I can't climb higher than you [Rebirth]

Wei Yu doesn't know how to appreciate, but he can clearly see his father's meticulous care. On the blueprints he drew, there are small scars on the roots of the trees that increase the authenticity, which can be clearly seen on the wood carvings.

Through a small wood carving, Wei Yu saw his father with a smile in his eyes, holding a tool, and dropping it on the wood one by one, gradually turning the dull and lifeless wood into a cute and exquisite little work of art.

He thought it was just a small sustenance for his father, but to his father, he really treated it as a big and important thing.

It was he who underestimated his father's vision and persistence in working.

Carefully put away the tree-shaped wood carvings, Wei Yu decided to buy more materials in a short while, and give his father more tasks, whether it is placed in the store or think of other ways, on the premise of ensuring the health of his father's body and eyes, he Do as much as you want.

It's still early, the sky will be bright, the sun is trying its best to break through the shackles of the night, and can't wait to sprinkle golden light and warmth on the world.

It's a sunny day and a good start.

The light blue wallpaper covers the mottled walls. Two tables and four chairs are used as a place for customers to rest for a short time. During the decoration, Wei Yu specially designed it as an open counter. He can also have face-to-face contact with customers when cleaning dishes.

In a traditional stewed food restaurant, customers are isolated outside the thick glass and communicate with the boss through the palm-sized window. Wei Yu has never liked this design, so he pays special attention to this when he is working on his store. Although it is a harmless detail, But he wants to do his best.

Carefully pour out all the braised flavors. The amount of each type is not large, but the variety is complete. There are varieties that the locals like. My mother said when I was braised last night. If the customer has any requirements for the taste, I must tell her when I go back, such as increasing the spiciness. Wait, it can be improved slowly.

While wiping the counter, the cheerful "Welcome" sounded from the doll hanging on the door. Wei Yu was overjoyed that there was a guest so early, so he hurriedly washed his hands and prepared to receive: "Welcome."

A middle-aged man came in, about 50 years old, very thin, walked slowly to the counter with his hands behind his back: "Are you the boss?"

Wei Yu specially picked out a thick beige coat today, and a light blue mask covered his entire face. The only exposed eyes were filled with a sincere smile. His experience in working multiple jobs gave him the ability to receive customers with ease: "Hello , I am, do you need me to introduce you? They are all freshly made lo mei at home."

The middle-aged man stared at the counter. The new food cabinet was clean. Instead of the traditional white plastic box, there were two sets of food plates in rainbow colors to serve the dishes. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple were lined up in two rows, and the lo mei were lying in them , Refreshing and cute, not to mention the taste, the visual match is good.

Wei Yu repeated: "Excuse me, what do you need? Or let me introduce it to you."

"No, I live nearby. I saw a new store opened and came here to have a look."

The middle-aged man turned his face to look at the still deserted street outside, and approached the counter: "Young man, I think you are a nice person, I kindly remind you, it is not easy to do business here."

Wei Yu was not wary that the other party would suddenly become mysterious, and he didn't seem to be here for shopping, so he said sincerely, "Please give me your advice."

The good attitude pleased the middle-aged man. With a wave of his hand and his head, his voice could not help but rise a few degrees: "There are many neighborhoods nearby with a lot of people. Most of the snack business is controlled by a big boss. Look at those snack bars outside, ramen Lama, dumplings, Malatang, vermicelli soup, and rice noodles, all of them are made by him.”

There is also this kind of thing, Wei Yu didn't pay so much attention to it when he was investigating, but this kind of thing can't be seen on the surface: "Really?"

"That's not it." The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth were raised high, as if he wanted to laugh, probably felt that it was inappropriate, and stopped in time, "There used to be a snack bar nearby, and it closed down not long after, and it lost a lot, that one As for the big boss, looking for someone to make trouble, think about it, ordinary people don’t have the mindset to deal with him, call the police, he didn’t do anything, there is no evidence, and after a long time, no one would dare to open the store.”

Although domestic law and order are considered to be excellent, and the business environment has been greatly improved in recent years, it is impossible to stop the dirty things driven by profit. If what is said is true, it will really be a big trouble.

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and glanced at the counter again, with a relaxed tone: "You just need to understand some things yourself, I can't say more, let's go first, the young man can figure it out."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, this big brother has good intentions, Wei Yu thanked him, and sent the middle-aged man out.

Wei Yu was a little worried. Although he didn't fully believe the other party's words, he would try to prove it, but the store just opened, and if a duck neck was not sold, he might face a big problem. Anxiety is inevitable.

After standing in place for a while, Wei Yu sat back at the counter, and the middle-aged man said that he had no good solution and could only think of a solution depending on the situation.

He clicked on the drawing software on the computer and was busy with another job. He just received a job a few days ago, and he was busy with opening a store recently, so he didn't do much work. In a few days, it would be the delivery date.

While drawing pictures, wait patiently for customers to come to your door.

This waited until the evening, when the sky was getting darker and darker, pedestrians came and went at the door, and some even came in to take a look, but they didn't buy anything.

Wei Yu couldn't help being a little impatient, these are all food, and they should be fresh, if they can't be sold today, they will be discarded, and their family can't finish eating so much lo mei.

Wei Yu had imagined that business would be difficult. He sank, continued to draw pictures and waited for customers. He would not give up until the last moment. This was just the beginning.

Finally, after seven o'clock when the night was completely dark, the pleasant sound of "Welcome" came from the door again, and Wei Yu hurriedly put on his mask and washed his hands.

The two people who came in were an old man and a young man, they supported each other and walked to the counter, Wei Yu hurriedly said hello: "Hello, both of you."

The teenager was wearing a school uniform and looked like a junior high school student, staring at the various stewed flavors in the counter: "Grandma, I want to eat this."

The old man looked disapproving: "It's all junk food, what's delicious, eating more vegetables and fruits is better than anything else."

Wei Yu's eyelids twitched, yes, these things are synonymous with junk food in the minds of many people in the older generation.

Considering that modern people pay attention to hygiene and health, he asked his mother to cook it in the way he usually cooks at his own home, without adding too much, the ingredients are fresh, and the finished product is healthy.

But he can't say this kind of thing, the operator doesn't mean "Lao Wang sells melons", if he mentions it, the old man will only be more disgusted.

The grandson was not happy: "Isn't it okay to buy less? It's not like eating every day."

After all, the old man loved his grandson, even though he disapproved, he still took out his wallet: "I can only eat a little."

"Know it."

Wei Yu was suddenly nervous. This was the first thing he sold in his own shop, which was made by his mother, and it was the beginning of his small business.

This kind of tension is no less than that when I learned the results of the college entrance examination, and when I walked into the company's gate on the first day of graduation, I was full of longing, eager for the scenery ahead, and had endless expectations for my future.

It's just a lo mein.

The grandson quickly picked out the food to buy, three braised duck necks, and Wei Yu, wearing disposable food gloves, quickly cut the necks into sections. After thinking for a while, he took another bag and filled it with half a bag of vegetables.

The old man hurriedly said, "Oh, don't want this."

"It's okay, I just opened the business, I'll give you two a taste." Wei Yu packed the good things and quoted the price, and handed them with a smile, "If you don't like anything, just mention it. If you like it, please come back next time."

It’s human nature to be a little happy when you get something for free, even if you still think it’s junk food: “Oh, thanks.”

The grandson was so happy, he talked and laughed with his grandma and left.

The first business brought in 12 yuan, which was not enough to pay the store’s rent, water and electricity, and his own labor costs. On the first day of doing business, he was doomed to lose money.

But Wei Yu was not disappointed, instead he felt full of energy. He had full confidence in his mother's craftsmanship. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as someone buys it, he is not afraid that there will be no repeat customers.

After eight o'clock, a few more customers came in one after another. They were all residents who went out for a walk after dinner. Two of them paid for things, so until the closing time set by Wei Yu at 09:30, there was still more than half of the lo mei left untouched. .

He was a little worried, it would definitely not be possible to save this thing until tomorrow, so he would bring some to Liao Ran and a few friends who stopped by on the way back, what about the rest?

The voice of the loudspeaker drilled through the crack of the door: "Buy one sushi, get one free, buy one sushi, get one free, come and buy."

Sushi can't stay overnight, the same as lo mei.

Many people gathered outside the door towards the next door, and many people were waiting for this time.

Wei Yu looked at the pile of lo mei left in the counter, sighed, walked over and opened the door, he wanted to discuss cooperation with the owner of the sushi restaurant.

A few minutes later, the announcement on the loudspeaker changed to: "Buy one sushi, get one free and free lo mei, first come, first served, come and buy."

When Wei Yu investigated the situation in the local business district, he knew that the sushi restaurant next door had been in business for more than two years and had a steady source of customers.

Buy one get one free is used on food, and it only applies to things that customers have the desire to buy. If he directly copies the next door, the effect will not be good.

His stuff has not reached this point, and it is much better to seek cooperation than to lose money and not make money.

Strangely, apart from the flow of people who came to buy sushi and then went to his store to get the free lo mei, Wei Yu saw the middle-aged man who came to give him advice again in the morning.

This guy seems to care a lot about his store.

Originally, it was not a bad thing for a newly opened store to attract attention, but Wei Yu was a little nervous because of the squinting eyes of this man and his eyes towards the crowd in the store, and he couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.

The owner of the sushi restaurant is a young girl with a cheerful personality. She listened to Wei Yu's request before and agreed to cooperate without much thought. To her, she just shouted that she could help the neighbors without any effort. The girl also said with a smile: "You So handsome, of course I can help, don’t worry.”

Thanks to the owner of the sushi restaurant next door, the lo mei decreased at an astonishing rate. After more than an hour, the sushi was sold out and the lo mei at the counter had bottomed out. Wei Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

After seeing off the last customer, he grabbed the bag and hurried to the next door. It contained the lo mei he had left earlier, some of each variety.

After some refusals, the girl finally accepted the gift. Wei Yu thanked him again and prepared to go back to clear the counter and go home. When he turned around, the figure of the middle-aged man flashed past his eyes again, talking to the people next to him, without paying attention to this side.

Wei Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked the girl who was about to open the shutter door: "Do you know that big brother?"

The author has something to say: Qin Rong: Are you still my brother?
