"If you want to rent it now, you have to rent it together with the warehouse behind it, so naturally no one wants it."
The lady selling shoes pointed to the back and said.
"Is there a warehouse in the back?"
"Yes, there is a big warehouse behind." The eldest sister nodded and responded.
Zhao Shanhe frowned. If this is the case, then it is really unnecessary.
"Forget it, I don't have to rent a storefront and just set up a stall during the day to sell. I have to make the first pot of gold quickly, otherwise I won't be able to make the trip."
Zhao Shanhe thought secretly in his heart.
By August at the latest, the shaved ice business will have to be transferred out, or a suitable person will be found to help him do it. It is impossible for him to keep doing this job.
He has a bigger goal in mind!
That night, Zhao Shanhe pushed his tricycle to the Malu Street Night Market to set up a stall. But just as he was setting up his stall, he heard a conversation. The moment he heard it, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Did you know? There is a shaved ice stall not far ahead, and their shaved ice only costs 40 cents a cup!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. I also heard that there are more styles there, including banana shaved ice and red date shaved ice. Come on, let's go over there and try it."
"Okay!"
Zhao Shanhe watched the chattering people walking past his tricycle, and he felt a little anxious. Although he said he didn't see who was selling shaved ice, it didn't matter, it was probably Bi Yuntao.
Bi Yuntao started quickly enough.
Of course, this does not mean that no one comes to buy Zhao Ji shaved ice. There are still some old customers who support it. Even if they know that someone is imitating it, they have not said they want to patronize it.
"It seems that we need to plan the next step quickly. If the first imitator appears in this night market, there will be a second and third one."
"But imitation can only be imitation! Copycat will never be on the stage!"
Zhao Shanhe muttered secretly.
Sure enough, there was a tricycle parked not far away.
If you take a quick look at the things placed on it, you will see that they are almost exactly the same as those on the Zhaoshan River side. There is no difference.
The person in charge of making shaved ice in the back is Sun Tianliang, and the one watching over to collect money is naturally Bi Yuntao.
A group of people were gathered there.
"I want a banana shaved ice!"
“Give me a watermelon shaved ice!”
“Boss, let’s have a cup of your specialty mung bean paste shaved ice!”
Hearing such shouts and watching Sun Tianliang continuously making shaved ice, Bi Yuntao, who had been busy collecting money, was happy. He had never been so excited as he is now.
"Forty cents a cup, a hundred cups is forty! At this rate, I can sell at least two hundred cups tonight, that's eighty! Oh my god, I can make eighty yuan in one night, I'm going to make it
!”
Just thinking about this made Bi Yuntao's face glow.
"Hey, there's also a shaved ice shop here! Ruoqing, wait, I'll buy you a cup!"
At this moment, Chen Haiquan arrived on his bicycle. He would also invite Du Ruoqing to watch a movie tonight. The two of them came over early in order to find a good seat.
"That's right, why did you open another one? But is the shaved ice here delicious? I still think Zhao Ji's is delicious!" Du Ruoqing glanced at this place and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Zhao Ji!
Chen Haiquan felt a little jealous when he heard the name. What he couldn't tolerate the most was that as long as Du Ruoqing came to watch a movie, he would go to Zhao Shanhe's to sell shaved ice and chat for a while. The two got to know each other back and forth.
Chen Haiquan was jealous of this understanding.
So when he heard what Du Ruoqing said, he immediately said: "Look what you said, we also have to change the taste. Look, there are so many people queuing up here waiting to buy, can the taste be bad?"
"Besides, isn't it just a shaved ice? There's no technical content, as long as a person can make it with a head on his head. Just wait, I'll buy it for you right now!"
Chen Haiquan applied eye drops to Zhao Shanhe without leaving any trace.
Du Ruoqing just wanted to call out to Du Ruoqing, but she swallowed her words back, just buy it, it doesn't matter.
"A cup of your favorite watermelon shaved ice! A cup of their signature banana shaved ice! Here you go!"
Chen Haiquan came out quickly, handed over the watermelon shaved ice, and started eating the banana shaved ice himself.
"Why is this shaved ice like this?"
Du Ruoqing looked at the watermelon shaved ice in her hand and frowned slightly. Compared with the one made by Zhao Shanhe, the color of the cup in front of her was a bit turbid and the smoothie was a bit loose. Both in appearance and color, it made people uncomfortable.
.
Will this taste good?
"Wow!"
While Du Ruoqing was hesitating, Chen Haiquan had just taken a mouthful of banana shaved ice and vomited it out on the spot, then spit it out loudly with an ugly look on his face.
"What the hell is this!"
"Is this something people eat?"
"It tastes terrible!"
Almost at the same time that Chen Haiquan spit it out, a fuse seemed to be lit, and everyone who was eating shaved ice began to frown and complain one after another.
"What's wrong with this banana shaved ice? It feels like chewing cotton cloth. It tastes terrible."
"You drink this ice water, my cup of red bean shaved ice is like drinking swill!"
"I'll wipe it! How much saccharin is put in this cup of mung bean shaved ice? It's crazy!"
…
Anyone who bought shaved ice vomited it without exception.
The people in line were dumbfounded.
Du Ruoqing was also dumbfounded.
She subconsciously looked at the watermelon shaved ice in her hand, and suddenly felt that the cup didn't taste good at all. She didn't even have the intention to try it, so she handed it to Chen Haiquan directly.
"You can keep it and drink it!"
"I'll have a taste of this!"
After Chen Haiquan took it, he took a bite and threw away the rest. Then he turned to look at the stunned Bi Yuntao, pointed at his nose and shouted in pain.
"I said you are crazy because you want to make money? You don't even think about the bullshit shaved ice you made! Can you drink this?"
"Even if you throw this to wild cats and dogs, they won't smell it! Please refund your money immediately!"
"Yes, refund the money! We want the money back!"
"Not only will we refund the money, we will also compensate you!"
"Compensate for our mental losses, this thing is simply poison!"
When the people queuing up saw this scene, they all moved out of the way with a clatter.
Those who had just bought shaved ice gathered around and shouted angrily.
Seeing this scene, Sun Tianliang, who was making shaved ice, was stunned on the spot, with a flash of panic in his eyes.
Bi Yuntao was also so frightened that his lips trembled.
"how so?"
A minute ago, Bi Yuntao was thinking about filling his pockets with colorful banknotes.
One minute later, he never dreamed that he would become a street rat that everyone yelled at.
