Chapter 7 Stalls
In one day, Zhou Hai thoroughly memorized the key points of knowledge in the three subjects of language and mathematics in the second year of high school, and began to understand it in depth, and was in the stage of integration.
Remember, this is the foundation of learning.
Self-understanding and integration is the manifestation of in-depth understanding of knowledge, when the true meaning of understanding the meaning and content of each knowledge point, this means that Zhou Hai has come into contact with the essence of knowledge.
However, although studying is important, Zhou Hai also had to take time out and start setting up a stall to make money.
During the first lunar month, business is particularly prosperous.
Business is booming, which equals a dazzling amount of money.
Money, very important.
At the beginning of the school year, you have to pay tuition, firewood, rice, oil and salt, electricity, and the huge amount of food that is increasing day by day.
This amount of food means crazy consumption.
Money, money, money.
Life is inseparable from money.
Survive, and not leave money.
I got up at seven o'clock, steamed ten catties of rice in a rice cooker, served with mustard and bacon, and after breakfast, Zhou Hai went to the vegetable market to buy it, sorted out the vegetables, cut the potatoes, and got ready.
It was eight o'clock.
Then, pedaling the modified tricycle, leaving the door of the house, to the edge of the sidewalk on Chunyuan Road, more than ten meters away, began to set up a stall.
Set up a stall for the first time this year.
The stall was set up, there was no business for the time being, and Zhou Hai was not idle, so he took out a math book of the first semester of high school from the tricycle and began to flip through the records.
Set up a stall to earn money and learn knowledge, without any delay.
At this time, there was a sound from a nearby store, the rolling shutter door was pulled up, and there were mountains of fruits and gift boxes inside, and He Chun, the owner of the open door, yawned and stretched.
"Xiaohai, it's so early today, many people are playing at home, and there is no business this morning." He Chun rubbed his somewhat blurry eyes, looked at Zhou Hai, who was already waiting for the guests, and reminded.
He Chun and Zhou Hai both belong to the same community, and the two families are less than a few dozen meters apart, although they are not neighbors, but the relationship is not cold.
Zhou Hai looked up at He Chun and smiled: "Morning, Uncle He, it is a little bit to be able to sell a little, and it is getting harder and harder to make money these days." ”
"Yes, by the way, have you eaten? I'm here to prepare the following. He Chun nodded.
Zhou Hai thanked him: "Eat, Uncle He, you are busy with yours." ”
"It's hard to make money...... He Chun yawned again, turned around and walked towards the store, ready to make breakfast.
At this time, a crisp and pleasant voice like a yellow bird sounded: "Good morning, Zhou Hai, I set up a stall so early." ”
A girl in a pale pink down jacket came towards the stall, her face was clear, like a vibrant sun, slim and elegant.
"You're early, Huang Li." Zhou Hai nodded to the neighbor girl who was about to go buy breakfast.
Huang Li, a peer, belongs to one of Zhou Hai's neighbors, excels in her studies, and attends the best high school in Rongcheng - Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School.
He is handsome and gentle, and I heard that people are determined to study at Capital University.
Huang Li nodded to Zhou Hai, her face was a little tired, she didn't seem to wake up, and crossed the stall along the passage and walked towards the breakfast shop on Chunyuan Road in front of her.
In the early morning, the vast majority of people eat lighter food, such as soy milk, steamed buns, porridge, and steamed cakes, and few people eat spicy fried potatoes.
However, there are always exceptions.
"Boss, boss, you get me two wolf tooth potatoes, sweet and sour spicy, take them away." Not long after Huang Li walked over, two little boys in down jackets ran over, their faces were round, and their eyes looked left and right, as if they were worried about something.
"Pick up your own vegetables."
Seeing the business coming to the door, Zhou Hai's eyes lit up, he said, put down the textbook, got up and lit the gas stove, and the high-temperature flame immediately scorched the iron pot containing a layer of clear oil.
The iron pot is heating up, and two little boys are also holding tongs and filling the small iron bowl with all kinds of fresh vegetables.
After a little boy sandwiched the dishes, he handed the small iron bowl to Zhou Hai: "Boss, it's ready, add some potato flour to me." ”
"Add me some fine powder." Another little boy with a dish shouted.
"Okay."
Zhou Hai took the two iron bowls, poured the vegetables in the first iron fist into the oil pot that was rapidly heating up, and at the same time, used a tool to scoop up a volume of fresh potatoes and pour them into the oil pot together.
"Wow." When the oil comes into contact with fresh vegetables that contain moisture, it makes a sizzling sound.
After frying, scoop up and put it in a mixing basin, mix salt, monosodium glutamate and spicy seasoning, and then pour in sugar and vinegar to make a sweet and sour spicy taste.
Two portions of wolftooth potatoes, fried in about 10 minutes, then packed into cheap paper boxes.
"That's it." Zhou Hai packed two paper boxes, prepared two pairs of disposable chopsticks, and handed them to the two little boys.
The little boy at the head shouted, "How much is it together, boss." ”
"Twenty in total." Zhou Hai responded with a smile.
The little boy took out twenty yuan and took two wolf-toothed potatoes: "Why haven't you raised the price, boss, you can't do business." "Paying, carrying the wolf's tooth potatoes, the two little boys went away at once.
"......" was holding a yellow-brown twenty yuan in his hand, and Zhou Hai was a little stunned.
No
Can't do business?
"Well, maybe I really don't know how to do business." Looking at the two little boys, Zhou Hai shrugged his shoulders and collected the money.
During the Chinese New Year, prices have risen, even if you cut your hair, it usually costs only 20 yuan, and it costs 50 yuan during the New Year.
Before the Chinese New Year, Zhou Hai paid ten yuan for a wolf's tooth potato, but now it is the second day of the first month, and a wolf's tooth potato is still ten yuan.
Although, Zhou Hai earns at least 6 yuan per serving of wolf tooth potatoes.
Set up a stall early in the morning, got off to a good start, and earned 12 yuan, which is counted as a monthly fortune.
With the business of two little boys, customers came one after another, some eating wolf's tooth potatoes and some eating steamed vegetables.
After the time slowed down to ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Hai's business became even busier, and most of the young people who went to the street to play in front of the stalls wanted to get a spicy wolf's tooth potato, or steaming vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
It's just that Zhou Hai does not have the talent to do business.
When the business was busy, there were basically no guests, and some guests asked, but Zhou Hai didn't bother to answer, so many guests left directly.
Too crowded, too crowded.
Wolf tooth potatoes and steamed vegetables are not uncommon things, and I don't want to wait.
There are all sorts of reasons.
Zhou Hai's business is good, and the business of the fruit shop behind him is also good, with people coming and going, in an endless stream, purchasing gifts and various fruits, and preparing to visit relatives and friends.
At noon, there are more and more customers patronizing the stalls, children, couples, students, adults, etc., and even queues are formed at the busiest time.
"Boss, are you nimble, get me a wolf tooth potato and take it away."
"Okay, if you want it, it's going to be done right away, wait a minute."
"Brother, give me a boiled vegetable and take it away."
"Okay, wait a minute, and choose your own dishes."
