Go to the Republic of China to engage in industry

In the Republic of China, where popsicles cost one penny, five cents, and one dime, egg rolls are still a bit expensive.

Therefore, almost all places in Southwind where egg roll machines appear are places where the middle and upper classes gather.

For example, Dong'an Market, which is crowded with people, is paved with gravel roads and managed in a unified manner using foreign market construction methods. The business hours start at 21:[-] in the morning and close at [-]:[-] in the evening.

Dong'an Market not only has traditional Chinese shops, such as silk shops, porcelain shops, teahouses, and comedy theaters, but also Western-style coffee shops and ice cream shops.There are also some convenient small stalls with tables, chairs and benches placed in the open air.

A shop named Tang Dynasty Cold Drink opened quietly.

The decoration of the shop is antique, all adopting the style of the Tang Dynasty. There are pictures of Tang Dynasty ladies on both sides of the wall. In addition to the exquisite tablecloths, there are also flower vases on the table.

These flowers are not expensive flowers, but wild flowers and weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, but they are also unique when they are well matched and placed on the dining table.

The tables, chairs and benches of this cold drink shop are not ordinary benches. The seats in the house are all swayable benches, and the boxes on the second floor are hanging chairs, which is also a major feature of the shop.

The biggest feature is that all the cold drinks in this store are not called ice cream, but are called in the Tang Dynasty, and are divided into three types: ice cheese, crisp mountain and cheese drink.

In addition to various cold drink introductions with pictures on the back of the counter, there is also a special poster of the history of the origin of ice cream published in the Wuxu Lianhuan Pictorial Newspaper. Of course, to ensure that every customer who enters the store can clearly see these pictures are enlarged versions .

Apart from Shen Chengran, who can draw an enlarged version of the comic book of Labor Wuxu, who else has such a big face.

This cold drink shop is opened by Shen Chengran. He was moved when he saw the ice cream origin advertisement published by his brother in Wuxu Lianhuan Pictorial. Later, after seeing many ordinary people, they spontaneously changed their minds and went to the ice cream shop to find ice cream. , was keen to find business opportunities, and then decisively opened a cold drink shop with the money in his hand.

After asking his brother to write more than a dozen recipes for cold drinks, and inviting a few masters who know how to make Western-style ice cream, this cold shop opened smoothly.

"Shopkeeper, bring me three egg rolls." Two young couples stood in front of the shop with a seven or eight-year-old boy.

Shen Chengran saw that the chefs in the cold drink shop were busy, so he came outside the shop and said with a smile, "This is Sushan."

The man smiled, "Isn't Sushan an egg roll?"

"Sushan is purer and more delicious than egg rolls. Even the crispy cone containing the cream is more fragrant than the crispy cone of egg rolls." Shen Zhenran has already made old fried dough sticks at a young age, " The price is more expensive, the small one costs [-] cents, and the large one costs [-] cents.”

The husband and wife looked at each other, they didn't think it was expensive, the people who came to Dong'an Market were all upper-middle-class people in Wuxu, and it was really not bad for an egg roll of [-] cents.I just don't think it's worth it. Others pay five cents and a dime.

Shen Chengran simply made a crispy mountain by himself, which was a mixture of chocolate and original flavor.Words are useless, intuition is clearer.The husband and wife, including the child they are holding, can tell the difference between the two at a glance.

"Mom, I want to eat this, this looks better than that."

"Okay, then give me a small tube first."

"Okay." Shen Chengran made a small tube of crispy dough for the little boy, and the little boy couldn't wait to take a bite and then squinted his eyes.

"It's delicious, mom, try it, it tastes like ice cream."

The little boy’s parents both took a small sip and found that, as the little boy said, you really get what you pay for. As long as you are not deceived, it is worth the money. The couple is still willing to pay for high-quality products. food.

The husband and wife spent money and bought two large tubes.Others can naturally see the difference. Many people gave up the original egg rolls and chose to buy Sushan.

Shen Chengran just collected the money while making egg rolls for the guests with a smile on his face. Some customers saw that he was young and thought he was helping the adults in the family, so he explained that this was his cold drink shop. A doll can support such a large shop.Shen Chengran will not explain much at this time, and will never move Shen Chengrun out.

Today is the first day of opening, Shen Chengrun and Ye Yi came over to cheer him up and sat at the stall outside just watching Shen Chengran busy.

Wen Zhi said with emotion: "It's only been half a year, and it is true that he is already a good businessman."

Ever since Wuwei was expelled, Wenzhi has followed closely.Wen Zhi really doesn't like to take on this job. In the past, he and Wu Wei were in charge of Wen and Wu. Although both of them are both civil and military, but after they all fell on him, he not only had to socialize with Ye Yi everywhere, but also went back to watch at night. I have to work overtime to process documents, which is really unbearable.

"It does look a bit like that." Shen Chengrun said: "The idea of ​​opening a cold drink shop, including the idea and decoration, is his own idea, and the egg roll machine, of course, is also thought of by himself in order to make more money."

After hearing this, Wen Zhi laughed and said, "The little guy really can't knock the door down."

But Ye Yi said: "Your Shen family has very strong business genes, and the three siblings are all good at doing business."

Shen Chengrun doesn't know what the Shen family's genes are like, but he can be sure that the Shen family's parents are just average in business, lacking in innovation, and conservative.

The three of them were chatting when a familiar figure came over. He first asked Shen Chengran about the business situation, and then prepared a gift for him. Then Shen Chengran pointed in the direction of Shen Chengrun and the others, and asked someone to bring him a glass of cold drink.

It was Wu Wei who came, he didn't dare to sit down, but stood by the table, "Mr. Shen, sir, I'm here to congratulate Mr. Chengran."

Wu Wei was trembling at the moment, wondering if he found a lame excuse to show up suddenly, which would make Ye Yi even more angry, and carefully looked at his husband's expression.

Fortunately, Ye Yi didn't get angry, his face was always expressionless, but maybe because Shen Chengrun was by his side, the sharp face was not so aggressive and cold, it was much softer.

At this time, Shen Chengrun, who was sitting next to Ye Yi, played a role. He looked at Ye Yi with pleading eyes, and said pitifully: "I asked him to come. Ye Yi, let Mr. Wu come back, he was also arrested." I've been involved, and I feel bad about it."

Ye Yi rolled his eyes at Wu Wei, and said softly, "From now on, you can follow Chengrun."

Wu Wei's heart was tense and he dared not agree.

But Shen Chengrun said anxiously: "Ye Yi, Mr. Wu's talent is really overkill for me. My small business is too much of Mr. Qu Wu's talent."

Ye Yi looked at Shen Chengrun and said with disapproval: "Your business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, and you need such a person."

How can it be the same? Being an assistant to Shen Chengrun is always different from being an assistant to Ye Yi, and their status and status are different.Shen Chengrun is just a simple businessman, and Ye Yi has political connections.

"I can ask Mr. Wu to help me train one. I really don't need Mr. Wu to help me personally." Shen Chengrun simply used the coquettish method, without any reason of one, two, three, four, and stretched out his slender, white fingers to gently pull Ye Yi's waist The hem of the suit swayed, "Ye Yi, just let Mr. Wu come back, besides, I am also worried about your safety, with him here, I feel at ease."

Ye Yi stared at the hands pinching the hem of his suit, he had never been so spoiled before.The color of Ye Yi's eyes gradually darkened, as if there was a changing wind and cloud surging inside, his throat was dry, but the words that came out were extremely soft, "Okay."

"Thank you Mr. Shen, thank you sir." Wu Wei was so happy that he didn't delve into the weirdness in his heart.

"Sit down." Wu Wei sat opposite the two, and the four of them ate cold drinks together. Wen Zhi was thinking about the unprocessed documents at the desk, and left after eating the cold drinks.

"We're selling newspapers, we're selling newspapers. The Wuxu Lianhuan Pictorial Magazine has newly serialized "Fengshen Bang", and the four famous books are about to be published." The newsboy yelled: "Don't you know that ice cream originated in China? Come and see ice cream history of origin."

"Give me a Wuxu comic book." Shen Chengrun took out five cents and gave it to the newsboy, "I haven't had time to read today's newspaper until now, together?"

Shen Chengrun opened the newspaper and gave Wu Wei some, and spread the rest to him and Ye Yi to read together.

The headline on the front page is an advertisement that the comic strips of the four famous novels are being printed, and there are also item introductions. The black and white comic strips cost 32 yuan for four copies.The color comic book is 108 yuan for four copies, and at the same time, a complete set of non-drying character cards of a famous book will be given as a gift.

"You still plan to serialize color comic strips, do you have a color printer, do you need me to contact you?" Ye Yi asked when he saw the advertisement.

Shen Chengrun felt guilty for a moment, "Bai Mingyang is responsible for this."

"That's right." Ye Yi's tone was neither salty nor light, as if there was no sense of blame, but Shen Chengrun was taken aback by his dark eyes.

The news of the publication of the comic strips of the four famous novels caused quite a stir among domestic readers who love comic strips.In particular, a set of non-drying stickers and character cards is also given as a gift, which is even more attractive.

Apart from the comic book fans who were ecstatic to see this news, there was another person, and that was Chen Ge who had been silent for several months.

Chen Ge's face was full of ecstasy, "I knew it, I knew that the four major classics would definitely have to be published! How could Shen Papi miss such a good opportunity to make money? He even made so many tricks for him just by changing his clothes before. The dry glue is made by dolls again."

Man Man half lying on the rocking chair, she rolled her eyes at the excited Chen Ge's back, secretly scolding Chen Ge for being an idiot who missed such a good job, and also hated Chen Ge's ex-wife, Zhao Yiran, who wanted to It wasn't because of her troubles, Chen Ge couldn't lose that good job.

Ever since Chen Ge lost his job, he has been idle at home, saying that leisure is nice, but in fact it is not high enough to be low.There is no longer a newspaper dedicated to publishing comic strips, and all people need are illustrators.Little life, little money.How could Chen Ge, who claimed to have made 'big money', value that little monthly money, so he naturally refused to give in.

As far as the little ocean Chen Ge earned before, after living on his laurels for so long, there is not much left. More than half of this month has passed, and Manman hasn't eaten meat yet.

Manman endured her disdain for Chen Ge in her heart, and said softly, "It would be great if you were still in the newspaper office, and you can get the share again."

Chen Ge raised his head, and Man Man saw that Chen Ge's eyes were flushed red. When he looked closely, the redness had disappeared, leaving only the excessive weird excitement.

"Even if I'm not in the newspaper, you have to give me the money." Chen Ge grinned, "It was agreed at the beginning that creating a character or drawing a chapter of the story is considered a commission. This refers to serializing on the comic strip, But if there are other uses, you have to pay more. For example, character cards. At that time, all the characters we created were paid. I created few characters and didn’t get much.

Now that it is published as a book, it is natural that we, the painters, have to calculate the manuscript fee.It is precisely because I create few characters that I draw more chapters and chapters. If he publishes it, nothing else counts. He must pay me extra for the part I drew, especially for color printing. I will definitely pay such a high price. Can get a lot of royalties! "

"Really?" Manman got up from the rocking chair, lost her previous laziness.

"Of course, the contract was signed in black and white at the beginning. If he doesn't give it, I can sue him."

The author has something to say:
