Return To 1998

You're young, but you know a lot!

Ge Liangcai next to him actually answered, Tongdao Xu was a little surprised, turned his face to look, but saw his cousin Ge Liangcai stood up, turned around and walked away, waving his hand at him, I'll go first, after get off work at night, I'll go to your place for a drink !gone!

Did it just go away?

Looking at the back of Ge Liangcai leaving alone, Tongdao Xu narrowed his eyes for a while, then got up and said to Xu Tonglin who had been waiting not far away, Go! Go and buy a refrigerator!

Buying a refrigerator went well, uh, to be precise—they bought a display case.

This kind of display cabinet, such as Mala Tang, Maocai and small restaurants, is liked to use, because the cabinet doors are all transparent glass, what kind of dishes are placed inside, customers can see the inside clearly without opening the cabinet door, It is convenient for guests to choose dishes.

For a second-hand display cabinet of 500 yuan, Tongdao Xu did not bargain, but asked the boss to write him a one-year warranty card, and... help him deliver the display cabinet to his door.

Probably because he didn't bargain, the boss happily agreed.

On the way back, Xu Tongdao rode an old tricycle with Xu Tonglin and led the way. The owner of the electrical repair shop, driving a small truck, followed behind.

When they approached the place where Tongdao Xu and the others set up their stall recently, Tongdao Xu suddenly noticed that there was an inconspicuous small newsstand at a distance of about 30 to 40 meters away from where they set up their stall every night.

These days, such small green newsstands are not uncommon on the streets of the county town.

Generally, in addition to selling newspapers and magazines, they also sell melon seeds, beverages, mineral water, and small things like cigarettes and chewing gum.

Because such newsstands are very common, and because Xu Tongdao usually has no interest in buying newspapers, magazines, etc., so he has set up a stall nearby for so many days, but he has never noticed that there is a small newsstand here.

And some kiosks... are open all night.

Of course, the all-night operation is not the point. The point is that the newsstands that are open all night are generally powered on.

Since he hadn't noticed there was a newsstand before, he wasn't sure if the small newsstand was open all night, but...

He suddenly parked the tricycle in front of the small newsstand, turned his head and raised his hand to signal the driver of the pickup truck behind him, the owner of the electrical repair shop, to wait.

What's wrong?

Xu Tonglin asked in doubt.

Wait for me here!

Xu Tongdao did not explain to him, jumped off the tricycle, walked quickly to the front of the newsstand, and said to the round-faced middle-aged woman who was knitting a sweater, Auntie! Bring me a red plum bag!

Oh well!

The middle-aged woman put down the sweater in her hand and gave Xu Tongdao a bag.

When Xu Tongdao handed her the money, he pretended to be chatting and asked with a smile, Auntie, are you open at night here?

The middle-aged woman smiled and gestured to the coal stove at the door of the newsstand with her chin, I have all my meals and lodging here, you think I'm not open at night?

In fact, Tongdao Xu noticed the coal stove just now. At this time, he confirmed his guess and immediately asked: Then you have water and electricity connected here?

The middle-aged woman took the money he handed over, sat back in place, picked up the sweater and continued to knit, and replied casually without raising her head: The water is not running, I will go to the relative's house across the road to pick up a bucket of water. It will last all day, but the electricity must be on! Don't you see a small TV in here!

Saying that, she pouted towards the corner of the newsstand.

Following the direction of her nuzui, Tongdao Xu saw a very small TV, square and upright, maybe only 20 cm in length and width.

The smile on Xu Tongdao's face became much thicker.

Like a great magician who has been single for 30 years, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman dressed in cool clothes.

Then... Auntie, can I discuss something with you?

The smile on Xu Tongdao's face at this time was absolutely brilliant.

The middle-aged woman looked up in surprise, frowned and asked, You young man, what can I discuss with me? Tell me about it!

Tongdao Xu just wanted to see it, and revealed his true intentions - he wanted to connect a wire in this newsstand every night to power his display cabinet, and he promised to give the other party fifty dollars a month. electricity bill.

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was still hesitating, Tongdao Xu added another weight - 60 yuan per month for electricity bills. In addition, if the other party has anything here, he can help, and let the other party call him.

The middle-aged woman was amused by his promise.

The expression on his face also loosened a lot. After curiously asking what Xu Tongdao wanted to do to connect the wires from him, he finally nodded in agreement.

Tongdao Xu was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

He then discussed with her that his display cabinet is now placed next to her newsstand, and every night when he finishes setting up the stall, he will cover it with an oilcloth and ask her to take care of it.

When this request was mentioned, the middle-aged woman hesitated again.

When Xu Tongdao saw it, he felt helpless, but he happily added weight to his mouth, and offered to pay another 20 yuan a month for hard work, which made the middle-aged woman smile again and agreed.

While he was negotiating with the middle-aged woman in the newsstand, Xu Tonglin kept watching and listening. The owner of the electrical repair shop on the pickup truck also lowered the window glass and listened curiously while smoking a cigarette.

It was Xu Tongdao's move, which was too unexpected.

Also, it seems a little too generous.

Not only do I give the other party 60 yuan for electricity bills every month, but I also give the other party 20 yuan per month for hard work, which is 80 yuan in this month!

Ordinary people can't bear it.

Especially Xu Tonglin, when he thought that the room they rented was only 80 yuan per month, his brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth several times to discourage Xu Tongdao, but he saw Xu Tongdao smiling and talking to the newsstand. The woman in the room said good things, but he finally held back.

Putting the display cabinet next to the newsstand, Xu Tongdao greeted Xu Tonglin to get on the car, pedal the old tricycle, and buy a rain-proof tarpaulin.

On the way, Xu Tonglin finally couldn't help but ask: Xiaodao, we have so much money to buy a display cabinet, you can rest assured that it is outside every day? What if it is stolen? It was bought for 500 yuan!

In his eyes, five hundred yuan is not a small sum of money.

But in the eyes of the reborn Xu Tongdao, although he is not rich now, he really doesn't think that five hundred yuan is too much.

Most importantly, he thinks it's worth it!

When there are no refrigerators or display cabinets in this other barbecue stall, if there is a display cabinet that is powered on every night at his booth, and there are all kinds of meat and vegetarian dishes, it will be awesome. Immediately it will be different.

As long as you can grab more customers every night, what is a second-hand display cabinet that costs 500 yuan?

Get the money back in no time!

As for the display cabinet will be stolen?

Not to mention that the proprietress of the newsstand promised to help him watch it, and he also thought about it. After a while, he would go to the junkyard to buy a big iron chain, and then buy a big lock to find a way to lock the display cabinet in the There, people can't easily steal.

As long as you are willing to use your brain, the solution will always be more difficult than the difficulty.

He is already looking forward to how much business can improve after today...
