Chapter 44: Profiteer Lin Caiwei
"Hey, little girl, bring me a preserved egg and lean porridge to taste", a middle-aged uncle walked up to Lin Caiwei and said, just on the side, he smelled the fragrance, which really made people appetite. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Okay, uncle, you wait a minute~", Lin Caiwei replied enthusiastically, quickly filled a box with her hands and feet, and after covering it, she put a plastic spoon on the box and handed it to the middle-aged uncle.
After finding two cents for the middle-aged uncle, she opened the pot of eight-treasure porridge again, filled a box full of it and handed it to a big girl in her early twenties, and said sweetly, "Sister, here you are, seven cents."
The eldest girl rummaged in her pocket and handed Lin Caiwei seven cents directly, without looking for it.
The third is a skinny little girl with a somewhat sallow complexion, who looks a few years older than Lin Caiwei.
She is obviously from a nearby village, generally economically backward, living a relatively hard life, and on market days, she will follow her parents to sell eggs, firewood, some self-picked mushrooms and the like.
The thin girl opened her nostrils, swallowed her saliva, glanced at Lin Caiwei timidly, and whispered, "I want a box of peanut porridge."
If Lin Caiwei hadn't been paying attention to what she was saying, she would probably have heard what she said, she smiled slightly, and said softly, "Okay, young lady, wait a minute!"
Reached out and took a lunch box, scooped a few large spoonfuls of porridge with a spoon, filled the box to the bridle, and then sandwiched some pickles, piled them high, and handed them to the skinny girl.
The girl took it cautiously, handed five crumpled dimes to Lin Caiwei, and then walked away with a little blush.
sighed, the people in the nearby villages are really not doing well, even if it is more than ten years later, they are too closed there, many children stop studying after junior high school, go home to farm and marry a daughter-in-law, and carry a child out to buy vegetables and the like when they are teenagers.
is also pitiful, it is all caused by poverty and backwardness, so Lin Caiwei is particularly sympathetic to them.
Among the onlookers, they saw that the people who bought the porridge were eating very fragrantly, and they saw that the pickles were free, and some began to come up one after another to sell the porridge by name.
Lin Aiguo and Guan Lanfen saw that their daughter was too busy, and when they came back to their senses, they immediately stepped forward to help, Lin Aiguo was responsible for collecting the money, and Guan Lanfen and her daughter served porridge to everyone together.
In this way, in about an hour, two-thirds of the peanut porridge was sold, one-third of the eight-treasure porridge was sold, and half of the porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat was sold.
At this time, the talent gradually decreased, and the time was less than nine o'clock, Guan Lanfen asked in a low voice, "Weiwei, why did you fill the lunch box so full, so wouldn't we lose money?"
"There will be no loss, even if the loss is only temporary, business must be delicious at the beginning, sufficient, and cheap, so that they will give us publicity if they eat delicious, plus it is delicious, they will come back to buy it, people say so in books, don't you see that there are a lot of people who buy it?", Lin Caiwei patiently replied.
"Then why did you give them some flavors to taste that they didn't buy?", Lin Aiguo also asked.
Lin Caiwei holds her forehead, honest parents!
"Then I'll give them a taste, they may have been too expensive and didn't want to buy it, but after tasting it, they thought it was delicious, and they thought we were generous, so they would naturally come back again, the same as before", she replied softly and quickly.
"Oh, that's it, I know, if we love the country, shouldn't we be like Weiwei, it doesn't seem to be anything", Guan Lanfen said after she understood.
"This-I'll take a look at it, hehehe", Lin Aiguo touched his head and said with a dry smile.
When Guan Lanfen heard her husband's words, she glanced back at him, turned her head and snorted.
Lin Caiwei smiled and didn't speak, she could understand her father's psychology, just take her time.
"Hey, little girl, bring me another bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge, I haven't eaten enough just now, I'm busy selling fruits over there, otherwise I'd have come here early", the middle-aged uncle who was the first to buy preserved egg and lean porridge with Lin Caiwei came over and said.
Lin Caiwei immediately replied with a warm smile, and by the way, she said, "Uncle, wait a minute, do you want to buy some eight-treasure porridge and try it, this is the favorite porridge of women and children."
"Yes, I don't like sweets, but my family likes them, so buy some for her to taste, then bring me a box of eight-treasure porridge."
"Okay, wait a minute, Mom, help serve a bowl of eight-treasure porridge", Lin Caiwei hurriedly called her mother for help.
Guan Lanfen didn't say a word, she gave it to the middle-aged uncle with her hands and feet, and handed it to the middle-aged uncle, her face full of enthusiasm, "Big brother, give it, come back next time, we will come to sell porridge every Sunday in the future."
"Okay, haha, give it, a piece of five cents", the middle-aged uncle said heartily.
After the middle-aged uncle left, Lin Caiwei's family had time to sit down and eat breakfast, Guan Lanfen chose eight-treasure porridge, Lin Aiguo chose preserved egg and lean porridge, Lin Caiwei thought to herself that men are really meatless and unhappy, she naturally chose peanut porridge, she likes to eat lighter in the morning.
When they eat well, the number of people who come to the market to buy things begins to increase, and the people who come very early in the morning basically come to occupy a place to sell things, and the people who generally come to the market to buy things are more than nine to eleven o'clock, but the market will not close until more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
So most of the people who bought porridge in the morning were selling things, and now they are really ushering in a big wave of zombies buying things, oh no, it's a big wave of people.
"Walk by, don't miss it, the delicious eight-treasure porridge is fragrant and sweet, a box of seven cents, a box of seven cents", Lin Caiwei continued to shout.
"Preserved egg and lean porridge, a box of eight cents, no money if it's not delicious, peanut porridge only needs five cents a box, free pickles, pickles can be taken at will", this time it is not Lin Caiwei, but Guan Lanfen, the voice is not very loud, and the sentences are not very natural.
Lin Caiwei turned her head to look at her mother's mischievous raised eyebrows, and stretched out her thumbs to her, revealing a big smile.
When Guan Lanfen saw her daughter's appearance, she felt greatly encouraged, and shouted harder, the more she shouted, the smoother and more natural.
"Bring me a box of eight-treasure porridge," said the grandmother, who was holding her little granddaughter.
"Hey, okay, I'll take it for you~", Guan Lanfen smiled and handed the eight-treasure porridge to the old man, and then found three cents for the old man.
Then more and more people gathered around, and the whole family went into battle, and after an hour of busy work, they sold out the peanut porridge and preserved egg and lean pork porridge.
There was not much left, so Lin Caiwei suggested that her parents no longer continue to sell it, but instead divide the rest into more than ten portions and send them to the surrounding vendors.
In Lin Caiwei's words, after all, we are newcomers, and we have to have a good relationship with others, otherwise we will be jealous if our business is so good.
Eating people with a soft mouth and taking people with short hands, although it is only a small favor, but it is more important to be a person, so that most people will not have any objections and then look for trouble.
