Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 31 Borrowing money?

As noon approached, more people came.

The area around Jiang Cheng's stall was crowded with people.

Seeing that there were two stoves on the car, everyone started talking about it.

In fact, this is also expected. After all, many people did not buy it in the past two days.

However, when people saw Jiangcheng expanding in size, they still felt a little jealous.

The two pots of sweet potatoes were quickly sold out, and the area around the stall gradually returned to calm.

Jiang Cheng quickly placed the raw sweet potatoes on the table and threw one or two pieces of charcoal into the bucket.

Next, you have to wait another forty or fifty minutes.

However, Jiang Cheng's face was filled with smiles.

The two batches of sweet potatoes I just sold for 120 yuan. If I can maintain this momentum, it won’t be a dream to earn over a thousand yuan a day.

However, he also noticed the jealous looks from the surrounding vendors.

Jiang Cheng didn't think much about it.

After all, he was selling roasted sweet potatoes, and the vendors around him were selling other things, so there was no conflict between the two sides.

Moreover, because of the flow of people gathered here, it can also boost the business of people around.

What he didn't expect was that not long after, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties and about 1.7 meters tall came over with a flattering smile on his face, "Xiao Jiang, your business has been good recently? You opened another furnace today. You must have made a lot of money, right?"

The smile on Jiang Cheng’s face paused.

He had some impression of the middle-aged man in front of him. He was selling stinky tofu more than ten meters away.

He felt a little wary and deliberately changed the subject, "It's Uncle Xu. Would you like to try some roasted sweet potatoes? They're very sweet."

"Oh, Xiao Jiang, Uncle Xu, I also want to buy your roasted sweet potatoes, but I have no money on me." Xu Hai sighed.

Jiang Cheng realized something.

Did not continue to speak.

Seeing this, Xu Hai said with a miserable face, "Xiao Jiang, your Uncle Xu doesn't ask for help easily, but now there is really no other way. Business is not good, and the money I earned with great difficulty was robbed. Now I can't even afford to buy tofu. Xiao Jiang, can you lend me a few thousand yuan? For Uncle Xu to deal with the emergency?"

When he spoke the latter part, he deliberately lowered his voice and looked around.

Although Jiang Cheng had expected this in his heart, he still felt a headache when he heard the other party say it.

He and Uncle Xu were just nodding acquaintances. After all, they both set up stalls nearby and they saw each other every day. After a long time, they even knew each other's names.

With this kind of relationship, how can he feel comfortable lending money?
"Uncle Xu, I really want to lend you money, but I don't have much money on me."

"How can it be!"

Xu Hai's eyes widened. He had been observing the situation of Jiang Cheng's stall over the past two or three days. Today, he even added a stove. Even a fool would know that Jiang Cheng was making money.

"Uncle Xu, you should also know that I had a high fever a few days ago, right?"

"what?"

Xu Hai was stunned at first, then quickly nodded, "I see, that's good. I was wondering why it was your grandma who was setting up the stall. After asking, I found out that you had a high fever. Fortunately, good people are rewarded, Xiao Jiang, you are safe."

When talking about good people being rewarded, he deliberately emphasized the tone.

Little did he know that when he uttered that cry, Jiang Cheng's heart had already hardened.

This guy didn't even know he had a fever, but he still had the nerve to come and borrow money. He asked for a few thousand right away. He really thought he was stupid and rich.

However, he had no intention of exposing it in public, which would have embarrassed everyone.

So he sighed heavily, "Uncle Xu, you only know one thing, but not the other. During the three days when I had a high fever, I went to the clinic every day. Each visit cost more than a thousand yuan. In three days, I spent more than three thousand yuan, and I had to borrow money from others to pay for it.

Besides, it will be the end of the month in a few days, and the booth fee and management fee will have to be paid. Adding up, it will be four or five thousand. Uncle Xu, to be honest, you want to borrow money from me, but I still want to borrow money from others?"

Hearing this, Xu Hai smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, are you kidding me, Uncle Xu? How can a cold and fever cost so much money? Uncle Xu is old, and he can't take jokes like you young people." "Uncle Xu, I'm really not kidding you."

Jiang Cheng's face turned serious.

Minor cold or fever?
It was useless even if I went to the clinic.

Xu Hai looked around and stammered, "Xiao Jiang, how about you lend Uncle Xu two or three hundred for emergency? You should have two or three hundred on you, right? Since you set up the stall, several waves of people have come."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and stopped looking at him.

"Xiao Jiang, Uncle Xu is begging you to lend him two or three hundred yuan, please?"

"If it doesn't work, one hundred will do. Uncle Xu promises that he will pay you back as soon as he has money."

"Xiao Jiang, you can't be so heartless, right? We have been dealing with each other for several years, and you won't even help me with this little favor?"

Seeing that Jiang Cheng turned a deaf ear to him, Xu Hai stamped his foot fiercely, pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, "Okay, I see through you. You won't even lend me a hundred dollars. Fine, you have guts!"

After saying that, he walked back angrily.

"Jiang Cheng, is that guy here to borrow money from you?"

Lu Zicheng, who was standing aside, asked in a low voice.

"No."

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"?"

Lu Zicheng was stunned.

But he heard it clearly just now. You came to borrow money, right?

Why did Jiang Cheng say no?
"He's here to steal money."

Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said calmly.

"Robbery..."

Lu Zicheng was speechless.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is really possible.

Everyone has seen Jiang Cheng's business in the past few days. Even he is jealous, let alone others.

However, after seeing Jiang Cheng's attitude, he quietly gave up the idea of ​​borrowing money.

Not far away, Xu Hai gathered with a few stall owners, their faces flushed, pointing here and spitting.

The few people around him also looked indignant, and one could vaguely hear them saying that Jiang Cheng was selfish and heartless.

Jiang Cheng just pretended not to hear.

First of all, he really needed money, and it would be best if he could collect 5,000 yuan at one time to get a premium membership at the Flying Eagle Boxing Gym.

If it really doesn't work, open an ordinary membership for emergency use. This way you don't have to worry about encountering those thugs related to the Wild Wolf Gang.

Secondly, the door to borrow money cannot be opened.

Once this door is opened, even if you only lend the other party a hundred, then I'm afraid that people will come to borrow money every now and then.

If we don’t lend, those people will say, you have lent to so and so, why don’t you lend to us?

Last but not least, they were not qualified to ask him to borrow money.

If Mrs. Chen encountered difficulties, he would lend her even a thousand dollars, let alone a hundred, without blinking an eye.

But these people are just nodding acquaintances. Even if he sympathizes with their situation, his own interests must be prioritized.

Facts have also proved that after the other party failed to borrow money, his ugly side was exposed and he almost came over to point at his nose and curse at him.
