Chapter 524 524. Passers-by can jump (monthly ticket adds 10 updates)
Early in the morning, Lao Zhao sorted the vegetables brought over from the warehouse at the back, and then put them in his small storefront.
It should be placed on normal days, just place it outside the door. Anyway, it will definitely be emptied soon.
But not now.
On a hot day, the sun shines directly in his place. Even if there is a shed to cover it, the vegetables will become stale after a while, so they can only be put inside.
By the time he had put everything away, it was already 7:00 - it was hot today, so it was earlier for him to collect the vegetables and come back earlier.
Just as he was getting ready, he saw a young woman turning from the alley behind.
Lao Zhao took a closer look: "Xiao Feng, why is it so early today?"
Xiao Feng is an old customer who transferred from Song Tan before. He specializes in making scallion rolls and needs a lot of scallions a day.
Although I heard that she is a single mother with a child, she is inevitably short of money on daily expenses, but judging from the green onions she buys every day, she can be regarded as a stable and long-lasting high-quality customer.
“I left the onions you asked for in a separate room for you. I thought you had to wait until 9 o’clock to come and get them.”
Lao Zhao explained while hurriedly entering the house to get food.
Xiao Feng didn’t mind either: “It’s okay, don’t be in a hurry, just take your time.”
She sells scallion oil flower rolls. She starts selling them at 6:00 every day. She waits until they are sold out at 8:00 and then puts them away before going to the vegetable market.
Hence, all reservations must be made in advance.
Although Lao Zhao has no reservations here because things are hard to grab, it shows that her life is difficult, so she secretly relaxed in the end.
Xiao Feng kept it in mind.
At this moment he laughed:
“Uncle, I won’t be out of the stall today, I’m not in a hurry.”
I endured it again and again, but finally I couldn't help it and said: "It's my son's birthday today, and we are going to the mall at 9:00, so we should buy everything now."
Compared to half a year ago, Xiao Feng's mental state is much better now.
She used to sell some steamed buns and the like. She was busy on her own every day. Although she could earn a little, she was tired and her income was average.
But since I changed to this scallion roll, not only has my workload been reduced a lot, but my daily income has doubled several times.
Now that half a year has passed, she has even quietly looked at several houses - it doesn't have to be big, even 50 square meters is enough for a mother and son to live in, and it doesn't have to be a particularly good school district, it doesn't matter whether it's old or small.
An old house like Yuncheng, located in a remote location and older, can be purchased for 2 to 300,000 yuan.
Xiao Feng calculates his savings every day, and his life is running smoothly. Even his smile at this moment is particularly happy.
Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he also laughed: "Children grow up so fast - by the way," he asked by the way when he was packing spring onions for Xiao Feng: "You came early today, I still have some eggs here, do you want them?" ?”
Eggs…
Xiao Feng was a little hesitant.
10 yuan each is really not what they can spend on a daily basis. But the children are usually so sensible, so it's hard enough. The classmates in the class go to the amusement park for holidays and birthdays. If they want to save some money, they can only go to the amusement area of the mall...
Xiao Feng gritted her teeth: "Okay, give me two..." After a pause, she changed her words helplessly and happily: "I want 4. My silly boy won't eat even if I don't want to. He's stubborn."
Lao Zhao quickly packed the four eggs for her, and then carefully said: "Be sure to take it. These eggs are very popular despite being expensive. They are just like the green onions you want. Let me tell you." It’s absolutely worth the money!” He even said: “If you want to eat the original flavor, just boil it in plain water. If you want it to be more fragrant, fry it—oh, let me tell you, it will make your mouth water! "
As he talked, Lao Zhao himself became greedy.
Xiao Feng is also full of expectations.
However, when he turned around, he saw a watermelon placed in the corner, and couldn't help but ask: "Are there any small watermelons... among them?"
Old Zhao was stunned: "There are no small melons this season, they are all this big."
And this one is not for sale. It was his nephew who brought something to Song Tan. Song Tan gave it to him, and he left another one for Lao Zhao...
After a pause, Lao Zhao said again: "Forget it, I'll cut it up for you... Do you want a box of 20?"
Xiao Feng was silent—she didn’t have time in the morning or evening, and she frequently visited this local group on weekdays. How could she not know that a watermelon with skin alone costs twenty-one pounds?
At this moment, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes. Thank you, uncle."
“We are all old acquaintances, why are we talking about this?”
Lao Zhao said casually, and at this moment, he raised his knife and cut the watermelon he kept.
As soon as Xiao Feng left, he quickly wrapped it in plastic wrap and stuffed it into the refrigerator—one box weighed almost a pound! How could he, Lao Zhao, do business at a loss?
Here, Xiao Feng happily carried the things in his hands and walked home.
When she got home, the child had already finished breakfast and finished today’s holiday homework. He was looking at her in surprise:
“Mom, what time do we leave?”
Xiao Feng laughed: "It's 7:30 now. Mom will make preparations. Let's set off at 8 o'clock, okay?"
As she spoke, she took out four eggs from the bag: "It's my birthday today and I want to eat eggs—can I eat two?"
“And this—the vegetable vendor sold a box of watermelon at a cheap price. It’s very delicious. Let’s try it...”
While talking, he boiled a pot of water and put eggs in it. He also neatly wrapped the green onions he just bought and put them in the refrigerator.
When she looked back, she saw her son still sitting at the dining table, looking at the watermelon longingly and looking at her pitifully.
Xiao Feng’s slight heartache instantly turned into a soft ball: “Mom, boil the eggs first, and you eat them first.”
The morning on the top floor was extremely hot, and even the wind blowing in was warm.
However, Xiao Feng felt that life could never be better.
It wasn't until the water boiled and the eggs were rolling slightly inside that she calmed down and turned to look at her son - only to see him walking into the kitchen at some point, with sweat dripping from his head and holding his hands high. Holding a fork with a juicy piece of watermelon stuck on it:
“Mom, you eat first.”
Xiao Feng’s eyes were filled with heat, and he quickly leaned down and bit the watermelon into his mouth with an “Ah woo”, and then his eyes widened in an instant:
“No wonder everyone is praising—son, try it, the watermelon is really delicious! Mom wants to make a lot of money. When you celebrate your birthday next year, how about we eat a whole one?”
Seeing her son nodding stupidly, she happily touched his little head. Mother and son stood in the kitchen, each eating half of the watermelon.
Until finally, a mouthful of sweet and refreshing watermelon entered the stomach, and the mother and son came to their senses: "Oh, why did you eat it first!"
Good night. The monthly ticket addition is over. Next is the leader’s update.
This chapter is the story of the humble Xiao Feng. Tan Tan’s road to leading everyone to wealth is still far away, but... Xiao Feng’s changes are visible to the naked eye.
