I open a convenience store in the tribe
Chapter 26
After lunch, Xu Xi took Ming Yuan to the big warehouse behind the store.The warehouse at this time is no longer as empty and poor as it was back then.
In the middle of the warehouse are four simple yet exquisite spare shelves, and on the right side are jars of various seasonings.On the left side, there are two large wooden cabinets attached to the wall, which are used to store things such as clay pots for salt and oil paper bags.On the innermost side is a large water tank.Salt, white sugar, rock sugar and other items are respectively installed in the large water tank.
Mingyuan was very surprised to see the warehouse full of all kinds of goods, especially the crock of salt. I don't know how long Xu Xi worked hard to save so much.
How tiring that is.
Mingyuan didn't know that these salts were bought by Xu Xi at a convenience store with some copper dollars, and the only thing Xu Xi had to do was unpack the bags and pour the salt into the water tank.
He only thought that these salts were all extracted by Xu Xi himself. Ming Yuan was not only proud of Xu Xi's ability, but also felt sorry for Xu Xi's hard work and exhaustion alone.
Xu Xi, who didn't know anything, happily pulled Mingyuan and said, "Mingyuan, let me tell you, we can put these goods on the shelves and open a store in these two days."
Anyway, Mingyuan, who has already made up his mind to take good care of Xu Xi, doesn't worry about what has happened, as long as he can lighten Xu Xi's burden in the future, he can do whatever he wants.
Since Xu Xi wanted to open a shop and was in such a hurry, Mingyuan would naturally do his best to help.What Mingyuan didn't know was that although Xu Xi really wanted to open a convenience store of his own, the real reason why he was so anxious was because he was too short of money.
It is relatively simple to fill the salt, just put the salt into a special small earthenware pot, and fill it about eight full.As for the sugar that is calculated by catty, it is necessary to use the beams of the orcs.
The scale beam of the Orcs is actually nothing special. It is just a round wooden stick with hooks on both ends to hang items. One end is hung with weighing stones of different weights, and the other end is hung with goods that need to be weighed.
When it needs to be weighed, directly hang the weighing stone of corresponding weight on one end, and hang the goods to be weighed on the other side, and take the balance.
Xu Xi is not very good at using this scale, so for the sake of efficiency, the two work together.Xu Xi was in charge of packing salt, soy sauce and other goods that did not need to be weighed, and Ming Yuan was in charge of packing sugar and other things that needed to be weighed.
The two of them worked all afternoon, and the warehouse was packed with various goods. Now it just needs to put these packed goods on the store shelves, and then prepare the jerky before the official opening.
The next day, Mingyuan beat a howling pig and a green cow early in the morning to make meat jerky.Xu Xi wanted to help at the beginning, but after realizing that he had caused Ming Yuan a lot of chaos as expected, he had to obediently stand behind Ming Yuan and guard silently.
I can only do some work of delivering seasonings and helping to put the marinated and twined meat pieces on the drying rack to dry.Originally, before meeting Mingyuan, Xu Xi planned to ask An Sheng to help with this matter.
After all, didn't An Sheng claim to be the best jerky maker in the entire tribe?As for having Mingyuan now, Xu Xi didn't want to bother others anymore.Even if that person is one of the few friends I recognize.Always troubling others will make Xu Xi always feel indebted.
As for Mingyuan, Xu Xi is not a person who doesn't know what kind of thoughts he has.Being able to ask Mingyuan to help with such peace of mind is also because in Xu Xi's heart, Mingyuan has been classified as one of his own and no longer belongs to outsiders.
After the jerky was marinated and dried to dry, the two went to the warehouse to pack the remaining seasonings and other goods one by one.Because it was almost sorted out yesterday afternoon, it didn't take long for the two of them to handle all the goods.
There are fifty cans of salt, and about twenty cans of seasonings such as soy sauce, chili sauce, chili oil, and sesame oil.Fifty packages of white sugar, rock sugar and other items were packed respectively.As for the chocolates and candies, Xu Xi only packed ten bars, and a pack of ten candies also packed ten packs.
After the goods were ready, the two non-stop sorted the goods and placed them neatly on the shelves of the store.Seeing the empty shelves being filled little by little, the satisfaction in my heart is indescribable.
Ming Yuan on the side looked at Xu Xi who was a little tired from all the work, but showed a satisfied smile from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, as if he was as satisfied as he was in this store.
"Mingyuan, I am very happy when I think that the store will open in two days. You know, I have no big ambitions since I was a child. I never thought about how great I would be. The ambition of becoming a great hero has never matched me. I just want to live my life peacefully, to have a shop of my own, to open the door when I want to, and to rest when I don’t want to.”
"Just thinking about it makes me wake up from a dream." Xu Xile looked at Ming Yuan with some hesitation and asked, "Do you think I'm worthless?"
Mingyuan shook his head without thinking, and said sincerely to Xu Xi, "It's very good of you, really good. Don't worry too much, just do whatever you want, I will always be here."
Always there.
Those three simple words were extremely heavy for Xu Xi who was used to being alone.These three light words hit Xu Xi's heart heavily, leaving a deep imprint on the softest place.
Xu Xi was half helpless and half happy thinking: I really don't know whether to say that this guy Yuan is a piece of wood, or whether he should say that his skill level is too high and he is too provocative.However, no matter what it is, the fluctuated heart cannot be ignored, and Xu Xi already has an idea in his heart.
He showed a rare smile that he was determined to win, and said in his heart: I want this female.
But this matter has to be put aside for a while, after all, men have to establish a career before they can start a family.After things in the shop stabilized, I had enough money in hand before I could make serious plans for major events in life.
Although Mingyuan didn't know Xu Xi's plan, but Mingyuan was clear about the change in Xu Xi's eyes when he looked at him.This made Mingyuan very happy. Things were moving in a smooth direction. It didn't matter even if Xu Xi didn't say anything. Anyway, Mingyuan had already recognized Xu Xi, even if it took him a lifetime to wait.
After the goods were arranged, Xu Xi and Mingyuan made a plan and set the opening date for the store at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.It's no wonder that the date was set too fast and too hastily. It's because Xu Xi lacks both money and people. Whether it's for the money bag or for the happiness of the rest of his life, this shop should be opened as soon as possible.
"I'll call An Sheng and Sean over to have a meal together later. I have to ask them to help promote the opening of the store in the tribe. After all, the two of them are more popular than me in the tribe. What do you think? "
In fact, Xu Xi doesn't need to ask Ming Yuan's opinion on this kind of matter at all. However, since he has decided to spend his life with Ming Yuan in the future, even if the two of them have no real relationship now, Xu Xi still wants to respect Ming Yuan and listen more. Listen to Mingyuan's opinion.
Mingyuan could feel that Xu Xi valued him, which made Mingyuan feel very comforted. Even though he never expected to get anything in return, he was still warmed by Xu Xi's actions.Because no one has ever asked me for my opinion except my father and father who have passed away.Especially in this case, this important thing.
"You are so nice, you must be very popular."
Although Xu Xi didn't know where Mingyuan came to his conclusion, he praised himself so blindly.Fortunately, Xu Xi still has some ideas in his heart, so he won't be so overwhelmed by Ming Yuan's brainless bragging and feel that this is the truth.
But Xu Xi didn't care much about popularity.After all, people are mutual. When you don't open your heart to accept others, it is naturally impossible for others to accept you with peace of mind.
An Sheng and Sean are very different from myself. They are lively, cheerful and enthusiastic, and they can talk to anyone and play well.The popularity aspect is of course not a problem.
And although Xu Xi himself is not gloomy, he is not the lively and cheerful type. To Xu Xi, it is quite good to maintain ordinary acquaintances with strangers.
As for being able to get acquainted with An Sheng and Sean, it is also thanks to the temperament of these two people.But Mingyuan was the exception. To be honest, Mingyuan was able to walk into Xu Xi's heart so quickly, thanks to those extremely beautiful blue eyes.
While Xu Xi was going to invite An Sheng and the others, Ming Yuan began to busy himself in the kitchen in a very virtuous manner.Because Xu Xi likes it, rice is naturally indispensable.
For dishes, Mingyuan made a simple stir-fried wild vegetable, and Xu Xi's favorite spicy crab and garlic prawns are also indispensable.Because there was still a lot of beef left over from making jerky, Mingyuan made another braised beef.In addition, Mingyuan also stewed a pot of delicious bone soup with beef bones.
When Xu Xi led An Sheng and the others back home, they could smell the fragrance before entering the door.This kind of feeling of someone cooking and waiting for me at home is so good and warm, it makes Xu Xi's heart soften, and a happy smile appears on his face unconsciously.
The four people who have always been keen to distribute dog food in front of Xu Xi saw Xu Xi showing such a happy smile for the first time, and there were gossips in their eyes.After a few people looked at each other, they were a little curious about who could make Xu Xi, an incomprehensible piece of wood, fall in love.
Forget about the old Xu Xi, who stayed at home and didn't like to communicate with others.But ever since Xu Xi knew how to make salt, his whole person has changed.Although not to the point of letting go, the whole person is a lot gentler, and there is no problem in communication.
Such a good male who is gentle and knows how to make salt is rare in a century, and it is naturally impossible for a single female in the tribe to miss the whole opportunity.
It's just a pity that Xu Xi was too incomprehensible, and turned a blind eye to these females who offered to be nice to him, so he couldn't be tempted at all.Although those females were disappointed, they couldn't help it. Who made them look down on themselves.
As Xu Xi's good friends, An Sheng and the others naturally worried a lot for Xu Xi, fearing that Xu Xi would not want to be single for the rest of his life.That's why they show off their affection in front of Xu Xi from time to time, so as to stimulate Xu Xi to find a partner as soon as possible.
