During the eight days of food testing, Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing had diarrhea for three days.
Every time I have diarrhea, it’s you and me.
Either neither of them has diarrhea, or they have diarrhea almost at the same time.
The worst thing was that on the sixth day after they arrived in the foggy city, they not only had to poop several times at noon, but also pooped at night.
It made both of them pale and their legs weak.
The happiness index plummeted.
That night, when the two of them were squatting in two adjacent stalls in a public toilet, Zheng Qing, the neighbor next door, sighed: "Xiaodao, you said that when Shen Nong tasted Baicao, did he have diarrhea as frequently as the two of us? I guess so.
Not so often, right? Otherwise, he would have died?"
Comrade Xu was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "I wonder if Shennong can find the toilet every time he has diarrhea..."
Zheng Qing: "..."
…
In eight days, they finally tried all the dozens of hot pot restaurants they had heard about online before coming to Fog City.
The night after they finished singing, the two went to a serious Chinese restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ordered two bowls of rice. While eating, they looked at each other, with a complicated smile on Zheng Qing's face, "It's not easy!
I can finally have a solid meal of rice, and I bet we won’t have diarrhea tonight.”
Tongdao Xu looked at the two meat and vegetables dishes and a bowl of pork ribs and kelp soup on the table, and nodded, "I believe it."
In fact, since they had diarrhea several times, they were a little scared when they went to try other hot pot restaurants.
Especially those two days when my legs were weak.
Don't eat it, you can't taste it.
Eat less. Those dishes you ordered will be wasted, and waste is shameful.
If you eat them all... you risk diarrhea.
In fact, they all know that eating hot pot itself is not that dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, eating hot pot may not cause diarrhea.
But they couldn't resist the fact that there were so many hot pot restaurants that they tried in the past few days. Among the dozens of hot pot restaurants, there were always one or two whose food was not so clean.
Fortunately, after eight days of hard work, they had tasted all the dozens of hot pot restaurants they planned to try.
Both of them felt relieved.
While happily eating vegetables and rice, Zheng Qing chatted casually: "Xiaodao, now that we have finished the trial, how many stores do you want to buy the formula from? Have they been listed?"
Comrade Xu did not stop his chopsticks and was still eating leisurely, in the same chatting tone, "Well, we have listed 12 for now, but among these 12, the ones with the best business probably won't
Selling our formula, but it’s okay, there are jujubes but there are no jujubes
Let’s talk about it. Starting tomorrow, we will go door to door and ask! If these 12 companies all agree to sell our formula, I don’t have that much money now! As long as a few of them are willing to sell to us, that will be enough.
Well, it means our trip was not in vain."
Zheng Qing nodded, "Well, that makes sense!"
After a pause, he looked up at Xu Tongdao and praised with a smile: "But Xiaodao, I really admire you now, really!"
Comrade Xu raised his eyelids and stopped using his chopsticks, "Admire me? What do you admire me for?"
Zheng Qing: "I admire the way you do things! To be honest, you are much better than me in this aspect. If I want to open a hot pot restaurant, I will never think of coming here to try dozens of hot pot restaurants, and then one
Go to a family and ask them if they sell the formula, you
It’s rare to be able to relax and do this in a down-to-earth manner. I’ll tell you the truth! I think with your way of doing things, even if you can’t do hot pot in the end, you can still do other things in the future.
You will definitely make a fortune! This is what I think in my heart."
Comrade Xu raised his eyes and looked at him, laughed dumbly, and shook his head, "You are too generous. There are many people who work more seriously than me. You, maybe you are in the circle you have been in contact with before, and there are not many people who work seriously! So!
That’s why you think it’s rare to see me like this. When you see me more in the future, you won’t think so.”
When he said these words, Xu Tongdao thought of those serious classmates he had met during his student days.
The seriousness of some people really puts him to shame.
For example, some people get up at four or five o'clock in the morning every day to memorize English; some people hold books in their hands even when eating and going to the toilet; some people are still doing exercises during breaks...and so on.
Therefore, he has long known that there is never a shortage of hardworking people in this world.
And he, Tongdao Xu, has never been the one who works the hardest.
Zheng Qing frowned and looked at him, and Xu Tongdao smiled in return.
After a moment, Zheng Qing laughed at himself, nodded, and breathed out, "Maybe! You're right. There were not many serious people in the circle I was in contact with before. However, I still think you will succeed, because if
Even people like you who do things like you can't get ahead, so people like me have no hope of getting ahead in this life."
…
"Hello! Is your store owner here?"
At about 9 a.m. the next day, in a hot pot restaurant that had just opened, Comrade Xu, who had just walked in, asked the woman at the bar with a warm smile on his face.
Zheng Qing stood not far away.
The woman at the bar was dressed fashionably. After hearing this, she looked at Comrade Xu up and down, and then glanced at Zheng Qing who was not far away. She frowned and asked: "Do you have anything to do with the boss? If you have anything, you can follow me.
explain!"
The smile on Xu Tongdao's face did not change, "Oh, it's about cooperation. We are from other places. I heard that your store's business is very good and the hot pot tastes very good, so we want to spend money to learn from your store.
How to make hot pot, sister! Can you call your boss for me? Thank you! Sorry to trouble you!"
At this moment, Comrade Xu, no one could tell that he was already a boss with a net worth of over one million. He looked more like a young salesman who was just starting out in society.
The woman at the bar was a little surprised, looked him up and down again, nodded slightly, "That's it, okay! Just wait a moment, I'll call the boss!"
"Hey, thank you, thank you! Sorry for bothering you, sister!"
"Just wait here!"
The woman walked out of the bar and quickly walked into the kitchen. After a while, she called out a middle-aged man with short hair in his forties, "Brother! It's them. They said they want to pay to learn our skills!"
The woman following the middle-aged man pointed at Tong Xu and introduced them.
The middle-aged man walked over and looked at Comrade Xu and the others with a frown.
Comrade Xu had already greeted me warmly and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, hello! My surname is Xu. You can just call me Xiao Xu. What do you call me?"
The middle-aged man frowned and shook hands with Xu Tongdao, then shook it off in a perfunctory manner, giving him a perfunctory smile, with a bit of disdain in the smile, "You don't have to worry about my name, you want to learn from us.
The store’s technology, right? Sorry, our store’s technology is not passed on to others!”
Comrade Xu's smile remained unchanged, "Brother, please make a price!"
The middle-aged man laughed, "It's not about the price..."
"Ten thousand! Is ten thousand okay?" Xu Tongdao asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man laughed again, "No!"
"Fifteen thousand?"
Comrade Xu proposed again.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face still showed disdain, and he still shook his head, "I told you it's not about the price."
Xu Tongdao: "One hundred thousand! Do you want to sell it for one hundred thousand?"
The middle-aged man's smile faltered and he hesitated.
At that time, it was Comrade Xu's turn to laugh because he tried it out - it was indeed a matter of price.
Then, before the middle-aged man hesitated to give the result, Xu Tongdao smiled and waved his hand, "Sorry for disturbing you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
One hundred thousand dollars to buy a formula, and he's not crazy yet.
