Chapter 874: persuade

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Li Haitang silently calculated the distance from Songhe Academy to the night market, and deeply admired their patience.

At this time, if you have to pass through the main city, you will definitely not be able to go back. In other words, in order to eat grilled shrimp worth 100 yuan, a few people tossed half of Kyoto, and the travel expenses and accommodation expenses far exceeded the price of grilled shrimp.

"Songhe Academy has a lot of people who are good at it. They are all nerds. If you have this time, you might as well read more books. They are not like us..."

A few people lamented that occasionally, when the first pot of grilled shrimp came out, the scholars who cared about their own image asked to eat the first batch, and almost did not scuffle.

"Each one of you, take one first, and enjoy your mouth."

The stall owner, a man in his early twenties, smiled and handed out the grilled shrimp.

"Zhao Lao Wu, go to Songhe Academy to set up a stall, you will definitely make money!"

The scholars did it in one go, peeled and ate the shrimp, some were the fastest ones, and wished they could eat them raw. While shouting, they swallowed them very resolutely, and then stared at the second wave with their eyes shining.

"Songhe Academy and my family are separated by more than half of the capital city. You also know the situation of my family. I can't live without people. Sooner or later, I have to cook medicine at home."

The charcoal fire was no longer strong, Zhao Laowu fanned the wind with a fan, and took another sip of water.

This is the situation at home, he can only wait for his mother to sleep every night before leaving the stall.

"We know this. You marry a wife and take care of your mother."

The scholars who can study in Songhe Academy are not short of money, and they don't understand the suffering of ordinary people at all.

Marrying a daughter-in-law requires a dowry. His family is not poor, but his mother is ill and sometimes needs someone to take care of her. Who would marry their daughter to such a family?

Zhao Laowu entrusted someone to talk about marriage. It has been two or three years, but there is no result.

He sells grilled shrimp at the night market, and the cost is also high.

The sea prawns are transported from the seaside by a salesman before dawn, and ice cubes are added to keep them fresh.

The cost of transportation, money for ice cubes, booth fees, and money for the charcoal fire, seasoning, and manual opening of the back, one-stop, all by himself.

From morning to night, except for half an hour of sleep at noon, there is almost no leisure.

You can't earn much from a bunch of seafood, and the accumulation of less is more. In case of a thunderstorm, the stall cannot be sold at night, and the shrimp will not be fresh the next day, and he will have to restock.

Fortunately, he has a way to make dried shrimps that are not fresh. They taste good, and they are sold in packets.

"That is to say, if a residence is provided for you and your family near Songhe Academy, would you like to work there?"

Li Haitang figured out that his shop must have a signboard. As barbecue is a best-selling product in later generations, there is no reason why no one cares about it in Daqi. After Li Haitang finished speaking, Zhao Laowu hadn't spoken yet, and the foodies were boiling. Everyone made a decision. After a month, the transportation and accommodation expenses would cost a few taels of silver. With this money, why didn't you give it to Zhao? Lao Wu rents a house near Songhe Academy

What about a yard?

Several people share it equally, and the money is negligible, and they can eat grilled shrimp without traveling a long distance!

"Ma'am, your idea is really brilliant!"

One of the scholars bowed to Li Haitang to express his gratitude.

Li Haitang: ...What does this mean? Did she say something?

"You don't get paid for nothing, and when you go to Songhe Academy, it's hot during the day, and passers-by just want to drink water, how can you eat this?"

Zhao Laowu shook his head. The stalls over there are definitely not as stable as the night market. The grilled shrimp business is best at night. If he is not too busy, he can still bake a lot of things.

"That's it..."

The scholar was obviously disappointed, and muttered, "Either way, how much do you earn in a month, we will pay you wages and provide you with a place to live. As long as we want to eat, you can bake it."

In order to eat, everyone spared no expense and tried every means to trick Zhao Laowu into moving.

"I, Mr. Zhao, accept your wish, but it won't work!"

Zhao Laowu sighed, this business is not so easy, the grilled shrimp has to be ordered with the shopkeeper, it is impossible to eat as soon as you want, and if it catches up with the cloudy and rainy day, you may not be able to eat it if you want.

Unless you have a freezer at home, store shrimp on ice.

"I have a proposal."

Li Haitang took a step forward, introduced his own shop, and promoted it to the scholars of Songhe Academy, "One of the dishes is grilled shrimp, all kinds of skewers, and it is only busy at noon and night every day."

There are a total of three large shops, all of which are two-story buildings. Under Ji Qiu's original wine shop, it can also be used as a warehouse.

There are more than 20 houses in the backyard. Except for the utility room and one or two warehouses, the rest can be used for living.

Living behind the shop, it is a bit popular, and can help watch the shop at night.

If Zhao Laowu went to work in the shop, he could take care of his mother nearby, as long as he didn't delay the business.

"You are the owner of the shop?"

Scholars have long heard from their classmates that sixty-six essays, you can eat whatever you want, it sounds unbelievable!

Such a small amount of money should be returned to the grilled shrimp, which is not too good!

If Mr. Zhao went, they would definitely visit them every day. Even if they were too lazy to go out, they would still find someone to deliver food. Well, I heard that the shop also provides food delivery service!

"Yes, in about ten days, the shop will open."

Li Haitang squinted her eyes and nodded, bragging about her own uniqueness.

Zhao Laowu saw that Li Haitang was good-looking and well-dressed, he didn't look like a liar, and the students of Songhe Academy proved that he was more at ease.

Li Haitang promised that as long as Zhao Laowu was willing to work in the shop, there would be someone who would do the buying of shrimp, opening the back, ingredients, etc., so that he would not be busy.

Having a place to live and taking care of my mother nearby, the key is that this can save a lot of time.

Zhao Laowu's heart was moved, he hesitated to speak, he was embarrassed to ask about his salary.

It stands to reason that the work is easy and shouldn't be too demanding, but his mother needs at least five taels of silver to drink medicine every month, and there are costs in doing business, and sometimes he loses a small amount of money, and the money he earns is in his hands. It was spent in a blink of an eye.

"In the first month, five taels of silver. If the performance is good, it will increase."

Li Haitang said that because the shop is a self-service model, the family can provide board and lodging completely, and the workers have special clothes, so there is almost no need to spend other money.

She figured it out, the barbecue job is smoky, and it is not a skilled job that can be done by just pulling one on the street.

Zhao Laowu has a lot of fans, and inviting people to the shop is equivalent to having a group of regular customers, which is a good deal.

The buffet includes some drinks, such as Baihua wine, etc., which still cost money.

In addition to the meal money, some money for drinks can also be credited every day. Door-to-door food delivery only requires a clerk to run errands, and the lunch box delivered is similar to a modern lunch box, with a few meat and vegetable dishes, plus fruits, etc., it is definitely not worth sixty-six yuan.
