Chapter 409: Finally making money
Hearing the words of the hawker in front of him, Banggeng's nature of serving people who are ahead of him rather than those who are behind him, which was inherited from his mother, began to emerge again. Now that there are people who are familiar with the rules here, Banggeng plans to use the hawker in front of him to get to know the rules of this market better.

So Bang Geng handed the vendor another cigarette with a little respect: "Big brother, what's your name?"

In fact, Banggeng doesn't smoke much. The box of cigarettes on him was given to him by Qin Huairu. Even if he doesn't smoke, he can share cigarettes when something happens. Courtesy is always a plus. Qin Huairu does a good job in this regard. No one in the whole compound says that Qin Huairu does a bad job, except Li Shengli, who always ignores her.

During their conversation, Banggeng also understood the joy of the hawker in front of him. The hawker's surname was Sun, and he was a little older than Banggeng.

Just take advantage of the situation and call him "Big Brother Sun".

"Brother Sun, what's the situation on our street? How is the fee charged? Are there any vacant spaces?" Banggeng is not paying attention to these things now. He only cares about whether there are any vacancies here. If there are no vacancies, he will have to move to another place quickly.

"People here only come to collect money when the market opens. Each stall charges two dollars a day. If you want to find a place to set up a stall, there is an empty space over there. It used to sell small jewelry, but this place is not very friendly to these small jewelry." The vendor named Sun pointed to a corner not far away.

Bang Geng looked in the direction that the vendor surnamed Sun was pointing. The location that the vendor was pointing at was near the outermost corner, almost at the end of the street.

Banggeng thought about it and realized that he didn't know where to set up his stall. If he wanted to change the location, he could only look for another place later. Today, he could only set up his stall on this street. After all, he was selling things that needed to be kept fresh. If he was selling some clothes or small accessories, it would be okay if he didn't set up the stall today. However, he was selling grilled skewers. If he didn't sell the things today, they might go bad tomorrow.

Banggeng thanked the peddler named Sun, and then rode his tricycle to the place that Sun pointed to him.

This location is okay. It may not be very suitable for selling other things, but for barbecue, as long as the aroma of this thing can spread out, it will be no problem to attract some customers.

Banggeng moved the brand new barbecue grill off the tricycle, and then arranged everything. There would be more people coming here soon, and Banggeng planned to get ready as soon as possible.

Some fire starters were put in the trough. Banggeng used the sawdust shaved by carpenters, lit the sawdust and then put coal on it. He then took out the marinated beef and mutton skewers that had been prepared long ago from the tricycle. When more and more people started to come to the street, Banggeng also started his work.

Sha Zhu's secret recipe was still very effective. Although Bang Geng's cooking skills were not very good, these people still thought it tasted pretty good, so gradually Bang Geng's stall business became better.

It didn't take long before the sale started and as the cinema was about to start showing the movie, the number of people on the street suddenly began to decrease.

At this moment, two people came out from the corner of the street. They were wearing white shirts and had hats tilted on their heads. They walked like second-rate people.

As the two men came to the street, the people next to Bang Geng had their money ready. Bang Geng knew that they were here to collect the stall management fee.

"Hey, you're new here." Looking at this new face, Banggeng, the newcomer looked at him as if he was watching a monkey show.

Although he was unhappy with the looks in the two men's eyes, Banggeng did not get angry. He knew that he had to be cowardly when it was time to be cowardly.

For example, in the original plot, when Banggeng was sweeping the street, he endured the captain's sarcasm in front of others, and only threw the broom on the ground after people left. To put it bluntly, Banggeng is a guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

"Kid, pay your booth fee." The other guy had no intention of chatting with Banggeng. He took the money and prepared to go back to play cards.

Bang Geng nodded and took out two dollars and handed it to the person who was talking. "Brother Ma, how about we eat something before we leave? I smell the food on his stall is pretty good." The person who was talking before sniffed his nose, and he was a little greedy when he suddenly smelled the smell of barbecue.

"What are you eating? Let's finish our work quickly. Everyone is waiting for us in the house." The man named Ma Ge took a look at Bang Geng's stall. There were only a few skewers of meat on the trough. This amount was not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Besides, judging from the boy's appearance, it seemed that he was not allowed to take these things away.

These two people had also witnessed the previous crackdowns and did not dare to be too arrogant.

Banggeng is a coward when he should be, but sometimes he is quite unkind. In fact, he should hand the roasted meat on the trough to the two men. These skewers of meat are not worth much, not to mention that Banggeng uses a small skewer, so there is relatively little meat on the skewer.

"Forget it then, let's go back quickly. I must win all their money this time." The person who spoke first thought for a moment and decided not to eat. "Let's wait and see after we finish playing cards. If we're hungry by then, we can go out for a midnight snack."

"Hurry up, there are so many shops behind." Brother Ma was a little impatient. The stall fee was really cumbersome, and from time to time some people were unwilling to pay. During this delay, his position for playing cards was occupied by others.

The person who was scolded by Brother Ma grumbled in dissatisfaction and then continued to collect the stall fees.

Banggeng is a stingy person just like his father. He would never give barbecue to others for free.

Not long after the first movie was over, all the things Banggeng brought were sold out, but there were still many people shouting that they hadn't gotten to eat any.

Seeing that the business is so prosperous, Bang Geng decides to buy more meat tomorrow. Moreover, the task of buying meat can be handed over to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu has a pretty good purchasing relationship with the restaurant. If he brings the meat that Bang Geng needs, he can save a lot of money.

After extinguishing the fire in the trough, Banggeng told the people who were gathered around and didn't get to eat the barbecue to come back the next day. These people who watched the movie didn't care whether you came the next day or not, as they didn't come to the movies every day.

After packing up his things, Bang Geng looked at the streets which were still crowded with people, and his heart was filled with energy. He was almost forty years old, and of course he missed his wife.

After returning to the courtyard, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and three idle old men were all very concerned about Banggeng's business. When they saw Banggeng coming back, they all looked at him eagerly.

"They are all sold out." Banggeng said the good news with a smile. Except for Yan Bugui who felt a little regretful, everyone else was very happy.

Yan Bugui still felt sorry that if the items were not sold out, he could help solve the problem.

"Grandma, we have to buy more meat tomorrow. There is not enough to sell today." Banggeng parked his bicycle and wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging around his neck.

"Okay, I'll buy more meat tomorrow. You can take out the money and see how much you earned today." Jia Zhang didn't care whether Banggeng was tired or not, but asked how much money Banggeng earned today.

This can only be said to be worthy of Jia Zhang.
