EP 927. Restless Youth
From the conversation between Shi Xiaolei and Mr. Hyde, a piece of information was clearly revealed - after coming to New York for Halloween not long ago, the minds of some young people in the afterlife have changed.
Or seeing Skye still working outside, because she was touched by her behavior, and wanted to make money like her and contribute to building a better afterlife. Or maybe after being exposed to the prosperity of New York again, the impetuousness unique to young people that had been suppressed deep in my heart surged up again, and I had the idea of wanting to go to the colorful world outside... Anyway, , among these young strangers, there are indeed a few who have the idea of "coming to New York to find a job."
That's right, what they were thinking about was not to go to the small county town at the foot of the mountain, but to cross half the world and want to come directly to New York.
After all, they all look like foreigners. In the small county town at the foot of the mountain, although you can see some foreign tourists, there are very few foreigners staying there for a long time. As for finding a place to work, then It's even rarer.
On the contrary, the environment in New York is more suitable for them to hide their identities.
Of course, part of the reason is that I am interested in the U.S. dollars I earn here in New York.
"Indeed, having that guy who can teleport around can save a lot of trouble." At this point, Shi Xiaolei suddenly came up with a new idea: "Speaking of which, what if we let him purchase ingredients in China and then bring them here?" Come on... Let’s not talk about meat. The cost of vegetables is probably more than half the price, right?”
Take spinach as an example. In the vegetable market in the small county town at the foot of the mountain, it costs more than two yuan per catty. When converted into kilograms, it will not cost more than five yuan per kilogram.
And here in New York, even in those markets known for their cheap prices, the average price of spinach is not less than five US dollars per kilogram.
In comparison, the price difference here is almost the same as the exchange rate between the two currencies, at least six times more.
In addition, I open a Chinese restaurant, and certain vegetables that are usually used, such as leeks, lotus roots, eggplants, etc., are considered rare goods here in New York. Compared with domestic prices, the increase rate is higher than that commonly eaten by Europeans and Americans. The onions, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, etc. are higher... Calculate roughly, if Gordon is really allowed to serve as a buyer and purchase some ingredients from China and send them to the kitchen in New York, the operating costs of the store will be It can be reduced by at least 30%.
Although due to her small body and lack of strength and the inability to lift with her shoulders or hands, she rarely went to the market with Chappell to purchase ingredients. But on the other hand, because she is more sensitive to numbers and is good at playing with computers, whenever the store needs to take stock of the accounts, she will inevitably be asked to play the role of accountant.
She often has access to accounts, and she is always the first to figure out how much money she has earned. This sense of pride of being ahead of others more or less affected Skye... Well, actually, the experience of living on the street left a shadow deep in the little girl's heart, so Only then will she be particularly sensitive to the store's profits.
"Eh?!" Hearing Shi Xiaolei's unintentional words, Skye's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?!"
To be precise, I shouldn't say I didn't expect it, but I should say I didn't think of it.
Back when Shi Xiaolei was still working in the store every day, he borrowed the teleportation array of the New York Temple more than once to go to Xiangjiang to purchase ingredients. Although his purchasing targets at that time were mainly dried abalone, scallops, cuttlefish, pickles, bacon and other special products with strong regional characteristics, it is undeniable that every time he went there, he would bring some fresh vegetables and Soy products are back.
Go to places with low prices to purchase ingredients, make them into dishes in the store and sell them in exchange for US dollars. Shi Xiaolei has done this before, and more than once.
As an old employee of the store, Skye would not know these things. After all, she and Kang Na are very close sisters, and they have long known many secrets that the outside world does not know. Under this premise, Shi Xiaolei will naturally not avoid her deliberately, and there is no need to be careful about 'smuggling ingredients' The matter was hidden from her.
"Uh." Seeing Skye say this, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After imagining the scene when Gordon appeared as a delivery boy with a straight face, Shi Xiaolei laughed again: "I just said it casually, and I didn't mean to remind you. Do you understand what I mean? If you really do this , don’t tell him that I told you.”
"hey-hey."
Looking at Skye who was laughing awkwardly, Shi Xiaolei picked up a piece of diced chicken and stuffed it into his mouth: "Let's get down to business, what did your mother say? If I remember correctly, her reaction that day didn't seem to agree very much. You have worked so hard. God, you must have completely convinced her, right?"
"It's almost done." Skye pinched her thumb and index finger and made a small gap: "Mom, she is almost convinced. As long as we work harder, we should be able to get it done soon."
"Listening to your tone, you are taking the lead, right?" Shi Xiaolei became happy.
"No, I'm just helping to play the drums. They are mainly talking." Skye shook her head embarrassedly: "For example, Lincoln, for this matter, he has been pestering my mother recently, and he often talks to her. Moji.”
"Lincoln? Is that the boy who can discharge electricity?" Mr. Hyde suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Yes." Nodding, Skye looked at his father in surprise: "Do you remember him?"
"Remember, of course I remember." A flash of dissatisfaction flashed in Mr. Hyde's eyes, but in order to prevent his daughter from seeing it, he quickly made another excuse: "On Halloween, I heard that he put in a lot of effort... uh, I mean, when he comes to New York again, I would like to find an opportunity to treat him to a meal and thank him for coming forward that day."
"No need..." When she imagined her father and Lincoln meeting alone, Skye couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
In Mr. Hyde's eyes, her coy reaction made him misunderstand her even more.
Thinking in his heart, 'The little cabbage I finally found can't be eaten by a wild boar so quickly.' Mr. Hyde suppressed the jealousy in his heart and forced out an ugly smile: "I want it. I want it. If he hadn't taken action in time, maybe... Well, as your father, I feel it is necessary to express my gratitude to him. "
Still unable to see what Mr. Hyde was thinking, after a moment of hesitation, Skye finally nodded: "Okay, I'll tell him next time we meet."
Watching this scene from the side, Shi Xiaolei could hardly help but laugh out loud.
