90s Little Struggle

Chapter 173 Hai Bo's Shop
And Xiao Hong had a lot of excuses, saying that she still had to go to the bookstore to buy some books, and she had to go to the street to see what delicacies were sold in other people's stores, so that she could sell them at home when she went back.

Anyway, Xiao Mengqiu couldn't refuse because of one set of one set.

So Xiao Mengqiu separated from her very worried, and repeatedly told her to go home early: "The key is on the door frame, don't get lost."

"Understood." Xiao Hong walked quickly when she went out, and after a while, she saw a khaki taxi, stopped it quickly, got in the car and reported the address.

The current taxi costs one yuan per kilometer, which is relatively expensive.

Most people prefer to take the bus, which can take you from the starting point to the end point for one yuan, and you can go around half of the provincial capital.

But the bus will stop when it arrives at the station, which is relatively slow.

Moreover, she just came to the provincial capital, and she is not familiar with the route, so it is more convenient and faster to take a taxi.

When she found Lao Liu's house again, Liu Haibo happened to be in a daze at the intersection, and when he saw her, he complained: "Why did you come here, don't you know that brother's time is very precious?"

Anyway, as long as she didn't tell her, she wouldn't know that she hadn't woken up for a long time, and she was thinking whether to go to the leather shoe store, or to hang out with her buddies for a day?

Xiao Hong was a little puzzled, didn't she say yesterday that she would not come here until around nine o'clock today, and went to look for him at his house.

It should be less than nine o'clock now, so it's not too late according to the agreed time?
That must be what he heard wrong.

But he wanted to save face, Xiao Hong didn't refute, but smiled and apologized: "Brother Hai has been waiting for a long time, I will treat you to lunch at noon, why don't we go and see your leather shoe store first?"

"Alright!" In Liu Haibo's memory, he never worried about money before he was 20 years old.

When I was in junior high school, I was not in the mood to study hard. I either sneaked out to play billiards, or went skating, or just wandered around. Let alone how chic I was when I was young.

But after he was 20 years old, he accidentally got into a fight with someone, and was locked up in the detention center for half a month. After opening the store, he never gave him a penny.

At that time, his eldest brother was gone, and he was the only one left in the family. His father was still so mean to him, which made him wonder for a while whether his father had other sons outside.

It was because I felt that I couldn't support my tuba, so I was going to practice the trumpet.

For this reason, he followed his father carefully for several months, and he was relieved to make sure that he didn't let his mother down.

But he also wants to save face, and feels that he can start from scratch. Unfortunately, until now, the business of the leather shoe store has been bleak. Fortunately, he can also earn some money by acting as a middleman.

It is also because he has to earn money to support himself that he understands that earning money is not easy, so he no longer goes to the dance hall to play, and he no longer yells for treats in front of his brothers.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be curious why Xiao Hong is so confident and thinks that opening a store can make money.

After all, she spent more than 3 yuan to buy the store.

And even his old man praised Xiao Hong, saying that she is smart and has business acumen.

In fact, Lao Liu also felt that his kid had been a scalper with him since he was a child, sold long-distance bus tickets and train tickets, and followed him as an intermediary for others. He understands honesty and trustworthiness. medicine.

Anyway, as long as it is a real father, it must be his own child.

Even if his son is not smart enough, it must be because he is still young and ignorant.

But now seeing that Xiao Hong's selling price is tens of thousands of yuan, and his plan for opening a store in the future is also very organized, Lao Liu finally can't lie to his ears, and simply praises Xiao Hong in front of him.

In this way, his son will also pay attention to Xiao Hong, and will be curious about how he does business.

Of course, if the son can pry Yan Hong's corner, then the sixth child will definitely agree with it.

Xiao Hong got into his van and came to the street with him.

It took only ten minutes to drive from his home to the store.

What's more, his leather shoe store is diagonally opposite her storefront.

The store door was already open, and Liu Haibo was very happy to see it: "The camel is quite diligent."

Xiao Hong followed in and saw a tall, thin young man polishing his shoes.

Luo Tuo is a tall, thin boy, only 17 years old. Both of his parents died when he was very young. It was Lao Liuduo who took care of their brothers.

Afterwards, his elder brother followed Liu Haibo. After the store opened, his elder brother helped to look after the store. Now he is allowed to visit the store during the summer vacation. His elder brother went to learn electrician with Lao Wu.

It's also because his older brother didn't graduate from junior high school, so it's hard to find a job. He knew that he didn't have a degree, so he told his younger brother to study hard. Therefore, Luo Tuo's studies were not bad, and he was successfully admitted to high school.

Luo Tuo was a little shy, looked at Xiao Hong, lowered his head, and shouted, "Brother Hai, you're here."

"Yeah!" Liu Haibo patted him on the shoulder: "You haven't been to my house for a long time, and my mother has mentioned you several times. I'll take you out to eat at noon, and have dinner at my house in the evening."

Anyway, Xiao Hong had a treat at noon, so he decided to take a few more people to eat at the big family.

He also sighed depressingly: "Anyway, business is not very easy now."

He encouraged her again: "How about we open KFC together?"

Xiao Hong understood in her heart why their business was not good.

There were nearly a hundred pairs of leather shoes on the two shoe racks, but the row that the boy had polished was black and shiny, while the two rows of leather shoes that had not been polished were dusty, and the dust on them could write on.

There are also empty beer bottles and cards scattered on the table in the middle of the store, and flies are buzzing on the oily dishes.

Anyway, after she came in, she smelled a strong smell of tobacco, wine and rancidity. If she was a customer, she would definitely turn around and leave.

She could even imagine that Liu Haibo and the others were shaking their legs, sitting there, playing cards, drinking and smoking. It would be hell if the business was successful.

She shook her head firmly: "I still want to open a stew shop, which is convenient and trouble-free."

Liu Haibo saw that she didn't get in, so he rolled his eyes silently, gloating and thinking: If you don't listen to the persuasion, when you can't drive anymore, you will take the initiative to find me as a partner.

So not only did he not turn his back on him, but he also accompanied her to see the storefront she bought.

Seeing that it was Liu Haibo who accompanied Xiao Hong, the owner of the fruit shop greeted him with a smile even if he was unhappy in his heart: "Brother Hai, you are here, landlord, you can eat whatever fruit you like!"

They have opened the fruit shop here for more than three years. Not only do they have regular customers, but the business is also good. They have also earned nearly 3 yuan in these years.

Hearing that the landlord wanted to sell the storefront, of course I was also very excited, but I thought the asking price was too high.

Besides, they insisted on asking for [-] yuan for such a dilapidated storefront, and the owner of the fruit shop countered with [-] yuan and they were still unwilling to sell it.

Therefore, they also want to force the landlord to make concessions, and they feel that no fool will buy it at a high price.Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would come out on the way, and before they could react, the transaction would be successful quickly.
