The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 74: Temporary market (recommended ticket)

  Chapter 74 Temporary Market (recommended ticket)

  Nowadays, intersection stalls are widely circulated in university towns. At least in schools and construction sites near the central intersection, everyone knows that there are sellers here.

  The number of people selling things is also increasing.

   Gradually, it has the meaning of a fixed market.

  In the morning, some students also come out to buy breakfast, and Lu Dong's braised pork biscuits will naturally also do morning business.

   Lao Zhao’s father and daughter also started to rush over early in the morning.

  The weather is getting colder. This morning, Lu Dong sold nearly 100 braised pork biscuits and was whistling to clean up the stall.

  From the very beginning until now, he has paid great attention to hygiene issues.

   This is also one of the reasons why many students are willing to come and buy things.

   Lao Zhao and Zhao Juanjuan are cleaning up the maza and the folding table. The business has been good recently, and the father and daughter are in a good mood.

   Zhao Juanjuan straightened her waist, the sun shines on her face, it is probably the kind that is difficult to turn black. After so many days of wind and rain, her complexion is still fair.

   Compared to the first time, her clothes are also more foreign.

   "The increase in the flow of people is good for us." Zhao Juanjuan became familiar with Lu Dong and asked, "Dongzi, are you afraid of thousands of water in the past two days?"

   Lu Dong said modestly: "How come, in my business, I only have three meals in the morning, noon and evening. I'm exhausted at most 500."

Including Qiao Weiguo, with the increase of workers on the construction site these days, the flow of water has exceeded 1,000, and it has reached 1,677 several times, but he would not say that, and instead asked: "You sold five barrels yesterday. ?"

  The father and daughter of Lao Zhao, now it is morning, noon and evening.

   Zhao Juanjuan was in a good mood and said, "It's sold, it's not enough, even the sesame seeds and tofu brains are four hundred in running water."

   Before, she could not imagine that the father and daughter could sell more than 400 yuan a day.

   Lu Dong was curious and asked, "How many bowls of tofu can you hold in a bucket?"

   Zhao Juanjuan thought about it carefully: "About 130 bowls."

  Other stall owners came one after another at this time, and the total size added up to more than ten stalls.

  For now, business is very good, there is no direct conflict in the things sold, and they can live in harmony.

   Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the van of the Joint Law Enforcement Brigade drove over, and Chao Dynasty led the people down. In addition to his three subordinates, there were also two people from the industry and commerce.

  The people who set up the stall were a little nervous, but they didn't panic. The car went back and forth, except to remind them to pay attention to hygiene, they never drove anyone.

   If you don’t push people, you will naturally not be too afraid.

  Lu Dong took out a cigarette from his bag, went over to say hello, and scattered the cigarettes next to him.

   Zhao Hu jokingly said, "Dongzi, have you been earning less these days?"

   Lu Dong said with a smile: "Isn't it still relying on a few big brothers to take care of it? Otherwise, I won't be able to set up this stall."

   There's nothing wrong with bragging about each other in business, at least it can bring the relationship closer, Ma Han said: "We can't bear the pain of you."

  Dynasty lit a cigarette, introduced the two people from the industrial and commercial entrance to Lu Dong, and lowered his voice: "Cooperation later."

  Lü Dong looked at the small square opposite, the lines were all drawn, the lights were in order, seven or eight large trash cans were placed, and there were faucets and distribution boxes every other section.

  If you want to use water and electricity, you can easily pull it to the booth.

   Even the northernmost public toilet has been repainted.

   A few days ago, he heard from the dynasty that when the leaders from above came to inspect, they focused on the issue of commercial facilities in the university town.

   There are tens of millions of demand below, but the leader can’t stand a word, and the temporary market will naturally enter the fast lane.

   "Stalls!" Zhang Long shouted loudly, "Come here and have a meeting."

  Including Qiao Weiguo, the others didn't understand what was going on, so they glanced over here, and when they saw Lu Dong passed by, they also walked over there.

More than a dozen people gathered near the van, Wang Chao coughed lightly, and said, "These days, you have set up street stalls here, considering your real life, and you have never chased anyone. But after all, this place isn't a market, it's a sidewalk. , you are essentially a Taoist business."

  Others couldn't figure out what the dynasty meant and thought they had to settle accounts.

In addition to his love of smoking, Chao Dynasty is generally very good. He said: "It's not easy to make a living. Everyone who runs on the front line knows it. Okay, I'm not lying. The superiors took into account the needs of the field and decided to set aside An area as a temporary market."

   He pointed across the road with a big finger: "The place is painted, from now on, you all move there."

  The people, including Lao Zhao, realized that the renovation of the line on the opposite side is not to improve the square facilities, but to serve as a temporary market.

Zhang Long took the initiative to answer: "Everyone, it's not a problem for us to occupy the road for a long time, and it does not conform to the national policy. Recently, there have been frequent reports. We understand that it is not easy for everyone to make a living, and they are all local folks, so we turn a blind eye. It has never been implemented according to the regulations.”

He has always been a little level in his speech: "We understand everyone, and everyone has to understand us, right? If we don't do well in our work, we can't explain to our superiors. When the time comes, our group of people will be withdrawn and a new group of people will come over. We're good to talk."

  Lü Dong saw that the timing was about right, and took the initiative to answer: "I'll move there."

  Qiao Weiguo followed Lv Dong's lead: "I'll move too."

  The two industrial and commercial personnel said: "You come and do a registration."

   Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo went to register, and one of the industrial and commercial personnel took them to the other side of the road to choose a place.

   First-come, first-selection, which was agreed with the dynasty early in the morning.

   Lu Dong didn't ask whether he was charged or not, and how much he was charged per month, because he knew very well that there were big leaders pushing and executive orders came down, and confrontation was the stupidest choice.

   To tell the truth, can you stand it?

   Among the remaining people, Lao Zhao and his daughter were the first to come, and knew that Lu Dong had a close relationship with the official.

   "Let's go too?" Zhao Juanjuan had observed these days and felt that it would be fine to follow Lu Dong.

  Old Zhao's face was full of turmoil. Although he also wanted to go, he was more concerned about another thing: "I don't know if I will accept the money."

  Others also have concerns in this regard.

The remaining businessman, who is experienced and understands these people's concerns, said: "The establishment of a temporary market is a policy that benefits the people. Everyone can move in with peace of mind, and there is no charge at this stage, but everyone needs to consciously maintain hygiene and put the garbage into the trash can before leaving every day.”

   This reassures a lot of people. The old man who sold the rice cakes asked, "Leader, do you want to collect money later?"

   The industrial and commercial staff said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will only charge a little management fee and sanitation fee, which will not be higher than when you go to the big fair."

   Lu Dong and Qiao Weiguo came back from the opposite side at this time, collecting things and moving the car.

   Zhao Juanjuan said in a low voice, "Dad, Lu Dong is a fine person, it's right to follow him!"

   Lao Zhao was somewhat relieved and said, "Leader, I'll go too!"

   For fear that someone else will rob it, he will not leave it to register.

   Lv Dong took the lead, Lao Zhao followed, and the others went over to register one after another.

   These people went back to pack their things, and only people from public units were left near the van.

   Dynasty was smoking a cigarette and asked, "Old Wei, you only charge a little money in the later period?"

  Lao Wei, an industrial and commercial worker, said: "Don't get people over first and finish the work. It's not my turn to worry about the next thing. Whoever takes over will be responsible."

   He just takes care of his business.

The    Dynasty has nothing to say, after all, there are such people everywhere in the units.

  Old Wei said: "I'll go over to allocate booths for them, do registration, you wait, I'll be the host at noon."

   Dynasty threw away the cigarette butt, put on another one, and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

  Ma Han thought of how Lv Dong helped him "fracture" last time, and said, "Head, we won't cheat Dongzi, right? This kid is a good guy..."

  Dynasty was older and more experienced in society. He said, "Where do you want to go, it's a good thing to have a market."

   He didn't say much, and said that these ignorant people didn't understand.

  The small square is Lu Dong's name. It is compared to the large squares in various cities, such as the one under construction in the city center in Quannan. In fact, the area is not small.

   runs north-south and is seventy or eighty meters long.

   Correspondingly, the temporary market is also oriented north-south. Since a considerable part of the area is covered by the fence of the construction site, two rows of stalls oriented north-south are temporarily drawn.

  The east side is close to the construction site fence, the west side is close to the green belt on the sidewalk, and a three-meter-wide aisle is drawn in the middle.

   Lu Dong chose the two closest to the intersection in the south. If you come from the east, south and west, you can see his booth immediately.

   These two booths are also large, each with more than 20 square meters, so even if you want to do something else, you can leave them open.

  Qiao Weiguo continued to sell daily necessities on the side near the green belt, and Lu Dong sold braised pork biscuits opposite him. This location is also convenient for queuing. From here, it is more than 30 meters away from Malu Yazi.

  Other people are not stupid, they can see why Lu Dong chose this place at a glance, I regret not coming here sooner.

   Lao Zhao is also thoughtful, and the tofu brain stall he chose is close to Lu Dong.

   Next to Qiao Weiguo are Jiao Shougui, who sells tapes, and Jiao Sanhei, who rents books.

  If you want to do it for a long time, the booth is registered with the industry and commerce, and you cannot change it at will.

   Lu Dong can see clearly, this is to prepare for the charges later.

Once the    is fixed, it is easy to collect money.

  The abacus of industry and commerce is also very precise.

   Lao Zhao packed up his things here, and his face full of frost was slightly uneasy: "There is a market, and there will be more people setting up stalls later. This business is not easy to do."

Lv Dong smiled and said, "It's not like that. The business can't be finished. The more things are sold in the market, the more people will be attracted. The more people there are, the more customers we will have. Think about it, the most expensive market in the county. , is it the one that sells the most stuff? The stall fees there are terrifyingly high, why do many people still break their heads and squeeze in?"

  Old Zhao was pondering, Zhao Juanjuan had already figured it out, and smiled like before: "Lu Dong, you should see things clearly."

   Hearing this, Lao Zhao glared at Zhao Juanjuan, but Zhao Juanjuan still laughed.

  Dynasty and industrial and commercial personnel came over and specifically emphasized that there is a temporary market, and if they illegally occupy the road outside the market, they will all be banned!

   This is no joke.

  Lu Dong knows that once this department is serious, it is really the natural enemy of street vendors.

  Because the moving place is only one step apart, and Lu Dong’s place is conspicuous, the business is hardly affected, and there will still be queues at meal time.

  The temporary market opened, and more vendors came to the university town. Within a few days of setting up the market stalls, there were more than 30 people, and there were also daily necessities.

   But as expected by Lu Dong, the gathering of vendors brought more people, whether college students or workers at nearby construction sites, more and more people like to use their spare time to come and visit.

   Especially for workers, there are no other facilities nearby, the construction site is very monotonous, and the temporary market is not a place where you can spend a lot of time.

   After leaving work in the afternoon, there are no less workers than students.

  This is a key area. Police patrol cars from the police station pass by from time to time. Yu Ming, the sturdy middle-aged policeman, is really serious and responsible. Every time a new vendor comes, he will carefully check his ID card.

   Lu Dong's business was not affected, the average daily turnover of the two booths added up to 1800.
