Chapter 189 Spring is here

The weather was getting warmer, and people in the market found that there were suddenly more people working at the two largest stalls in the far south. In the past few days, four men and five women have come here, leaving two men and four women behind. The leader of the Five Poisons works with a ferocious bald man.

   Arrived at the market at around 9:30 in the morning, Gao Ming entered the booth and greeted Lu Dong, took out the work clothes in the car body and put them on.

  The apron with white characters on a red background, a red hat, and an anti-foaming plastic mask have a particularly formal feeling.

   Seeing the newcomer Fu Zhaoxia sitting at the folding table and dressing dishes, Gao Ming washed his hands, sat down opposite her, and picked up the bamboo sticks to wear the fungus.

   "The boss has confirmed the opening time." Fu Zhaoxia looked at Lu Dong who was on the phone south of the market and said, "Next Sunday!"

   Gao Ming said: "There is still a week."

  Fu Zhaoxia lowered her voice: "With such a big store, is the boss very rich?"

   Gao Ming shook his head: "Not very clear."

   looks like Lujia Village.

  Fu Zhaoxia saw that Lu Dong finished the call and said, "The boss is back, hurry up to work."

   Before ten o'clock, several other people arrived.

   There are many people working at the stall, so Lu Dong can spare his time and tell these people about the production process and precautions of Mala Tang and Braised Rou Biscuits.

   This is not a high-tech job. The meat is stewed with a special recipe. The soup and sauce of Mala Tang are all prepared by Lu Dong. Just add water and put skewers to boil.

   After working in the market this weekend, and waiting for people to familiarize themselves with the two special snack processes, Lu Dong will temporarily suspend work and bring everyone back to the store for the final opening training.

  The catering industry is, after all, a service industry.

   Lu Dong agreed with Lu Zhenlin that the aunt will come over next Tuesday to train the spirit of service.

   It was almost half past ten. The two of them went to the opposite side to make braised pork biscuits. The four of them stayed here to watch the Mala Tang stalls. Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo left the market and went to the shops in the north.

  Song Na's Cozy Warehouse opened today.

   On the opposite glass door of the Wenxin Warehouse, there is a red background with gold characters "Opening on the Golden Sun", and large flower baskets ordered by Lu Dong on both sides. Song Na and her dormitory classmates are laying red firecrackers all over the floor.

  Song Na saw the two coming and greeted: "Lu Dong, Wei Guo, here we come."

  Lu Dong saw Lao Song come out of the store with another plate of firecrackers in his arms, so he hurried over to take it: "Uncle, give it to me."

   He tore open the package and put it on the ground. Qiao Weiguo entered the store and brought out a few boxes of firecrackers.

   In the adjoining store to the north, Jiao Shougui and Jiao Sanhei came out to help together.

  Lv Dong entered the store and looked at it a little. The left-hand rows were stationery shelves, and the right-hand rows were mainly for accessories and ladies' supplies. On the shelves near the checkout counter at the entrance, there were some gifts such as crystal balls, jewelry boxes and glass photo frames.

  In the glass counter, there are some gold and silver jewelry.

   Li Wenyue and Du Xiaobing came in one after another, and Du Xiaobing asked, "Do you still sell gold and silver jewelry?"

  Song Na said, "It's all fake. The silver ones are white copper, and the golden ones are brass."

   said, she unconsciously touched her chest, the brass safety buckle was sandwiched in the middle, soft and hard touching, with a clear touch.

   is also this safety buckle, which made her think that she can sell some high imitation accessories.

  The purchase price is very low, but it can be sold at a good price.

   A few classmates from the same dormitory came. Song Na was busy greeting people. Lu Dong found Jiao Shougui and asked, "When will you open?"

   Jiao Shougui said: "Before the end of the month, a lot of things haven't arrived yet, some of the latest foreign movies, it will take some time for the discs to arrive."

   At exactly eleven o'clock, the Warm Warehouse officially opened.

  The opening ceremony is very simple, nothing special.

   "Help me get some firecrackers?" Song Na came over and said.

   Lu Dongsai gave her a lighter: "You are the boss, you can order it yourself."

  Song Na said, "Okay, I'll light the firecrackers, you help me to light the firecrackers."

   "Okay!" Lu Dong called Li Wenyue, Du Xiaobing and Erjiao to the firecracker box together.

   He shouted one, two, three, and everyone lit it together. The firecrackers crackled, and the firecrackers spit out bursts of white smoke, flying into the sky and exploding.

  嘭——嘭——

   The loud noise attracted the attention of many people, and some people gathered around to watch the fun.

  The firecrackers are finished, the firecrackers are all gone, and the business is officially open!

   Warm Warehouse is one of the first shops to open, and it sells what the schoolgirls just need. A lot of flyers were sent out before, and on the opening day, there were gifts given at the door, and many customers rushed into the store.

   There were too many people and the store was not big, so Lu Dong and others simply didn't enter the store, but acted as gift-giving boys at the door of the store.

  In addition to the gifts, those who shop in the store can also get a 50% discount coupon for Lu's Mala Tang, and they can go to the temporary market within two days to enjoy a 50% discount.

  Lao Song was nervous about opening the store. Even if he bought the store, he invested 80,000 yuan in the store. He was more stressed than Song Na, and he hadn't slept well for seven or eight days.

   With his income from planting pecans in Stone Village, he has not been able to earn such money for more than ten years.

   Seeing so many people today makes me feel somewhat relieved.

  Lao Song was sitting behind the cashier and was in charge of collecting money. During the first four or five days of opening, he did nothing but was busy familiarizing himself with prices and learning how to use machines.

   This is not a part-time job for others, but a business of one's own. The pressure of 80,000 yuan is on the head. Even people in their early forties can learn fast.

  There is an endless stream of people who come to checkout after buying things. Those who have codes scan the codes, and those who don’t have codes look at the price tag input, which is not very different from electronic calculators.

   Scanning the code, collecting money, and making change, Lao Song was very busy.

  Two yuan a piece of trinkets sells very fast, and girls are particularly interested in things that sparkle under the spotlights.

  On weekends, the small square of the temporary market is the most crowded place nearby. There are shops and new stores opening, which attracts a steady stream of people.

  Girls like to go shopping, but there is really nowhere to shop in the university town except for this temporary market.

   Open a new store and feel fresh.

   At half past eleven, Lv Dong asked Qiao Weiguo to return to the market. A few newcomers looked at the two stalls. He was worried. With Qiao Weiguo there, nothing would happen.

   There are him, Li Wenyue, Du Xiaobing, and Song Na, a few classmates in the same dormitory, there are enough people.

  Huang Juan looked at Lu Dong from time to time, with a little curiosity in her eyes. Among the eight people in the dormitory, she had the best relationship with Song Na, and she also heard Song Na talk about this person a lot.

The    person is tall and strong, but his face is too dark, similar to when Song Na met her.

   It seems that Song Na has become a lot whiter. The weather has turned warm recently, and she always hides from the sun.

  Huang Juan retracted her gaze, listening to Song Na's words, this person is very good, but unfortunately he didn't get into college.

   Busy until after twelve o'clock, Lu Dong went into the store to pick up a box of mineral water, opened it up and sent it to Song Na's classmates.

  Huang Juan took the mineral water and asked, "Are you Lu Dong?"

  Lu Dong smiled and nodded: "Hello."

  Huang Juan introduced herself: "I'm Huang Juan, I bunk with Song Na." She asked again, "I heard from Song Na that you are going to open a shop here too?"

  Lu Dong pointed to the guide: "Lu's Mala Tang will open next Sunday, you are welcome to join us."

   "Okay, definitely go." Huang Juan replied with a smile.

   Lu Dong took mineral water to Li Wenyue and Du Xiaobing on the other side.

  Li Wenyue looked inside the store and said, "The business of black eggs is good."

   "There is a successful start." Lu Dong saw that people were entering the store one after another, and more and more people were in the store, and said, "It will be difficult to be as popular as today. The ideal effect is to generate a group of repeat customers today."

   Li Wenyue said again: "When the Mala Tang shop opens, it would be nice to be like this."

  Du Xiaobing pointed to the most crowded place in the south of the market: "Wen Yue, see, this is very popular, the business site is bigger, and it can accommodate more people."

   was talking, Song Na came out of the store and said to Lu Dong, "I don't see many people, I can't leave the store and go, you can take people to have a meal with you."

   Lu Dong was about to speak when Huang Juan on the other side of the door said, "No, no. Song Na, you are so busy today, just leave us alone. We can go back to school to eat later."

   College classmates are much more beneficial than those they meet after entering the society, and Song Na's other classmates also said no.

   Lu Dong simply called Du Xiaobing to go to the temporary market together, and came back with more than a dozen braised pork biscuits and Mala Tang in the lunch box after a while.

  This place is in the university town. Now if I want to find a place to have dinner nearby, it can only be the school cafeteria.

   The opening was busy, and Song Na came out again and said that she would treat guests another day.

  Song Na has a good relationship with the people in the dormitory. Huang Juan and others have eaten and went into the store to help.

  The three people from Lu Dong left one at the door of the store as a fortune boy, and the others took turns eating.

   After a while, Jiao Shougui, who had eaten at his own restaurant in the north, came out and replaced Lu Dong.

   "By the way, how is your driving test?" Du Xiaobing asked while eating braised pork biscuits.

   Lu Dong said: "Next Monday, I will test the venue first, and then take the road test. If it goes well, I will get the book soon."

  Du Xiaobing asked, "Is the driving school you went to?"

   Li Wenyue interjected and asked, "Lao Du, do you want to learn to drive too?"

   "That's right! Our store lacks a logistics supervisor and a freight driver." Lu Dongshe followed the stick: "Lao Du, this position is given to you, and I will give you a salary."

  Du Xiaobing swallowed the last bite of the sesame cake and took a sip of mineral water: "I learned to drive, not for this."

   Li Wen was more curious: "Why is that?"

  Du Xiaobing began to describe the bright future: "Think about it, then I will drive in the car and take Ning Xue for a drive, how romantic it will be."

  Lu Dong thought of Du Juan's heavy trust, and said, "Old Du, do you still have money to buy a car?"

   "Huh?" Du Xiaobing was stunned: "Didn't you say the company wants to buy a car?"

   Lu Dong told the truth: "If you want to buy a truck, you are willing to drive a truck to take people to romance, that's fine."

While    was talking, a short and thin girl came over, glanced at the signboard, and found three people in front of the store.

   "Lu Dong, Li Wenyue, how are you." The man casually greeted the two of Lu Dong and smiled at Du Xiaobing: "King Xiaoyao, what a coincidence."

   When she laughed, her mouth crooked a little.

   Lu Dong and Li Wenyue responded with a smile.

  Du Xiaobing glanced at her and said, "Hey, I said Xu Man, how can I see you anywhere?"

  Xu Man pointed to the signboard of the Wenxin Warehouse: "I'm here to buy something."

   "Go buy it." Du Xiaobing took the things, ready to exchange for Jiao Shougui: "I still have something to do."

  Xu Man followed to pick up the gift in his hand: "I'll help you."

   The two pulled to the door of the store.

   Li Wenyue asked, "What's going on?"

   Lu Dong shrugged slightly: "Spring is here."
