Far away in Moscow

Chapter 91
"It's nothing." Wang Shen twisted his upper body uncomfortably: "That's all, I want to tell you, I don't plan to continue working at the fried instant noodle stall."

"Hey! Well done, why don't you stop doing it?" Hu Yi pretended to be surprised, lit a cigarette and looked at Wang Shen with great interest.

In fact, he has been paying attention to Wang Shen's stir-fried instant noodle business in the past few months, and every day during dinner time, he takes time to stroll around the floor where Wang Shen lives.At the beginning, I could occasionally see him busy in the kitchen for a while, but later I hardly saw him turning on the fire, so I had a rough idea of ​​his situation in my heart.

Wang Shen lowered his head and smiled: "Hey, no one is buying it. If you can't sell three or five copies every day, it's not enough to toss about."

"Oh?" Hu Yi thought that such a face-saving person as Wang Shen would make up a high-sounding reason to cover it up, but he didn't expect him to tell the truth directly, so he couldn't think of how to answer the question, so he said casually: "No Bar?"

"Really," Wang Shen probably felt that his tone was a bit sour, raised his head and tossed his long yellow hair, and said indifferently: "Everyone likes to eat your boxed lunches and old house buns. Love to buy my crap."

"Oh."

Wang Shen paused for a moment. Seeing Hu Yi and Li Baoqing looking at him in silence, he hesitated and said, "Actually...I came today to tell you another thing."

"Ok?"

"I heard that Sixth Brother's restaurant is going to serve takeaways, just like you, it's also box lunch."

"Really?" Hu Yi and Li Baoqing looked at each other, both slightly surprised: "When?"

"Soon, the preparations are almost ready, and it is estimated that it will be opened in a few days."

"Oh." Hu Yi pondered for a moment, then slightly raised his eyebrows at Wang Shen: "Why don't you go and help Sixth Brother?"

Wang Shen shook his head and sighed: "I haven't been there for a long time. Since the last time the Mongols smashed the restaurant, the sixth brother has been displeased with me, and everyone else in the store is also ignorant. Sorry to go again.”

Hu Yi tilted his neck and thought for a while: "Just for this matter? Speaking of which, you can't be completely blamed on the Mongolian smashing up the store. I don't think Brother Six is ​​so narrow-minded, right?"

"Hmm... And, that's that, that," Wang Shen groaned for a long time, and said hesitantly: "You know, when the semester just started last semester, I asked a few preparatory freshmen for management fees in the name of Sixth Brother—— —Actually, I didn’t ask for much money—but this matter somehow got to Brother Six’s ears. Brother Six scolded me severely and told me...let me go.”

"I knew that you must have collected money from Xia Yan. You deserve it!" Hu Yi glared at him contemptuously, and suddenly became suspicious, staring at Wang Shen and asked lightly: "Why did you come here suddenly?" Tell us about these things? Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I think...I think," Wang Shen forced a smile on his face, "Brother Six has a strong army. Once their takeaway business starts, can the two of you handle it? Do you need help?"

"Help? You?" Li Baoqing glared at him angrily: "Forget it, what good intentions can you have, kid? You won't be thinking of any other tricks, right?"

Wang Shen took small steps and stepped back: "No, no, I have good intentions, really good intentions. I just want to cooperate with you...that..."

"Cooperation? We're with you?" Hu Yi stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Is this necessary?"

Wang Shen felt a little embarrassed, and seeing that Hu Yi and Li Baoqing's expressions were not very friendly, he puffed up his chest and cleared his throat: "Old Hu, Baoqing, you two, don't think that I'm rushing to beg you with my face."

The two of them remained silent, and Wang Shen continued: "That's right, my chow mein can't match your boxed lunches, but now that Brother Six is ​​here, you'll have to stop cooking after a few days! I said I'd like to cooperate with you, but I'm actually In order to help you... of course, I also want to make some money by the way."

"Crap! Why should we stop cooking?" Li Baoqing curled his lips contemptuously: "Everyone sells box lunches, what's so great about Sixth Brother?"

"You, you're so crazy." Wang Shen sneered and dropped a sentence, turned around and made a gesture to leave. After taking two steps, the two of them stopped him, then turned back and looked at Hu Yi: "I'll put the ugly words in front, six Brother, they have made full preparations for the takeaway business, and they are not like you who make small troubles."

Hu Yi raised his chin slightly: "Don't go, come in and sit down and chat for a while."

Wang Shen put on an expression of reluctance, entered the room and sat down on the chair angrily, suffocating his neck and not speaking.Hu Yi threw a cigarette to him and Li Baoqing each, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, how can you help? Give us a reason to cooperate with you."

"That's right, it's pretty much the same. There are seven or eight workers on my sixth brother's side, and you are just two bachelors, can you be my opponent?" Wang Shen crossed Erlang's legs and took a puff of cigarette, flirting old-fashionedly. Eyelids rolled up: "What do you say, I'm really not very good at cooking. But I can help you with other things, even if you run errands to buy a dish or deliver a meal, one more person is an extra strength Well."

"It makes sense." Hu Yi sat on the desk on tiptoe: "What else?"

"I know a lot of people in school, so I can help with publicity and advertising. Don't look at your little fame these past few months, but how can it compare to the strong signboard and solid foundation of Shang Liuge's restaurant?"

"Well, this can also be considered." Hu Yi absently swinging his legs in the air: "Is there anything else?"

"Anything else? Then I have to say it's my intelligence." Wang Shen raised his face and looked at the ceiling: "I can inquire about Sixth Brother's movements at any time, and provide you with information for reference. Know yourself and the enemy, and you won't win a hundred battles."

"A hundred battles will never end." Hu Yi corrected with a smile: "You're not bragging, are you? Haven't you been going to the Six Brothers Restaurant recently? How do you inquire about the news?"

"Do you look down on people?" Wang Shen snorted through his nostrils: "I also have a few friends at Sixth Brother's side, and they talk to me about things in the store cutely."

"Okay, then tell me, how did Brother Six fully prepare? What do you plan to do?"

"Well...hehe..." Wang Shen just wanted to make a fool of himself, but Li Baoqing interjected in a rough voice: "I have seen the menu of Six Brothers Restaurant, but there are only a dozen dishes, what tricks can you make?"

"Baoqing, you just don't have a straight mind." Without waiting for Li Baoqing's rebuttal, Wang Shen stubbed out his cigarette and said leisurely: "My sixth brother originally opened a restaurant, and it is more convenient for you to prepare materials and work. I heard that They plan to focus on box lunches, and they can also order a variety of stir-fried dishes, cold dishes, wontons, and dumplings—don’t think they are machine-made potato-filled dumplings like Lao Maozi’s, they are specially made by outsiders. , it’s not bad compared to the old house’s dumplings.”
