Chapter 9 The troops are divided into three groups
"Brother Liang, we are not students anymore, can you put it this way?" Liu Qiang came over and whispered.
"Bullshit, I'm not a student? Xiaomeng and Haibing are not students?"
"Yes."
"That's it. We sell Spring Festival couplets as a work-study program."
Having experience in his previous life, Xu Liang knew the importance of publicity.
Using the name of work-study program can increase sympathy points and increase sales. It is also consistent with everyone’s age and status, which is also the ‘selling point’ of their Spring Festival couplets.
As for the so-called face, he had completely lost it after entering society in his previous life.
The high-pitched voice and high-hanging banners quickly attracted many people going to the market.
In this era, telephones have just become popular in their area, and the people have not experienced repeated scams through telephones and the Internet, and their minds are relatively simple and compassionate.
Especially those who have children studying at home are more likely to empathize.
So soon business came to my door.
The old lady looked up at the banners and the young faces.
After looking down at the stall.
“Young man, how much does this Spring Festival couplet cost?”
"Auntie, we pay two yuan per door." Xu Liang said quickly.
"I want three doors, but two doors don't need door cores. You can replace them with the word '福' for me."
Ordinary farmhouse courtyards have two formal rooms, one large and one small. The doors of the main house and main house are different from the courtyard doors. They are generally half glass and half solid wood.
So it is impossible to stick a door core that is more than one meter long, so most people use the word "福" instead of the door core.
I bought twelve more blessing characters and fifty carrot coins.
"Young man, please calculate how much it is."
"Auntie, three doors are six yuan, each with the word "Fu" is fifty cents, and the carrot money is ten and fifty cents. The total is fourteen and a half yuan. We don't want the change. Ten Just four yuan.”
The old lady took fourteen and a half and handed it over.
“Auntie, I don’t want these fifty cents.”
“Take it quickly. The old woman is not short of these fifty cents. It’s not easy for you kids to sell Spring Festival couplets in the winter. Study hard in the future. ”
"Thank you, ma'am."
Xu Liang didn't refuse anymore, and quickly rolled up the spring couplets bought by the old lady, tied them with rubber bands and handed them over.
"Go away, ma'am."
The old lady took it with a smile and walked away on crutches.
After watching the old lady go away, Xu Liang turned around.
"Have you seen it? This is how Spring Festival couplets are sold."
Everyone nodded quickly, "I know, Brother Liang."
"Come here, I will tell you the price."< br>
Although there are many Spring Festival couplets here in Xu Liang, they can only be summarized into seven or eight categories, and the prices are easy to remember.
After the first customer came to our door, a second one soon followed.
During the Spring Festival, Spring Festival couplets are a necessity and every household needs them.
This time Xu Liang did not come forward, but asked Xu Meng to greet him by himself.
Although it was the first time for the little girl to sell Spring Festival couplets, she went to the market with him to sell vegetables during the summer vacation, so she didn’t have any stage fright.
Xu Meng ran over happily after getting the money.
“Brother, I made twenty yuan.”
Patted her head and said, "Keep up the good work."
"Gangzi, you are next."
Huo Gang nodded.
Maybe it’s the ‘work-study’ slogan that really works. Although he doesn’t have many customers here, they keep coming one after another.
Xu Liang also took the opportunity to let each of his friends entertain customers once or twice, thus accumulating a certain amount of experience.
In fact, this is not complicated at all.
Looking at the time, it was already eight twenty in the morning.
Generally speaking, the winter market only enters its peak period after 9:30.
At this time, the straw thatch of the greenhouse was pulled up, the eye of the wind was released, and there was time to go to the market. After seeing everyone get started, Xu Liang called everyone over.
"Gangzi, Hongchuan, Xuxu. This stall will be left to you."
"Brother Liang, you want to leave?"
Huo Gang said.
“We have three episodes today, Huantai is the first one, and there are also Gaolou and Beiyang.” Xu Liang changed the subject, “Remember, after today’s Huantai episode, we will not be there until the Chinese New Year. There are two markets. From now on, the three of you will be responsible for attending the Huantai Market.”
The market here is not held every day, but once every five days.
"I got it, Brother Liang."
Took out three pockets from the motorcycle compartment and distributed them to the three of them.
“You have thirty yuan for each bag to use as change. When you see someone holding fifty or one hundred dollars, you must check the authenticity. Anyone who receives a large amount of counterfeit money will have ten dollars deducted. Salary. "
"In addition, there are two hundred Spring Festival couplets of all kinds here today, and the prices have been told to you. I will sell the Spring Festival couplets later, and the fraction of ten cents or two cents will be waived in the final reckoning. Nothing else.”
“After selling it today, I will check how many Spring Festival couplets were sold and how much you should earn. If the final calculation shows that the difference exceeds 50, half of the salary of the three of you will be deducted today. .”
The harsh tone made the three of them pale slightly, indicating that they had experienced the cruelty of society in advance.
Xu Liang did not comfort him with gentle words. He was doing business, not charity.
"Gangzi, you are the captain here and are responsible for managing them. If anything happens, you make the decision." Xu Liang said seriously.
“I know, Brother Liang.”
Huo Gang said seriously.
Xu Liang patted his shoulder.
"Also, the food standard is two yuan per person at noon. Of course, if you want to eat better, that's no problem. You can spend your own money and it will be deducted from your daily wages."
< br>"Brother Liang, when can we go back?" Huo Gang asked.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon."
It's not the climax of the annual gathering yet. The gathering has basically dispersed at two o'clock in the afternoon.
"I'll leave this to you."
The three of them nodded solemnly.
"Everyone else, follow me."
He took the remaining seven people and rode a motorcycle three-wheeler all the way home.
Because the road was already familiar, we went very quickly and arrived home in more than 20 minutes.
Carry the wooden boxes containing the Spring Festival couplets and other sundries prepared in advance into the car.
“Do you all know about Zhulouji?” Xu Liang said.
"I know, it's just east of Zhu Liang."
"Brother Liang, I'll go over to Zhu Louji."...
After Xu Liang nodded, "Qiangzi , you drive.”
"Xiaomeng, Lao Bo, Hui, the four of you will go together."
Everyone nodded.
"Xiaomeng, you will be the captain of this team."
As he said that, he threw his pocket bag over.
"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely take care of them."
Xu Meng is confident.
She is 1.75 meters tall and does not look weak at all among the boys.
"Okay, let's go quickly."
Sent them off, Xu Liang took the remaining people and rushed to Beiyangji.
When we got here, after getting everything done, it was almost ten o'clock, and the crowds were already at its peak.
Fortunately, there were four of them to cope with it.
Unknowingly, it was noon, and we took turns finishing lunch. After gathering at two o'clock in the afternoon, we packed up and headed back.
"Brother, are you back?"
Xu Meng heard the noise and ran out. Liu Qiang and others followed behind, with excitement in their expressions. It was obvious that there was no shortage of sales that day.
