Chapter 27: Chapter 29 Gradually
Now that it was summer, the wall putty would probably dry in about two days, and he could get ready to open next weekend.
Initially, he had no immediate intention of opening a roast duck shop, because he didn\'t have enough capital to start one.
His goal wasn\'t just to open a roast duck shop but to create a brand like Jin Chen De Juxiang that was more than just selling roast duck.
His initial plan was simple: hire someone with a tricycle to sell roast duck to accumulate capital and build popularity.
This was also a way to test the market. Although the roast duck was delicious, he still felt some trepidation.
He lacked confidence when the delicious roast duck wasn\'t selling.
"Qin Hao"
While he was walking and pondering, Xia Qing\'s voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Hao looked up and realized he had unknowingly reached the entrance of his neighborhood, and Xia Qing was coming back from the opposite direction.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "What a coincidence, where have you been?"
Xia Qing: "I went to the park for a bit, and you?"
Qin Hao: "I also went out for a stroll, and now I\'m just about to go back and review my studies. Want a drink? My treat."
A smile crossed Xia Qing\'s face: "Sure."
The two went into the supermarket, Xia Qing chose a bottle of milk tea, and Qin Hao also picked a bottle of milk tea. After paying, they left the supermarket.
After exchanging a few words, Xia Qing went back home, not forgetting to thank him for the milk tea as she left.
Qin Hao smiled faintly; he was now a wealthy man, his monthly income higher than his father\'s annual one, though this income was somewhat illicit.
When he got home, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin were watching TV. They were surprised to see him return so soon: "Back already, Xiao Hao?"
Qin Hao nodded with a smile: "Nothing much, so I came back. I\'m going to my room to review now."
That day, he spent all his time on mock unified exam papers, knowing his current grades weren\'t good enough to get into Jianghai University, so he had to work even harder.
...
The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Hao went downstairs.
When he got to the neighborhood gate, by chance, he ran into Xia Qing who was also coming out.
Xia Qing said with a smile, "What a coincidence."
Qin Hao was also surprised, and they went to school together.
As the time for the unified exam approached, Qin Hao had been reviewing continuously, and his overall scores kept getting higher.
By Wednesday, the putty in the pool hall was done, and it was cleaned up. On Thursday, the three roast duck stoves ordered by Fatty arrived.
Kang Youyi even made a special trip to several roast duck shops in Jiangshan City to take a look, and then decorated the place based on one he thought was good, buying many tools needed for the roast duck shop.
After the pool hall was tidied up, it was already the eighth day.
That day was Friday, June 1, with five days left until the unified exam.
In those days, Qin Hao did mock papers during the day and reviewed after talking to Fatty at night, rapidly improving his grades.
Yesterday, his estimated score had reached more than 670 points. If he could maintain this score during the actual unified exam, there should be no problem in getting into Jianghai University.
Today, he finished another set of mock unified exam papers in the morning and the afternoon.
After finishing, he began grading his own paper. Du Wanrou, who was next to him, looked curious because she had seen Qin Hao check his scores many times these past days and was quite curious about the scores he had estimated for himself.
Once Qin Hao finished grading, Du Wanrou asked curiously, "How many points?"
Qin Hao saw her curious big eyes, not knowing how long Du Wan had watched, and showed a smile, "710."
