Chapter 152 There are all kinds of people!
Xu Qingmeng and the others were only idle for a while at the beginning, and have not been busy since then. Now they have a lot of sweat on their necks.
My hair was also wet and was sticking to my neck, which was very uncomfortable.
Not to mention Xu Qingmeng, who was pregnant and afraid of heat, even Hui Niang was not much better.
Hui Niang looked at Xu Qingmeng and was afraid that she would get too hot, so she quickly took an oil-paper box and fanned her with air, saying:
"This city is a city, it's different from our county. In our county, if a meal costs more than ten cents, we have to think about it for a long time."
"That's not the case. We live in a big place, so it's not surprising. You don't know, if this happened in our place, let alone ten cents, even if you want people to pay one cent, they wouldn't be willing to do so. We are so poor!" said the lady selling wontons.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. You should have a good rest too."
A few people sat and chatted for a while, and the old lady quickly reminded them, saying, "Girls, the stalls on this street are not fixed. If you still want to set up a stall here tomorrow, you have to go to the person in charge at the street entrance and tell him. It's best to pay a few more days' money and settle it early. Otherwise, who knows how many people will be jealous of you tomorrow and deliberately want to take advantage of your popularity and set up a stall here."
Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang were both stunned, then frowned and said, "How can there be such a person?"
"That's right, this city is huge, but how come there are still people so shameless!"
"You may not know, but who says it's not true? People like you are not so bad. But for people like us, who have to pull stoves, build sheds, and drag tables, chairs and benches, if we don't inform in advance, we will be doomed if we have to drag so many things."
The steamed bun stall and wonton stall are fixed. They pay on a monthly basis, so the price is relatively cheaper, and the stalls can be fixed.
Both families also suggested that Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang should stay for a month, otherwise their finally gained popularity and their place would be taken by someone else.
Xu Qingmeng, Hui Niang and the others also planned to leave after looking at the list. After calculating the time, it would probably take about a month.
The two sat for a long time. After they thanked each other, they got up and prepared to pack up and go back.
Just as I was about to pack up, I saw Gu Yunyi coming, followed by Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng holding Yuanbao.
"Why are you all here?"
Seeing that they were about to pack up their stall, Gu Yunyi hurried over and asked her to rest aside. He said, "I have been reading for a long time and wanted to go out for some fresh air. I saw that you haven't gone back yet, so I came to see you."
Zhou Yuanjia also hurried forward to help clean up: "It seems that the evening market has just started, and you have sold out all your things. Business is good."
"These two girls have good skills, so naturally they sell out quickly." The lady running the bun stall said with a smile, and her eyes swept over a few people, and her eyes became more kind.
Looking at the three of them, who looked weak and scholarly, it was clear where these two girls came from.
No wonder it looks unfamiliar!
Gu Yunyi and others arrived, and the ingot was in Hui Niang's hands. With three grown men taking care of it, Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang didn't have to do it alone.
After everyone packed up, they said goodbye to both sides and left together.
As they were almost at the street, the two men told them that they were going to pay the stall fee for the previous month.
Gu Yunyi said: "It was already done when I rented it before."
"Really? That's good, that's good."
When the two of them heard this, they were no longer worried. They went to buy some meat, vegetables and other things and returned to the yard just before dark.
During dinner, Gu Yunyi and Hui Niang helped together. With the three of them working together, it wasn't difficult and they finished the meal quickly.
After dinner, Gu Yunyi and a few other grown men went to clean up the kitchen. Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang sat together and calculated today's revenue.
After deducting the costs, today's net profit is estimated to be around 700 coins, but compared to Gu's restaurant and Jinxiuxuan, that is really not much.
Later, Xu Qingmeng thought that this was just a small stall after all, and they didn't prepare much in the morning, so they were only busy for a short while.
Even though we prepared a lot this afternoon, they were sold out early.
All in all, there isn't much working time per day, and Hui Niang is the one who does the washing of vegetables and cleanup.
Xu Qingmeng thought about it again and thought that if they prepared more in the morning, the profit would be at least half a tael of silver.
This half tael of silver was already a lot in the eyes of others, but if one did manual labor at the dock, one would only earn a few dozen coins a day.
Even if the two families split it in half, the income would still be very considerable.
Hui Niang counted the money happily, laughing happily, and kept saying thank you to Xu Qingmeng.
I thought to myself that I must do more and not let Xu Qingmeng get too tired.
Xu Qingmeng just smiled. In fact, she was just looking for something to do for herself. In terms of making money, she might not be able to catch up with the red chili oil business that she made in cooperation with the noodle shop.
Xu Qingmeng just wants to feel more fulfilled. This feeling makes her feel safe and secure.
Gu Yunyi and the others heard what they said after they finished cleaning the kitchen.
Fang Ziheng smiled happily: "If you keep being so nice, maybe we can redeem your bracelet before we leave."
Zhou Yuanjia shook the water off his hands and said, "Hey, I can make so much money in a day. I want to open a stall."
Gu Yunyi glanced at him and said, "You'd better study hard. If you can pass the exam this time, it will be better than anything else. Who knows, maybe the girl you like will agree to marry you."
Xu Qingmeng suddenly raised his head and glanced at Zhou Yuanjia: "When did it happen?"
"Ahem, well, I'm going to read a book." Zhou Yuanjia felt embarrassed being stared at, so he sneaked away under the pretext of reading a book.
There is no need to talk about Gu Yunyi and Huang Boyang, as they were both the first and second place winners in the county exam.
During the prefectural examination, Gu Yunyi was also the first, and Huang Boyang's performance was also not bad. As long as there are no accidents with these two, there will be no big problem in the college examination.
As for Fang Ziheng, they have become familiar with him these days, and his family conditions are not bad either.
Fang Ziheng's father was a scholar. He had been studying since he was young and had won the first place in the county examination.
Naturally, I am very confident about this college entrance examination.
Compared with several others, Zhou Yuanjia can only be considered as a middle-level person. There is still a lot of uncertainty as to whether he can pass the college entrance examination this time.
To be honest, Zhou Yuanjia really needs to review his studies more.
