Chapter 67 Su Mingzhe makes money by setting up a street stall (310)
After hearing Su Mingzhe's words, the Su family was stunned.
Su Mingyu was still young and couldn't understand what her elder brother was saying.
Su Mingcheng understood a little bit, but when he saw his own mother's face turned black and her eyes were gloomy, he was so scared that even his chopsticks fell to the ground.
Su Daqiang was also shocked. He didn't expect that his eldest son would dare to say anything.
Zhao Meilan, the only outsider in the Su family, was so angry that her hands were shaking when she heard her son analyze her younger brother Zhao Guoqing as a loser.
But after Su Mingzhe finished speaking, Zhao Meilan did not get angry. After a long silence, she asked, "Boss, what you just said was all your own thinking?"
"No, I read it in a book."
Su Mingzhe also realized that what he had just said seemed to have caused trouble, and quickly threw the blame away.
"what book?"
As Zhao Meilan spoke, she looked fiercely at her man with her almond-shaped eyes.
In this family, Su Daqiang is the one who likes reading the most.
When Su Daqiang was looked at by his wife, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and quickly looked at his son: "Su Mingzhe, what kind of book are you reading?"
"It's Dream of the Red Chamber."
Su Mingzhe glared back at his biological father speechlessly. This biological father was so irresponsible that he didn't even protect his own son.
"Dream of the Red Chamber?"
This time Zhao Meilan was a little confused and puzzled: "Why does Dream of the Red Chamber write about your uncle?"
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Zhao Meilan had never heard of Dream of the Red Chamber.
By the way, "Dream of Red Mansions" was very popular a few years ago. Didn’t Zhao Meilan watch it?
Su Mingzhe thought for a moment and said bluntly:
"The hero Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions grew up surrounded by women. He was spoiled, pampered, and coaxed by a group of women in his family. He had no sense of responsibility, no skills, and no desire to learn. He ignored his huge family business and instead spent all his time hanging out with a group of women. In the end, his family was broken up."
"I think there is no difference between my uncle and Jia Baoyu. He has also been surrounded, coaxed, and spoiled by women since he was a child. He is uneducated and has no skills. Whenever there is a problem, he asks your sister to solve it. He has no responsibility at all. In fact, he is even worse than Jia Baoyu."
"After all, Jia Baoyu still has the Rongguo Mansion to support him as a prodigal son, but what does my grandmother's family have? Now my uncle comes to our house to make trouble whenever he has something to do. I don't want to learn from him. When I grow up, I will go to my relatives' house to make trouble whenever I have something to do..."
"I want to set up a stall to make money, but I don't want to become a person like my uncle in the future."
Su Mingzhe's words of mockery and ridicule towards Zhao Guoqing really irritated Zhao Meilan.
However, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but express these words in his heart.
After all, he really didn't want to let Zhao Guoqing, the useless uncle, suck blood from Zhao Meilan for twenty or thirty years.
Zhao Meilan is only 37 years old this year. Logically speaking, she is still a young person, but she has begun to develop crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
They all worry about life.
The Su family is well off. Even though Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan don't have high salaries, they are a dual-income family after all, so their life is still okay compared to an ordinary working-class family.
Why does my family still worry about money all day long?
In Su Mingzhe's opinion, it was all because of his troublesome uncle Zhao Guoqing.
The Su family's account book recorded that Zhao Guoqing had borrowed several sums of money from the Su family, but in fact only large sums were recorded.
What little money Zhao Meilan had, she secretly gave to her family.
Su Daqiang didn't know all this, so naturally he didn't write it down.
Today, Su Mingzhe's remarks, seemingly a declaration of independence and freedom, were actually an accusation against Zhao Guoqing.
This kind of accusation was no less than a blow to the sky for the Su family controlled by Zhao Meilan.
However, in addition to feeling panic and heartache, Zhao Meilan also felt very powerless at this moment.
It is said that children are no longer under the control of their fathers when they grow up.
In Zhao Meilan's opinion, her son had such a change because he "woke up" after being beaten by his younger brother in the morning.
After all, Zhao Meilan actually still doesn't want to think of her son in a wrong way.
If the son has complaints about his younger brother, it means that his younger brother has done something wrong.
What Zhao Meilan is thinking about now is not blaming her son or teaching him a lesson, but how to comfort him.
"Okay, since the eldest son wants to set up a stall and train himself, your father and I support you," Zhao Meilan thought for a short time and finally agreed to her son's plan to set up a stall.
"But, Boss, do you have a plan for setting up a stall? What do you want to sell? How do you want to sell it? Where do you want to sell it? Have you considered all these? Also, where will you get the capital to set up a stall? There is no money at home for you to spend."
"Mom, I've thought about all this," Su Mingzhe did not expect that his mother was really convinced by his words. He was determined in his heart and quickly told her the details of his stall plan.
With the memories of three lives, Su Mingzhe has no shortage of money-making plans in his mind.
What's more, with the system's sign-in monetary rewards, it doesn't matter if Su Mingzhe's stall plan doesn't make money.
Of course, Su Mingzhe will complete his stall plan first.
After listening to this, Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan also asked many questions, asking how Su Mingzhe should deal with any situation.
Su Mingzhe answered them one by one.
When Su Daqiang and his wife saw that Su Mingzhe did have a detailed plan, they realized that their son had probably thought it over carefully.
In this case, Su Daqiang and his wife have no reason to stop their son from exercising himself.
After all, in the early 1990s, everyone was not living a well-off life.
Children from poor families have to grow up early.
It is very common for children of Su Mingzhe's age to go out and make a living.
That night, Su Mingzhe began to make preparations.
There are many problems if you want to set up a stall.
For example, because Su Mingzhe is young, he can only sell small and light items. If the items are big, he cannot take them out every time, and if they are heavy, he cannot move them.
Secondly, although Su Mingzhe said that he is young and can act cute and coquettish when setting up the stall, no one can guarantee how effective it will be.
Therefore, in order to attract customers, Su Mingzhe has to prepare something eye-catching.
There is also the issue of venue.
Guanqian Street is actually not very large, and there aren't many places to set up stalls.
If Su Mingzhe wants to set up a stall, he has to find the local market management department and rent a venue.
These are all troublesome things.
Of course, these things are just troubles for Su Mingzhe.
After being busy for half the night, it was almost dawn when Su Mingzhe went to take a shower and rest.
The next day, Su Mingzhe signed in and received another +80 yuan and +80 experience points.
When the experience value exceeds 160, the sealed Baguazhang can be unlocked to L3 level.
Three minutes later, Su Mingzhe's system showed up.
Name: Su Mingzhe (formerly known as Ye Song, He Yuzhu)
Age: 12 years old
Skills: Baguazhang L3-L10 (sealed state).
Remaining experience points: 10.
Strength: 10 (Peak value for adults is 10)
Stamina: 6 (peak value for adults is 10)
Speed: 5 (Peak value for adults is 10)
Spirit: 12 (Peak value for adults is 10)
Special items: Small space (volume 100*100*100 cubic meters.)
Pet: Star Devourer (baby body)
Two levels are unlocked, and the experience points turn into blood mist, strengthening the body.
Strength +5 points, endurance +2 points, speed and mental strength remained unchanged.
Su Mingzhe still looks skinny, but in fact his muscles already have explosive power. Compared with an adult, he is only slightly inferior.
After checking his body, Su Mingzhe looked at the Star Devourer in the system space, thought again and again, took it out, and placed it on the palm of his hand. The meaty egg the size of a little finger suddenly appeared in a new environment, moved its head, opened its mouth, and bit towards Su Mingzhe's palm.
He Yuzhu felt a pain in his palm. He looked at the little guy who started to suck blood, and suddenly a middle school thought popped up in his mind:
"Is this the divine beast recognizing its master?"
Su Mingzhe felt a little excited when he recalled the story in a novel about a mythical beast recognizing its master.
Star-eating beast.
Just hearing the name sounds very domineering.
Maybe after this little fellow recognizes his master, he will directly give himself a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, or some magical power of a mythical beast, bloodline inheritance or something like that.
Just as Su Mingzhe began to fantasize about the future, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
"You think too much."
"Who?"
Su Mingzhe was startled. The sound that suddenly appeared in his mind was a little shrill, like a cat's meow.
"it is me."
The Star-Swallowing Beast raised its head, and its two sesame-sized eyes actually exuded an expression called "mockery".
When the little fellow saw Su Mingzhe looking at him, he sneered, and then he used his consciousness in He Yuzhu's mind and continued:
"If you want my bloodline inheritance, you have to wait until I grow to maturity. Based on the energy contained in your blood, I will need to consume at least 400 trillion of it."
Su Mingzhe was frightened by the little guy's words: "How much? Four million, or four hundred trillion?"
"That's four hundred trillion."
The little fellow yawned with his mouth open as he spoke, and then said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep. Remember to feed me with experience points every day, and don't forget three meals a day. When you travel to a new world next time, I will come back to your side when you sign in for the first time."
"No, what do you mean?"
When Su Mingzhe heard what the little guy said, he trembled with fear.
This little guy even understands "experience points" and "traveling to a new world".
What the hell is this?
Su Mingzhe wanted to ask more questions, but he saw the little guy suddenly turned into white light and disappeared.
When Su Mingzhe found him in the pet space, the little guy had already fallen asleep.
"This little bastard is acting like a big shot and even wants my experience points to feed him..."
Although Su Mingzhe didn't want to pay attention to the little guy.
But the little guy's name is too domineering.
Star-eating beast.
Just listen to the name, if this little guy can really swallow stars, how powerful will his mature body be?
With Su Mingzhe's current knowledge, he is not able to think about this problem.
After the Star Devourer lies in the pet space, there is a feeding button behind 'Star Devourer' in the system properties bar.
Every time Su Mingzhe clicks the 'Feed' button, his experience points will decrease a little.
Fortunately, I don’t need to feed him.
Su Mingzhe put away the system, still thinking about the Star-Swallowing Beast in his heart.
But no matter how Su Mingzhe called out, the little guy didn't move.
After struggling for more than ten minutes, Su Mingzhe heard Su Mingcheng calling for dinner downstairs, so he quickly got up, packed up and washed up.
We agreed to set up a stall and earn money today. This is a serious matter and we can't delay it.
After breakfast, Su Mingzhe rode his 28-inch bicycle straight to the wholesale market on Qimen North Street.
It took about an hour to ride a bike from Tongdeli to Qimen North Street.
When he arrived at the place, Su Mingzhe discovered that the shop sold a wide variety of items.
This also meets Su Mingzhe's requirements.
Su Mingzhe rode his bike around and bought a lot of things.
Of course, I only had a little over 100 yuan in cash on me and didn’t buy much goods.
The characteristic of his purchase is that he is haphazard. After buying something, he throws it into the system space when no one is paying attention.
We rode for another hour and returned to Su's house in Tongdeli.
Before entering the room, Su Mingzhe had already packed the things in the space into two large sacks.
When I got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Judging from the time, Su Daqiang is about to get off work.
Su Mingcheng and Su Mingyu heard the noise and ran out.
These two little guys are still children and are used to being curious about unfamiliar things.
When Su Mingzhe unloaded the two large sacks from the bicycle, the two men stood aside curiously, waiting for their eldest brother to open them and broaden their eyes.
"Brother, what did you buy?"
Su Mingcheng knew more or less what his elder brother was going to do, and wanted to reach out to untie the sack, but he was afraid to do it. The scene of his elder brother beating his uncle yesterday left him with a deep fear.
"Just some stationery and some toys."
Su Mingzhe did not open the sack to show it to the two little ones, mainly because he didn't want to bother with it.
After carrying the sack into the house, Su Mingzhe continued to tinker with his stall props.
At noon, Su Daqiang came back and saw the sack. He was quite curious and wanted to open it to take a look, but was stopped by Su Mingzhe.
It’s hard to say, but Su Daqiang’s status in the family is really low.
Sometimes, Su Mingzhe feels sorry for his own father.
Recalling He Yuzhu's memory, He Daqing in "The Story of Siheyuan" didn't seem to be afraid of his wife.
How come the same person plays the same role but the performance is so different?
After Zhao Meilan came back, Su Mingzhe briefly talked about his preparations and said that he would go to the market management department of Guanqian Street in the afternoon to discuss the issue of renting a stall.
Because they are still young, Su Mingzhe wants Su Daqiang to go with him. This may involve the issue of rental fees, which requires an adult to go and handle it.
Su Daqiang glanced at his wife, and Zhao Meilan did not refuse.
After thinking about it all night, Zhao Meilan finally figured out her son's plan to use his saved 'lucky money' to buy goods for a stall.
Regardless of the outcome of this stall sale, Su Mingzhe's attitude of self-reliance is still very good.
Worthy of encouragement.
Su Daqiang was a little unhappy that his son didn't discuss anything with him. At this time, he couldn't help but find fault and asked, "Boss, what if they don't let you set up a stall?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? If they don't allow me to set up a stall, I'll just go there at night. At worst, I'll just have a sniper fight."
Su Mingzhe had already thought of all the problems, so Su Daqiang didn't have to worry about these things.
After lunch, Su Daqiang took Su Mingzhe to the market management office on Guanqian Street.
At this time, market management is more active, and some stalls can be rented as long as you pay a fee.
But the rental fee is not cheap.
According to the minimum standard, a stall earns ten yuan a day.
If you pay monthly, which is a bit cheaper, it still costs 180 yuan.
The stall rental fee is really expensive, but the area is only about one square meter.
Su Mingzhe chose a place and got a stall certificate. He only had to pay a fee of ten yuan every day.
Su Daqiang just played a supporting role throughout the whole process.
Anyway, as long as Su Daqiang doesn't have to pay, he has no objection.
Su Mingzhe wrote the name of his stall and the business project. The stall manager was quite curious and asked a few more questions. He was surprised to learn that Su Mingzhe, a twelve-year-old boy, would be the future stall owner.
At that time, because the economy was deregulated, there were indeed young people among the people setting up stalls, but it was rare to see someone as young as Su Mingzhe.
