Snack Street Tycoon

Chapter 12

It took him more than a month to sell croaks in the morning, do croaks in the afternoon and evening and take care of all the small things in his house. He saw that the rainy season was coming to an end.He made a lot of money, all of which were carefully locked in the money box that his mother-in-law gave him before.He has gone to the "Golden Wood" to exchange money a few times - to exchange strings into ingots. In addition to exchanging different "currencies" in this Golden Wood, you can also save money.It's just that they have to pay them a certain amount of interest for saving money. He thought that he was not a big family right now, so he thought it better not to save it first, and just be more careful for a while before talking about it.

From his point of view, this Golden Wood is like a bank, except that they get interest for depositing money in the bank, but here they have to give them interest as a kind of service fee.

The "ingot" here is not made of gold or silver, and I don't know what kind of precious metal it is.There is real gold in this place, but it is so rare and precious that it is so rare that it is impossible to use it as currency. It can only be occasionally made into a small bead or other shaped ornaments inlaid on hairpins or On the ring, those who can afford it are those who are extremely prominent or rich in their families.From Fan Yu's point of view, the status of gold in this world is similar to that of diamonds in his previous world.Because this gold is extremely rare and precious, people in this world name companies such as banks after it, and they are all called "So-and-so Jinwu". , the status is equivalent to the Bank of China, which is regarded as the central bank here. Although the difference is that Caidan Jinwu and its many semicolons are privately owned, but they "colluded" with the government to cast and "issue" those ingots and skewers. All the things are handed over to them.

What Fan Yu was thinking about was that he hoped that Jinwu would take care of himself and do things well, so that he wouldn't cause a wave of inflation, because he thought that it would not be easy for him to earn some money now, so he wouldn't be inflated when the time came. Tong" gave him all his money.However, the prices in this place seem to have been quite stable, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

This afternoon, after closing the stalls, he ate a bowl of guagua in his own stall, and then pushed the cart to Caidan Jinwu again. Today, he had a lot of money strings to convert into small ingots.And he was still thinking about buying a dog to guard the house and buying a horse-drawn cart, so he walked all the way in a daze, as if his mind was out of his body, and he didn't even notice the change of the sky until the crab-blue color ahead. There was a sudden lightning flash in the sky like a branch-like blue tendon bursting open, and after a while, there was a crackling thunderclap, not like the sound of an explosion, but It was a muffled thunder, and he knew that the rain would come soon.

He hurriedly wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain, because he thought that the rain in this place would not last long, and he only needed to avoid it for a while.This sowing rainy season is coming to an end, and when the cold season is about to begin, the rain should be a little more frequent.

He is pushing south along Daqi Street, because Caidan Jinwu is in that direction, which is the opposite direction to the way back to his home, but it is in the same direction as the direction he used to deliver gray wheat bags. On the way to the dock, you will pass the restaurant.

When he passes by that restaurant now, he wants to pass by quickly, so as not to be caught by the shopkeeper inside who knows him, because he has done such a small business now, and he is no longer going to deliver goods to them, and now his mother-in-law is chasing him The little donkey went down the mountain into the city to deliver the goods.He was afraid that the name of his current business would fall into their ears again, and he wanted to take care of it all again.Although he can also refuse and find some excuses to refuse, but right now he dare not offend anyone, fearing that after saying "no" to others, people will bear grudges and then be harsh on his mother-in-law's wheat bag business.He can't count on anyone in this place now, it's easy to think about everything, and the most feared thing is trouble.

Although he didn't want to pass by the door of this house, he couldn't push his rather small cart along the side of the street in the opposite direction.When he was about to quickly lower his head and slip through the gate of this house, and walk forward to find a place with a big eaves to avoid the next rain, the rain had already poured down.Almost splashed him.The eaves on the left and right of this restaurant are extremely narrow, and there are no people gathered below to shelter from the rain, but only a few people gather under the eaves in front of this restaurant to temporarily avoid the rain. There are hawkers like Fan Yu , There are also passers-by.

He thought that being crowded among these people should not be so conspicuous, so he wanted to hide among these people.He lowered his head and stood under the eaves. The outer edge of his cart was still drenched in the rain, but that was all he could do.

At this moment, someone opened the window behind him, but he ignored it, and continued to look at the street, without expressing curiosity, he glanced behind him.He only heard a woman report softly from behind: "Hey, ma'am, isn't this the one that sells quack business on this street?" He was startled and almost shrank his neck to hide.I was still thinking in my heart: Alas, 'the tiredness of being famous', once a person is 'famous', it is troublesome.

Knowing that there was no need to hide, he glanced back.This is a side room on the first floor of this restaurant on the side of the street. Because it is facing the street, the windows of this kind of room are opened very high. I am afraid that when you open the window, you will see the crowds in front of the window, which will affect the time of eating. interest.And the floor of this kind of wing room is much higher than that of the street outside, so the maid who came to open the window could easily see Fan Yu, but when Fan Yu wanted to turn his head to take a look inside the wing room, he could only Stand on tiptoe to get a better view.

Seeing a woman sitting inside, I think she bought quack food at his stall.I have some impression of her maid, but not so clear impression of this woman, maybe she just sent her maid to buy food from him before, and didn't go forward to squeeze with a crowd of people In front of his stall.

He smiled at the woman, seeing that she was well dressed, she must have some background, so naturally he couldn't keep a straight face.There is no need to be coquettish, but there is no need to be distressed, just put on his usual professional smile when "receiving customers" in front of the stall.

If he put on such a smile on his previous face and figure, it would definitely have a great lethal effect on a woman of fifteen to fifty, but now his "glory" makes this smile not that lethal , can be more or less affinity.When the middle-aged woman saw that it was really the croaker, she asked him: "Little brother, what's your name?" He replied: "Madam, my name is Fan Yu." The middle-aged woman didn't really think so Asking his name was just to pave the way for what she wanted to say next, thinking that she shouldn't be too direct.After she asked this sentence, she immediately got to the point, and the next sentence asked: "I have been thinking about why your business doesn't last at night? My daughter is pregnant, and I want to eat your business several times late at night." Things, but there is nowhere to buy them. You said it would be great if your stall didn’t close until [-]:[-] p.m., she likes to eat fresh ones.”

As soon as he heard it, he was about to answer something, when he saw the door of the side room behind him opened, and a man and a woman with a full stomach came in, and the woman called the man "Second Brother".There was another person who followed them in. Fan Yu saw that he recognized this person, who belonged to the shopkeeper, so he turned his head hurriedly in fright, and looked towards the street again.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said at this time: "Hey? What are you hiding? I happened to have something to do with you. Your mother-in-law came to deliver the goods these days. When I asked her about you, she was always vague. You are also evasive like this, there is something shady in your family." Fan Yu was also embarrassed when he heard that, he turned his head again, looked at the people in the room inside, and said: "It's nothing, I see All of you have arrived, and you turned your head away thinking that it would be impolite to stare at it."

At this time, the man who was called the second brother by the pregnant woman waved to him. He was not used to the gesture of waving for a while, because it was like greeting a child. For example, an uncle greets a child with his palm down. Make a move and say "kid, come here".But he is indeed a small man in this world now. Although he seems to have grown up a lot these days, he is still a small man. It seems that there is nothing wrong with calling him like this.The man who looked like he was 25 or [-] said to him: "Go and park the scooter in the backyard and come here from the back. I have something to talk to you." He became nervous when he heard that, and said : "I don't know anything, I have to ask my mother-in-law if I have anything."

The man ignored him, and said to the shopkeeper standing behind him: "Go ahead and take him, push his car to the backyard, and bring him here again." After a while, he came out from the main door.At this time, the rain was falling very thinly, as if it was about to stop.The shopkeeper didn't even have an umbrella, so he came up and lightly shoved Fan Yu's shoulder, telling him to follow him to the backyard.

Fan Yu could only push the cart and follow.It didn't take much time to get to the back, and the shopkeeper still took the time to talk to him and said: "The one before was our boss, and the one sitting next to him is his sister, the daughter-in-law of Caidan Jinwu boss, why are you so blank?" What? If you were asked to go in, you would go in, and you would just say this or that. You can’t go in if you say no, and the boss will just follow what you said and really don’t want you to go in, so where is that face!"

Fan Yu listened to his scolding all the way without saying a word, and after he parked the cart in the backyard, he took out the money bag he used to store the day's income from the partition under the cart.The shopkeeper didn't say anything when he saw this shabby gesture of his, but his face was slightly disdainful, probably because he was thinking about how much money he had in his purse, and the backyard of his restaurant was extremely safe, yet he still behaved like this Don't worry about holding it.

In fact, Fan Yu wanted to keep not only a money bag, but also the mustard oil that he secretly prepared, for fear that the chef would come out of the backyard and beat him up after he entered the side room there. Take a closer look at the seasoning bucket.

But he also knew that it was impossible, how could he talk to people with the row of seasoning buckets in his hands.So I just followed the shopkeeper like this, and when I arrived at the wing room on the right side of the front lobby, I found that the family was just sitting and drinking tea and sweet soup. There was no salty smell in the air, only the smell of tea and a few hints of sweetness. .Thinking about it, it's been too long, and lunch should have been eaten long ago, how can it be as late as he eats lunch every day now.

After he went in, he saw the shopkeeper standing behind the man's house, and turned his head to wink at himself, so he walked over and stood behind the man.The man turned sideways and asked him, "How old are you?" Fan Yu was not used to this man talking to him in the tone of an adult talking to a little furry child, but he didn't think it was a big deal, and if he wasn't used to it, then As long as you get used to it, you can't ask this person to get used to him.He replied: "I'm almost fifteen." The man nodded, and asked: "Is the stuff you sell at your stall very good recently? Everyone knows that." He replied: "Still... yes, it's not bad. "

The man went on to ask: "I've been thinking of talking to your family about this recently, and we want to include your quacks too. And... you must know that our restaurant has a lot of semicolons, and your mother-in-law only asks you to talk about it every day." It’s not enough to make more than 400 for a semicolon here. Why don’t we allocate more people to help you make these things.” Fan Yu felt that this person’s words were a bit hateful, so he avoided responding to him directly , just said: "This boss, how many semi-colons do you have, and how much do you need to supply every day? You just say the quantity, we can supply it. And it's not that the quack can't be sold in your restaurant, it's just itself It is not suitable for any dish or meat. The most suitable is a strong flavored sauce, which is enough. But if you have to sell it in your restaurant, it is not suitable for stir-frying soup, but use fine beans or fine minced meat It’s okay to pour the spicy and not thick sauce on top. I still have to do this business. I only use condiments outside. You use some expensive sauce with minced meat to reduce the price. But I’m still selling it at the price that’s close to the people. If you make money, I... we can make money too.” He almost blurted out, saying, “I also have money to make.” Come on, it's too obvious.

The man thought to himself: It's all over, what did you say earlier that you don't know anything, and you have to ask your mother-in-law for everything?

The man said: "That's good, but can you supply that much? Why don't you supply ten rooms first, each room needs five hundred gray wheat bags every day, and three hundred large bowls of gua gua. If you If you find that the supply is not enough, you can ask us for help." Fan Yu originally wanted to say "don't worry about it", thinking that this "bumpkin" might have never seen the battle of modern industrialized mass production, but then he thought again , Why do you need to talk to provoke others.In this place, it is okay for others to speak to provoke him, but it may not be so wise for him to speak to provoke others.There is no way to do this. When you are in a low position, you are struggling most of the time with emotional intelligence, and the most critical part of emotional intelligence is "enduring humiliation".No wonder Fan Yu felt that even his temper was several times better now than in the past. It turned out that he was used to bearing humiliation now.

He only replied: "Okay, if we are too busy, we will come and ask your people to help." But the man knew in his heart that the 15-year-old child in front of him should have known it early in the morning, and he should be there by then. It is impossible to come and ask their people to help, the man suddenly just smiled and said: "Then if there is something new in your family in the future, you should be the first to think about negotiating with our restaurant." After a pause, he added: "How is it?" Fan Yu was about to answer, but suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, the price of the gray wheat bag will not be reset. Say, you have to order 26 pieces for every three bowls.” The large bowls at his stall are less than twice the amount of the medium bowls, and the price is seven pieces, which should be 21 pieces for three bowls. Yes, but you have to count the money for special supply and delivery and some other miscellaneous expenses, so it is set at 26 yuan.He feels that this place is different from the previous place. In the past, the wholesale price was cheaper than the retail price, but in this world, it cannot be calculated like this. In this world, the "bank" has to pay interest for depositing silver. So why can't he set the wholesale price higher than the retail price?As soon as the man heard that it was reasonable and in line with his original expectations, he nodded in agreement, and then still looked at him, because he hadn't given any answer to the previous question.

Fan Yu knew that he was waiting for a word, but he only said: "This boss, you have so many restaurants under your name, and you are such a famous person, I wonder if it would be too embarrassing for you to help me save a person to come out. .If you redeem him for me, if there is anything new in the future, I will indeed think of you first, and I will not break my promise."

Fan Yu himself didn't know that he was talking and talking, but he gradually forgot his feelings, and he brought out his previous unambiguous momentum, and he didn't pay much attention to his words. He used "we" to show something before He is not the only one who has the final say. Gradually, he no longer cares about this level, and uses "I" all the time.

At this moment, even the shopkeeper who was standing behind the owner with his head arched and his shoulders shrugged was stunned several times, as if he had re-acquainted with this little boy who used to deliver goods to him all over again. Brother is average.

At this time, before the owner could speak, the pregnant young woman next to him said, "Who can't we get out? Just tell me, and now I'll let someone accompany you." Fan Yu said: " It's an old acquaintance, I used to work as a handyman in a brothel, and he was too, but the mother there sent him to a wing to raise him a few months ago, hoping that he would also do that kind of business in the future. He refused, but when he met me once, he had a sad look on his face, but because we are all poor, he still has the value of selling money in the future, and it is not so easy to redeem it."

When the young lady heard this, she didn't think there was anything pitiful or not. Things in brothels were not always like this. She just felt that it was not a big deal for people like them to protect someone, so she thought about it. Ask the shopkeeper to follow him, and the matter will be settled.No, at this time her second brother said: "Forget it, I'll go along."

So the owner of this house, named Houhou Mian, followed Fan Yu to the brothel where Fan Yu had stayed before.Hou Houfang was followed by some strong and healthy servants, and the group headed towards the brothel like a "local underworld" going to loot.

As soon as they said they wanted to ask Zu Xin to come out, the mother and the manager in the lobby were too scared to say a word, so they handed over the person and the deed, signed it, and transferred the deed.It's just that Fan Yu's side can't sign it now, and he can't sign it on behalf of his mother-in-law, so he just asked the brothel party to sign what they want to sign, and after taking it back, it's the same for her mother-in-law to sign again.At that time, after the mother-in-law signed the deed, she would go to the government office of Yunu City to show the deed to the official in charge of this matter, and let it be recorded on the file, and everything would be settled.
