Lin Shiheng drove the borrowed car of watermelons all the way to the destination, looking at the sun in the sky to calculate the time, driving slowly, turning his head from time to time to look at the surrounding environment.
Compared with the county town, the city is indeed much cleaner, and the clothes worn by the people walking on the road are also a bit more fashionable, and even the storefronts have a bit of the meaning of the future.
Different from the street hawking imagined by Liu Zi, Lin Shiheng found a cake shop that was relatively sluggish in comparison with the surrounding stores and began to discuss cooperation.
This cake shop is in a good location. There is an elementary school not far from the left, and a hospital on the right. There are many people coming and going, but they only sell cakes. Although it is in the city, most people are still It is more frugal. Instead of taking money to buy cakes and eating things that are gone, it is better to save money to buy new clothes, or buy stationery and books for children.
Therefore, although the store owner specially decorated the store with gorgeous and exquisite decoration, and the beautiful cakes were placed in the glass display case to attract the attention of passers-by, there were still not many people who came to buy and eat, at most there were children's birthdays or some happy events at home. Only then did someone come to buy a small piece to eat at home.
When Lin Shiheng noticed this storefront, the owner was doing hygiene in the store with a frowning face. Although he could see that he was in a very depressed mood, his subordinates kept moving. He wiped the surrounding area without saying anything, and even dragged the ground carefully. several times.
He stopped the car, pushed open the door and walked into the shop. The shopkeeper was taken aback when he looked up and saw him. Although Lin Shiheng washed his hair today, the clothes he was wearing were still the shabby clothes he used to wear before. This is the inner city. No one in patched clothes like that.
The owner was stunned for a moment, then quickly put away the surprise on his face, put down the mop in his hand and asked, "Want to buy a cake?"
He originally just asked casually, after all, he didn't look like he had money to buy cakes no matter how he was dressed. He didn't think that the guest actually agreed.
"Yes, I'll buy two, one large and one small."
Lin Shiheng smiled kindly at him, stood in front of the glass cabinet, watched the owner take out two cakes in the direction of his fingers, and asked thoughtfully, "Would you like to pack it?"
"The big ones are packed and the small ones are eaten here."
"Eh! Good!"
There was a rare smile on the frowning face of the shopkeeper. For him, it would be nice to have a business now.
When he swiftly placed the small cake on the fork, and buried his head in packing the big cake, Lin Shiheng went over to give the money, took a bite of the small cake, and immediately exclaimed in admiration, "Boss, your cake is good, what do you think? Business is not good?"
As soon as he mentioned this, the smile on the boss's face fell again, and he sighed in distress, "I guess I think the price is too high. When I opened the store, I thought that I was the only cake shop in the city, and the business was sure. Yes, I even rented such a good store to see the store, and I lost it."
Lin Shiheng took another bite of the cake, leaned against the glass cabinet, and chatted like "Is this place cheap?"
"Yes."
The boss's face was even more worried, "It's a lot of money a month, and I thought that the cake shop must be doing well. I rented it for half a year and hired two shop assistants. In the end, the pay was like this, the shop assistant also resigned, and the rent could not be Retreat, you can only hold on like this.”
"It doesn't make sense. I tasted your cake. How could they not like it?"
"I can't figure it out either. I used to work in the magic capital before, and the business of the cake shop there is very good. I worked there as an apprentice for two years before I learned this craft and came back to open a shop. Who knows..."
The boss couldn't help sighing again. He was also blinded by the popularity of the magic city cake shop. He was working well there, but thinking that no one in his hometown had ever opened a cake shop, this is a The market that no one has dug up, so I returned to my hometown with money and enthusiasm. In order to open this cake shop, it can be said that I paid my entire net worth and borrowed a lot of relatives. I originally vowed to open a good shop and return home. There is no basis for wanting to pay directly.
"Otherwise, boss, I have also sold things on our side, and I know how to sell them. I will sell cakes for you, and you will give me a commission. For every one sold, you will give me 1% of the cake price. How about it?"
After Lin Shiheng said this, the boss didn't respond for a long time. After a good chat, how could he help him sell things
He hesitated and didn't want to agree. After all, he knew about selling things for a commission, but this stranger made such a request...
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Shiheng raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, "Boss, think about it, I don't want wages, and although you have to give me money to sell the cake, you must earn more. Even if I can't sell it, you have nothing to lose."
The boss is gradually being talked through.
Yes, he has nothing to lose.
"That's okay, you can try it, but how can you prove that you asked others to buy it."
Lin Shiheng smiled, "If the person who comes asks for a piece of watermelon, then it's the guest I brought, no problem."
When he said this, the boss noticed that there was a watermelon in the car parked outside, "Okay, that's it."
"That's fine, I'll go out to find guests now, and ask the boss to take a look at the car for me."
The boss was also kindhearted, nodded and agreed, watching Lin Shiheng leave his store with the big packaged cake.
Although the promise was agreed, the boss still didn't quite believe that the man in patched clothes could help him find guests.
If he could find customers, his store wouldn't be so depressed.
But now that's the case, dead horses are treated as living horse doctors.
Lu Ming from the first class of the fifth grade was walking to school with his schoolbag on his back. Next to him were his two cousins. He was eloquently boasting to them that he went to the zoo during the vacation, not to mention how much fun it was.
"There are giraffes, white cranes, and tigers and lions in there. The tiger's mouth is so big that it can swallow a whole hippo!"
"Liar!"
My cousin, who is the same age as Lu Ming, immediately questioned, "My aunt and uncle are obviously helping us at our house when they are on vacation. How can you go to the zoo without them!"
"I'm going alone, can't I!"
"Liar, you're a liar, I've been to a zoo, and a tiger's mouth can't swallow a hippo. A hippo is bigger than a tiger, how could it be swallowed, and your parents won't give you money to go to the zoo, Your family has no money at all."
"Okay, you're bragging again, I'm going to tell others that they won't believe you next time."
Lu Ming became anxious all of a sudden. Seeing that the two cousins sang and ran away, he immediately became anxious, "No! I'm not allowed! Come back!"
He took two steps and didn't catch up, almost didn't cry, and was about to grit his teeth and continue to run forward when he suddenly heard a squeak coming from the alley around the corner.
Lu Ming was stunned, and he didn't care about chasing his cousin. He walked over curiously and saw a man in tattered clothes sitting on the ground. When he saw him, he raised his head and said, "Children, could you please help me? When I got up, my foot was sprained, and I couldn't move for a while."
"Oh, okay, I'll be right here."
Now everyone's ethos is to help each other. Lu Ming hurried over after hearing this, struggling to help Lin Shiheng up on the ground, watching him stand up against the wall, "Then uncle, I'll go first."
"Wait a moment."
Lin Shiheng stopped him and asked with a smile, "Did you quarrel with your classmate just now?"
Speaking of this, Lu Ming's face turned dark again because he had done a good deed. "It's not a classmate, it's my cousin, they laugh at me."
Lin Shiheng was a little surprised, "Aren't you cousins? Why are they laughing at you?"
Lu Ming lowered his head in embarrassment, "My family is poor..."
In fact, he doesn't like to talk big, but the family is poor, and the money his parents can give is less, but his two cousins like to laugh at his poor family. Whenever there is something good, he will show it to him specially. Only used, and likes to say in class how poor his family is, and some people laugh at him when they see him.
Lu Ming wanted to save face, so he insisted on lying, but he was exposed. It is estimated that when he went to school, he would be laughed at by a group of people as a liar.
In the eyes of adults, this is just a small fight between children, but for Lu Ming, he is experiencing verbal violence every day, which can be seen from the fact that he is less and less fond of talking in school .
"I understand."
Lin Shiheng leaned on the wall and took two steps forward, picked up the cake box that had been placed on the ground before, and handed it to Lu Ming, who was confused.
"I heard it before, they joked that you haven't been to the zoo, right? This is for you, this is the favorite cake of people in big cities like Modu. It is made with nutritious milk and tastes sweet. It’s soft and much better than sugar, and my uncle will give you a glass of iced watermelon juice, and then drink watermelon juice after eating the cake. They have never eaten it before, so everyone will definitely envy you.”
Lu Ming ignorantly held the cake box that was too big for him, and looked up at the handsome man in front of him, "But this is very expensive?"
"It's quite expensive. I bought this at the cake shop on the right side of your school, but you just saved me. This is your gift in return."
"By the way, is your cousin in the same class as you?"
As soon as he mentioned his cousin, Lu Ming was immediately shocked, "My little cousin is in the same class as me."
"There are plates and knives and forks in the box. Why don't you take the cake to the class and share it with everyone? Give more to those who have a good relationship with you, and give less to those who have a bad relationship, regardless of your little cousin. He must be greedy, if he is willing to apologize to you, you will share it with him."
"Remember to say that this is a cake from the magic city. The magic city is much better than the zoo. If there are children who want to eat it, you can ask them to go to the cake shop to buy it. There is an event right now. A cup of watermelon juice for a cake, and when they go, they will know how expensive this cake is."
Lu Mingting nodded with bright eyes. He was a child after all, and when he heard that he was going to be envied by the whole class, he was so excited that he quickly nodded, "Thank you, uncle!! I'll go to school now!"
When he got to the school, Lu Ming really followed Lin Shiheng's instructions and first boasted about how precious and delicious this cake was. After everyone liked it in Modu, only when others begged to ask if they could have a bite. , personally took the plastic knife and fork and began to divide the cake.
If you have a good relationship with him, give a big chunk of it, and if you have a bad relationship with him, no matter how much you ask for it, the cousin will not give it unless he is willing to apologize.
This cake is very big, but there are many students in the class, and soon only one piece is left.
Lu Ming hurriedly refused to share the cake. Other classmates who had eaten the cake and thought it was delicious but not enough asked him where he bought it. His credit should not be erased.
"It was bought by a kind uncle in a cake shop. I did a good deed to help him stand up when he fell. In order to repay me, he gave me the cake."
He said, and showed off the watermelon juice to others. "He also said that there was an event in the store, and when he bought a cake, he gave watermelon juice, and he gave me the watermelon juice, so I can't share it with you. This was given to me by my kind uncle."
Having said that, Lu Ming took a sip of watermelon juice, it was really good.
He glanced at his classmates eagerly, with a proud expression on his face, "It's delicious!! It's much better than watermelon, my uncle said, it's a lot of money to buy watermelon juice alone!"
After distributing the delicious cake from the magic capital, Lu Ming suddenly became the most popular person in the class.
"Is it really that delicious? Can you give me a drink, and I'll take a sip."
"Wow!!! Lu Ming, you are really amazing, you can actually do good deeds!"
"No wonder my grandma always said that good people have good rewards, and I will do good deeds next time!"
"Lu Ming, just give me another bite, I still want to eat."
"No! I haven't even eaten a few bites myself!"
Lu Ming cautiously guarded the remaining piece of cake and sat inside. Thinking of the sweet and soft taste, he swallowed his saliva, but when he saw his cousin who was sulking in the seat, he refrained from eating it. The desire to drop the last piece.
Cousin does not apologize, he has been greedy for him!
And some students who only ate a little cake were still not satisfied. They knew there was a cake shop before, but no one had tried it before, so they didn't want to buy it. They didn't expect it to taste so good.
After school, be sure to ask your parents to take them to buy.
By the way, there is also that long and particularly beautiful watermelon juice.
The school bell rang, and in the cake shop, the boss opened the cake list as always, but within ten minutes, the door was pushed open.
A stylishly dressed parent walked in with his child, "Boss, did you buy a cake here and get watermelon juice?"
The boss was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
He was surprised and delighted in his heart, and before he could regain his senses, two couples of parents walked in outside the door, "Boss, are you selling cakes here? Do you get watermelon juice when you buy them?"
More and more people came in. The boss dismissed the employee before, and now he is alone, and the number of cakes is not enough, so he can only ask the parents to make a decision first, and then take it when he is done.
Now is the peak time for children to leave school, and the fact that the cake shop is full of people naturally attracts the attention of other children.
"Mom, let's go in and see too!!"
"Dad, what's going on over there, let's go and see if it's okay."
There are children who come out with their parents holding hands, and when they see someone they know each other, they have to show off for a while, "My mother ordered a cake for me, and also ordered a watermelon juice. That's from the magic city, does the magic city know! The people there are special I like to eat cake, it is very delicious!!”
As soon as these words came out, a group of children also started to think, such older children like to compare themselves with their peers, and when they heard about a fresh delicious cake from Magic City, they immediately asked their parents anxiously for it. Go in and have a look.
In such a short period of time, the boss actually took more than 20 orders at once, and there were still many people outside to come in. Originally, they were just being pestered by children to come to the cake shop to see what is so popular. When the parents saw that so many people wanted to leave, their children were in a hurry. They pulled their arms and insisted on drilling in, for fear that the delicious cakes would be bought by others.
For a time, the boss received the money and kept the accounts softly.
He was happy and curious at the same time.
How on earth did that person do it
Could it be that his watermelon juice is really delicious
