Snack Street Tycoon

Chapter 25

Fan Yu suddenly realized that this candy could earn so much here, so he froze there.He was sitting opposite Xia Houyi, Xia Houyi saw that he was talking but stopped talking, so he asked him: "What's the matter? Can this candy bar be made in just a few pieces?"

Fan Yu had already said what he had said, so he couldn't deny it at this time, so he nodded again and said, "Yes, the cost is cheap." He raised his eyes and saw that Xia Houyi was about to say something, so he immediately added a sentence : "But the process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you count the manpower, it will not be cheap." In fact, there is no such thing at all, but it is exaggerated by what he said, and he is also afraid that Xia Houyi will hear him say that the cost is cheap. It will be followed by a sentence like "then you make more, and sell them in all my restaurants and restaurants".

Hearing what he said, Xia Houyi sat still for a long time, then squinted at him suddenly, and said, "Don't scare me." Fan Yu's eyes were a little wandering, and he tried to avoid looking at him.He asked again: "Can you stop thinking about my cousin. Your handmade cold sticks have been sold in my shop. Before I come to your side today, I will ask the shopkeeper when I leave the restaurant. , Most of those cold sticks have been sold. They can be sold at a high price in my restaurant, such a profitable business, why are you still so stubborn?"

There are only two words left in Fan Yu's mind at this time - good money, he has to admit that these two words are the two words that are most attractive to him right now.Perhaps it has always been the most attractive, but it is especially for him now.

And this Xia Houyi is also hateful, he seems to be very aware of Fan Yu's weakness in this aspect, so he is only using this to convince him.

Then, he persuaded him for a while, and Fan Yu was moved by his words, and he temporarily threw away the verbal promise to Chonghou Fang in his heart, thinking that things like this are sold in Xiahouyi's restaurant now, why not As long as he sells it, he can also make a fortune himself.His thinking is actually not wrong in terms of business, because it is best not to move the things once they are sold. There seems to be a feng shui emphasis in this.Since the cool bar is placed on the right side of the counter in Hou Yi restaurant and the goods go fast, it should be kept in that position and not move until one day it slows down, and then think of other ways.It's like a certain piece of clothing in a clothing store is placed in a certain position when it is delivered, and it is particularly out of stock, so don't move it until it "can't walk" before thinking about moving or doing it. Something else to boost its sales.

This is a kind of feng shui theory.Fan Yu's origin is always believed.Since the candy bar is so easy to sell in Hou Yi's restaurant, he might as well take the opportunity to make a lot of money first, maybe one day the candy bar will not be so popular, then maybe Xia Houyi will not come to ask for it anymore If the goods are sold out, then he no longer has to worry about Chong Hou Fang coming to question him about something, he only said that he was only selling goods for a while, and he didn't think about the long-term.

The current situation is a bit strange, a bit like the kind of person who has been tempted by chance and wants to cheat once or twice, and wants to hide it from his significant other, because he thinks that cheating is only temporary. It's not about having an extramarital affair for a long time.

Such a comparison seems inappropriate, but it fits to a certain extent with the dilemma Fan Yu is facing now.

But when it comes to Fan Yu's matter specifically, he doesn't really have any kind of loyalty or disloyalty, "cheating" or not "cheating".He used to be a businessman, but now he is a small businessman, but the nature of a businessman has not changed - he will always be mercenary, and he will not want to take less than what is due to him.

This kind of bloodiness honed in the survival game of chasing wealth all year round is inherited from his family. Once it emerges, his true nature will be exposed, with a kind of greed, fangs shining, quietly watching In dark places where prey cannot see.Since this cooperation with Xia Houyi is not harmful at all, then why can't it be done.He nodded, agreed, and asked: "How much do you want every day?" The other party replied: "There are ten semicolons in the vicinity, and how many are farther away... I think it will be twelve. Each room is [-]." After finishing speaking, he paused and asked, "Apart from this kind of candy bar, do you have anything else?" Fan Yu almost didn't think about it, and replied: "No." And at this moment, he can't even see a little abnormality in his expression. After every instinctive blood in his heart has been carried to his brain from the depths of his heart, his whole person is unusually calm, stable and cold, Uncommonly calm.

He can't let this person know that he still has body warming candy sticks and large coconut candy sticks. He has been struggling for a long time just because of a cool stick in front of him. If this person knows about all the candy sticks, At that time, he will be obsessed with this person for everything, and he may not even have a little room to maneuver - then it will be as if he has cooperated with this person on several things in a row. One incident was "revealed", and he couldn't even explain it to Chonghou.

He told Xiahouyi that it would take about ten days for him to supply such a large quantity of goods. Xiahouyi said it was ok, and asked him if he needed any help, but he said no.After that, Xia Houyi chatted with him a few more words, and went down the mountain to go back to the mansion.

He was busy making candy that afternoon, and went to the market to buy people with his mother-in-law early the next morning, and this time he bought another twenty.There are already 20 people in the house that his family is renting. If you want to live in another ten people, you can live in it. It is the kind of canopy bed with bunk beds, and there is no family in this place who sleeps on such a bed, so a master in the carpenter's shop has to be specially invited to make it for them.

Fan Yu thought about making the bed again. Why not rent out the big house with the same specification next to this house, and let ten of the 20 newly bought people live in the old house, and the other ten People go to live in the new house next to each other.Because he always had a vague feeling that something was going to happen, and there should be more people added to the house at that time, and one day the house would not be enough to live in, so it would be better to rent the empty house next to it early in the morning, so that people could live in it at any time. If you want to add people to it, you are not afraid that there will be no place for people to live.

And it's good that the two houses are theirs, and there are fewer neighbors, and it's safer for them at present.

It took him and his mother-in-law a day to do these two things, and Zu Xin and another person in the house were responsible for the food for the craftsmen in the house under the mountain.And Fan Yu went home at night and had to make cool sticks.

The next day they went to the market to buy cattle.Because Fan Yu thought that the amount of roughage needed would also increase, why not buy more donkeys and horses, in the future he would have a lot of roughage to make maltose, and his donkeys and horses would also have a lot of The soft and "high priced" coarse stalks are edible.

He sent the newly bought donkeys and horses into the house, which can also replace part of the manpower.For example, in the small wet mill, when Fan Yu was doing the job of grinding the cornstarch into a coarse pulp, he would stop and go when he did it by himself at the very first time. When he saw that the paste in the center inlet was almost gone, he stopped. , add a spoonful to it.Later, when it was handed over to the people in the house, they would have an older boy grind the mill, and a younger boy would add wheat flour into the inlet port in the center of the millstone from time to time.

Now that there are donkeys and horses, this work can be done by one person and one donkey or one person and one horse, and let the animals grind the mill, while a young boy only needs to be responsible for feeding and driving the animals.And the remaining manpower can be used for other things.

By the eighth day after the day when Xia Houyi placed an order with him, his house at the foot of the mountain had already been able to produce large-scale handmade fanhe cold sticks. Six people could produce about [-] sticks in half a day. The twelve shops for Xia Houyi are more than enough.

At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, he sent someone to use a trolley to deliver the [-] cool sticks that Xia Houyi asked for—the amount for twelve semicolons a day—to Houyi Restaurant on Daqi Street. At the back door, there should be eight small ingots, twelve strings and eighty pieces.However, the person he sent to deliver the goods came back and said that the shopkeeper said that they would not pay the money first, and that their boss would come to him and bring the money with him.

Fan Yu asked if he said when he would come, but the man said he didn't.Fan Yu nodded and said he understood, and then he left the city and went back to the mountain.

That afternoon Xia Houyi brought the money and gave him the small package containing the money.I also asked him how he was recently, and I didn't know what he was busy with, and I hadn't seen him for a long time.He said that he was busy with the supply of his restaurant, and said that he rented a new house and bought people, which were trivial matters.He also asked Xiahouyi what he was busy with. Xiahouyi said that the food transported from the south encountered a flood in a county on the way, so he had to divert it. The head of the food team was afraid of encountering some unexpected dangers, so he asked someone to report to him, so he asked someone to bring a letter to the officials of a nearby county, asking them to escort his food team for a journey .

Fan Yu asked him why he didn't buy grain nearby, and he said that the rice brought up from the south was delicious and cheap.

They spent an hour talking about old times in the kitchen, but there didn't seem to be anything to talk about after all, and it was nothing more than two business affairs between the two of them.

In front of Fan Yu, Xia Houyi might be really childish sometimes.And after all, he himself doesn't know what caused his own naivety, sometimes he would think of some stupid things, for example, he saved Fan Yu that time, and put his arms around him, because he was so small that he had to lean up. When he looked at him, he thought he was so obsessed that he couldn't even move. Thinking about it afterwards, he would make a fool of himself; It seemed that he couldn't understand, and he responded with some blunt words. When he looked back, he made it seem like he was saying something stupid.

As for Fan Yu, he didn't know the "abnormal" behavior of the man in front of him, he didn't know that the man was actually "very affectionate" in his heart, and even if his elm head knew it, He wouldn't believe it either, since he didn't know this person for a long time, what kind of affection can this person develop?Secondly, he will only think that this person has the same thoughts as his cousin, and he just wants to recruit him as a disciple, and wants to use some of his skills and new tricks he created to make money. All the so-called Any affection is just a pretense.

At this time, Fan Yu saw Zu Xin stepping over the threshold from the kitchen door and entering.Xia Houyi was sitting with his back to the kitchen door, and when he heard movement behind him, he turned around to look, and saw that it was this person.He still remembered that his friend seemed to have fallen in love with this person in the lobby of that brothel before, and later this person was rescued by Fan Yu and returned home.It's just that I either didn't meet or didn't really meet each other a few times back.

When Zu Xin saw the man sitting opposite Fan Yu in the kitchen, he was startled when he crossed the threshold, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.Later, when he saw this person turned his head and looked at him, his face was still expressionless.

Seeing him like this, Fan Yu thought maybe it was because Xiahouyi was a friend of the fat man, so when he saw Xiahouyi, he looked obviously unhappy.

Fan Yu hurriedly asked something casually, trying to smooth things over and divert this somewhat awkward atmosphere: "Zu Xin, you're back. Where's your mother-in-law?" Zu Xin replied: "I'm back, and my mother-in-law is still staying in the house. Said to come back later." After speaking, Xia Houyi passed by without looking at him, and carried away a small black pottery jar on the stove.

There was a big coconut candy stick in it, and he wanted to take it back to his room and eat it.

Fan Yu was still thinking, where did this Zu Xin get his temper? Maybe something happened to him in the house at the foot of the mountain that made him uncomfortable.He also thought that after Xia Houyi left, he would go and ask what happened to "this child".

Unexpectedly, after a while, there was a sound of "thump" in the sleeping room next door. Fan Yu hurriedly got up and went to have a look, and saw the short table at the head of the bed fell on the ground, but "fortunately" that Only the clepsydra timer was fine, and I don't know what happened to the clepsydra, which was placed on the inside of the bed, and I don't know what Zu Xin did with the clepsydra on the bed.

He walked over, lifted the low table, took the clepsydra from the inside of the bed, and placed it on the low table impartially.He asked: "Why did the short table fall down? Are you okay?" Zu Xin was sitting on the edge of the bed, and the small black pottery jar was placed in the center of the bed. The lid of the altar was still closed, but Zu Xin could smell There was a strong aroma of big coconut mixed with slightly burnt sugar in his mouth, and he knew that he was holding half a piece of big coconut sugar in his mouth.

Zu Xin said: "For some reason, it fell down." When Fan Yu heard this, it was nonsense, but he didn't ask any more questions, and only told him to be careful when walking around in the room, so as not to bump into anything. Things were smashed and people were injured.Zu Xin said he knew.

Afterwards, Fan Yu went back to the kitchen on the other side, and sat talking with Xia Houyi about the past, which was actually nothing to talk about.

While talking, there was another "thump" in the next room.Fan Yu went to the other side to look again, and saw that the bucket used for bathing in the room fell on the ground like this. The bucket was relatively strong and could not be broken even if it was dropped. Turn over?

Fan Yu asked Zu Xin again, and Zu Xin replied: "I don't know what happened, it turned over." Fan Yu said: "All right, don't stay in this room, you go to the kitchen with me. , let's talk with him for a while." Zu Xin refused, saying that he had something to say.

Fan Yu thought it was because Zu Xin hated the fat man for his frivolous behavior in the brothel that day, and even the friend who brought the fat man—Xia Houyi also hated him.I can only say: "Okay, then don't go there, you should be careful in the room alone, don't walk around, why do you keep bumping into things, have you knocked on something?" Zu Xin said no.

After Fan Yu returned to the kitchen, he was still a little embarrassed when he saw Xia Houyi, because he thought that his family members were so resistant to this person, and it was quite embarrassing for him to be caught in the middle.It’s like a person has two friends. This person knows that one friend is not happy to see the other friend, but this person has to deal with both sides, as if caught in the middle, from the friend on the other end to the other side. From this end, when you face to face with your friends on this end, you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in your expression.

Xia Houyi faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Fan Yu a few more times, and then at the wall separating the kitchen from the room on the other side. He didn't ask anything, didn't mention this matter, just chatted with Fan Yu casually, and said he was going to leave.

Xia Houyi was thinking on the way back, after that person was rescued by Fan Yu, he has been recuperating quite well in Fan Yu's house, and he looks more radiant and complexion than before.It's just that his temper has been cultivated. Maybe he thinks that Fan Yu treats him well and lets him do everything. He doesn't even have a little courtesy. When he sees him, it's like seeing an enemy. When I saw him, I was still very gentle and weak.

Xia Houyi thought that it was the sound of this thing falling down and that thing falling down in the room before, maybe it was the person who wanted to chase away the guests, although he was not completely sure, but in terms of feeling, it seemed to bring It gave him such a feeling.

Xia Houyi thought: Maybe, we should tell Ji Huai about the fact that that impolite person was raised here to become more and more white and tender.

Ji Huai is the "fat man" in Fan Yu's mouth, that is, Xia Houyi's friend, a man who was a bit unruly to Zu Xin in the brothel in the past, and the fourth son of Caidan Jinwu. Hou Mian's third younger sister's uncle was related to their Ji family because of the relationship between Chonghou's family and their Ji family - Chonghou Mian's third younger sister married Ji Huai's second elder brother, Ji Zhu.

It seems that this is another man who has a lot of labels in Fan Yu's heart, but it is estimated that he will never be cleansed in Fan Yu's heart because Fan Yu has always attached the darkest and most unbearable label to him—— —Dead perverted pedophile!

Therefore, whenever Fan Yu thinks of this person in his heart, the feeling of stinginess only aimed at this person "spontaneously arises" and is "sincere".
