Chapter 2: An existential crisis hangs in the balance


"You kid is really a nerd, and you are not the villain Huang Shengcai in the town?

After pit your inn, I don't even let go of my little bread stand. ”The third aunt complained, and Du Shaoming next to her was also indignant."

If it weren't for Huang Shengcai's means to collapse the eldest brother's inn, no one would be able to make money by eating here now, I'm afraid the sister-in-law would too" Du Shaoming was stopped by his mother with his eyes before he finished speaking.Du Shaoqing remembered that there was a restaurant Huang Shengcai in the town, who acted domineeringly, and had the intention of dominating the town's eating and drinking industry, and not long ago squeezed his Yunlai Inn restaurant business, resulting in the inn only relying on accommodation fees to survive, but in the poor and remote Luoxia Town, there are few people in the inn for a year, Du Shaoqing is secretly anxious, this property is no longer his ancestral business, it is rented, once there is no money to pay the rent, I am afraid that he and his daughter will be driven out and live on the street.I didn't expect Huang Shengcai to be so ruthless, and he didn't even let go of the small bread stall of the third uncle's house."

Hey, if you don't dry the noodle stall, has the third aunt thought about what to do in the future?

Relying on the third uncle alone, I am afraid that life will become more and more difficult. ”Du Shaoqing asked with concern.The third aunt also sighed: "Yes, Shaoming is also older, and it will cost money to marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

The day before yesterday, your third uncle got a message from his peers, saying that the big Liu family in the town wanted to recruit an old mother who washed clothes, if it didn't work, I would try it, and it would be better to earn one than to be idle at home. ”Du Shaoming was a little unconvinced: "I also want to learn to fight with my father, so that I don't have to work so hard with my mother." ”"What nonsense?

Daddy has no interest and can only be a household, don't you have any interest?

You are reluctant to let you follow your eldest brother to read and write, maybe you will have the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future. ”The third aunt pointed to her son and said."

My eldest brother didn't pass the exam three times, what should I do" Du Shaoming muttered quietly, but he didn't dare to talk back to his mother.Du Shaoqing watched all this, the daughter in his arms was eating unpalatable cakes as delicious, the third uncle's family was also struggling for life, and he was even more miserable, and if he couldn't make money and couldn't think of a way to live, he would live on the streets, so the first thing he crossed over was probably not the daughter-in-law's problem, but an existential crisis.After thinking about it for a long time, Du Shaoqing had an idea, and said to the third aunt: "I have a way, maybe I can fight with that Huang Shengcai, if it happens, maybe the two of us not only don't have to close, but the business can be better." ”"Oh?

Is it?

What's the best way to do it, let's talk about it. ”The third aunt asked with some surprise."

I know that there is a kind of thing that is better than bread called steamed bread, made of pure white noodles, which tastes soft and sweet, and even more hungry, and should be able to steal business back."

Hearing that this thing uses so much white flour, the third aunt said distressedly: "Da Lang, pure white flour production, isn't this a loser?"

Who doesn't know that pure white noodles are good, but who can afford to eat them?

”Just when Du Shaoqing was about to explain, someone came to the inn, and Du Shaoming ran in from the front yard in a panic, "Big brother, Master Tian is here." ”As soon as he heard that the landlord was coming, Du Shaoqing hurriedly greeted him, and a rich white-bearded old man was waiting in the front hall, and when he saw Du Shaoqing coming out, he didn't have a smile on his face, but was a little angry."

Tian Lao, Shaoqing is reasonable, I don't know why you came here today?"

The old man sighed: "Virtuous nephew, the old man said it bluntly, today I am here to ask for rent, if there is no rent, then I have to take back the house." ”How could this be so sudden?

Du Shaoqing was caught off guard.Master Tian spoke again: "You have been in arrears for three months' rent, although the old man has some friendship with your father, but the friendship cannot be eaten, and our family also needs to eat." ”"Tian Lao, my family has indeed encountered difficulties in recent days, but we have already thought of a way, can you allow me a few days?

How many days will the money be paid, what do you think?

”Du Shaoqing was embarrassed."

Yes, Master Tian, they all said that you have a good relationship with my uncle, and you bought our house to help with emergencies, what is it now" Du Shaoming helped on the side, Du Shaoqing immediately stopped him, "Shaoming, don't be rude." ”"The old man told me the truth, everyone sees the situation of your Du family, you are no longer able to pay me for the house, for the sake of the relationship with your father, I don't want to owe me three months' rent, tomorrow you will have a day to pack up your things, and move out the day after tomorrow, I have found a new tenant in this house."

Du Shaoming exclaimed: "What?

Old man Tian, you are the ancestral home of my Du family!

”"Shaoming, shut up."

Du Shaoqing bowed to the old man, "Uncle Tian, I don't know if I can tell my little nephew, who is in such a hurry to rent this mansion?"

”"Hehe, it's none other than Huang Shengcai, the shopkeeper of the Shengcai Restaurant in the town, he also took a fancy to this inn when he rented it, and wanted to do another inn deal, I know you have a holiday, but the price is high, I have no reason not to rent it to him."

The heart is really like this, Du Shaoqing knows that it is useless to say more, and people are coming for the Du family, so he can only nod and express his willingness to move out.The old man turned around and left, seeing that Du Jia Erlang was still not convinced, and after a pause, the old man said coldly: "Huang Shengcai originally wanted to spend money to buy here, but the old man refused, so you can do it yourself." ”After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left."

Hey, I didn't expect it to come sooner than I expected, and I'm going to be on the streets tomorrow."

Du Shaoqing sighed."

Big brother, what should I do?

It seems that you can only clean up and move to my house with Xuanxuan, but there is only one grass house left in my house to pile up sundries. ”Du Shaoming said anxiously.Waving his hand, Du Shaoqing smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry, don't you move out tomorrow?"

Today, let's make the steamed buns first, if we can't get this, let alone live, I'm afraid I won't even have food in two days. ”The third aunt who came out from the back was also indignant when she heard it, "The old man Tian is also hypocritical, he claims to be the first good person in Luoxia Town, and he has a very good relationship with your father.Da Lang, it's getting late, you are injured, it's better to rest, as for the steamed bun matter, let's wait for your third uncle to come back tomorrow and then discuss. ”After finishing speaking, he took his son Du Shaoming home, leaving Du Shaoqing and Xuanxuan father and daughter.However, Du Shaoqing is more determined about making steamed buns in his heart, he is ready to speak with facts, make the finished steamed buns first, and try to know if he can sell them."

Daddy, are you hungry?

I'll give you the bread to eat. ”Although the little girl Xuanxuan is only three years old, she is very sensible and well-behaved."

Hehe, Daddy is not hungry, you can eat it slowly, and tomorrow Daddy will make something ten times better than this, and we won't eat this bread."

Du Shaoqing hugged his daughter and said confidently."

Huh?

Why?

The bread is delicious, so why not eat it?

How many times is 10 times, daddy?

”Well, it turns out that the child is too young to imagine how much ten times it is.
