Chapter 6 Business
Soon, a middle-aged woman bought two meat patties, saying she wanted to take them back to her parents-in-law to try, and an older woman bought one. Meatloaf is for the picky grandson at home.
Seeing that the business was about to proceed smoothly, a woman with high cheekbones and a somewhat mean face sneered, "This person is very easy to deceive, and this meat pie is nothing more than... The dough is stuffed with meat, how can it taste better than others, and it’s two cents more expensive than others. If you ask someone to help you, so many people will be fooled. ”
That’s right. Is there some truth to that?
It’s not that people in West Street can’t afford so many meat pies, but they bought nine as soon as they opened their mouths. They looked like they were wearing ordinary coarse cloth and straw sandals on their feet. How can farmers who live a tight life be willing to spend so much money to buy meat cakes.
At first glance, it’s just a promise!
After thinking about this, those who were going to ask about the price of meat patties tied their money bags again after thinking for a while.
But the meatloaf half-covered and half-exposed in the basket looks really good, and the aroma is really tempting. It looks like it should be delicious...
< br>Just when everyone was hesitant and thinking about whether to buy a meat pie to try, the old woman who bought a meat pie earlier came back.
He looked in a hurry, almost trotting all the way, so that he was a little out of breath when he arrived at Xia Mingyue and Lu's stall.
"You, you meatloaf..."
The mean woman who made trouble before saw this and hurriedly came over, "It doesn't taste good."
Let's just say, a It's just meatloaf. One of the people setting up the stall is a young lady with thin skin and tender meat, and the other is a dark-faced woman who looks tall and thick. How delicious can it be?
"What!" The old woman waved her hands hurriedly, and after taking a few breaths to catch her breath, she continued to speak, "My little grandson is usually the most picky. He doesn't eat this, he doesn't eat that, but he just ate it in one go. After eating such a big meat pie, I was still straight "I'm complaining that there's not enough to eat!"
"I'll come over quickly and buy some more!" The old woman quickly took out the money bag from her arms and counted the coins to Xia Mingyue, "Give me more!" Here are four patties.”
"It's okay to have four meatloaf, but please forgive me for my words. Children are greedy and have no control over their mouths. If they eat too much, they will easily accumulate food, which is not good. If it doesn't work, just take one or two back to eat first. I will sell them here tomorrow. You can buy meat pie again," Xia Mingyue reminded softly.
The old woman laughed when she heard this, "You are an honest person and your voice is nice. Don't worry, I am an old woman who has a sense of proportion."
Reminder in place, Xia Mingyue didn't say much. She only took the copper coins and gave the other party meat pie. She smiled and said, "Go slowly. Come back if it's delicious."
With the old woman coming back and buying again, people who were originally hesitant stopped thinking so much and came over to buy one or two meatloaf to taste it.
There are gradually people in front of this stall.
When the woman who had made fun of him earlier saw this, her face turned dark, but she had no choice but to snort, then turned away with the bamboo basket on her arm.
Xia Mingyue's meat patties continued to be sold. About half an hour later, only the last two of the original small basket of meat patties were left.
“These two are for Dahu and Erhu to eat.” Xia Mingyue smiled and covered the cage cloth, “Sister-in-law, let’s close the stall and go home.”
“Okay.” Lu Shi responded with a smile, moved the small square table and went back with Xia Mingyue.
When you get home, pack your things and count the coins. A total of twenty-two meat pies were sold, and one hundred and seventy-six copper coins were received.
“My brothers and sisters, the meat used to make meatloaf costs about fifty cents, the flour costs about ten cents, the onions, ginger, seasonings, oil, salt and firewood cost about thirty cents, so we can earn almost more than eighty cents. ! ”
Mrs. Lu clasped her fingers to help Xia Mingyue settle the accounts, "This meat pie is selling well. I can make twice as much tomorrow. Based on the average daily income of 150 cents, I will earn more than 4 taels of silver this month. This is more money than military pay. "
"Brother and sister, I don't think you need to follow me to Sister-in-law Wu's house later. You can just make your meat cakes and sell them, and you won't have to worry about anything in the future!"
"This meat pie business is good, But I can’t do it alone, so I have to ask my sister-in-law to help me with some work. I’ll pay her for the work.” ”
One tael of silver!
Mr. Lu took a breath, and her shocked eyes stayed on Xia Mingyue's face for a long time.
Xia Mingyue probably has some misunderstanding about the lack of wages!
You know, Yueran Restaurant earns 500 wages a month, and when the news comes out, many people are rushing to go there.
"Brother and sister, this is too much money." Mrs. Lu hurriedly waved her hand, "I have to pay at least half of it. To be honest, if my brother and sister need my help, it will be fine even if I don't pay them. This time Two pieces of silver is really too much.”
"Sister-in-law, let's not talk about the money. I have a lot of work to do here. To be honest with my sister-in-law, apart from my better cooking skills, I don't have any other abilities. I have to count on my sister-in-law to help me make more plans and make this happen. The business will be better.” "
Seeing Xia Mingyue say this, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to nod, "Okay, let's go with what my siblings say first. Don't worry about this business. I will take good care of it. Get up.”
“I will walk around the streets in the afternoon and find a fixed stall. This way, I don’t have to go out to find a place every day, and I won’t have difficulty doing business with the stalls next to me. ”
“Let’s not buy the onions, ginger, and garlic used to make meatloaf in small quantities. In the past two days, I have found a farmer who sells vegetables. I want more at once. The price will definitely be cheaper, and they can also be delivered to us.” At home.”
"Yes, we have to talk to Butcher Hong about this meat. We have to buy meat every day. We will only need a lot more meat in the future, so we have to give us a low price..."
Lu was talking enthusiastically. Xia Mingyue's eyes widened in disbelief at first, and then she nodded approvingly.
Earlier, she wanted to bring Mr. Lu along to help with the business. First, she considered that Mr. Lu had a fierce temper and was more familiar with this place than she was, making it easier to do business.
Secondly, I also thought that since Lu Qiyan and Zhao Youcai had such a good relationship, if this business could be started, it would also allow Mr. Lu to earn some money to supplement his family's income and live a more comfortable life.
But now it seems that Ms. Lu is active in thinking and prudent in doing things. She seems to be well versed in business. She has simply found a treasure!
"Sister-in-law has thought it through, so I will follow what she said." Xia Mingyue couldn't help but curl her lips, "It seems that my sister-in-law is very knowledgeable about small business. Have you done such a small business before? ”
A layman wouldn’t be able to think so carefully.
