Several people in green military uniforms walked in, about seven or eight of them, and went inside.
The leader's back looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't see his face and didn't know who he was. I didn't think much of it and continued eating my noodles.
As soon as Gu Lingxiao entered the private room, he spoke to the waiter who followed him in.
"A large portion of braised cabbage with pork belly, twice-cooked pork, smashed cucumber, and a bowl of mixed vegetable soup! And two ounces of rice for each of us."
The waiter listened and quickly took notes. When he looked up and saw that the waiter didn't say anything more, he took his notebook and went out to arrange for the chef to prepare the dishes. This was considered a big order for the day.
"Captain, you've really gone all out today, treating us to such a nice meal!" Zhang Qian said with a smile, his hands busy pouring tea for everyone.
Gu Lingxiao found a seat and said, "I'll have the waiter pack some steamed buns and pickled vegetables for us. We're about to go up the mountain for a tough battle, so you need to be mentally prepared."
Their smiles vanished abruptly; they now understood why they were being fed so well, but dared not object. After all, they had a mission to complete, and only by catching the bad guys could their mission be finished.
Gu Lingxiao took a sip of tea and said, "Those people were forced to go up the mountain. They had no food or water. If we search patiently, we can find them."
Zhang Qian has a baby face, and his smile is adorable.
"Captain, if we successfully complete the mission, how about we have a hot pot meal?"
"It's not impossible," Gu Lingxiao said, thinking of the prey on the mountain. "We can catch whatever we want, then trade it with the restaurant for some mutton, and we can have hot pot!"
They gave him a thumbs up after hearing this; indeed, it was the most economical way to eat hot pot.
The waiter brought in the food, and they began their eating battle, knowing that it wouldn't be so easy to get a hot meal again.
After finishing her meal, Lu Zhixia went to the restroom and washed her face to cool down. Although she was tired today, it felt really good to count the money.
When I lifted my leg to get on the bus, I realized it hurt a bit; I needed to get used to it quickly. Next, I went with Xiao Wang to the ice cream factory to pick up the ice cream we'd sold that afternoon. This time, our destination was the school, so we were rushing back; school would be letting out in five or six minutes.
Unlike at the train station, there was already an ice cream vendor waiting for us this time.
Xiao Wang walked over and greeted him, casually asking about his price. He was pleased to learn that the price was higher than he had expected and happily walked back.
"Sister Xia, it seems I haven't been selling enough ice cream. If you hadn't taken me to the train station, I would have had to wait at the school gate. I don't even know how much money I've been missing out on."
"Now you know, right? If you're more careful in the future, you can earn more money!"
"Sister, I want to share half of the money I earned today with you."
"Are you sure?" Lu Zhixia looked at him with a smile. She estimated that she had earned at least ten yuan today, and if she got half of that, she would get seven or eight yuan.
"Absolutely! If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have been able to earn so much money, so I have to share half of it with you."
"Don't you feel like you're losing out?" Lu Zhixia thought that this Xiao Wang was worth developing. If you want to expand and strengthen your business, how can you do without a capable assistant?
The prerequisite is that this person is not greedy; you have to find someone who is insatiably greedy.
Sooner or later, I will be betrayed.
Xiao Wang laughed and said, "In this life, there's always someone who suffers a loss. I've already earned enough. You even spent the whole day with me today, and you came up with the idea."
Lu Zhixia looked at him and continued, "If I sell ice cream with you tomorrow, we'll be on the same route, and I'll be stealing your business. You might not earn as much as you did today, or even less."
Xiao Wang scratched his head, finding the question a bit tricky, and looked up with an honest expression, saying...
"That makes sense, but I'm willing to share the money with you."
Lu Zhixia thought the child was a bit naive, but she liked him from the bottom of her heart.
"I don't want the money. If I ever find a way to make money in the future, you can work with me!"
Xiao Wang, thinking of other ways to make money, possibly even more than today, immediately became excited and said...
"Okay, I'll work with you. From now on, whatever you say goes!"
"We'll see when the time comes! If you think the work I'm doing is too tiring, you don't have to be so stubborn as to work with me. Everyone has a different path to take."
"I'm going to work with you. I'm not afraid of hardship or taking a loss. All I care about is making money!"
"Then what do you do with all that money?"
"Getting a wife!" Xiao Wang couldn't help but laugh after saying that.
The school bell rang, and a group of junior high school students poured out.
They started selling ice cream, this time at a price two cents cheaper than at the train station, because one of their competitors was there. So, one-third of the box of ice cream remained unsold, and Xiao Wang immediately decided to go to the train station to sell ice cream.
Lu Zhixia parted ways with him to go shopping, first going to a hardware store to buy an ice cream box.
Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used the last fish coupon in my wallet to buy a grass carp for one yuan and two mao. Sister Su treated me to dinner yesterday, so I had to reciprocate today.
Carrying the fish back to my lodging, I saw that every household had already started cooking, the air was filled with the warmth of home cooking, and children were running around their parents.
When I got home, I saw Sister Su stirring shredded potatoes in a wok, while her three children stood beside her, their eyes fixed on the food in the wok!
Su Lan caught a glimpse of Lu Zhixia returning and serving the dishes.
"Xia, how was your day? Did it go smoothly?"
