Chapter 56 Could it be that... you won the lottery?
Xu Ye went back to the dormitory and took a shower. He threw his sweat-soaked military training uniform into the bucket, poured a little of the laundry detergent Zhang Xinzhou bought, then lifted up his trousers and stepped on it with his bare feet.
This is the way most boys do laundry. It is undeniable that washing this way is indeed less labor-intensive than washing by hand. Whether it is dry or not is another matter.
After drying the clothes, closing the doors and windows, and turning on the air conditioner, the dormitory immediately became a 'wonderland on earth'. Xu Ye, who had been tired for half a month, started snoring regularly not even two minutes after he lay down.
The other three roommates were also affected by Xu Ye, and they all lay down on the bed and fell asleep. This sleep lasted all afternoon.
When Xu Yeyouyou woke up, it was already dark outside.
There are no classes, the shower is finished, the mobile phone is fully charged, there is no need to urinate, and the dormitory is quiet and tidy. This may be the happiest time in life.
If he wasn't a little hungry, Xu Ye would even want to sleep again.
Xu Ye came down from the upper bunk and had just put on his shoes.
"The vast horizon is my love, the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains, what kind of rhythm is the most swaying, what kind of singing is the most joyful..."
The cell phone in Xu Ye's pocket rang, and the passionate singing woke up all three roommates.
"Hey, Mom, nothing. The military training just ended today. I slept all afternoon. Now I'm going to get ready to eat. Oh, I have enough money. I know, I know."
As soon as Xu Ye hung up the phone, Yang Fei scolded his mother on the upper bunk: "Xu Ye, uncle, it's already 2014, can you change to a normal song?"
"Isn't Phoenix Legend's song normal?"
"Fuck, the first time I got up, I thought I fell asleep in the square."
Xu Ye said with a smile: "I have listened to all kinds of pop music before, but in fact, after listening to it, they only sing two things. The first thing is 'I love him and he doesn't like me, I'm so sad' , the second thing is 'I'm so sad but I don't know why I'm sad'. In the end, I still feel that Phoenix Legend's songs have the most positive energy. I feel relaxed when I listen to them. Every time I listen to Phoenix Legend's songs, I want to run on the playground. The impulse of three kilometers.”
"You're still doing the same thing."
Zhang Xinzhou took out his cell phone and checked the time, and then got off the upper bunk: "It's getting late, my brother should be here soon. If you want to eat, get up quickly."
Zhang Xinzhou changed his clothes and came down first to go to the balcony to make a phone call. Seeing that Xu Ye had also changed his clothes, he asked: "Xu Ye, where should we go to eat later?"
During the military training period, both Zhang Xinzhou and Yang Fei seemed to have habitually asked Xu Ye first when faced with multiple-choice questions. Subtly, Xu Ye also became the one who made the final decision.
"Let's find a restaurant to eat at the snack street near the school tonight. I have to go outside the school early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Xinzhou nodded: "That's okay. After eating, I will take my brother for a walk around our school."
After the four people decided where to eat, they quickly set off.
Zhang Xinzhou took his three roommates around to the main entrance of the school. After waiting for about five or six minutes, a girl with short hair and sunglasses walked over from across the road.
"This way!" Zhang Xinzhou waved hurriedly.
The girl pushed down her sunglasses, revealing a pair of smart eyes. After seeing Zhang Xinzhou and his group at the school gate, she quickly trotted over.
She has short hair that reaches her ears, and her hair is also dyed deep red. She has a light blush on her face. She wears a navel-baring shirt on her upper body, denim shorts on her lower body, and a designer bag slung over her shoulder. She has a very outstanding temperament.
Birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.
For someone who can be a 'brother' like Zhang Xinzhou, who is a second-generation person, his family background will naturally not be bad.
"Yan Qing, let me introduce to you my three roommates, Xu Ye, Yang Fei, and Li Tongwen."
The girl named Yan Qing by Zhang Xinzhou took off her sunglasses and said with a smile: "Hello~"
Xu Ye smiled and asked, "Is your name Yan Qing, or is your surname Yan?"
"The surname is Yan."
"The name is quite nice."
Yan Qing laughed and said, "Xinzhou, your roommate is quite sweet."
Zhang Xinzhou shrugged and said, "Let's go and eat first, and I'll take you for a walk later."
"What to eat?"
"Let's go to the food stall."
The five of them came to the snack street at the south gate of the school together. The military training had just ended and the street was full of people at night. Not only were the shops on both sides full of people, but even the roadside stalls next to the road were crowded with people.
The various aromas of hand-made pancakes, meat-filled buns, egg-filled pancakes, starch sausages, and fried skewers hit their nostrils, and several people who hadn't felt hungry at first began to swallow their saliva unconsciously.
"Crayfish, do you want to eat it?"
"Let's go."
Boys often make decisions in just a few seconds. The five of them soon arrived at a food stall. The proprietress handed Xu Ye the menu, and Xu Ye handed it to Yan Qing: "Ladies first."
Yan Qing was not polite and started ordering after taking the menu.
Xu Ye took advantage of the situation and asked: "Madam boss, there are so many people in the store, can we make a lot of money in a month?"
The landlady didn't expect that Xu Ye would talk to her. She smiled and said, "It's not bad. Business was a little better just after school started. When the weather gets cold, business will be average."
"I heard that the rent in Magic City is very expensive. For such a big store, it costs several thousand a month, right?"
The lady boss saw that Xu Ye was still a student, so she didn't hide it: "A few thousand is not enough. My place is about 150 square meters, and it costs nearly 20,000 yuan a month. But if the area is smaller, it will be much cheaper. The bun shop next door only costs 7,500 yuan a month."
"So expensive?"
"These days, doing business means working for the landlord." The lady boss sighed: "I don't know how many stores on this street will go bankrupt every year."
Xu Ye smiled and didn't say anything else.
Xu Ye could actually accept this price. After all, Shanghai is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. According to the lady boss, the unit price per square meter is only about 130 yuan. If you rent a shop of 50 or 60 square meters, the price will be between 7,000 and 8,000 yuan.
Xu Ye got the rental price from the lady boss, but he didn't know what business he wanted to do.
A milk tea shop is the simplest.
But it was no longer suitable to open a milk tea shop near the university in 2014. First of all, there were several stalls selling drinks in the school cafeteria. There were several milk tea shops on this street alone. The competition was too fierce. When Xu Ye came to the school to report on the first day, this idea had been passed.
"Xu Ye, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Xu Ye said: "Just..."
"Just what?"
Sooner or later, this matter could not be concealed, so Xu Ye said directly: "I actually have the idea of starting a business. I was thinking about doing some small business in school?"
"Huh?"
Yang Fei was stunned first, and he asked: "Xu Ye, you are not also a rich second generation, right?"
"Didn't I tell you that my parents are just ordinary employees in the unit."
"Then what do you use to start a business? Didn't you hear what the boss lady said just now? It costs 20,000 to rent a store. This kind of store must be rented for a year, and it costs more than 100,000 yuan to rent for a year. Even if it is not such a big one, it must cost tens of thousands of yuan. Could it be... you won the lottery?"
Xu Ye stared: "How do you know!"
