Capítulo 1920: Chapter 1709: So Many People!
Driving a car full of friends who are unfamiliar with the area, Lun Chuan drove very slowly.
Old Zhao was making calls, reaching out to people, preparing this and that… Everything was ready, but there was still no sign of the car.
He wasn’t worried, anyway, he told the custors it would be at 10:30, and it was still early.
He glanced at the brand-new barbecue cart and various tools, instinctively looking for the two employees from his shop to help clean up, then realized this wasn’t the vegetable market.
He stared at the grill, feeling conflicted.
He thought back to the old days, getting up early to wholesale vegetables, setting up a stall in the market; those were not easy tis!
Especially selling vegetables, you couldn’t slack off. You had to be there every day. Letting old custors recognize your face increased the chances of making a sale.
But life’s been better for over half a year now. Besides urging his nephew to receive and unload goods, watching the employees organize the shelves, and sending ssages around, he spends most of his ti watching short dramas.
Now, having to clean and scrub again, he felt a bit unaccustod!
But then he thought of how much money he’d earned because of Song Tan!
That’s why they say money gives people courage, doesn’t it?
Looking at the brother next door at the plumbing store lounging on a chair scrolling through his phone, he approached and greeted:
“Hey brother, you know this area well. Can you help
find soone to do odd jobs? I need help with setting up for barbecue, cleaning and sanitizing the lot.”
So ticulous?!
The brother imdiately straightened up: “How much are you paying?”
“200!”
With money at hand, Old Zhao felt generous: “Help with washing, cutting, dumping dirty water, and throwing garbage. Finished off with cleaning the grill and such.”
Sounds like a lot of work, but it only takes a couple of hours. At this price, soone should be willing.
“Brother, if you have any relatives or friends willing to do it, that’s fine too.”
The owner of the seafood store imdiately perked up: “What do we need relatives for? When there’s money to be made—how about ?”
As he spoke, he skillfully grabbed a pair of gloves from the room:
“By the way, I’ll do it, but can you pay
in cash? Ah, my wife keeps a close eye, can’t hide anything on the phone…”
As for what the private stash of money was used for, one look at the ashtray on his desk gave a clue.
n are stubborn like that.
Old Zhao hesitated slightly: “You can really do it?”
The brother pointed at his own plumbing store: “Our family knew for generations, the god of wealth doesn’t walk through a dirty door! Tell , is this place clean? I cleaned it.”
Truly a skill passed down through generations.
Today, I got lucky to et such a capable brother!
Old Zhao agreed imdiately and then praised him. Sure enough, he started working, grabbing a scouring pad, steel wool, and a big iron brush.
He even set a pot on the large iron stove Old Zhao had brought, letting the water bubble and boil inside, tossing tal skewers in to cook—
Whether or not it was necessary is another matter, after all, it was an outdoor barbecue.
The main thing was the diligent attitude.
Old Zhao watched for a while, feeling satisfied.
This brother was so efficient, even if he didn’t run a plumbing store, he could surely attract plenty of custors doing housework in this small city.
The two of them chatted and laughed. Old Zhao, now detached from hands-on work, was full of emotional support.
The other guy didn’t mind at all, sweating through his clothes in the sumr heat, but full of spirit.
This wasn’t the main street of the barbecue market, the alley wasn’t wide, and not far away the lights were still on at [Dafang Hardware Store].
Song Dafang sat at the entrance, his eyes occasionally drifting over, feeling quite annoyed.
The boss across the street had such a loud voice, making hundreds easily in just a short ti besides cigarettes.
Although he wouldn’t do such a dirty job, he felt out of sorts watching others earn money so easily.
Over there, Old Zhao also lowered his voice for a bit of gossip: “The hardware store across, with the na so generous on the sign, but the person isn’t generous.”
The brother cleaning up also lowered his voice: “That’s not a generous na, it’s a good na given by his parents, his na’s actually Dafang.”
“As for his personality… brother, you’ve a good eye for people. He talks generously, but doesn’t act generously.”
Old Zhao thought, I know him not just from impressions: “Tell
more?”
n gossiping can sotis be just as entertaining, especially when they chirp at each other, even the work seems more fun.
