It was Lu Yong’s idea to set up stalls for the Lantern Festival.
Lu Xu asked him to be responsible for the shopping. He always had money in his hand. Seeing that the river water would not melt, Lu Xu could not come, and others were opening, it would be uneconomical for them to leave the shop empty.
He thought about it over and over again, but he felt that he could make money during the three days of Lantern Festival. He gritted his teeth and ran out to buy fifty kilograms of glutinous rice.
Even though we can’t use up all the Yuanxiao, their shop always uses glutinous rice for desserts!
Normally, even if he saw a business opportunity, Lu Yong would not dare to spend money without Lu Xu's consent.
But in the twelfth lunar month, something big or small happened to their family - the tofu shop that had been rented by his family for many years moved away.
When the tofu shop heard that Lu Xu had gone home to celebrate the New Year, it threatened Lu Yong to order tofu from him next year, otherwise they would cancel the lease.
Previously, they looked down on the small business that Lu Yong and Lu Xu did, but they didn't expect that they would actually do it later. They had to buy a cart of tofu and soy milk from outside every day. Seeing that other people's tofu business was booming, how could they? Not greedy?
It's not like they haven't looked for Lu Xu, but Lu Xu seems to have a soft temper. He is very irritating when he quarrels with others, and his words are weird and unpleasant.
Now that Lu Xu has gone home, they have watched Lu Yong grow up, and they know his temper best.
They didn't want to be subdued or say soft words, mainly because they had been together for too long. The two families knew each other well. The Lu family had a soft temper. Except for Lu Yong, whose father had a bad temper, the others were honest and timid. They didn't dare to offend others and only wanted to scare people. There was nothing his father could do about Lu Yong and his grandma, so why not just let them threaten him?
Who wants to be soft to a soft persimmon?
Unexpectedly, Lu Yong, who had been soft for many years, actually hardened up and became even more angry than his father, telling them to rent or leave if they wanted.
I was so angry with Doufu Fang that I shouted to leave that day, pretending to pack my things, thinking that Lu Yong's family should come to beg for mercy, but they waited and waited until Lu Yong came to urge them to leave.
In the twelfth month of winter, the Doufufang family almost got angry and had a quarrel with Lu Yong on the spot. The neighbors were all disturbed and came to watch the fun, but Lu Yong was like a bastard who had eaten a weight. They couldn't win the argument and let them Howl, but won't let go.
Lu Yong has been with Lu Xu for a long time, and his temper has also improved.
In the past, he was afraid of getting into trouble and provoking others. He was always afraid of causing trouble for his family and the shop. He always thought that he would give in and hide when he could. As long as he could go smoothly, it would be okay if he suffered a little loss.
But since he started doing business with Lu Xu, he has met more and more people, and gradually he has realized that people are of all kinds. Especially after he started to take charge of purchasing, he felt more and more that people were different.
Some people were afraid that he would not want their vegetables, so they were nervous and picked the vegetables cleanly and waited for him outside the shop early in the morning.
Some people will put the good dishes on top and the bad ones at the bottom, for fear that he will dig through the basket to check.
Someone will ask him what dish he wants tomorrow and pick it out for him according to his request.
Some people are embarrassed to bargain, some ask for prices randomly, some people are confused and confused, some people deliberately raise the price to see what kind of food he lacks, some people pretend to be pitiful, some people pretend to be tough... There are also people who threaten him, scold him, ridicule him, etc. wait wait wait.
After Lu Yong had seen more, he no longer felt that people were as scary as he imagined.
Now it is clear that the tofu shop owner and his wife want to beg him to buy tofu. They don't talk about the tofu properly, nor the price, nor the quality, but they threaten not to rent their yard.
Lu Yongyang.
What does this mean?
Is it because his family is poor and he is easy to bully, so he identifies them and relies on their little rent?
Or do you think he is the kind of person who would cheat Lu Xu for his own rent?
"If you like it, don't rent it! Get out of here!"
For the first time in his life, Lu Yong said harsh words to someone.
After saying that, looking at the surprised expressions of Tofu Fang and everyone in their family, I felt very happy.
Cool!
He thought about it, how good it would be to deliver tofu to their food store now. Prepare as much as you need, increase or decrease, as long as it was agreed upon the day before, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. We have been working together for so long, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, we have never been late and delayed their business. The soy milk is thick and fragrant, and we never mix it with too much water to show that it is inferior. People are willing to try any new products in their shop, and they are even given half a plate of tofu every day. Used to replace damage caused by bumps on the road.
He didn't want to give up such good tofu because his brain was caught in the door, and he had to cooperate with their difficult tofu shop!
Phew, let’s go!
Their family has had enough of this frustration!
Lu Yong was stubborn and refused to back down for the sake of face.
Since Tofu Fang thought it was out of charity that he rented their house, Lu Yong refused to rent it!
In the dead of winter, Lu Yong took a deep breath and braved the wind and snow with his father to renovate the roof of the house and paint the empty house before the end of the year.
Throw away all the broken things left behind in the tofu shop. When the weather gets warmer and the road becomes easier, he and his father will re-install the fire bed, buy more wood, and build some new furniture for her sister and grandma to move over.
This house faces the sun and is warm in winter!
After this tidying up, neighbors from all over the world also saw some clues - Lu Yong's family has some money and is tough.
Some people had previously said that Lu Yong had become a confidant of the second leader of the Guanyang Alliance, but no one believed it. Their impression was that Lu Yong was dull and stupid. He could do manual labor and run errands, but what else could he do?
But soon, the new year's gift given to him by Lu Xu came out, and the conflict between him and Tofu Fang also came out.
Neighbors envied him for his good luck, and some praised him for having kicked out the tofu shop long ago.
This should be put in advance. Others must advise them not to be angry with Qian. The Tofufang couple tolerated their unpleasant words and got over it. Why bother having to deal with the rent.
Then, before and after New Year's Eve, people who came to his house to pay New Year's greetings all asked him if he could find them a similar job in the Guanyang Alliance.
Even the people introduced by the matchmaker who proposed marriage to his sister were in better condition than before.
Lu Yong finally understood. Only when he lived a good life could others respect him and feel that his sister deserved a better family.
People are snobbish. Although his sister is still smart, capable, gentle and beautiful no matter whether he makes money or not, others just think that once their house is renovated and they eat meat during the New Year, his sister will be different from before.
He looked at it coldly, feeling an indescribable depression, but he had never wanted to make money or get ahead like he did now.
The anger he had built up since the year before lasted until the Lantern Festival. Lu Xu was away and he had no one to talk to and no one to help him solve his doubts. Lu Yong was bored and bored, so he went to Gouzi.
The two of them have to take turns to look after the store, and they both have gentle tempers, but the dog is more cowardly than him. When they meet in the store, Gouzi always smiles at him, with a bit of inferiority complex and to please him.
Some people look down on Gouzi, but not Lu Yong.
He felt that he and Gouzi were similar, except that Gouzi's family had worse conditions than his and had a more difficult starting point.
The two of them cleaned the shop, added firewood, washed the dishes, wiped the table, and swept the floor when they had nothing to do.
If they don't open for a month, everything will be covered with dust. They are in the food business, so they have to be particularly particular about this aspect.
They saw that the large white paper Lu Xu had posted earlier was a little dirty, so they discussed buying new ones to paste on.
Looking at the new and clean Lu Ji Restaurant, both of their hearts became brighter.
Lu Yong inexplicably felt that Gouzi understood him at that moment.
This shop not only belongs to Lu Xu, but also a treasure for them to settle down and live in.
Lu Yong suddenly didn't want to see the shop idle like this.
"Let's cook Yuanxiao and sell it!" Lu Yong suggested.
"Cooking Lantern Festival?"
"So many people have returned from the battlefield this year, and there are many people coming to see the lanterns. My mother can make Lantern Festival. All she needs to do is buy glutinous rice and sugar. Let's make less, and we won't lose money." Lu Yong wiped the bench and said with his On impulse, he told Gouzi about his plan.
Except for Shouhou, no one had ever discussed anything like this with Gouzi. He thought about it seriously and thought it was feasible. The two of them roughly calculated how much money they would need in the shop. Gouzi also suggested: "If we make a profit, we will tell the second boss. If we lose, I will use the money to fill the hole, and we won't talk about it."
Lu Yong thought about it and wanted to say that I would make up for the loss, but he didn't have much money - he had already bought materials to repair the roof and renovate the house.
Gouzi saw that he was in trouble and said with a smile: "I am rich now!"
The two of them decided to go back and prepare.
Lu Yong’s mother knows how to make Yuanxiao. After some discussion, the family decided to support Lu Yong to try it.
Gou Zi's family is more active than his. They have money and have the confidence to make mistakes. Yue Niang immediately agreed to help Gou Zi make Lantern Festival. Their parents also planned to make some lanterns to sell. In previous years, they also sold lanterns, but they couldn't afford it. The quality of the paper and lanterns is not good, so I don’t make much money, but I know how much I can sell and at what price.
The old couple had thought about it. If Gouzi and the others lost money, they would make up for it with the money they earned from selling lanterns, so that the two children would not lose money.
It was just the first day, but Lu Xu brought his family here and caught them as soon as they entered the city.
Gouzi was very proud. Whether it was the lanterns his parents sold or Lu Yong's idea to cook Yuanxiao, he felt extremely smart and wanted to share and show off with Lu Xu right away.
But not Lu Yong. He is no longer a stupid silly dog. He has learned to bend the rules in his past. Lu Xu saw his self-made idea. Not only was he nervous, but he was also shy. .
Lu Yong was a little at a loss.
His parents and sisters were also a little panicked because of the infection.
Lu Xu didn't notice at all. As soon as he entered the shop, he just looked at the glutinous rice balls.
The boiling water in the pot has begun to boil.
The glutinous rice balls are round and plump, covered with glutinous rice flour, and the soup turns white.
Lu Xu came up to him and asked without saying anything, "What kind of stuffing is it? What kind of stuffing is it?"
"Brown sugar, sesame, and bean paste. Can I scoop some for you to try?" Lu Yong's mother was cooking. She saw that Lu Xu was not much different from ordinary diners. She looked very greedy, so she didn't panic anymore. .
"Okay!" Lu Xu asked everyone to sit down. While sitting down, he made a high-sounding statement: "Let's talk about it first. I'm here to go shopping and watch the lanterns today. I just want to eat and not help!"
Lu Yong came over with glutinous rice balls. He was startled when he heard this and looked at Lu Xu in shock.
Lu Xu, don’t you say something to him for using the food shop to do business privately?
Lu Xu was also shocked. Xian didn't worry about Lu Yong at all, and said in disbelief: "You don't really want to detain me to help, do you?"
Lu Zhou and Yan Jun both looked away and looked down at the bowl. Look at the glutinous rice balls. They are white and round. It is better to eat the glutinous rice balls while they are hot!
The author has something to say:
ask:
What did you learn from Lu Xu?
Lu Yong: Temper! backbone! a!
What are you most afraid of your friends learning from you?
Lu Xu: Lazy?
