The next day.
Ji Huai and his wife woke up early and went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients, then went home and continued their work.
The sauced chicken and minced meat prepared yesterday were enough to make dozens of servings of soup. He bought a lot more today, including vegetables, radish, kelp, onions and ginger.
Because I bought too many ingredients, it was still a bit difficult to come back.
After finally moving the things into the house, Cheng Yunyu was very tired. The house was too small, and the bed took up a lot of space. The other corner was filled with various things. After all, there were too many ingredients to prepare, and there was really no room. Put it, it's very crowded.
She didn't have time to think, Ji Huai was already busy, and she would have to go to work at a food stall soon, so she couldn't set up a stall with him, so she had to help.
Although Ji Huai asked her to take a break, saying that he could handle it by himself, she was unwilling and kept busy beside him, washing vegetables and shredding radishes.
By noon, if Ji Huai hadn't stopped, she could have continued.
When the rice was cooked in the rice cooker, he cooked two dishes, one was soy sauce chicken and the other was stir-fried vegetables.
The sauce-flavored chicken is rich and delicious, and the vegetables are fried green and delicious. Cheng Yunyu was surprised: "You are so good at cooking, why didn't I notice it before?"
Ji Huai curled his lips and said, "Is it a waste of time in the kitchen for so long? There are so many things you don't know."
"Is there anything else I don't know? Have you learned many, many dishes without telling me? From now on, you will cook delicious food for me." Cheng Yunyu took the opportunity to say.
"If you are willing to marry me in the future, I will cook it for you." Ji Huai said this while eating.
When he said this, his posture was deliberately lowered, and his words told her to be more understanding and marry him in the future. In fact, I didn't say this to make her happy, nor did I mean to say love words. I suddenly wanted to say it, hoping to stabilize her heart and reduce my own discomfort.
The two of them had just returned from the vegetable market carrying ingredients, took the bus for a while, and then walked again.
There were a lot of things bought today, and she insisted on helping to share a lot of it. Looking at her hands that were red from being strangled by the rope, he felt bad.
A man always grows up slowly. At the time when he is most powerless, he meets the person who least wants her to be wronged.
"Then I'll marry you." She said with crooked eyebrows and without hesitation, and her heart felt like eating candied fruit, "You will do it for me from now on."
He threatened her: "I took advantage and advantage, but I won't be able to regret it when the time comes."
Cheng Yunyu picked up a piece of chicken and raised the corners of his lips: "I won't regret it."
Half past four in the afternoon.
Ji Huai appeared at the door of No. 3 Middle School. There were also many parents picking up their children at the door. He stopped the car and started working quickly.
Today is much more lively than yesterday. In addition to the old man selling oden and fried chicken burgers, there are also many people setting up stalls, and everyone is selling a variety of things.
Cake, Bobo chicken, pancakes, tofu curd, milk tea, cold dishes...
Most people just set up stalls with a small table. Most of them went to kindergartens elsewhere to sell for a while, and then rushed here to sell the rest, most of which were ready-made items. The shops on the other side are all open, and most of them sell all kinds of rice, just waiting for the students to finish class.
After Ji Huai set up his stall and just put on his mask, the bell rang and students poured out.
Some students got into their parents' cars, some went to the shops on the other side, some were crossing the road, and some started to come to the stalls.
There were still more students gathered in front of the Oden Couple's stall. Compared to yesterday's desolation, Ji Huai's stall was also quickly filled with people, including the same few girls from yesterday.
"We want four portions, half of the sauce chicken and half of the minced meat." The four of them gathered in front of the stall, and the girl with a ponytail said to him.
"Okay." Ji Huai lit the fire and started serving soup, and the three stoves started cooking at the same time.
The four of them were picking up shredded radish again, but this time they were more restrained. No one had their plates full. A bold girl with short hair said to him: "You need to put more kelp for us, we like to eat it." kelp."
They went to the oden restaurant next door to buy kelp. It only cost two yuan. They might as well buy the rice noodles from this restaurant. It has vegetables, kelp and meat. The soup is very delicious and the attitude is very good.
"Okay." Ji Huai squeezed in a little more. "Is this enough?"
The purchase price of kelp is very cheap. He doesn't care about these ingredients. He basically just sells them in quantity next to the school. Even easy things can win the favor of students.
"That's enough." The girl smiled sweetly, "Thank you."
"A serving of minced pork vermicelli." Another boy wearing glasses walked to the side and said to Ji Huai.
"Okay, I'll cook this for you after I finish cooking it." Ji Huai said to him, added a little salt to it, put the spoon in the small pot and stirred it a little, took a few packing boxes from the side, and placed them on the Front.
More and more people gathered in front of the stall.
"I'd like a side of chicken noodles with soy sauce."
“One order of sauce chicken vermicelli to take away.”
“For a serving of minced pork rice noodles, don’t use kelp and replace it with green vegetables.”
…
Ji Huai moved faster and faster, filling soup, pouring noodles and packing them.
Some students came over to have a look. When they wanted to buy something, their parents scolded them: "If you eat this now, will you eat it when you get home? You are not allowed to buy it! Go back!"
Parents passing by just took a few glances, looked at the list and prices, and then called their children over to get on the electric car and drove away.
When school was over, Ji Huai was only busy for a while, and soon there was no one there. Many of the students who just came to buy things must be renting houses nearby and buying noodles and noodles for dinner.
Soon, only one of the three stoves was cooking, and there were fewer and fewer people in front of the school gate.
Ji Huai did the math and found that only eighteen copies were sold. The sales today were better than yesterday. However, they could only sell so many copies in the afternoon? Thinking about it, he frowned and felt that the situation was not very good. It was the peak time for students to eat in the afternoon.
It was close to six o'clock, and there was no one in front of his stall. It was just a short distance away, but he sold two more portions. The other stall people left one after another, and only he and the oden couple were left. After a while, the girl who sold sushi yesterday appeared. Came here too.
A stall started to be set up on the other side of the road. Ji Huai asked curiously, "Can you still sell out all the goods if you come here now?"
"Okay. After six o'clock, students who go to school also start to come to school, and those who stay in the dormitory will also come out to look for something to eat. They will all buy it." The sushi girl said.
Ji Huai didn't quite understand it at first because he had never been a boarding student, but he realized it later when he saw groups of students starting to come out again and looked at their wet hair.
There are many people in the dormitory. Some of them will come out to look for food after school, while the other group will go to take a shower. After washing, they will come out to look for food again.
The number of people coming to buy gradually increased, and Ji Huai also saw a few familiar faces.
One, two, three, and four... Within half an hour, he sold twelve more.
It is getting dark, and day students are coming to school one after another. At this time, they may buy sushi or oden, but they will not buy noodle soup because class is about to begin.
Ji Huai remained idle until the class bell rang. He walked to the side, took out a stool, and sat down on the side.
The sushi girl put away the table. She had not sold out all the dishes today and had five portions left. She came over and asked, "Do you still want to eat sushi? I won't sell it anymore and I'm going back."
Ji Huai: "Students will buy more after class. You can wait."
She replied: "It's just a few copies. I'm too lazy to wait. It's too long."
"I'll buy two boxes from you." He said, picking up the small bucket of money and taking the money.
"Do you like eating so much?" the sushi girl laughed. She came late on purpose today, and then deliberately made too much. If she couldn't sell out, she could give it to him. He must be embarrassed, so she could take the opportunity to offer to put it at his stall. Sell on.
There is still so much space in his stall, she can make a lot of sushi, everyone can make money together, win-win cooperation, and encourage each other.
She fell in love with him.
"My girlfriend likes to eat. She said it was delicious yesterday." Ji Huai found eight yuan, handed it to her, and asked her, "Would you like rice noodles? I can make them for you."
Just offset one portion of the rice noodles, since the cost is not high anyway.
Before he finished speaking, the other party's smile froze at the corner of his mouth: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah." Ji Huai nodded.
"No, I've cooked at home." The other party took the eight yuan and sold him two boxes of sushi, forcing a smile and saying, "I'll go back first, and you can sell them slowly."
"Okay." Ji Huai nodded.
He is not stupid, of course he can see through her mind. Some women barely have their plans for him written on their faces. They calculate clearly from the beginning how many benefits they can get from being with him.
No money, no ability, no use, who would want to be with him? Only that little silly girl.
He put away the sushi, sat aside, took out his mobile phone, and saw that Cheng Yunyu had sent him another message: "I should be able to get off work on time today, there are no customers. How is business?"
"It's okay, better than yesterday." He replied to her.
"!!!" She quickly sent three exclamation points, and then said, "Great, thank you for your hard work."
Her happiness can be felt between the lines.
The owner of the food stall was very stingy and would not let him use his mobile phone when there was no work to do. He wanted to squeeze him all the time and asked him to stand upright, so Cheng Yunyu didn't reply to his messages.
Time passed quickly, and it was nine o'clock in a blink of an eye.
The first wave of students who were studying in the evening came out. Ji Huai put on the mask again and stood up. He wanted to see how many he could sell this time.
It was supper time at this time, and there were more people coming to buy them, including both day students and boarding students. Parents were also watching and would spend money to buy them for their children.
"Don't you have a table at home?" The little girls looked at the oden and asked Ji Huai.
"Yes, but there are only two stools." Ji Huai looked apologetic, "I'll get a few more tomorrow."
My budget is limited, I will buy it tomorrow.
"Okay." Because there wasn't enough room to sit down, the other party didn't say anything.
He was quite busy at this time, cooking intermittently. When Cheng Yunyu came, he was packing.
"Ring ring ring~~~" The third period of evening self-study is over.
Ji Huai took the fifty yuan, handed it to Cheng Yunyu and said to her, "Look for forty-five yuan."
"Yeah." Cheng Yunyu took the small money bucket aside and started to change.
After Ji Huai gave the packaged noodle soup to the other party, he hurried to the side, took the small table, carried it to the right side of the car, and then walked over to open and put down the two folding chairs.
After the students came out, some came towards his booth:
"I'd like a chicken rice noodle dish."
"Have some minced pork vermicelli."
“A sauce chicken noodle dish.”
…
This time, there were more parents buying late-night snacks for their children than before, and the table he set was also occupied by a father and son.
The man said to Ji Huai: "Two bowls of chicken noodles with soy sauce and eggs."
Cheng Yunyu walked aside and asked: "Are the eggs made into poached eggs or broken up?"
Man: "Break it up."
"Okay, there are five more servings ahead, and then I'll make them for you. Wait a minute." Cheng Yunyu said, opening the small bottles of chili sauce and soy sauce in the car, putting a small spoon in them, and taking them over and placing them on the table. superior.
The man also picked it up and looked at it. He saw that the seasonings were all from big brands and they had just been opened. He also said a few words to his son.
The soy sauce used in some stores is a cheap brand, not delicious at all, but they are still willing to use ingredients.
Cheng Yunyu placed the packing box in front. After Ji Huai poured it, she put it in front of the students. When they added the ingredients, she quickly took it over and closed the lid to pack it.
Two people were very busy, and there were not many people there. After about twenty minutes, there was no one around. A total of about 11 pieces were sold, which was not as good as the sales at nine o'clock.
Later, Ji Huai was busy on his own. He gave Cheng Yunyu the two portions of sushi he had just bought. She had been talking about this sushi last night, and she was very happy that there were two portions today.
At half past ten, people gradually disappeared, and the oden couple also left.
"How much?" The man sitting aside turned to ask Ji Huai.
Ji Huai: "Ten yuan in total."
"Make another one and take it away." After the man finished speaking, he said to his son, "It tastes good. Take one back for your mother and little sister to eat."
"OK."
"Add eggs to this one too," the man added.
"Is it also made into poached eggs?"
"Yes, crack two eggs."
"Cook it now."
…
By the time the two of them left, it was already past ten o'clock and all the shops were closed again, leaving only Ji Huai. Cheng Yunyu walked over, packed away the boxes the two of them ate from, and then wiped the table.
She walked back and looked at the time again: "We have to wait until twelve o'clock."
After a while, students will come out.
"Are you going to work the morning shift tomorrow?" Ji Huai suddenly asked.
"Yes." Cheng Yunyu said with a smile, "In this case, I can set up the stall with you after get off work, so you don't have to work alone."
Ji Huai: "Let's go back now, not too late."
If we wait until twelve o'clock to pack up, we will have to go back around one o'clock.
"It's okay." She didn't care.
"You won't be able to sell much for a while, so you might as well go back early." He said and walked aside to clear the tables.
As soon as the table was cleared, two students came over and wanted to buy two copies.
Ji Huai had to cook again. When they left, Cheng Yunyu said again: "How much can we sell? If we sell one piece, we will make more money. We..."
Before she could finish her words, another female student stood in front of the stall: "I want a piece of minced meat vermicelli to be taken away."
Ji Huai had already collected some things and said in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, we have to go back. The stall has been closed."
"Okay." The other party was slightly embarrassed, but didn't say anything, took the book and left.
Cheng Yunyu wanted to say something else, so he said directly: "Go back after cleaning up, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"It's still early." She pursed her lips and looked at the back of the female classmate. She felt that she had lost a lot of money, but she couldn't resist Ji Huai, so she could only deal with it reluctantly.
Just after eleven o'clock, the two began to go home.
It was not a cold night today, but Cheng Yunyu still hugged Ji Huai's waist and pressed her whole body against him, leaning against him.
She came back early, and there were many cars going back and forth on the road. When she got downstairs, she said to him: "It's so early, and everyone is awake."
Ji Huai ignored her and continued to drive the car behind the house.
After cleaning up, she went to take a shower. When she came out, it was exactly twelve o'clock. Ji Huai had pajamas in his hand and went in to take a shower.
Cheng Yunyu dried her hair and saw the small money bucket beside her. She opened it and looked at it. She felt that there were more than yesterday because there were two fifty yuan sheets. She said to Ji Huai in the bathroom: "I'll help you count the money." I wonder how many were sold.”
He didn't pay attention and responded casually.
Fifty yuan, twenty yuan, ten yuan, five yuan...
Cheng Yunyu folded the money neatly one by one. When Ji Huai came out, she had just finished folding it and started counting. When she counted to two hundred, it was fine. When she reached two hundred, her emotions were still ups and downs: "Two hundred and five, two hundred and eight, three hundred... three." One hundred and thirty-eight?”
She took the money, looked up at him, and counted it again: "It's really three hundred and thirty-eight!"
The two of them spent all the remaining money this morning, only a dozen yuan was left, and now they have three hundred and thirty-eight yuan? Isn't that just selling
More than three hundred yuan
"Absolutely. I did the math and I think we sold sixty or seventy copies." Ji Huai was not that surprised and walked over and sat on the bed.
"Did you earn around 160?" Cheng Yunyu said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, that's okay, but students don't have much money on Thursday and Friday. If they can maintain this income tomorrow, that's fine. It doesn't matter if they have less money in the next few days." Ji Huai said.
Calculating it this way, it was barely the same as working at a food stall. The two of them could share the work, so they wouldn't be so tired. She didn't have to stay up late with him after work.
"Don't we have to sell other things? It would be great to earn a few hundred more every month." She didn't have such extravagant expectations. After putting the money away, she reached out to hug him, "The room we rented is too big." If it's too small, if you stir around in it for a while, the quilt may be filled with the scent of soy sauce. Once we have some money, we may have to change places and rent a house with a big kitchen, which will be convenient."
Ji Huai put his arm around her and got on the bed. He moved in his arms and said, "I've been paying attention to the house these days. I want to move closer to No. 3 Middle School. The rent there is also cheaper. Then we can move." Buying an electric car makes it convenient to buy food.”
Cheng Yunyu lazily leaned into his arms: "A new electric car is so expensive. It costs several thousand yuan. I'm afraid a second-hand one costs several hundred, right? How can we have money? We have to buy another table and table tomorrow." A few stools.”
They earn money every month, and Ji Huai's money is invested in it. Now he has to rent a house and buy an electric car, which is too expensive.
Ji Huai looked at her frowning face, pursed his thin lips, and lowered his eyes in silence.
"It's okay, it's not very heavy, we can carry it." She comforted him again and smiled, "It will definitely be difficult at the beginning, but it's also very good. I think this is also very good."
"Where's the healing?" Ji Huai hugged her and stretched out his hand to pull off the thin quilt. Thinking of what she just said, he picked up the quilt and smelled it.
Fortunately, it has no taste for the time being.
She spoke briskly: "It's all very good, and it will get better and better in the future. I will be a boss's wife in the future, and when the time comes, you will buy me the best electric bike to ride. If I have more money, maybe I can go there If you get a learner’s license and you buy a car, I can drive it too.”
He was amused by her again: "Why is it the best electric car and not a car? Why are you so easily satisfied?"
"Boys need cars more." She said.
Ji Huai: "I can buy you one, and I can buy another one myself, and I can also buy a small electric car."
"That's too extravagant." She raised her pink lips, then shook her head and refused, "It's too wasteful, I can only think about it, we can't spend money like this."
"Perhaps you are rich enough not to care about this?" He continued her words.
Cheng Yunyu tilted her head and looked up at him, as if she couldn't imagine how rich he was. Isn't that very rich? After all, they can't even afford second-hand small electric vehicles now.
Ji Huai lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead. Seeing her like this, he kissed her delicate lips again, then slowly moved them along the lip line, and said in a low voice: "Sleep again later?"
"..." She remained silent.
"Do you think you agreed?" He put her down, turned her over, and pressed her gently on him.
Cheng Yunyu didn't resist, and even put her arms around his neck, saying softly and coquettishly: "You can't be too annoying, I have to get up early tomorrow."
Ji Huai chuckled: "Okay."
She added, "You have to listen to me and don't bully others."
He slowed down his voice and nodded in agreement: "Well, no fuss, I'll make breakfast for you when I get up early tomorrow.
…
