Chapter 40: The early death of white moonlight in the chronology 6
of.
In the end, she was extremely happy and sad. When she entered the yard, she found that the main room door was open.
Li Ruoshuang's smile froze on her face, she tugged at the hem of Li Ruoxue's clothes, who had just parked the tractor outside, and tried her best to keep her voice low, "Sister, I remember very clearly, when I left, I put the hall in the hall. The door and the mesh door are all closed."
"I don't know, let's prepare for the wrong thing first."
The two sisters exchanged glances in the dark, and moved to the corner of the wall tacitly.
When it was less than one meter away from the house door, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly sounded inside the wall, Li Ruoshuang and Li Ruoxue retreated to both sides of the door, and at the same time raised the farm implements in their hands above their heads , staring at the screen mesh door intently, only to wait for the person to come out to determine that the gangster slammed down.
The aunt forgot to put it in the house, and the rainwater seeping into the bucket would affect the business tomorrow. He put on a raincoat and returned home.
Locked from the outside.
Li Lewei took out the key strangely to open the door. The buckets in the yard had been put away. At the same time, he also found that the carport was empty, and there was no trace of the tractor. He went to the house and knocked on his mother's door, but there was no response. , pushed open the door, no one was there, and knocked on my aunt's door, but no one responded, opened the door and saw that no one was there.
It was raining in the middle of the night, where did this go? Li Lewei decided not to return to the melon land today, and waited for his mother and aunt in the room.
Originally, he was waiting while reading the planting book, but he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the table accidentally, and woke him up when he heard the movement of the tractor entering the door.
Li Lewei walked out sleepily, and she met her mother holding a pole and her aunt holding a shovel.
The dim light in the main room hit Li Ruoxue and Li Ruoshuang in the face through the screen door, the three stared at each other for a few seconds, Li Lewei scratched his head in confusion, "Mom, aunt , are you going to hit me?"
Li Ruoxue and Li Ruoshuang smiled awkwardly, put away their weapons at the fastest speed in their lives, the former said, "Didn't you go to the melon land, why did you come back?"
Li Ruoshuang answered, "We thought there was a burglar in the house."
Li Lewei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I thought you forgot to collect the pickle bucket. Then again, it was midnight, why did you drive the tractor, and you got wet? Hurry in and change your clothes before freezing. on."
Li Ruoxue gave her sister a look of "you go back to the house first, I'll deal with it", because she didn't think of any suitable reason, Li Ruoshuang obeyed after receiving the suggestion from the elder sister, and she didn't know what the other party did After all, when she woke up the next day, Li Lewei didn't ask any more about what happened last night, which made her really relieved.
I prepared ingredients at home for a few days, and practiced the operation steps of shaved ice and milk tea repeatedly.
At this time, the trolley that Li Lewei entrusted was also delivered, and there was also a simple version of the hand-operated small ice crusher. Everything was ready, only to be opened.
, a coal stove, paper cups and straws of different capacities, as well as a large bucket of well water that has just been squeezed out and breezing on the tractor, and the family of three boarded the car and drove to the Red Sun Square in the county seat, which is adjacent to the pedestrian street and park, or leads to The only way to go to the cinema is the golden stall that Li Ruoshuang considered and decided.
Li Ruoxue wanted to help set things up, but was stopped by Li Ruoshuang, "There are me and Le Wei here, put your heart back in your stomach. It's getting late, sister, you should go back and set up a stall already."
"Well, when will I pick you up?" Li Ruoxue asked before leaving.
Li Ruoshuang estimated, "Come here at five or six in the afternoon."
"OK."
Watching the eldest sister leave, the sun rises, and the temperature almost rises, Li Ruoshuang puts the things in a convenient place, and when the store of the county ice cream factory opens at eight o'clock, Li Lewei goes to buy A bucket of ice cubes.
After nine o'clock, there were significantly more pedestrians on the road. Li Ruoshuang hung a self-made billboard with cardboard shell indicating the main products and prices above the small trailer, and people soon surrounded .
I learned that pearl milk tea costs 1 yuan a cup and a bowl of watermelon shaved ice is 50 cents. Most people think it is a bit expensive, but as Li Ruoshuang introduced, the milk tea uses good tea leaves and fresh milk delivered that day , the pearls are also cooked on the spot, and the furnace was just sealed five minutes ago. There is also shaved ice, where the big watermelons are all placed there, bought and cut now, to ensure freshness.
Li Ruoshuang is beautiful, soft-spoken, very convincing, and soon there will be someone who is not bad for money, a little apple-faced girl in a small apricot floral dress from He took out a dollar and fifty cents from his bag and became the first person to try "crab". "I want a cup of milk tea and a bowl of watermelon shaved ice."
"Okay." Li Ruoshuang put the money in her pocket, bent over and carried a large watermelon, cut it in half, peeled it neatly, cut it into pieces the size of hand-rubbed mahjong, and filled a bowl , took Li Lewei's smoothie and poured it on top, poured two tablespoons of her homemade jam and red and green beans that had been boiled out of sand, attached a plastic spoon, and handed it to her first customer, "Please taste."
The little girl took it over with bright eyes, took a tentative bite, and her expression immediately became happy, "It's delicious." , sweet honey, the irritability caused by the heat dissipated instantly.
Li Ruoshuang's speed of making milk tea was well controlled. When she was finished, the little girl was eating the last piece of watermelon, and the other party's first reaction to drinking milk tea: took out two dollars from the bag. .
"Two more glasses and more pearls, I'm going to bring them back to my family to taste."
"No problem, just a moment."
, Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei were too busy to fly.
In the process of making shaved ice, there is also the old uncle, aunt and grandmother who "wasted money" unwilling to spend milk tea.
Many people buy things with a mentality of joining in the fun. Seeing that there are many people around Li Ruoshuang's booth, passersby will unconsciously take a few more glances, and then be attracted.
All morning, Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei didn't stop their hands, they didn't even have time to eat lunch, they nibbled on two pieces of watermelon pad, it's done, in Li Ruoshuang's words, the happiness of making money She had forgotten her hunger.
The business is very good, and because everyone wants to be fresh, it is estimated that there may be leftover ingredients at two o'clock in the afternoon, and even the watermelons are sold separately.
The weather was so hot, and there were still three or four hours before Li Ruoxue came to pick them up. Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei discussed it and decided not to wait. They stopped a car on the side of the road and went to Wenyang Town They used two yuan as the fare to get the driver to bring the two of them back to town with their belongings.
When I got off the car on the side of the road, I happened to meet Li Ruoxue, who was worried that her sister and son would close the stall ahead of time, driving a tractor. Li Lewei moved the pickle bucket forward, and put the trolley into the carriage. .
Li Ruoxue glanced at the empty ingredient bucket and water bucket, and saw her sister and son with sullen faces, for a while she was not sure whether the business was good or not.
The three of them returned home without a word, closed the door and unloaded the truck and entered the main room silently. Li Ruoxue was making a comforting letter. Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei screamed and rushed over to hug the elder sister/mother, excited He shouted in her ear, "I made money, I really made money."
To make Li Ruoxue's heart, it's like a roller coaster, up and down, and laughed, "How much money did you earn? Is it worth your excitement?"
Li Ruoshuang, "I don't know, I'll count." She untied her pocket, opened the zipper, and dumped all the banknotes and coins on the table. When the number of sheets was over, the three of them were stunned. They didn't expect to count all of them, and there would be as much as 213 yuan. In this way, after deducting the cost, they could earn at least 150 yuan.
The high profit on the first day further stimulated Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei’s fighting spirit. In the next 20 days, except for cloudy and rainy days, they went to the county town to set up stalls every day. In addition to the original flavor, Li Ruoshuang has also developed two new flavors, peach and grape, which are very popular.
As for the turnover, apart from breaking 200 on the first day, the following ten days were stable at around 160, and the average daily profit fluctuated by 111, but the range was not large.
Catching the tail of summer, Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei made a lot of money by selling shaved ice and milk tea. They may not believe what they say. The turnover and profits of the two aunts and nephews in 20 days have exceeded Li Ruoxue More than half a year's pickles income.
Three days before the start of school, Li Ruoshuang and Li Lewei suspended the milk tea business, and they were not in a hurry to split the money, but discussed using the money as the principal to rent a store in the county.
The idea was put forward by Li Ruoshuang, "It's not a long-term solution to be exposed to the wind and the sun, and I'm about to start school soon. Rent a store in a high-traffic area and hire someone to help.”
Li Lewei is not someone who doesn't know how to change things. Although opening a store and hiring people will increase the cost, but after Li Ruoshuang starts school, he can't bear the work for two by himself. Besides, having a storefront means that There is no need to commute to and from the county and town every day, which means a stable source of customers. I quickly agreed after I figured it out.
On September 1st, Li Ruoshuang, accompanied by Li Lewei, went to No. 2 Middle School to go through the admission procedures for repeat students. After paying the tuition and accommodation fees, Li Lewei helped her move her luggage to the dormitory and left alone to go to the surrounding relatives. Look at the storefront.
Li Ruoshuang held the original textbook, went to the Academic Affairs Office to get the revised textbook, went to the new class in charge of Lao Li, and reported to Class 8 of Senior Three.
On the way, she declined several boys who wanted to help her hold the textbooks. Li Ruoshuang climbed up the fourth floor alone and walked into the classroom before the end of the morning reading.
"Report."
Lao Li was holding a class meeting on the stage when he saw Li Ruoshuang with a kind smile, "You're here." He pointed to an vacant seat in the aisle in the fourth row in the middle, "Your seat is there, Hurry up and sit down and continue the class meeting."
"Okay."
The arrival of Li Ruoshuang had a big impact on the students in Class 8. None of them thought that the school girl who had graduated but the legend of her beauty was still circulating on the campus of No. 2 Middle School would come back to repeat her studies, and she would also be with He/they became classmates, and many people were excited.
Old Li coughed heavily, pulled the attention of his classmates, and continued to speak.
At the same time, Li Ruoshuang, who was in the audience, immediately became happy after seeing who Qing Qing was at the same table: this is not the little brother Zhang Mingchao who put down his "ruthless words" in public two months ago and wanted to escape from Lao Li Wuzhi Mountain Well, the true fragrance law is never late.
