The fairy of space also farms

Did the man do something wrong, and his face changed: "You young man, don't talk nonsense, why did I steal your shrimp? I fished this in the river myself, and your family has shrimp?"

Xu Ning sneered back: "Is there such a big shrimp in the river? You can catch one and let me have a look. Your motorcycle license plate is xxxx. When you came out of Qianlong Village this morning, there were shrimps scattered all over the road. Now there are still , That’s the criminal evidence. If you don’t admit it, we’ll go to the police station and let the police collect the evidence.”

The man finally turned pale with shock: "Where did I catch shrimp at your house? I fished it in the stream with a battery. Is that stream your house? Did you write your name?"

Xu Ning sneered: "The back mountains of Qianlong Village are all contracted by me, and the stream is also within the scope of my contract. I raise shrimps in the stream contracted by myself. Isn't this mine? What about pies, there are treasures everywhere? Let’s go, let’s go to the police station and let the police come and judge us, to see if you are illegally embezzling other people’s property.” Fortunately, this person met himself. You have to be beaten up by Fatty.

There was a large circle of spectators around, and Boss Wu, who bought the shrimp, was also a little surprised. To be honest, it is not uncommon to see people selling stolen goods in the market. There are always some people who are greedy for small profits and like to exchange other people's things , but it is still rare for someone like Xu Ning to come to the market to catch thieves and seize stolen goods.Everyone felt that this young man was either too inexperienced or fearless.

The man who stole the shrimp blushed and tried desperately to break free from Xu Ning's grip, but found that he was powerless, so he had to change his tone and say, "Little brother, I am indeed at fault for this, but I really don't know that it is your raising I thought it was wild, and you didn’t put a sign there.”

Xu Ning laughed loudly: "You said it was wild? Didn't write the sign? I blocked all the shrimps by the stream with barbed wire. Everyone knows that they are raised by others. If the shrimps in the stream are wild , it's your turn to fish, you're the smart one, the first one to find out? Everyone in our village is an idiot? If I didn't bump into you this morning, are you going to fish up all the shrimps in my stream? sold?"

The man who stole the shrimp turned pale: "No, no, little brother, I am just being greedy for a while, and I will never fish for shrimps again."

Xu Ning asked Boss Wu: "Boss, how many shrimps have you bought from him?"

Boss Wu was stopped by the question, whether to say it or not. If he said it, he was selling the stolen shrimp. If he didn’t say it, it would be cover-up. He smiled embarrassingly: "Actually, it’s not much, I just bought it three times." shrimp."

Xu Ning reckoned that two barrels of shrimp each time would weigh forty to fifty catties, 35 yuan a catty, and nearly 2000 yuan for one trip, which was enough to file a case. "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, then let's go to the police station. I will go to the police station to report the theft, and the case can be filed if it exceeds 2000 yuan. I believe that the shrimp you stole is definitely more than 2000 yuan. Boss Wu, you are an insider, please accompany me." Let me go together and assist in the investigation."

Boss Wu quickly waved his hand: "I won't go, I have other things to do. Besides, I don't know that his shrimps were stolen, so it can't be blamed on me." As he spoke, he slid into the crowd.

The man who stole the shrimp was so scared that he almost peed out: "Little brother, please forgive me, I will never dare again. I won't go to the police station, please let me go."

At this time, an acquaintance came from the crowd. He often went to Xu Ning's house to buy vegetables. When he saw Xu Ning flirting with this person, he asked curiously, "Hey, isn't this Boss Xiao Xu? Why are you fighting with someone?"

Xu Ning smiled helplessly: "No, I caught a person who stole shrimp from my house and took him to the police station to explain."

The acquaintance said: "Your shrimp can be sold? I went there a few days ago, and you said that it will be sold next month."

"It's not ready for sale yet, but I'm not too small. Before I started selling it myself, I was sold first, and I've sold it several times." As he spoke, he kicked the bucket.

The acquaintance looked at the man who stole the shrimp, and then looked at the bucket: "My man, the things in Boss Xu's house are really good. They are grown and raised with hard work, and they are not yours. You still have to be careful in life. Duty, if everyone is like you, taking other people's things as their own, this society will not be in chaos, do you think this is the case?"

This acquaintance is Chen Xiaolu's neighbor, a retired veteran cadre, who speaks in a way that makes the people around him nod repeatedly.The person who stole the shrimp wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

The old cadre said again: "Boss Xiao Xu, what are you going to do?"

Xu Ning said: "Isn't my classmate Xiaolu's husband the director of the police station? I'm going to ask him for help."

The old cadre quickly said: "Xiao Boss Xu, don't make too much noise about this matter. I think you should let him return all the money from selling the shrimps to you. You will have a record at the police station, and maybe you will be detained. No Great."

Xu Ning didn't intend to make a big deal at first, and it would be great if someone could help him with his ideas.The person who stole the shrimps heard the old cadre's words, and quickly said: "Yes, I will return the money to you, Boss Xu, just let me go, I will definitely return the money to you."

Xu Ning said: "Okay, how many times have you caught shrimps in total, and how much did you sell them for? If you return the money to me, I won't be held accountable."

"I have only fished four times in total. Today is the fourth time. I haven't sold it yet. The previous few times I sold it for more than 4000 yuan. I will definitely send you the money when I go back." The man who stole the shrimp repeatedly begged for mercy.

Xu Ning said: "Well, tell me what your name is and where you live. Don't even try to tell me false information, or think about sneaking around. I remember your motorcycle license plate number. If you don't give it to me this afternoon Send it here. I will report to Director Zheng at the police station tomorrow, no matter how many times your motorcycle changes hands, you will be found.”

The man lowered his head: "I must, I will send the money to you this morning." Then he said his name and home address, and it turned out that this man was from Sanlipo.

Xu Ning let go of the opponent's hand and looked at the two buckets of shrimp: "What about this shrimp?"

The other party said: "No, I'll give it back to you." He pushed the motorcycle behind him and hurried away, not even the bucket.

The people around watched for a long time, and they were a little surprised to see that the matter was resolved so smoothly. This young man is really confident and knows the director of the police station, no wonder he dared to directly arrest people in the market.

The onlookers slowly dispersed, and the veteran cadre said: "Boss Xiao Xu, the shrimps are all fished out, so let's sell them."

"Sell it. I'll give you some prawns, old man. Thank you today." Xu Ning quickly reached out to fish some prawns, but found that there was nothing to put them in. The prawns were alive. If they were put in the vegetable basket, they would die. When it was running out, I ran to the small shop next to it and bought a plastic bag, packed twenty or thirty prawns in the plastic bag, and handed it to the old man. fruits and vegetables, as well as fish and shrimp, then you don’t have to go to my house to buy vegetables, you can go directly to the store to buy them, saving you from going that long way, and there are fresh ones every day.”

The old cadre laughed: "Okay, I think you should have set up your own shop a long time ago. The things grown at home are so good, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. If you go to your house to buy them, many people are unwilling to leave That's the way."

"That's right. When my restaurant is ready, tell Xiaolu, and she will tell you where the store is. I guess it's on Dongzheng Street, not too far from my brother's restaurant."

"Okay, I'll wait. Thank you for the shrimp!" The old cadre left with the shrimp in his hand.

Someone came over again: "Boss, you should sell all your shrimp to me."

Xu Ning looked up and saw that it was Boss Wu who had just run away, and asked in surprise, "Boss Wu, why are you back again?"

"Hey, there's no other way, the guests have already made reservations. Little brother, I really didn't know he stole your shrimp to sell." Boss Wu showed a look of embarrassment. They don't produce prawns here. It's not cheap, it costs 30 yuan a catty, and the small river prawns are not delicious. The customers come for the prawns. If there are no prawns, the customers will run away.

Xu Ning looked at Boss Wu and sighed. These businessmen were all grown-ups. Once they made a profit, they swarmed up like flies. If there was any trouble, they would grease the soles of their feet and slip away faster than rabbits. : "How many shrimp do you want?"

Boss Wu said: "I want all of these." Probably not enough.

"40 yuan a catty."

Boss Wu was stunned for a moment: "Why is it so expensive?" It was five yuan more expensive than the guy who stole the shrimp.

Xu Ning said: "This is the market price. I haven't reached the harvesting period yet. If I wait another month, my shrimp will definitely be bigger. It's a pity to sell it now. Besides, I lost a lot this morning. , That bastard stole two buckets full of shrimps, I caught him, he ran fast on his motorcycle, and all the shrimps were thrown out, at least half of them were missing."

Boss Wu was heartbroken. Such a good shrimp was wasted like that: "Little brother, your family is from Qianlong Village? Will you come to sell shrimp in the future?"

Xu Ning said: "I won't sell it for the time being. I will open a fresh food store on the street after a while. Then you can come to my store to buy."

Boss Wu showed embarrassment: "The customers in my store come to eat shrimp every day. If the stock is out of stock, it will affect the business. Can you provide me with the stock first?"

Xu Ningxin said, I haven't eaten it yet, and my brother's store hasn't offered it yet, so you sell it first, and you want to open a shop to do business.But he was still a guest anyway, so he said: "It's okay. If you want, you can come to Qianlong Village to pull it yourself. I don't have time to deliver it. It's still 40 yuan a catty. You can find out when you go to Qianlong Village. My name is Xu Ning. "

"Okay. Then weigh these shrimps for me." Boss Wu said, pointing to the shrimps in the bucket.

After selling the shrimp, Xu Ning returned to Master Wu with two empty buckets.Master Wu hurriedly pulled Xu Ning back: "Tell me, what happened just now?" He saw the commotion over there just now, but he couldn't leave the booth here, and he was already curious to death.

"Catch a thief." Then he told what happened.

Master Wu was amazed when he heard it: "You are quite courageous, and you dare to arrest people directly by yourself."

Xu Ning patted his chest and said: "What am I afraid of! He has ghosts in his heart, and I have evidence, so I am not afraid of him. Besides, my classmate's husband is the director of the police station, so I am not afraid of him playing tricks. Just now I bought all the shrimps. , I didn’t keep it for you, if Master Wu wants to eat shrimp, you can go to my house to get it yourself.”

Master Wu smiled and said, "Okay. I also sold some of your vegetables to you, indiscriminately. The money is here, you take it."

Xu Ning was also polite, took the money without counting it, stuffed it into his pocket, took out his mobile phone and called Xun Xu: "Have you finished delivering the food? Come to the market to pick me up after delivery. Let me tell you." , I just caught the shrimp thief. He was selling shrimp in the market, and I had a good meal. The guy stole our shrimp for several days and sold it for thousands of dollars. He said he would give us money later Go there. He will definitely send it away, if not, I will go to Zheng Feng, check his motorcycle number, find his home, arrest him and detain him for a few days, hehe."

Xu Ning was talking happily here, while Xun Xu was in a panic on the other end, and couldn't get in the way. Finally, Xu Ning stopped talking and quickly asked, "Did he hurt you?"

Xu Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "Of course not. He was wronged, he didn't dare to hit someone, and it would be even worse if he hit someone. Okay, it's okay, you can come and pick me up later. That's it, hang up."

Master Wu asked, "Who are you calling?"

Xu Ning smiled: "It's the long-term worker of my family. He went to deliver vegetables. I do business with cooking oil factories and schools, and I deliver vegetables to them every day."

Master Wu said enviously, "Your business is getting bigger and bigger."

Xu Ning shook his head and said, "The cost of making small troubles is too high. You have to hire a lot of people to work, and you have to pay dozens of people's wages every month." Xu Ning was also worried when he thought about the wages of those people, although It's cheap, but it costs more than 1000 a month for each person. There are a dozen students, a few elderly people, and some temporary workers. The monthly salary is tens of thousands. It's impossible to find a way to get some money.Let's see if there is a suitable machine in the future, and buy some machines to replace it. It should be cheaper than hiring someone.

It is definitely not enough to rely on these vegetables to maintain the family's expenses. It seems that the shrimps are really going to be fished out and sold. There are also eels and loaches in the paddy fields. I don't know if they are big enough.Rice field eels are used to dry ginseng in the summer heat. Although the summer heat has passed, rice field eels are still a great tonic. Whether it is loach or rice field eels, they can cost 40 yuan a catty.

While Xu Ning was waiting for Xun Xu, he went to buy pork again. Seeing that the pork ribs were fresh, he bought some more ribs, which Xun Xun liked to eat.With so many people in the family, it is definitely not enough to rely on the vegetarian dishes from my own home. It must be accompanied by some meat dishes. My home is not without meat, but the shrimp, rat meat, eel, loach and mutton are occasionally given to everyone. It's okay to try something new, but it's not worth it to eat for a long time!So they still have to go to the street to buy meat every day, those girls who are growing up, how can they do without meat.

When Xu Ning's cell phone rang again, the sequence arrived.Half of the vegetables that Xu Ning left at Master Wu’s place were sold, and there were still some left over. Xu Ning said, “Master Wu, if you want more, just take some to eat. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it away.” Take it home You can eat it or send it to Xu Tao's store.

Master Wu waved his hand: "No need, you can take it away, I have loofah and pumpkin and that's enough."

Xu Ning put the meat he bought into a basket, and walked towards the entrance of the market with the basket in one hand and two buckets in the other.Seeing him carrying a basket and bucket from afar, Xun Xu hurried over to help take the basket. "Where did the bucket come from?"

Xu Ning said, "It's the guy who stole our shrimp."

"Where's the person?" Xun Xu asked angrily.

"Leave early, go back and get us money."

"How is the business? Have you found a buyer?" Xun Xu asked.

"Don't mention it, no. After a while, let's go to Brother Tao's shop, have breakfast, and then look around the shop. Let's also rent a shop to sell vegetables. Fruits and vegetables, fish and shrimp, and mutton in the future, all It can be sold in the store." Xu Ning happily told Xun Xu about his plan.

Xun Xu said, "Then who will come to see the shop?"

"I already have a candidate, let my eldest brother and sister-in-law look after the store for us." Xu Ning said.

"Aren't they going to open a breakfast shop?"

Xu Ning said: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law don't know how to make breakfast, and they are still learning from Brother Tao. In fact, the second sister-in-law has always wanted her younger brother and daughter-in-law to cook breakfast, and they have almost learned Tao's craftsmanship. Now the eldest brother is back. Well, the couple have been in the store for so long, what do you ask them to do, do you think this conflict is not easy to resolve?"

Xun Xu said: "It's true. You open a shop and ask your brother to manage it for you, and you pay them wages?"

Xu Ning said: "I actually have two options. Either I will pay him a salary and help me look after the store; or he will open a store and buy goods from me and sell them himself, but he has to bear his own risk. It depends on their own choice. .”

Xun Xu thought for a while: "I think it's better to ask someone to help you look after the store. We earn our own money."

"That's not to say, if it's our own store, we have to bear the risk by ourselves, and the cost of labor and renting the store is not low." Xu Ning has not thought about this issue.

Arriving at Xu Tao's store, it was the peak time for breakfast, but Xu Ning found Zeng Ying sitting behind the cash register in a daze. In the past, only when someone was checking out, was there someone behind the cash register.

Xu Ning walked over to say hello: "Second sister-in-law, are you busy?"

Seeing Xu Ning, Zeng Ying smiled: "Brother and sister-in-law are helping, so they are busy. Ah Ning, do you have breakfast?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Okay, let's have breakfast in the store, and I have something to talk to my elder brother and sister-in-law."

"Okay, take your seats."

Xu Ning went to the kitchen to say hello to Xu Tao and Xu Jun, and sat upstairs with Xun Xu.There are air-conditioners on the three floors of the restaurant, but there are people coming and going downstairs, so the little air-conditioning has been released a lot, it is better to be upstairs, it is cooler.

Xu Ning went up to the third floor, but he didn't find Zeng Chao. They sat down, and Xu Jun's daughter-in-law Wang Yumei came up after a while: "Ningning, what do you want to eat?" Jun is a classmate, and the couple are five or six years older than Xu Ning. They almost watched Xu Ning grow up, so Wang Yumei has always called Xu Ning's nickname "Ning Ning" affectionately.

Wang Yumei's personality is very gentle and soft-spoken.When they got married, Xu Ning was still in high school, and he had always had a good impression of this sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, are you still used to staying at home when you come back?" He said and handed the menu to Xunxu, asking him to order one.

Wang Yumei smiled: "Fortunately, I can take care of the elderly and children." In fact, Wang Yumei didn't want to come back that much. They worked outside, and the couple could earn thousands of dollars a month. Comfortable, there will be no conflicts with mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Xu Ning asked casually, "Why didn't you see Zeng Chao today?"

"Zeng Chao said he was too busy here, so he asked for leave and went back." When Wang Yumei said this, she smiled helplessly.

Xun Xu ordered, Wang Yumei wrote it down, Xu Ning added a few more, and then said to Wang Yumei: "Sister-in-law, you and elder brother will be free in a while, I will discuss something with you."

Wang Yumei froze for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Because they had to discuss matters with Xu Jun, Xu Ning and Xun Xu were not in a hurry to finish eating, and drank tea slowly.The two looked out the window at the shop downstairs, and then discussed where it would be better to open the shop.

"I think it's better to open next to the market, so that when people go to the street to buy vegetables, they come by the way, and the traffic is relatively large." Xun Xu said.

Xu Ning shook his head: "I think it's better to be far away from the vegetable market. The vegetable market in our town is a little too remote. People in Dongxi Street and North Street have to go to South Street to buy vegetables. The store is located around Shizi Street, so that people from Dongxi Street and North Street are close to our store, and some people from South Street will also come. Besides, there is no comparison, and the chances of them choosing us are much higher.”

Xun Xu nodded: "It's reasonable for you to say that. It's just that the store is not easy to find."

"Yes, that's the biggest problem."

Xu Jun and Wang Yumei came up at this time, and Xu Ning saw them: "Brother and sister-in-law are here, sit down."

Xu Jun is 35 this year and looks much older than Xu Tao. He went out to work as soon as he graduated from junior high school. He moved from factory to construction site and then to factory in many places. Because he has no skills, he doesn't make much money.The younger brother Xu Tao went home to open a shop. He heard that he could earn tens of thousands of yuan every month, and he was very envious.His parents asked him to come back to start the breakfast business. He thought that his son was nine years old, and he and his wife did not spend more than ten days a year. He felt really sorry for the child, so he was moved by this suggestion.After thinking about it for half a year, the couple finally decided to come back after the business in Xu Tao's store stabilized.

"A'Ning, your sister-in-law said you have something to talk to us?" Xu Jun asked.

Xu Ning poured a cup of tea for his eldest brother and sister-in-law: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Xu Jun nodded: "I have already eaten."

"It's like this, big brother. I want to open a shop on the street, selling things from my home, such as strawberries, watermelons, vegetables, and fish and shrimp. In the future, mutton can also be sold in the shop. It’s almost a small fresh food supermarket. What do you think, brother?”

Xu Jun looked at Xu Ning: "Okay, when I was in Guangzhou, there were many fresh food supermarkets like this in every community, and the business was pretty good."

"Yes, I have seen many such stores when I was in Beijing. Apart from sending them to school and factory cafeterias, I still can't sell out all the vegetables, so I want to set up a store for retail sales, so that people in the town can You don’t have to go to my house to buy vegetables, which saves them a lot of trouble, and there should be a lot of business.”

Xu Jun has been back for more than ten days, and he has some knowledge of Xu Ning's things, knowing that they are all good things, but why did he open a shop and ask the couple to come?Is it just to give advice to the staff?

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I called my eldest brother and sister-in-law here, but I actually want to ask you, do you want to start a breakfast business with Brother Tao, or do you want to open a fresh food store?"

Both Xu Jun and his wife were stunned, and they looked at each other. Xu Jun said, "Ah Ning, what do you mean, let the two of us open this store?"

Xu Ning said: "I have two plans here: one is to ask my elder brother and sister-in-law to help me look after the store, and I will pay you a fixed salary every month, and I will also give you a commission based on the sales volume, and I will bear all the risks; One, big brother and sister-in-law, you open your own shop and sell vegetables from my house."

Xu Jun and his wife looked at each other again: "Can you be more specific?"

"If you help me look after the store, the basic salary is estimated to be about [-] yuan at the beginning. As for the commission, the decision depends on the sales." Xu Ning doesn't know how much sales will be generated in a day, and whether opening a store can make money. Because the cost is several thousand a month.

Xu Jun and Wang Yumei didn't speak for a while, obviously weighing the gains and losses in the meantime.Xu Ning said: "This is just my preliminary estimate. As you all know, I have never done business, so I don't know how these will sell. But I guess it will not be too bad. A shop owner came to buy my house this morning. Shrimp, 40 yuan a catty, he bought [-] catties in one go. The eels and loaches at home are coming out soon, so I don’t worry about being out of stock. I definitely don’t have time to come here to look at the store. I want to find a comparison Reliable people will be in charge, brother and sister-in-law, please discuss it before giving me an answer. Xun Xu and I will take a look at the store first."

Xu Ning found that they seemed to have the help of a god. Not long after they went out, they saw two side-by-side shops on the opposite side of the street saying "shop for lease", which was not a transfer.This location is closer to the intersection than the location of Xu Tao Restaurant, so the location is more advantageous.Xu Ning took out his phone and called to ask. The landlord himself sent the rental information, and both stores belonged to him alone. Xu Ning asked how much it is a month, and the landlord said [-] a month. It can be considered cheaper if you rent them all, and it can be even cheaper if you pay the rent for one year at a time.

Xu Ning said that he had to take a look before making a decision. The landlord opened the storefront to show them. This was originally a house with two fronts. It was separated for rent before, and the middle was separated by a thin wooden wall. Xu Ning Rather, if both are rented, the middle can be opened up.Xu Ning and Xun Xu were very satisfied after reading it, and decided to rent it immediately.Because Xu Ning said that he wanted to rent two facades, one time for two years, and the rent would be settled every year. The landlord was also very straightforward, 2000 yuan a month, and one year's rent was paid in advance.There is no transfer fee.

Xu Ning made a decision and paid the deposit on the spot, and took the rest of the money back. Regardless of whether Xu Jun and his wife agreed or not, his family's store would still be open.Before going back, they called Xu Jun and Xu Tao over to have a look at the shop. Xu Tao said it was very good, and privately persuaded his elder brother: "Brother, let me tell you the truth, you and your sister-in-law cook breakfast, in fact, you earn three dollars a month." 4000 yuan is enough. You have to get up at three or four o’clock every day to make breakfast. It’s hard work and you have to take risks. If you show Aning the shop, the basic salary alone will be [-] yuan. He is a kind person. If he makes money Money will definitely not treat you badly, the more you sell, the more commission you will get. Getting up at five or six o'clock every day is much better than opening a breakfast shop, so you don't have to worry about it, how comfortable you are."

Xu Jun was already very moved, but now Xu Tao persuaded him, and he almost agreed: "I will discuss it with your sister-in-law."
