Setting up the vegetable stall was the first step towards buying a house. Not only did the light beads flash a few times, the aperture seemed to be wider, which was a good thing for Li Feng.
"That wine bar."
The price of red wine is not high, the alcohol content is not high, and it is suitable for girls to drink.
The three of them bought daily necessities and checked out of the supermarket. When they returned home, Li Feng cleaned the lobster and red-spotted grouper he brought back, and had a seafood dinner with red wine in the evening.
“It’s so rich.”
Zhu Lin pulled Guo Xin and said with a smile, "I've earned it."
Guo Xin paid half of the rent, one because she really wanted to move out, and the other to help Guo Xin. After all, Guo Xin's internship salary was only a little over 10,000, which was not even enough for the rent.
"The food is served."
"Coming, coming."
Zhu Lin stood up and went to serve the dishes. Guo Xin smiled and stood up to get the bowls and chopsticks. Li Feng opened the red wine and poured it into the wine glasses to sober up. After waiting for the bowls and chopsticks and the dishes to be placed, the wine was almost sobered up.
"Come and drink."
"cheers."
"I wish Winter a prosperous business and abundant financial resources."
"Thanks."
"Ouch."
I drank too much yesterday and almost missed work. You must know that he made an appointment with Uncle Xu. This is a big event and there is no need to delay, so he sent the fruits and eels early.
I simply made some food and returned to the rental house in Chang'an. I turned on the air conditioner. I immediately lay down on the bed and returned to Hong Kong Island. I hurriedly got dressed and took a taxi as a last resort. There are three taxis on Hong Kong Island.
Types, urban taxis, New Territories taxis and outlying island taxis.
Taxis in Sham Shui Po are urban areas, and the price starts at a maximum of RMB 24. Li Feng is usually reluctant to give up, but today he has no choice but to take a taxi.
You were lucky enough to get a taxi, but you should know that it is normal for you to be unlucky and not be able to get a taxi for a long time.
When I got in the car, because I stopped at an intersection for two minutes, the meter jumped twice and was worth 1.70 yuan each time. It was a scam. It was too expensive. It cost at least 10 yuan per kilometer without traffic jams over the starting price. No matter how many times there were traffic jams on the road, it would cost tens or hundreds of Hong Kong dollars.
"Finally we're here."
The taxi ride only a few steps away cost more than 60 yuan. The distressed Li Feng decided not to drink randomly anymore. "No wonder all the taxi drivers in Hong Kong Island are rich."
Li Feng didn’t know that in 2018, a taxi with a red body would cost seven to eight million just for the taxi plate.
"Uncle Xu, I'm sorry."
Uncle Xu had already arrived at the entrance of Beihe Market. Li Feng got out of the car and jogged for a few steps. He quickly walked forward and said sorry. Fortunately, there were still a few minutes before the appointed time.
"Vegetable shops usually open at seven o'clock, so the neighbors come early." Uncle Xu didn't say anything else.
The stall opens at seven o'clock, so you have to come over at least five-thirty to pick up the food, set up the stall, and clean up. It's really early. "I understand, Uncle Xu."
"The stall is at the front."
We got on the elevator and came to the vegetable area on the second floor. Although the stalls were a little further back, they were quite L-shaped. Stalls could be set up on both sides of the corner. The entire countertop was nearly one meter wide and could be opened using extension boards.
Half a meter.
The short corner is about 1.2 meters, and the long corner is over 2 meters.
In total, the countertop area is more than 30 square feet, and the stall area is more than 20 square feet. The total area is more than 50 square feet, and the monthly rent of more than 30,000 yuan is really not expensive. You must know that some small vegetable markets cost more than 10,000 yuan for a small space of more than 10 square feet.
Woolen cloth.
When Uncle Xu led Li Feng in, many neighbors and stall owners greeted him. Uncle Xu introduced Li Feng to others as his nephew from the country, and asked the neighbors to take care of the business. Li Feng was very grateful, and ordinary stall owners would not help you win over.
Business, introduction to someone.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
"Uncle Gao asked me to do this."
Uncle Gao, Li Fengxin said that he would have to continue doing the night market from now on. He owed Uncle Gao such a great favor and it would be difficult to repay it. "We don't want the shelves and things on the stall anymore, and we will give them to you."
"Thank you so much."
These shelves, extension boards and vegetable baskets cost at least several thousand yuan, and second-hand prices are at least hundreds or thousands of yuan. "For purchase channels, contact Uncle Cha directly."
"This is the purchase order for the past year."
The purchase order is not only about the price, but also the quantity. Li Feng hurriedly took it. With this purchase order, the purchase volume can be easily controlled. Referring to the previous purchase volume is the best choice. After all, although Uncle Xu takes care of it, it is still not the same.
Go to Uncle Xu.
After coming down from the vegetable and fruit stall on the second floor, he watched Uncle Xu leave. Li Feng went down to the first floor and went to the aquatic product area to buy some seafood. Recently, Li Feng went to the wholesale market for fruits. He bought several hundred durians at a time, which was enough to last a week.
"I'm going back to buy some seafood."
"I don't know if I can bring sea water with me."
The amount of light beads carried has increased. It’s a bit wasteful to just buy some fruits. Let’s try some seawater to raise some seafood. “It’s really good.”
Give it a try and you will find that you can really carry sea water with you. Now you can bring more seafood to keep.
"Sell it or not."
The stall owner was a little unhappy and kept groping around, especially when he heard Li Feng speaking Mandarin. To be honest, some people on Hong Kong Island really have a lot of opinions about mainland tourists.
He didn't plan to take action at first, but now Li Feng doesn't feel burdened anymore, so asking you to drink some seawater is considered punishment.
"Not for sale." After saying that, he left without buying a fish, taking away a few kilograms of seawater and going back and forth several times.
The seawater was loaded with more than 100 kilograms, and it was almost ready. I left to clean up the stall and load the goods tomorrow. Guo Xin couldn't ask for leave. After all, he was an intern, but Zhu Lin had no class in the morning and agreed to come over to help.
"Recruiting?"
At the market in the evening, Li Feng specially brought some extra vegetables and brought a native chicken for Uncle Gao to make soup. "Uncle Gao, do you have any introduction?"
"Qiqi's mother just lost her job."
"Great, I just can't find the manpower."
"Qiqi, stop looking at me, go and call your mother."
Uncle Gao said to the stunned Qiqi. Qiqi ran away immediately and came down with a middle-aged woman in her early thirties. "Sister-in-law, I'm opening a stall in the market behind and want to recruit two people."
Grocery buyer, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.”
"Six hundred mosquitoes a day, two days off in a month."
"Six Hundred Mosquitoes is good."
Uncle Gao nodded. The business in the market is usually better in the morning, and you can take a break in the middle. Although it is thirteen hours a day, you don't stay up late. If you work 600 mosquitoes a day, there will be 18,000 mosquitoes in a month. This can be considered a high salary.
At least for Qiqi's mother, this is much higher than the 12,000 mosquitoes per month she works as a night shift security guard, although she is a bit busier.
"If there's no problem, I'll go to work tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
Having a job is happiness. For Guo Jie, this is simply taken care of by God. God bless her. If she doesn’t have a job, rent, food and drink will all be a problem. “Tomorrow at 5:30, we have to get familiar with each other on the first day. I’ll be half an hour early.
Question?"
"No problem, no problem."
Guo Jie couldn't wait to start work at five o'clock. Li Feng thought it was okay. At least he looked honest and a good worker, although the salary was a bit high. "Uncle Gao, thank you for your help."
"Hahaha."
Uncle Gao didn't understand that this was Li Feng giving him face. Looking at the native chicken at his feet, he saw that he was right. Li Feng saw that it was getting late, divided the vegetables, and saw that Qiqi and her mother were still there.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, uncle." Qiqi, a little girl, may not look big but is very sensible.
"Go to bed early, the first day tomorrow will be early."
The next day, Li Feng got up early to deal with other matters and rushed to Beihe Street Market immediately. The delivery truck had already arrived.
"Uncle Tea, morning."
"This is the bill of goods. I got you 80% of the goods."
Uncle Cha directly threw the bill of goods to Li Feng, and Li Feng took it and looked at it. According to Uncle Xu's bill, he picked up 80% of the goods.
"Uncle Tea, I'll treat you to tea later. I'll go pick up the goods first." Li Feng took Guo Jie in the cart to pick up the goods, and later moved them to the second floor.
The goods had just been delivered to the second floor, and Zhu Lin arrived in a hurry. In fact, it was already quite early. There was no other way. Zhu Lin's house was close to Mong Kok and she had to take the subway there. "Winter, sorry."
"Help me first. Have you had breakfast?"
"I brought a sandwich."
Li Feng didn't have time to make breakfast early in the morning, so he bought some sandwiches and handed them to Zhu Lin and Guo Jie. "Thank you, boss."
"You guys eat first, I'll put the food on the table."
When arranging the vegetables, Li Feng did a little trick. For example, he mixed some brought tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, and carrots into the tomatoes.
Some vegetables are difficult to start with because they grow differently.
‘Close the stall early today and leave some extra vegetables to stuff in Guangzhu.’
As long as the light beads are left overnight, the taste will be much better. This is a sharp tool. You don’t have to be ignorant. It tastes good and you don’t have to worry about no customers. Besides, there are some old neighbors taking care of the business. As soon as the goods are placed, the old neighbors come, which is indispensable.
Asked Uncle Xu.
"Uncle went to live with my eldest brother for retirement."
"What a blessing."
"You must be Grandma Wu. These are pasta tomatoes. I'll pack them for you."
"Thank you, young man, for being as thoughtful as your uncle."
Relying on his increasingly better memory, Li Feng identified these old neighbors one by one and handed them the prepared vegetables, which was unanimously praised.
Zhu Lin was completely surprised that Li Feng did not admit his mistake. More than 20 old neighbors remembered it clearly.
"Guo Jie, you have to remember these neighborhood preferences clearly."
"I know, boss."
The whole morning's work went relatively smoothly, because the new stall still had some influence.
"Jingle bell."
Just as he was about to invite Zhu Lin to dinner, Li Li called. "Have you opened a stall to worship the gods?"
"Sister, don't worry, bye."
Guo Xin and Zhu Lin had already prepared incense and candles, and they came over early in the morning to place them in worship. The strange thing about people here on Hong Kong Island is that even though they are a big city, they worship these Feng Shui superstitions very much.
"How was business this morning?"
“Some old neighbors came here, it’s not bad.”
When the topic of birthday greetings came up, Li Feng asked about his uncle's preferences. "My uncle likes children, and my uncle likes wine."
"Wine, white wine?"
"Oh, I got it."
The child can't take Guo Xin there first, so he can go to the supermarket to buy some wine and check it out after closing the shop in the evening. "Buy a few bottles of Wuliangye or Maotai. I wonder if it's expensive?"
