Chapter 196 Good Brothers for Life
The small supermarket in the dormitory park is in a perfect location, on the only way for the students of the No. 1 Middle School to return to their dormitories after school.
Boss Liu of the small supermarket also relied on his kinship with the vice-principal to get such a position.
This was because we were far away from each other and could not overtake the boss next to the school cafeteria, so we settled for the next best thing and chose this small supermarket.
Compared to the school cafeteria, although the supermarket in the dormitory area also has good traffic, after all, it only has customers in the morning and evening.
I just take advantage of the monopoly, so I make a lot of money every month.
After deducting the rent and labor costs paid to the school, the net income per month can be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is definitely a good side job.
Boss Liu’s family is in the business of supplying goods. Supermarket products can also be purchased at lower prices, so the profit margin is huge.
Boss Liu, who is now over 50 years old, is in a semi-retired state. After handing over the family business to his son, he likes to come here for a stroll every day.
Watching these young students coming in and out of his supermarket, a gentle smile will appear on his face.
Sometimes when I am in a good mood, I will give popsicles or something to a few students, which actually makes the small supermarket have a good reputation among students.
The scene that Boss Liu likes to watch the most right now is when the bell for evening self-study in Annex 1 Middle School rings, squatting next to the supermarket and watching the students rushing towards them from outside the dormitory campus gate.
In order to avoid wasting time in queues at the supermarket, many boys have already made sufficient preparations in the classroom before the bell rings.
If you are on a higher floor, you will even pretend to go to the toilet in advance, but actually sneak to the toilet on the first floor to wait.
Just waiting for the bell to ring, he ran out like a crazy dog.
I have never seen them work so hard at the sports games, but in such small things, each of them can stimulate their potential better than the other.
I have to say that running like this a lot is quite good for exercising.
And this group of boys can appear at the entrance of the supermarket in just a few dozen seconds every time, leaping in front of Boss Liu one after another, which makes him feel particularly comfortable watching.
Generally speaking, the boys who run at the front basically buy instant noodles, plus a piece of ham sausage, and some also add a braised egg and snacks.
This set will cost you seven or eight yuan. The more expensive instant noodles can cost more than ten yuan.
but.
In recent days, Boss Liu has discovered some abnormalities.
In the past, every one of the boys who ran at the front would rush into his small supermarket.
But since Monday this week, there are always one or two boys who run at the front, but do not enter the supermarket and run directly towards the dormitory building.
The number was small at first, so Boss Liu didn’t pay much attention, thinking he was just rushing back to the dormitory to take a shower, or secretly playing with his mobile phone.
But as time went by, when it came to Wednesday and Thursday, almost half of the dozen or twenty boys running at the front from the school were running directly towards Went to the back of the boys' dormitory building.
This makes Boss Liu very puzzled.
What's going on with these boys?
Behind the boys’ dormitory building, isn’t that the girls’ dormitory building?
With this idea in mind, Boss Liu looked suspicious. Waiting until Friday night, he saw more than 20 figures running like crazy towards the back of the boys’ dormitory building, without even trying to enter his supermarket. Meaning, this completely made him unable to sit still.
Although this incident has little impact on his supermarket, most students will still go to his supermarket to buy things.
But not knowing what happened always made him feel a little uneasy.
So he stood up and walked around the boys' dormitory building in the direction in which the group of boys were running just now, with a puzzled look on his face.
Then, he saw a queue in front of the fire iron gate.
Everyone held banknotes in their hands, paid with one hand, delivered goods with the other, and exchanged goods with the two boys outside the iron gate.
Boss Liu walked in and took a look, and immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Egg fried rice?"
Twenty boxes of egg fried rice were sold very quickly, almost in just one or two minutes. The transaction has been completed.
The boys who got the egg fried rice were all very happy, looking like they had returned from victory, and happily returned to the dormitory.
But there were also students who were twenty or so in line. Seeing that they had not made it, they immediately grabbed the iron gate railing with both hands and begged: "Brother! Don't you still have a few copies in there? Can you sell me a share? "Please, brother!"
"Uh..." Li Luo glanced at the words 2013 engraved on this brother's school uniform. He was obviously a senior in high school, and he suddenly said with embarrassment. "Senior, you should know, right? We only sell twenty copies every day. We won't sell any more. The rest are reserved for our friends."
When the senior heard this, he became even more anxious. He quickly grabbed a few classmates who had not gone far and bought fried rice and asked them if they could sell it to him at a higher price.
But he was unlucky, no one wanted to sell it to him.
And it didn’t take long.
Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang came here with a smile and got their free fried rice from Li Luo.
The student did not let them go, but Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang did not agree. They said hello to Li Luo and went back to the dormitory.
It wasn’t until Yan Zhusheng and Xu Yinghuan walked to the iron gate together that the student finally approached them. "I promised the girl I like that I would buy her the egg fried rice here today. Please, can you sell me a box? You can also buy it at a higher price. Can it be twenty yuan?"< br>
Yan Zhusheng blinked, looked at the senior, then turned to look at Li Luo, and then tilted his head.
Li Luo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, saying it was up to her.
So Yan Zhusheng nodded, handed over the egg fried rice in his hand, and said seriously: "Twenty yuan, you said so."
"Okay, okay! It's twenty here!" The senior almost cried with joy. He quickly took out two ten-dollar bills from his trouser pocket, stuffed them into Yan Zhusheng's hands, and then immediately ran out with egg fried rice. Never forgetting to turn around and shout, "Thank you!"
Yan Zhusheng looked down at the twenty yuan in his hand, turned back to the iron gate, and handed it over to Li Luo: "Here."
"Why are you giving it to me? You can keep the money you earn." Li Luo laughed. He had already caught a glimpse of Boss Liu at the side from the corner of his eye, and he said casually, "Let's go to the supermarket and buy some snacks. It’s easy to get tired of eating egg fried rice all day long.”
“You’ll get half of it.” Yan Zhusheng took back the ten-dollar bill and gave it to Li Luo, “You should go buy some snacks too.”
"Okay, then I'm not polite." Li Luo accepted Yan Zhusheng's ten yuan and regarded it as selling an extra box lunch tonight, "You go back and finish it early, it's cold. It doesn’t taste good.”
“Okay, bye, squad leader.” Xu Yinghuan responded, pulling Yan Zhusheng and saying, “I’ll give you half.”
Looking at Yan Zhusheng. After leaving, Li Luo and Zhao Rongjun distributed the remaining fried egg noodles to several acquaintances. Boss Liu next to him finally couldn't hold himself back anymore and walked to the iron gate and asked: "Two classmates, I see you are wearing school uniforms, too. From No. 1 Middle School, right?"
"Yes." Li Luo nodded.
"Then you are selling egg fried rice here, do your family members know?" Boss Liu said, "It is somewhat dangerous to come out so late at night. I'd better not do this in the future."
"Don't worry, uncle, we are accompanied by elders." Li Luo pointed to Lin Xiufeng's figure on the roadside, and then said, "We just want to experience the feeling of a work-study program, so we came here to try selling egg fried rice. Sold twenty copies.”
Hearing what the other party said, Boss Liu didn't want to embarrass other students too much.
So he just nodded, understood the situation, chatted for a few more words, and then left.
In Boss Liu’s opinion, Li Luo’s sale of egg fried rice does not have a big impact on his supermarket.
After all, the turnover of this egg fried rice is only 200 per day, and since students come here to experience life, it is estimated that they will stop doing it soon.
So Boss Liu didn’t pay any more attention to it.
In addition, as the Chinese New Year is approaching recently, the family business has become busy. Even though he is retired, Boss Liu is still not worried about his son.
So after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the small business here in Attached No. 1 Middle School, I turned around and prepared to go home and take a look at the big business over there.
Li Luo also breathed a sigh of relief after watching Boss Liu leave.
After all, if the other party really calls for security, it will be a little troublesome.
But...
"Calculate, how much is it?"
Li Luo asked Zhao Rongjun who was standing aside.
“Today I also have 64 yuan here.” Zhao Rongjun took out the money he had saved in the past few days from his trouser pocket with excitement and counted it carefully, “The total is 320 yuan! Including the little pocket money I saved before, it’s already 350!”
“That’s it.” Li Luo took an extra 50 yuan from the money he earned today and took a photo with Zhao Rongjun. In his hand, "Let's make do, it's just four hundred yuan, and I can buy a down jacket for your grandparents. I've been doing this for a week and I'm exhausted. I won't do it next week."
"Huh?" Zhao When Rong Jun heard that he was quitting, he was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "I think we can continue to work. We can work for less than an hour and earn fifty or sixty. Isn't that more than a thousand a month? I The living expenses are not that much."
Li Luo looked at Zhao Rongjun with a surprised look on his face. Seeing the serious look on this kid's face, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
I have to say that making money is indeed quite addictive.
Especially for young people who have never made money before, it is their first time to taste this kind of making money, and they are full of energy. They may not feel tired at all, and they may even enjoy it.
This made Li Luo a little nervous.
"You should have a rest first. There is no place to sell during the two days on weekends. If you really want to sell, wait until next week." Li Luo shook his head helplessly, "Let's go shopping for clothes this week."< br>
"Okay." Zhao Rongjun reluctantly touched the fire iron door, and it seemed that he was really a little addicted.
However, after getting on the electric three-wheeler, Zhao Rongjun solemnly told Li Luo: "Don't call Ying Chanxi and the others when you go back to buy clothes."
< br>"Ah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Although I didn't call, Xixi and the others have already made an appointment..." Li Luo scratched his head, " Everyone knows that you want to buy down jackets for your grandparents, so they made an appointment to go shopping together."
Zhao Rongjun heard a dark line in his head: "...How about you go with them. Well, I’ll just buy the down jacket by myself.”
“How about that?” Li Luo smiled and hugged Zhao Rongjun’s neck, “Good brother, I will stay with you for the rest of my life. With you.”
