Quick Transmigration: I Want to Save the Female Supporting Girl

Chapter 66
As soon as I entered the gate room, the sundries that were originally placed inside had been emptied, the dilapidated wooden windows were repainted with varnish, and the paper pasting the windows was replaced with pieces of glass that were cut squarely. Much brighter.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the rows of wooden shelves placed in the middle of the room. Even though the tops are empty, they are extremely conspicuous.

"What are you doing?" Mr. Huo was a little confused. "My house is already quite good. Isn't it superfluous to replace it with a row of empty shelves?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll let someone put the shelf inside, it's not for storing sundries, go outside and have a look, what is the most lacking in our urban village, and what is the least lacking?"

Mr. Huo snorted softly, "Old man, I've lived here all my life, and you've only been here for a few days, so you've got me tested."

Although this is what he said, Mr. Huo still thought about it carefully, "The most indispensable thing here is people. Every year when people come to the city, they all come here to settle down. The most troublesome thing is that although the rent here is cheap, it is far away The city center is far away.”

"That's it," Yu Xia nodded repeatedly, "Think about it, the people living here are all working here, and we are very busy from morning to night. How can we still have time or the mood to go shopping in the city? Even if we have , it’s too time-consuming to go back and forth.”

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Yu Xia chuckled, "It's not that your concierge is big enough, so I want to borrow it to open a small shop."

"shop?"

"Yes, it's just like the grocery store 200 meters away, but we sell fewer varieties here than there. The store has just opened, and I don't know how many people have come. We only sell some daily necessities, such as snacks and salt. , various seasonings and the like. I have already negotiated with the wholesale market, and they will deliver the goods at five o'clock every morning, and the payment will be settled on the spot. "

"Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me in advance?" Mr. Huo tapped his cane, "You are still a child, and you have to go to school with all the money on hand. What if you are cheated?"

"Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry." Seeing that Mr. Huo was coughing in anger, Yu Xia hurried over to help him, "The owner of the first store on the left at the wholesale market is the most kind, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed there After so many years, I have inquired about everything before I go. You also know that although I have a lot of money on hand, it will cover my expenses for three years, but after three years? I have to plan ahead. If you I don’t mind it, I also want to invite you to be the manager of this canteen, usually collect money, sweep the floor, and I will pay you wages.”

Hearing that Yu Xia wanted to give him money, Mr. Huo stared, "You haven't learned how to walk yet, so you just want to run away? We'll talk about the salary later, isn't it just to open a shop? My old man has traveled farther than you I’ve eaten a lot of salt, so what’s the point of opening a shop!”

"Then let's make a deal like this? You don't need to worry about ordering the goods. I will finish it after I study. You can collect the money with peace of mind."

"Toss around!" Hearing that she had paid half a month's deposit in advance, Mr. Huo was still angry, and pointed at her, "Just do it, as soon as you lose all the money, it will stop. "

Yu Xia scratched her head, "Isn't everything difficult at the beginning? If our canteen really becomes famous, we won't have to worry about living expenses in the future."

Mr. Huo suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, then waved his hand, "Forget it, since we are going to open a store, you go buy two firecrackers. It will be lively tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll go."

Early the next morning, amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Huo's canteen opened for business.

On the first day of opening, in order to attract customers, Yu Xia shouted "[-] minus [-] for full [-], [-] minus five for full [-]".The opening time of the store is seven o'clock. At this time, every household in the village in the city is up, and there are people walking to work, shopping for vegetables, and people walking around in the early morning on the street.

Yu Xia saw this opportunity, and shouted vigorously, holding a stack of thick straw paper in her hand, and handing out a piece of paper to anyone she saw.

For the first time, I heard that there were discounts on shopping, and many people followed the sound and entered the canteen.

The products on the shelves are all marked with prices, and there is a basket made by Mr. Huo in the corner of the door to hold the purchased things. The shopping mode that is quite novel to the people nowadays makes people subconsciously browse around the shelves. .

Although the concierge is not big, it has everything.

There are everything from needlework and thimbles to mops and washbasins, from seasonings to all kinds of old-fashioned snacks, and the prices marked on them are 30 cents cheaper than the familiar grocery stores.Don't underestimate the two cents, now many people can earn two to thirty yuan a day, save two cents for one piece, and save a few cents for a meal.

Especially Yu Xia's side is still fifteen minus two. Never underestimate people, especially women's shopping ability.

Worried that Mr. Huo would be too busy, Yu Xia was also watching from the side, first to help the old man share some of the pressure of settlement, and second, to save someone from stealing things and not paying the bill - it's not that Yu Xia has never thought about installing a camera, but first The pixels captured here are not very high-definition, and secondly, the cost of buying a camera here is also high. She is a small shop that has just opened, and she can't afford it for the time being, so she can only hope for everyone's quality.

After a busy day, if it wasn't for the old man's health, Yu Xia might not even be able to remember to eat. At seven o'clock in the evening, the last two guests were sent away. Seeing old man Huo's tired face, Yu Xia patted his forehead, " Grandpa, let’s go back to the house.”

Mr. Huo cheered up and said, "I'm not sleepy. Let's calculate how much we earned today."

Knowing that the old man was worried about the performance of the store, Yu Xia was unambiguous, locked the door, turned on the lights, and the grandpa and grandson gathered around the table and started counting one by one.

"Excluding the money spent on purchasing goods, we made a total of 130 yuan and sixty-seven cents today. But this is only the first day. We have just opened, and there are discounts. There are more talents coming. After the first three days of opening, I'm afraid we will earn more. less."

"It's a lot more," Mr. Huo said, feeling much more energetic. "Mr., my monthly pension is only 300 yuan. If this trend continues, what I make in three days will be as much as what I make in a month."

"Yeah, our life will get better and better, but Grandpa, it's getting late today, you should go to bed early." Seeing that the old man opened his mouth and was about to refuse, Yu Xia said again, "The store has to open tomorrow."

Mr. Huo nodded quickly, "That's why you have to go to bed early."

Helping the old man to lie down on the bed, Yu Xia went back to the room and wrote down the accounts one by one in the notebook. While writing, she silently thought that letting the old man be in charge of the cashier was just a stopgap measure. He is old, so how can he do it day by day? Stand guard at the door?Still have to find someone to help, but who to turn to?

Yu Xia put away the account book, took out the test paper and started writing. As he wrote, his writing suddenly became heavier, "By the way, let's find Brother Da Da!"

In Yuanshen's memory, Huang Dahui was also a pitiful person, Mr. Huo lost his beloved son in middle age, and he lost his parents since he was a child.He finally became an apprentice to learn barbering, but when the barber saw that he had no one at home, he deceived him and made a big deal out of him, but refused to teach him his true skills.Later, Huang Dahui couldn't stay any longer, so he returned to his hometown and opened a small barber shop. However, he was not good at crafting, and often had bad haircuts. Sometimes he compensated people more than he earned. That is to say, the generals will have enough food and clothing.

Although life is difficult, Huang Daidai has an advantage that many people do not have, that is, optimism and kindness. Even if he is defrauded of money, scolded by others, and criticized for his bad life, he still believes in the world. There are always good people.

When Yuanshen was the most rebellious back then, learning to dye her hair, smoke and drink like others, it was Huang Dahui who stopped her and told her to go to his place if she wanted to dye her hair. Only then did Yuanshen keep this in mind, and gradually parted ways with those who deliberately brought her down.

If there is anything Yu Xia can do to repay Huang Dahui, then now is the best time.

The next morning, Yu Xia got up early in the morning when the sky was slightly bright, and tiptoed to the front of Mr. Huo's room. Seeing through the window that Mr. Huo was still asleep, Yu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked out.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Who is it?" Huang Dahui walked out sleepily with a head of yellow hair, "You came to call the door early in the morning! Xia Xia? Why are you here?"

From Chengzhong Village to Huang Dahui's residence, Yu Xia walked for more than 40 minutes. She was sweating profusely from exhaustion. Seeing that he was still asleep, she gestured for him to wash his face first and wake up.

When Huang Dahui came back with drops of water all over his face, Yu Xia had already poured himself a cup of hot water and drank it in small sips.

Seeing that her face remained unchanged, Huang Dahui looked cautious, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

In the early years, no one cared about Yu Xia, and it was all up to Huang Dahui to decide what happened.Huang Dahui was used to it, seeing her hurrying over early in the morning, he thought something had happened again.

Yu Xia shook her head, "Brother Da Da, where are you going? I opened a small shop, but there are so many people that I can't handle it. I want you to help me."

"What? Open a shop!" Huang Dahui stood up in fright, "Where did you get the money?"

Yu Xia spread her hands, "I got the tuition back."

"Oh, it turns out it's... tuition! You don't go to school anymore?!"

Rubbing his trembling ears, Yu Xia reluctantly beckoned him to sit down, "You still have to study, but the money can't be managed for a while, can't you just sit and eat?"

"That's a lot of money," Huang Dahui murmured, "If I had that much money, I could buy the house I live in now."

"You will," Yu Xia said with firm eyes.

Huang Dahui scratched his hair irritably, "Tell me, you used to come to me for so many things. Why did you take matters into your own hands for such a big matter? It would be great to save such a large amount of money!"

"Brother Dadong, take a look at this first." Yu Xia took out the account book from her pocket and handed it over.

Huang Dahui hesitated to take it over and put it in his hand, and opened it under Yu Xia's encouraging eyes, but after turning it over, his eyes gradually became fixed, "This, you earned this?"
