Chapter 408: A Young Man Who Can Bend and Stretch

hi, account: Popular: Night:

Because Li Ye was going to hold a shareholders' meeting today, Li Yue didn't come back, so naturally, there was no one to cook.

So after everyone held a meeting for half a day, cheered for half a day, and drank half a stomach of tea, they all felt hungry.

"Let's go! Let's go out and find something to eat."

After a few people went out and got into the car, they pondered where to eat.

Li Ye said, "Let's go to Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er. It's this late, don't go to the state-run restaurant and make the waiters unhappy."

"Hey, Xiao Ye, since you mentioned this, I think the first ones to be squeezed out by private restaurants in the future will be these kinds of restaurants. Who wants to eat a stomach full of anger while eating?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Indeed, but you can't blame the waiters for having a bad temper entirely. If you want people to work overtime at night, there must be benefits!"

The restaurant waiters of today absolutely cannot imagine that in a few decades, the cooks on the snack street will be able to stay up until three in the morning for a table of guests without getting angry.

Look at Chen Jinhua, working from morning to night, treating every guest with a smile. The small noodle restaurant is booming. In just over a year, it has expanded from one small shop to three.

Why? Because the money earned is her own!

However, when Jin Peng's car stopped at the entrance of Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er outside Dongzhimen, Chen Jinhua was getting angry at someone.

"You said the day before yesterday, the day before that, and many days ago that you would only set up a stall at my door for one day. I saw that you were young and it wasn't easy for you, but why are you blocking my door again today? We are both selling noodles and food. If you block my door, how can I do business?"

"I'll sell today and leave. Otherwise, my soybean paste will go bad. My family doesn't have a refrigerator like yours. Besides, I'm twenty meters away from your restaurant, I'm not blocking your door..."

"My family's refrigerator was bought with borrowed money. Even if you are twenty meters away, you are cutting off my business. How can I pay back the debt..."

Li Ye, Jin Peng, and the others got out of the car and saw a stall set up at the entrance of Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er, with the words "Soybean Paste Noodles" written in large brush characters.

The stall was not big, with only four small tables, but it was very hygienic. The stall owner wore a hat and mask, absolutely not letting hair or saliva mix into the food.

And there were already six customers sitting at the stall, watching Chen Jinhua arguing with the young stall owner with a smile.

Chen Jinhua was obviously angry, her face red and her neck thick, scolding endlessly. It felt like if her temper got any higher, she would start cursing with dirty words about female elders.

But the young stall owner only had one sentence back and forth: "I've already set up the stall today, I'll change places tomorrow. I'm twenty meters away from your restaurant, I can't block your door."

But just this one sentence of a "skin-thick" person made Chen Jinhua furious but helpless.

"That stall owner is not authentic. Although he says he is twenty meters away from the door of Chen Jinhua's restaurant, it is precisely this twenty meters that is cunning and tricky."

"If he really blocked the front door of Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er, those old customers would feel embarrassed not to go into Chen Jinhua's shop to eat."

Hao Jian came from a background of small business. At a glance, he exposed the truth. This stall outside was here to sponge off the traffic of Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er.

Those old customers came to Chen Jinhua's place to eat, and when they saw a soybean paste noodle stall outside, some wanted to change their taste.

If the stall was blocked at the front door of Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er, those old customers would feel embarrassed to eat the soybean paste noodles outside because they were familiar with Chen Jinhua.

Li Ye looked at the young stall owner and always felt he looked familiar, but the other party's hat brim was very low and the mask was very large, so he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

However, his behavior really made Li Ye not know what to say.

In his previous life, Li Ye once brushed a video of a certain "inspirational girl."

That was a very young girl who had no job when she first arrived in the capital. She found that selling balloons was very profitable, so she invested the only thousand yuan she had into it.

But she had no experience in selling things and didn't know where it was suitable to sell, so she couldn't sell many in a day.

So she thought of a way: follow an old man who had been selling for many years. Wherever the old man went, she went; whatever the old man shouted, she shouted. Anyway, you are on that side of the road, and I am on this side of the road. Let's eat based on our own abilities. How much I sell has nothing to do with you...

Later, the girl very inspirationally said that this was her first pot of gold and also her precious life experience, which is that if you have no experience, go learn from others' experience.

Well, this word "learn" is used really well.

I wonder what the old man who had his business snatched felt in his heart?

Maybe he had an old wife at home, waiting for him to send money home to pay for his grandson's tutoring fees and buy delicious snacks.

But his sales experience was gratuitously "learned" by the little girl across the road.

For this kind of thing, it depends on whose standpoint you stand on. If you stand on the standpoint of a young person, you can claim that you are very smart and can smell business opportunities in a complex and difficult environment.

And if you stand on the standpoint of the old man, it is estimated that it is "not following martial ethics."

Jin Peng and the others, of course, stood on Chen Jinhua's standpoint.

"I really didn't know about this. Old Song used to help Aunt Chen. I don't know where Old Song went these days. Damn it, he actually let people bully our fellow villagers? Damn."

Jin Peng rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the young man's stall, and Li Dayong, Wang Jianqiang, Li Ye, and Hao Jian also followed closely.

They had a friendship with Jiang Xiaoyan when they were at the Second Grain Store. Li Dayong was a classmate studying together, and Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang had to send meat and vegetables to Jiang Xiaoyan every few days because Jiang Xiaoyan was responsible for cooking for the classmates at that time.

Now that Jiang Xiaoyan's mother was being bullied, could they endure it?

However, just as Li Ye and the others walked up and were about to stage a classic scene of a "Young and Dangerous" table-flipping, Jiang Xiaoyan's mother, Chen Jinhua, turned her head and saw them.

"Eh, eh, why did you come over? Don't be busy, don't be busy. I'm just saying a few words to him. He'll leave tomorrow. Go, go, go, go to my noodle restaurant..."

Chen Jinhua pulled and dragged with great effort before she pulled Jin Peng and the others back into her noodle restaurant.

After entering the noodle restaurant, Li Ye saw Chen Jinhua's husband, Jiang Yougui.

Jiang Yougui was sitting at the kitchen door with a worried face. Seeing Li Ye and the others coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted them with a smile.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Uncle, we haven't eaten yet! Make us a few bowls of noodles."

Jiang Yougui hurriedly said, "Eh, eh, I'll make them right away, ten minutes at most..."

Jin Peng looked at Jiang Yougui, who had entered the kitchen, and couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain.

In his view, people had set up a stall at the door of the shop, and this man didn't touch a kitchen knife to reason with them, but let the old woman go and grind her teeth, which was really a coward.

Chen Jinhua brought a few cold dishes over and whispered, "When that stall was set up on the first day, Xiao Yan's father went over and fought with them, smashing their pots and pans. Then the people from the police station came, and we paid eighty yuan..."

Jin Peng was stunned and said angrily, "Why pay him money? This is bullying people to what extent?"

Chen Jinhua whispered, "That kid is from the capital. Relatives dragging relatives, he has some connections. And the most important thing is that he doesn't fight back. He squats on the ground like a coward."

"Xiao Yan's father didn't want to hit him, so he smashed his stall. As a result, this is called damaging their property..."

"Good fellow, this is a Han Xin who can bend and stretch!"

"Hahahahaha."

Hao Jian couldn't help but complain, which made everyone laugh.

However, after the big laugh, the matter must be resolved.

Jin Peng took it all on himself and said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll find a few friends tomorrow. I won't make things difficult for him, just drive him away."

Jin Peng's personality was very broad, and he was very good at making friends. He could find some connections in the nearby police station.

However, Chen Jinhua said, "No need, no need. Xiao Yan said that we can't use power to suppress people in this matter. We will compete with him."

Jin Peng asked in confusion, "Compete? How to compete?"

Chen Jinhua said embarrassedly, "Xiao Yan said that since he set up the stall at our door, we will set up a stall opposite him."

"But I think... this is killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. So I just wanted to reason with him and let him leave by himself. But looking at it now, it's really hard to handle."

A few minutes later, Jiang Yougui awkwardly served the noodles to everyone.

Li Ye took a look and found that it was also soybean paste noodles. He tasted it, and it was actually quite good.

It seems that they are really prepared to compete, because Chen's Noodle Uncle Uncle Guan Er's signature used to be braised dishes and lamb soup noodles.

Just after Li Ye and the others finished eating, several tricycles stopped at the door.

Li Ye and the others leaned over to see that it was Jiang Xiaoyan, sweating profusely, pedaling a tricycle, and bringing a few tricycle drivers, pulling several carts of things over.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, you have so many things, why didn't you find your Brother Peng to dispatch a car? What's the matter, now that you've become a little boss, you're being distant with your brothers?"

Hearing Li Ye's words, Jiang Xiaoyan said embarrassedly, "A little thing, I thought I wouldn't let you see a joke, but you found out anyway."

"What joke is this?" Li Ye said with a smile, "Just tell us how to set it up! We'll do a short-term job for you today, and the wages will be covered by the noodle money!"

"Hahaha."

Jiang Xiaoyan smiled and was no longer embarrassed. Instead, she worked with Li Ye and the others to unload the things on the tricycle directly next to the stall, less than three meters apart.

This was a newly made stall, clean, beautiful, and with several sun umbrellas.

The most important thing was a colorful signboard.

One bowl for four cents, free soup refills, three bowls get a small dish for free.

Jiang Yougui held back his anger, brought over a dozen kinds of braised small dishes from the shop in a large food box, and placed them on his own new stall.

This immediately compared the young man's stall, because he only had soybean paste noodles and no braised small dishes.

Three bowls get a small dish for free. As long as those three guests communicate a little, wouldn't they have small dishes to match the taste?

And if you want to make so many small dishes, if you can't sell them, losing money is inevitable.

Small business is most afraid of losing money. If you lose money for a few days, you won't be able to turn around.

So before Jiang Xiaoyan's stall was set up, the young man wearing a mask began to pack up the stall.

Jiang Yougui was very angry: "Aren't you going to set it up for a few more days? Then our new stall, wasn't it made in vain?"

Jiang Xiaoyan said, "Dad, this stall wasn't made in vain. If he leaves today, maybe someone else will come the day after tomorrow? Besides, the other two storefronts may not necessarily encounter this kind of thing."

"Besides, we can also set this up at the night market. At worst, we can hire two more people."

"My daughter is still smart. This university wasn't attended in vain."

And when Jiang Yougui said this, the young man who was packing up the stall obviously stiffened.

Li Ye's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered who he was.

Lu Gang, the Peking University student who was expelled last summer.

Watching Lu Gang pack his things onto a flatbed cart and pull them away silently, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.

Even if you are a smart person, once you take a wrong step, it is very difficult to turn over.

However, for Li Ye, Lu Gang was just like that.

He turned to Hao Jian and said, "What did you see from Xiao Yan's matter?"

Hao Jian shook his head blankly, indicating "Boss, what is this again?"

Li Ye said, "After you go back, create a new brand, specifically for price wars. Whoever sets up a stall in front of you, just like Xiao Yan just now, beat them to death."
