The man led her to escape from a blizzard, so she accompanies him, bearing the label of 'individual entrepreneur', setting up street stalls, opening small shops, and founding companies. The...
This is what Xia Ruzheng could only imagine.
But I didn’t expect that a few days later, a stall selling buns appeared across the intersection.
Xia Ruzheng suddenly felt it was mysterious. He didn't expect that someone else's brain wave segments would overlap with his own.
A couple was doing business across the street. The man was wearing a military coat and the woman was wearing a flowery cotton-padded jacket. They only had two steamed buns, so they probably didn't have many varieties.
On the first day, Xia Ruzheng noticed that the other party's business was pretty good. After all, when he saw the misty white vapor, he felt that the buns were very hot!
Xia Ruzheng was much more relaxed about his competitor this time. He wasn't as servile as Chen Mei, copying everything she did. He was doing things his own way. They were all trying to make a living, and it wasn't easy for everyone, so they needed to be understanding of each other.
But what he didn't expect was that on the third day after setting up the bun stall, when Xia Ruzheng was closing the stall, the wife in flowery clothes from across the street came over to help.
Looking at people wearing headscarves, Xia Ruzheng suddenly felt that this was not the style of southerners at all!
Sure enough, the other party spoke with a Northeastern accent.
"Big sister, let me help you!"
Xia Ruzheng was trying hard to push the cart into the yard. Seeing someone coming to help, he didn't refuse and said, "Thank you!"
The other party said cheerfully: "You're welcome, big sister!"
I feel like I'm from Shandong.
It was not until he parked the car that Xia Ruzheng could see clearly the woman in the flowery cotton-padded jacket. She had a round face, narrow eyes, and looked a bit silly and kind when she smiled.
"Sister, I hear you sound country, you don't seem like someone from the south!"
"Big sister, you're really amazing. You figured it out right away. My husband and I aren't from here. We're from the north. We tried other places before, but couldn't make it, so we came to Guangzhou."
He has a straightforward personality, so Xia Ruzheng nodded.
"I'm from the south, and it's not easy to settle down here. You're farther away than us, so it's probably even harder for you."
"Really? There's no other way. I have to make a living!"
The other party also helped Xia Ruzheng move other things in.
After moving the things, Xia Ruzheng poured her a cup of hot water, and she hurriedly and politely thanked him.
Xia Ruzheng felt that this was the look of someone who had been around the outside world. Although he was a little careless, he still understood basic manners and etiquette. When he visited other people's homes, he didn't look around randomly.
"Sister, you're right. It's all about making a living. Thank you so much today. I'm always exhausted when I'm alone. My husband used to help me, but now he's busy too, so I have to rely on myself."
The elder sister said, "My name is Tian Nier, what about you, elder sister?"
Xia Ruzheng said his name and said, "Just call me Zhengzheng."
As expected, Tian Nier called her Zheng Zheng affectionately.
Tian Nier was a very outgoing person. She said that she was running a bun stall across the street and might be competing with Xia Ruzheng for business. She felt a little embarrassed, so she came over to talk to Xia Ruzheng.
Xia Ruzheng was a little surprised by such frankness. He smiled and said, "Look at what you said, Sister Tian. We are all businessmen. It's always been your turn to take a little bit, and I take a little bit. If everyone is as polite as you, how can we still do business? But our two families sell different things, so it's not a big deal."
Tian Nier said, "Big sister, you are so kind! My husband and I only have this little skill, we can only make buns. We saw that there weren't many people selling buns here, so we came to give it a try! Big sister, I see that your business seems to be doing well, you are really talented!"
Xia Ruzheng also praised them, and Tian Nier, who was already blushing, blushed even more.
After sitting for a while, Tian Nier put down the cup and said, "I've been here for too long. I have to go back to look after the stall. I can't let him sit there alone in the cold wind."
Xia Ruzheng said, "Okay, you guys should pay attention next time and see how much you can sell every day. Then, we estimate that if we make so much, it's time to close the stall by now. Most of the people buying breakfast will have already left."
Tian Nier thanked him again and then ran away in a hurry.
Xia Ruzheng absolutely, compared to competitors like Chen Mei, Tian Nier is indeed much more adorable.
When talking about this with Wen Zhichao, Xia Ruzheng was still smiling.
Wen Zhichao asked, "Aren't you worried that others will steal your business?"
Xia Ruzheng said, "Some customers will definitely be diverted, but in the long run, some people like to eat buns. After getting used to not having breakfast, maybe one day they'll change their taste and want to try my fried dough sticks or something. That will still bring me business, right?"
