I open a convenience store in the tribe

The meat and seafood at home were all eaten, so Xu Xi had no choice but to make a bowl of seafood-flavored instant noodles with a marinated egg and a piece of ham for breakfast.Although there are no meaty and delicious seafood in the seafood-flavored instant noodles, the taste of the unstoppable instant noodles is better than Xu Xi's stewed cooking skills.So even if there was a little regret, Xu Xi still ate quite satisfactorily.

After breakfast, Xu Xi didn't procrastinate, he changed into beige linen clothes and hurried to An Yuan's house.

When Xu Xi arrived at An Yuan's house, the door of An Yuan's house was not closed.He went in to see Anyuan and Anyuan's husband, Li Jiang, was stirring something with a long wooden stick beside a large water tank on the left side of the yard.

Hearing the commotion, An Yuan looked back and found that it was Xu Xi who came, and said in surprise, "Huh? Xu Xi? Why are you free to come to me today?"

"During this period of time, I have researched a lot of new things, and I plan to open a store at home in a few days. No, after opening the store, many things are not suitable for packing in clay pots. I just want to order some oil paper bags from Brother Yuan. go back."

Hearing that Xu Xi has something new and plans to open a store, An Yuan and Li Jiang are very happy to see it, which is a good thing for their Qingmu tribe.

As for oil paper bags, although they have never done it before, it is not difficult for them. "That's no problem, just tell us how much and how big oil paper bags you want."

Before coming here, Xu Xi had a plan, but it was a pity that he couldn't choose the color of the oil paper.Fortunately, the color of oil paper is light yellow, so it is still acceptable to make oil paper bags.

"I want to order oil paper bags of three sizes for the time being. The small ones are about the size of a palm. The medium ones are twice as big as the small ones. The big ones are three times bigger than the small ones."

An Yuan and his wife patted their chests and said it was not a problem.

"Then I'll leave it to Brother Yuan and Brother Jiang. By the way, what's the price?"

Originally, a piece of oil paper with a width of one meter and a length of one meter cost ten copper dollars.It is roughly estimated that a piece of oil paper can make about 35 or [-] small oil paper bags, about [-] medium sized bags, and [-] or [-] large sized oil paper bags.

It is a little more troublesome to make oil paper bags, so additional processing fees must be indispensable.After making some silent plans, Li Jiang said to Xu Xi.

"According to your request, the small oil paper bag is half a copper dollar, the middle one is one copper dollar, and the large one is one and a half copper dollars. What do you think?"

Xu Xi actually didn't have any idea about this, but compared with fragile earthenware pots, oiled paper bags are still more convenient and cheaper.

"Okay, please trouble Brother Yuan and Brother Jiang."

"Please help me make one hundred small and medium oil paper bags first, and fifty large oil paper bags first. Come and trouble Brother Yuan and Brother Jiang when you are almost used up."

One hundred small oil paper bags cost fifty copper dollars, one hundred medium ones cost one hundred copper dollars, and fifty large ones cost seventy-five copper dollars, adding up to 75 five copper dollars.

With so much income at once, An Yuan and Li Jiang couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear, and they looked at Xu Xi with more kind eyes.Seeing this look made Xu Xi feel uncomfortable, and hurriedly paid a gold dollar as a deposit, and then left directly regardless of An Yuan and his wife keeping him for lunch.

Xu Xi who left An Yuan's house was not in a hurry to go home, but went to Xi En's house on the way.When he arrived, Sean happened to be making a wooden cabinet that someone asked him to order in the yard.

Sean was not surprised when he saw Xu Xi, and asked without raising his head, "Have you eaten yet?" Xu Xi walked to Sean helplessly, randomly found a slightly smoother piece of wood and sat down.

"Are you asking about breakfast or lunch?"

Sean has been busy since early in the morning, and he doesn't know what time it is now. "Um, I'm so busy that I forgot the time. What time is it now?"

Xu Xi said casually, "It's almost time to be straight."

Upon hearing this, Sean put down his work. "So soon, it's about this time, and Ah Feng is coming back soon." Seeing Xu Xi rolling his eyes helplessly, Sean couldn't help but think of Xu Xi saying that he was too clingy yesterday, and felt a little resentful Touched his nose.

"Well, you came at the right time, let's have lunch together later."

There are no ingredients at home, and Xu Xi, who just ate instant noodles in the morning, doesn't want to eat instant noodles anymore.In addition, they were already very familiar with Sean, so Xu Xi didn't refuse.

"Okay, I just finished eating all the seafood and meat at home yesterday." Sean tactfully didn't ask any more questions, but he didn't dare to gossip in front of Xu Xi, lest he be baffled for no reason.

"By the way, I didn't come to you for a meal. Seriously, do you have time to help me make something these days?"

Sean thought for a while and said, "I may not be free today and tomorrow. I took orders for a few cabinets and wooden barrels in the past two days. But if you need it urgently, I can make yours first."

Sean's loyalty made Xu Xi feel that the salt and sugar he put in some time ago was worth it, and this friend was not in vain.

"I'm not in a hurry, it's okay to do it in two days. Didn't this just happen to be at brother Yuan's house, so I stopped by to tell you in advance."

"Brother Yuan? Are you going to buy oil paper from him?"

Xu Xi shook his head, "No. I plan to open a store after a while. Except for salt, I don't plan to use clay pots like sugar. Not to mention the space occupied by clay pots, they are very fragile. So I just I asked Brother Yuan to order some oil paper bags that are convenient for storing things."

"It's very good. An Sheng and I saw that your store had been set up for many days and there was no movement. We thought you didn't plan to open a store. But some people in the tribe were very anxious, and they were afraid that they would not be able to buy salt and sugar in the future. "

"How is it possible? I also have to make money to support my family. I have to think carefully about opening a store. I can't just sell salt and sugar. It's so monotonous."

Sean shook his head helplessly. He is a friend who is good at everything, but he knows a little too much, and he is always so careless.

You must know that salt and sugar alone are enough to support the development of a tribe. As a result, his friend regards such precious salt and sugar as dispensable as small stones on the side of the road, and even despises a small shop with only this The two precious items seemed monotonous and insufficient.

It's true that people are more angry than people. Fortunately, Sean and the others have gotten along with Xu Xi a lot during this time, and they are becoming more and more familiar with and accustomed to Xu Xi's hidden inferiority.

In fact, Xu Xi really didn't intend to sow hatred, but he was not a local at all.Coupled with the fact that sugar and salt in convenience stores are too easy to come by, Xu Xi can't treat these two things as rare things like Sean and the others.

Xu Xi didn't pay attention to what Sean was thinking, and just got back to business, "If you have time these two days, help me make some shelves for displaying goods."

"Shelves? What kind?"

Xu Xi has no special requirements for the shelf, as long as a four-tier shelf that is convenient for displaying goods is enough.

"An ordinary four-tier shelf is fine, 1.5 meters long and about [-] centimeters wide. If it is tall..."

Considering that my height is only 1.7 meters, and the height of other males is only about 1.7 meters, if the shelf is made too high, the topmost things will not be easy to hold, so I continued, "If it is tall, 1.8 meters is enough."

"That's easy, how many do you want?"

"Salt definitely needs a shelf, sugar also needs one, and I still have some seasonings and some small snacks. I need four in the store alone. I also need to prepare several shelves in the warehouse. If you calculate it like this, you Help me make ten first, anyway, my storefront and warehouse are quite big, and the extra ones can be used when I come up with new things."

Although the number is a bit large, fortunately Xu Xi's requirements are not high, and he doesn't need any complicated and beautiful patterns.However, Xu Xi is also his friend, even if Xu Xi doesn't have any requirements, Sean still wants to make it as beautiful as possible.

"Okay, I will finish the orders that have been accepted as soon as possible in the past two days."

"It's okay, I'm really not in a hurry, you can take your time, don't tire yourself, lest Qi Feng come to settle accounts with me." Not in a hurry is not to comfort Sean, but Xu Xi is really not in a hurry.

It will take at least two or three days for the oil paper bags from Anyuan to be ready.During this time, Xu Xi still had to unpack and pack the things to be sold one by one, and after the oil paper bags were ready, he had to put these things into the oil paper bags one by one and get ready.It will take six or seven days in the middle.

The two chatted for a while, and Qi Feng, who went out, returned with a full load.When he saw Xu Xi, Qi Feng was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered and said, "Here we come."

After chatting for a while, Qi Feng consciously went to the kitchen to cook.Qi Feng's cooking skills are many times better than Xu Xi's, and Xu Xi's mouth is full of greasy food.

After finishing business and having a delicious lunch, Xu Xi contentedly rubbed her belly and prepared to go home and take a comfortable nap.

Before going back, Qi Feng took some seafood and meat and said to Xu Xi, "Xu Xi, it happens that you are here, let's take these meat and seafood back together."

Qi Mu and Qi Feng took turns to deliver meat and seafood to Xu Xi, and it happened to be Qi Feng's turn today, and now that Xu Xi happened to be at his house, Qi Feng didn't have to make an extra trip.

It's just that Xu Xi didn't reach out to take it, he waved his hand and said, "No need, Ming Yuan said yesterday that he would send something over, you can keep these for yourself."

Xu Xi said so, Qi Feng and Sean did not continue to persuade.It's just that Sean couldn't help but said in the end, "You know that Mingyuan is a little bit interested in you, isn't it that you are willing to accept his things now?"

Compared with Sean, Qi Feng seemed a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a while, he still said, "Mingyuan is actually quite good, but his life is not good. If, I mean, if, you are not interested in him, don't be too serious." Give him hope, let him misunderstand. Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and that disappointment will gradually make people feel hopeless."

Sean knew that Qi Feng was thinking of his father who died in depression, so he quickly stretched out his hands to hold Qi Feng's fists clenched tightly because of his excitement, and comforted Qi Feng silently.

Although Xu Xi didn't know why Qi Feng reacted so suddenly, he also listened to Qi Feng's words.

Xu Xi was not a scumbag in the first place, if he hadn't been so interested in Ming Yuan, how could he have created opportunities for Ming Yuan to get close to him.

It's just that Qi Feng reminded Xu Xi that some excessive words and deeds should be done in moderation without being sure that it is Mingyuan.
