Chapter 452: Did the head teacher take the wrong medicine? ? ? ?
After an entire afternoon of accumulation, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the road. Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng walked on the thick snow, one step deep and one step shallow, holding umbrellas and braving the wind and snow, on their way to dinner.
The destination of the two people was a commercial street about one kilometer away from Ruxu No. 2 Middle School. There was a new hot pot restaurant there. Qiao Meng had heard from colleagues that the food was very good, so she ordered
Qiao Meng has already planned tonight's itinerary. First, she and Zhou Yu will go to have dinner at a hot pot restaurant recommended by a colleague, which is said to be extremely delicious, "so delicious that you can swallow your tongue." After satisfying their appetite, the two of them will go shopping, stroll around, take some photo booth photos at the mall, and finally go to the movies.
Qiao Meng was very satisfied with her arrangement. This is how a world of two should be lived!
However, although they reached a consensus on watching a movie, Qiao Meng and Zhou Yu had differences in the choice of movie.
Qiao Meng wanted to watch "So Young" which was released not long ago. She has always liked watching this kind of youth campus romance and sadomasochistic movies or TV series, especially when Wei Chen is the leading actor and the theme song is sung by Wang Fei. This made Qiao Meng, who claims to be a true fan of Wei Chen for ten years, couldn't wait to choose tonight and bring her lover to support her idol.
But Zhou Yu is different. The movie Zhou Yu wants to watch is "The Crossing".
The reason why Zhou Yu wanted to watch "The Crossing" was not because the plot of the film was so brilliant, nor because Zhou Yu was a fan of a certain leading actor, nor because Zhou Yu was a loyal fan of director Wu.
The reason Zhou Yu wanted to watch The Crossing was simply because the movie was criticized online. The unanimous evaluation of the movie was: Disaster! A bad movie of epic proportions!
Seeing all the comments online criticizing the movie in various ways, Zhou Yu became curious. He was usually reluctant to go to the cinema to support bad movies, but this time he wanted to spend money to go to the cinema to see just how bad the movie was.
Even if this is a pile of shit today, I, Zhou Yu, will eat it!
The last movie that made Zhou Yu have this idea was the movie Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains.
However, Zhou Yu only told Qiao Meng his idea, and then it was ruthlessly rejected by Qiao Meng.
According to Qiao Meng, on this great holiday of Christmas Eve, she only wants to eat candy, not shit!
not to mention......
"Spending more than 100 yuan and wasting more than two hours in a movie theater, what do you think, Zhou Yu? It's a waste of money and time! It's a big holiday, don't make me angry, if you really want to watch it, after tonight, I will find a time to watch it with you next time, but definitely not tonight! After tonight, you can do whatever you want! Tonight you have to follow my arrangements honestly!"
Therefore, Zhou Yu, who dared not speak out but was angry, gave up the idea of asking Qiao Meng to accompany him to see a bad movie. He obediently followed the plan arranged by Qiao Meng, and the two of them first went to the first stop of the night - the hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant that Qiao Meng chose is located in a newly built commercial street in Ruxu County. It is usually not very popular. I don’t know if it is because of Christmas Eve, but even though today is a weekday, the hot pot restaurant is full of people, and it doesn’t look deserted at all as usual.
Fortunately, when Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng arrived, a table of customers had just finished their meal and were about to leave, so there was a vacant table. As a result, when Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng first arrived at the store, they didn't have to wait for even a minute before they were taken to the restaurant by the waiter and sat down.
"Do you know what this means?"
Qiao Meng raised her eyebrows and said to Zhou Yu proudly while ordering dishes, "Some people have finished eating just after we arrived. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to wait outside with such heavy snow and strong wind! Even God is on our side! This means that our trip tonight will be smooth!"
Qiao Meng is just like the average Chinese person. He always thinks that what is beneficial to him is real and effective, while what is not beneficial to him is feudal superstition!
For example, if your eyelid twitches, if it is the left eyelid that twitches, then good things are sure to happen; but if it is the right eyelid that twitches, then it must be superstition and unreliable!
Zhou Yu said nothing and just kept ordering dishes.
This newly opened hotpot restaurant specializes in Yunnan-Guizhou yellow beef hotpot. Zhou Yu has only eaten Chaoshan beef, and as for yellow beef hotpot, he has never tried it. However, Zhou Yu has never had any resistance to this kind of beef hotpot, so when Qiao Meng suggested coming over to eat tonight, Zhou Yu also came along wholeheartedly.
"Let's order a mandarin duck for the pot, a plate of spoon handles, a plate of breast fat, a plate of dragon, and add some beef tongue and offal. Is that ok? Do you want to eat anything else? If you want, order more..."
Qiao Meng said nothing, but silently added another serving of beef bao to the menu.
Zhou Yu noticed Qiao Meng's actions, and after taking another look at the contents of the menu, he was stunned.
Zhou Yu: 0.0
Qiao Meng: 0-o
Zhou Yu: tt
Qiao Meng: ￢-￢
After his eye protest was magnificently ignored, Zhou Yu touched his waist which was inexplicably aching at the moment, and had to grit his teeth. He decided to eat more later and have another bottle of Red Bull.
In other words, the main dish in this restaurant is beef, otherwise Zhou Yu would have to add a portion of oysters.
The dishes were served shortly after we ordered them. That’s the good thing about hot pot restaurants. You don’t have to worry about whether the dishes are pre-prepared, because apart from the soup base, everything else is basically raw, and you have to cook it yourself before you can eat it.
I gave birth to you already, and it would be a bit rude to say that I knew it in advance!
The table was filled with dishes. After the pot boiled, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng couldn't wait to start putting the dishes in and preparing to eat.
However, when they really ate it, Zhou Yu and Qiao Meng's comments were completely opposite.
Qiao Meng, who was originally full of expectations, felt after taking a bite that it was just like that. The taste was actually almost the same. It was purely the flavor created by the seasoning.
On the contrary, Zhou Yu, who originally didn't have much expectation, felt that the taste of this restaurant was really good after taking a bite of beef. Not only was the meat delicious, but the soup base was also quite rich in flavor. The sincerity of the merchant was really great.
"It tastes just average. I don't think it's worth traveling so far just to eat it!"
After eating, Qiao Meng gave her heartfelt evaluation. She felt that it was really not worth it. After all, there were affordable substitutes, and the price was only slightly cheaper than Chaoshan beef, so she really felt that this trip was not worth it.
Zhou Yu didn't care. After paying the bill and getting the invoice, he picked up his umbrella and prepared to take Qiao Meng out. "I think it's okay... Now that we've eaten, where are we going next?"
Qiao Meng waved her hand and pointed in a direction, "After dinner, they must be going shopping! Gogogo! There must be a lot of people in the mall today, let's go and take a look! It would be great if there are any activities!"
Zhou Yu didn’t know whether there were any activities or not, but what he did know was that there were really a lot of people tonight.
When Zhou Yu saw the dense crowd surrounding the square in front of the mall, his scalp felt tingling. On the contrary, when Qiao Meng saw so many people gathered in the square, she immediately pulled Zhou Yu excitedly and tried to squeeze into the crowd.
"Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, let's go check it out! There must be an event today!"
Qiao Meng was not very strong, but she seemed to have the strength of a thousand pounds. She gently pulled Zhou Yu over and accompanied her to where the crowd gathered.
"Slow down, don't be impatient! There are so many people here!"
Zhou Yu kept reminding Qiao Meng and was about to tell her to be careful in crowded places when he keenly distinguished a... no, two familiar voices from the noisy surroundings.
...
...
"Special Christmas fruit for Christmas Eve!"
"If the apple is not red, your life will not be popular! Eat one of my peace apples, and I guarantee you will not fail any exams, work overtime, or be single next year!"
"The delicious and inexpensive peace apple, eat it and you will have smooth sailing and peace in the next year!"
"If you don't buy it, you're not Chinese!"
In front of a small stall, Xu Li was working hard to help Ouyang Ming shout to the passers-by. His face was flushed, and no one knew whether it was because of the excitement or because of the cold wind that had been blowing until now.
However, Xu Li didn't care about these details. The booming business had already dispelled the slight chill. At this moment, he was helping Ouyang Ming to sell his goods while also helping Ouyang Ming to pick up the goods and collect the money. He was very busy.
I don't know if it's because of the cold weather and snow, or if it's just not popular in this small county, but there aren't that many people selling apples in the square today. Even if you count Xu Li and Ouyang Ming's small stall, there are only 5 people in total. But there are quite a few customers in the square tonight, so strictly speaking, the competition is not that great.
Ouyang Ming originally planned to sell apples alone without telling anyone else, but Xu Li kept asking him questions, so in the end Ouyang Ming had to tell Xu Li about his plans for the night.
Ouyang Ming had this plan for a long time. He had already bought the packaging boxes in advance, and even the apples, he had already contacted the merchants in advance. The initial capital was the bonus issued by the school.
When Xu Li learned about Ouyang Ming's plan, his first reaction was, "Brother, why are you selling apples in such a cold weather?! Are you short of money?! If you are short of money, come to me!"
I lack everything except money! Just tell me a number, and I will definitely support you if I can! You don’t need to pay it back in a hurry, even if you pay it back in installments over 10 years, I will only pay you the principal!
We were all poor guys from high school, how much money could we be short of? Xu Li didn't care, he just thought of it as a cell phone he bought that accidentally dropped into the river and wasted money!
However, Ouyang Ming had no intention of taking advantage of his friend, and he subconsciously rejected Xu Li's kindness.
When Xu Li saw that his good brother refused, he was not angry. Instead, he continued to find ways to help Ouyang Ming.
"Brother Ming, how about this? How many apples did you buy? I'll buy them all for you. No matter how much you sell, I'll buy them all from you at your selling price!"
Xu Li really didn't want to see his good brother suffer in the cold weather, and even wanted to use his money to help his friend, but he was still
"Li, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary!"
Ouyang Ming really didn't want to take advantage of his good friend. Even though Ouyang Ming knew that the money was nothing to Xu Li, he still didn't want to break his bottom line.
Some things, if they were really done, would sour their relationship and their friendship.
However, it would not be a good idea to reject Xu Li's kindness again and again. It would hurt Xu Li's heart too much. So Ouyang Ming thought about it and said to Xu Li, "If you really want to help me, just buy one as a token of your appreciation!"
"Okay, I really don't know what you're thinking! Why do you have to sell peace apples in such a cold weather?" Xu Li was a little reluctant not to let him help, but Xu Li immediately thought of other ways to help Ouyang Ming, "Then where are you going to sell apples tonight? I'll help you sell them!"
Xu Li had never tried selling goods on the street, so when he thought of this, he immediately became excited.
Ouyang Ming really didn't want to take Xu Li with him, but Xu Li was like a sticky candy and insisted on following Ouyang Ming. Ouyang Ming had no choice but to agree to Xu Li's request.
After school and dinner, the two of them acted together. After receiving the apples, they went to the most prosperous commercial plaza to set up a stall and sell them.
Others sold the apples for at least 10 yuan, but Ouyang Ming didn't want to get a bargain, so he just set a 'low price' and started selling them at 5 yuan per apple. Even though Ouyang Ming had set such a low price, he could still make a lot of money.
"There are 434 peace apples in total. If we sell them all at 5 yuan each, after deducting the cost, that would be a lot of money!"
Xu Li looked at the dwindling number of apples in the box behind him and excitedly helped Ouyang Ming to do the math. Just as they were happy about how much money Ouyang Ming could make, Xu Li and Ouyang Ming heard a familiar voice.
"What are you two doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in school at this hour?"
As soon as this familiar voice was heard, Xu Li and Ouyang Ming seemed to have triggered a stiff monster. They stood there motionless with stiff faces.
Xu Li and Ouyang Ming slowly turned their heads around and looked at their class teacher Zhou Yu standing in front of the stall in disbelief. Their faces suddenly turned from red to pale with fright.
He did not get furious as expected. Xu Li and Ouyang Ming had expected that when Zhou Yu saw them skipping classes to sell apples, he would be furious and yell at them, scolding them for being sorry to their parents and wasting their money.
To their surprise, Zhou Yu did not ask them why they were not attending evening self-study. Instead, he enthusiastically asked them what the price of apples was, how much they were, and whether they were expensive.
This operation made Xu Li and Ouyang Ming a little confused and at a loss.
The head teacher is like this... Is he planning to confiscate our capital too?!
