Post-80s Rebirth Daily

Chapter 41 Bookstore

In Xu Ningyu's memory, it seems that since he was in junior high school, there will always be a few bookstores around the school, many of which have the business of renting books.

Especially in the Chinese Department of his university, several roommates are very fond of reading novels. Every few days, they will go to the bookstore outside the school to rent novels and read them. The deposit is tens of yuan, and one book is about one yuan a day.

At that time, fantasy novels were very popular, and these novels were very long, with millions of words, and ten or twenty copies were printed.Worried about being borrowed in the middle and reading incoherently, a few roommates often rent a whole set of books together, read them in turn, and share the cost equally.In order to return the books as soon as possible, they forgot to sleep and eat, and read under the covers with flashlights after the lights were turned off at night.

When Xu Ningyu passed by the book rental store occasionally, he could always see many people going through the book rental procedures.Based on such a flow of people, at least dozens of books should be rented out in one day.

The prices in 90 were a little lower, so based on one or two cents a day, there are still ten yuan a day, and three or four hundred yuan a month can always be earned.

His father's salary had just risen to [-] at the beginning of the year, and the bookstore's income could fully cover the wages of two or three workers.

The more Xu Ningyu thought about it, the more she felt that the bookstore could be opened.His house is very close to the school, and there is a residential area nearby. This is the customer base of the bookstore, and the business should not be bad.If he can really earn 400 yuan a month, he can still persuade his aunt to resign and run the business.

My aunt is just a substitute teacher now, and her monthly salary is less than [-].In a few years, there will be no jobs after the merger of Mining Middle School and Town Middle School.And before that, the school had often defaulted on teachers' salaries, and my aunt had a very hard time during that time.

Xu Ningyu didn't want her aunt to go through that kind of life again. After returning, she told her grandfather's family about her thoughts:

"I went to my brother's school today. I saw that many students like to read extracurricular books. But a slightly thicker book costs two or three yuan. It is too wasteful to buy it and only read it once. I want to open a bookstore for rent. A lot of books come back and I rent them out cheaply. It only costs one or two cents a day to read a book, and I think many people will be willing to spend this money.”

In a small place like theirs, there has never been a book rental store. At first glance, it sounded a bit novel, and the family fell into deep thought.

Li Lei was impatient, and wanted to ask if he didn't understand, "Xiaoyu, what should I do if I don't return the book after taking it?"

"Ask them to pay a few dollars as a deposit, and we will refund the money to them after returning the books." Xu Ningyu explained.

"It's okay!" Li Lei suddenly realized.

Soon, grandpa and aunt also raised many questions, such as where to buy books and how to arrange the staff in the shop.No one in my family has ever opened a store, and there are few channels for everyone to obtain information at this time, so there are inevitably many questions.

Xu Ningyu is also a novice, but he has thought a lot on the way back by car, and he has considered these issues, so he replied: "I would like to ask the editor Yu of "Children's Literature" first, he should be more concerned about the publishing house. Understood. I'll go find out if there is a place to wholesale books."

Buy books directly from the publishing house, eliminating the middleman,

Should be cheaper.But in a small shop like his, he doesn't buy many books, so I don't know if the publishing house is willing to ship them.

Xiaoyu is so smart, she can think of anything!Li Lei's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Xu Ningyu continued: "If there is a manpower, let him help me for a month after the college entrance examination, and I will pay him a salary. If I lose money, I won't give it." He smiled and showed his small white teeth. "When my brother goes to college, he should be able to hire the right people."

The business hasn't started yet, and he doesn't know what the prospects will be. After all, he has never done business before, so he didn't mention the matter of asking my aunt to resign and open a shop.

The aunt couldn't help laughing: "What money! Taotao is your brother, and it is right to help you. If you are not allowed to give him money, others will be in trouble later. You have to choose carefully when you hire someone, otherwise you will find someone who will cause trouble." Come back, if you fool me again, you'll be busy making money for other people."

"Auntie is so right! You must find a reliable person, and you have to show your aunt! If you don't give me money, then I will honor grandma." Xu Ningyu snickered.Originally, he was going to give the money directly to his aunt, at most a few dollars to his cousin, otherwise he would lose everything.

Li Lei couldn't sit still, and quietly said to Xu Ningyu, "There's me, too. I can also show you the store."

Xu Ningyu turned to look at him: "I counted you in long ago. During the summer vacation, you and my brother take turns helping to look after the store, and I will also pay you. If someone asks, you will say that you are helping in your own store." Shouldn't that count as child labor?

Although Li Lei is only 12 years old, but he is 1.7 meters tall, and he is very precocious. He is already between a teenager and an adult. I don’t know his age. Some people believe that he is [-] or [-] years old. Xu Ningyu thinks he is qualified for this job .

It is not too tiring to go to a bookstore, in fact, one person is enough.But after all, they are not very old, and his cousin is only 19 years old. Xu Ningyu is afraid that they will not be able to stay, so the two of them can take turns to play for a long time.

In this way, Xu Ningyu can also properly subsidize Li Lei.During the summer vacation, this guy must go to sell popsicles to catch eels every day. Not to mention the hard work in the streets and alleys. When he turned around, the sun was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't find it when he fell into the coal pile.

Li Lei quickly shook his head: "How can I ask for your money. I don't know anything, so I don't know if I can help."

Xu Ningyu ignored him, turned her head and continued to discuss with her grandfather and aunt about opening a store.

The first is to have the qualifications to open a store.

Xu Ningyu used to think that when opening a store in this era, as long as the goods are purchased, the store can be opened as soon as it is opened. Unexpectedly, the aunt told him: "If you want to open a store, you have to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to apply for a business license and a business license. Tobacco hotels in the family area have to apply for a tobacco license. Open a store in a small alley, and no one will care about it. You are next to the county street, and the county inspection team will definitely check you if you open a store.”

It was only then that Xu Ningyu vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen it in a tobacco and liquor store. Two certificate-like papers were solemnly placed in the frame and hung on the wall behind the boss. They turned out to be a license to sell cigarettes.

"These certificates must be full before they can be issued. Auntie, then I will trouble you. Let these things be in your name." Xu Ningyu said with a bitter face.

aunt

I also thought of this, and nodded: "I'll ask after the report card is sent out tomorrow. I don't think it can be done in a day or two."

"Just take advantage of this time to find someone to renovate the house and buy bookshelves." Xu Ningyu counted what else he needed with his fingers.He still has a few hundred yuan left in his hand, and he doesn't know if it's enough.However, he was almost finishing "Little Rascal's Entrance to a Higher Education", so he just asked Editor Yu if he could advance part of the manuscript fee.

Grandpa immediately said: "You need a lot of shelves for opening a store, so there is no need to buy new ones. I will go to Jishang tomorrow and ask if they have old shelves for sale."

Xu Ningyu nodded immediately: "Grandpa is right, there is no need for new ones, so please trouble grandpa."

The whole family was working hard on his affairs. Xu Ningyu felt that when the family meeting was over, he went to the kitchen to get two aluminum lunch boxes and asked Li Lei to take him to the gate of the family area.

"What are you here to buy?" Li Lei felt that Xiaoyu was out shopping.

Of course he guessed right. "Buy some stewed vegetables for dinner!" Xu Ningyu said loudly.

Now that there are more and more businesses doing business, Xu Ningyu has long noticed that there are two stalls selling stewed vegetables outside the family area.Looking at it now, the main cold dishes are vegetarian, and the only meat dishes are braised pig's trotters and salted duck.

Xu Ningyu is a rich man, and Li Lei is not polite to him. Looking at the red and chubby pig's trotters, he wants to drool: "Xiaoyu, buy this, it's so fat."

"Okay." Grandma's cold dishes are also delicious. There is no shortage of vegetarian dishes at home, so Xu Ningyu skipped it and picked two of the fattest braised pig's trotters.

He was going to another shop to buy salted duck again, but Li Lei hurriedly stopped him: "It's enough to eat, and I'm sure I won't be able to eat any more. It's so hot today, it will go bad tomorrow." Li Lei is used to it, and Xiaoyu bought it When something comes, it cannot be stopped.

Xu Ningyu thought about it too. It would be too inconvenient to not have a refrigerator, so he restrained his desire to buy and asked the store to chop the pig's trotters into small pieces and filled two lunch boxes.

Grandma didn't know that they went out to buy stewed vegetables. When they came back with two lunch boxes of pig's trotters, they couldn't help scolding Xu Ningyu: "Why buy this? It's half as expensive as raw pig's trotters. I want to eat it with grandma next time." Say, grandma bought it for you to make at home."

Although grandma is good at cooking, she doesn't know how to marinate vegetables. She probably just stewed them, but she doesn't have the taste like others.Of course, Xu Ningyu couldn't say that, so he said with a smile: "I'm a bit greedy, let's taste how well they cook first, and let grandma cook it next time! Please ask grandma to heat it up when I eat it at night. It's hot. I'm afraid that it will be unhygienic if left for a long time."

Grandma was bypassed by him and agreed.

The braised pig's trotters were very chewy and not greasy at all. Xu Ningyu couldn't help but gnawed two pieces at dinner, and managed to fill up again.

Li Lei also ate very full.But he ate three or four yuan, and he was really embarrassed to eat any more.Anyway, the cucumber bean curd and radish shredded by grandma's cold salad were very tasty. He ate half of the plate and killed three white steamed buns.

The pig's trotters were not finished eating, and there were still a few pieces left, so grandma said, "Leilei, I'll pack it in a lunch box for you, and put a steamed bun in it, so you can eat it when you're hungry at night. Xiaoyu has a small stomach and can't eat any more at night. Nothing can be left."

Before Li Lei refused, Xu Ningyu

He has already rushed to the kitchen and brought him the lunch box.

Li Lei scratched his head: "I eat and take all the time, it's too thick-skinned."

Xu Ningyu squinted: "Don't be polite, my grandma's family is so nice, you can treat this as your own home."

Grandma and the others said together: "Yes, don't be polite here. You and Xiaoyu are good friends, and Xiaoyu will ask you for help later."

Li Lei also felt more comfortable at Xiaoyu's grandma's house, so he took the lunch box.

When it was time to go to bed at night, he opened the lunch box and took a piece for each of his grandparents.His grandparents just waved their hands away and lowered their voice: "That kid Xiaoyu's family brought it for you? You can eat it yourself."

"Yes, his grandma's family is generous. I've eaten it all, and this is leftover." Li Lei forced the pig's trotters to his grandma.His second aunt wished she could break a penny in half, and the family hadn't roasted meat for a long time.But everyone in the family knew that she would secretly cook meat when no one was around, and save it for his second uncle and cousin.Anyway, he and his grandma couldn't eat a bite.

The three of them gnawed quietly, and put the bones back into the lunch box, so as not to be seen by his second aunt and talk nonsense.

The next day, Li Lei came to pick up Xu Ningyu from his grandma's house to pick up his report card at school, but his aunt had already left with Xu Xinning.

As soon as you enter the school, you can see a row of red paper posted on the bulletin board, which is very conspicuous.The top [-] rankings of each grade were written on the red paper with a brush. This is an old school tradition at the end of each year.

Xu Ningyu waited for Li Lei to park the car, and ran to the fifth grade column together, raised her head and saw her name on No.1.He had already expected the ranking, mainly because he wanted to see how many points he had scored in the test.

His total score this time was only 199 points, and it was estimated that one point was deducted for the composition.Xu Ningyu wrinkled her nose, a little dissatisfied.

Li Lei has already called out in surprise: "I, fifty!"

Xu Ningyu also quickly lowered her head, found the end of the list, and indeed saw Li Lei's name.

This is Li Lei's first time on the school's "red list", and he couldn't help but pull Xu Ningyu to jump a few times: "It's my first time to get fifty in the exam!"

Xu Ningyu was also very happy for him, and praised him: "Not bad, I have made great progress, and I will work harder next time." Xu Ningyu felt that Li Lei should still have room for improvement, so he should also take him with him during the summer vacation when he was previewing the first year of junior high school.

Li Lei was only interested in being happy, and didn't know that Xu Ningyu was going to increase his study for him.

Only a dozen people from class five and two entered this "red list". Many students were so envious of Li Lei that they all praised him for being great. Li Lei was about to float when he heard it

At this time, I heard an unbelievable voice from a boy next to him: "Li Lei! How could you get fifty in the exam? You must have copied it!"

"Li Yang, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Lei immediately recognized that the owner of this voice was his cousin.

His cousin Li Yang is in the fourth grade this year, and his grades are also among the best in the class, but the bottom one.In the past, Li Lei was on the same level as him, but after Xu Ningyu stared at his studies, he made rapid progress.

Li Lei never told his family about his progress in grades, and his cousin always thought that he was still at the bottom.Now I heard that Li Lei passed the grade test

Some of the top [-] couldn't accept it, and couldn't help pouring dirty water on Li Lei habitually.

Anyway, how could Li Lei pass the exam so high? He must have cheated!Yes, it was copied from the kid next to him!Isn't this kid good in grades? They play together every day, and they must have copied it for him during the exam!

Li Yang yelled out his guess, Li Lei immediately became dizzy with anger, rushed over, grabbed him and pushed him to the ground.

Seeing Li Lei's cousin lying on the grass with his head in his arms, Li Lei hit his back so hard that nothing would happen. Xu Ningyu waited for Li Lei to punch him a few times before coming over and grabbing his arm: "Stop beating, turn around and kill him!" Broken."

Li Lei stopped angrily, and then pushed Li Yang hard before standing up.

Li Yang didn't expect that Li Lei would dare to beat him at school, so he cried until his nose burst into tears: "If you hit someone, I will sue the teacher!"

"We are also looking for a teacher." Xu Ningyu gave him a sympathetic look.

You dare to falsely accuse me, next I will show you what is the privilege of a good student, hum!A little devil seemed to appear in Xu Ningyu's heart, and he was crossing his arms and complacently.

The author has something to say: If you want to leave a suspense, everyone has already guessed it, and my idea of ​​entering the suspense story stream has since been dispelled.
