Ye Cheng

After all, they were inexperienced in setting up a stall on the first day, and they didn't prepare enough items. Before ten o'clock, even the milk tea was sold out. Even though the streets were still lively, Ye Cheng and the others had no choice but to close the stall.Fortunately, the income this night did not disappoint them. They sold items worth nearly 600 yuan. After deducting the cost, it is estimated that there should be a profit of about [-] to [-] yuan. The children are quite satisfied.

In fact, the most troublesome thing about setting up a stall is the process of putting it out and taking it back. Several children move it over and over again like ants. They have been busy all day, and there are so many things to move. Almost exhausted, but no one uttered this exhaustion, just propped up the drooping eyelids, and finished the final finishing work together.

The next morning, Ye Ping went to bed very late, and Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan went downstairs quietly. After washing up, they went out again. They had to go to the county town to do some shopping. Yesterday they did business all night and found a lot of things Can't buy enough.

Let's go to that tableware store first. Anyway, that kind of bowl is not very expensive. Buy more, so Ye Ping won't have to go back to wash the bowl in the middle.In the morning, the owner of the tableware store was very busy, so he asked Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan to go to the inner room to pick and choose. After they were done, they came out to confirm the quantity, and then paid.

After buying the porcelain bowls and spoons, I put them in this store first, and then went to the non-staple food market. The non-staple food market in their county is not very big, but Ye Cheng and the others still have to try their luck.Because some guests wanted to take away the shaved ice last night, but they didn’t have disposable bowls, so they had to use large milk tea cups, which the guests obviously didn’t like.

They found a shop that sold disposable tableware, and also sold plastic bowls and paper bowls. Transparent plastic bowls were cheaper, and each cost only a dime, while paper bowls were more expensive. According to the boss’s quotation and a box of Quantity, on average, each bowl costs nearly [-] cents, but Ye Cheng bought it without hesitation, because if the customers take it away, not only do they not need to wash the dishes, but they can also empty a few seats, which is the best in business This may allow them to accommodate more guests.

After buying the disposable paper bowls, they happened to see a canned food shop. Ye Cheng thought that shaved ice doesn't have to be made with fresh fruits. He also thought that Lu Mingyuan had been shopping in the fruit market for a long time yesterday. He compared a lot of fruits, or the prices were too expensive. , or the pulp is difficult to pick out, and not many are suitable for making shaved ice.But cans can just make up for these shortcomings, and they are easy to store. As long as the cans are placed in the refrigerator, they can be stored for several days after opening.

There is a five-jin large can, which seems to be specially designed for the catering industry. The packaging is not very attractive, just a white metal can, but it is very affordable. Ye Cheng asked, and the wholesale price is only ten yuan per can.There are three flavors of orange bayberry and pineapple. Ye Cheng immediately bought ten cans each, then called a tricycle, went directly to the store where he bought tables and chairs yesterday, and bought another ten tables and thirty chairs.

I went to the tableware store to pick up porcelain bowls and spoons, then went to the fruit market to replenish some cantaloupe and pears, and bought a box of lychees by the way.I didn’t buy enough ice trays for ice making yesterday, because last night’s business was pretty good, so Ye Cheng has more confidence in buying things today, and estimated the space left in their refrigerator freezer. Bought a lot of ice trays.In addition, they bought cans today, and they also had to buy square hard plastic buckets. They bought four, three for cans, and one more for milk tea.

This day's purchases were very efficient. Before ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan returned to the town by car. The driver of the van was very nice. Seeing that he had a lot of things, he drove the car directly into the old street. Of course, Ye Cheng also has to pay the fare for these goods.

Ye Ping has already woken up, because she was really tired last night, and the used bowls and spoons were not cleaned in time, and now she is moving a small bench and sitting next to a large basin to wash the dishes .As soon as Ye Cheng and the others moved in the things they just bought, the originally small house became even more crowded. Several people put all the things unloaded from the car back, and stacked everything that could be stacked.

Things were sorted out soon, Ye Cheng thought about it, and said that he would take Ye Ping out to buy clothes.

"Have we bought those things with the money we earned last night?" Ye Ping pointed to the pair of things in the room that were just purchased today.

"Well, but I still have money with me."

Last night, quite a few girls came to their booth to buy shaved ice or milk tea. Even if they weren't very fashionable, most of them were dressed in clean and well-fitting clothes. In comparison, Ye Ping looked a little dull.In fact, she is more beautiful than most girls, but people depend on clothes. Ye Ping's shirt is obviously a man's style, and the pants are a little short. This is no longer a matter of simplicity. Among them, his younger sister looked too shabby, and Ye Cheng didn't like this feeling very much.

"Then let's go buy it tomorrow, and wait until we make money tonight." Ye Ping doesn't like the feeling of spending all the money, and it doesn't matter if the clothes are bought a day late.

This time, Ye Cheng didn't listen to Ye Ping, and even Lu Mingyuan was dragged out by him. No matter what, he was the head of the family, so he still had the right to speak.It just so happened that a new specialty store opened in the town, with both men's and women's clothing, and they were more student-like, so Ye Cheng took Ye Ping and Lu Mingyuan directly in.

Maybe it's because of the new store, the clerk's attitude is very enthusiastic, and he quickly picked out a pair of white cropped pants and a pair of blue and white striped loose short sleeves for Ye Ping. Once she put them on, she looked sunny and clean.It just so happened that this store was having an event, buy one get one free, Ye Cheng asked Lu Mingyuan to look at the pants, this guy was picking up some recently, the trousers he used to have were almost not long enough, and most of the clothes and trousers sent by Gao Jinhua were winter clothes.

Lu Mingyuan himself took a fancy to a pair of gray trousers with blue stripes on both sides, the fabric was quite drapey, and the top was a white T-shirt. He fiddled with the dressing room for a long time before he came out slowly, looking up He glanced at Ye Cheng, then turned his face to the other side with red ears.Putting on the new clothes, Lu Mingyuan looked different from before. Ye Cheng looked at him and felt a little confused, because the boy in front of him didn't look like a village boy who grew up with him at all, but like a boy in a city. A boy raised by a good family.

"Doesn't it look good?" Lu Mingyuan had already looked in the mirror in the fitting room. He thought he looked good in this outfit, and thought Ye Cheng would like it, but the other party didn't even show any expression, so he felt a little disappointed.

"Very good, just this one."

"These pants are a bit expensive." Lu Mingyuan had already seen the price tag just now. Although they were expensive, he still couldn't help but want to wear them for Ye Cheng to have a look at.

"Then you have to work harder tonight, at least you have to earn back the money for your trousers." Ye Cheng smiled.

"Oh." Lu Mingyuan nodded, and then asked Ye Cheng, "Why don't you choose clothes?"

"I'll come back to buy it tomorrow, so I quickly take off my clothes, pay the money and let's go back to eat."

Ye Cheng glanced at Lu Mingyuan, and stopped him from speaking. He didn't have much money in his pocket. It was enough to buy two sets of clothes in this store, but it was a little bit reluctant to buy three sets.He didn't say this, and he didn't need Lu Mingyuan or Ye Ping to say it, and he didn't need them to imitate Kong Rong and give pears in front of outsiders. After all, poverty is not a good thing these days.

In the afternoon, it was still preparation work. In the evening, everyone moved their things out and set up the stall, and then they still took turns to go back to take a bath. Lu Mingyuan and Ye Ping both changed into new clothes, and they stood on the stall. They looked very youthful and beautiful. An old white shirt, this shirt has been worn for a long time and has been washed very thin, but Ye Cheng still likes it.

The business tonight is better than last night, because many people already know that there is a stall selling shaved ice and milk tea on this side of the bridge. I came here last night, and many people brought their family and friends to eat again today. It’s okay I bought some new tables and chairs, otherwise I would have to watch batch after batch of guests go away in vain.

With the experience of the previous night, they made some more milk tea today. After the three tubes in the refrigerator are sold out, there is still a bucket in the house, and they can add more when they are sold out.I also cooked a lot of red beans and mung beans. To be honest, the price of red beans and mung beans is actually very cheap. The wholesale price is only more than three yuan per catty. After a catty of beans are cooked, there is a small half pot, and the profit is quite high when sold. So when Ye Cheng added pearls and peanuts to it, he was very generous.

The lychee flavor is quite popular, but the lychees are just on the market right now, and the price is a bit expensive, so Ye Cheng had to add more sago and peanuts to it, it seems that this box of lychees will be sold out soon.Fortunately, when they were in the car in the morning, they made an agreement with the driver of the van that if they want to buy something in the future, they can also let them bring it directly. Like lychees, it is best not to buy too much and pile them up there.

The business of the canned food series is also decent. It is not as popular as other fruit flavors, but people often order it. Ye Cheng’s requirements are not high, as long as they can be sold. Anyway, the canned food is durable, the cost is not high, and the profit The space is not small, just sell it.

Although there are disposable paper bowls, most of the customers who come to eat shaved ice at the stall still choose to use white porcelain bowls. Among other things, it is really beautiful to use white porcelain bowls to serve shaved ice. The children also looked very refreshed. They said that these bowls and spoons were scalded with boiling water, which is not like lying, and everyone feels relieved to use them.

There are a few takeaways, and disposable bowls and spoons come in handy at this time. Put them in a paper bowl, put a matching lid on it, and put a plastic spoon on it. It looks like that.

Generally speaking, Ye Cheng's stall is on track. Lu Mingyuan is in charge of fruit processing, and Ye Cheng is in charge of the milk tea side. Whoever has time can get some ice cubes and put them in the ice crusher to make ice. When a customer comes, Ye Cheng Ping was in charge of greeting first, brought the shaved ice they asked for from Ye Cheng and the others, and finally was responsible for collecting the money.

Before seven o'clock, Ye Cheng's stall was full of people, and the business was better than expected. Ye Cheng wanted to buy some more tables and chairs, but there seemed to be no place to put them on this bridge. , but this is good now, if there is really a big place with a lot of tables, maybe once the crowd disperses, their stall will not look so lively.

Customers from several nearby food stalls sometimes come to buy some milk tea or shaved ice to take to eat, and some people even buy to take to the karaoke hall to eat. More and more people will know about their stall in the future.I believe that as long as they work hard, try to make the food as delicious as possible, and clean the tableware as much as possible, this kind of good business will continue. In this way, they can actually save money this summer vacation.

"Ye Cheng." When Ye Cheng was putting a small plate of ice cubes into the ice crusher, someone suddenly called his name.

"Lan Mu, why are you here?" Ye Cheng asked in surprise.

"Aren't you going to the studio? Teacher A Cong's studio is much more lively now than before." Lan Mu still looks as gentle and elegant as before, and he looks especially good when he smiles.

"Do you think I'm busy?" Although learning to paint makes him feel very happy, making money is his top priority right now, and to be honest, the process of making money is also very happy.

"Today, Chen Feng from our studio is also from your town. He told everyone that there is a shaved ice stall in this bridgehead. It is delicious and cheap. I want to come and try it."

"What flavor do you want?" Ye Cheng finally stopped what he was doing.

"Choose for me." Lan Mu said.Lu Mingyuan next to him slammed the refrigerator door shut with a loud bang. Lan Mu turned his head to look at him, and then turned his gaze back to Ye Cheng.

"Lychee, okay?" Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed, and helped Lanmu make a lychee-flavored shaved ice and handed it over.

"Is business going well?" There was already a vacant seat at this time, but Lan Mu didn't sit there, but walked into Ye Cheng's stall, leaned on the railing beside him, and ate shaved ice spoonful by spoonful. .

"Well, it's not bad." When it came to business, Ye Cheng was in a good mood. While talking, someone came to buy milk tea from him again.

"A few friends of mine saw our sketching in Shibaling and said they were going to play, can you show us the way?" Lanmu has only been to Shibaling once, but Ye Cheng and the others have already been to that area. He is very familiar with it, so it is reasonable for him to make such a request.

"I might not be able to go." Ye Cheng said shyly. He was actually very grateful to Lan Mu. They bring in some income.

"That's a pity, I'm not very familiar with it." Lan Mu frowned, looking embarrassed.

"It's okay, the villagers there are very enthusiastic. Where do you want to go, just ask directly." He couldn't leave Lu Mingyuan and Ye Ping to work here, but he went to the mountains to play.

"Okay, ha ha." Lan Mu didn't say any more, after eating the shaved ice, he put the bowl in a special tube, and then stood in the stall with Ye Cheng and the others, and quickly started to help with the ice crusher , which saved Ye Cheng a lot of trouble.

The business quickly became busy again, with wave after wave of customers, Ye Cheng was too busy to talk, and Lan Mu was not a talkative person, so he took out the ice trays from the refrigerator one by one, and knocked out the ice cubes inside. Put the ice cubes in a small dish and put them into the ice crusher in batches to crush. He is a good-looking person. When he is working hard, he is even more eye-catching. Come here to buy milk tea and eat shaved ice Every guest can't help but look at him a few more times.

Later, Ye Cheng taught him how to use a milk tea sealing machine. After that, Lanmu took over the milk tea stall very smoothly. I don’t know if it was Ye Cheng’s illusion. Once Lanmu stopped there, their milk tea business was very good. There was so much milk tea, and I was worried that it would not be sold out tonight, but just before nine o'clock, Lan Mu told Ye Cheng that the milk tea in the refrigerator was almost gone, and Ye Cheng hurried back to bring the bucket at home.

The business lasted until 11:30 that night, and Lan Mu stayed until Ye Cheng and the others closed the stall. Ye Cheng originally wanted Lan Mu to leave earlier, but they said it was okay, and he couldn't always drive him away.When Ye Cheng finished collecting the stalls and sent Lanmu out, he said, "Your business is really tiring. I'll come over to help in the future, shall I?"

"..." Ye Cheng didn't expect him to say that, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"But I'm not a free worker. You have to pay me wages. Well, my requirements are not very high. Three bowls of shaved ice a night are enough."

"That's not good." Didn't Lan Mu have to go to the studio, even if he didn't go to the studio, it's rare to have a summer vacation, don't everyone want to stay at home to have a good rest and have fun.

"No way, three bowls of shaved ice are not enough? Well, just two bowls, and the price can't be lowered." Lan Mu said seriously, Ye Cheng thought that Lan Mu was joking, so he stopped arguing with him.

Ye Cheng sent Lan Mu away, and then had a headache thinking about how to deal with Lu Mingyuan when he went back. This guy is much more restrained than before, but this is only when he is in front of people, because Ye Cheng emphasized to him before that, Their relationship cannot be known by anyone.

Once there were only the two of them left, Lu Mingyuan would become unscrupulous. Ye Cheng rubbed his temples with a headache, is it Saturday?

When they returned to the rented house, Lu Mingyuan and Ye Ping were counting the money, and the whole money had already been counted, so there was only some change left.

"Brother, do you know how much we earned today?" Ye Ping's eyes glowed with excitement.

"How much?" Ye Cheng asked with a smile.

"More than 900 yuan, it's almost [-] yuan!" Ye Ping glanced at the upstairs, and said in a low voice, because Ye Cheng told them that if he made a lot of money today, try not to let others know.

"Not bad, aren't you sleepy yet?" It was almost twelve o'clock.

"I don't know why, I was a little sleepy just now, and I don't want to sleep at all after counting the money."

"Go to bed early, you have to work tomorrow."

"Okay." Ye Ping stretched her waist, put down the money and went upstairs to sleep.

"Hey, Lu Mingyuan." Ye Cheng stood in front of Lu Mingyuan, not knowing what to say. He knew that Lu Mingyuan didn't like Lan Mu, but Lan Mu had always been nice to them.Lu Mingyuan ignored him, so Ye Cheng could only touch his nose embarrassingly. "I'm going to take a shower first."

Ye Ping and Lu Mingyuan had both taken a shower and changed their clothes just now, and Ye Cheng just talked to Lan Mu outside for a while, so he wasted some time, I don't know why, it is obviously a normal thing, when facing When Lu Mingyuan was away, he couldn't help feeling a little bit wrong.

Because this house was built earlier, there is no toilet. Many people built a toilet and bathroom at the back door near the river in the later stage. Taking advantage of the renovation period by the river, each family built a septic tank. pool.

When Ye Cheng was about to get dressed after taking a shower, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Who?" The bathroom is also the bathroom, but the old man and the old lady put a chamber pot in their room, so the one who knocked on the door was either Ye Ping or Lu Mingyuan.

"It's me." Lu Mingyuan's voice sounded outside the door. Seeing that it was him, Ye Cheng opened the door directly. They have even done many intimate things, so there is no need to hide it.

After Lu Mingyuan came in, he closed the door again and even put the latch on. Then Ye Cheng suddenly thought of something: "Is today Saturday?"

"En." Lu Mingyuan took off his clothes in two or three strokes, then pushed Ye Cheng to the ground and straddled him.

Ye Cheng saw that he was in a bad mood, so he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, and kissed him little by little. Before he had kissed twice, Lu Mingyuan pressed Ye Cheng's whole body on the tiled floor, and stuck it on himself. Up, and then, like so many times before, rubbing, rolling, panting, moaning...

But today's Lu Mingyuan is different, the temperature in his eyes is particularly hot, every movement is more forceful than before, not daring to leave marks on Ye Cheng's neck, so he can only bite his chest fiercely, wishing As if biting off a piece of meat, both hands were still on Ye Cheng's waist, kneading vigorously and erotically, expressing his depression and impatience.

Ye Cheng caressed his back indulgently, he vaguely understood Lu Mingyuan's dissatisfaction and struggle in his heart, this person strongly wanted to possess and restrain himself.But Ye Cheng didn't want to compromise just yet.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the time, it was probably the beginning of 2000, or just arrived in 2000.

Ye Cheng is 15 years old this year, Lu Mingyuan is 14 years old, Ye Ping is 13 years old, and Lan Mu.
