The new store opened, the online store went live, and the first day sales were pretty good. Although Jiang Kuo felt that it was a little too anxious to invite Duan Feifei to dinner before he was done, he could understand it.
He himself wanted to celebrate.
There are still two days before Saturday, in addition to the usual things such as delivery and follow-up production, supplementary material is shot at night, and the TV station is contacted to do the program. On the second floor of the new store, there is a small office for Yang Ke…
There are a lot of things to do, and they still have to do homework in class, and the exam is coming soon, so there is not much time left for them to review.
When thinking about these things, Jiang Kuo would occasionally think of President Jiang's saying of dropping out of school. After all, he is not a material for study. The parents of the academic masters never worry about their studies, and voluntarily work hard to make progress. His parents don't have to. Worrying about his studies, he was reluctant to be downstream.
In high school, if President Jiang told him to drop out of school, he would probably have dropped out too. He even envied Jiang very much about dropping out, but now that he was asked to drop out, he would not agree. It was only obtained by running away from home for thousands of miles.
Although it is not yet known what is the use of this diploma.
The news of the online store spread among the classmates very quickly. After all, Niu Sandao enjoys a certain reputation in the surrounding area of the school. There is basically no confidentiality about the opening of the new store and the launch of the online store. When they went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, As soon as I sat down, several people came over and patted Duan Feifei on the shoulder: "When will it be shipped?"
"Fuck." Duan Feifei sighed, "According to the order, don't read love."
"I'm a little worried now," Jiang Kuo said in a low voice. "Except for the ones we know of, those hundreds of orders are not all from our school, right? The publicity effect is almost zero."
Duan Feifei laughed: "No, the sauced beef is not cheap, it's not ten yuan or eight yuan."
"Do you have to go there at noon?" Jiang Kuo asked, "I'm afraid Yang Ke will be too busy to deliver."
"Well, the shipment volume has not stabilized now, and people are not sure whether to ask for one or more, part-time jobs or something," Duan Feifei said, "It can only be Yang Ke for a while, and then temporarily in the market. Find some packs."
"I'm so busy," Jiang Kuo said, "I have to shoot a movie tonight."
"It's not a few shots away," Duan Feifei said. "It can be edited this weekend, and then the useless material will be given to the TV station. They will shoot a few more shots, interview the old man, and it's done."
"Ah..." Jiang Kuo sighed.
The problem of delivery is not too big. When they arrived at the new store at noon, they went in directly through the back door. Seeing that the open space behind was full of sized boxes, Yang Ke and the two elder sisters were packing their bags neatly.
"Damn it," Jiang Kuo was shocked, especially when he saw Yang Ke tearing the tape with his fingertips, he turned his head to look at Duan Feifei in shock, "Is this the stunt you taught him? "
"...What kind of amazing skill is this that shocked you so much." Duan Feifei said.
"Where did you learn it?" Jiang Kuo asked Yang Ke.
"Big sister taught it." Yang Ke gestured for him as he spoke, and then snapped the tape with a swipe, "It's easy, you see..."
"I don't want to watch it." Jiang Kuo said.
Although it wasn't as slick as Duan Feifei when he helped him glue the headlights on the street, Yang Ke really didn't understand it this time.
Any useful life skills are considered stunts by him.
Passing through the delivery position at the back, the back kitchen was cooking the beef with sauce, the old aunt was busy inside, the three rows of vats were steaming hot, Jiang Kuo watched for a while through the glass, and waved to the old aunt.
The old aunt smiled and waved to him.
The business in front is normal, the old uncle takes care of both raw and cooked by himself, because there are not always people, so he can still be busy.
"I still have to hire someone," Jiang Kuo said. "You have to hire one person for the cooked food, and at least one in the back of the kitchen. The old aunt will bring it with you, or you will be tired, but you won't be able to keep busy if you have more orders."
Duan Feifei didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking.
"These costs are normal and necessary," Jiang Kuo said. "It's not about saving on top of it. The price of purchases, the cost of packaging, these are all pressed..."
"Yeah." Duan Feifei nodded, "The money that President Jiang gave me was just put in."
"I can add," Jiang Kuo said, "don't forget."
"I know." Duan Feifei laughed.
After thinking about it, he approached Jiang Kuo again and whispered, "Mr. Kuo, let me ask you a privacy question."
"What?" Jiang Kuo asked, "The color of the panties?"
"...No." Duan Feifei said.
"Ask." Jiang Kuo said.
"How much money do you have on hand?" Duan Feifei said, "I feel so confident."
"I want to have a bottom," Jiang Kuo smiled and turned to look at him, "I'm not a bottom, I'm a continent."
Duan Feifei smiled and said nothing.
Duan Feifei would inquire about his money, which is really a very rare thing, beyond his partner, beyond the boundaries that Duan Feifei had set for himself before, it was a very intimate inquiry, with a kind of rude intimacy.
Jiang Kuo took out his mobile phone, clicked on mobile banking, and handed the mobile phone to Duan Feifei: "Look."
"Is this the total number?" Duan Feifei asked.
"Well," Jiang Kuo nodded, "it includes some financial management and funds I bought."
"One hundred million one hundred thousand..." Duan Feifei glanced at him, "Damn, Jiang Kuo, where did you get so much money?"
"President Jiang gave it, my mother gave it," Jiang Kuo said, "I will give it during the Chinese New Year, and I will also give it on my birthday. Sometimes President Jiang will also give some pockets when he thinks of it. My expenses are not very big. When I want to buy something big, I will ask President Jiang for money, so I save some money."
"Fuck." Duan Feifei temporarily lost his language ability.
"So you don't have to worry about follow-up investment..." Jiang Kuo said.
"No no no no no," Duan Feifei said in a series of words, "It's not calculated like this, we still try to control it as much as possible. We do things according to the needs and the current plan, not according to how much money you have..."
Jiang Kuo laughed.
"I was just curious to ask," Duan Feifei said, "I don't mean to start adding with a wave of your hand."
"Understood," Jiang Kuo said with a smile, "According to the agreed ratio, I will not vote more."
"That's right." Duan Feifei nodded.
Jiang Kuo went to the cooked food to take a look. The goods that Ma Xiao came to unload early in the morning have been re-arranged on the empty shelf. He sorted it out again, and he felt satisfied.
"Hey, boss," someone called him at the door, "bring me some beef in sauce."
"Okay," Jiang Kuo responded immediately, turning to see an uncle, "How much do you want? What flavor?"
"I bought a small bag yesterday," the uncle took out a packaging bag, "that's it."
"Is it still a pouch?" Jiang Kuo asked.
"Is there any discount for those who want big bags?" the uncle asked.
"Yes," Jiang Kuo took two large bags and one small bag and put them on him, "buy two get one free."
"Are you the boss?" The uncle looked at him.
"Huh?" Jiang Kuo didn't understand.
"You don't work when you look at it," the uncle said with a smile. "You can't even put it in a pocket."
"I'm coming." Duan Feihan stretched out his hand from the side and rearranged the bags of beef sauce inside, "Uncle, did you buy sauce yesterday? Many people bought beef sauce again."
"Is there a discount?" the uncle asked.
"There is no full gift, but two bottles can be discounted," Duan Feifan took two bottles of beef sauce and put them in the bag, "Two?"
"Okay." The uncle nodded.
After the uncle left, Jiang Kuo sighed with emotion: "I probably won't be able to learn this kind of selling skills."
"Why learn this," said Duan Feifei, "you don't have a chance to stand here and sell goods, right?"
"I never thought that I could forcefully buy and sell in such a euphemistic manner," Jiang Kuo said.
"It also depends on the person," Duan Feifei said, "This uncle looks very carefree. He only asks if there are any discounts, and he doesn't ask about the price. Generally, if you give it to him, he will ask for it, but some are not. Look at people, some you put in him and he can let you take them out."
Jiang Kuo snorted: "What about me?"
"You won't buy it like this," Duan Feifei glanced at him, "Just order one in the restaurant if the six relatives don't recognize it."
Jiang Kuo laughed for a long time: "I'm not like this anymore. I'm also a person who can eat small restaurants on the side of the road."
"Being able to go up and down," Duan Feifei said, "it's not from top to bottom, that's a shitty business."
"Come on." Jiang Kuo said.
Uncle has been in a good mood since the opening. The business has been good for the past two days. After closing the door at night, when they came to shoot the video material, the uncle didn't hide. part.
Jiang Kuo had no idea what this video was going to be like, he just felt that the footage was broken.
Big pig's mirror movement is also very strange, suddenly far and near, suddenly took a few steps back, and suddenly stepped forward to slap his face.
"Where the fuck are you dancing?" Fan Jiabao was very confused.
The big pig ignored him, rushed towards Duan Feifei who was cutting meat for a while and backed away, and instructed: "Turn your head to the left... OK! The knife cuts down! Now look at the camera... OK!"
Then Jiang Kuo was surrounded by him, far and near, but fortunately he didn't let him cut the meat.
In a few scenes, it can be clearly seen that the big pig made Duan Feifei play with the knife, and the knife turned and tossed in his hand, and fell on the chopping board. When the knife fell, the big pig rushed over as if he was going to greet him.
Then Duan Feifei and Jiang Kuo stood face to face, the old uncle and the old aunt stood behind them with their arms crossed, and the old aunt refused to follow. In the end, only the old uncle stood there with his arms crossed, forming a triangle.
"You two turn to look at me at the same time, I will turn when I say one, two, three, with sharp eyes," Big Pig looked at him, "One, two, three!"
Duan Feifei and Jiang Kuo turned to look at Big Pig at the same time.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that the camera of the big pig had jumped in front of them. Jiang Kuo gritted his teeth and didn't laugh out loud when the camera was facing him.
"Okay." The big pig nodded.
"Fuck," Jiang Kuo couldn't stop laughing, "I'm worried you're going to hit us."
"No," Big Pig also laughed, "Trust me, this must have a cool effect. This is a cool and relaxing video."
"It was shot according to the specifications of your future promotional videos," Jiang Liao said, "My 10,000 clips are for you."
"Everyone makes millions of edits," Fan Jiabao said. "You can say 100,000 edits anyway. Isn't 10,000 edits a bit too modest."
"That's a surprise." Jiang Liao said.
"...Understood." Fan Jiabao nodded.
Although the things are complicated, they can be considered to be completed step by step. On Saturday, the small office on the second floor for Yang has been separated, and the machine has also been shipped.
"Another sum of money." Duan Feifei said.
"Don't feel bad, grit your teeth." Jiang Kuo said.
"Okay." Duan Feifei gritted his teeth and said, "That's all for today, nothing else."
"No," Jiang Kuo said, "are you going to dinner?"
"Well," Duan Feifei jumped twice, "Relax, it's been hard work these days."
"Where are you going?" Jiang Kuo asked, Duan Feifei said to relax, but he really felt tired, he stretched his arms vigorously.
"It's a very interesting place," said Duan Feifei. "You wait for me at the back door, and I'll drive over."
"Yeah." Jiang Kuo nodded, reached out and took out the car keys.
"Don't drive your car." Duan Feifei said.
"Who's car is that? Fan Jiabao's car?" Jiang Kuo raised his eyebrows.
Duan Feifei clicked his tongue, turned and ran downstairs: "Wait for me at the back door."
Jiang Kuo chatted with Yang Ke, and went downstairs to stand by the passageway at the back door of the new store.
After a while, he saw the old uncle's small truck driving over, and he couldn't help but be amused: "Ah, crazy? This car can't enter the city."
"Don't enter the city," Duan Feifei didn't get out of the car, and waved at him in the cab, "Get in the car, Mr. Kuo, your special seat cushion is already waiting for you."
Jiang Kuo got into the car with a smile: "Where are you going?"
"Where you've been," Duan Feifei drove out of the market and turned from a road they hadn't traveled before, "you'll know when you get there."
"Okay." Jiang Kuo smiled.
"You said earlier that you wanted to take a truck for a ride, but you never succeeded," Duan Feifei said. "The farthest I went to a wholesale market, I'll take you for a ride today."
"Well." Jiang Kuo glanced at Duan Feifei and felt that Duan Feifei was a little different from usual, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
The car first drove around the outer ring, then took another county road, then turned to an overpass, and entered the main road again. It has been a year since I came to school. Jiang Kuo is still not familiar with this city and has not been to many places. , At this moment, Duan Feifei took him around this big circle, which was basically the best and most concentrated places in the suburbs of the city.
It's almost evening now, the sun is slanting on the distant hills, the whole world is warm golden, warm golden roads, warm golden houses, warm golden rivers and woods, and warm golden pickup trucks and driving Warm golden driver.
"I found that you look handsome even if you get a little tan." Jiang Kuo looked at Duan Feifei's profile, raised his phone and took a photo, "You are bronzed at the moment, but you are still handsome."
"Okay," Duan Feifei said, "I'll be drying it this summer."
Jiang Kuo smiled and turned his head to look out the window again: "The scenery here is very good. Now this road looks a little familiar, have you been here before?"
"You can get to know each other a little further." Duan Feifei said.
After driving forward less than 200 meters, Jiang Kuo saw a sign indicating that turning right ahead was Nandahu Park.
Jiang Kuo laughed: "Dahu Amusement Park!"
"Well," Duan Feifei gave a direction, "that is to go to Dahu Amusement Park."
"Is there a place to eat?" Jiang Kuo asked.
"Yes," said Duan Feifei, "I just found out about it. Someone in my circle of friends went there. I asked about it. It was very interesting."
It's really interesting. This place to eat is at the northernmost end of Nanda Lake Park. It's a large pasture, and there are many restaurants next to it, all of which look quite stylish.
The one Duan Feifei picked was closest to the grass, where there were more than a dozen tents adorned with small lights.
"These are boxes." Duan Feifei said, "I ordered a small one."
The waiter took them to a small tent. Jiang Kuo looked inside. In addition to the table and chairs, there was also a small sofa for two, which looked very comfortable.
"You're pretty good at picking places." Jiang Kuo sat on the sofa and found that the top of the tent was open, and he could see the sky when he looked up.
It was getting dark by now, and a patch of tiny stars was slowly emerging.
"It is said that this is the best place to watch the stars in the city," Duan Feifei sat next to him and looked up at the sky with him, "but it's not too late, eat slowly and watch the stars later."
"Well." Jiang Kuo replied, "What's the matter with you? This one is going for a ride and eating and watching the stars. It doesn't feel like a celebration of the opening."
"... Who told you that I was going to celebrate the opening?" Duan Feifei said.
"I guess," Jiang Kuo said, "after all, we haven't celebrated yet, haven't we?"
Duan Feifei was silent for a while, then took his bag and rustled it beside him.
Jiang Kuo didn't look at him, but still looked up at the sky.
Now this season is very comfortable, neither cold nor hot, neither dry nor wet, the breeze is blowing, there is the fragrance of grass in the wind, surrounded by small lit tents, some people are chatting and laughing in the tent, some people are outside the tent Drinking tea and watching the sky, they were mixed in the crowd, lively and quiet.
This feeling is comfortable and ambiguous, making people lazy and happy.
"I originally wanted to tell you after dinner," Duan Feifei put something in his hand, "but since you asked..."
Jiang Kuo just wanted to see what it was, when Duan Feifei pressed his forehead, pushed his head back on the sofa, and continued to look up at the night sky.
"Listen to me and then read." Duan Feifei said.
"Well," Jiang Kuo smiled, "is it a gift?"
"It's a gift, not a gift," Duan Feifei said. "It's an expression."
"Speaking like a scholar suddenly, I can't understand it." Jiang Kuo touched the thing in his hand, it was a quite large cylindrical metal thing, similar to President Jiang's big tea can.
"Since you asked," Duan Feifei said, "I will advance this process to the present."
Jiang Kuo smiled and turned to look at him: "Can you see it?"
"I'm actually a little nervous." Duan Feifei said, "This matter was decided suddenly, just... I wasn't very prepared..."
"What the hell!" Jiang Kuo couldn't help raising his voice, "I'm going to watch it now!"
"Look." Duan Feifei said.
Jiang Kuo immediately raised the things in his hands to his eyes.
A brass cylinder, two circles thicker than a thermos cup, and a lid.
"A cup?" Jiang Kuo asked Duan Feifei while opening the lid.
"No," said Duan Feifei, "have you ever played kaleidoscope?"
Jiang Kuo's eyebrows rose: "Is this a kaleidoscope? You made it?"
"Yeah." Duan Feifei nodded.
"So big?" Jiang Kuo unscrewed the lid and put his eyes up to the light.
"Because the things to be placed are quite special, it's too small to see clearly." Duan Feifei said in his ear, and asked nervously, "Can you see it?"
Jiang Kuo has played with kaleidoscopes. When he was a child, the first handicraft Jiang Liao made was a kaleidoscope, a tube with small sequins inside, which formed various dazzling patterns when turned.
Can you see it
When Duan Feifei asked this sentence, Jiang Kuo could clearly see the "flower" in this kaleidoscope.
It is larger than the small fragments in the ordinary kaleidoscope. The fragments are translucent, only the edges have fine sparkles, and there are patterns on the translucent fragments of different shapes.
Jiang Kuo turned the bobbin, and when the patterns changed, he could clearly see the patterns on certain fragments.
"This is... I'm fucking!" Jiang Kuo turned to look at Duan Feifei in shock, "Is there a photo of me?"
"Can you see clearly?" Duan Feifei asked, "I'm also worried that there are too many piles and it's not easy to see clearly."
"Is it my photo!" Jiang Kuo continued to ask in shock, "You made a kaleidoscope out of my photo?"
"Yes." Duan Feifei said.
