most charming

() Lin Tao was strolling on the street, sighing as he walked, he never thought that Wei Yuqing would make it clear and say, won't it be embarrassing to meet in the future?

However, he admired Wei Yuqing's courage, and he didn't know himself well, so he dared to confess his love based on wishful thinking. If it were him, he would dare to do such a thing.

I remember reading a book that said that women are always impulsive emotionally, and men are only impulsive when they are in the lower body. This is really true.

Walking all the way home, Lin Tao plunged into the bathroom and took a cold shower, then put aside distracting thoughts in his mind, sat cross-legged on the bed, hugged the "big ball" with both hands, and continued to practice.

This is the third time to practice internal strength, and Lin Tao feels that the scorching heat in his lower abdomen is not as strong as in the morning, or he can completely accept it.The scorching heat gradually turned into warm heat, and the left hand near the lower abdomen could feel the heat emanating from the body.

Lin Tao's mind went blank, and his whole body entered an ethereal state. He didn't think about anything, couldn't remember anything, and all his attention was focused on his lower abdomen.

The night passed.

When he wakes up in the morning, Lin Tao takes a shower as usual, and now he has to take a shower two or three times a day on average, especially after practicing, otherwise he can't go out at all.

Lin Tao set a task for himself. Today, he must visit more than four streets to find a suitable shop for the baked sweet potato shop.

The prices of retail properties in the city center are not cheap, and the asking price of public buildings in shopping malls is even more terrifying. Lin Tao began to think about the surrounding areas of the city center.

But after he tested it on the spot, he found that he still had to go to the city center, and the surrounding population flow was not enough to support the revenue of the baked sweet potato shop.

Parkway Mall has been in Junbei City for a long time. It is basically as famous as Junbei No. [-] Department Store. It is a place where the older generation likes to go, while young people prefer to go to new shopping malls such as Hualian and Metropolis.

For some reason, Lin Tao moved to the downstairs of Parkway. The first floor is all public buildings. Many sports brands did not rent counters in the mall, but opened their stores downstairs.The huge glass windows allow you to directly see the products inside, and the first floor is very close, you can walk in without waiting for the elevator, so the sales volume is much better than that of the sports goods counters in the mall.

Lin Tao went around to the north, and pasted a piece of paper on the window of a coffee shop with the word "chudui" written on it.

Lin Tao laughed at the time, it really didn't take much effort to get it, and there are still people paying for such a good corner.

To the north is a pedestrian street, and opposite is another large shopping mall. There are plenty of people-traffic every day. When people are tired from walking, they naturally want to sit down and have a rest. It can be said that the location of this coffee shop is very good, no It's a pity to know why there is a redemption.

Lin Tao opened the door and went in. Today is not the weekend, but also in the morning, so there are not many customers.

He stepped forward, and inside the counter was a man in his 30s, wearing blue overalls, greeting him with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

Lin Tao said: "I want to find your boss!"

"Excuse me, what can I do with our boss?"

"I saw the sign of 'Exchange' posted outside, and I want to ask your boss about the price!"

The man looked Lin Tao up and down, how many years younger than himself, is he really capable of selling the entire store?

"Why, don't you have confidence in me?" Lin Tao laughed, "Call the boss, I'll talk to him personally!"

Seeing his confident smile, the man also smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "I am the boss, my name is Zhao Ke!"

Lin Tao really didn't see that he looked like a boss, but he looked like an employee no matter how he looked, he shook hands and said, "Sorry, I really didn't see it, my name is Lin Tao!"

Zhao Ke said: "I really don't want you to see that running this store is just a hobby!" He smiled and made an inviting gesture, "What kind of coffee do you like, cold or hot? ?”

“Hot latte!”

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Zhao Ke quickly made two cups of coffee, drinking them in one cabinet and out of the other.

"The land is so good, why did you change hands?" Lin Tao asked.

Zhao Ke said: "Personal reasons, otherwise I would not sell!" He sighed, "I need a sum of money urgently, so the price will not be lower than your expectations."

Lin Tao laughed and said, "I'm not taking advantage of the fire, I can consider any price that suits me!"

"A set price of 65!" Zhao Ke said with some reluctance, "All the equipment in the store is very high-end, plus the location, I am really at a loss."

The price of 65 is similar to what Guo Yiling explained, and it is still within the acceptable range. Lin Tao nodded and said, "It's not expensive, we can discuss it later!"

"If you want to cut as much as you want, just quote directly. If you can, we can discuss it. If you can't, let's make friends!" Zhao Ke is also a happy person.

"Actually, I don't need these things of yours..." Lin Tao scanned around and continued, "Why don't I contact you for you and sell it for a price!"

Zhao Ke said with a strange expression: "Brother, aren't you making fun of me?"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Do you think I look like that kind of lazy person? To tell you the truth, I plan to open a baked sweet potato shop, and I don't need any of the things in your shop!"

Zhao Ke's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Isn't it a waste to open a baked sweet potato shop for such a big store?"

"This can be reconsidered later, I am optimistic about this corner."

Zhao Ke laughed and said: "I can tell, you are really not short of money!"

"It's not so absolute, I will definitely not spend big money!" Lin Tao also laughed.

"Your proposal is very good, but in practice, you can only go to Cao to do it! I will give you another 2 yuan lower price, and it will be considered as running money for contacting the sale of the machine. This is the lowest price!"

Lin Tao thought about it, and it was not unacceptable, but he should wait for Guo Yiling to come to determine whether the entire store can be sold.

"Okay, I've remembered the price, and I'll bring someone over for a field trip tomorrow!"

Zhao Ke nodded and said, "Okay, then when will you come over tomorrow, I'll wait for you."

"Let's call!" Lin Tao picked up the business card on the table and shook it, "That's it, I'll come back tomorrow."

After coming out of the coffee shop, Lin Tao contacted Guo Yiling and told about the location and environment of the shop, but it was up to her to make the final decision.

After finishing the call, Lin Tao took a taxi to the high-tech zone. After contacting Ma Zhiqiang, he found him in a small corner that was not easy to find.

"Master, why did you come here?" Lin Tao asked with a smile.

"I'm a little tired all of a sudden. Find a place to rest. The city management won't come here to investigate. It's safer!" Ma Zhiqiang's face turned pale.

Lin Tao said: "Let's go to the hospital and have a look, don't hold back!"

Ma Zhiqiang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, people are getting old, and their health is getting worse and worse. Don't worry, just rest for a while and you'll be fine!"

Lin Tao bought two bottles of water in a nearby small supermarket, put them in the stainless steel lunch box that Ma Zhiqiang usually used for eating, put them on the oven, and waited for the water to boil before pouring out some for him.

After drinking some hot water, Ma Zhiqiang's complexion improved a little.

"Do you have time to learn how to bake sweet potatoes today?" he asked.

Lin Tao said: "Yes, here we come!"

"Okay, then I will teach you now!"

Lin Tao asked worriedly, "Do you want to take a break?"

"It's okay, my health is not that bad, and I don't do any physical work!" Ma Zhiqiang waved his hand, pulled out two raw sweet potatoes, and began to demonstrate to Lin Tao.

The three elements of roasted sweet potatoes are sweet potato quality, heat, and time. All three are indispensable, otherwise the taste will be much worse, or the skin will be burnt, or it will not be sweet.

In Ma Zhiqiang's view, as long as one knows how to roast sweet potatoes, everyone knows these three points, but how to ensure the accuracy is not something ordinary people can do.

Lin Tao read it three times in a row, and he was just getting started, but the first sweet potato he started to bake was mushy.

Ma Zhiqiang said with a chuckle: "The heat and time are related to the size of sweet potatoes. You can't copy my previous actions. You have to keep trying to find the most suitable time."

Lin Tao nodded and said, "Understood!"

Everything in the world is knowledge, this old saying is really true.

"Okay, I'm going to close the stall today." Ma Zhiqiang stood up and tapped his waist with his hands.

"Master, I'll help you send it back!"

Maybe it was because the two were close enough, Ma Zhiqiang didn't refuse, simply cleaned up the cart, and then handed it over to Lin Tao.

The two walked and chatted like this, walked out of the bustling neighborhood of the high-tech zone, and came to the nearby villages and towns that were not yet fully developed.

Thanks to the establishment of the high-tech zone, the income level of the people in the village has also increased significantly, and they have begun to renovate their own small buildings.Rural land is either collectively owned or privately owned. Assuming that the villagers build a small five-story building by themselves, they will be compensated according to the five-story area when they move in the future. .

Ma Zhiqiang's home is the only one-story house in the vicinity. The small courtyard is surrounded by wooden fences. Other homes have been replaced with concrete walls, which seems out of place with the surrounding environment.

There is a well in the small courtyard, and a large millstone that has been abandoned for a long time. On the side is a dilapidated warehouse. At first glance, this is a typical local household.

"The house is too messy, so I won't invite you in," Ma Zhiqiang smiled, showing a little helplessness in his expression.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Master, why are we being polite?"

Ma Zhiqiang began to tidy up the oven, taking out all the roasted sweet potatoes inside, and storing the raw sweet potatoes in a cool place.

He peeled all the ripe sweet potatoes, took out a clean enamel basin from the corner, put all the sweet potatoes in it, and placed it at the door.

"The wild cats and dogs nearby will come to eat when they are hungry, otherwise it would be a waste to throw it away!" Ma Zhiqiang explained.

Lin Tao nodded, lamenting the kindness of the old man, but ended up with no children and no daughters for the elderly.

The two chatted for a while before Lin Tao took his leave.

Standing in front of the door, Lin Tao saw two dirty wild cats, looking at him warily, and slowly moving towards the enamel basin.He took two steps back, and the wild cat still touched it cautiously. It is estimated that he was beaten a lot, and he became wary of people.

After a while, a lot of wild cats and dogs gathered nearby, but they got together without making noise. After Lin Tao retreated further, they started to line up to eat the sweet potatoes in the pot, without fighting or grabbing, in an orderly manner.

Lin Tao suddenly felt emotional, looked at the small one-story house surrounded by broken fences, and said secretly: "A good man will definitely be rewarded!"
