MTL - The Era of Hard Work-Chapter 71 Suspension of stalls (recommended ticket)
Chapter 71 Suspension of stalls (recommended ticket)
At noon, a van came from the north and stopped not far from the central intersection. The words "United Law Enforcement Team" on the car made several stallholders shudder. Jiao Shougui, who was selling tapes, frequently looked over there, for fear that someone would suddenly appear. Run down and drive them away.
Lu Dong didn't even notice that the hardwood chopping board chopped with the kitchen knife in his right hand made a loud sound, and skillfully made the braised pork biscuits and handed them over to the person opposite.
Before he could catch his breath, the next person in line had already arrived.
"Add meat! Add eggs!" The man skillfully opened the lid of the box and put in two dollars.
In the van on the north side, Mahan asked, "Head, shall we go there now?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Wang Chao glanced at him and said, "The above didn't let people rush people today. They are all equal to the common people. It's not easy to make a living. When they are busy at noon, wait for them to finish their work."
He is a native here.
Zhang Long, who has a bit of a theoretical level, said: "I'll just say it, the head is the most enlightened."
Dynasty opened the car door, got out of the car to breathe, and could see the expressions of several stall owners looking here, as if the mouse saw the cat.
He took out his cigarette, and Zhao Hu, who came down from behind, had already pulled out a lighter and stretched it out.
Zhao Hu finished lighting his cigarette, looked at the long queue at the intersection, and said, "Dongzi's business is so good, every time I come here, I queue up."
Mahan got out of the car and said, "This kid has a big mind, and sooner or later he is a figure."
Zhao Hu is not without envy: "I must have made a lot of money. Looking at Dongzi's business, I want to quit my job and set up a stall."
Zhang Long, who was driving, finally got down, patted Zhao Hu, and said with a smile, "Can you bear this hardship? Can you bear this crime?"
"I can't eat, and I can't stand it." Zhao Hu told the truth: "We are living in drought and flood, and we are guaranteed income. We are guaranteed to do anything. If you set up a stall yourself, if you make money, you will be your own, but if you lose it? Who will give you the bottom line? Like Dongzi, Come in the wind, go in the rain, it's too bad."
Ma Han laughed: "After all, I still can't bear this hardship."
Zhao Hu admitted: "Yes." He asked back: "Can you eat it?"
Ma Han shook his head, if you want to be able to endure this hardship, why do you do this temporary job, you have to accompany someone to lie on the ground in a critical moment...
Dynasty breathed out a smoke: "Everyone has his own way of living."
Four people are smoking here and there, and a few people who are doing business are flustered and look here from time to time.
The stalls, Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo are stable, Lu Dong is so busy that he doesn't know what's going on.
Qiao Weiguo, after working for a while, pulled out the large scale he brought from home, lifted it up and put it down to practice strength.
Li Wenyue, Lu Dong and Heidan will help him swept the formation, is it alright if you don't work hard?
This person has a pursuit, and his spirit is different. Qiao Weiguo's bald head is even brighter.
The number of people in line gradually decreased, and the last one was sent away. Lu Dong took a towel to wipe his sweat, washed his hands, and just straightened his waist, he saw four people from the Dynasty coming.
Quickly wiped his hands, pulled out a box of Bai Jiang cigarettes, and shouted to the dynasty, "Brother Wang!"
Lu Dong greeted the other three people one by one.
Four people came over, Lv Dong opened the cigarettes, each scattered one, and stuffed the rest to the dynasty, and asked, "Why are you free today, have you eaten? I still have meat and biscuits."
Dynasty took the cigarette and waved his hand: "I've eaten it on the team, all right, Dongzi, don't be busy."
Lu Dong winked and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Dynasty didn't bother, and said directly: "In the past two days, some leaders will come down to check, and the stall will be stopped for a few days."
People have always been helpful, so of course Lu Dong couldn't make trouble for them, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Wang."
Dynasty took a cigarette again and said, "When will it be available again, catch up with the day after tomorrow... No, catch up with the day after tomorrow, you can call me on the pager."
"I know." Lu Dong said, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I will definitely not cause you trouble here."
He remembered something: "I posted advertisements on the trees at the gates of each school, and I will clean it up this afternoon."
"Okay." The dynasty especially liked Lu Dong, and he was responsible for doing things.
Seeing Lu Dong's initiative, he decided to reveal some news, pointed to the small square opposite, and said in a low voice, "The night market has basically been completed. In view of the lack of commercial facilities in the university town and the students' feedback, they decided to set up a temporary market. If there is no major accident, I will put it there, and when the foundation is dug there, and the movement is small, I will start to draw lines and repair the supporting facilities."
He added: "You are the oldest person to set up a street stall here. We will launch and cooperate actively."
Lu Dong understands that this kind of thing must be done with cooperation. If you don't cooperate, you can't stop it. He asked, "How are the booths allocated?"
Dynasty laughed: "You go early, of course it's up to you to choose." He took his last puff of cigarette: "Inside information, few people know it, don't spread it."
Lu Dong said nonsense when he was stupid: "My mouth has always been jailed."
"Okay, let's go." Chao Dynasty muttered: "What is your brother busy with recently? If you don't go to TV University after get off work, go to Quannan."
Lu Dong can only say what he understands: "I want to get a college diploma."
Dynasty understood: "He is in a hurry to improve."
He led the three people to the north, and informed the stallholders one by one that stalls were prohibited tomorrow.
Of course, speaking is not as polite as Lu Dong.
Waiting for the four people from the dynasty to get in the car and leave, there was a dissatisfied voice from the seller of tapes and melon seeds in the north.
Zhao Juanjuan was recently separated by Lu Dong, and she had gotten to know each other these days. She came over and asked, "Dongzi, this light has driven people away, and I didn't say when I would let them back."
Lao Zhao also came over, his face full of wind and frost, looking forward to an answer.
After so many days, Lao Zhao could see clearly that Lu Dong's braised pork and biscuits business, not only did not impact him, but also made his business boom.
Braised pork biscuits are five cents a piece, and his sesame cakes only sell for 50 cents. The impact is not as big as imagined.
I could not sell one bucket of tofu brain before, but now I can sell two buckets at noon!
This business, Lao Zhao has an account in his heart, and the calculation is very clear.
Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "In this way, stop for three days. Then don't pull anything, come and have a look. If I am here, it will prove that you can continue."
Lao Zhao knew that Lu Dong had something to do with the official side, and said, "It's good."
Zhao Juanjuan's pale face was full of smiles: "Thank you."
may be the same as the black egg, the relationship between individuals, Zhao Juanjuan is exposed to the sun at noon every day, but it does not turn black.
Lu Dong remembered something Heidan said. Every year in April, as long as she stays in the sun for two hours, especially when there is water on her body, she will turn black.
The difference between people is really big.
was sighing, the traffic lights just installed on the road changed to lights, and a couple came across. The gray-haired grandmother was wearing home-made clothes, walking in front with a hunched back, holding a rope in her hand, leading a grandfather wearing sunglasses in the back.
The clothes of the two of them were worn out, and the old man was still holding the erhu in his hand.
Before the lights were changed, the couple crossed the intersection, got onto the curb, and came to Lv Dong's booth.
The grandmother coughed, and the grandfather picked up the erhu and pulled it up.
Erhura is not good, it's more noise than music, which is quite harsh.
The old lady didn't speak, she stretched out her free hand and swayed up and down towards Lu Dong's side.
Lü Dong looked carefully, and the two old people were indeed getting old, which cannot be faked.
Just as Lu Dong was looking at this time, the old man's erhu became more energetic, and the squeaking sound made his eardrums hurt.
Lu Dong opened the money box, took out fifty cents, and put it in the trembling hand of the old grandmother.
The grandma collected the money and pulled the rope, but the grandfather stopped pulling the erhu.
The two wanted to go to Lao Zhao's side. Lao Zhao and Zhao Juanjuan had already packed up their booths and rode their tricycles away.
They walked towards Qiao Weiguo again. Lv Dong nodded at Qiao Weiguo because of their age. Qiao Weiguo found a piece of 50 cents and handed it to the grandmother.
After went to the tape booth, Jiao Shougui shouted: "Go! Go! No money!"
The grandmother stretched out her hand tremblingly, the grandfather kept pulling the erhu, and the erhu became more and more harsh.
Seeing this, Lu Dong frowned slightly, knowing that he might have spammed his good intentions.
But then again, after all, look at the old man who looks almost 70.
The two old people didn't leave, Jiao Shougui was in a hurry, and he stretched out his hand to hit the grandmother's hand.
Having set up stalls together for so many days, Jiao Shougui is not bad, Lu Dong hurriedly shouted: "Old Jiao, don't mess around!"
Jiao Shougui subconsciously stopped, looked at Lu Dong, and finally withdrew his hand, took out fifty cents, and gave it to the grandmother.
The two asked for fifty cents from the melon seed seller, turned around to go to the provincial side, not far from the gate of the provincial gate, sat on the checkered bricks, and pulled up the erhu.
The creaking sound came from far away.
Jiao Shougui came over and said, "Lu Dong, those two..."
Lu Dong waved his hand: "It's not worth it, they won't leave, it will affect your business, what should you do? There is no mine at home, don't mess with it."
Jiao Shougui can run to the university town to do business, his head is not rigid, he immediately understands: "Is there someone behind?"
Lu Dong said calmly: "I don't know. But I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, I can't gamble, and I can't afford to gamble."
"There are too many people in the university town." Jiao Shougui patted his leg: "Beasts, ghosts, gods and snakes are starting to emerge."
He sighed: "You can't do anything about your age."
Lu Dong said again: "We are seeking money."
Jiao Shougui nodded: "You can still see clearly."
"boss!"
A slightly blunt accent shouted: "Is there any more braised pork biscuits?"
Lu Dong went back to the stall, saw the big brown bear, and said hello: "Ivan, are you here to buy food at this time?"
Ivan said: "Now you don't have to wait in line."
In the past few days, this man who calls himself Big Ivan will come to buy it every other day.
Lv Dong’s booth was lined up every day, and it also attracted other curious foreigners, but except for Ivan, no other foreigners came to buy a second time.
Dressed well, Lu Dong washed his hands and made braised pork biscuits.
Ivan likes to chat with people in Chinese. He seems to be exercising his Chinese skills and putting away his money. He said, "I came from the school and saw two old people. They are very old and they are still performing arts. It is not easy."
Lu Dong asked: "Did you give money?"
Ivan gestured with his brown-haired hand and said, "Yes, I gave them ten dollars! Two old people, life is not easy."
Lu Dong handed him braised pork biscuits: "Ivan, you are a good person."
Chinese, there are good and bad.
Foreigners are equally good and bad.
Ivan said with a smile: "It's good to help them with a little thing."
Lu Dong reminded: "This kind of money, just give it once."
Ivan waved his hand: "Boss, goodbye, I'm going back."
Carrying the braised pork biscuits, he walked towards the school alone.
Lu Dong could vaguely see that when Ivan passed by the two old men, he glanced at it, turned around and put out the money again.
When he was free in the afternoon, Lu Dong rode Qiao Weiguo's bicycle and cleaned up all the advertisements that had been pasted on the trees.
