Ye Cheng

Chapter 54

A few days later, when Ye Cheng and the others were setting up a stall, Zhong Wanli came over pushing a tricycle.

"Squad leader, what do you think I made for you?"

"Where did you get the tricycle?" Lu Mingyuan and Ye Cheng also discussed about buying a tricycle to carry things, but because the house they rented was not far from the bridgehead, and the house was not spacious, buying a tricycle was difficult. There is no place to put it, and it is basically useless after the summer vacation. It can only be left in the yard to rust, which is a pity.

"My grandpa's, they are idle at home recently, so I borrowed them." Zhong Wanli followed Lu Mingyuan and the others to the rental house, and the tricycle also pushed them there.

"Are you lending it to me?"

"That's right, if I don't lend it to you, why should I push it here? Anyway, it's just two old tricycles. You can use them first. When you don't need them, just tell me and I'll return them to my grandpa."

"It's such a good thing, pie in the sky?" Lu Mingyuan snorted at Zhong Wanli's sudden enthusiasm.

"Tsk tsk, monitor, your words are so ugly." Zhong Wanli shook his head disapprovingly, and then quickly put on a flattering expression: "Actually, the thing is like this, as you know, my sister visits you every day Eating two bowls of shaved ice at the stand, I can afford it in normal times, but unfortunately last night, I was careless, and I fed the pocket money of the past two months to the slot machine, hehe, so, this is not..."

"Are you going to settle accounts?" Hearing what he said, Lu Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. "Two bowls of shaved ice cost six yuan, one month is one hundred and eighty, two months is three hundred and sixty, and 360 yuan is enough to buy a tricycle, brand new."

"Speaking of which, it is true." Zhong Wanli scratched his head. "Otherwise, how about this, can I contribute some more labor?"

"Okay." Before Lu Mingyuan could speak this time, Ye Cheng agreed and patted Zhong Wanli on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go to work."

Just like that, Ye Cheng and the others had another man in their stall.Zhong Wanli's younger sister, the girl Zhong Qiaoqiao, was a loyal customer of Ye Cheng's stall, so as his elder brother, Zhong Wanli worked hard.Every day when Ye Cheng and the others left the stall, he would push a tricycle over to move the tables and stools. After moving, Ye Cheng would make a piece of shaved ice for each of them. It's not so fussy.Sometimes I go back directly after eating, and sometimes I chat for a while at the stall and help with some work by the way.The two of them had to come over to eat a bowl before going to bed at night. After eating, the younger sister went home first, and the older brother continued to work at the stall.

Regarding Zhong Wanli's arrival, Lu Mingyuan has always been brooding, thinking that this guy has bad intentions and must be targeting Ye Cheng.But in Ye Cheng's eyes, he always felt that Lu Mingyuan and Zhong Wanli were very close, as if they always had endless things to say, and they were very familiar with each other.

In any case, it is always good to have someone to help, besides Zhong Wanli, Lan Mu also often comes to their stall to help, sometimes he stays longer and helps them close the stall, sometimes he stays shorter and eats a bowl of shaved ice , said a few words to Ye Cheng and left.

"Who is he?" Lan Mu came again this day, and Zhong Wanli started gossiping to Lu Mingyuan.

"Rich man." Lu Mingyuan didn't even raise his head.

"How rich are you?"

"Hmph, anyway, he's richer than your family."

"Squad leader, you have to understand a truth." Zhong Wanli said to Lu Mingyuan solemnly: "Money is not everything."

"..." Lu Mingyuan didn't bother to talk to him.

"Why is he pestering Ye Cheng all day?" Zhong Wanli didn't feel bored at all, and continued talking to Lu Mingyuan.

"Then you have to ask him." Although Lan Mu hated him, Zhong Wanli was not much better in his eyes, and Lu Mingyuan didn't like any of them.

Ye Cheng's life is really not smooth, every time Lanmu comes over, Lu Mingyuan has to play with him, which makes Ye Cheng wish that the two months of summer vacation will be over quickly, and Lanmu will go back to school quickly, and everyone will go their own way. Different days, so as not to be mixed together like now.

But in good conscience, Ye Cheng and the others should still be grateful to Lan Mu. After all, setting up a stall is still very hard work. The few catties of meat that Ye Ping managed to raise in the past two months have all been consumed in this summer. Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan didn't look very good either, they were both tired.Although Lan Mu didn't do a lot of work, but when he was busy, it was indeed a lot easier to have someone to help you.

So in this situation, Ye Cheng couldn't be like Lu Mingyuan anyway, even if he felt a little irritable in his heart, it wasn't the other party's fault after all, and he shouldn't vent his emotions on him.

But he couldn't ask Lu Mingyuan to accept Lan Mu. No matter what Lu Mingyuan was, he still had the right to hate someone. He couldn't just ask him to compromise just because he liked him.So Ye Cheng had no choice but to be in a dilemma, and his life was really not very comfortable.

The only and greatest comfort is that they have made money. Unlike the previous small fights, this time they have made a lot of money.Because the weather in July has always been very good, there were only two nights of thunderstorms, Ye Cheng and the others set up their stalls on time every day, and on rainy nights, when the rain stopped, they could still sell them, even if they didn’t earn as much as usual. It is also good to be able to sell something for two or three hundred yuan.

In July alone, the net profit of Ye Cheng and his stall reached more than 1, which was after deducting all costs.Of course, only Ye Cheng, Ye Ping and Lu Mingyuan knew this number. They had discussed it, and the others would not say anything, not even Cai Jinzhi. Possibly, the three of them are still children, and carrying too much money on them is easy to cause trouble.

Every night, the business is very good. Every time they sell a bowl of shaved ice or a cup of milk tea, they get money in exchange. The few of them worked hard, and Ye Ping became addicted to making money. When she said that the stall was about to be closed, she would say to set it up for a while, wait a minute, there are still people on the street.

Mr. A Cong’s truth-seeking studio is getting bigger and bigger. A while ago, he took a group of students up to Shibaling Mountains. When he went down the mountain, he was delayed for a while because a student sprained his foot. When he arrived in their town, the sky It was almost dark, and a student said that Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan were setting up a stall on this bridge, and a group of people came over.

The group of students clamored for a treat from Teacher A Cong, and Teacher A Cong agreed with a smile, but Ye Cheng was unwilling to accept the money. When he and Lu Mingyuan were looking for a place to set up a stall in the county, it was also Cong A The teacher provided them with a place for free, and taught them to draw in the future. Even the paper and pens were taken directly from the studio, and he never mentioned money to them. How could Ye Cheng have the nerve to accept him now? money?

Seeing that Ye Cheng insisted on refusing to accept the money, Teacher A Cong did not insist, and told Ye Cheng to go to his studio to paint when he had time. Recently, he is also painting oil paintings. If Ye Cheng goes, he will follow him. Learn by your side, anyway, it doesn't hinder anything.

Ye Cheng was a little tempted. He planned to go to Mr. A Cong's studio to learn oil painting from him on weekends after the summer vacation. If they earned enough money in the past two months, they might not have to work so hard after school started.I heard that learning oil painting is a bit expensive, but Ye Cheng feels that as long as it is within his acceptable range, the money can still be spent.

In mid-August, Tan Xiaosong came. His two legs hadn’t recovered much, especially his left knee. Although he had been operated on by an authoritative expert, it still couldn’t be completely cured. In the future, his My feet can no longer walk like a normal person. Although objectively speaking, the problem is not too big. I can walk and run, but I am a little lame, and my walking is ugly, and I am disabled in the eyes of others.

The school has already withdrawn, Tan Xiaosong is very open, he said that he will be a cripple in the future, even if the school allows him to continue studying, it will definitely be difficult to find a job after graduation, anyway, he has never been in those glamorous places. Disabled people have been found in office buildings.

What Tan Xiaosong meant was that he wanted to learn a craft, but he hadn't decided what to learn, and his two legs were still in the recovery period, so he couldn't do too much strenuous exercise, so he had to keep them at home.It’s just that people who are more open-minded have just had an accident, dropped out of school, their future is bleak, and they are still depressed at home all day long. After a long time, they will inevitably feel depressed, so Ye Qiulan sent him to Ye Cheng and the others. Come here for a few days.

Tan Xiaosong couldn't help much at the stall. Now that he was free from crutches, it was difficult for him to stand still. But Ye Cheng didn't want him to stay at the stall every day and be stupid, so he borrowed an old one from Zhong Wanli's house. The folding table was brought over and placed in their shed, and a stool was moved for Tan Xiaosong, and he was asked to sit on the edge of the table every day to peel lychees, and sometimes cantaloupe and pears.

"Brother Xiaosong, are you done peeling the lychees?" Ye Ping and Tan Xiaosong had a good relationship and would come over to talk to him whenever they had time.

"There are still some, Ye Cheng said to keep them for now, and then peel them off when they are almost sold out." Tan Xiaosong is in a good mood, the atmosphere here is good, and he can also help with a little bit of work, which is better than sitting around every day. Staying in a daze at home, and having to deal with all kinds of questioning from neighbors from time to time, life seems much better.

"Then let's peel the peanuts." As Ye Ping said, she took out a jar of roasted peanuts from the cabinet of the trolley. Before making shaved ice, they had to remove the soft red skin of these peanuts. The fried peanuts are very thin-skinned, and it is quick to peel a jar.

"I'll just come, there seem to be guests over there."

"Oh, I'll come back later to help." Seeing a customer, Ye Ping rushed over to greet her. She is very motivated to make money now.

When people get busy, time will run fast unknowingly. This year's summer vacation is over soon, and the students are also welcoming the day of school registration.There were still a few days before registration, and during those few days, someone approached Ye Cheng and the others, expressing their desire to sell their shaved ice stall.

Ye Cheng and the others were naturally reluctant, especially Ye Ping, who refused to agree to anything, but after they sat down to discuss it, they were all a little shaken.

After all, the facts are in front of them, and their stall doesn't have any high-tech content. As long as the other party is willing to spend some time thinking about it, they can figure it out. When the time comes, set up a stall to compete with Ye Cheng and the others. They are all students, fishing for three days and drying their nets for two days, how can they beat others?

It's better to transfer it to them now, earn a sum of money first, and then wait until next summer when they want to set up a stall again. It's not too difficult to choose another place to pay for it, and it saves money. Move this large pile of pots and pans home.If these tables and chairs are kept in their old house for a year, they will get old to some extent, and the style will become outdated, and they will probably be worthless by then.

As for the cost of the stall under the offer, the other party offered [-], but Ye Cheng insisted on asking for [-], and if there was no [-], he said nothing.Everyone also spread the word, they can think about another stall, but they can't even make milk tea now, and they don't know where to get the goods, so they must find out. Months have passed, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the National Day will be over by then, and this year's business will go downhill.

But spending money to take over their stalls is different. Ye Cheng didn't hide it this time, he just gave them the bottom line of his income for the past two months, 1 yuan, and got it back in twenty days. That's right, the technology package education package meeting, and they also took over the customer base they had accumulated before, and they only made a profit without losing the business, not to mention that they can continue to sell it next summer.

After that, there was no suspense, and the stall was transferred out smoothly. Before class started for two days, Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan did business for another two days. The other party gave 5000 yuan first, and Ye Cheng agreed to let them watch the whole process. Including making milk tea, boiled pearl sago, red beans and mung beans, and even all purchases are clearly written on a piece of paper.

In addition, considering that Ye Cheng and the others are also from this town, everyone is trustworthy when doing business in their own town, and they can earn more money. It is absolutely impossible to cheat people. , if you dare to play tricks, people can kill you at home with a kitchen knife and a stick.So the two sides are quite at ease.

Just going back and forth like this, Ye Cheng, Lu Mingyuan, and Ye Ping actually made nearly 5 yuan in just two months of this summer vacation. A huge sum of money is not a small sum for any family in the town.

However, they still didn’t dare to tell others about this number. When someone asked, they would be perfunctory if they could. Believe it, because 1 yuan is already a lot.Some people may think that Ye Cheng and the others reported less, but few people think about 1 yuan.

As for the family that took away Ye Cheng's stall, it's even more impossible to go out and brag about it, unless they are out of their minds and just spent a sum of money to buy the stall from others, and they can't wait to find competition for themselves opponent.
