The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 111, Store Opening

"Oh, wait, I'll find it for you." Zhou Xing took out his math homework and threw it to Chen Junfei.

Chen Junfei opened Zhou Xing's homework book, and found that it was really done, and the handwriting inside was still neatly written. After taking a look at other people's calculations, he knew that his calculations were wrong.After returning the homework book to others, he checked the calculation again and got the correct answer.

Knowing that he didn't have much time to do homework the next day, Qiao Minglang quickly finished the homework and workbook assigned by the teacher.There is still a lot of time later, so he will continue to read the textbooks that follow.

These untouched knowledge are full of unknown explorations for him. The young man is addicted to the ocean of knowledge and cannot extricate himself. Like a sponge, he is constantly absorbing water, learning more knowledge, and constantly enriching himself.

One night's self-study time passed quickly, and some people heard the get out of class bell ring before they finished their homework.

"Let's go." Zhou Xing stood by Qiao Minglang's table, reached out and knocked on the table, calling him to go together.Looking up at the people next to him, Qiao Minglang packed up his textbooks, got up, and left with Zhou Xing.

The lights in the teaching building were not turned off until ten o'clock in the evening, and many people delayed going back to the dormitory until the lights were turned off.

***

This day is the day when their shop opened.

Before dawn outside, Qiao Mingshan woke up. After getting up and washing up, he left the rented house, locked the door, and went outside.

At this time of the morning, there are already vendors selling things in the farmers market.

After asking a few people, the prices were all about the same. After comparing the fish and prices of several companies, Qiao Mingshan bought a few big fish from a fishmonger.The hawker stringed the fish with a straw rope, and the fish's tail was still twitching, "I'm not boasting, my fish must be the freshest, and you can keep it in the water for a few days if you take it back."

"Good job, good business." After paying the money, Qiao Mingshan took the fish from the peddler and left with the things.

After that, I went to buy other things and went back to the shop to prepare.

Throughout the morning class, Qiao Minglang was a little absent-minded, thinking about the opening of the shop.Chen Jun saw that the students below were distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking. "Student Qiao Minglang, stand up and answer the question the teacher asked just now."

Qiao Minglang stood up, not knowing which question the teacher asked just now.

"Here, here..." Tong Guan desperately winked at his deskmate, pointing to the topic in the textbook.

Zhou Xing, who was sitting in the back, saw that the person in front couldn't answer the question, so he was so anxious that he wanted to raise his hand to help him answer.He sat in the back and looked at Qiao Minglang for a long time, and he saw that something was wrong with this person's condition, and when he thought about the opening of the shop today, he knew that this person might be thinking about the shop's affairs.

Qiao Minglang looked down at the textbook and knew what question the teacher was asking, so he answered it.

"Okay, sit down." Although Teacher Chen's face was not satisfied, he let people sit down, and reminded, "Everyone, be serious in class, don't sit in the classroom, you don't know where you are. "

Knowing that the teacher's words were to remind him, Qiao Minglang stretched out his hand to pinch the space between his brows, and he listened carefully to the rest of the class.

I finally made it to the end of the last class.

Hearing the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Qiao Minglang was inexplicably relieved. When Tong Guan called him to go together, he let Tong Guan and Chen Junfei go away.Glancing back, he saw Zhou Xing waiting for him standing at the back door of the classroom.

The two left the teaching building together, skillfully climbed over the wall and went outside.

"Boss, have a bowl of fish noodles."

"Boss, have a bowl of fish head noodles."

"The fish head is gone, why don't you replace it with fish noodles?"

"Then replace it with fish noodles."

"All right, sit down and come."

Originally, Qiao Mingshan was a little worried that if they opened today, the business in the store would be bad, and no one would come to eat.But later he found that his worry was a bit unnecessary.

When the store opened today, he didn't even light firecrackers. He just pasted a red paper saying "Good luck" at the door, and opened for business.

As soon as the door opened in the morning, the soup base was ready, and people came to eat.

He was the only one in the shop, under the cooking noodles. At the beginning, he prepared the noodles and served them to others. Later, he found that he was too busy to do it by himself, so he had to call the customers to come and serve the noodles by himself.After the group of people in the morning finished eating and left, he had to clean up the table and chopsticks by himself, and wash a large basin of chopsticks.

I didn't take a break in the middle, and continued to be busy at noon.

This time at noon is lunch time, and more people come to the store to eat than in the morning.Some people left after eating, and he didn't have time to clean up the vacant table for the people who came behind to sit.

In the past when they opened a small stall in the town, there were three adults and two children helping with the work, and he felt quite relaxed at that time.Now he is alone, and he has to cook the noodles and collect the money. Qiao Mingshan feels a lot of pressure because he is afraid that someone will confiscate the money if he misses it.

"Boss, I'm not well yet, hurry up." There are still people over there urging you to hurry up.

He responded, "Hey, here we come."

"Brother, we're here." Qiao Minglang and Zhou Xing went to the store, and saw many people eating in their store.

When he was busy walking around by himself, Qiao Mingshan felt the whole world brighten up when he heard the call, "Mingming, you are here, hurry up and help clean up that table."

"Well, okay, I'll go right away." Qiao Minglang saw that there was a table outside that was not cleared away, so he took a bucket to clean up the table, put away all the dishes and chopsticks, and wiped the table clean for the guests waiting on the side.

I asked the guest what they wanted to eat, and went over to tell my cousin.

"Can I help with something?" Young Master Zhou has never done these jobs in his old age, looking at the dirty table, he was at a loss for a while.

When Qiao Minglang saw Zhou Xing, he knew that he was a young master who had never done any work, but they didn't have enough manpower here at the moment, so if this person didn't need it for nothing, he would send Zhou Xing a job, "Go and help me with the noodles. Guest, be careful not to drop your face on the ground."

Why didn't you tell me to be careful not to burn it?Zhou Xing muttered in his heart, feeling a little dissatisfied, feeling that classmate Xiao Qiao didn't care about him, and valued a bowl of noodles more than him.

But despite his dissatisfaction, Master Zhou still helped to serve bowls of noodles to the guests.

Qiao Minglang saw that their bowls and chopsticks were not enough, so he took the bowls and chopsticks from the washbasin with a rag, washed them once with dishwashing liquid, then rinsed them with water twice, picked up the clean bowls and chopsticks, and brought them over Give it to his cousin.

Seeing the sweat on his cousin's head, he knew that he had been cooking noodles here for a long time, "Brother, go drink some water, I'll cook here, how many servings are left?"

"There are still four servings of fish noodles, two servings of spicy and two servings of original flavor." Qiao Mingshan came out from the inside, let his cousin go in, and told the cousin the noodles and requirements the guests wanted.Qiao Minglang nodded, cut the noodles and threw them into the pot to cook, and said, "Well, that's fine, cousin, you go to rest, I'll just come here."

Qiao Mingshan took a sip of water, wiped off his sweat, sat down and rested for a few minutes, then got up to ask his cousin to come out and let him go in to cook the noodles.

"It's okay, I'll just come. Cousin, go and see if there is any good pork belly, buy a piece and bring back a piece of sauerkraut by the way." Qiao Minglang still remembered the matter of promising to make fried pork with sauerkraut for someone yesterday. A smile flashed in the eyes of the person who brought the noodles to the guests at a glance, and also took back the dirty bowls and chopsticks.

It's really embarrassing for this young master.

"Oh, fine, I'll go right away." Qiao Mingshan stopped by to collect money from a few guests, and then went out.

It didn't take long for Qiao Mingshan to buy pork belly and sauerkraut.

After one o'clock, there are not so many people eating in the store, and it happens that they can also prepare their own lunch.

"Zi La~"

As soon as the pork belly came out of the pot, the oil splashed up, and Qiao Minglang skillfully stirred the vegetables in the pot with a shovel in his hand.

As soon as Master Zhou smelled the smell of meat, he ran over in a hurry.Seeing Qiao Minglang frying sauerkraut and fried meat, his face was full of smiles, "Is it for me?"

Qiao Minglang glanced at someone and didn't speak, but the lines on his face were much softer.

"The fish is sold out, so let's eat vegetarian noodles." Qiao Mingshan was preparing to cook the noodles, but found that the fish had been used up.Originally, he was worried that so many fish bought today would not be sold, but he did not expect that they were all sold out in the end. It seems that he can consider buying one more fish tomorrow.

Qiao Minglang replied, "Okay."

Qiao Mingshan cooked three bowls of noodles, and there was no more fish at the moment, so they could only eat vegetarian noodles, but there was still some fish soup left over, and the fish soup tasted good.

The customers who were still eating in the store smelled the aroma of fried pork with sauerkraut and jokingly asked them if they sold it.Qiao Mingshan replied with a smile: "It's not for sale today, but if you want to eat, I can let you taste some. Come back tomorrow if it's delicious. We'll prepare some tomorrow."

"Then thank you, boss."

Just when their dishes were stir-fried, Qiao Mingshan put a little bit of them in a small plate for the guests to taste.

Seeing that his sauerkraut fried meat was distributed to others, Master Zhou felt a little unhappy.

Qiao Minglang glanced at someone, feeling annoyed and funny, they obviously still have a lot left.

There was only the last table of customers left in the store, and their lunch was ready.

"Come and eat noodles." Qiao Minglang brought the fried dishes to the table and called Zhou Xing to come and eat noodles.They didn't even have time to sit down and drink water when they arrived in the store, so the two of them started to help with the work and have been busy until now.

Seeing that it was his favorite fried pork with sauerkraut, Master Zhou finally smiled, "Eat noodles, eat noodles."

"Both of you sit down and eat." Qiao Mingshan's stomach has long been starving since he was busy in the morning, and now he can finally sit down and drink some soup and eat some noodles. I really feel the happiest thing .
