In the afternoon, Wen Lan changed into the clothes she brought from home a few years ago, although the clothes were old, but they were still neat and clean, she joked to her father: "I am no longer the vice president of the company a few days ago, I am a cake seller, and the clothes should naturally be decent and in line with the identity." ”

Shi Wan smiled and said, "My daughter, she is beautiful in any clothes. ”

The father and daughter laughed and put the finished pastries into the tricycle. Coming out into the street, they parked their tricycles in a corner by the square and waited for their guests.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here to stop at this place, don't stay here, stay away. A middle-aged woman came over on a tricycle and pointed at Shi Wan and said.

"Oh, I didn't know there was a rule. Asked Lan said, "Auntie, it's the first time we've been selling things on the street, I don't know the situation, is the location here all booked?"

"You're quite kind to talk from outside, okay, let me tell you, the location is not booked, but you are used to setting up stalls, and it becomes natural to get used to it, there are customers around here, you go somewhere else." The middle-aged woman said.

Wen Lan felt uncomfortable when she heard people contemptuously call her "outside", but she had no choice but to endure it.

"Alright, Dad, let's go somewhere else. ”

"Outside, what are you selling?"

"Pastries. Shi Wan said.

"Sweet or salty?"

"Sweet, salty, plain. ”

"Is it delicious? I bought a salty taste, how many yuan a piece?"

"$5. ”

The middle-aged woman took out a 5 yuan sheet and handed it to Shi Wan, saying: "When I was in good health in my early years, I liked to eat sweets, but since I found out that my blood sugar was high, I can't eat sweets." ”

"Big sister, do you want it hot or cold?" Shi Wan said.

"Hot. ”

The middle-aged woman took a bite and said, "Ah, it's delicious, wait, I'll buy two more." ”

"We still have the original flavor. Shi Wan said.

"That's the plain one, the salty one. ”

"Good. ”

"Outside, your prices are set too low, and in this case, it will affect other people's selling of snacks. The middle-aged woman said.

"Oh. Shi Wan didn't know what to say, and after finishing the single, the father and daughter pushed the tricycle elsewhere.

Wen Lan pushed the tricycle, unconsciously lowered her head along the way, and met someone buying pastries on the way, basically Shi Wan communicated with others. The first time I sold cakes along the street, I was really a little unaccustomed to it, not used to people's eyes, not used to bargaining, and not used to some people's contemptuous name for them - "outside the road". But she told herself. We must insist, we must accept, we must smile, I am no longer the vice president of Zhengfeng Company, nor is I the so-called hero in the training in the provincial capital, I am Wen Lan who just came to Nanxin City, and I am a real "outsider", a weak woman who has nothing, sells pastries along the street, and lives with her father. She believes that as long as she passes today, she will be able to let go of everything tomorrow and get used to it the day after tomorrow. Shi Wan is generous, talking and laughing, without a trace of mental obstacles.

They came to a small park, and saw that there was a vacant lot at the door, so they parked the tricycle here, and not long after it stopped, business came, and one after another, the father and daughter did not expect that the business here would be so good, and soon more than half of it would be sold. But the good times didn't last long, the chengguan's car drove over, and the chengguan personnel couldn't help but say that they wanted to move Shi Wan's things to their car.

Wen Lan said: "We went to the street for the first time today to sell self-made snacks, we don't know the rules, please let us go, we won't sell here in the future." ”

"Everybody says so, it's not good to manage the city without a little bit of medicine. ”

"Leader, I'm telling the truth, it's really the first time on the street, I don't know where to sell and where not to sell, if I know that we can't sell here, we will definitely not sell, we are also people who abide by the rules, please, you see my dad is so old, it's not easy for us to come to live in the city,"

"If I don't confiscate your things today, you will set up a stall here tomorrow, just to make you remember it for a long time. A chubby chengguan officer said as he moved the steamer to the car.

Shi Wan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Leader, it's really the first time for us, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Zhang at the consignment station, I was still working at their consignment station yesterday." ”

A member of the chengguan team stared at Wen Lan and said, "Aren't you Mr. Zhao?"

"That's right, I'm Zhao Wenlan. ”

"Why are you here, this is your dad?"

"Yes. ”

"Since it's Mr. Zhao's father, forget it, just don't set up a stall here in the future, go to the residential community, you can set it up there. ”

"Thank you, thank you leader. Wen Lan bowed to the chengguan.

The chengguan team drove away, and Wen Lan and Shi Wan pushed the tricycle to the nearby residential community.

In less than an afternoon, 300 pastries were sold out. Wen Lan said: "Dad, it's still so early, let's go to the supermarket and the vegetable market to buy some raw materials, go to the vegetable market first, you are in charge of the vegetables, and then use the rest of the money to buy rice flour and cornmeal." ”

After a while, the father and daughter went home with a cart full of pastry ingredients.

At dinner, Shi Wan looked extremely happy, took a sip of wine, and said, "Dad has lived for more than 60 years, and today is the first time to be the boss." ”

"Dad, you're quite easily satisfied. Wen Lan said with a smile. Yes, in Wenlan's heart, her father is such a person, he never competes with others, he is grateful to others when he is asked to take a step, and he is full of smiles when he makes a little gain.

"I knew that my daughter was very capable and could do anything. Helping others to work and others rush to do things for themselves, as soon as they open, they will win, and they will definitely succeed in the future. Shi Wan took another sip.

"Dad, it's just getting started, today is the first day, and our good days are yet to come. I'm going to let you be, dang, what's that called, it's the emperor on TV. Ask Lan to see that her father is happy, so she simply makes him happy, and she is happy when her father is happy.

"Haha, I'll be the one I should. With such a good daughter, Shi Wan's heart blossomed.

"I also want to make everyone in Zhaojia Village rich. ”

"Yes, yes, the people in the village helped us like family, and we can't forget it. ”

"Dad, you can help me figure out what we have gained today. I thought about it for a while, and there are so many pieces of information worth paying attention to, one is that the taste of Nanxin people is sweet, followed by salty, and then plain; second, some people ask if it is cold, and some people ask if it can be delivered to the door like takeout. Wen Lan said.

"When I go out to carry them, some people are hungry and want to find something to eat, and it's good if it's hot for them to take with them. Shi Wan thought about the time when he carried it by himself, sometimes there was a lot of heavy work, and he also needed to eat something in the middle.

"Okay, then we'll start cooking early tomorrow morning, cooking while cooking, so that by tomorrow afternoon, it will be cold, and we can make as many as we want, make more sweet, and make less original. I also brought a notebook, and I needed to write down everything that needed to be sent to the point, "With today's opening, Wenlan is full of confidence."

"Good. ”

"But, Dad, there will be competition on the streets in a few days. ”

"Don't be afraid, what they make is definitely not as delicious as mine. Now there are only 6 varieties on it, and I can make more, but the wheat noodles are not served, and the meat ones are not served yet, and people can't compare to mine. When it comes to making pastries, Shi Wan is very confident and talks a lot.

The next day, they did more than yesterday, and with yesterday's practice, Wenlan adapted to the environment, no longer had so much psychological pressure, and was completely relaxed when communicating with others. In the small square in front of the Xinhua Bookstore in Nanxin City, there were two people who came out of the bookstore and said that they would buy one of each variety and try it.

"This thing is very delicious, I haven't seen it in Nanxin before. ”

"You're not local, are you?" said Ran.

"Yes, who of the locals still enter the bookstore now, we come here for a business trip, the evening car, and now there is still some time to visit the bookstore. It's a pity that I can't eat it when I go back. ”

"Why don't you bring a few more, and let the family try them. Wen Lan said with a smile.

"Okay, give me five of each variety, and let my colleagues in the company try it tomorrow." It would be nice if I could get there by courier. ”

"Yes, didn't you say that you can let your colleagues eat it tomorrow? It means that you are not far away, and the express delivery will arrive within two days, this pastry is vegetarian, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed in such a short period of time." "Leave a phone number, if your colleague eats it and thinks it's good, I'll send it to you if the amount is right." ”

The guest left the phone number for Wenlan, and Wenlan said, "Oh, it's Mr. Liu, thank you for taking care of the business, go well." ”

After the guest left, Shi Wan said to his daughter, "Lan'er, your ability to do business is also so good. If Dad does this business, there will be 6 at most. You're 30 more than I am in one go, and you still have a back hand. Ha ha. ”

Wen Lan said: "I don't know how to say it like this, I didn't deliberately think about how to do it at all." ”

"It's selling well today, there's not much left. Shi Wan counted it, and there were less than 100.

"There should be a wave of dinner later, and some people may eat this as a meal. Wen Lan said, "Dad, let's go, go to the door of the factory on the side and have a look." ”

"Ask Lan?" Just as they were about to leave, a car suddenly drove over, and the people in the car lowered the window to greet Wenlan.

When I asked Lan, it was Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng asked the driver to drive the car to the side and wait for him, and he got out of the car first to talk to Wenlan about something.

"It's such a coincidence that I met Mr. Zheng here. Ask Lan to say generously. At this time, Wen Lan, through yesterday's and today's exercises, has adjusted her mentality, and she is completely normal in the face of Mr. Zheng.

"Let's go ahead and take a walk, I have something to say to you. ”

"No, my dad is still here, he can't do business alone. On the one hand, Wen Lan was really worried that her father would not be able to do business, and on the other hand, she didn't want to talk to Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng took out his mobile phone to call the driver and told the driver to buy the remaining pastries at twice the original price. Since Mr. Zheng has done this, it is not easy to say anything to ask Lan, so he told his father to go home first and come back in a while.
