Chapter 18 Win-win
Xiao Ying didn't like watching this kind of tear-gas romance tragedy, and liked to read relaxed martial arts novels, but when Zhuoran said so well, he was a little itchy, so he wanted to continue reading it.
However, when the wine and food came, he was afraid that the oil stains would fall on someone's book during meals, which would not be great, so he would borrow them back to the dormitory to read them slowly. Anyway, the book was not thick, so he probably finished reading it in one night.
So he put the book aside, picked up a pinch of pepper and served it in his mouth and chewed it. It tasted really good. It seemed that the chef had a good craftsmanship, no wonder the business was booming.
Zhuoran came in again, holding a bottle of Erguotou and a small wine glass. Seeing that he had already started eating, he smiled and said, "Brother Greedy Cat, I'll start eating before the wine has arrived. I'll give you wine."
She put the wine glass in front of Xiao Ying, unscrewed the lid of the wine bottle, poured him a glass. She placed the wine bottle on the table and said, "The wine and food you ordered have been served, but my grandmother said she wanted to stir-fry a portion of snails for you in person to express her gratitude. This is our store's specialty dish. I'll give it to you later."
"That's so thankful."
"What's the point of saving my dad? If you want to thank me, we have to thank you! - By the way, why don't you read books anymore? Isn't it good to read?"
"No, I'm afraid I'll get dirty. I'll borrow it back to the dormitory and take a look at it later. Is it OK?"
"Okay, no problem. I will borrow any books on my bookshelf. - Since you don't read books, why don't I play some music for you?"
"OK."
Zhuoran said: "I'll sing for you? What songs do you like to listen to? Do Long Qingquan like it?"
"There is a Dream of Red Mansions episode. I saw the song score under the glass plate on your desk."
"Yes!" Zhuoran took off a tape from the cassette shelf and put it into a small recorder. He pressed the play button and the music floated out of the episode of Dream of Red Mansions.
Xiao Ying said: "You really like Dream of Red Mansions, right?"
"Yes, I have watched TV series several times and novels. I like Xue Baochai the most. I don't like Lin Daiyu. She is cautious and gets angry at all times. But she is very pitiful. - I won't talk to you anymore, I'm busy down there. You can listen slowly."
After saying that, Zhuoran turned around and went downstairs again.
After a while, Zhuoran's grandmother walked in with a plate of fragrant fried snails and said to Xiao Ying with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, how about it? Is the dishes still suitable? This is our store's signature fried snails, so you can try them too?"
Xiao Ying quickly stood up, thanked him, took the plate of snails and put them on the table and said, "There are too many dishes, I can't finish them."
"No more, eat slowly, don't worry. You have to work outside for two hours before Zhuoran has time to come in to do your homework, so you eat slowly."
After Grandma Tian left, Xiao Ying was drinking wine leisurely while eating vegetables, listening to the beautiful singing sounds floating out of the radio, and thinking about the future fortune telling and medical treatment in her head.
After listening to a box of tapes, Xiao Ying found another plate of Taiwanese singer Qi Qin's song on the cassette shelf and put it into the recorder. Qi Qin's songs were popular in China in the 1990s, and Xiao Ying liked them very much, especially the song "About Winter". After drinking a little wine, he became more interested, and hummed again.
After singing a few words, Zhuoran's voice came from behind: "Big Brother's singing is good, it's a king-level!"
Xiao Ying turned around and smiled, saying, "I laugh at you when I see you."
Zhuoran brought a small pot of tomato and egg soup in and put it on the table. Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't order soup!"
"This is for you. - All the dishes tonight are free, which is what my mother said. My mother called just now and heard that you were having dinner here, she told her grandmother that she could not collect money tonight, which was to repay your little wish."
"How can you not charge money? If you open a store and do business, you won't lose money? No, I accept the gift of snails. I have expressed my kindness. I still have to pay for the rest. If you open a store, you don't charge money. If you don't charge money, you won't charge money. I'm embarrassed to do this in the future."
Zhuoran burst into laughter and said, "What are you thinking about? I'll give you free today. I'll eat it tomorrow. I'll receive it any more, and I won't lose a penny."
Xiao Yingdi smiled: "This is almost the same. However, every meal is like this. I may not be able to afford it. We use spoons to cook vegetables at school, and we will be given up just two spoons of vegetables and four taels of rice."
"That's fine. We have fast food for takeout, which is the kind you said. Just put two spoonfuls of dishes at a meal and put them in a fast food box. You can bring your lunch box and serve you with your taste. It's very cheap. The meat and dishes are absolutely hygienic, so don't worry."
Xiao Ying looked at Zhuoran with approval and said, "It's very business-minded, it's good. Then I'll pay you food every month, how much do I pay?"
"You can pay as much as you spend in school for a month, and you can prepare meals according to your school's standards."
"I spend 60 yuan a month at school. In the morning, I have buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks and porridge, and four taels of rice at noon and evening, one spoonful of meat dishes and one spoonful of vegetarian dishes."
"Okay, then you can convert it to the day according to this standard. Two yuan a day, - breakfast 40 cents, lunch and dinner 80 cents each. I will keep your account. Sometimes you may have to eat outside and cannot charge your money. How much you eat is settled at the end of the month? How about it?"
Xiao Ying nodded again and said, "This method is very good. Just do it like this, so I'll trouble you."
"What's the trouble? To be honest, we still have to make money with your standard. You can also make money, and we can make money, which is called a win-win situation."
"The little girl has one set."
"Don't call me a little girl, I'm fifteen years old."
"Okay, Zhuoran, thank you for solving the food problem for me. - By the way, you just said that your mother called me. Does your house have a phone number?"
"Yes, the pay phone, right on the table under the window of the pergola outside."
Xiao Ying was very happy and said hurriedly: "It's great if you have a phone number. My company is still worried about not having a phone number when conducting business. Use your phone as our company's phone number first. Of course, I have to pay for calling, so I don't need to pay to answer the phone, right?"
"No money, if you have a phone call to you, I will call you. If I am not here, my grandma will call you. By the way, my brother, what is your company name? What are you doing?"
"A difficult and complicated disease consulting company specializes in helping patients like your father who are misdiagnosed, tell them what the real cause is, and help them choose the right hospital and the right doctor. Then charge a certain consultation fee."
Zhuoran was immediately surprised and said, "I heard from my grandmother that you can tell something about it based on my father's name. Can you really tell fortunes?"
"Well, this involves industry secrets, and I can't say it. But I can tell you that it mainly uses the medical knowledge I have learned and the information I have mastered in hospitals across the country to provide them with consultation and help."
"Oh, it's good to not tell fortunes. - Those fortune tellers on the street are all lie, which is annoying. I often hear people coming to quarrel with them and saying that they cheated on money. They can't calculate it accurately, and some help the worse."
"Yes, fortune telling is a scam. - Go and do it, I'll have a little more time."
"Okay, big brother, eat slowly, don't worry."
Seeing that his glass was empty, Zhuoran poured another glass for him, and then turned around and went downstairs.
Xiao Ying listened to the song and drank wine, and he could eat this dish so pleasantly.
I ate this meal for more than an hour, mainly because he was thinking about what to do next. At the same time, he searched some keywords related to this city in the national hospital medical record database in his mind, found some cases and saw if there were anyone who could help me with guidance.
After dinner, he turned off the electric fan and recorder, slightly drunk, and walked downstairs with the stairs.
The business below is still booming. After all, on a stuffy summer night, many people are not used to going to bed early and come out to have late supper and drink cold beer. Especially the seats in the pergola outside are basically full.
Seeing Xiao Ying coming down, Zhuoran quickly came up and said, "Brother, have you finished eating? Sorry, there are too many guests below and haven't been to greet you. How about it? The food is delicious!"
"It's very good, you're welcome. I'm already full of wine and meals and ready to go back to school. I'll bring the bedding here tomorrow morning and then install my home in the company."
"Okay, I'll pack that shop for you tomorrow morning. What do you think is missing? I'll prepare it for you."
"Okay. Let's see it then. I'm leaving-do you really don't have to pay?"
Zhuoran tilted his head and smiled, "It's really not necessary. My mother said this is a reward for you. By the way, are you drunk? Is there any problem on the road?"
