15. Chapter XV

At 7 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, Zeng Tong came to the store. The farmer's market is busy, this time is the time for the market stalls to buy, the market sells a fresh, many fresh fruits and vegetables are sold in the early morning harvest day.

Zeng Tong took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and the dry goods store and poultry store next to him had not yet opened, so he flashed in when the door was halfway open, and then closed the door again inside.

Turning on the light, Zeng Tong began to take out the vegetables he had prepared earlier from the space. On the first day of business, Zeng Tong only took out half of the space inventory, afraid that if he couldn't sell it out if he took too much, the appearance would deteriorate if he left it for the second day.

Putting the box containing the space vegetables on the shelves, Zeng Tong planned to wait for Xiaojuan to come over and discuss with her how to place these vegetables.

Because it was her first day of work, Xiaojuan arrived at the farmers' market 15 minutes early, found the location of the stall in her memory at that time, and looked at the brand-new signboard on it, "Eat Good Vegetable and Fruit Shop".

When I looked at the door, there seemed to be a light shining through.

"Could it be that the boss has arrived?"

Xiaojuan thought about taking out her mobile phone and dialed Zeng Tong's number, and after a while, she heard a bell ring from inside.

"Hey, Xiaojuan?" Zeng Tong said when he saw the caller ID.

"I'm at the door of the store, are you inside, boss?"

"Oh, yes, I'll open the door for you. ”

After speaking, Zeng Tong hung up the phone and opened the iron door.

Outside the door, Xiaojuan stood, smiling at her new boss.

"Boss, it's morning. ”

"Haha, I'm a few years older than you, just call Sister Tong, the boss sounds so old. Zeng Tong said with a smile.

Xiaojuan smiled after hearing this, and went into the store to help put the goods.

The two of them discussed and placed it at the same time, and the final result was similar to Zeng Tong's expectations, maybe it was better, after all, Xiaojuan has experience in setting up stalls, and she has a better insight into how to place the goods to attract guests.

Then Zeng Tong wrote down the prices of all kinds of vegetables and fruits on a piece of paper and handed it to Xiaojuan, telling her that on the first day of opening, there would be no discounts. The reason is that the new varieties sold are all new varieties of vegetables and fruits from the Agricultural Institute, and the quality is higher than that of ordinary vegetables and fruits, so the price is 20% more expensive than ordinary ones. Afraid that Xiaojuan would not believe it, Zeng Tong specially washed a tomato for her to eat, and after eating, Xiaojuan's doubts in her heart were dispelled, and she was immediately full of confidence in the future of this store.

"With such delicious tomatoes, other vegetables are just as delicious, and business is sure to be booming. Sister Tong also said that after the one-month probationary period, I will calculate the commission for myself, and I will work hard so that I can send more money to the hospital in the future. Xiaojuan thought happily.

I have to say that Xiaojuan is a good girl, and if she can make more money, she still thinks of the welfare home for the first time.

At about 8 o'clock, Zeng Tong and Xiaojuan put the display table at the door and started the first day of business.

Because he still had to go home, Zeng Tong handed the prepared change to Xiaojuan, briefly explained, and called himself if there was anything to do, so he left first.

When I got home, it was about half past eight, and Zeng Tong told my mother that I had eaten meat last night and went to exercise in the morning.

Zeng's mother planned to go to the farmers' market in the morning to buy vegetables, so Zeng Tong stayed at home alone, just in time to enter the space to prepare the follow-up planting plan.

Some of the leafy vegetables have been collected, and the stock in the thatched hut is still there, according to Zeng Tong's expectations, the stock can probably support the store for 2 to 3 days, and it seems that the next batch will be planted as soon as possible.

When I visited the farmers' market the day before yesterday, I saw a small amount of out-of-season fruits and vegetables on sale, and it seems that as long as it is not in large quantities, the occasional sale should not attract much attention.

It's just that the land in the space is still a little small, and some of them are planted with watermelons and cantaloupe, which still have to wait, and they are only now in the flowering period. Zeng Tong plans to harvest this batch of melon fruits, and then plant new fruits to open up new land.

The flowers and plants that I picked up at the door of the flower, grass, fish and insect market before are now in good spirits, although Zeng Tong still doesn't know anything other than azaleas, but looking at these flowers and plants is full of green, it still makes people feel happy.

Zeng Tong returned to the hut, found the leafy vegetable seeds that had not been planted before, and then came to the leafy vegetable field and began to replant.

On the leafy side, the amaranth is basically pulled out directly, so now there are some vacant places in the field, Zeng Tong plans to not think about other new varieties for the time being, and the replanting is still amaranth. After cutting a stubble of water spinach, as long as the roots are not damaged, it can continue to grow and continue to harvest after 2 days, and it can be eaten basically all summer.

Cucumbers, bitter gourds and peas can also be picked for a long time, don't worry.

After watering the fish after replanting, Zeng Tong fed the fish in the fish pond again, and thought that there was nothing to do.

Not long after I came out, I heard a conversation in front of my house.

“…… Okay, see you later. Zeng's mother entered the house while talking to someone.

"Mom, you're back. Zeng Tong hurriedly went over to help take over the trailer from his mother's hand.

"I'm back, when I was just at the farmer's market, I met your grandmother Wang, and we came back by car. ”

"Yes, how is it over there, are there a lot of people?" Zeng Tong asked tentatively.

"There were no people when I first went, and then your grandmother Wang came, and there were more people behind. I also saw your Uncle Tan's wife, I guess your father told him before, they all remembered, no, today the vegetable shop opened, and they all came to buy it. Zeng's mother said as she sorted out the fruits and vegetables in the small trailer.

"Looks like business is doing well. Zeng Tong listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I saw that although they didn't have many varieties in the store, they were of good quality, so I bought some of them. See which one you like to eat, and I'll buy more next time. "My mother has a good impression of this new variety of vegetables.

"I don't have to work so hard every time my mother goes so far, in the future, I will exercise and run over there in the morning, and I can just bring it back by the way." Zeng Tong also didn't want to be tired of his mother, and he brought it back by himself, it must be the freshest, and it was taken directly in the space, which was better than what was sold in the store.

"It's okay, but I still have to buy some meat or something, you won't look at it. But in addition to these vegetables, there is nothing in the farmer's market that is not available in the small market nearby, so I can go there to buy it, and it is close. ”

"Well, I'll be responsible for bringing fresh vegetables to the house from now on. ”

"Okay, that's up to you. Zeng's mother said with a smile.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Zeng Tong smiled and saluted a not-so-standard salute.

At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Zeng Tong went out under the pretext of having something to do and took a car to the farmers' market. On the first day of business, Zeng Tong also wanted to know how the business was today.

At this time, the farmers' market was almost the most lively time in the afternoon, and there was still a distance of about 10 meters from his own store. Xiaojuan introduced the price to people while bagging the bill, and there were still some vegetables on the countertop, which were a little sparser than those placed in the morning.

“…… Okay, please take your dishes. Xiao Juan, who was greeting the guests over there, saw her new boss in a blink of an eye. Just as she wanted to say hello, she saw Zeng Tong waving her hand, signaling her to continue to greet guests and ignore herself.

After waiting for a while, the guests were gone, and there were not many vegetables left on the countertop.

"Business is okay today, right?" Zeng Tong walked over and asked.

"It's good, the inventory is almost cleared today, and that's all that's left. Xiaojuan said with a bright smile.

"Yo, that's good, I thought there might be a lot left. ”

"Mainly people who came to buy at noon, and basically came back in the afternoon to buy again. Then I may have helped to promote it, so it sold a little faster today. Xiaojuan was not greedy for merit, and replied truthfully.

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to prepare more goods tomorrow morning, and I'm going to have to be busy tonight.

Zeng Tong entered the store and saw vegetable boxes stacked on the side, and there were 2 bags of vegetables on the shelves.

"This is from the dry goods store and poultry store next door, so I asked me to help pack it up and keep it. Xiao Juan saw that Zeng Tong noticed the bags on the shelf, and hurriedly said.

"Oh, have you paid?" Zeng Tong suddenly asked, Xiaojuan didn't know what the boss meant for a while, and whispered: "It's still ...... Not yet, I'll collect it now. After saying that, he hurried to the outside.

"Wait, that's not what I meant. Zeng Tong stopped Xiaojuan, "You take these and send them to the two next door now, just say that I mean, the new store is open, send some vegetables and fruits to them to taste, and take care of them in the future." ”

Xiao Juan's expression froze for a moment, and then she laughed.

"Hehe, I'll send it to them. After speaking, Xiaojuan took 2 bags of things out of the store.

Zeng Tong looked around the store and walked towards the small room inside, and as he walked, he could hear the sound of Xiaojuan talking to other people outside, and a burst of laughter came.

After a while, Xiaojuan came back, walked to the store to see that the door of the small room was open, and followed in, and reported to Zeng Tong: "Sister Tong, they are happy to receive something, and I also said that it was what you meant, but they still insisted on giving these." As he spoke, he took out a few eggs from the bag in his hand, as well as a handful of dried vegetables.

"Since they have given it, let it all be kept. Zeng Tong sat on the chair and said to Xiaojuan with a smile.

"Then I'll put this for you, and you'll bring it back later. ”

"No, you can take it back and eat it. ”

"How can this work, these are all your dishes from Sister Tong, how can you give them to me?" With that, Xiaojuan put down her things, exited the small room, and returned outside to continue to guard the door of the store and wait for the guests to come and buy vegetables.

Zeng Tong looked at Xiaojuan outside through the open door, and thought to himself: "She is a good girl who is honest, and if you look at it again, if your appearance is good, it is okay to turn positive in advance." ”

It turned out that Zeng Tong was testing Xiaojuan just now.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying it, the two can almost be said to be strangers, based on Xiao Pan. To see a person's character, we have to understand it from many aspects. From the conversation just now, it can be seen that Xiaojuan positions herself as an employee, and everything that is the boss is not her own.

Such an employee will not steal and cheat, let alone steal, and it is such a clerk that Zeng Tong lacks now.

After all, Xiao Juan was the only one in the store all day long, and if she wanted to make a small move, it would be easy.

After more than 20 minutes, Xiaojuan shouted to the small room: "Sister Tong, the dishes are almost sold." ”

Hearing Xiaojuan's words, Zeng Tong walked out of the small room and looked at the display table. There is indeed nothing left on it, there is still a small handful of small greens and a little peas, and there is not a pound together, it is estimated that others are too little, so there is left.

After thinking about it, I explained to Xiaojuan this morning, the price is not discounted, and it is estimated that it is the reason why there is so much left, if it was other vendors, they would have given these out as additives.

"Well, you can clean up these and take them back to eat. Take it with the ones you just delivered. Open today, there is no room left in the store, I gave it next door, you are our own store, also try these dishes. Zeng Tong excused.

The statement that she didn't leave anything was just nonsense, such a little thing, to be honest, Zeng Tong didn't pay much attention to it. And I'm going to go home for dinner later, how do you explain these things?

"That'...... Then I'll take it all back?" Xiao Juan heard Zeng Tong say again that she wanted her to take these things away, and asked uncertainly.

"Take it away, cook it tonight, and tell me how it tastes tomorrow." Zeng Tong said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, Sister Tong. Xiaojuan is actually very curious about the dishes in her store, but the price is much more expensive than ordinary ones, and she is reluctant to buy them, and now she has the opportunity to eat them for free, of course she is happy. And today, I saw some customers who bought more in the afternoon after buying at noon, and they knew that these vegetables and peas in their hands must taste good.

Then the two of them sat in a small room and counted the turnover for today.

“700…… 800…… 850…… The total is 892 yuan. Zeng Tong finished counting, and he was secretly surprised, according to the weight of the vegetables taken out in the morning, he also estimated what the turnover on the first day was. Half of it is today, there is nearly 900 yuan, of course, minus the rent and Xiaojuan's salary, and some miscellaneous expenses, today's net profit is about 700.

According to this calculation, in a month, you can fill the small treasury back!
