Chapter 27 Do you want to start a business?
Binhai Normal University, dormitory garden living area.
Lu Man passed by a convenience supermarket, subconsciously touched his pockets, and walked in.
I selected two packs of paper towels and one pack of wet wipes from the shelf, and went to the counter to check out.
The cashier was a young man in his twenties, chatting in the waiting room of Treasure Island while controlling the characters of "MapleStory Online" on his computer.
Seeing that the shopping street was full, I only glanced at it briefly: "Fifty cents plus fifty cents plus one dollar and a half, totaling two dollars and a half."
"Boss, how do you sell these little rubber bands?"
Lu Man pointed to the headband in front of the counter, which was placed in a box and sometimes used as extra change along with bubble gum.
"Fifty cents." The cashier boy stared at the computer, "You give me three yuan, and I won't change your money."
"become."
Maybe it was because it wasn’t common for boys to buy hairbands. After the cashier guy finished typing a paragraph, he took an extra look at Lu Man.
"This kind of rubber band is too simple. If you get one with a small animal on the side, it costs 50 cents a piece, so it will be free of charge."
"Thanks, brother." Lu Man waved to him, "Happy upgrade."
Tissues, wet wipes and rubber bands are the three must-have items for warm men. It is recommended that boys who need them always keep them in their pockets and take them out when needed.
When we arrived at the family community, downstairs from Aunt Feng Wenqiu's house, Lu Man sent "I'm here" on QQ and sat down on a leisure bench.
Ten minutes later, Gu Jiaer came downstairs, wearing a long off-white skirt, a loose Korean-style shirt, and a black sweater vest. She was well-behaved and well-dressed in a campus style.
"How about it, will it be faster this time~"
Gu Jiaer clasped her little hands behind her back, feeling proud that she was only ten minutes late. This was something worthy of giving Lu Man credit.
"You really have the nerve to say that." Lu Man crossed his legs on the chair, "I deliberately calculated that I would go out twenty minutes late. If I go according to the time you planned, I will have to wait downstairs for half an hour."
"Brother, we just met this morning and you are going to quarrel with me!"
"Let's go have breakfast, why don't we go there?"
"Hey, wait for me!"
He led Gu Jiaer to the back alley of his family's community. There was a wonton stall and a dozen small tables and stools, occupying almost half of the alley.
"This kind of small stall looks delicious." Gu Jiaer stared at the steaming cauldron, "With so many tables, his business must be very good."
After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Lu Man greeted the boss: "Hello, two bowls of chicken soup wontons!"
"Okay, it'll be ready soon-"
Gu Jiaer held her skirt with both hands and saw a flag floating on the pole of the wonton shop: "Brother, look at the slogan on his flag. It's a bit funny."
Ten big yellow characters on the red background flag: If you are not good at studying, you will sell chicken soup when you grow up.
"Here comes the chicken soup wontons——"
The boss served two hot bowls.
Lu Man waited for him to walk back to the cauldron and said in a low voice: "Don't look at this slogan, but he is actually a senior who graduated from Binhai Normal University."
Gu Jiaer shook his head and expressed disbelief. A normal college student will support a wonton stall after graduation?
"Don't underestimate the breakfast business."
Lu Man explained: "If you work hard and work hard, it won't be a problem to earn more than 100,000 yuan a year."
"This senior is even more extraordinary. He is a top student in the School of Physics. He has very high scores in this school."
"Why didn't he do a physics major?"
"When he graduated from college, something happened to his family. His poor health required him to take care of him. A scientific research institute had already given him a job offer, so he did not go to another province to find a job."
"He has a sister who runs a chicken stew shop with her brother-in-law. She usually doesn't take care of the family. Her head is spinning, so she said I would set up a breakfast stall, go out early in the morning to make money, close the stall and come back, and I can look after the bedridden in the rest of the time.
patients."
Lu Man said, putting two spoons into Gu Jiaer's bowl.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Rinse your spoon with the soup in your bowl."
"You! Big pig hoof, don't come here!"
Gu Jiaer slapped his hand away.
Lu Man retracted his paw and looked at his hand with red marks: "It's really cruel..."
Gu Jiaer had no expression on her face and went to get a small bowl and some hot water: "Give me your spoon too."
After helping him rinse the spoon and handing it to him, Lu Man continued: "Jia'er, look at what's special in the bowl."
Gu Jiaer lowered his head: "Is this ice cube? Chicken soup frozen?"
"Yes, this is the soup stock that was cooked in his sister's shop. He froze it into chicken soup in advance and kept it air-conditioned in a large thermal bucket. When the customers come, they add it to the wontons. It tastes very good."
Gu Jiaer immediately figured out the key: "The wontons will be very hot when they come out of the pan. After adding the chicken soup to the jelly, the temperature will drop quickly."
She scooped up a handful of wontons. In just a few words, the temperature had already cooled down, and they were still a little warm inside, which was just right for the taste.
I took a sip and tasted it. It tasted fresh and sweet, with the mellow aroma of chicken.
"So his stall has a high occupancy rate, and customers eat quickly and leave as soon as they finish. Don't underestimate this turnover rate." Lu Man said in a complimentary tone, "Others can entertain ten waves of customers in one morning, but he can do it.
Twenty or even thirty waves.”
"Brother Wonton has paid for most of his family's medical expenses and has already bought a house in the urban area of Haiqu."
There are five flavors and seven colors, and the taste among them is all life.
"Wow, it's really amazing." Gu Jiaer admired in a low voice, not knowing that a small wonton could have such skills.
"He also often posts on campus forums to exchange ideas on making money."
Lu Man: "He also has a plan. Since chicken soup can add flavor to wontons, why can't it be expanded to other dishes? Chicken soup with cabbage, chicken soup rice bowl, and tofu, eggplant, etc. can all be made into chicken soup.
The core Chinese fast food.”
"Can this be successful?" Gu Jiaer could not imagine the prospects of this model for the time being.
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Lu Man looked at the senior brother who was busy in front of the pot. He had never heard of him becoming bigger and stronger in his previous life. His plan might have died due to various reasons.
But there is a brand with a similar idea, but it started in Hui Province and gradually became a chain. That brand is called "Laoxiang Chicken".
Gu Jiaer lowered her head to eat wontons, her hair always falling down. She pulled her long hair back and held it behind her head with her left hand.
Lu Man casually took out a small rubber band and said, "Tie your hair up."
Gu Jiaer was surprised and took the rubber band headband: "You prepared it specially for me?"
"Nonsense, look around me. Apart from you, the only mosquitoes are female."
"I hate it..." Gu Jiaer puffed up her chest and tied her tail into a ponytail. A small detail that was originally very touching was ruined by one sentence.
After finishing a bowl of wontons, Lu Man stared at the flag on the stall and murmured: "This is the meaning of university. It is not to let people get a professional position, but to teach a learning mindset that can be used for life.
Discover the key to the essence of things and follow the laws of development to help yourself achieve success. Go beyond the outside and achieve the world."
Gu Jiaer held up her chin and looked at Lu Man with a smile: "Brother, do you have any idea of starting a business after graduation?"
If he answers yes, Gu Jiaer will be very happy, her character likes this kind of novel exploration.
