Chapter 58: Preparations begin

The New Year is so short. After the Lantern Festival, the year has basically passed. Therefore, Xiao Yun must hurry up every day after the Chinese New Year's Eve.

He prepared all the materials needed for the new and improved rock sugar gourd. Then he began to engage in scientific research with Li Dazhuang in the kitchen.

Although Xiao Yun doesn't know how to make rock sugar gourds, he has eaten all those various varieties of rock sugar gourds.

So under Xiao Yun's description, Li Dazhuang began to study tirelessly.

Each fruit needs a different temperature when it is coated with sugar.

This is the experience that Li Dazhuang summed up after many failures.

Even in 2019, the price of walnuts was quite expensive. Therefore, Xiao Yun did not include walnuts in his list of making rock sugar gourds.

Now the types of rock sugar gourds they have researched include orange flavors, banana flavors, and kiwi flavors.

The price of these fruits was not low in those days.

After Li Dazhuang made these flavors of rock sugar gourds, he said to Xiao Yun, "How much are you going to sell them?"

Xiao Yun had also considered before that if they sold it at the same price as ordinary rock sugar gourds, they would not be able to return their capital at all, let alone talk about profits. But if it is very expensive, people will not pay a lot of money for a rock sugar gourd.

Unexpectedly, this problem was solved by Xiao Yun's father at once.

"You've been tinkering in the kitchen for so long, and that's what you're doing. Not to mention, these fruits are also delicious when coated in sugar. But it's a bit too much, and the four of us can't eat it. ”

Xiao Yun cautiously said to his father: "Dad, I'm not here to eat for my family, I'm here to sell." ”

"What? You're going to sell this thing for money? I'll just say that you don't do your job for a day, and you still don't admit it. You should not be a good worker, what can you do if you are a seller of rock sugar gourds? ”

Xiao Yun's father was so angry that he threw the rock sugar gourd on the coffee table all of a sudden.

"Old Xiao, can you change your temper? My son must be joking with you. How could he go to the street to sell rock sugar gourds? If he ran into our relatives and friends, it would be a shame. Isn't it? ”

Xiao Yun said to his mother very carefully: "I really really plan to do this. I think the new variety of rock sugar gourd I developed will definitely sell well, but I don't know how much to sell it for now. ”

Xiao Yun's mother was speechless all of a sudden, and a very complicated expression appeared on her face.

"Listen, this is the good son you have begotten. The more you mix, the more unseemly it becomes, you sell clothes, you sell clothes, we also admit it, and now we are engaged in rock sugar gourds. You're probably going to have to dig up a lot of. You've worked hard to train you to become a graduate of a prestigious university, and that's what you're asked to do? Let me tell you, you don't have to worry, you can sell it for two yuan a piece. If you can sell one, I'll call you dad from now on. ”

Xiao Yun didn't care about his father's fierce emotions and angry expression, he thought about it carefully, two yuan is almost more than double the market price, and it should be a price that everyone can accept. In particular, the rock sugar gourds they sell are different.

"Alright, then we'll go out of the stall first. ”

Xiao Yun had already prepared the things for inserting the rock sugar gourd. He and Li Dazhuang walked out of the courtyard gate with a sugar gourd stick.

Behind them, Xiao Yun's father's angry voice came: "I can't have a good time this year." How did I come up with such a thing?"

After Li Dazhuang walked out of the alley, he said to Xiao Yun: "Your father is very puzzled, how did he give birth to you." In fact, it is all the result of impulsiveness. ”

"Go, go, go. Can you put something healthy and positive in your head? When you get home, clean up all your discs that don't look good. When I saw it, I was upset. ”

"What, after the New Year, you still want to live with me?"

"Of course. After the Chinese New Year, I still have to run the foreign trade tail list, and I have to go to the south often. At home, I have to listen to my parents' nagging, and I want to hide quietly. ”

When the two of them came to the most prosperous street in Yueling City, they found that the number of people who came out to shop today was more than double that of yesterday.

People dragged their families and mouths, rubbing shoulders one after another, and their faces were beaming.

After Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang found the best position, they began to tear their throats and shouted loudly: "Rock sugar gourd! New original rock sugar gourd! How delicious and delicious, everyone come and try it!"

Xiao Yun's voice stopped after shouting for a while, but Li Dazhuang was still full of energy.

His cries have a long aftertaste and are so wafty that they can be heard by the whole street.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but admire Li Dazhuang very much at this time, and remembered that very classic saying, which was condensed into the essence.

Although Xiao Yun is close to 1.8 meters tall, his lung capacity is really not as large as Li Dazhuang, who is only 1.6 meters tall.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but say to Li Dazhuang: "How did you train your lung capacity?"

"Are you kidding, I also walked the streets and shouted back then. Although it has been several years, this ability has been engraved in my bones. ”

In a short time there were many people gathered in front of them.

"How do you sell this rock sugar gourd? Can the oranges be delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's sweet. Two dollars a piece, we are a new type of product, absolutely you are satisfied. ”

Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang focused on selling to parents with children, and the children were very greedy when they saw the new products that were different from the rock sugar gourds they usually saw, and they were clamoring to try them.

Some parents are soft-hearted and can't resist their children, so they will buy one.

When there were many children on the street holding the rock sugar gourds made by Xiao Yun and Li Dazhuang and eating them with relish, the other children also wanted to eat them.

So, they will follow Li Dazhuang's long cries to find Li Dazhuang and Xiao Yun.

Even in the 90s, when people's living standards were not very high, everyone was still very generous during the New Year.

After all, after a year of hard work, if you still have to buckle the rope during the New Year, unless this person is naturally stingy, or you haven't made any money at all this year.

Of course, unless it is the first case, the second case is basically rare in Yueling City.

Many people are employees of gear factories, and their salaries are very high. At that time, people were more frugal, so they said that they were very rich in money during the New Year, and they were willing to spend money.

Li Dazhuang and Xiao Yun stood on that street for more than an hour, and all the sugar gourds they brought out were sold out.

And there are many people who want to buy their sugar gourds and try them.

Xiao Yun then said to Li Dazhuang: "You hurry up and go home, mobilize my father and my mother, help you string up the remaining fruits of ours, and hurry up to make a batch." I underestimated our sales performance. ”

Li Dazhuang was quite excited. He never thought that selling a rock sugar gourd would be able to reach the point where demand exceeded supply.

Li Dazhuang happily returned to Xiao Yun's house and told Xiao Yun's parents that after they sold all the things, there were still people who wanted to buy them, Xiao Yun's father showed an expression of disbelief.

"The thing you made is really delicious. But if one sells for two dollars, will anyone really buy it? You don't want to sell it for a dime and then come and coax me. ”

Li Dazhuang saw that Xiao Yun's father didn't believe it, so he took out a large pile of banknotes from his pocket.

"It's all the money we make from selling sugar gourds. Don't doubt it anymore, you two, hurry up and help, or else we will delay our money. ”
