Bao looked up and saw that it was his neighbor Ding. He replied, "One yuan each, Xiao Kun. Please try it. Uncle doesn't charge you. " I haven't eaten this kind of tortilla for many years. Ding Yuankun really misses it. While eating, he said, "Uncle Bao, isn't this cake too cheap for one yuan?" How's business? "
"alas!" Bao Shangcheng sighed and shook his head. "There is no business. People nowadays have never eaten anything delicious. This tortilla is out of date. " Ding denied, "Uncle Bao, this cake tastes good. If you sell it in another place, even if the price rises tenfold, people will queue up to buy it from now on. Do you believe it? " Hearing this, Bao Shangcheng gave a wry smile: "Don't make me happy. I just want to earn tens of dollars a day. " Ding said eagerly, "Uncle Bao, everything I said is true. Think about it, people in the countryside grew up eating this kind of cake, which is not rare, but people in the city have never eaten it. If you set up a stall in the city, ten dollars is not expensive. In this way, if you want to go, I'll help you find it, and I'll always be there. "
Despite Ding's hype, Bao was dubious, but he was helpless. His wife's illness needed money, so he could only agree to give it a try. When I first arrived in the city to set up a stall, passers-by heard that the cakes were ten yuan each, so they all turned around and left. At the end of the day, there was no cake to sell. However, the next day, business suddenly improved, and people who came to buy cakes lined up in an orderly way and swept away his cake according to the prior agreement. At the end of the day, he earned thousands of dollars and was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
The profits are so impressive that people are naturally jealous, so many people follow suit and set up stalls next to him to sell tortillas. Strangely, the followers had no business. Even though the price was reduced to 5 yuan, 3 yuan and 1 yuan, they still did it and finally had to leave. Bao has doubts, but after all, he earned his money on his own feet. As long as his business is good, why bother others? However, in this life, it is impossible for Bao to know the truth, because Ding will always keep it from him. In fact, all the people who buy cakes are Ding's employees. He invites employees to eat tortillas out of his own pocket, but even if they are delicious, they will get tired of eating them every day. At a meeting, some employees couldn't help but make suggestions and said, "Boss, can you stop inviting us to eat tortillas?" Let's change it. "
"Do you still choose food?" Ding sighed: "In fact, what I invited you to eat was not a cake, but a favor. I can't report publicly. "
"eh?" When the employees were puzzled, Ding said, "I was born in poverty. When my mother was very young, I left because my family was poor. My father raised me alone. Twenty years ago, I was admitted to a key university. This was originally a happy event, but before I could be happy, my father died after a long illness ... "
At this time, there were tears in your eyes. He went on to say, "At that moment, I felt that the sky was falling, and I wanted to continue my studies, but there was no money at home, and my relatives and friends were afraid that I would borrow money from them, so I never thought about borrowing money from anyone, because I had sold my black-and-white TV set at home and was going out to work."
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat depressing. Ding continued: "When I just walked out of the courtyard, I met Ding. I forgot to mention that he has no children because his wife is severely disabled, and his life pressure is very great. Even so, he told me-son, there is no future for working. You must continue to study. Are you short of money? Oh, by the way, I borrowed some money from your father earlier. Don't worry, I'll pay it back. You don't have to worry about tuition ... "
Unconsciously, I have already burst into tears. He choked up and said, "In fact, I knew at that time that my father had no money to lend to anyone. He said that because he didn't want me to think it was charity. Even when I went to pay back the money after graduating from college, he insisted that it was the money he borrowed; His wife was ill, and when I tried to help him, he refused. He said that he was too old to borrow money, and he was afraid he could not afford it. "
In the face of his stubbornness, I can do nothing but repay you in this way. For the rest of my life, may he never know the truth, suffer less and laugh more.
