The prices in small restaurants are affordable, you can have a delicious meal for just a few cents, and you can have a vegetarian meal for only 30 cents.
This store is very popular from morning to night.
This small shop now employs six people.
Ye Jiao came here to help as soon as she was on vacation. Ji Yang was not very concerned about money. All the money at home was in her hands. If she didn't come back, this person would be very arrogant and would take the money back from the store. Just put it on the bedside, wait for her to come back, check it out, and then take it to the bank for deposit.
The days passed.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of the year, it snowed heavily in the imperial capital, and Ye Jiao also went on holiday.
Locals can go back after just packing up, but foreigners may have to take a week's train ride.
"I don't even want to go back, it's too difficult." Xu Tao spread out on the bed, looking at the packed luggage, feeling hopeless, "It's still a hard seat, it's just terrible."
"You can buy a sleeper berth, and it won't cost much." Li Xin said as she sat on the bed and looked at her.
Xu Tao's expression changed and he laughed dryly, "I have no money."
The cost of a sleeper berth is several times that of a hard seat, and it may not be possible to buy one. Her family background is not good, and it is already difficult for her to afford school.
"We are also buying hard seats and traveling by train for several days and nights." Ye Jiao changed the subject and responded to her.
"It's super uncomfortable. My whole body stinks." Xu Tao looked at her and said after a while, "You're okay. My husband is with me. I can't even go to the toilet with my luggage alone. I can't even sleep." not good."
"The smell in the workshop is terrible. When are you leaving? You need to bring more food." Ye Jiao started chatting with her.
"I bought a ticket for next Monday, which is night." Xu Tao sighed, "I don't know what to bring if I want to eat. When will you go back?"
"We? It might be next month. We'll come back in a week. He has something to do."
…
The two were chatting, but Li Xin couldn't get in a word, so she insisted on interjecting forcefully, "Coming to the Imperial Capital just one week after the Chinese New Year? Isn't this too anxious? Do you want to sell tea eggs with him?"
In her memory, Ye Jiao's husband was still a countryman who set up a stall to sell tea eggs, and he still had a hard seat on the train for several days and nights.
Too poor?
"Yeah." Ye Jiao didn't deny it.
At that time, we had to come back to open a shop. It was a week after the Chinese New Year. Counting the time when they came up, people in the imperial capital had already started to go to work.
They want to make money.
"That's too late, isn't it? Are you so short of money?" Li Xin pursed her lips, "You can come back after school starts."
If it was before, Xu Tao could explain it, but now she is too lazy to explain and just ignores it.
Li Xin's life is too good, but her ability to empathize is poor. Not only is her ability to empathize poor, she also has a sense of superiority.
What should you explain to such a person?
The rest of the people didn't answer, and there was silence in the dormitory for a while. Xu Tao looked at Ye Jiao again, "I think your tea eggs are quite delicious. I want to buy them to eat. You can bring them to me next time you go back."
"No need to buy it, I will bring it to you when I go back this week." Ye Jiao smiled.
The tea eggs are indeed the signature of their store. They are sold out almost every day, and now they can sell more than 600 eggs a day.
"It's so kind of you."
"Really? I want it too."
…
Several roommates raised their hands, but Li Xin was ignored. She looked at Ye Jiao angrily.
Why is the other person so popular?
She also imitated her and bought things for people in the dormitory, but no one else wanted them, and some even tried to force money on her, as if they wanted to draw a clear line with her. It was so irritating.
Early January.
Ye Jiao was on vacation from school, so she came to the store to help out for a few days. During that time, the two of them went to a department store and bought some things for the family. ,
Ji Yang bought Ji's father and Zhang Yan each a cotton-padded jacket. Xuzhou is not close to the sea and seafood is precious. They also bought some dried seafood and some snacks.
On the 10th, the door was closed, and Ye Jiao wrote down the reason for the temporary closure and the resumption time on a piece of paper and pasted it on the door.
The two of them packed their things, carrying large and small bags, and waited for the truck at the train station.
There was no orderly queue for the train at this time. As soon as the train arrived, everyone squeezed up.
It was so crowded that it was so tight.
Ji Yang worked hard to find a way, then asked Ye Jiao to sit down and put the things up by himself.
They also bought hard seats. Where can I buy sleepers at this time?
Again, in the imperial capital, they had no relatives.
Fortunately, being with Ji Yang, Ye Jiao felt that it didn't matter where she was. This was how she came to the imperial capital before.
When she was sleepy, she would sleep against him. Ji Yang would hold her in his arms sometimes, and the food had been prepared long ago. She had eaten the meal he had prepared the day before, and it was still warm.
A few days passed quickly. Except for the smell on the train, which was a bit unpleasant, Ye Jiao got off the train and stretched herself and felt that she was in good spirits.
The next step is to return to the village.
In fact, she was a little scared.
She left without saying goodbye, but now that she's back, she doesn't know what kind of attitude Zhang Yan and Ji's father have towards her.
People of the older generation feel that their sons are their lives and must be at their knees, and they cannot travel far away.
Not to mention going to the imperial capital to accompany her to school.
"Let's go back." Ji Yang held her hand and walked out with something in one hand. "We need to take a ride from the county to the town first, and then we can go back."
"Yes." She held him on her back, and the warmth in her hands made his heart slowly calm down.
After returning to the town, they waited for the donkey cart, which could only take them a short distance. They had to get off and walk for another two kilometers to reach the village entrance.
It was not cold in Xuzhou, and the sun was shining again today.
…
"Let me tell you, the young wife of the Chen family cheated on someone with the boy of the Zhang family. Chen Nan was so angry that he died."
"His young wife is not a quiet one."
