Chapter Twenty-Six: The Parents' Successful Attempt
When there is money to be made, Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping are very fast. They bought a pot and a steamer that night, and the next morning, the couple spent money on breakfast for the first time, and it only cost three yuan in total, but they went to seven places, and that night, they settled down to make steamed buns.
But the buns they are going to make are bigger, the size of an adult's fist, and the filling is absolutely sufficient, and one is sold for four cents, which is absolutely cost-effective. In this way, if you don't count the labor cost, you can earn more than a dime by selling a bun, and if you can buy fifty in a morning, there will be nearly ten yuan in the account. In case you can't sell it if you do too much, you can definitely sell it if you take back the rented place for three cents, and you can definitely sell it if you eat two of them.
On the first morning, they only made thirty because they were not sure. Came to the old place early, but no one patronized, and then the nearby commissary came to open the door, and the boss was also their acquaintance, and sold two, which was opened.
Then until it was time for class, a teacher, riding a bicycle to the school, saw their steaming, not like the original sugar-fried chestnuts, and took a look, and bought one each with meat and vermicelli. At lunchtime, a few sanitation workers bought a few, plus their own food, and half of the buns they made on the first day.
The next day, of course, still have to do, the first day of the sale is not good as they expected, just sell sugar fried chestnuts, the first few days, there is no one to patronize, and then there are repeat customers, regular customers and bring people over, only to slowly prosper.
Of course, they will not sell the rest of the first day, but stay and eat for themselves, and they can't covet a small bargain, which is also a concept that they have been changed unconsciously. These days, they know that the more small business like this, the more they should care about word of mouth, doing business like theirs, mainly facing regular customers, one person is dissatisfied once, it may affect a group of people.
The next morning, it was unexpectedly good, first several people from several small shops in the neighborhood came to buy, and then a group of teachers and students came to the school, it should be the free advertisement made by the teacher yesterday, so thirty will be bought in a while, and there is not one left!
Fortunately, Mei Qiuping thought thoughtfully, and thought in the morning, what if they bought it all at once today? So they brought a few leftover buns from yesterday, otherwise they would have to spend money to buy lunch at noon.
From the third day, the buns were fixed at more than 80 yuan a day, so that they could earn more than 10 yuan a day, but it was not so easy to earn more than 10 yuan. To have so many extra noodles and so many fillings, in the first few days, even if the two of them are used to working hard in the village, they are still tired and their hands are sore and their waists are sore.
In the second week, because they came to buy steamed buns and asked many times, they added another item, and in the morning there were not only steamed buns, but also soy milk to sell. So there was one more thing in the evening, grinding beans with a small stone mill.
At this time, you can buy a small refiner, but that is not cheap, and it needs to be equipped with a motor, and the motor is not cheap, and it also costs electricity, and electricity also costs money.
Anyway, I only make soy milk, and there are not many beans to grind every day, so let's do it manually.
There is an old street away from the rental house where Feng Zhenchang and his current residence are still thirteen stops away. Behind the old street are some old buildings in the Republic of China, across the road, is the Yangtze River.
Lao Cai should have been glorious in the early years, with grocery stores, small restaurants, barber shops, car repair shops, gas stations, and health clinics, so it must be convenient for those who want to live nearby.
Now the old street has lost its former glory. The shops on both sides of the old street are mostly wooden doors and windows, primary color, no paint, after the baptism of the years, the doors and windows have been blackened, and some have even decayed. The cement pavement is also broken here, there is a broken one, and in front of many shops, the road surface is black, and people who want to come to the store will splash sewage there every day. The floor tiles laid in front of the store, there are also no pieces, and they are not solid when they are stepped on, most of them are loose, and if you step on them, there will be sewage splashing.
Above the old street, there are various lines criss-crossed, densely packed, and on each telephone pole, there are leaflets and small advertisements of various colors stacked, and occasionally there is a plane tree of some age, which is also built with such and such things.
In the innermost part of the old street, there is a courtyard, and the front of the courtyard should have just been filled with cement, which is very smooth. The yard is some area, and on both sides are shacks, which are high and covered with asbestos tiles. Behind the courtyard is a small three-story building, which also looks a little old, the exterior walls are mottled, and the green paint on the window frames is peeling off badly.
At this time, the chainsaw that made a screeching sound stopped, and later the various sounds of other ping-pong also stopped one by one, and the courtyard was rarely quiet.
Mei Yiliang was wearing blue overalls, wearing a hat crookedly, and taking off his gloves as he walked. He walked into the office on the first floor and said to the old man who was smoking behind his desk while keeping accounts, "Master, I'll go to my sister's now, and I won't eat dinner in the factory." ”
Cai Dexiang raised his head, looked at his apprentice from the top of his reading glasses, took out one from the cigarette case on the table, and threw it to him, "You haven't been there for some days, how are they now?"
Mei Yiliang said, "It's okay, it's hard, but the income is okay, it's much more cost-effective than farming in my hometown." ”
Cai Dexiang extinguished the little smoke left, "Are you still afraid of hardship when you come out of the countryside?" Besides, as long as you can make money, what is the bitterness? You, you should learn from your sister and brother-in-law, it's not too young, and your temperament is still uncertain. ”
Mei Yiliang shouted, "I have already changed my master, you look at the factory now, is my craftsmanship the best? And I can even repair the machines in the factory now, and I just repaired an electric drill in the afternoon." ”
Cai Dexiang still went to keep his account, didn't raise his head, only waved his hand, "Got it, you go, ride slowly." ”
As soon as Mei Yiliang's car went out, someone shouted behind him, "Mei Yiliang, where are you going crazy again?"
He stopped the car, and saw Cai Hong, who was still wearing work clothes, walking towards him while slapping the sawdust on his body.
"Where else can I go, I'll go see my sister. ”
"Really? I'll go too. Cai Hong jumped into the back seat.
"Go, you can do it, but you might as well change your clothes!"
"Oh, yes, then you're waiting for me here, you can't run!"
"Okay, hurry up!" Mei Yiliang parked his bicycle, lit a cigarette, and stood there waiting.
Fortunately, the girl at this time has not yet developed a good habit of putting on makeup for at least half an hour before going out, and in less than ten minutes, Cai Hong changed a set of clothes and came out, a thin sweater with jeans, very refreshing, and probably washed her face.
Cai Hong sat in the back seat, hugged Mei Yiliang's waist without seeing it, and greeted the people in the store next to him all the way. She grew up in this area, and she is very familiar with these people, but Mei Yiliang couldn't let go, and pushed hard with her head down.
Cai Hong patted Mei Yiliang on the shoulder a few times, "There are so many pits on the ground, you are still riding so fast, you are deliberately making it bad, right?"
They went around the university town before they found Mei Qiuping and his wife at the gate of the High School Attached to Normal University. The students were almost gone, and they were about to return to the university gate.
Seeing her younger brother coming over with a girl from the city, Mei Qiuping was a little stunned, Cai Hong greeted her generously, and Mei Yiliang introduced beside her, "Sister, brother-in-law, this is my master's daughter Cai Hong." ”
"Oh, this is our own chestnuts, very clean and fragrant, girl, you can taste it!" Feng Zhenchang handed Cai Hong a paper bag.
Cai Hong was not polite, so he took it and peeled one, "Well, it's delicious, it's fragrant, it's a little sweet, and it tastes good." ”
Mei Qiuping said, "Yiliang, you are really, you don't say hello in advance, look at it now, we can't entertain well." ”
Cai Hong said, "It's okay, you're busy, I'll just take a look with Yiliang." ”
Mei Yiliang saw another pot and steamer on the tricycle, so he asked, "What are you selling here?"
Feng Zhenchang handed him a cigarette, "Yes, it turned out that there was no business in the morning, so we made steamed buns and soy milk, and dozens of steamed buns and soy milk can be sold in the morning." ”
"Oh, that's good, brother, your income is much higher than mine. ”
