Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Rent
Lu Huai’an walked around the county town with the bill in his hand.
It is said that it is a county seat, but the scope is larger.
There are not many shops and few people buy things.
Lu Huai’an looked around and felt that the restaurant didn’t have much to do.
Fewer people.
He didn’t do business, and he didn’t know much about national affairs.
He didn’t read many books and didn’t have any skills. If he really wanted to say, farming was his greatest skill.
Lu Huai’an sifted through all the things he could do in his mind, and finally decided to make some food first.
Now there are few snacks and so on, and it is not easy for self-employed people to run a small business.
Fried flower chips, cat ears or something, small things, low cost, easy to sell.
Make a little money and take a step by step.
After making up his mind, he started looking for a place.
There are two schools nearby, an elementary school and a junior high school, and a nursery in front.
Except for one restaurant and one pastry, there are no competitors, he thinks it can be done.
The facade is definitely not going to be rented, there is no money.
Looking around, he took a fancy to a house facing the street.
The door was open, and someone was drinking tea and chatting inside.
Lu Huaian turned around and went to the supply and marketing agency, where he spent a penny to buy a box of matches.
When the old man finished drinking tea and smoking, he leaned over with a natural expression: “Come on, brother.”
The old man gave him a surprised look, but he stretched his neck and caught fire.
When the cigarette was lit, he narrowed his eyes and looked at it: “Look, you just came out of school, student?”
“No, my brother is studying here. He is young and his family is worried. I will send him here.” Lu Huai’an smiled honestly, rubbing his hands as if he was not used to dealing with people.
Hearing that he was a member of the student’s family, the old man suddenly became less wary.
“It’s good to read.” He took a cigarette, shook his head and sighed: “Better than us old fellows who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, the times have changed!”
After a long time, I remembered bitterly and thoughtfully. When I mentioned that the bark was cut and the grass roots were dug up, many people immediately agreed.
Lu Huai’an listened quietly, and when they started talking, they added some tea.
As soon as we chatted, we directly chatted all morning.
At noon, when everyone was gone and everyone was ready to go back to eat, the old man remembered Lu Huai’an.
“Hey? Brother, where do you eat at noon?”
“Oh me, where’s the cafeteria.” Lu Huai’an also got up, frowning slightly: “It’s just…”
Seeing his embarrassment, the old man smiled heartily: “Why, the cafeteria doesn’t give you food?”
Lu Huai’an also laughed and shook his head quickly: “Of course not, it’s just my brother, who is stubborn, the family was afraid that he would not be used to it, so I thought about finding a place for him, cooking for him, and saving money. Stomach is not.”
“That’s good to dare.”
Speaking of this child being a picky eater, everyone has a lot of hardships.
“The first conditions at home are like this, so it’s impossible to eat meat every day.”
Lu Huai’an also said yes, after a lot of slaughter, and finally turned back to the subject: “I can cook, but I don’t have a place, old man, do you know where there is room for rent here?”
“rent?”
The old man looked at him and knocked on the **** of the old cigarette: “Are you renting alone?”
“No.” Lu Huai’an shook his head generously: “For the New Year, I have to bring my daughter-in-law over. She cooks, and I go out to find a job.”
There are students in the family, they are married, and they are honest and reliable.
The important thing is that he can cook and go out to find work, so he is not a second-rate.
As soon as the words were spoken, the rest of the matter came naturally.
The house really belonged to the old man, but in the afternoon, he became Lu Huaian’s landlord.
I rented a house on the second floor, but the landlord said that he didn’t live here, and only came over to chat with the old guys occasionally. No one rented the first floor for the time being, but he could use it if he wanted it. .
This was a pleasant surprise. Lu Huaian was very happy and wanted to rent for a year.
The landlord can also handle errands, and specially called someone over to be a guarantor.
As a result, the rent was stuck.
The rent is not expensive, five yuan a year, which is very affordable.
However, Lu Huaian doesn’t have that much money now.
Lu Huai’an thought about it for a while, then smiled: “I didn’t bring so much money out, I put it all with my daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I’ll pay a three-month deposit first, and when my daughter-in-law comes, I’ll put the rest. a complement.”
When it comes to wife tube inflammation, they are all people who have come here.
The landlord laughed along, since he dared to sign that the deposit would not be refunded once the contract was broken, he did not object.
So when he returned to the dormitory, Lu Huai’an spent all the money he earned in the morning.
Seeing him coming back, Zhou Lecheng was very surprised: “Brother Lu, I heard that there are people selling chestnuts at the door today! Would you like to go and sell them too? If your chestnuts are broken, they will be broken.”
Lu Huaian immediately smiled and shook his head: “That’s me, look, I left a little for you, but it’s cold, why don’t you go to the cafeteria to warm up?”
“Wow, and mine.” Zhou Lecheng hesitated for a few seconds. After all, he had been smoked in the classroom for a day. The greedy worm couldn’t hold back: “Thank you, Brother Lu!”
“You’re welcome.”
Lu Huaian put the contract properly before picking up his clothes: “I’m going to take a shower.”
“it is good.”
After a busy day, I was really exhausted.
Lu Huai’an didn’t even eat dinner, and fell asleep after taking a shower.
But with something in his mind, he woke up before dawn the next day, and before the cafeteria man came.
make money! Pay the rent!
As soon as he turned over, he took a knife after washing and cut a cross of chestnuts out.
This is to prevent the chestnuts from blowing up when they burst.
When he got everything ready, the cafeteria guy finally arrived late.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, there are so many things in the morning.”
Lu Huai’an naturally wouldn’t blame him, he just shook his head: “It’s all right, I just got up.”
Handing the car to him, the old man took out two buns: “You didn’t eat last night, didn’t you? I didn’t look at you in the cafeteria, it just happened that the buns just came out of the pot, so UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com gave you two.”
This was really timely. Lu Huai’an was so hungry that he was not polite to him.
After eating the buns, the chestnuts can also be turned over.
Probably because there weren’t too many people who bought it yesterday. Many people were smoked for a day, and the greedy worms couldn’t stand it, so some people came up early in the morning.
There is no need to ask how much it is, whether to sell it or not, you already know it anyway.
Lu Huai’an kept his head down and busy, he didn’t even have time to drink water.
A few nearby people couldn’t help but come over to take a look, their faces full of admiration.
There are also good people who came to ask, how much this stall earns a day and whether it needs rent.
After a few perfunctory remarks, he sent people away, but in the end, those people just walked away and pointed to this side.
Lu Huai’an was secretly glad that he had made a plan earlier and brought all the chestnuts over today.
Unlike yesterday, he didn’t sell all of them today.
When there was a pinch left, he closed the stall.
“Boss, why don’t you sell it?”
“Yes, I’m still thinking of buying some to take home in the afternoon!”
Lu Huai’an smiled and shook his head: “I’m sorry, I didn’t make a special trip to sell chestnuts. I originally wanted to give these chestnuts to my relatives, but…”
Halfway through the speech, many people showed contemplative expressions.
“This is also because I thought it was hard to beat, and I couldn’t bear to waste it, so I thought about trying it with everyone. What do you think, is it delicious?”
The students were all excited: “Delicious!”
“Hey, it’s good to eat.” Lu Huai’an shoveled out a small handful, spread the rest evenly, and gave it to the villagers who joined in the fun: “Come on, you’re welcome, everyone can taste it, this is from the mountains, and it’s usually not easy. See.”
Everyone didn’t answer and looked at each other: “This…”
