The Era of Hard Work

  Chapter 65 Preparations for new business (recommendation ticket)

   In the next few days, business gradually returned to normal, most of the schools in the university town started school, the school season was completely over, and Lu Dong’s daily turnover was declining.

  Lv Dong is also making new preparations, ordering a new large trailer and asking someone to send it to the construction site, asking Lv Jianren to help with the modification.

   In addition, we have to purchase materials.

Of course, the stalls for daily necessities must continue. There are five universities, namely the Provincial University, the Normal University, the School of Finance, the School of Physical Education and the School of Art, near the central intersection. There are tens of thousands of students and faculty members. Even if the school dividends pass, there will be certain daily consumer demand.

   Lu Dong's booth is fixed on the northwest side of the central intersection, which is closer to the provincial and normal universities with the most students.

  The four corners of the intersection, the sidewalks are very wide, the open space on the northeast side is the largest, there is a small square, which is also the location of the future night market.

   But the shop on the northeast side is digging the foundation and entering the sprint stage. The mechanical noise and flying dust are not suitable for setting up a stall there for the time being.

  After Teacher's Day, Lv Dong's average daily turnover dropped below 1,000.

   And it's slipping daily.

   Although this is still a huge market without many competitors, daily necessities are not food and most of them last a long time.

  After the explosion of purchasing power at the beginning of the school year, there will inevitably be a trough in the consumption of daily necessities.

   If you only buy one or two things, the prices in the on-campus store are not so dazzling.

  When shopping is not concentrated, the location of the on-campus store is very advantageous.

   Lu Dong specifically asked Li Wenyue and Song Na to inquire, and the school store's performance is very stable.

   Furthermore, the students are adapting to the environment quickly, knowing that the trip to the county seat by CMB will be there soon, and it will not take long to ride a bicycle.

  The stall is really just a drink of soup.

   At the same time, the number of people who set up street stalls has increased.

   There is a young man of twenty-seven or eight who has become a member of the regular stall these two days, and also rides a small Jialing and hangs a big trailer.

   He sells pirated tapes, many of which are new this year. So far, they are scorpion shit, and the business is quite good.

   Then, a three-wheeled bicycle selling dried fruits such as peanuts and melon seeds joined in.

   Over time, people continue to smell the business opportunities in college towns.

   After all, this is not a paradise isolated from society.

   Society is changing, people's ideology is changing, and the way of making a living is also changing.

   Even Lao Zhao, who sells biscuits, opened a new business after Teacher's Day.

  Before noon, Lao Zhao and his niece rode their tricycles each, pulled their stuff over, and crossed the road from the intersection. As before, they came to the side of Lv Dong's booth and started to carry things down.

  Five folding tables and a dozen mazas, placed on flat checkered bricks.

   It won't be busy, Lu Dong took a second look, Lao Zhao still has an incubator for biscuits in the bucket, and in his daughter's bucket is a large metal thermal bucket and seven or eight bottles.

You can often see    in the big set, and Lu Dong asked: "Lao Zhao, what are you selling?"

   Lao Zhao's face full of life's turbulence showed a smile: "Tofu Nao! The light sesame cake is monotonous, I thought, maybe some students like the sesame cake and tofu brain, so I will call my daughter and try it together."

   He said to Lu Dong, "This is my daughter, Juanjuan."

   Zhao Juanjuan smiled at Lu Dong.

  Lu Dong smiled and nodded. The previous few times when Zhao Juanjuan came over, he was busy and didn't pay much attention. Looking at it, Zhao Juanjuan's fair skin and delicate facial features were definitely outstanding.

   Lao Zhao said to his daughter again, "This is Lu Dong, your name is Brother Dong."

   Lu Dong waved his hand quickly: "Don't, don't! Just call me Dongzi..."

   Looking at his face, this Zhao Juanjuan is several years older than him.

   Zhao Juanjuan smiled at him.

   Someone else came to buy something. Lu Dong entertained the customers and sat under the sun umbrella. Not only Lao Zhao wanted to add new business, but he also did the same.

   I said hello to Hongxing last night. After Hongxing ran his business in the morning, he would come over and take him to Quannan to buy things.

  On the daily necessities side, Qiao Weiguo is very familiar with what he does, and he doesn't need him to deal with too much trouble. He is to quote and settle accounts and collect a fraction of the money, which is enough for one person.

   And Qiao Weiguo has his own principles and rules, so he won't suddenly pick people and leave.

   This frees up your hands to develop new business.

   Taking advantage of the lack of business, the two sat under the sun umbrella to eat, and Lu Dong said to Qiao Weiguo, "I'll go to Quannan, you can stay for a while."

  Qiao Weiguo took a sip of water: "Just go, I'm here."

   Lu Dong reminded: "If something happens, don't worry about things, go directly to the opposite construction site, my seventh uncle and they all recognize you."

  Qiao Weiguo said, "I know."

   Lu Dong is still at ease, as far as these days are concerned, the current security in the university town is very good.

   Think about it too, the province and city have invested a lot of resources and have high hopes that the university town will not be chaotic.

  Like the place where Lv Chun is, it can be said that it is a continuous rotation, and it is very busy.

  Lv Dong, who does business in a university town, wants to see a stable public security environment.

The university town is still under construction. He heard from his uncle that more projects will be started this month. Not too far away, just at the central intersection, the affiliated schools of Provincial University and Normal University, the affiliated area of ​​faculty and staff, etc., there are new projects. project.

   Provincial University will also build an innovation port in the north, and the foundation stone will be laid this month.

   There are also several commercial residential areas in the south and east respectively.

   This will also allow more people to flock to the university town and bring greater business opportunities. At the same time, the security situation will inevitably face severe tests.

   Before one o'clock, Hongxing came over in a small truck, and Lv Dong rushed to Quannan with a few bottles of water carts.

   First go to Shilibao Market, and find Brother Niu to buy meat and eggs,

  Although I haven’t seen you for a long time, Brother Niu is also quite refreshing.

   The retail price of tenderloin and hind leg meat can reach five yuan. The price is not stable and fluctuates from time to time. Lu Dong does not need the meat, and other parts are much cheaper.

  Eggs are cheaper, the wholesale price is less than two yuan.

  In the past two years, prices have been relatively stable, even slightly lower than the previous two years.

   And in several other places, I bought some peppers and coriander, and other miscellaneous things.

   Lu Dong's main purpose is not to buy these, but to go to the nearest Sanlian mall to buy a refrigerator for more than 2,000 yuan to store food.

  The weather is still hot, and meat products are easily damaged.

  Sanlian city delivery, out of the city is not responsible for delivery, can only find a car to pull, currently belongs to the sales of Quannan Electric.

   When the private electrical appliance stores that deliver goods in remote rural areas come in, Sanlian, like many state-run stores, goes downhill quickly.

   In the end, it fell on the real estate, and a large number of people made a down payment.

   Lu Dong went to the big market in Beiyuan again to buy iron sheets, stoves, large casserole and stainless steel plates.

   Today, this is still the northern suburb of Quannan. A villa with a small courtyard with a construction area of ​​more than 200 yuan is at most 100,000 yuan.

  Quannan people rarely come here to buy a house, one is biased, and the other is chaos.

  The whole street is densely covered with dozens or even hundreds of large and small dance halls, karaoke halls and bathing centers.

   As for the nearby alleys, you can imagine by yourself.

   How do you sing a song? It's like: some people are not there once they miss it.

  This street has been prosperous for at least 15 years.

   When Lu Dong and Hong Xing returned to the university town, it was past six o'clock.

   The construction site just got off work, and Lu Dong asked Hong Xing to pull things into the construction site.

   The large drag bucket that Lu Dong bought before has been delivered to the construction site and placed in the welding area.

   Lv Dong and Hong Xing unloaded things from the car, Lv Jianren held a box ruler to measure the materials, and occasionally muttered a few words to himself.

   After unloading things, Lu Dong went over: "Seventh Uncle."

   Lu Jianren had a pencil on his ear and asked, "Just as we said last night?"

  Lu Dong nodded: "Fix everything that can be fixed. With the console as the center, the place where the briquettes are placed must be separated from the food. It is best to add a cover."

   "Don't worry, little work." Lv Jianren moved his hands and feet: "I'll fix it for you tonight."

   He greeted the two apprentices: "Xiaoguang, Red Soldier, work has started!"

  Lu Jianren took down the pencil to draw the line, and was ready to work.

  Lu Dong and Seventh Uncle were welcome, and said to their apprentices, "I'm sorry."

   Hongbing smiled and said: "Dongzi, you are too outrageous."

  Xiaoguang said: "In terms of discussion, you are still our two senior brothers."

   Lu Dong was speechless, if he really had to say it strictly, it would not be wrong.

   Lu Jianren waved his hand to chase people away: "Dongzi, go with your own business, don't make trouble here."

   Lu Dong responded and went back to ride Xiaojialing, and followed Hongxing back to the village to unload the goods.

  The truck was parked at the gate of the orchard. Lu Kun came over from the north on a bicycle. Seeing the unloading, he offered to help.

   "Brother Dong, why did you buy so many things?" Lu Kun helped lift the freezer together.

   Lu Dong said vaguely: "I didn't do a little business, I bought the goods." The freezer was moved to the house, and he asked Lu Kun, "When are you going to the army?"

   Lu Kun replied: "My dad has found a good man, and he will leave after the winter conscription."

   Lu Dong said, "It's not too long." He asked, "Where's Li Lin? Still wandering around all day?"

   "Going to the construction site." Lu Kun walked behind Lu Dong: "Follow Li Ershu to learn decoration, get up early every day and return late."

  Lu Dong nodded: "That's fine, if you have the skills, you can make money anytime."

  The job of decoration will only become more and more prosperous in the next ten years.

  In this day and age, as long as you work hard and work hard, earning money is not a problem. If you liven your mind a little more, you can even become a little rich.

   After unloading the goods, he forced Lu Kun a bottle of drinks. Lu Dong settled the bill with Hongxing and rode the Jialing car back to the university town.

   After eight o'clock in the evening, Lv Jianren and Li Jiazhu completed the modification of the new trailer, and Lv Dong pulled the goods and the new trailer back separately.

The day after   , the booth was temporarily handed over to Qiao Weiguo, and Lu Dong began to make final preparations for the new business.

I boiled eggs at home, and the fat and lean meat I bought was stewed in a slow fire according to Hu Chunlan’s method. I went to the coal station in Liuwan Village to buy a batch of honeycomb briquettes. I picked out the daily consumption and put it in a box specially welded on the new bucket, and sorted it out. A large waste paint bucket can be used as a trash can to put coal ash and the like.

  There are people who make sesame cakes in this village, and they use the baking process. The sesame cakes they make are big and full.

   Lu Dong negotiated with him 4 pieces for 1 yuan. If you can ask for more than 200 pieces per day, you can get 9 pieces for 2 yuan, and you can also deliver.

   Make biscuits at home, no rent.

   Lao Zhao told him that if there is no rent for a sesame cake of 3 cents, you can earn at least half of it with a coal stove.

   Then I went to the county to find a door to print some advertising posters, a thin piece of paper, at a low price.

   After finishing this, I returned to the orchard. The braised pork and braised eggs were ready. Lu Dong tasted it. The old lady made it by herself, and it tasted much better than what he made before.

   Lu Dong also considered opening a stall for braised pork, but the current conditions are not suitable. He himself is busy in circles, and Hu Chunlan needs to take care of the orchard, so it is impossible to take a lot of time to marinate the water.

   Wait until the apples are finished in the orchard and the University City Night Market opens.

   At that time, we must plan a fixed booth, students can also have a fixed place, and the business is more secure.
