Food Tycoon

"Boss, boss!" Yu Lu heard someone calling himself by his ear. He came back from his trance, blinked, and saw Ah Hai's slightly worried eyes: "Well, ah? What's wrong?" He finally recovered Consciousness, thinking that my dream of repaying debts has been shattered like this, and I will lose my job starting tomorrow, my abdomen feels like I have been punched hard, my internal organs have been displaced, my stomach is cramping uncomfortably, and even tears are coming from my eye sockets After rushing out, he sniffed hard to hide his loss of control.

Ah Hai glanced at him silently, bent down to pick up the things that fell from his hands: "Boss, you're home."

Yu Lu looked at Ah Hai dumbly, and nodded silently.What should I do, also fight guerrilla warfare with urban management?Or change to another place to set up a stall, where to go?Yu Lu was in a mess for a while.

Ah Hai didn't call him, and followed behind with all his things alone. Yu Bing was a sensitive child, and he felt that Abo was exuding sadness, so he didn't dare to disturb him. There are many things, and obediently helped to take two bags of clothes.When Yulu needed someone's attention, the two finally turned their fighting into friendship and formed an alliance.

Yu Lu walked for a long time before he remembered his things. Looking back, two men, one big and one small, were struggling to carry a lot of things and followed behind.Yu Lu quickly went back and took some things from Yu Bing and Ah Hai: "Let me do it."

Ah Hai didn't refuse either, and gave him some.Yu Bing insisted on carrying a bag: "Abo, I can carry it, I can carry it."

Yu Lu patted his head: "Hey, take your clothes yourself."

Ah Hai saw that his face became calmer: "Let's open the shop."

Yu Lu suddenly looked up at him, this was the second explosive topic he heard today, his mouth moved, but he didn't speak, his thoughts were running like a runaway horse uncontrollably, opening a shop?Do you really want to open a shop?It's not that he never thought about opening a store, but the matter of opening a store has always been placed after repaying the usury. Now that the usury has not been repaid, he wants to open a store. What about the usury?But if you don't open a shop, you can afford usury wherever you have money.

Ah Hai said nothing more.Yu Lu walked ahead, instead of heading home, he walked to the street where stalls were usually set up, where a few urban management officers in dark blue uniforms and white helmets were instructing a few migrant workers in plain clothes to clean up the goods. In the simple sheds they built, many stall owners' carts were still parked on the side of the road, and the pots were still steaming.More tourists looked inexplicably at the law enforcers who were forcibly demolishing.

Someone knew Yu Lu and Ah Hai, and hurriedly yelled: "Boss, what's going on? Why are you not allowed to set up a stall? Where can we go to eat your claypot rice in the future?"

Yu Lu saw some familiar faces and wanted to respond to everyone with a smile, but his smile was not much better than crying: "I don't know the situation, I went out today."

A man in a blue uniform said in an official tone: "In the future, we will no longer be able to set up stalls on the side of the road. It will affect the image of the island and scare away tourists. This is not worth the candle. If you do it again, you will be fined once." Once, never relent!"

A tourist said: "Is there any mistake? Without these food stalls, what would I do on this island? Drink the northwest wind? You think it's not good to put it on the side of the road, so you can designate a special food street for them. It can't be banned for no reason, who doesn't know that the biggest feature of this island is snacks."

The man in uniform continued to speak in an official tone: "Isn't the biggest feature of this island not the migratory birds? Aren't you here to watch the birds? Besides these roadside stalls, there are still many regular restaurants and snack bars. The sanitation of the roadside stalls is worrying, and it's also for you For the sake of your health."

Someone scolded in a low voice: "For the sake of your paralysis!"

Someone asked Yu Lu again: "Boss, will you still sell claypot rice and barbecue in the future, won't you be able to eat it?"

Yu Lu moved his mouth, not knowing how to answer everyone's words.Ah Hai said from the side: "Our boss is planning to open a restaurant, and when the shop is renovated, please come and join us."

A small cheer erupted from the crowd: "Really? Where? Is it still on the island?"

Ah Hai looked at Yu Lu: "Boss, I'm asking you."

Yu Lu had no choice but to follow Ah Hai's topic: "We haven't confirmed this yet, but when it is confirmed, I will definitely tell everyone."

Someone took out his mobile phone: "Boss, do you have WeChat or Weibo, so you can tell us what's going on then."

Only then did Yu Lu realize the inconvenience of not having a smartphone, he muttered, "I'm sorry, I don't have that."

Everyone sighed in disappointment: "Then how can I know where and when the boss will open the shop?"

Yu Lu also felt a little regretful, although he said that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but these are all his regular customers, with them, the popularity will start immediately, don't take it slowly.

Just when everyone was feeling full of regret, Yu Lu's cell phone rang, and it was Liu Haoyang who called: "Ah Lu, where are you?"

"Mice, what's the matter?" Yu Lu's heart arose, maybe it was Ah Hai's family who came here, this is really going to kill him.

Liu Haoyang smiled and said, "I can't find you if I have nothing to do? I'm going to your island to do some field work. I'm done with work now, and I want to come to your house for barbecue. Is there anything to eat?" Liu Haoyang also came to Lu's house to eat Yes, I was full of praise for Ah Hai's barbecue, and even brought colleagues and friends over to give Yu Lu a pass.

Yu Lu smiled wryly: "No."

"Don't be so stingy, it's not that I don't give money." Liu Haoyang shouted in a good mood.

Yu Lu said: "Am I such a stingy person? No stalls are allowed on the island. If you want to eat in the future, go to my house. I will bake it for you."

Liu Haoyang scolded: "Fuck, whose bad idea is this. I said why are there so many people on the island today, and the urban management came to demolish it? Where are you?"

"The place where I usually set up a stall." Yu Lu said.

"Then you wait, I'll come over quickly." Liu Haoyang said and hung up the phone.

In less than 5 minutes, Liu Haoyang arrived. After he understood the situation, he couldn't help cursing his mother in a low voice. He knew the situation of Yu Lu's family very well. If he couldn't set up a stall, how would he live in the future. "Then what are you going to do?"

Yu Lu said: "It's not clear yet, maybe we will open a store."

"Then don't pay back the usury money?" Liu Haoyang looked at him, "Didn't it mean that the difference is not far? How much is the difference, how about I make it up for you?"

Yu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "No, I'll open the shop first, anyway, I've been in debt for so long, and it's not too late."

Liu Haoyang said, "Then what can I do for you?"

Yu Lu said: "I'm still not sure where to open the store. If I can bring these old customers there after opening the store, the store will develop quickly. If I can't make a decision here, everyone will have no way of knowing."

Liu Haoyang said: "It's simple, you create a Weibo or something, let everyone add it, once the store opens, announce the address and name of the store, won't everyone come?"

Yu Lu smiled helplessly: "I don't have it, the phone can't play that, and I can't play it either."

Liu Haoyang thought for a while and said, "Why don't I apply for a Weibo for you so that everyone can pay attention to it, and if there is news, I will post it for you?"

Yu Lu scratched his hair: "Can I?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, come here, I'll help you register one. Everyone, please add it." Liu Haoyang immediately took out his mobile phone, registered a Weibo account, and asked all the old customers present to add it, "Everyone is very helpful Promote it, pay more attention to my Weibo, and support my friend's business in the future."

Liu Haoyang's move was like giving away pillows from sleepiness, which solved Yu Lu's troubles, and he was very grateful.

In the evening, Yulu left Liu Haoyang and his colleagues at home for dinner, and Ah Hai cooked a delicious meal by himself.It was the first time for Liu Haoyang to eat a dish made by Ah Hai, and he almost swallowed the whole bowl: "A Hai, you are amazing, it turns out that barbecue and claypot rice are just a small test, and cooking is what you do. It’s really good. If you open a restaurant at your level, the door will be smashed, it will definitely be popular! If it’s not popular, come to me!” After speaking, he patted Ah Hai on the shoulder very proudly.

Ah Hai glanced at the shoulder patted by Liu Haoyang, who was slightly drunk, and said nothing.Liu Haoyang put his arms around Yu Lu's shoulder again, leaned close to his ear and said: "Ah Lu, don't worry, there is always a turning point and hope. With A Hai helping you, it will be a matter of time to pay off the debt. If you have any difficulties, you can still come to me, if you can help, I will definitely help." After finishing speaking, he burped.

With a smile on Yu Lu's face: "Okay, definitely."

The meal was quite late, and Liu Haoyang and his colleagues drank a little too much. Yu Lu said, "Mice, you won't be going back tonight. Just sleep at my house and go straight to work tomorrow morning."

Liu Haoyang hiccupped, smiled and squinted at Yu Lu: "Okay, I'll sleep with you."

His colleague pulled him up: "Xiao Liu, I still have to go back. There are still tasks early tomorrow morning, and you can't make it in time to go back here. Xiaoyu, there should be a ferry now, right?"

Yu Lu looked at the time, and it was almost ten o'clock: "Yes, there are, but I have to call the boat owner, why don't you stay here and go there early tomorrow morning."

The policeman said: "I have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow to go back. I don't think there will be a ferry early in the morning, and I still have to call someone, so it's better to call at night. Maybe they are still awake at the moment. Yu, help me go." Can I call the boat owner? Xiao Liu, get up, let's go back."

Yu Lu had no choice but to take the flashlight and send the two of them to the pier to take the ferry.Yu Lu also drank some wine, but he was not too drunk. Seeing that the two were staggering from drinking, he felt a little worried: "I'll take you across the sea."

Liu Haoyang wiped his face: "No need, don't go, go back to sleep early."

Yu Lu said: "It's okay, and it won't take much time. Anyway, the boat will come over after it passes by." You have to send it in person.

After sending Liu Haoyang across the sea, he came back with the ferry and went ashore, but he was not in a hurry to go back, and sat on the chair on the shore to enjoy the wind.It was mid-winter, and the small islands in the south also showed signs of winter. The night was still very cold, especially when the wind was strong, and people felt like being silly, but Yu Lu didn't feel anything special.

Thinking about today's events, Yu Lu's heart was still in a mess, and he buried his head in his knees. Do you really want to open a store? Now there is no way out. This is purely the rhythm of rushing ducks to the shelves.The dawn of liberation was clearly so close to him, but he fell into darkness again. It would be a lie to say that he was not depressed.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Lu found someone sitting next to him: "Why don't you go back? It's so windy outside."

Yu Lu raised his head and found Ah Hai sitting beside him: "Well, where is Ah Bing?"

"Already asleep." Ah Hai said.

Yu Lu got up: "Then go back." He was worried that his nephew would be alone at home.

Ah Hai put his hands in his trouser pockets: "Where are you going to drive?"

Yu Lu turned to look at him: "Huh?"

"store."

Yu Lu thought for a while: "The cost will be lower if you drive on the island."

"Why don't you contact the restaurant we saw today." Ah Hai suggested.

Yu Lu was stunned for a moment, then remembered: "Which one did you say you memorized the phone number today? That section of the road is more prosperous, and the transfer fee is probably not cheap."

"Try it."

Yu Lu took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already 10:30, and the other party might have rested: "Why don't you call tomorrow."

Ah Hai said: "It's not too late, those who run restaurants should not be resting now."

Yu Lu hesitated for a while, and dialed the phone. The phone rang twice before being picked up by the other party. Yu Lu asked, "Hi, may I ask if your hotel is for sale?"

It was a woman who answered the phone. When she heard this, she called out excitedly: "Husband, husband, come quickly, come quickly, someone is talking about the transfer."

Listening to the tone of the other party, Yu Lu seemed to be very much looking forward to someone talking about the transfer. Could it be that his hotel is not easy to transfer?After a while, a male voice rang out: "Hi, what's the boss's address?"

Yu Lu said, "My surname is Yu. What's your name, boss?"

"My surname is Li. Hello Boss Yu, do you want to rent the shop? What do you want to rent it for?" the other party asked eagerly.

Yu Lu hesitated for a moment: "I want to open a restaurant."

Boss Li seemed very excited: "Yes, yes, that's great. How does Boss Yu want to rent it?"

Yu Lu said, "How do you want to transfer it?"

Boss Li said: "My store has two floors, with a total area of ​​220 square meters. I signed a five-year contract, and there are three years left. The transfer fee is [-], including my existing decoration and all equipment. .The rent is [-] per month, utilities..."

Yu Lu interrupted him: "The transfer fee is too expensive."

Boss Li hurriedly said: "Boss Yu, don't worry, this is just what I mean. If you really want it, you can still discuss it. How about this? If you are free, come to my store tomorrow Take a look, let's talk, is that okay?"

Yu Lu looked at Ah Hai: "I'll discuss it with my family, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, okay, give me an answer no matter what, I'm the boss's message. Goodbye to the boss!" The other party hung up the phone cautiously.

Ah Hai looked at Yu Lu: "How to say?"

Yu Lu said: "It sounds like he is in a hurry to transfer the store. But the transfer fee is too expensive, it costs 6000 yuan, and the rent is not cheap, it costs [-] yuan a month." Yu Lu found that when he just opened the store, he faced So much pressure, money is far from enough!

Ah Hai said: "Since you are in a hurry to transfer, then delay him for two days and don't contact him first, the transfer fee can be lowered. If you call again tomorrow, just say you are looking at another house."

The next day, Boss Li really called to ask about Yu Lu's attitude. According to what Ah Hai said, Yu Lu was looking at other shops, and the other party really said that the transfer fee could be more discounted.

Yu Lu dragged on for another day before going to see the store with A Hai. After reading it, A Hai pointed out many problems, and finally sold the store for a transfer fee of 6 yuan. Ready to open anytime.All is ready except for the opportunity.

Yu Lu thought it was like a dream, so he could open a shop?
