She could only continue searching, and after walking for another fifteen minutes, she unexpectedly ran into Kong Wei.
Then, the unlucky Kong Wei got entangled with her.
"Kong Wei, where are you planning to perform? I'll be your backup dancer; I'm pretty good at folk dance."
Kong Wei: He was just wandering around the roadside, trying to find a suitable place to perform, but he never expected to be so unlucky as to run into Su He.
"I don't plan to perform during the day. There aren't many people on the streets right now. I'll do it tonight."
Su He said with exasperation, "Kong Wei, I'm not trying to be mean, but how can you be so unambitious? We need to make money tonight, and we can't waste the daytime. Come on, let's find a suitable place to perform."
Kong Wei: ...To be honest, he didn't want to, but he was being pulled along by Su He and couldn't resist at all.
Then he resigned himself to his fate.
He did whatever Su He asked him to do, as long as he kept his distance. Unfortunately, Su He wasn't a reliable person. The two of them stood there alone, attracting not a single person. They didn't even get a second glance, let alone make any money.
...
When Li Ruan and Master Qian returned to the small garden, the old lady who had gone to get the rice cooker had already returned.
"How can it be repaired?"
"It can be repaired," said Li Ruan. "The thermostat is fine; the problem is with the part that broke, Master Qian." She then looked at Master Qian and asked, "Master Qian, how much does it cost to replace the thermostat?"
[You don't have anything cheaper where you are. It's four yuan a serving, eight vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, and the rice is enough, you can't ask for more. It's definitely enough to fill you up.]
Master Qian insisted on taking Li Ruan to eat a local specialty boxed meal.
Master Qian calmly waved his hand, "I'll take it, I'll take it. Thanks to him, you repaired eight refrigerators and two air conditioners this morning, plus a few large parts. You'll earn less than you ever will in the future, so you can keep it."
“Master Qian, you’ve collected a total of 1328 yuan. You can keep half of it, and the rest is yours.”
[The camera just panned across the store; next door is a self-service dumpling shop, priced at 19.9 yuan per person. At first, you might have thought it was just a random price, but compared to the price of the boxed lunch, it seems to be true.]
[Ha, that's complicated! The parts are indeed only worth ten dollars, or even less, but finding out where the problem lies is worth forty dollars, or even less.]
Slowly, another 100 yuan is in my hands.
Master Qian: "Give me a hundred. You just love fixing rice cookers for people. Those things are troublesome, but you still make some money."
"If you're going to eat, then get out. Someone's offering you food. He can say that because he has no other choice. These low-level workers cherish even a 70-yuan boxed lunch. Who's good at sweet talk? It's only because we don't have money."
The old lady said, "Why is it so complicated? Go to the security booth at the gate and try plugging it in. You'll be back in a bit."
Master Qian smiled broadly, thinking, "Who would be upset if they earned less money?"
Old lady: "Change it, change it, if we change it, no, after we change it, the old pot will be fine again after two days, right?"
While the comments were buzzing, a few young men and women carrying things came out from outside the area and surged towards the large garden. They had all seen the message that Young Master Li had posted in the owners' group. Master Qian took a look and saw the bad news: a job had come!
"The light under your electric griddle is on, and it can be cooled. See if it can be repaired."
Originally, Master Qian, who was supposed to be quiet, also had some free time, so I was assigned to repair these small appliances that had been moved. The two of us worked until dawn before we were finally able to stop and catch our breath.
There were no small bones, 7-Up meatballs, braised pork, fried ribbonfish, or braised spare ribs. There was enough rice, but add it sparingly.
A dozen or so people surrounded Li Ruan.
"It's alright, it's alright. I knew you would come back as soon as I saw your car here."
Upon hearing this, the old woman realized the child knew his stuff, and her face broke into a wide smile. "This is what your son bought in *country. It's worth a little over 2400 yuan."
Li Ruan then looked at the old lady and asked, "Do you still want to exchange it for a hundred?"
To be honest, the food was pretty good, definitely worth the price.
That's definitely your rice cooker; you'd be perfectly willing to spend that hundred yuan to fix it.
[You just checked the local wages and cost of living. Cleaning jobs only pay 1700 to 1700 yuan, while waiters earn 2000 to 8000 yuan. A 70-yuan boxed lunch is considered low-cost for us.]
As Li Ruan spoke, she rummaged through Master Qian's toolbox and took out a new 10A thermostat fuse to replace it. Then she reassembled the rice cooker, saying, "Take it back and try turning it on to boil water. If there are any problems, you can pay me back."
"I don't have your vacuum cleaner yet. Your daughter bought it. It's just past its expiration date. I hope he can take a look and see why it's still working."
Master Qian glanced at Li Ruan and said, as usual, half for each of them.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, ma'am."
[This makes me hungry! How come you don't have such cheap boxed lunches where you are?]
"How could that be? After replacing it, it'll be as good as new. As long as it's used to its best, it can last a long time."
Li Ruan took the rice cooker from the old lady's hand. "Your rice cooker is not cheap, and the rice cooked in this pot is very good, with each grain distinct."
Seventy yuan for eighty dishes to choose from, all you can eat.
Li Ruan was amused by this and picked up a screwdriver to remove the screws.
For small items like refrigerators and color TVs, you can easily get them for around 800 yuan by simply disassembling and replacing a part.
After saying that, the old lady grabbed the rice cooker and ran off with her short legs.
"Girl, are you coming again tomorrow? If he comes, how about you split everything with him, except for the initial investment?"
Can you guarantee the hygiene of something that's so cheap? You'll eat something that's cheap anyway.
Good news: They're all big items! If I hadn't fixed them, I wouldn't have been able to, and if I hadn't been willing to fix them.
Seeing my expression, Li Ruan immediately comforted me, "Master, you rest, you do it."
Li Ruanying stuffed half of it into Master Qian's hand, saying, "Consider that as the rental fee for your tools. Thank you. With that, you've made a little over a hundred yuan, which is enough for you."
Pear Soft: ...Well, it really is here.
“Young lady, Old Li said he can repair electronic products. You don’t have a tablet and want to put a Buddhist scripture on it. He can help you with that. If you’re worried about asking him for help for nothing, you can pay him.”
Comments: [That makes sense! Repairing appliances is incredibly profitable. That big part probably costs ten yuan, and you can make a hundred in the blink of an eye.]
Li Ruan readily agreed to each request. Those that weren't worth repairing were repaired, and those that were repaired were explained clearly to the customer. However, Li Ruan was quick but slow in repairing and had a bad service attitude. Soon, a large crowd gathered there, and fewer and fewer people wanted their appliances repaired.
About ten minutes ago, the old lady came back. "Girl, this is really bad. The water got cold in a little while. You waited for a while and the circuit breaker tripped and the lights went out. This is really bad. Come on, give him the money."
