it's coming. ”

Everyone was in good spirits, and the man on TV sang a couple of sentences, and then stretched out his hand to a beautiful woman next to him.

"Seventh, Miss Yang Meiling!"

As soon as the background sound on the TV is finished, the camera is given to the beautiful woman, who is squirming alone on the stage.

"Oops......"

"Hiss......"

The gentlemen in the alley, who have never seen such a scene, gasped one after another.

This Xiangjiang woman is just good-looking.

The more they look at it, the more energetic they become, and He Xiaoke can't do it.

glanced at the TV, he was so disgusted that he couldn't do it, what was this twist, it didn't look good at all.

With a yawn, he got up and went to the outhouse.

Not in a hurry to sleep, he opened the drawer and counted the money he had earned today.

It was open from 12 o'clock at noon to 12 o'clock in the morning, which is exactly four shows.

Coupled with the night money he had just received, He Xiao counted it, and it was fifty-one five in total.

"Okay, fifty yuan a day, only one thousand and five a month."

After a while, He Xiao was suddenly a little deflated.

1,500 a month, which is a lot of money in the capital.

But Shelving Xiangjiang, a cashier in an ordinary market, has a monthly salary of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.

It's really incomparable......

"Forget it, it's idle anyway, it's time to accumulate entrepreneurial experience, but a video hall does earn a little less, and it seems that you have to open a branch quickly."

yawned again, He Xiao didn't bother to think about it, he had never started a business in his previous life, so it would be good to give it a try.

Pulling the bench behind him to the wall, he lay down in a daze.

When He Xiao woke up again, the sky was cloudy.

Raising his wrist, he glanced at the time and saw that it was just over five o'clock.

A little uneasy, he got up and went to the hall to take a look, and saw that everyone was still watching the beauty pageant intently, and he was a little impressed.

These guys are so energetic.

After staying up for another half an hour, at six o'clock, he quickly turned off the TV and rushed out to catch up with someone.

When the people were gone, He Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, it was really hard to work the night shift.

His head was a little dizzy, he closed the door of the bunk, and rode back to the courtyard on the little Suzuki.

When he entered the outer courtyard, he happened to meet the three masters, he instructed twice, and then went back to his room to sleep.

This night, He Xiao slept in the dark, and didn't get up until the afternoon.

looked in the mirror and looked at his dark circles, he was really helpless.

For a dozen dollars, it's really not worth it.

Seeing that it was not too early, he washed up, went to eat something again, and then went to the shop again.

Turning the corner of the alley, he Xiao saw a tricycle parked at the entrance of his shop.

Behind the tricycle, there is also a familiar figure busy.

"No, are you?"

Silly Zhu glanced up and ignored He Xiao.

He lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, and saw that the baked cakes inside were not cooked, so he hurriedly covered them again.

Looking at the stupid pillar who was busy, He Xiao was convinced.

This stupid pillar is really enough, he actually chased him and sold meat buns here.

The silly pillar stall is also simple, a broken stove, with a pan sitting on it, and a pot of boiled beef next to it, which smells quite fragrant.

But He Xiao looked at this beef, like the lump from a few days ago.

"Well, how do you sell this cake?"

"Two cents and five one."

"Bring me two."

He Xiao took out five cents from his pocket and planned to buy two for supper.

"Not for sale."
