Chapter 1921: Chapter 1709: So Many People! (2)
The old brother also laughed.
"We’ve been running the shop here for decades. He was okay before, but his wife at ho just loved taking advantage. The key is that after taking advantage, she wouldn’t say anything nice."
"But he was alright then, though things were a bit pricey in the shop, but..."
The plumbing shop owner chuckled.
Doing business, you can’t be too honest, or you won’t last. Those flowery explanations and fluctuating prices, custors love them!
But who knew online shopping would beco so popular these days!
For things that weren’t urgently needed, people got used to shopping online, so business at the store got a bit worse.
On top of that, over the years in the urban area, the style of the older generation’s renovations gradually fell out of favor with the young. For renovating their hos, renovation companies and private designers beca more popular.
Young people have their own channels, and his old network wasn’t as effective anymore.
Business at the shop suddenly got much worse.
And when people face adversity, their flaws tend to show...
The boss didn’t finish his sentence, but the aning was understood by all.
The two of them chatted, one working and the other providing company, making a particularly perfect pairing.
...
10:00.
Old Zhao finally saw Song Tan’s shabby pickup truck wobbling over from the side alley.
As soon as the car stopped, Song Tan sighed, "The traffic is really bad up there!"
"Isn’t it? If I hadn’t directed you, you’d never have made it here with your car. It’s all barbecue places up there, and the parking lot is almost full."
Getting through the gap between the two residential complexes made it much easier.
A crowd of over 30 people got out of the car, quickly grabbing baskets and holding buckets. Lun Chuan and Song Tan were on the pickup, passing the at, while a bunch of people ca to assist.
Master Xiao Zhou had his tools ready, first calmly preparing while slling and tasting the various seasonings Old Zhao had bought.
Old Zhao also laughed, "Your DIY barbecue is quite lively."
Song Tan was also stunned, pointing at the plumbing shop owner running around: "Did you even hire people to help out?"
You bet!
Old Zhao knew how to flaunt his hard work.
"I spent half the night setting this all up for you. I even woke up several friends by knocking on their doors at their houses. Do you know how hard this was for ?"
"For our own food, new tools need to be sterilized and cleaned. The plumbing shop owner next door was willing to supply water and electricity and even helped us, so I entrusted him with it."
He boasted about his hard work but with a touch of finesse.
No need for details; Song Tan knew that Old Zhao had spent quite a bit of effort and money, and felt deeply moved:
"Our friendship really is reliable through thick and thin!"
Old Zhao widened his eyes, thinking: How do you have the nerve to say that?!
I’m the one through thick and thin!
You only co to set up the stall around noon, and sotis not even every day. When it rains, you don’t move an inch.
? I have to go get stock at two or three in the morning! And then I have to organize everything... Back in the day, I used to get chilblains in winter!
But just as he was about to say sothing, Song Tan continued:
"Old Zhao, you’re sothing else. That’s why I specially brought you a leg of lamb tonight!"
Old Zhao’s words took a sudden 90° turn, feeling equally moved: "Our friendship is one of mutual respect! That’s why we’re so close! We’ve truly endured hardships together, it’s different."
Never mind that Zhao Fangyuan built her a house, that’s business!
It’s all about oneself!
Lun Chuan, listening on the side, couldn’t help but want to laugh at their dead-serious expressions.
Then he turned to ask Qiaoqiao beside him: "Qiaoqiao, was it tough when you and your sister set up a stall?"
"Not at all!"
Qiaoqiao even reminisced fondly:
"It was so much fun! My sister would buy
Peppa, and also bubble blowers... It’s a pity Chen Chi never tried it. Back then, many Aunts really liked ."
Having finished chatting with Old Zhao, Song Tan, feeling thicker-skinned again, couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this:
"Tonight you can bring Chen Chi and the three kids to try setting up a stall. These three baskets—these two and a half baskets of water chestnuts are for you to sell, and the money can be used to buy skewers."
Chen Chi hesitated for a mont: "Then with this money, whose skewers do we buy?"
He hadn’t eaten barbecue before.
Song Tan exaggeratedly replied: "Of course, our family’s! Setting up a stall and earning money is so hard, how could we let soone else earn what we’ve made?"
The main thing is that our at slls amazing, and I bet others wouldn’t compare.
She joked as she spoke, but who knew, Chen Chi sincerely nodded, "I also think we shouldn’t let others earn it."
