Chapter 43 The first step to success
Li Jihe also thought it would be better to sell them separately, so that if one end falls, there will still be another end.
He nodded and said: "Okay, but how should we distinguish this person?"
Pomegranate had already thought about it, and then said: "Only dad has been to Huangkou Town, so dad will take the two with him. Brother, let’s go together. As for me and the eldest brother, how about going to Dafengji?”
Before Li Jihe nodded, Li Rongzhang said eagerly, “Second sister, I also want to go together—— ”
Shiliu turned around and touched his head, "There's no need to go too far. Brother Zhang will be at home tomorrow grinding arrowroot with his mother and eldest sister, okay? When we come back tomorrow when business is good and we've all sold out, I'll take you there later." ! ”
Li Rong Zhang listened and could only nod his head and said solemnly: "The candies made by the second sister are delicious! They will definitely be sold out!"
The division of labor in selling candies was clearly determined, and then came the final step. What's important is how to sell their candy.
As Li Jihe, who has even been to the city and bought sugar in the city, even if he is not familiar with the prices and the purchasing level of the people these days, he still knows a little more than Pomegranate and others. Therefore, , the first one was stared at by everyone.
He thought for a long time before he said: "The cheapest sugar on the market in the city is caramel candy, which costs five cents a pack, and there are ten pieces in it. The most expensive candy is pine nut candy, which costs five cents. There are ten pieces in a pack of ten pieces, among which are lotus seeds, candies, almonds, etc., which can be found in twenty pieces or thirty pieces.
According to me, our candy, even if it is not as good as pine nut candies, is still more delicious than caramel candy. The small pack sells for eight cents a pack, and the big pack sells for fifteen cents a pack. What do you think? "
A few of the Song family members don't understand, and there are a lot of them who only know fifteen or eight cents. They have dozens of packages! If you buy them all, you can sell them for a lot of money!
< br>But Pomegranate shook his head, "Things are rare and expensive. There are many shops and stalls selling caramel and pine nut candies on the market, but ours is the only one! No matter whether it is in the market or in the city, there is no place to sell it. Based on this, how can the price be only so slightly higher than that of caramel? How is this different from cabbage in the field? "
If they themselves think that this candy is just cabbage, the guests will not think that their candy is rare.
"I think this small bag costs fifteen cents a bag, and the big bag costs 15 cents. Yes, thirty coins a bag, that’s about right! ”
Li Jihe's mouth opened wide when he heard this, "Is the big bag the same price as the marzipan?"
Pomegranate only said: "Our big bag is twenty pieces!"
Seeing that all the family members Frightened by her price, Shiliu couldn't help but start calculating the details with them. , "Our kudzu powder is so troublesome. It is labor-intensive. Even if it is sold cheaply, we will be sorry."
Li Jihe: But labor is the least valuable.
"And this Sugar, sixty cents per pound!”
Mrs. Song: Sugar is so expensive, but to make these candies today, the two kilograms of powdered sugar have not been used up
“And these two baskets of oranges also cost three coins!”
Li Jihe/Song: Ouch! These two baskets of oranges have been used up. These candies cost at least three coins?
Li Jihe immediately subconsciously calculated on his fingers how much money they could sell these candies according to the price he said.
Pomegranate looked at him for a long time without understanding, and hurriedly reported a number, "According to dad's pricing, our forty large bags and thirty-five small bags will cost eight coins in silver when sold out. Another eighty cents! Kudzu can be sold for one penny and two pounds. Taking into account labor and other factors, the total cost is five cents! In other words, if we sell them all, we will make less than four cents! ”
Li Jihe was surprised that his little girl settled the accounts so quickly, even faster than him, but he couldn't care less about his surprise. He was shocked by the four coins at first, "How can I make four coins?"
< br>That tone of voice that said that’s a lot made Pomegranate couldn’t help but have a heart attack. Although this is true, why make less when you can earn more?
The last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake sold for fifteen cents, and there was no shortage of people who were not short of money to buy it. This was her only piece of candy!
Ordinary people may be reluctant to spend the money that can buy a kilogram of meat to buy a pack of candy, but they spend almost half a catty of meat to buy a pack of malt candies. Then add a little more and buy a pack of this from Why can’t I try some candy that I haven’t eaten before?
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and all year round, people are the most willing to spend their money during this new year!
Not to mention people who are not short of money!
So, Pomegranate lied without changing his expression, "Dad, the God of Wealth said it would be better to sell it at my price."
Pomegranate said this, Li Jihe and the others Only then did I remember that their candy was made with the recipe given by the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth’s advice is unique! Why is it not valuable?
In this way, Li Jihe agreed with the price of pomegranates and set the price at 30 yuan for a large package and 15 yuan for a small package.
Early on the next morning, under the watch of the three people who stayed behind, the four people from Shiliu carried their tightly covered baskets and walked along the bank of the Qinghe River towards the entrance of the village.
After crossing the stone bridge at the entrance of the village and walking onto the dirt road for a while, we parted ways.
Before parting, Pomegranate Shao had to give her father Li Jihe some advice, "Dad, no matter if anyone buys it or not, the price cannot be lowered. It must be sold at the fixed price! If you can't sell it all, take it home!" Greet the guests as we practiced last night People, relax, with the blessing of the God of Wealth, we will definitely be able to return with victory!”
Li Jihe, who was returning with victory, didn’t understand, and was just wondering why the little girl spoke like this! Those who wear a set are indeed protected by the divine light of the God of Wealth.
He nodded vigorously, and couldn't help but tell the brother and sister to be careful and pay attention to safety. It's okay if they can't sell it. Remember to go early and come back early. It's very cold.
In this way, the four of them moved step by step in opposite directions, drifting further and further away.
The sun struggled to push away the clouds and mist, casting wisps of golden light on the earth.
Today is such a beautiful day!
We arrived at the big market all the way. The market was already bustling with people coming and going, people carrying baskets to buy vegetables, people strolling with their hands behind their backs, and street vendors shouting——
Pomegranate looked around and finally chose a perfect location.
This location is a three-pointed point. One end goes to the residential area, and across the bridge is the official road to continue to Luoshui City. It is a must-pass road with the largest flow of people. The other end goes to the pier, and the other end is the direction they came from. .
There are many stalls doing business at Sanchakou. Just take a quick look and see a candy seller selling melon seeds, peanuts and roasted nuts. As expected, they have been closed in recent years. This episode was much more lively than usual. !
Pomegranate and Li Rongzong stood in the gap next to a food stall. Pomegranate was about to let Li Rongzong hang a shelf specially made by Li Jihe to hang around his neck, which was similar to the street in later Republican movies. The kind that sells cigarettes and hangs them around the neck.
Without the cigarette clip, it is just a flat piece of wood, much lighter.
After carrying it, Pomegranate took out two large and small bags of sugar from the basket and placed them in front of him. Then he used a palm-sized dustpan to spread oil paper and put in bulk fructose.
After placing it, Pomegranate glanced at the passers-by and raised his voice: "We sell candy! Dear uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters! The freshest orange fructose! It's delicious and sweet! Don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look. Take a look!”
