Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

"Isn't everyone in the market able to apply for a small stall? At that time, we will also apply for a small stall to sell some things and earn some money. It is also possible to go shopping at that time!"

Gong Lu has always been very interested in running a business, but now he is just a three-headed child, if he really wants to open a shop, it will definitely not work.

On the contrary, it is not a big problem for children to set up a small stall like a play house, so Gong Lu decided to start by setting up a stall to accumulate some capital.

It's not that he doesn't take the task of saving the world to heart, but leaving the village like this is just to deliver food to the mobs on the side of the road.It's better to see if I can accumulate some funds, study the special formula, and let the player, the adventurer in the villagers' mouth, help him collect clues with unique resources.

Doing business seems to be a great thing in the eyes of the children, not to mention that most of them are already cash-strapped. After hearing this proposal, they can't wait.

"My brother also said that anyone can apply for a stall. The city lord is very generous. There is no extra fee to use the stall on the market day. Many people in our village will apply for a small stall to sell what they are best at. "

For example, Gong Lu's mother, Lu Xiaoyan, would rent a small stall in the market to sell some of her own sewing products.

In the past, these underage children would be sent to Granny Lina's house every time they went to the market, but they had heard about the market from different places, and they had been looking forward to this day.

Now Gong Lu proposed to set up a stall in the market, which aroused their interest even more.

"My brother has been there so many times and he hasn't set up a stall. I can show off with him when I go back!" Sisi recalled his brother's stinky fart, and couldn't wait to see him knowing that he was robbing him. He looked dumbfounded when he made a fortune in the market.

"But," Lucia's thoughts were more delicate, she tilted her head to look at Gong Lu, and asked the doubts in her heart, "What will we sell when we set up a stall?"

There are indeed quite a few people who set up stalls in the village, but they all have their own specialties.Uncle Sam’s house has the most complete range of goods, whether it is the grocery store or the grocery stall in the village, the business is very good; Aunt Lu is very good at sewing, and she will sell some packages or clothing made by herself in the stall; Ceci’s parents It is a husband and wife team, not only will see the doctor in the village, but also cook some medicines; Marina’s parents have done some research on food, her father can bake desserts and bread, and her mother can make good dishes. When the village holds banquets, they will be responsible for cooking, and the food and desserts they make are sold at the stalls.

When Lucia's father was young, he was keen on traveling outside and met many friends, and he could always collect special products from all over the world.These products are not only popular, but they can also make a lot of money by reselling them. It is said that Phil's parents used to be brothers and sisters. After they returned from the teacher's school, they returned to the village and relied on making weapons and repairing them. objects to sustain life.

These are just the best sellers in the stalls. Even Grandma Lina has a lot of chickens and ducks at home. Whenever it is time to go to the market, she will ask Uncle Sam to help her get some eggs and ducks to sell.

On the other hand, the five of them can be said to be penniless.In addition, he has just reached the age of learning skills from the elders in the family, and what he knows is just a few simple magic of "little fireball" and "little water polo", or ordinary attack methods such as "block" and "piercing" .

What they usually do is to play tricks on cats and dogs to pass the time. If they really have any skills, they really don't have it.

Gong Lu also took this into consideration when he made this suggestion, and he told his friends: "Sisi, you didn't say that your brother complained that the market was good, or that there were too many people and it was too hot. And he complained that there was no food and drink in the bazaar."

Ceci still had an impression of this incident. At that time, he thought that his brother was in Versailles, so he complained to his friends several times indignantly.After hearing Gong Lu's question, he nodded: "Yes, that's what he said."

After hearing what Gong Lu said, Lucia's eyes lit up: "Most adults who set up stalls are busy selling what they have in their hands, and they don't really care that much about eating and drinking."

The adults who can spare time to set up stalls are all focused on their own products, and the food and drink are just make do.Most of the adventurers who came to buy things brought their own dry food, or waited until they returned to the city to find a restaurant to eat.

But it is completely different to do this without dividing energy and not to care about it. Every time they come back from the market, their parents have to take a good rest for a period of time before they can recover.

"If we make some drinks and sell them in the market, we should be able to make money?" Lucia guessed.

Ceci's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence: "I also learned the freezing technique recently, and I can add ice to drinks!"

Adults don't want to waste mana on such small things, but children don't mind.

At that time, the parents came to question, and it can also be said that they are practicing the proficiency of skills.

The five children stopped on the spot, gathered together and discussed it, and finally decided to find a stall to sell some juice for this market.

"Let's hurry up and pick some berries from the bushes, and then we'll make some berry juice and sell it! It doesn't matter if we can't sell it, it doesn't cost anything anyway."

Marina was full of praise for the plan proposed by Gong Lu, and even learned the cost-saving method without a teacher.

"I remember that Phil and Grandpa Jon at the end of the village learned a little bit of carpentry, and when the time comes, let Phil make some small wooden cups as containers... Ceci and I went to our respective brothers to inquire about the situation and see where there are mature plants in the grove. Pick the fruit back, and then you can make juice."

She quickly arranged jobs for three of them. Ceci curled her lips a little unconvinced, but she obviously knew what Marina said was right, so she didn't refute.

Lucia also found a job for herself: "My dad has been to many places, so I went back and asked him if he had any special juice recipes."

Not only do they want to set up an ordinary stall, but under the influence of their parents, the children know that if they want to run a shop (stall) well, the necessary special products must exist.

Only when there are people who have me, and people who don't have me, can the stalls successfully retain customers.

Gong Lu saw that his friends had divided up the work all at once. He thought carefully about what other work was suitable for him, and finally took on a rather special task: "I'll go back and ask my mother about the precautions for setting up a stall. , how about you all come to my house to research new products?"

Lu Xiaoyan was the most open-minded among the parents of several children. After hearing Gong Lu's proposal, the other four children couldn't wait to agree, and didn't feel that Gong Lu's effort was inconsistent with them.

But Gong Lu is an adult inside, and it would be embarrassing for him to really take advantage of so much. He made up his mind to give full play to his role and develop more new products.

If possible, he would also like to use his pocket money to order a small cart, so that their booth will look more authentic.

The children all carry their own small backpacks given by their parents, so they don’t have to worry about where to put things when they go to pick berries.After confirming the location of the bushes, everyone quickly started to pick all the berries that seemed mature enough.

After Gong Lu picked this batch of berries, when he raised his head, he happened to see the vines not far away.

Noticing Gong Lu's gaze, Lucia followed his gaze and said, "Do you want to eat sour fruit? It's also the season of sour fruit, but it's too sour, I don't like it."

After Lucia finished speaking, Gong Lu unconsciously activated a memory of the soul fragment, and the saliva in his mouth was almost uncontrollable.

But sour fruit left Gong Lu with only sour memory, whether it was like hawthorn or grape, or like plum or lemon, he didn't know.But no matter what, the sour fruit can be added to their juice as a flavoring.

He told his four friends: "Although sour fruit is sour, isn't some fruit juice sour and sweet? Go in and try it out."

His words also brought inspiration to the children. The children seemed to have been opened up to Ren Du's six veins. Not only did they accompany Gong Lu to pick a batch of sour fruits, but they also went to pick a few more special flavors together. fruit.

"Because people in the village don't like the taste of these fruits, in previous years these fruits were hung on the branches until they rotted and fell to the ground."

Lucia's family lives closer to the grove, so they know more about the distribution of fruit trees.

"I asked my father before, and he said that those fruits can also be eaten, but they taste a bit strange when eaten empty-handed, so people in the village are reluctant to pick them."

But the fruit trees grow here have their own destiny. People in the village will not cut down the existing fruit trees and plant their favorite fruits.

After all, almost everyone in this world knows some magic, and to use magic, in addition to using spells, you also need to mobilize various elements in nature.Most people firmly believe that if they destroy nature at will, they will not get feedback from nature and will no longer be able to mobilize natural elements.

"If we can develop a new way to eat these fruits," Ceci touched his chin, "then they can be sold at our booth then!"

Anyway, these are no-cost businesses, and even if the experiment fails, there is no need to worry about problems.Everyone picked some fruits that were confirmed to be edible, and after making an appointment to go to Gong Lu's house tomorrow, they went back to each house to find their mothers.

"Where did you play with Sisi and the others today?"

When Gong Lu returned home, Lu Xiaoyan had just finished sewing a small backpack in her hand.After seeing her son's figure, she speeded up and finished the finishing work in hand, stood up and walked towards him.

Gong Lu didn't intend to hide his plan from Lu Xiaoyan, he stated his thoughts in detail, and emphasized: "Actually, whether you can make money is not the point, the main thing is that you have your own booth, mom. I also want to have my own booth!"

After listening to Gong Lu's explanation, Lu Xiaoyan did not object, but asked patiently: "Then, have you figured out how many drinks you will make in total? What is the price of each drink?"

Gong Lu: "Tomorrow we will discuss together and we will find out!"

Lu Xiaoyan didn't think there was anything wrong with Gong Lu's obvious change of subject. It would be strange if the child's idea came up on the spur of the moment.

She nodded to show that she knew, and continued to ask: "Then is there anything you need mother to help with?"

This is true, Gong Lu followed Lu Xiaoyan to the kitchen, and talked about his idea while gesturing: "I want to have a small cart, and when the time comes, put the prepared drinks on the small cart, so you don't have to drink it." I'm worried that there is no place to put things!"

At the beginning, Lu Xiaoyan didn't understand what kind of cart Gong Lu was talking about. It wasn't until the latter mentioned "the small cart that Uncle Sam would push out", that Lu Xiaoyan understood what Gong Lu said: "It's the kind that can put things under it. A small car that can be turned into a stall when it stops, right?"

After receiving Gong Lu's affirmative reply, Lu Xiaoyan thought about it, and felt that she couldn't dampen the child's enthusiasm, and was afraid that it was just a whim, and she would put it on the shelf soon after getting it.

After thinking about it, she finally came up with a method she thought was reasonable: "Do you want a better stroller, or an ordinary stroller?"

Gong Lu was stopped by Lu Xiaoyan: "Is there any difference between these two?"

Lu Xiaoyan baffled her words, and tried to explain her thoughts in words that Gong Lu could understand: "If you want an ordinary cart, then you have to pay for the cart yourself, and if it's not enough, I can help you pay in advance , deducted from your pocket money later; if you want a better stroller, then this stroller will be your mother’s birthday present this year.”

This sentence is still a bit long, Gong Lu didn't know if his sanity was distracted after entering the child's body, it took him a while to understand what Lu Xiaoyan meant.

He was asked by Lu Xiaoyan, and he didn't know which one to choose for a while.

Because this plane is linked to game attributes, there is no way to "use the ordinary one first, and then upgrade the ordinary cart when you have money".

After all, in the world view of the game, things that can be upgraded are generally of higher quality.

He rummaged through the memory of the soul fragments to find some information that could help him make up his mind, and found that their village would also become a novice village in the holographic game in the near future.

Although you can't go to set up a stall at that time, it is not bad to push a small cart to do a little business for novice adventurers.

Thinking of this, Gong Lu directly chose the latter option: "I want a better stroller."

Lu Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows and was a little surprised by her son's choice, but she didn't object to it: "Then I will go to Grandpa Qiao En to customize one for you later. Then you go with me and tell Qiao En What do you want, Grandpa?"

It doesn't take a particularly long time to make a small cart. Gong Lu not only agreed, but also made a request: "If there is no result of the discussion tomorrow, can you go later?"

He also plans to order something similar to a menu. If possible, it is of course more convenient to do it all at once.

Lu Xiaoyan didn't insist on this point: "You should know from your little friend when it's time to go to the market this time, right? You manage the time yourself. If you can't catch up, I won't agree with you to go back on your word."

Of course, if she didn't even go to order, she would prepare another birthday present for Gong Lu.

Gong Lu and Lu Xiaoyan finished discussing the small cart, and after dinner, they found a small notebook from the room and wrote down some of their plans.

When the children came to his house the next day with all kinds of fruits, he took this little book and said to everyone: "I wrote a little plan, let's see if it works together!"

Ceci was always the one who cheered the most, he clapped his hands several times, and praised Gong Lu: "You seem like a grown-up, you can even make plans!"

In the eyes of children, it is a great thing to be praised as an adult.

Marina is not far behind: "You are amazing, just like my dad!"

Gong Lu recalled a little bit, Marina's father was a very strong and fierce-looking uncle.Ceci had secretly discussed with him whether Marina's father could kill all five of them with one punch.

Thinking of this, Gong Lu didn't know whether to be happy or sad for Marina's evaluation.

He dismissed the topic perfunctorily and brought the focus back to the stall plan.

Lucia's mind is more sensitive. After listening to Gong Lu's narration, she thought for a while and raised doubts: "Did you pay for that small cart? It should be very expensive, right? Your pocket money will be used up, right?" ?”

Gong Lu rubbed the back of his head: "I don't know how much it will cost, my mother said it would be my birthday present this year."

"what--"

When the children heard this statement, their faces were full of hatred. Phil even came forward and touched Gong Lu's forehead to make sure that he was not sick.

"Birthday gift," Phil emphasized. "It's a rare opportunity every year to make a wish, even if it's too much, and you won't be scolded. Do you want to pay for that opportunity for our stall?"

Gong Lu didn't mind: "I don't want anything recently. And if I make money, I can buy whatever I want."

Worried that saying this would bring pressure to the friends, Gong Lu added: "And that little cart will be with me in the future, we can push it to sell some things in the village."

This kind of statement seems to alleviate the guilt of the children a little, but Ceci still made a solemn promise to Gong Lu: "We will also help you push the cart to sell things in the village, even if you earn money this year If we don’t return the money from the cart, we can always earn it back in our lifetime!”

"Yes, yes, yes, you will definitely make money in your lifetime!"

"We're sure to make money!"

"Go ahead!"

Seeing that the topic got more and more off topic, Lucia quickly brought the topic back to the main point: "If we want to make money, we must first figure out the formula of the juice!"

The children quickly stopped the "passionate actions" in their hands, and took out the fruits they were carrying from their backpacks.

Before they could start the formal operation, there was a knock on the door of Gong Lu's room.

"I'll bring you some food and drink." Lu Xiaoyan's voice came from outside the door, and Marina ran to open the door and said sweetly, "Thank you, auntie!"

"You're welcome," Lu Xiaoyan patted the head of the little girl who always had ponytails, and bypassed her to put drinks and snacks on the empty seats on the table.

She glanced at the things on the table now. There was a pen and a notebook in front of everyone, and there were several kinds of fruits they picked from the woods in the middle, which looked decent.

Understanding that children have reached the age when they want to be independent, but also worried that they will do something uncontrollable, Lu Xiaoyan said to a few children: "If you encounter problems when researching the formula, you can come to an adult to ask. ,OK?"

The children also have their own ideas, but they also know that this matter cannot be completely hidden from the adults, and they have already thought of a compromise.

Marina turned around and smiled sweetly at Lu Xiaoyan: "Aunt Lu, we want to surprise our parents. Can you please keep it a secret? We will definitely come back to you if we have any questions, please, please!"

Lu Xiaoyan glanced at her son who was in the crowd, and after seeing his slightly surprised expression, the subtle feeling in her heart disappeared.

Otherwise, she really didn't know for a while that she should be proud of these children who think she is a trustworthy adult who can keep secrets, or feel troubled by her stupid son who didn't expect to leave a surprise for herself good.

Marina soon realized this, and finally said honestly: "Because I was worried that my parents would give us some recipes directly after they knew about it. But in fact, my parents are not proficient in making drinks... "

She is in a state of confidence in herself and thinks she can concoct a better-tasting juice.

"And I don't want my brother to know... He might be tempted when he knows it, and our business will not be so good by then."

Not everyone is willing to spend a little more money to buy something of better quality. If her brother sets up a stall to sell ice water at a much cheaper price than their juice, won't they be unable to make money?

Ceci's thoughts are similar to Marina's. In short, they must not let their brother know about this before the business is established!

After listening to their reasons, Lu Xiaoyan couldn't help feeling amused, and nodded in agreement with their request.
