The Era of Hard Work

The east wind brings the coolness of the morning, the sun strives to climb to the horizon, and the welcome banner is put up at the gate of the School of Finance, and some old students are busy in front of the school gate, making final preparations for the welcome work.

What happened on the other side? Someone from the student union asked, Did we pull the banner?

Across the wide and straight road, a banner hangs high between two green trees, and a line of big characters is extremely eye-catching-daily necessities, high quality and low price!

Is this a stall?

Lu Dong pulled up banners, put up colorful flags, and spread tarpaulins on the checkered brick floor. This area is quite wide, even if a piece of the fence of the shop construction site sticks out, it still looks like a small square.

It can't be placed at the school gate, Lu Dong still has this point.

After opening Little Jialing, there are basins, slippers, soap, water cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mirrors, combs, mosquito coils, mosquito nets, fans, hangers, convenience bags, bottled water, washing powder and essential oils, etc., one by one according to category put away.

The sun umbrella was inserted in the specially modified place behind the car body. Lu Dong wrapped his wallet around his waist and sat behind the booth with a horse to check the bag. The hard cigarette case containing the pet was still placed in the outer interlayer, and adjusted the small tape recorder and the electric speaker. , press the play key.

The electric horn extended halfway out of the bag, and immediately yelled out a loud and clear voice.

Daily necessities, heatstroke and mosquito prevention products, beverage bottled water, toiletries, everything!

Regardless of the banner or the callout, it is to remind incoming students that there is also an option to buy essentials!

The loud voice crossed the road and even reached the school opposite.

In the big store next to the student cafeteria, Wang Qi rolled her thin lips: Sui Bo, are the goods in the warehouse ready?

The middle-aged Sui Bo was in the small warehouse behind the store: It's all ready, I left the phone number of the old market king, he can deliver the goods at any time.

Wang Qi used to work in the Quannan State-owned Shopping Mall. Although she was a front-line salesperson, she also had some business sense. She walked towards the door: There are thousands of students in the school, and the school starts in two or three days. There must be a lot of shopping. Let's fight for these two days. First pay back the debt owed by the store!

She came to the door and opened it, and the fresh air came in. Sure enough, every day was a new day, a day full of hope.

Wait, what's that sound?

Wang Qi listened carefully, it seemed that the radio was too far away to hear clearly.

The school has buses to pick up students at the train station and bus station, and they will not be able to return at this hour and a half.

Lu Dong sat under the sun umbrella and waited patiently.

As soon as the electric horn sounded, it spread far away. Before any customers came, a van searched for the sound. Before the car arrived, the glass of the rear seat was lowered, and an electric horn was also extended.

What are you doing! What are you doing! A voice with Qingzhao's accent rang out, I'm talking about you! A street vendor!

The van stopped suddenly, the co-pilot waved his hand to the back, and the electric horn went mute.

The straight man with a big head got off the co-pilot and came towards Lu Dong.

Lu Dong greeted: Brother Wang, it's so early!

Chao Chao pointed at the electric horn: Keep down the sound, don't make too much noise, and pay attention to the impact.

Okay! Lu Dong knew what was good and bad, and quickly turned down the sound of the electric horn, and asked the dynasty for advice, and then turned it off for the time being.

Wang Chao rushed to get out of the car and waved: You guys come here! When someone came, he pointed at Lu Dong: Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu. This is my brother, Lu Dong, the ass of that stupid ass in the police station! Brother.

This society is inherently realistic, and several people immediately looked at Lu Dong seriously.

Lu Dong knew how to be a man, so he quickly took out Baijiang cigarettes, scattered them one by one, stuffed all the rest into Wang Chao's hands, went to get bottled water, and directly lifted 12 bottles: It's hot when the sun comes out, take it to relieve the heat.

A few people looked at Wang Chao. If it were someone else, Wang Chao would definitely not want it, but he was not polite to Lu Dong: Take it.

The person named Zhao Hu took it over immediately, smiled at Lu Dong and said, Thank you, brother.

Lu Dong asked Wang Chao: Brother Wang, is the booth here, okay?

Don't turn on the electric horn too much. Don't disturb the start of school. It's fine. Wang Chao'an Lu Dongxin: There is a document on it to encourage idlers to work flexibly in the university town.

In fact, Dingding also hopes that the university town can come alive as soon as possible.

Wang Chao knew that the social order was not good, so he specifically told him: Today this area is the focus, your brother and I are walking around, don't panic and don't mess around when things happen.

This is a reassurance, Lu Dong said: Understood.

Lu Dong said some polite words to the others, and they got into the car and left.

Watching the van drive away, Lu Dong knew that as long as he didn't go too far, the biggest natural enemy of the United Law Enforcement Team would no longer be a problem.

He turned on the electric horn, and the slightly smaller shouting sound spread again.

Soon, a patrolling police van passed by, and Lu Dong saw someone waving in the co-pilot, and it was Lu Chun.

The van stopped at the gate of the opposite school, as if communicating with the school. Three people including Lu Chun stayed behind to help maintain order.

The above also attaches great importance to the first school day in the university city.

As the sun rose, a bus came from Quannan and stopped directly at the school gate. A large number of students and parents got off the bus, and the school gate became busy.

However, Lu Dong's side was still deserted, and he was the only one sitting under the sun umbrella.

Many people looked this way curiously because of the banners, colorful flags and electric horns, but they quickly entered the school.

Lu Dong didn't go to college, but he has watched TV. The first priority is for students' parents to report.

As the sun rose and the weather gradually became hotter, Lu Dong fanned it with a fan, and a relatively new minibus came from the direction of the county town. Because another bus was parked at the school gate, the bus simply stopped on the north side of the road. This side of the construction site.

The teacher who picked up the bus got off first, followed by students and parents. There was no air-conditioning in the minibus, and many people were panting from the heat.

The loudspeaker advertisements and piles of bottled water attracted some people's attention.

A male student in a brand-new tracksuit came over: Boss, a bottle of water.

Okay! Lu Dong was very enthusiastic, stood up and said, Price purified water is 1 yuan 5, Sprite Coke is 4 yuan...

The male student was hot and thirsty, so he directly paid for it: Two bottles of pure water.

Lu Dong took the money to get water, the male student unscrewed a bottle, poured a third of it down, went back with the water, and handed one of the bottles to his father wearing glasses.

A matriarch brought the child over: Boss, a bottle of Sprite.

Lu Dong was still smiling and enthusiastic: 4 yuan.

The matriarch frowned: Aren't they all 3 yuan?

Lu Dong explained seriously: This place is remote, the purchase is far away, and the cost is high...

The matriarch muttered, paid for a bottle of Sprite, and handed it to her son: It's so dark!

Lu Dong had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he didn't even talk back. He still smiled at each other and had an excellent attitude.

The high and the low are all compared. After looking at the store in the school, they will understand that this is a good boss with a cheap price and a conscience.

For the goods sold in the school store, the minimum retail price is doubled.

Lu Dong is much more conscientious than them, and the wholesale purchase price from the West Market is doubled.

People from the school also came to buy water one after another, but more people chose to go to the school. The school provides free boiled water, as long as there is a cup.

Moreover, there is a fast sign near the school gate, with shops marked on it. Many people think that shops are more reliable than street stalls outside.

After handling the registration handover, completing the dormitory check-in procedures, and getting the bedding, the matriarch led her son into the eight-person dormitory.

Because they came early, they were the first batch of students and parents to enter the dormitory.

The brand-new dormitory smelled of paint, and the hardware was generally good, much better than the pigeon cages for ten people in high school.

But soft conditions...

The weather in Quannan is sweltering, the dormitory is like a steamer, not to mention there is no fan, and there are too many mosquitoes. After a while of packing, the matriarch's face and arms were covered with several bags.

Looking at my son again, the tip of his nose is a lot higher.

There are a lot of things to buy. The matriarch said to her son: I brought toothpaste and toothbrush from home, so I have to prevent mosquitoes...

The son took a sip of Sprite and said, There are shops in the school.

Thinking of the unpleasant experience of buying a Sprite, the matriarch grabs the valuables and says, Come on, let's go to the store.

When I came to the big store next to the cafeteria, there were many people here, but most of them were looking at it, and not many people actually bought it.

The matriarch went in and took a look. There were price tags on the shelf at the door, under the beverage section. Ordinary bottled water cost 3 yuan, Sprite 6 yuan...

This price is going to heaven!

Looking inside, all kinds of daily necessities are at least twice as expensive as those sold in the old store.

For example, if you dare to charge eight yuan for a broken plastic basin, if it is thin enough to hold half of the basin of water, it will definitely deform when you hold it up!

black! too dark!

At the checkout at the door, someone was complaining about the high price. The proprietress in a T-shirt pursed her thin lips and was about to look at people with her nostrils: If you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it.

Wang Qi used to work in a state-owned shopping mall, and she thought she was used to tricky customers, so she couldn't give them a good face!

Seeing the person on the other side who still wanted to erase the odds, Wang Qi really wanted to slap him: Do you know this is a seller's market!

The matriarch was hesitating, but the son was very sensible, so he came over and said, Mom, why don't we go outside and have a look?

Thinking of the swarthy stall owner and the warm smile on his face, the matriarch pulled her son up and left: Let's go to the stall at the school gate.

The voice wasn't too loud, but it wasn't too soft either. Many people heard it and thought of the scene they saw when they got off the car.

yes! Although the shops in the school, one big and one small, are as dark and expensive, they are not the only choice, there are also shops selling things at the school gate!

Some people, like the matriarch, mother and child, went out of the store to the school gate, while others still chose the store.

The influence of business premises on people cannot be ignored.

Especially those who are not short of money, even if they have the same product, they will definitely choose the latter when faced with street stalls and regular stores.

Wang Qi vaguely heard someone talking about the street stall, but she was busy paying the bill and didn't pay much attention to it.

Walking up the wide main road of the school, through the open gate of the school, one can see the banner hung high by Lu Dong, with the sound of the magic trumpet floating indistinctly, the closer to the school gate, the clearer it is.

As many parents completed the check-in procedures, some people who had noticed Lu Dong's booth before chose to come out to have a look.

The things in the school are too expensive, and most people in this era are in average conditions, even if you save ten or eight yuan, it is good.

The matriarchs belonged to the group that completed the formalities earlier, and when they arrived, Lu Dong had just sent away the two groups.

Hello. With a warm smile on Lu Dong's swarthy face, he tried his best to ask in Mandarin, What do you need?

The matriarch picked up a plastic basin, touched it, it was quite thick and of good quality, and asked Lu Dong, How much?

Lu Dong smiled and opened his hands: Five yuan!

The matriarch put it down: The school has hair pots.

Just sent one, right. Lu Dong said with a smile: The dormitory building is a public wash room, and it will be difficult to occupy a faucet at that time. Can't one basin wash your face, feet, socks, and underwear?

The matriarch's son picked up the basin.

(Talk about a seller’s market that I personally experienced. About six or seven years ago, the Xiuyuan River Scenic Area was just built here. I am a big star from the provincial film and television station, and I rushed forward to do activities in the scenic spot on May 1st. My second Brothers and the others won the bid for the maintenance of the Xiuyuan River Scenic Area. You can imagine how much they paid. The place where the event was held was closed, and tickets were sold outside. There was only one kiosk inside. My second brother got the right to use it for free. A profiteer, the most expensive water for 1 yuan, I sold it for 5 yuan, and my sister-in-law sold it for 10 yuan a bottle, just drinks, snacks and box lunches, sold more than 37,000 on May 1st, three days If the turnover is over 100,000, the profit will be high.)

(Of course, I can’t be envious. A few years before that, the head of the scenic spot administration told my brother that he wanted to sell a house for 120 square meters. At that time, the normal house price was less than 5,000, and then they paid 100.)
