"Chen Xu, you quit your hard work and want to open a supper stall?"
After dinner, on the way home, Chen Ziqi finally spoke and looked at him strangely.
"It's a side job." Chen Xu corrected her, still thinking about where to get the money.
Before that, he worked overtime every day until after 8 o'clock in the evening, and when he came home, he had to pass through the snack street. At night, there are quite a few people here.
A few days before he entered the dreamland, he noticed that the night snack shop was being sold, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. Later, in the dream, when I was learning cooking from 2003, I considered taking over this restaurant.
The location of this store is a bit out of the way and the area is small, so the rent should not be too high. Secondly, it is close to home, and thirdly, it can be used as a side job first, going to work during the day and having supper at night, there is no conflict. Once the business is on track, you can work full-time.
As a result, when I asked the owner of the night snack stall just now, I realized that things were not that simple.
The rent is three thousand five thousand a month, which he can still accept. But when the other party asked for a transfer fee of 50,000 yuan, he couldn't understand it. For those things in the store, 10,000 yuan is the sky.
He also wanted to bargain with the boss, but he didn't let go at all, and it cost 50,000 yuan if he killed him.
In desperation, he was ready to give up.
His psychological bottom line is 30,000. It is not impossible to make up more than this number, but he feels that the pressure is too great. Doing any business is risky. His first consideration was how much he could afford to lose if the business failed.
The boss also explained that when he took over the store, he paid a transfer fee of 50,000 yuan, and at least he had to get the money back, otherwise it would be too much of a loss. It's not that there's no business in the store, it's just that they are in a hurry and have to sell it.
Chen Xu asked him what was urgent.
It turned out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins and was about to give birth. At that time, the big and the small will have to be taken care of. His son must not be able to take care of him alone, so they discussed letting them go back. They also agreed.
Seeing that the due date was approaching, during this time, his son called every day to urge them. They originally thought about closing the store for a month or two, and then came back to continue opening the store. Later, they thought about how long their daughter-in-law would not be able to take care of the two younger ones after her confinement. Just sell the store.
From his tone, Chen Xu heard that he was not willing to part with this store, and the transfer was purely helpless.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he made a proposal, asking the boss to rent the store and the equipment in the store to him for a few months. A few months later, the boss came back and could continue to open the store.
The boss was obviously a little moved. After discussing with his wife for half an hour and asking about his basic situation, he finally agreed to the plan. The condition is that he has to take out 20,000 yuan as a deposit, and as for the rent, he only needs 4,000 yuan.
Chen Xu agreed and agreed to sign the contract tomorrow.
Judging from the conversation, the boss and his wife are very kind, and they also said that they should be invited for this meal. It's just that Chen Xu didn't agree and just settled the bill.
Now he still has 10,000 yuan in his card, and there are two days before the salary is paid, and the salary is probably not enough.
Still have to borrow from others.
At the side, Chen Ziqi saw that he was silent, and said in surprise, "You have been working for two years, so you can't even get 20,000 yuan out?"
Chen Xu felt that she was provoking him on purpose and didn't want to talk to her.
Chen Ziqi said again, "Otherwise, I'll lend it to you."
Unmoved, Chen Xu patted her on the head and said, "Keep your money for yourself."
"Don't move my head."
Chen Ziqi wanted to open his hand, but missed it, and wrinkled his nose at him, "I'm so stupid, I don't want to lend you any money, you deserve it because you can't make any money."
"You don't have to worry about that."
While the two were talking, they returned to the rented house.
Chen Xu took a shower, took his briefcase and car keys, and said, "I'm going out, you sleep here alone at night, remember to lock the door, if you need anything, just call me. Also, don't go around Run around. Tomorrow morning, I will bring you breakfast."
Chen Ziqi was packing her things. Seeing him talking endlessly, she said impatiently, "Got it, hurry up, really, you're more verbose than my dad."
Chen Xu just left. He rented a single room, although she could sleep on the floor, but she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and it was inconvenient to sleep in the same room, even if they were siblings, they had to avoid suspicion.
He drove to the company and planned to stay there for one night. The hotel costs a lot of money for one night, so you can save as much as you can.
When I arrived at the company, it was exactly eight o'clock, and there were still people working overtime in the department. When I saw him, I was a little strange and asked him why he came here at this time.
"I remember that there is some work that I haven't finished. You are busy with your work." Chen Xu responded, went to his place, turned on the computer, and started to work.
Just in time, get ready for what you have to do tomorrow.
After nine o'clock, the other colleagues left, leaving him alone.
He turned off the computer, walked to the window, picked up the phone, and dialed Old Tang's number, "Hello, it's me. Is it convenient to talk now?"
Then, I heard the sound of closing the door, "What's the matter, tell me."
Chen Xu said, "Is it convenient for you now? Can you lend me 10,000 yuan, and I will pay you back after two months of salary."
"When will it be?" Old Tang didn't ask much.
"Before get off work tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Chen Xu prepared a lot of words, but he didn't expect him to ask anything. In the end, he said, "Thank you."
"Let's do this first. My wife has finished taking a shower. I'm going in. We'll talk tomorrow." Old Tang hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Chen Xu let out a long sigh of relief. The deposit of 20,000 yuan was finally settled. He sat back in his seat, took out a pen and paper, and began to write down the ingredients he would buy tomorrow.
In the dream, I can't remember most of the details of the cooking skills I learned from 2003. There is only one thing I still remember now, and that is the secret recipe for making soup.
He used to watch TV dramas, saying how valuable the century-old soup from a century-old shop is. Many noodle restaurants are supported by a pot of old soup. The longer the old soup is boiled, the better the business.
Of course, he hasn't eaten at those century-old restaurants, so he doesn't know how they taste. The soup made in 2003 was really delicious. At that time, he felt that it should be no worse than those century-old soups. So be careful and remember carefully.
The raw materials are not too many, they are all ordinary ingredients, but it is a bit troublesome to make, so you have to prepare them in advance.
After he listed all the things he wanted to buy, he tore off the piece of paper, folded it, and put it in his pocket. Get up and go to the reception room, lie down on the sofa, and start to sleep.
