Chapter 115: Business is booming
Passers-by followed the fragrance to find them.
"Hey, there's a new breakfast stall here, and it smells good!"
The man stopped in front of Qi Xiaoyu's stall: "How do you sell tea eggs?"
"Five cents a piece. You are the first to patronize my stall, if you buy more, five tea eggs will count as two yuan for you!" Qi Xiaoyu replied crisply.
When the man heard this, he was moved: "Okay. Then I'll buy five, and you can help me put them up. ”
"Okay!" Qi Xiaoyu picked up five tea eggs with a spoon and put them in a bag, and handed them to the visitor, "This is my exclusive secret tea egg, the flavor is unique, remember to come often!"
"Delicious food naturally comes. The man happily agreed, and after giving two dollars, he left with the tea eggs in his hand.
After the opening of the first business, there were constantly pedestrians coming around.
This one buys two steamed buns, that one buys a few steamed buns, some buy big fruit croquettes, and more, attracted by the fragrance of tea eggs, and a pot of tea eggs cooked by Qi Xiaoyu was quickly sold out.
By this time, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
There are more and more pedestrians.
Qi Xiaoyu's breakfast spot has attracted a lot of attention.
Most of them were curious about the new stall, and in this way sold some large fruits and croquettes.
"Little girl, your croquettes are very delicious, how do you make them?" Next to her, there was an aunt who also set up a stall to sell breakfast, poked her head over and asked.
She relied on Qi Xiaoyu's youth and didn't know much about doing business, so she wanted to learn how to make croquettes.
Qi Xiaoyu glanced at her, but smiled: "Auntie, this is my exclusive secret recipe, and it is easy not to pass it on." ”
The aunt's eyes flashed, and she hid her embarrassment with laughter: "You kid, don't say it if you don't want to say it! ”
However, I didn't ask again.
As time passed, after the tea eggs, the big fruits and croquettes were also sold out, and only a few steamed buns and steamed buns remained.
It's already half past eight in the morning, and the few remaining steamed buns have cooled down.
Qi Xiaoyu pondered, and if he continued to wait, it was estimated that no one would buy it, so he thought about closing the stall.
She had just started to clean up the stall when a man suddenly shouted in the distance: "Little girl, wait!
Qi Xiaoyu stopped moving: "It's you?!"
It was the first person to stop her.
"What's wrong?" the man walked up to him, and Qi Xiaoyu asked curiously.
The person who came ran a little anxiously, and spoke with a panting voice: "Little, little girl, your tea eggs, yet, are there any?"
Qi Xiaoyu shook his head: "The tea eggs are sold out." ”
"Sold out?so quickly?!" The visitor didn't seem to believe it.
He bought five tea eggs before, but because he was in a hurry to go to work, he didn't care about eating, so he took them directly to the factory.
No, there was a colleague in the factory who didn't eat, and when he saw the tea eggs he brought, he immediately begged for one.
As a result, this colleague was also addicted to eating, and ate four in one go.
He saw that the last one was also going to be lost, so he grabbed one back, who thought, just when the factory director entered the house, he might have smelled the fragrance of the tea eggs, and his stomach immediately screamed, and the sound was so loud that the whole office heard it.
He was embarrassed to eat the last tea egg, so he gave it to the factory director.
Who would have thought, after the factory director ate one, he was quite unsatisfied, and asked him where he bought this tea egg, which tasted good.
The implication is that the factory director hasn't eaten enough!
He immediately understood what the factory director meant, so he planned to take advantage of the workshop break to buy a few more for the factory director.
Who wants to wait for him to come out in a hurry, Qi Xiaoyu is planning to close the stall, and what makes him even more unbelievable is that the tea eggs are actually sold out!
How can tea eggs sell out so quickly?
"How many have you cooked?" the man asked.
"Fifty. Qi Xiaoyu replied.
This is the first time she has set up a stall, and she is not sure if she will be able to sell it out, so she cooks less.
In the last life, the breakfast shop opened by Qi Xiaoyu always had to cook more than 200 tea eggs, and in this way, it was sold short every day.
In the previous life, although Qi Xiaoyu married Qi Junfei early and abandoned her studies, when she opened a breakfast shop later, her favorite thing to do was to study all kinds of food and prepare various secret sauces.
Maybe it takes a lot of effort, and the food she makes is famous far and wide.
There are many diners from outside the prefecture, and business is unusually hot.
It stands to reason that the better the business, the more money you make, and you should do something bigger.
But Qi Xiaoyu was governed by the Qi family, and every time she earned a little money, she was bound to be snatched away by these bloodsuckers, except for barely making a living in the breakfast restaurant, she didn't have a penny left.
This made her in the previous life, even if she wanted to expand her business, she couldn't.
Fortunately, she was reborn, and God favored her and did not let her lose such a skill.
Qi Xiaoyu's food is undoubtedly very popular.
"You cook a hundred tomorrow. "That's human.
Qi Xiaoyu's face flashed with surprise.
In fact, the tea eggs are selling so well today, she instinctively plans to cook more tomorrow, and she will cook them according to a hundred.
So whether the person mentions it or not, the result is the same.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoyu didn't speak, the man thought that she didn't agree, and was worried that he wouldn't be able to sell the tea eggs after boiling too much, so he hurriedly answered: "I bought all the extra fifty." By the way, it's a deposit!"
He took out twenty yuan from his briefcase and handed it to Qi Xiaoyu: "If five or two yuan, fifty is twenty yuan, right?"
Qi Xiaoyu shook his head: "That's not right." ”
The man was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Qi Xiaoyu explained to him with a smile: "Uncle, when I sold your tea eggs before, I said that you were the first to patronize the stall, so I gave you a discount, and five counted as two yuan for you." Actually, in this case, I didn't make any money. If it is fifty tea eggs, and the price is still according to the price just now, I will definitely lose. ”
"I see!" the man suddenly realized, and then he was very embarrassed, "Then you say, how much money should I give?"
He threw the question to Qi Xiaoyu again.
As usual, if the tea egg is five cents each, fifty is twenty-five yuan.
Qi Xiaoyu obviously knows this truth as well.
"Uncle, you buy a lot, fifty tea eggs, I'll charge you twenty-three yuan. She erased the two dollars.
The man nodded.
Most of the tea eggs on the market are sold for seven cents and eight cents, and Qi Xiaoyu only sells them for five cents here, and he really doesn't make much. She wiped two more pieces off herself, and the price was indeed very cheap.
If there are more, I am afraid that the little girl will not make any money.
After all, there are still labor costs!
He happily pulled out another three dollars.
Qi Xiaoyu accepted the money with a smile: "Uncle, I'll still sell it here tomorrow." When the time comes, you'll come back here to me. ”
"Good. He wasn't afraid that Qi Xiaoyu would rip him out of his money.
If a food seller doesn't even have this credibility, what kind of business does he have?
What's more, twenty-three yuan is not much.
Even if it is really false, it will not lose much.
Qi Xiaoyu continued to close the stall.
After the man gave the money, he was about to leave.
But he had only taken two steps, and his stomach was gurgling.
Only then did he realize that the tea eggs he bought in the morning had been eaten, and he hadn't eaten any of them!
If you haven't eaten, your stomach can't scream!
He turned around again: "Little girl, do you have anything else to eat here besides tea and eggs?" Don't tell me, it's all sold out." ”
In the latter sentence, he asked half-jokingly.
Qi Xiaoyu's movements stopped: "I still have three or five steamed buns and steamed buns left." However, it is already cold, and the taste may not be good. ”
"It's okay, sell it to me. You just do the money as usual. The man said disapprerovingly.
Seeing him say this, Qi Xiaoyu didn't say anything, lifted the curtain on the steamer, and picked out the remaining five steamed buns with a bag: "Uncle, three steamed buns and two steamed buns." The buns are filled with celery and meat, and they cost one yuan. The steamed bun is five cents a piece, which is a total of four yuan. The buns I made have thin skin and thick filling, and they must be delicious. ”
"Hmm. The man took the bag from Qi Xiaoyu's hand, gave the four yuan, and left.
Qi Xiaoyu looked at the empty breakfast stall that was sold, and a deep joy swelled up in his heart.
Doing business for the first time in this life, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!
She packed up her things and pushed the cart back.
Next to her, a middle-aged woman who hadn't finished selling her food couldn't help but spit on her back: "It's still thin and thick, who would believe it!"
She also sells steamed buns, so she naturally knows how many more ingredients are consumed for stuffing buns.
Every time I make steamed buns, I can't wait for as little stuffing as possible.
But in this way, there are naturally many fewer people patronizing her stall, but this middle-aged woman still doesn't know it.
When Qi Xiaoyu returned to the rental house, Ma Suzhen was not at home, probably going out to do something, and she didn't care.
After unloading all the things in the car, Qi Xiaoyu closed the courtyard door and returned to his Westinghouse to calculate the income from selling food today.
"A total of 30 steamed buns and 20 steamed buns. Thirty pairs of large fruits and six catties of balls were fried. Fifty tea eggs were boiled. Well, one yuan for buns is 30 yuan, 5 cents for steamed buns, 10 yuan, 21 yuan for 7 cents for big fruits, 18 yuan for 3 pounds for meatballs, and 24 yuan for 50 tea eggs. These add up to a hundred and three pieces. After deducting the material cost of seventy-three yuan, that is to say, the food sold today made exactly thirty yuan!"
Qi Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
I earned so much on the first day, and if I kept this heat in the future, I would be able to earn my tuition fees in two months, and even a lot of living expenses!
"Go on!" Qi Xiaoyu was full of energy.
Today's tea egg business is very good, and the dozens of eggs left at home are obviously not enough to sell, so she decided to wholesale some eggs back.
After all, she also received twenty-three yuan from others for tea eggs, and she originally wanted to cook a hundred tea eggs tomorrow, plus that person's fifty.
Qi Xiaoyu decided to simply cook one hundred and fifty at a time tomorrow, and the savings were not enough to sell.
As for ingredients such as steamed buns, there is no concern about material shortages because flour is bought in bags.
Qi Xiaoyu said he would do it, and after collecting the money, he pushed the car and went out.
She buys eggs, mainly by going to the village to collect them.
Next to Gujia Town, there are more than a dozen villages, large and small, far and near.
The nearest village is also a thirty-minute walk from town.
Qi Xiaoyu did not go to the nearest village, but chose a distant village.
Niujia Village, it takes more than three hours to walk.
Although it is not the farthest from the town, it is enough to choke back and forth.
However, it may be that the village is far away from the town, and the people in the village, few of whom go to the town to sell things, are usually bought by merchants in the village at a low price.
Qi Xiaoyu had worked in the food shop business in his previous life, so he naturally knew that the eggs here were sold cheaply.
Merchants come to collect it, and the price is usually pressed to three cents a piece.
Qi Xiaoyu didn't do this, she raised the purchase price of eggs to three cents and five cents.
Although it is only five cents more, it is a considerable amount of money.
The people in the village thought that they could make an extra three or five yuan, so they all saved up their eggs and sold them to her.
It's just that Qi Xiaoyu's business has just started, and he can't eat so much, and this time, he only collected about fifty catties of five hundred eggs.
No matter how much it is, Qi Xiaoyu doesn't have so much money, and besides, her strength is limited, and the number of eggs is large, not to mention whether she is afraid of beating or not, just this weight, I am afraid that it is not easy to push.
This time, Qi Xiaoyu hurriedly collected five hundred eggs and returned to the town.
Back at the rental house, she began to boil tea eggs non-stop.
