The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 170, Master Zhou's ambition

"Ah Xing, you haven't said anything, is there something wrong with you asking us out today?" Peng Long didn't have any doubts about what Zhou Xing said, he felt that Zhou Xing didn't need to lie to them.

He knew that there was something wrong with Zhou Xing. He had a strong sense of territory since he was a child, and he didn't like others to go to his territory.When he was a child, he went to Zhou's house to play, but Zhou Xing never took him into his own room to play.

Zhou Xing asked them to come out today, Peng Long guessed that there might be something wrong, otherwise this person would not ask them out for no reason, so he asked: "Did your little stepmother mess up again?"

Zhang Lei also looked at Zhou Xing with suspicion in his eyes, thinking that there is something wrong with this good brother who has been hiding from others recently, and specially asked them out today.

"It's not her." That woman wasn't worthy of him making an appointment with his brothers, so Zhou Xing revealed the purpose of finding these two people today, and asked, "Do you have any way to make money? We have nothing to do, let's find some work to pass the time and earn some pocket money by the way."

Zhang Lei suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked a little uncertainly: "Are you asking us how to make money? Want to earn pocket money?"

"Ah Xing, are you short of money? Or your family doesn't give you pocket money, tell us how much you want, I don't have much money on hand, I still have tens of thousands of dollars, if you want to use it, I will give it to you For the time being."

Is this still the young master Zhou they know who treats money like dung?In the past, for the money they won from playing cars, this young master would invite them to go out to eat, drink and have fun, and he would be responsible for how much they spent. He had never heard him say that he was short of money.

"Yes, Ah Xing, if you are in a hurry to use the money, just tell us. If I don't have it, my brother also has it. If you want to use the money, just tell me." Peng Long is also the master who is never short of money. Well, his family dotes on him, and his elder brother dotes on him even more. If he has no money, he can ask his elder brother for it, and he can still have ten thousand yuan.

"It's not for this reason." Seeing that the two men looked at him suspiciously, Zhou Xing stretched out his hand and squeezed the space between his brows, and said, "I just want to find something to do. Tell me, is there any way to make money? Discuss it together, and if it works, the three of us will do it together."

He felt that working alone was not as good as the three of them working together, so that he could earn money and have someone to help with the work, which was more cost-effective than working hard by himself.

"Oh, that's it." Zhang Lei saw that Zhou Xing didn't look like he was short of money, so maybe he was really bored and wanted to find something to do.

They are all on winter vacation now, and they play outside all day long. It’s okay to play for ten days and a half months. It’s not interesting to drink or party every day. They seem to find something to do, which can not only pass the time, but also earn some pocket money. Money seems to be good too?

"There must be ways to make money, but I have a way here."

Thinking of ways to make money, Zhang Lei really thought of one. He waved to his two friends, and when the three of them approached, he lowered his voice and said, "Last time I heard from my uncle that there was a deal... "

"This won't work." Before Zhang Lei finished speaking, Zhou Xing vetoed it in one gulp. He still remembered that he had promised their old man not to do bad things. Although smuggling made money, it would be troublesome if he was caught. Get yourself into such a big trouble.

He wanted to earn some pocket money, but he didn't want to risk getting into the game and drinking tea to make it.

"Is there any formal channel to buy goods?" Zhou Xing remembered that Zhang's family has been in the field of electrical appliances in recent years, so there must be a channel for buying goods in his hand. It doesn't matter if he earns more or less. He can find a way to make money.

"Yes, I have to go home and ask my family about it." Zhang Lei usually doesn't care much about the family's business, but occasionally hears a sentence from his family. He probably has a little impression of the family's affairs.

But for the specifics, he had to go back and ask to find out.

"Okay, then you go back and ask first, and then call me when you're done." Zhou Xing raised his hand and glanced at his watch, seeing that the time was almost there, and he was going to pick up his wife and go home. "You should call me for my phone number." Remember, call me if you need something.

All right, I'm done with my meal today, so I'm leaving. "

"Hey, you're leaving so soon? We haven't finished our meal yet." Before Zhang Lei could react, Zhou Xing had gotten up and walked to the door.

Zhou Xing waved to the two little friends behind him, and said, "Don't eat, I have something else to do. Contact me later."

"Xiaolong, look at him, what are you going to do in such a hurry?" Zhang Lei watched Zhou Xing's figure disappear at the door, and turned to Peng Long and said.

Peng Long didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Xing's leaving back, with a bit of thought and doubt in his eyes, always felt that their little friends who played together since they were young had changed too much in the past six months.

***

The store was sold out, and the aunt I invited washed the returned dishes, helped wipe the tables and chairs in the store and cleaned the floor, and then went home to cook.

Hearing the familiar buzzing sound outside, Qiao Minglang was dismantling the last table when he heard the sound of a car approaching from a distance, and finally the car stopped beside him.

Zhou Xing pinched the brake with one hand, stopped the car, got off the car, took off the helmet and hung it on the front of the car, reached out to fiddle with the flattened hair, walked over to the boy, "I'll help you." Easily dismantle the table and take it to the store to store.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Qiao Minglang took the two long benches inside, looked at the person who was helping him with things, and asked.

"I came back with nothing to do. Didn't I say I'd come back to pick you up?" Turning around, he saw the young man behind him, only half a year younger, and he found that the young man seemed to have grown a little taller.

Zhou Xing gestured on the boy's head with his hands. Before, the boy's height seemed to be at the same level as his shoulders, but now it was past his shoulders. He was a little surprised by this little discovery and asked: "Have you recently Have you grown a little taller?"

"Maybe." Qiao Minglang didn't have much feeling about whether he grew taller or not, but at his age, it was time for him to grow taller, so it's not surprising that he would grow taller.

"Are we closed now? Do you still want to go to your cousin's place?" Zhou Xing asked.

"Go, I'll cook, and I'll take it to my cousin and the others to eat." There were several boxes of food on the table, and Qiao Minglang was thinking that Zhou Xing would never come back, so he sent the food to his cousin first. A few, to save them from waiting for a long time to be hungry.Unexpectedly, when this person said it, he really rushed back at this point.

"Oh, then let's take it." Zhou Xing helped lift it up, and walked out to the door, "Let's go."

Qiao Minglang went out after him, closed the door of the shop, locked it, and took the bag from Zhou Xing's hand.Zhou Xing drove out, waited for the boy to get into the car, and asked, "What shall we have for dinner?"

"I stir-fry some extra vegetables, take one home and heat it up and eat." They come to the store every day, and when Qiao Minglang prepares dinner every day, he will stir-fry more vegetables and cook more rice. Just stay here and eat and then go back.

It's just that Zhou Xing left for business today, and he didn't know when he would come back, so Qiao Minglang put their two dishes together in a box, thinking that he would take it home and heat it up and eat it later.

"Oh, the crabs that were steamed last time were good. We'll go and have a look later. If there are any, let's buy a few and go back and steam them." Zhou Xing was still thinking about the crabs they ate a few days ago, and he still thinks about them now. Eat crabs.

It's just that they've been busy in the store during this period of time, and they haven't gone back home to open a fire. Zhou Xing still likes cooking at home.

Qiao Minglang smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back, if there are any more."

"That's great." Zhou Xing didn't dare to drive too fast at the vegetable market.

The car made a full circle and arrived at the new store in a few minutes.

They just finished painting the walls today. This time, Qiao Mingshan plans to decorate the new store to look better. He plans to buy wood to make new ones for the tables and chairs in the store. This is cheaper than buying seats outside, but it only costs Just a little thought here.

Their new store is on the side of the road, and there are many people coming and going. He thinks their new store should be decorated better to attract more people to eat in the store.

"Minglang, you're here. Have you eaten yet?" Seeing his cousin and Zhou Xing bringing the food, Qiao Mingshan took off his gloves, took the meal brought by his cousin, and called the other two younger brothers to come over for dinner.

Qiao Mingyong and Qiao Mingzhong came over and said hello to their cousin and Zhou Xing.

"There's more here, let's go back and eat." Qiao Minglang saw that the shop changed every day, and asked, "How long will it take to get it done here?"

"It will take another two or three days. I have worked overtime in the past two nights to make it late, so it should be soon." Qiao Mingshan said.

"Oh." Qiao Minglang nodded, and asked if he wanted to inform the other two cousins ​​that they were coming, so that they would have to rent another room for them to live in.

"This is necessary. Let Xiaoyong or Ah Zhong go back and pick them up." The two brothers said a few words, and Qiao Mingshan asked the little cousin to go back to eat first. "We will talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

"Okay, cousin, you eat first, and A Xing and I will leave first." Qiao Minglang said to several cousins, and left with Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing put the helmet on for the young man, and then he put on the helmet himself. The two of them got into the car and drove back to the place where he lived.

On the way, they went to the supermarket where they bought crabs last time. They went a little late. The crabs in the supermarket had already been sold out today, and there were only a few fish left in the pond.

There was nothing to choose, so the two picked a dace, bought some daily necessities, and went home together.
