Chapter 31: The wish comes true and leaves the squatter (please read on Tuesday)
Starting a business can always make people busy until the sky is dark. Each new warehouse requires his own personal investment in the initial stage. Go and find a suitable location for mouse hunting.
Even in many cases, it is necessary to organize manpower to destroy the rats with a wave of physics or chemistry after finding their nest.
These all require Yang Wendong’s personal participation. Even Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu are not capable enough in this regard.
It lasted for half a month, running here and there, like an army every day, spending a lot of time running on the road.
Fortunately, because he was better at talking and got along better with the warehouse, and because rats were more active at night, they agreed to let Yang Wendong and his men live in the warehouse.
Anyway, there is someone on duty at the warehouse at night, which saves Yang Wendong and others a lot of energy.
The time has quickly arrived in mid-April.
One evening, Yang Wendong ran back to his squatter home.
"Brother Dong." Seeing Yang Wendong back, Su Yiyi said happily: "I made you scrambled egg fried rice, and added a little braised chicken soup to it. It tastes great."
< br>
"Well, okay, but wait a minute, I have to take a shower first." Yang Wendong gasped.
In April, the weather in Hong Kong was getting hotter and hotter. Especially at noon, the scorching sun made him very uncomfortable.
Every time he sets out from one warehouse to another, he drinks enough water in advance, and there is a plastic drink bottle for filling water, so it is okay to replenish water.
But I can’t control my sweating. My whole body is sticky every day.
Su Yiyi smiled and said: "I have already thought of it. I asked someone to go in and get a lot of water, which is enough for you."
"Okay, Yiyi, you are so smart." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Then I'll take a shower first."
"Well, okay, let's wait for you to eat." Su Yiyi nodded.
......
It is not easy to take a bath in a dormitory. Although Hong Kong is not cold in winter, it is not possible to take a cold shower. If you want to heat the water, you also need to Money, or a lot of time and manpower to boil water.
In summer, there is another problem of insufficient water supply. Queuing up to grab water and even fights at the wells often occur.
Fortunately, now that I have a little money, I can arrange for someone to queue up in advance, saving myself the trouble.
After washing up, Yang Wendong also came outside to eat.
Su Yiyi asked: "Brother Dong, is the fried rice delicious?"
"Yes, it's very fragrant." Yang Wendong praised after taking a few mouthfuls.
In later generations, when the per capita BMI (height/weight squared, 18.5-23.9) in mainland China is too high, a mixture of sugar and oil such as egg fried rice is a taboo in health, but in this era, it is the most beautiful thing Nutrients.
Su Yiyi was very happy, took another piece of braised pork, and said: "Brother Dong, eat more, I bought some fat meat specially."
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded. In a poor society, fat and meat are more Lean meat is more valuable.
"I'm full." After coming over for a while, Yang Wendong was satisfied that he was full. He was really hungry after working so much every day.
"Hmm~" Su Yiyi had just finished speaking, but suddenly she slapped Yang Wendong's leg and said, "Mosquitoes are still bloody. Brother Dong, you have been bitten."
< br>"You're used to it." Yang Wendong didn't care. Only pampered people care about mosquitoes. In the dormitory, so many hardships were put before the mosquitoes.
After working every day, people fall asleep so tired that they can't even feel the blood sucked by mosquitoes. Besides, it's just a little blood, and the itching after being bitten is nothing compared to fatigue.
Even today's Yang Wendong still doesn't care about mosquitoes when he is tired every day. People in later generations hate mosquitoes when they sleep at night, just because they "buzz" in their ears. But in this era, being able to sleep in a quiet environment is considered to be a very high-end life. Even the sound insulation effect of the residential building purchased is far inferior to that of later generations.
Su Yiyi said: "It's good if you don't get bitten. I'm going to buy a mosquito net, one for our family."
Yang Wendong thought for a while, He added: "Don't worry about these days, our current beds are not normal, and hanging mosquito nets may not be able to block mosquitoes.
I'm going to check out the house tomorrow. If it works, we can move out in the next few days.
If there are still a lot of mosquitoes in the place you are moving to, it is not too late to buy a mosquito net. ”
Mosquito nets are not cheap because they cannot be made manually, or they are not as cost-effective as machines. In Hong Kong, where the industry is not developed enough, they are a bit expensive.
< br>"Really? "Su Yiyi asked in a low but serious tone.
The sound insulation around the dormitory was not good. Su Yiyi quickly lowered her voice to remind Yang Wendong not to talk about it too loudly.
< br>
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Yes, we have made some money in the past month."
700 a week. Counting wages and some material input, Yang Wendong can make a net profit of almost 200, which will be stable in the future. At one point, we can purchase less personnel and materials, and the profit can be a little higher, probably around 300.
Maybe this is because this amount of money is not very much for Wang Zhixian and the people behind him. As long as he has achieved results in eradicating rats, Wang Zhixian will readily give the money.
This avoids the point that Yang Wendong is most worried about: whether he has money to earn or not.
"You didn't bring the money here, did you?" Su Yiyi asked carefully.
There are no honest people in the dormitory. If you are not ruthless or don't know ruthless people, you may have been kicked out long ago.
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's all in the bank account. Except for buying things or paying wages, I don't carry much cash with me."
"That's good." Su Yiyi reassured said.
Yang Wendong added: "However, I am not going to rent that kind of residential house."
"What do you mean?" Su Yiyi asked confused.
Yang Wendong said: "Our business requires a place as an office. Now you can barely do the accounting here, but it will definitely be inconvenient for a long time.
So I plan to place it in the middle of the current warehouse , rent a small office We work in the common area during the day, and we sleep there directly at night.
Although it’s not a home, it’s much better than a dormitory.”
“That’s right, Brother Dong, you are so thoughtful. " Su Yiyi also understood the benefits.
“We have no money, so we have to do this.” Yang Wendong smiled and said, “Inform me, Haoyu, and Aunt Guo, and the five of us will move out first.”
< br>
"Okay." Su Yiyi nodded.
......
It took three days for Yang Wendong to find an office with an area of almost 300 square feet in an ordinary location in Tsim Sha Tsui, but in the middle of the current service warehouse.
Then, in the envious eyes of all the squatter neighbors, the Yang and Su families moved some useful things over.
Since then, Yang Wendong has finally achieved his first goal: leaving the squatter!
