"Brother Peng, what you said is a bit absolute, right? According to this, wouldn't it all be a loss? Who would come to the capital? In business, if you make money, you will lose money. I have observed along the way, and there are not many people who are open for business.
If you don’t make money, why open the door?”
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly, Li Zeyu was young and energetic, and had the courage to do great things. This was a good thing.
But some things can't be done just as you want. If the entry point is wrong, not only will there be no profit, but there will be considerable losses, especially in the current recession period.
"You two have come all the way here. It's been a tiring journey, so you should eat and rest first."
Shen Dapeng stood up as he spoke. Without answering Li Zeyu's words, he smiled at Sun Dapao and said, "Leave these two bottles of liquor for now and drink them another day."
"Brother Peng, what's the taste of eating without drinking? Roast duck paired with white wine is amazing!" Sun Dapao stared at Shen Dapeng.
"Don't Big Head want to eat hot pot? We can't spoil other people's fun, right?" Shen Dapeng pointed at Li Zeyu.
"That's okay, Big Head, let's go eat hot pot. There is a food street not far from here, where you can find all kinds of snacks, barbecue and hot pot."
Sun Dapao said, stepped forward and hugged Li Zeyu's shoulders, "Come with me, Brother Pao is happy, I'm treating you today! Brother Peng, don't argue with me."
Shen Dapeng chuckled, "What's going on today? I'm rushing to pay for it in a taxi. You treat me when I'm eating. Just follow me and open your mouth when you go out."
After hearing this, Li Zeyu turned to stare at Sun Dapao with a look of disbelief.
"Brother Pao, it seems that you made a lot of money when you came to the capital to follow Brother Peng, right? Your pockets are bulging, and your words are strong, right?"
Li Zeyu clearly remembered that in Qingshu County, before Sun Dapao followed Shen Dapeng to deliver purified water, the money in his pocket was no more than ten yuan at most, and sometimes there was not even a penny. It was very scary.
Sun Dapao smiled proudly, "Isn't that true? Brother Peng is my noble man. Without him, I, Sun Dapao, would not be where I am today!"
"Okay, where does this all go?" Shen Dapeng said as he walked: "As long as you work hard, you will earn more in the future than you do now!"
Sun Dapao earns a salary from a waste recycling company, and he also gets paid for managing the off-campus food delivery business, which adds up to a lot of money for a month. He also takes care of delivering pure water to his family in Qingshu County, which makes his finances better.
The situation is naturally much better than before.
"Did you hear that? It's absolutely right to follow Brother Peng!" Sun Dapao patted Li Zeyu on the shoulder proudly, lit a cigarette and started smoking it happily.
Li Zeyu smacked his lips and glanced at Sun Dapao enviously, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"It's really different with you as my boy!" Li Zeyu laughed, "Okay, I'll treat you today, but I'll treat you to a big meal another day after I finish my work!"
"What's your matter?" Sun Dapao was stunned, but he quickly understood and couldn't help but curled his lips and said: "You kid, just the second Xiaohetang hotpot restaurant opened in our county, isn't that business a lot of money?
It’s time for a treat here.”
"Haha, that's that, that's..."
While chatting and joking, the group left the hotel and went to the nearby food street.
After Shen Dapeng came to the capital, he, Tang Wei, Sun Dapao and others had been to this place. There were all kinds of food available, and business was even better at night. It was quite famous in the Fangyuan area.
However, when a few people went in, they found that there were not many diners on the street. Even the various food stalls that were usually placed on the roadside were almost empty and very deserted.
"Hey, it's strange. There used to be a sea of people here at night, and people had to queue up if they wanted to eat. What's going on today?"
Looking at the deserted streets with only a few people and a restaurant that was open but almost no one was visiting, Sun Dapao made a strange noise and frowned.
"Brother Pao, why don't you invite us to this place for dinner? It looks like a place where birds don't poop!" Lin Xiaoxiao, who was next to him, looked here and there, also looking surprised.
"No, Brother Peng, what's going on? I remember when we came here before, this place was really prosperous?"
Sun Dapao was afraid that Li Zeyu would underestimate him, so he hurriedly looked at Shen Dapeng.
If he brought him to such a shabby place to eat, Li Zeyu might make fun of him for a few years.
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly, he had already guessed this situation.
This is the impact of **, which can cause heart palpitations and kill people.
Especially in Beijing, where the epidemic situation is even more serious, wearing a mask when going out is as normal as eating and drinking.
Not only have many universities and communities begun to implement closed management, but even going out on a daily basis has become a luxury. Many people would rather hide at home than go out.
Even if I go out, I don't want to go to crowded places.
The more people there are, the faster the epidemic spreads. Everyone has only one life, and no one is willing to join in the fun and get infected just for a mere meal.
"It used to be the past, but now it's ***, and there are very few people who are willing to come out."
After Shen Dapeng said lightly, he tightened the mask on his face and continued to walk forward.
"Did you hear that? It's *** now, and it's normal for few people to come out."
After Sun Dapao suddenly understood, he turned to look at Li Zeyu and explained to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Let me tell you, there are only a few food stalls on the street. They are not as good as our Qingshu County Farmers Market Night Market. I just don't know if any hot pot restaurants are open?"
Li Zeyu also looked around, muttering a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, there are several restaurants here, and there's one in front of you. It tastes quite good. Come with me." Sun Dapao said enthusiastically, then took the lead and led the way, and soon arrived in front of a Sichuan-Sichuan hotpot restaurant.
"Isn't this restaurant pretty good?" Sun Dapao took the lead and went in. Looking at the brightly lit decoration and the few customers inside, he turned around and smiled at Li Zeyu.
Looking at the dining hall, which is at least more than 100 square meters, and the decoration is relatively high-end, I think it's not bad. Li Zeyu nodded, "This is the one."
The enthusiastic waiter came up quickly, invited Shen Dapeng and others to sit down, and served tea and water with great attentiveness.
It was the peak dining period at this time. In the huge restaurant, there were dozens of tables, but there were only two tables with customers, and the rest were empty.
Now that I have finally waited for a table of guests, I naturally cannot let them go.
Seeing the young waitress's warm reception, Shen Dapeng smiled slightly and couldn't help but think.
"This restaurant has authentic Sichuan flavor. The spicy taste is very unique. Big head, I'll treat you. You can order whatever you like!"
Sun Dapao took the menu handed over by the waiter and handed it to Li Zeyu.
