Chapter 248 A Work Called Gouqiu

After three days of depressing to explosive final exams, finally on the 29th day of the month, this devilish dark time ended.

A torrential downpour poured down the North River into a cool place.

Many places are flooded.

It doesn't seem like a good sign for the summer vacation to start in such weather.

But Wu Tao knew that compared with the great flood in 1998, this was really nothing.

At least it feels good to sit in the newly renovated Chuan Chuan Xiang Hot Pot City, try the hot pot at the bottom of the mandarin duck pot, and drink some beer.

An Rong was so spicy that she licked her tongue, but she still couldn't help scooping it up in the hot pot.

Wu Tao would not ask for trouble, Song Qiao kept filling the bowl for him while boiling the hot pot.

"Boss, according to your instructions, the shops on the side of the small commodity market sold 20% of the price twice, and the price has fallen back to the level of 70% increase."

Wu Tao picked up a very chewy beef ball, rolled it in the sesame sauce and said: "Okay, very good. I will continue to smash it according to the plan. No matter what, I can't let the price of the store continue to rise."

"Well, I got it." Song Qiao changed the topic: "Boss, look at the weather, how can our hot pot city open?"

Wu Tao was in no hurry, "Isn't it the opening day? Don't worry, the weather is not a problem."

In the years before the Great Flood, there were regular patterns in the climate.

At least the first two years of 1998 were very hot, and the heat was unbearable.

Especially the more torrential the torrential rain, the hotter the weather will become in the coming days.

What I am most afraid of is the kind of continuous rain, the next one will never end, and there will be a heavy rainstorm later.

"By the way, are the advertisements ready?"

Song Qiao's chest straightened out, black lace-trimmed underwear loomed under the neckline of her small suit, "I asked Jinling to shoot the ad, Miss Ding Tiantian took it, I think the effect is pretty good, and Sister Hua also approved it. You Do you want to take another look?"

"That's no need!" Wu Tao waved his hand, and put it in advance a few days before the opening, so don't forget about it.

"Then boss, on the opening day, you really don't want to come and cheer us on?" Song Qiao raised her pink lips, wondering inwardly.

Wu Tao smiled, "Sister Qiao, what difference does it make if I come or not? Why are you still obsessed with this? Don't worry, as long as you take care of everything and train new employees well, the business will gradually improve of."

"...Besides, isn't it enough to have Aunt Hua's support?"

Song Qiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Sister Hua misses you too..."

"Well, I'll invite two people for you when the time comes." Wu Tao patted the table and said, "Also, the safety issue must be emphasized to the employees at all times. Especially not to burn the customers, and the fire protection must be in place everywhere. Note Stay safe, no small matter!"

Song Qiao took out the pen and paper that she carried with her, and kept jotting down.

At this moment, Shi Guangyao came, holding two wine bottles in his hands, as if they were newly packaged Beijiang baijiu.

Blue bottle, curved body, gilt cap.

At first glance, it is unclear, tall and tall.

"It smells so good, why didn't you call me earlier when there was such a good thing? It's really not interesting~"

"I didn't call you, didn't you come too?" Wu Tao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shi Guangyao was used to being teased like this, "Don't look at me like that, didn't I bring wine this time? I don't have empty hands, right?"

The back kitchen pushed another cart of ingredients over.

Shi Guangyao didn't need to be greeted by anyone, so he cooked and ate by himself.

"How's the liquor sales going?"

"It's okay!" Shi Guangyao couldn't stop his mouth after eating, and he could only answer the questions casually.

"Looking at the way you eat, you know that there is a big improvement. Otherwise, can you eat?"

"Cousin, your method is really useful. Now Beijiang Baijiu Factory has opened up sales in Jiangdong Province. My dad also said that next year, he will go to CCTV to win the advertising title and try to promote it to the national market in one fell swoop!"

Wu Tao rolled his eyes at him, "This is not what Uncle Biao said, but you, right?"

"How do you know?" Shi Guangyao looked like a rabbit whose tail was trampled on.

"If you really do that, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to return my favor."

"It's not that serious, is it?" Shi Guangyao was dumbfounded, but he believed it 80% in his heart. There's no way, who made this cousin of himself, born to be more evil than himself?

"By the way, cousin, in a few days, Qianxue and Ziheng will be here."

"Come on!" Wu Tao didn't care, "But I don't have time to play with them at home."

"Then where are you going?"

"Go to Jinling, leave tomorrow!"

After lunch, the heavy rain outside also stopped.

Wu Tao rubbed his chubby belly and went out the door. Song Zhuang came up to him and wanted to open the door for him, but he waved his hand and strolled leisurely on the street.

An Rong also eats a lot, but the girl's elegance and restraint prevent her from being as shy as Wu Tao.

Instead, he tried his best to hold Wu Tao's arm, and bent his waist slightly, hiding his round belly.

The two chatted at the same time, and there was a long hiccup sound that complemented each other.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The streets washed by the torrential rain have washed away the filth of the old city and old streets, making them look extraordinarily refreshing and clean.

The façades of the People's Shopping Center and the department store have been washed away, making them look more and more old.

However, the bank building at the corner of Zhuanpan Street has already been capped, and will soon become a new landmark building on the entire Xingfu Middle Road Street.

After reaching Zhuanpan Road, the two turned right and entered an alley. After walking a few steps, he came to Qiu Meiren's photo studio.

Now it has a new signboard, called Xingfu Road Photo Studio.

Although there were not many people, the door was still wide open for ventilation.

Qiu Xiaotian sat inside, facing the drawing board, frowning in thought. It's just that the top of the head, which is as bright as a light bulb, looks a little funny with this scene, which makes people laugh.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qiu Xiaotian waved his hands without raising his head and said, "I won't take pictures today, come back tomorrow!"

Wu Tao couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Teacher Qiu, with your attitude, it would be strange if you can make a fortune opening this photo studio!"

"Why are you two?"

An Rong had already run over to look at his drawing board, with just a few strokes, the outline of a woman had already appeared on the paper.

"Hey, Teacher Qiu, are you planning to create a new work?"

Wu Tao heard, "Hey, Teacher Qiu, aren't you willing to bend down for five buckets of rice just to get married? Why are you picking up this unrealistic 'poetry and distance' again at this time?"

Qiu Xiaotian looked blank, "What poems and distant places?"

Wu Tao stretched out his hand and made a gesture, looking forward to the distance outside the door and said: "Life is not just about living in front of you, but also poetry and the distance!"

After teasing casually, Wu Tao didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Xiaotian stood up, grabbed his hand and said: "You are so right, this sentence is a true portrayal of my heart at this moment! I have decided, this work is called' Let it go'!"

"Okay, you finished the painting, sell it to me. I'll pay 99 yuan!"

"Why not 100?"

"One dollar less is for fear of your pride!"
