Chapter 166: A Day's Business
After Wei Guo finished helping Dong Mei, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Dong Mei, she said: "Wei Guo, remember to go to the street today, you must buy me a steamer." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Wei Guo turned around and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the unit to ask for a leave, and I'll go to the street to buy you a steamer." β
With that, Wei Guo left.
Wei Guo left, and Dongmei started her own business.
This morning, there is still only one breakfast for Dongmei, but it has been upgraded from porridge to eight-treasure porridge.
This can be regarded as an attempt and innovation of Dongmei.
When she saw that everyone was selling porridge, she thought, can we sell porridge in a variety of ways.
So, in the absence of a stall selling eight-treasure porridge around, Dongmei decisively launched eight-treasure porridge.
Compared with a single porridge, the eight-treasure porridge not only contains rice, but also dates, longan, lotus seeds, peanuts, raisins, etc., and Dongmei also adds sugar to the eight-treasure porridge, which tastes even better.
Although the price of eight-treasure porridge is three times that of ordinary porridge, when Dongmei introduced the eight-treasure porridge, it was still warmly welcomed.
Especially students and young girls love to drink eight-treasure porridge.
When the surrounding stalls saw that Dongmei's porridge was selling like crazy, they were all surprised, and they said in their hearts, what kind of porridge is this Dongmei selling, and it is so popular?
The wrinkled face of setting up a stall behind Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan is even more in his eyes and jealous in his heart.
She wondered, Dongmei is a woman, and she is also a woman, why does Dongmei sell what and what is popular, and she always sells what and loses?
Sister-in-law Tan next door was also very curious, she came to Dongmei's stall, looked carefully at Dongmei's sweet eight-treasure porridge boiled in the pot and said, "Dongmei, what do you put in this porridge, why is it selling so hot?"
Dongmei scooped a bowl of porridge for Sister-in-law Tan and said, "This is eight-treasure porridge." β
Sister-in-law Tan looked at Dongmei's porridge, adding longan, chains, peanuts and other things, and said in surprise: "Wow, I didn't expect that so many things could be added to the porridge." β
After finishing speaking, Sister-in-law Tan drank Dongmei's porridge and said, "Yes, your porridge is not only sweet and delicious, but also sticky." β
Dongmei explained to Sister-in-law Tan: "In my porridge, not only is there a big sale and millet, but I also add glutinous rice to it." β
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan suddenly realized, looked at Dongmei and said, "No wonder it tastes so refreshing, it turns out that glutinous rice is added." β
Dongmei looked at Sister-in-law Tan's rice noodles and wontons, and didn't sell much in the morning, so she picked up the eight-treasure porridge she had boiled and said, "Sister-in-law Tan, I see that you haven't sold anything in the morning, so it's better to pour half of my eight-treasure porridge for you, and you can also sell eight-treasure porridge." β
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Tan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Dongmei, your business is so good, how can I get involved in your business." β
Dongmei smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Tan, you have seen the outside, this is normal, there are no rules in the farmers' market, no one can learn from whom." β
Looking at Dongmei's kindness, Sister-in-law Tan told herself that she couldn't participate in Dongmei's business, otherwise it would definitely affect Dongmei's income.
Turning her head and thinking about it, Sister-in-law Tan felt that since the porridge sold by Dongmei was sweet, why didn't I sell some salty porridge?
So, Sister-in-law Tan said to Dongmei: "Dongmei, don't accommodate me, you sell your sweet porridge, and I am going to sell a salty porridge, so that although we are both selling porridge, the tastes are completely different, so we will not affect each other's business." β
With that, Sister-in-law Tan walked to her stall and began to try to make her own salty porridge.
I saw that Sister-in-law Tan's very creative porridge was filled with salt, and then some dried shrimp, preserved eggs, and lean meat were added and boiled together repeatedly.
After a while, a new porridge was created by Sister-in-law Tan.
Sister-in-law Tan simply named this porridge preserved egg and lean porridge.
When Sister-in-law Tan scooped a bowl of boiled preserved egg and lean pork porridge and brought it to Dongmei, Dongmei looked at the meat in the porridge and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law Tan, can you still put meat in the porridge?"
Sister-in-law Tan said confidently: "I not only put meat in it, but also preserved eggs and shrimp skin in it?"
Dongmei, who is a native of Guanzhong, has only drunk sweet porridge since she was a child, but she has never drunk salty porridge with meat and preserved eggs, she tasted it, and immediately frowned and said: "Sister-in-law Tan, this porridge you developed is too heavy-flavored, I can't get used to it at all." β
Obviously, Dongmei, with her own taste in Guanzhong, is very optimistic about the porridge made by Sister-in-law Tan.
However, Sister-in-law Tan patted her chest confidently and said: "Dongmei, I know that you Guanzhong people are not used to drinking this kind of salty porridge, but we people in the mountains of Sichuan like to drink this kind of porridge very much." β
Sister-in-law Tan's judgment is correct, with the hot sale of Dongmei Babao porridge, Sister-in-law Tan's preserved egg and lean porridge has also caught this spring breeze and sold very well.
Dongmei looked at Sister-in-law Tan, and after a while, she sold out the pot of porridge, and couldn't help but sigh that China has a lot of land and resources, different regions, and the gap between diets is really big, different tastes, different foods, and there are always people who like it.
And standing next to him, the wrinkled face that couldn't sell anything, looking at Dongmei and Sister-in-law Tan, who had made a lot of money just selling porridge one morning, was very red-eyed.
She was unwilling to think in her heart, what are these two women tossing, and the food sold so well early in the morning.
At the same time, he wrinkled his face and said secretly in his heart, Sister-in-law Tan, let you be arrogant for a few more days, I have already gone to Director Bai to expose you, and Director Bai has also made up his mind to drive you away, and when the time comes, as soon as you leave, I will occupy your stall, and then I will sell all the very prosperous foods you sell, and then sell them myself.
Thinking of this, his wrinkled face couldn't help laughing.
However, what she didn't know with a wrinkled face was that Dongmei had already gone to find Director Bai, and successfully settled Director Bai's idea of wanting to get Sister-in-law Tan out of here.
At noon, Dongmei was even busier, although she didn't have a steamer and couldn't steam xiaolongbaozi, but she used simple things at home to steam out Dalongbaozi.
She's going to put it on the market at noon to try it out and see how it goes.
Dongmei knows that no matter how much a chef boasts that the food he makes is delicious, if he doesn't put it to the touchstone of the market, then everything is in vain.
When Dongmei was shouting and selling steamed buns, the white-faced aunt who was selling authentic xiaolongbao at a stall next to her immediately set her sights on Dongmei.
She thought to herself, this employee's family is too good at tossing, and he dares to rob my business if he doesn't sell good pasta, and he really doesn't want to mix up.
In this newly built farmers' market, except for Dongmei, Sister-in-law Tan, wrinkled face, and Zhao Yanbo's mother's stalls are set up by the families of employees, the remaining stalls are basically stalls set up by local villagers.
At the farmers' market, the first red-faced aunt to sell meat buns, although she is not a local, her home is not far from here.
The second white-faced aunt who sells xiaolongbao is an authentic local, and her family lives on the hill behind the family courtyard of the Zuanyi base.
For her, this stall selling xiaolongbao is the lifeblood and income of their whole family.
The white-faced aunt has two sons, a four-year-old and a six-year-old, all of whom rely on the white-faced aunt to set up a stall to sell xiaolongbao.
And when the white-faced aunt saw that Dongmei also started selling steamed buns, she couldn't help but be shocked, for fear that Dongmei would steal her business.
However, when she saw that the buns sold by Dongmei turned out to be ordinary home-style buns, not xiaolong, she was relieved.
She looked at Dongmei with a smile on her face, and thought, "Okay, you are a family member, if you want to get involved in my business, it's not so easy, you just wait for the buns to not sell a single one."
As the factories closed and the schools ended, workers and students flocked to the farmers' markets.
Although Dongmei is working hard to promote her big buns, there are very few people who eat them.
Apparently, Dongmei's attempt to launch the big bun failed.
But Dongmei is not discouraged, she knows that there are gains and losses, where is there only success and no failure?
As a housewife, it is already very good that I have been able to get to this point.
If you escape because of such a small blow, then the long road ahead, can you go like this?
Dongmei's pasta still sells very well at noon, and like before, Dongmei's daily income is nearly 100 quick money.
The current Dongmei, it can be said, has killed the country in seconds.
Dongmei lay on the bed, counting the income in the money box.
When she added up all the change, Dongmei thought proudly that although she was just an inconspicuous food seller, her current income was even higher than that of the section chief of the unit.
Dongmei calculates an account, one hundred a day, three thousand a month, thirty thousand a year, and three hundred thousand in ten years......
Wow, what a scary number.
I am not middle-aged yet, and there is absolutely no problem with ten years of struggle.
If you can struggle for so much money, then the tuition fees for not only the two children of the son are enough for college, but also enough money for Tao Tao to marry his daughter-in-law.
Moreover, there is enough money for himself and the country's pension.
Thinking of this, Dongmei happily fell asleep.
When she woke up, Dongmei saw Wei Guo standing next to the bed as if he had made a mistake, looking at herself quietly.
Dongmei was stunned for a moment, and tried to open her eyes wide and said, "Weiguo, what are you doing, standing next to others like a ghost." β
Wei Guo said embarrassedly: "Dongmei, I didn't complete the task you gave me. β
Dongmei was waiting for Weiguo's xiaolong to come back, steaming xiaolongbao at night, and then selling it the next day, but she didn't expect Weiguo to sell Xiaolong back, Dongmei sat up directly from the bed and said: "Have you searched all over the county, just say no, didn't buy it?"
Wei Guo raised his hand and said, "I have not only searched the county, but also the city, and I have not found a place to sell xiaolong. β
Hearing this, Dongmei frowned and said, "No, I don't believe in such a big place, I don't even have a small cage." β
Dongmei knows that Wei Guo has always been in a hurry to do things, and he has forgotten the other after doing one thing.
Wei Guo nodded seriously and said, "There really isn't, I swear I've searched all the places I should be looking for, but there really isn't." β
Seeing Wei Guo's serious expression, Dongmei simply got up from the bed, got dressed and said, "Anyway, the county seat is not far away, since you didn't buy it, then I can just run it myself." β
With that, Dongmei got dressed and rode her 28 bicycle to the county.
Wei Guo grabbed Dong Mei, who was about to go out, and said, "Dong Mei, you still don't believe in me Wei Guo." β
Dongmei shook her head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just think your eyes are too small, and you may not see the place where Xiaolong is sold." β
Hearing this, Wei Guo said unconvinced: "My Wei Guo's eyes are small, but my eyes are focused, and my eyesight is not bad, if you don't believe me, then you can find it yourself, you will definitely not find it." β
After speaking, Wei Guo looked at Dongmei who was riding out, chased him out and said: "Dongmei, I think you have worked for a day, and you have to go to the county again, it's too hard, no, don't go, if you really don't believe me, I'll go, I'll ride the car, can't I find you another trip?"
At this time, Dongmei has already set off at a gallop.
She didn't look back and said to Wei Guo, who was standing at the door of her house: "Forget it, Lao Sun will go, and he will go back when he goes." β
Wei Guo looked at Dongmei, who was gradually disappearing, and said in his heart, I still don't believe me, okay, you go buy it, it must be the same as me, go empty-handed, and return empty-handed.
