♂?,,
Several cries of surprise came from the side, which were emitted by the onlookers. One or two customers saw Li Dama being bullied and wanted to go up to mediate, but when they saw his huge fists, they quietly retreated. In this era, you can suffer any loss, just not a visible one.
Xiao Yu didn't care about Li Dama's threat at all, that fist was nothing in his eyes, but a faint smile appeared on his face at this time, "What for?"
Xiao Yu's words made Li Dazui furious, he raised his fist in front of Xiao Yu and shook it constantly, "What for? Just because of this fist!"
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "How about we make a bet?"
"What are you betting on?" Li Dama was somewhat surprised. Every time he showed his fist to someone, he would get a good intimidating effect. This was the first time he saw someone who didn't flinch. It seemed that this kid was itching for a fight and asking for a beating!
"Let's try it out, if I don't win, from now on when fellow villagers see me, they'll call me 'Big Brother', but if I do win, starting tomorrow, I'll leave this marketplace for good." Little Yu said the words one by one.
One of Li Dama's subordinates, with a pleased expression, said to Li Dama, "Boss Li, this deal is profitable. If we lose, it's just a matter of being called 'old master', and we don't have to spend any money."
Li Dama raised one foot and kicked the man's buttocks, cursing, "Get out of here, you crow-mouthed fool! How could Li Dama lose?"
Turning around to Xiao Yu, "There are too many people here, let's go to the small alley behind to compare notes. However, this is what you said yourself, if you lose, you'll have to roll out of the wholesale market by yourself, it's not me forcing you, and don't go to the market management office to complain about me."
This Li Damaizi is not stupid, after rolling in the wholesale market for so many years, he naturally knows the rules inside.
Xiao Yu nodded, "Don't worry, I keep my promises!"
Behind the market is a secluded alley, connected by a narrow door. Usually, there are not many people walking around, and this place has also become an excellent venue for vendors to resolve their personal grievances.
Li Dama Zi had his men guard the narrow gate and wouldn't let anyone else pass, while he took Xiaoyu through the gate and into the alley.
The onlookers all sighed, such a lively and energetic young man, who knows what he'll become when he comes out, alas, what a sin!
Two minutes later.
The two reappeared at the narrow gate.
One of Li Dama's subordinates came up, patting his horse's buttocks and said, "Boss Li, you're really something, settling the matter in less time than it takes to smoke a cigarette?"
Li Dama's head drooped, looking dejected, and upon hearing his subordinate's words, he instinctively threw a punch and cursed, "Damn it! The boss has been taken care of! What are you still standing there for? Come on and call the boss!"
After finishing speaking, he bowed respectfully to Xiao Yu and said, "Boss."
Everyone else was stunned, what? Did Li Damao lose? This is also too unbelievable, the so-called 'unbeatable in the market' Li Damao, actually lost to a half-grown kid? Is this kid a reincarnation of Huo Yuanjia? Or did Ye Wen cross over from another world? Is he that formidable?
Li Dama cursed again, and his three subordinates finally woke up like a dream, and they all came forward to pay their respects to the boss. The people around them were amazed, and everyone didn't know what method Xiaoyu used to make Li Dama obey him.
Xiao Yu didn't make things difficult for Li Dama and the others, warned them a few words, waved his hand to let them go. People like this just need to know their own strength, killing is not worth it, in the future they will be in the same market, lowering their heads without seeing each other, no need to become sworn enemies.
The people around watched Li Dama Zi and his gang leave with their tails between their legs. Although they had all sorts of questions in their minds, no one had the leisure to ask Xiaoyu why Li Dama Zi suddenly became so obedient. However, even if they were beaten to death, they would never believe that Xiaoyu could beat up Li Dama Zi. Since there was nothing more exciting to see, they all dispersed.
Xiao Yu had just returned to the store when Old Zhang led four or five fishmongers hastily to Xiao Yu's front, each of them holding something in their hands. The leader was none other than Li, the fishmonger who often came to Xiao Yu's store to eat noodles.
"Xiao Yu, Li... big hemp... where's Hemp?" Old Zhang panted as he ran.
"Dad, didn't you say something was going on at home? Why are you back again?" Little Yu hastily handed the old man a cup of water.
Old Zhang took a deep breath and continued, "I came back to get my things, heard that Li Dama was looking for trouble, so I rushed here. On the way, I met Li Tou and called some people from him to help out. How's it going? Has he arrived?"
"He came, but then left. Don't worry, Dad. We're in a society ruled by law now, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. I reasoned with him and presented the facts, so he couldn't make any unreasonable demands. See, I'm fine." Little Yu moved his arm towards Old Zhang's head.
Old Zhang saw that Little Yu was fine, and only then did he put his mind at ease. Li Tou was worried about the fish stall business, seeing that everything was okay here, he bid farewell and left. The two thanked Li Tou and the fishermen again before returning to the store.
"Xiao Yu, it's almost time to go to school, and you need to review your lessons again soon. What are the arrangements for business here?" Old Zhang took a couple of sips of water, and his expression finally returned to normal.
Lao Zhang's words hit small Yu's heart, if he goes to school, there will be no time to open a store here, the business here is easy to get started, and it would be a pity to give up. Moreover, after small Yu goes to school, tuition fees and living expenses will also be a large expenditure in the future, and relying solely on Lao Zhang's income from selling buns is not enough.
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I think I'll find a partner. This way, the morning oil strip business can be handed over to him, as for the spicy noodles, I will prepare the spicy sauce and soup in advance every day, and the partner only needs to pull the noodles. Moreover, after school, I can also come to help. What do you think?"
The production of oil strips originally had no technical content, and ordinary people could easily get started. The focus of this spicy noodle dish is on the production of chili sauce and the adjustment of the soup head, while others are not particularly special. Moreover, Xiao Yu also learned a trick from Master Guo, which is a foodie, and it's not easy to reveal it in front of outsiders.
Old Zhang naturally agreed with Xiaoyu's idea and found a partner, so his son could relax and focus on studying.
Thinking of doing it, Xiaoyu wrote a few recruitment notices and posted them on the door of the store and the utility poles at the entrance of the market. Looking at the recruitment advertisements standing with those old Chinese medicine treating all diseases, recruiting male and female public relations and other advertisements, Xiaoyu also shook his head. Anyway, first post it here to try, if can't recruit people, then think about other ways.
He doesn't have time for these things now, he has to put his main energy on reviewing and preparing for the exam. The exam a week later is a moderate test for him.
Xiao Zhou's old bookstore also did second-hand book business, with many textbooks collected from students at low prices. Xiao Yu flipped through them for half a day and easily gathered all the language, math, and foreign language textbooks for Shanghai high school grades 1 and 2 for five yuan each. Although the publication time and version of each book were different, the basic content was not much different.
Holding a thick stack of books back to the store, Xiaoyu's head suddenly became bigger. Finishing so many books in a week was indeed a fantasy.
Fortunately, I don't need a lot of time to sleep, so I can make full use of the evening to complete tasks.
For five consecutive days, Xiao Yu went to the market at 5 am every day to sell fried dough sticks, worked until 9 pm, returned home and studied until 4 am, rested for an hour, regained his energy, and then went to the market again, repeating this routine every day.
Every night, Xiao Yu spent the whole night reading, even with his superhuman energy, he felt a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, after moving to Old Zhang's house, his living environment improved a lot, and with the new skill "photographic memory" he learned, his studying became twice as efficient.
Xiaoyu's diligence was noticed by Old Zhang, who didn't say anything. His cultural level wasn't high, and he had suffered a lot when he was young. He thought that if young people wanted to make something of themselves, studying was the only way. Young people should have this kind of determination, not just being strict with others, but also with themselves.
So he not only didn't persuade Xiaoyu to go to bed early, but also often cooked chicken soup and other things to supplement his physical strength, allowing Xiaoyu to read with peace of mind.
On the fifth night, Xiaoyu finally finished reading all the textbooks in his hand, and he also did all the exercises on the book. The "photographic memory" skill was indeed powerful, and the things he read in the past five days were still clearly remembered in his mind, ready to be used at any time. Xiaoyu's confidence gradually increased as well.
The only thing that made Xiaoyu feel a little inadequate was that he had no experience in taking exams, the exercises in his books were scattered and he had never done a complete set of exam papers before, and he didn't know what form the exam paper would take when he took it.
The next day, he found Little Zhou and asked if he had any exam papers that he needed.
"Xiao Yu, I don't have the test paper here. This thing is worthless and nobody wants it. Let me think... you can try searching online, there should be a lot of them there."
"Go online?" Xiaoyu's glasses lit up, and his interest was immediately piqued by Xiao Zhou. This was something he had always wanted to try, but he had never been online before and didn't know how to do it.
Xiao Zhou noticed the difficulty on Xiao Yu's face, thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yu, today is the weekend, I usually stay up all night anyway, why don't you come with me? I can teach you, it's very easy."
"Great! In that case, I'll pay for the internet fees!"
Xiao Zhou was waiting for Xiao Yu's words. In his opinion, Xiao Yu earned much more money than him, so being owed 10 yuan for oil didn't matter at all.
