Chapter 17: I want to be a peddler

Views:

For two full months, Wu Suowei shut himself up in Jiang Xiaoshuai's clinic, reflecting on his tragic life in the past few years, summing up experiences and lessons, and laying a solid foundation for a new life in the future.

During the day he buys food for Jiang Xiaoshuai, sweeps the floor, cleans up the house... and stays at the clinic at night. Jiang Xiaoshuai paid Wu Suowei a salary, but Wu Suowei didn't accept it, as long as Jiang Xiaoshuai gave him a place to live, he would take care of his food. Every morning when Jiang Xiaoshuai came to the clinic with a yawn, Wu Suowei had already run 5 kilometers and cleaned up the clinic.

In Jiang Xiaoshuai's eyes, Wu Suowei seemed to have been reborn.

I was skinny some time ago, and now I've been exercising like crazy, and the loose skin has been replaced by lean muscles. The contours of his face became clearer, his facial features became clearer and clearer, and the fierceness in his eyes always made Jiang Xiaoshuai, a master, agitated.

"I plan to start as a peddler, and after I have saved enough money, I will open a door."

Jiang Xiaoshuai poked the table with a ballpoint pen, his heroic eyes projected a tacit light of approval.

"That's the way, just work harder, by the way, do you know how to yell?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"Call out and I'll listen."

"Sharpen the scissors—grab the kitchen knife—"

The age-old yell really made Wu Suowei yell a bit, Jiang Xiaoshuai was amused and laughed, and Wu Suowei grinned along with him. Jiang Xiaoshuai was taken aback, as if he hadn't seen Wu Suowei smile without fear for a long time.

"Hey, I asked you to change your way of life. I don't know if it helped you or hurt you." Jiang Xiaoshuai remembered that when Wu Suowei first came here, although he was a little careless, he always lived happily.

Wu Suowei said to Jiang Xiaoshuai very seriously: "It's better to be more sensible, but don't worry, I will still treat you the same as before. As long as you don't resist, I will treat you alone when I see Tian'er smiling at you." laugh."

Jiang Xiaoshuai rested his forehead and stared at the table, why was he a little moved

"Oh, by the way, it's not that easy to be a peddler, are you ready?"

Wu Suowei's eyes showed a firm look, "I've been preparing for a while now."

Jiang Xiaoshuai was slightly taken aback, "What are you preparing? Why didn't I see it?"

"Didn't I run every day? Long-distance running, sprinting, running with a sandbag, running with a pot..."

"It's worth it..." Jiang Xiaoshuai interrupted Wu Suowei, "Don't think about how to hide from the city management, first think about what to sell, you must have a plan, right?"

Wu Suowei pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I want to pick the easy ones first, the cost of clothing, shoes and hats is too high, and it's too troublesome to pick up the goods. Vegetables and fruits are inconvenient to transport, and they will rot if they can't be sold. I want to sell them early , but I don’t have any skills, I can’t fry fried dough sticks, I can’t bake pies, after much deliberation, I can only sell porridge.”

"It's not bad to sell porridge." Jiang Xiaoshuai said, "It's relatively simple to cook porridge. Half a liter of millet can cook a big pot. You only need to buy a big bucket, a spoon, and some plastic cups. The cost is not high."

Wu Suowei nodded, "That's what I thought."

In the evening, Wu Suowei went to the grain store to carry a bag of millet and came back. Jiang Xiaoshuai helped him buy pots and pans. After everything was ready, the two of them tried it in the clinic.

Although Wu Suowei's family is not rich, but there are two older sisters in the family, their academic performance is good, and they seldom do housework. Not to mention Jiang Xiaoshuai, there is only such a single seedling in the family, how can he be willing to manipulate it. The two stood in front of the gas clumsily, and finally cleaned out the rice, poured water and started the fire.

"Let's put some soda noodles, my mother always put soda noodles when cooking porridge." Wu Suowei said.

Jiang Xiaoshuai put a spoonful of alkaline noodles in it.

"It seems too sticky, put some water."

Wu Suowei poured a bowl of water into it.

"It's too watery, do you want to put some more rice?"

Jiang Xiaoshuai grabbed a handful of rice and went in.

"Look, did you put in too much? Add some water."

"..."

The two of you added one bowl to another, and originally planned to cook two bowls to try, but ended up cooking a big pot.

"I think it's almost done." Jiang Xiaoshuai said.

Wu Suowei rubbed his hands together, and first filled a bowl for Jiang Xiaoshuai.

"How does it taste?" Wu Suowei asked.

The porridge was too hot, Jiang Xiaoshuai only took a sip.

"A little watery, but very fragrant."

Wu Suowei also took a sip, agreeing with Jiang Xiaoshuai's point of view, "It's really not sticky enough, I'll add some more rice when I boil it tomorrow."

"Don't add more, can you still make money if you add it? We only spent two catties of millet for cooking a pot of porridge. If you cook it like this, a bag of millet can't cook a bucket of porridge. Add plastic cups, plastic bags You've been busy all day."

Wu Suowei frowned, "I see that the millet porridge sold on the street is quite sticky. Could it be that we didn't boil it long enough?"

Jiang Xiaoshuai snorted coldly, "That's because food glue was added to it."

"You mean..." Wu Suowei narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Xiaoshuai leaned his elbows on the door frame, looking cool, "What are you afraid of? Nowadays, many food glues are healthy and beneficial to the human body. I am also a doctor anyway, can I fool you?"

If in the past, Wu Suowei rejected Jiang Xiaoshuai just by definition, how could we do such a wicked thing? Ordinary people buy our porridge for convenience and peace of mind, how can you adulterate it? Doing business should pay attention to honesty, and you can’t deal with it blindly. What is more valuable than money is the trust between people...

But now, Ai Nima what! I can recognize money, what's the matter

Teng Teng Teng... a few strides to the door.

"Wait for me, I'll wholesale a box right now!"

Jiang Xiaoshuai shouted from behind, "Remember, buy the cheapest one!"
