Chapter 375 Will the Store Be Closed?
It's another sunny day! Looking at the sunny weather, Zhang Tong felt much better. Although the date with Jiang Hua was not that successful, Jiang Hua was dragged away to work halfway through the date with himself. But he and she have taken a firm step, right?
In fact, this step is the most difficult to take, but as long as it is taken, the other party does not refuse. Then the rest is almost a grind. As long as I grind slowly, I can grind Jiang Hua into my hands.
Zhang Tong thought so much, it didn't open yesterday, but it still has to open normally today. I still have to rely on opening a restaurant to support my family, although I learned from Li Tianfeng that Jianghua's family is actually very rich, as long as I soak in Jianghua, I can eat soft meals for the rest of my life. But he is still a man of integrity. If you want to simply eat soft rice, then Gao Xiaomin's soft rice is better.
But Gao Xiaomin's matter was really troublesome. I thought she had lost her memory, but I didn't expect that she still had it. And because I was given too much medicine by myself, I became a shaking m, or a more foreign word [Stockholm Syndrome].
It's really troublesome, it's really troublesome for her to pester herself. I didn't do anything to her either, it would be very troublesome if she kept pestering me, and I still want to live a simple life. But she still remembered what she had done, she had better not tell it. In fact, Gao Xiaomin is troublesome, but no matter what, Gao Xiaomin was also his comrade in arms (experimental product) in the past! I am not a conscienceless person, I can't do the decisive killing of the protagonists in many novels. After killing my friend, I said lightly [Only the dead can keep secrets], I can't do this myself!
Thinking of Gao Xiaomin's problem, Zhang Tong felt a little pain in his temple. How to solve her is a problem. She also has a dear friend, Li Lianlong, who can be said to be under the ex-boyfriend. This kid is not bad, he was born in Huaihai and grew up in the Northeast, so he doesn't know whether he is from Huaihai or Northeast.
This guy is still infatuated with Gao Xiaomin. As a superstar, there should be many people who like Li Lianlong. This is really a bad debt. Fortunately, Gao Xiaomin seems to have returned to the north because of something in the family recently and is not in Huaihai. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.
Zhang Tong patted his forehead and felt that he actually had a lot of troubles, but he couldn't help it because people always have to toss about in this world.
But no matter what troubles I have to do, I still have to do the work I should do, and I still have to buy some ingredients today.
Zhang Tong rode his little electric donkey to the vegetable market he often went to. Of course, it could not be the railway market, because although the railway market was very close to his shop and the railway vegetable market was also very clean, the prices of vegetables were on the high side. So Zhang Tong usually goes to the vegetable market by the Suzhou River in the direction of East China Normal University. It is not very accurate to say that it is a vegetable market, because this should actually be regarded as a prefab house built along the Suzhou Creek.
Because there is no vegetable market nearby, residents living nearby have to go far to buy vegetables, so the local neighborhood committee turned a blind eye to this. Otherwise, if the vegetable market is really demolished, the residents will have great opinions. As long as there is no road-occupying operation blocking the intersection at the intersection, it will be fine.
"However, it won't last long here." At the stall where Zhang Tong often went to buy meat, the lean stall owner said helplessly: "Maybe we won't come to Huaihai in the next year after the new year is over this year."
"What?" Zhang Tong just finished buying twenty catties of pork belly.
"What else can we do? Huaihai wants to drive people away. For the sake of the city's appearance and environment, we are going to drive away foreigners." The pork stall owner was a little annoyed when he said this, but he was very helpless: "This place will be demolished, at most This vegetable market will no longer exist in the next year.”
"Then what do the surrounding residents do when they buy vegetables? The nearest vegetable market is Xingshan Market, which is more than three or four kilometers away from here, and the prices are at least 25% more expensive than here."
"That's right, because the rent and management fee of the Xingshan Vegetable Market are much more expensive than ours. A small stall costs several thousand a month in rent, and there are seven or eighty-eight things to pay for sanitation fees and management fees. They have to pay a fixed land tax of 300 yuan a month. How can they make money if they don’t buy more expensive food? Our booth fees are cheaper here, and the water, electricity, sanitation management fees are also cheaper, and we don’t pay land taxes. That’s why the surrounding residents come here Shopping for vegetables. I heard that a large vegetable market will be set up after it is demolished, but the price of vegetables will definitely go up after it is built.” The pork stall owner cut another piece of meat for the old lady who was picking meat.
The old aunt was a little uncomfortable hearing what the boss said: "The price of vegetables is going to rise again?"
"Move us all to the big vegetable market. The management fee will increase and the price of vegetables will definitely go up, at least 20%." The meat stall owner spread his hands.
The old aunt shook her head: "Now the old man and I have to eat, buy vegetables and eat some fruits for a month, and it costs 1560 yuan a month. If there is an increase of 20%, then we don't need to spend 2000 a month. Seeing a doctor and taking medicine, this retirement salary is not enough."
Zhang Tong asked the owner of the meat stall: "Aren't you going to move to a new vegetable market?" Because the pork from this store is very good, Zhang Tong has always come here to buy vegetables, if you change to another meat stall, you will have to look for it again .
"No, the rent is too expensive. If you can't make money, you have to pay the rent. Every day at two o'clock in the middle of the night, I have to ride an electric tricycle to the slaughterhouse to guard the pigs, just to be the first to pick the best ones." Pork. When I buy pork, I have to sort it out. I’m too tired. If I can’t sell all the meat in one day, the price of refrigerated meat will go down the next day. I can only guarantee that I won’t lose money. If you earn too little money, you might as well go to work. Those who sell pork The same is true for vegetables. Those who make money selling vegetables also make money, and those who don’t make money can suffer from couples quarreling and getting divorced. It’s too tiring to do this kind of small business. I used to open skewers on the road from East China Normal University. The stores next to the East China Normal University were closed and sealed. Then I went to sell fried chicken next to Caoyang No. 7 Middle School, and then the city was reorganized and these stores were closed again.”
"I'm selling pork now, so I'm probably going to be banned. I can't stay in Huaihai anymore, and the low-end population will be eliminated. I'm the one who will be eliminated in this city. I'd better go back to my hometown to do the fried skewer business." Said here The owner of the butcher's stall was a bit unwilling but he couldn't help it: "Who told me that I am not a high-end population in this city."
Zhang Tong is also very helpless about this, and he can't help the pork stall owner, because this is a decision made by the city government. I can't say it's wrong, but I can't say it's all right either. As an urban development plan, it is natural to have a high-end atmosphere, especially for an international metropolis like Huaihai.
But how can the more than 30 million people living in this city be all elites? And even elites can't live without human fireworks. These people working at the bottom are actually an important part of maintaining the daily normal operation of Huaihai, a super city. If they were all gone, then Huaihai would also become cold.
The municipal government wants to build Huaihai into a big city like New York, but is it really good? Tong Zhang recalled a story told by his Chinese teacher when he was in elementary school: American cities (in fact, New York) have no trees on both sides of the road, but trees are planted on both sides of the road like in China, what kind of city does it look like. This kind of view was quite common in Zhang Tong's time. In many cities, the green plants on both sides of the road were actually cut down, making the road bare.
Looking at it now, this can be regarded as an extreme degree of xenophobia, and many people in the management department really think so, thinking that everything in the West is good. However, Zhang Tong felt that the road without trees would dare to walk out in summer!
Now that Huaihai is doing this, is it a certain degree of admiration for the ocean? Zhang Tong shook his head and rode back to the store on a small battery, but when he first arrived at the store, he saw a group of neighbors surrounded by a few people in uniform shouting loudly: "Why do you say that our store is not regulated and not allowed to open! Make it clear to me, if you don't make it clear, you are not allowed to leave! My family relies on me to open a shop to make money, so who dares to say that I am not allowed to do business here today, I will never end with you!"
