♂?,,
"What? Say it again?"
Xiao Yu's mouth curled up into a faint smile, "A monthly salary of 600, with food and lodging included."
The big cow slapped a palm on the table, shooting the chopstick holder high into the air. Fortunately, Little Yu was quick and caught it, preventing it from falling to the ground.
The big cow rubbed his head with some embarrassment and said to Little Yu, "Sorry, I'm really too excited, done! Done! Where can such a good thing be found?"
Xiao Yu invited Da Niu to join for two reasons. Firstly, he himself had to go to school and usually only Zhou Xin and the other two girls were in the store. In the wholesale market it was okay, but later when they moved out, this safety issue was worth considering. Yang Da Niu was physically strong and capable, with him around, no one should dare to cause trouble.
Secondly, this girl who makes La Mian is really not suitable for the job. I've taught Zhou Xin countless times, but she doesn't have enough strength and can never meet my requirements.
But a great cow is different, it has tremendous strength, as long as you grasp the key points, the noodles pulled out will definitely not be worse than your own. In this way, your spicy noodle sauce can guarantee quality.
Xiao Yu told Lao Zhang about this matter, and Lao Zhang immediately shook his head like a rattle drum. "Son, we're running a small business, and with such a small storefront, hiring three people at once would be a huge expense for salaries, rent, utilities, and other costs every month. Can we afford it? And where will Big Niu live? We can't have him living with those two young girls, that's not proper!"
Xiao Yu listened to Lao Zhang's words and found them reasonable, but he also hesitated. However, since he had already spoken his mind, there was no going back on it.
The cost of this salary is easy to say, the business of his own store is not bad, after deducting various expenses and Zhou Xin's salary, he can make a net profit of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per month, which can also support one more person.
It's just the problem of "living", but it's really a bit of a headache. The two girls living in the store are already very crowded, and there is absolutely no room for Big Cow. Moreover, this solitary man and woman sharing a room, Zhou Xin and others will not agree. It seems that only Big Cow can live with himself.
Lao Zhang bought a bed that was big enough for himself, and two people could squeeze in without any problem. Besides, he had been spending his nights at the internet cafe lately, so leaving the room empty would be a waste.
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and then said to Lao Zhang, "Dad, how about this? Let Da Niu stay with me first, and after I find a new place, he can move into the store. What do you think?"
Old Zhang was shocked after hearing what Xiao Yu said, "What? Son, you want to open a store somewhere else?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Dad, look at this storefront, it can only fit three tables. How many customers can we accommodate? During lunchtime, so many customers see that we're full and they just leave."
"Moreover, this store is located in the innermost part of the wholesale market, with a very poor geographical location. The daily customers are mainly vendors and vegetable buyers, and the customer base is too narrow. This kind of business can only be done to this extent, it's already reached its limit. If you want to expand and make more money, you can only move out of the wholesale market."
Old Zhang also agreed with this, but still had some worries. "Son, it's not that dad is pouring cold water, but wholesale markets have their own advantages. At least the rent is cheap and the cost is low. But when you go outside, it's different. Not only is the cost of opening a store high, but there are also many competitors. Can you guarantee that your store will do well?"
"Hey, Dad, didn't you always have faith in me? Besides, I'm still wearing our family's sacred jade. With the ancestors' protection, everything will be fine, hehe."
Old Zhang also burst out laughing, pointing at Little Yu and saying, "This kid is alright! Young people should take risks! Good! I support him!"
Zhou Xin and the others returned, they couldn't understand why Xiao Yu accepted Yang Da Niu's behavior. What use could such a foolish big guy be?
It wasn't until the next day that Xiao Yu taught Da Niu to practice kneading and pulling noodles, and it was only then that they suddenly realized that this kind of work was indeed too strenuous for women. Zhou Xin's arms are now sore from pulling noodles every day, and if she continues like this, she won't be able to bear it either.
Yang Dainiu's strength was astonishing, but his brain wasn't stupid either. Under Xiaoyu's several demonstrations, he quickly grasped the essentials of pulling noodles. After a few attempts, except for some lack in speed, the quality of the noodles he pulled out was no worse than Xiaoyu's.
In addition, some heavy work in the kitchen, such as changing oil and moving large pots of simmered soup, which usually required Zhou Xin and Tao Hong to do together, were all taken care of by him. Now, Zhou Xin and Tao Hong are responsible for collecting money and attending to customers, and their workload has become much lighter.
With Yang Da Niu, Xiao Yu got another benefit, he can finally retreat to the second line and be the boss. Every day, as long as he boils good broth and makes good chili sauce, other things are done by three partners, saving a lot of time, all of which he spent in internet cafes, surfing online is more tempting than pulling noodles.
Qin Lulu has been restless these past few days, the results of the mid-term exam have been weighing on her mind, she's lost her appetite and can't sleep at night, after a week, two big dark circles have appeared under her eyes.
Looking around, almost all the classmates were in the same state as her, even the most lively Yingmin had a worried look on his face. Only Zhang Xiaoyu was still busy as usual.
Qin Lulu had followed him several times and found that after school, he would go directly to 'Hongxing Internet Cafe', it turned out that this guy was going online.
Doesn't he have a computer at home?
Recalling the first time she saw him on the bus, Qin Lulu confirmed her own thoughts and couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment towards Xiao Yu. With such a poor family background, he didn't even know how to study properly, always going to internet cafes to idle around, what kind of future would he have?
What's in an internet cafe? Besides online games and movies, how many people go there to look up study materials?
It seems that this guy is a good-for-nothing, at this age, he still doesn't know how to study hard, and he even wants to be in the same class as me, taking the university entrance exam together. It seems that not only does he have no hope for undergraduate studies, but even his chances of getting into a vocational college are also in danger.
Qin Lulu got angrier and angrier, unable to bear it any longer, she stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Yu's arm fiercely.
"Ouch!" Xiaoyu cried out in pain, fortunately this was a self-study class and his classmates were all buried in their books, no one had the leisure to mind other people's business.
"Hint: Attacked, life -1."
Looking at the bright red arrow on Qin Lulu's head, Xiao Yu suppressed his urge to punch and said in a low voice, "Qin Lulu, what are you doing?"
Qin Lulu snorted and gave him a white eye, then turned her head to talk to Ying Min.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, thinking of another girl he had met, Xia Xiaojuan. He thought to himself, "Why are women so different from one another?"
This summer Xiaoxian, after that accidental encounter downstairs, Xiao Yu never met again. This gentle and shy girl left a very good impression on Xiao Yu.
Perhaps the two people's school times just happened to miss each other? Or did she move away? Of course, Xiaoyu wouldn't be bored enough to wait for her downstairs specially, after all, they were just fleeting acquaintances, and even if he met her again, he didn't know what to say.
The mid-term exam results have finally come out.
What shocked the classmates was that the top student in the class was not Qin Lulu, the study committee member, but Zhang Xiaoyu, who had just transferred to the class this semester.
Zhang Xiaoyu's grades were all perfect except for a few points deducted from language, which was something that Hongguang Middle School had never seen before.
Teacher Gao's attitude towards Xiao Yu underwent a one hundred and eighty degree change, originally she thought that this transfer student forced into her class by Director Wang would definitely make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly, this student turned out to be a top-notch talent.
Although the questions in this exam were not difficult, it's not easy to get full marks. From Zhang Xiaoyu's answers, it can be said that there is no leakage at all, and even the composition "My Father" in Chinese is written with deep emotions, moving people to tears.
Teacher Gao only knew through this essay that Xiao Yu had such a complicated life experience, and while admiring him, he also added twelve points of sympathy.
Qin Lulu's mood wasn't bad either, her mid-term exam results ranked second in the class and third in the grade, getting into a key university was basically a sure thing, but Zhang Xiaoyu's results made her feel dizzy, was this guy even human?
The results came out and class assignments began.
Judging from the exam results, Qin Lulu's liberal arts are slightly better than her science subjects. It would be more advantageous for her to take the liberal arts in the college entrance examination. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu also chose liberal arts. What is this guy thinking?
His math and physics are so strong! Why choose liberal arts? Is it to be in the same class as me? Thinking of this, Qin Luluo's heart couldn't help but feel a little smug, it seems that she didn't hit him for nothing that time, he finally learned his lesson.
Xiao Yu chose liberal arts for his own reasons. Liberal arts has more to memorize, and with his "photographic memory" skills, reviewing is easier. Before the college entrance exam, he doesn't need to spend too much time preparing. Moreover, Zhongtian University is famous for its liberal arts programs, which are more numerous than other schools, so choosing liberal arts gives him a wider range of options when applying.
There are six classes in the third year of high school at Hongguang Middle School. Since most students choose science, there are four science classes and two liberal arts classes.
Because Xiao Yu and Qin Lulu both chose liberal arts, they stayed in Teacher Gao's Class 3 of Grade 3, without even changing seats. Those who chose science had to bid farewell to their classmates and officially embarked on the long journey of the college entrance examination from today.
Teacher Gao's Class 3 of High School Three was reorganized, and except for a few boys, it was almost all girls. Yingmin stayed in the liberal arts class under Qin Lulu's guidance, although her science scores were slightly better. However, the competition in science classes was too fierce, and girls were more suitable to read liberal arts.
Qin Lulu has been in a good mood these days, her grandmother's body has recovered and moved out of the hospital, but that kind-hearted person has not been found yet, which makes the old lady very regretful.
Qin Lulu couldn't help but sneak a peek at the little universe beside her, seeing him casually flipping through a thick Oxford English dictionary, and felt a great sense of wonder. This guy didn't even bother to memorize the English vocabulary in his textbook, what's he doing looking at a dictionary? What a waste of time!
This guy still runs to the internet cafe every day after school, one time Qin Lulu was curious and secretly followed him in, turned on a computer behind Xiao Yu, wanting to see what he was doing.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, just as Qin Lulu had anticipated, this guy skillfully opened the video playback page, selected a movie, and started watching it with great interest. This movie was one that Qin Lulu had also seen before, it was the American long-form TV series "Prison Break" which had been extremely popular at one time.
I heard that this TV series has many seasons, with a tight plot and suspenseful storyline. Qin Lulu only watched three or four episodes, although she thought it was good, but felt it was too much of a waste of time, so she stopped watching, planning to watch the whole thing comfortably after the college entrance exams are over.
Never thought that this dead wood lump didn't take the college entrance exam seriously at all, and just watched it episode by episode.
Qin Lulu sometimes found it strange, this Zhang Xiaoyu usually didn't see him work hard in school, and when he went home, he spent most of his time online watching TV dramas, how could he get such good grades? Was he an alien from Mars?
Just as Qin Lulu was lost in thought, the classroom door opened and Class Teacher Gao and English Teacher Li rushed in from outside.
"Classmates, I just received a notice from the principal. Tomorrow, leaders from the Municipal Education Bureau will come to our school to observe an English class. Please take out your English textbooks, and later, Teacher Li will give you a brief introduction to the lesson content and the arrangement of classroom questions."
