Chapter 43: The Autumn Wind Rises
I went to bed at three in the morning, and I woke up at half past five in the morning, half an hour later than usual. If I hadn't stayed up late, I would usually get up at five in the morning.
"You haven't slept all night?"
When I walked out of the room, I saw four students chatting in the living room. I was a little surprised. If I didn’t sleep, why did I come to my house?
"I was a little excited yesterday and couldn't sleep."
"Yes, yesterday was so exciting, just like the plot of the novel, I can't sleep."
Xuanxuan and another girl replied that when they were playing psychic games, they were very scared, really scared, but after the crisis, they felt very exciting, and felt like the plot of the novel. They didn't sleep all night and posted several WeChat Moments.
"Your heart is so big. Take a break and prepare to go back to class."
I shook my head, not understanding what they were thinking, and I was too lazy to care about it.
"Brother, today is Saturday, school holiday"
"Saturday, is that right? Sorry, I forgot"
I shook my head, I really didn’t remember it was Saturday, I didn’t go to school or work, and I set up my own stall, so who would remember if it was a weekend?
"Brother Xuanji, what are you going to do today? Will we play with you?"
Xuanxuan said, she thought it would be interesting to follow the people in front of her, this is an experience that she could not get in school.
"No, I'm going to exercise, I'm going to do morning class, I'm going to cook jelly"
I shook my head, I was so busy all day long, how could I play with them?
"Brother Xuanji, it's raining outside again. You can't set up a stall anymore. You have to rest."
"Is that true, forget it, you guys do whatever you want"
I shook my head. It was indeed raining outside again. Although it was not the same thunderstorm as last night, the rain was not small, so I would definitely not be able to go out for a run.
I didn't care about the four students and started doing morning classes. The four students surrounded me and stared at me, making me feel uncomfortable all over and gritted my teeth and persevered.
"Brother Xuanji, what are you doing?"
"Doing morning class"
"Morning class, I heard that the monk has morning class, just chanting scriptures."
"It means almost the same thing, not only them, okay, after the morning class is finished, do you want to have breakfast?"
I shook my head. Morning class and evening class are practice. Reciting scriptures is just one of them. I don’t want to explain so much, and I’m wasting my mouth. Anyway, they definitely don’t know what’s going on.
"Eat, can we have a sleep after eating? I'm a little sleepy?"
"Ask, you guys, I'll do it"
I nodded, and didn't sleep at night or during the day. I really don't understand what these people think.
I washed the rice and put it in the pot, looked at the refrigerator, and there were some sour beans, took it out and fryed it, and fried it with another vegetable and a few eggs. After thinking about it, I took out another five eggs to make boiled eggs, which took an hour from beginning to end.
"Wow, Brother Xuanji, you have a good cooking skills and delicious"
"If you eat so many eggs, will you have too much cholesterol?"
"Train more often, two eggs are nothing, eat them."
I shook my head, I don’t understand cholesterol. Didn’t eggs say they are nutritious? Why do I feel that I understand differently from them?
After dinner, the two girls offered to wash dishes, which saved me the trouble. I sent me a message, and Xu Lin also told me that the rain was still falling today, so I guess I couldn't leave the stall anymore, so I asked me to take a day off.
Then let's take a break. I didn't go to make jelly, but took out books to read. I don't have many books here, half of which were brought from Dulong Mountain, including scriptures, Feng Shui Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, etc., and I read more than a dozen books countless times, but I find it very interesting every time I read it.
The four students went to bed after dinner, and they were finally sleepy. Two girls and two boys and one sleepless. They slept until noon. I went out to buy some vegetables. When they woke up, I had already prepared it.
"I just received a call from the hospital. We can get the money we have escorted back. No blackmail has happened. There are still many good people in this society. After dinner, we go back to our house."
During the meal, I told four students that I was not interested in being their nanny and that I still had my own business.
They were embarrassed to stay there, so they washed the dishes and chopsticks after dinner, followed me to the hospital. In the hospital, we met the clerk and the owner of the burger and milk tea shop, a young woman.
The store was invested by the boss. The boss was not here normally, and four employees took turns to work. There were two people at night, but the weather was extreme last night. One of them went back to close the windows and collect clothes, and then was blocked by heavy rain at home.
The boss knew about the clerk's strange behavior and was very scared. He asked me what to do. I didn't know how to explain it. I was afraid that I would scare her when I told her the truth, so he told her that nothing was wrong. Just ask the clerk to exercise more and bask in the sun in the future. This kind of thing was just an accident and would definitely not happen often.
After taking the money I paid, I sent a few students back to their school, not far away, and was in the same area. Then I went to find Xu Lin to deal with the remaining jelly and seasonings last night.
These things can definitely be used, but they will affect the taste, so I simply threw them away. After all, I didn’t make any money last night, but I also lost more than a dozen yuan.
"Xuanji, come out, I have something to tell you."
After the processing, Xu Lin called me to a beverage store and said that there was something to tell me.
"What's the matter? Tell me, Xu Lin"
"My secret, I'm sorry for you in some things."
Xu Lin hesitated for a moment and apologized to me hesitate. I was a little dumbfounded. What's going on? Xu Lin is sorry for me for anything.
"Xu Lin, just make some good or not, what's going on?"
"That's right, I've actually cheated you about setting up a stall and selling jelly."
"Uh, I didn't understand"
I looked shocked. Xu Lin helped me a lot about setting up a stall, so why did he cheat me?
"After this rain, the weather in Yangcheng will turn colder, and jelly may not be easy to sell in the future..."
Xu Lin told me the truth that jelly is only easy to sell in summer, and even his fellow villager does not sell this in winter. When Xu Lin fooled me to sell jelly, he actually didn't have any kindness.
First of all, he learned his skills and created cart advertising. He made it to friends and fellow villagers he knew. Although he didn't charge too much money, he was also selling favors.
Secondly, the jelly is placed together with his braised ingredients stall, which has some promotion effect on his business. The key is that summer is over and jelly cannot be sold for long. Just the jelly I sell these days cannot recover the cost and will lose money. From the beginning, he has been cheating people.
"Then what are you telling me to do now?"
"Because you are a good person, Xuanji, I am not a good person, but I don't want to be a bad person. What happened last night touched me a lot."
Xu Lin replied that what happened last night had a lot to him. According to his personality or the personality of most people, he would definitely not meddle in other people's business. At most, call the police and call an ambulance, but I didn't.
This made Xu Lin very uncomfortable. He didn't fall asleep all night last night. He struggled in society for many years, never did anything good or bad. This matter seemed to him very bad.
Because he knew that I was very poor, had no parents, and my master died, which was like an orphan. He was still cheated, and he felt sorry for it.
"I thought why? These are all small things. And I am not an orphan. My master is gone, and I still have a senior brother."
I smiled and didn't care. I was sent to Dulong Mountain by my parents. As for where they were, I don't know and don't want to ask, but I am very satisfied mentally. I don't think I am an orphan, nor do I feel cheated by Xu Lin.
I have gained a lot in the past half month after setting up a stall. This kind of life experience cannot be experienced by Dulong Mountain. From the perspective of cultivation, I am entering the world and experiencing the world, so I don’t think I am being cheated. If I simply make money, I don’t have to worry about it.
"Xuanji, aren't you angry?"
"What's so angry about? Don't take it seriously, we are still good brothers."
"Okay, we are still good brothers, Xuanji, the weather will quickly turn cold next time, and the jelly business will definitely be affected. I think you should change another product to sell it."
Xu Lin replied that this time he made sincere advice and would never cheat others anymore.
"What do you think is better to sell in winter?"
"Clothes, shoes, girls' bags, especially those miscellaneous bags. There are schools near the night market. Not every girl is very rich, and it is easy to sell for dozens of dollars each."
"Forget this, I have to keep the goods in check, and I don't understand either."
I shook my head. I didn’t have much money on me anymore and couldn’t bear to put up the goods. Moreover, I didn’t understand the channels here, the water was too deep.
"Then let's get a skewer, I eat a lot of this in winter."
"Not even, I can't smell that."
I still shook my head. The skewers require too many spices. The food I eat is always light, and people who practice practice do not eat spicy foods. But how can a skewers become a skewers without these things? So I still can't make it.
"Then you can eat pancakes, hand-grabbed cakes, and the meat buns in the night market. If you really can't do it, you can make cold skins and other products."
According to his own experience, Xu Lin suggested that the most popular thing in the entire night market is definitely catering, which is the easiest thing to sell.
"It's all too troublesome. Xu Lin, it's not that I'm lazy, but that I have a lot of things. Setting up a stall is just an experience of life for me, not a way to make a fortune."
"Swish, experience life, brother, if you don't know, you think you are a rich second generation."
Xu Lin smiled and said, "This statement is so funny, but he didn't object. He also knew that I was really busy, although I didn't know what I was busy with."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this now. Let's observe carefully to see what's suitable for me."
I shook my head. These things are really not very important to me. There is no need to think about them. Sell the jelly first. Then go to see what stalls there are in other night markets that are not sold here. After a look, I think it is not difficult to find a suitable one for me.
Seeing that I said this, Xu Lin stopped talking about this and changed the subject. He originally wanted to have dinner with Xu Lin and the others in the evening, but Gu Nian sent me a message asking me to find her. When I was on a business trip, I remembered that I still had a job as a consultant, and I would definitely not starve to death.
