Chapter 225: It's open
Old Man Xia, Third Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao have all seen the place, and Xia Qiao also briefly described it to Xia Zhi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xia Zhi often goes to the market these days, and as soon as Xia Qiao said it, she had a general impression in her heart.
A nice place in a good location.
Old Man Xia still has some eyesight and face.
Old Man Xia was very happy to eat, and today's things went smoothly, so he asked Xia Zhi to go and see again. "If you don't think it works, I'll go to them again and ask them to change places for us. ā
"My grandfather's picture, that's definitely fine. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Xia Zhi is also a resolute character, and since the location of the stall has been decided, she doesn't want to delay time. It just so happens that I haven't been busy planting soybeans these days, so after lunch, Xia Zhi suggested going to Linshui Town and setting up a stall first.
This proposal was immediately supported by everyone.
There are no lazy people in the Xia family, not to mention other advantages, they are all diligent.
When they went to see the location of the stall, Old Man Xia, Second Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao had already roughly estimated the bricks, stones, and wood to be used. These homes are ready-made, move in the car, bring tools, and the family is set off.
Everyone wants to go, but fortunately, there are not many materials, and this big car can still sit.
In the end, Mrs. Xia was left to take care of the house, and Old Man Xia, Aunt Xia, Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er, Layue, and Xiao Xia Lin all got in the car. In order to save space, Xiao Xia Lin simply sat in Aunt Xia's arms.
There was no way, he Zhang Luo followed, and the big guys teased him, saying that he was young and couldn't do any work, and he didn't plan to take him. Xiao Xialin was very unconvinced, but he did know that he was small, so he had to work hard. Sitting in his mother's arms to save a place was the first thing he thought of.
Naturally, this car is indispensable for the summer solstice and the little black fish.
Daqing can only run with the cart. He's been eating well lately, and this stretch of the road won't be a problem for him at all.
A large family talked and laughed and sat out of the village in a car.
"After this is tied to the car, it is convenient. Old Man Xia said with emotion.
Uncle Xia San nodded in agreement. These days, the big guys have experienced the convenience of having a car at home. Although it cost a lot of money, everyone felt that it was well spent.
Soon arrived in the town, and Uncle Xia Sanshu drove the car into the market familiarly. There is no market today, so the bazaar is empty. Uncle Xia San parked the carriage next to his stall. It is the place where the food stalls in the market gather.
The stall set by Old Man Xia for the summer solstice has already been marked out with lime lines and stones, and it is at one end of these food stalls, next to the fruit market. People who rush to the market to come over for dinner almost always pass by their stalls.
Compared to some food stalls, this stall is not big, but it is not small. Moreover, according to the plan of the summer solstice, foods such as french fries and potato wedges are wrapped in oiled paper and are easy to take away and eat, which is also very in line with children's eating habits. Therefore, the size of the stall is not a problem.
Xia Zhi thinks this stall is very good, especially the location, which can be said to be excellent.
"Of course, it doesn't depend on who got it. Xia Qiao quipped.
Old Man Xia was naturally very proud and very happy. took his third son and eldest grandson out to run errands, he not only had a glorious face, but was even more happy in his heart.
After a general discussion, a few people were busy moving the wood and stone materials they brought.
The food stalls in the market are very simple to arrange, mainly stoves, boards for placing things, as well as tables and chairs, etc., all of which will be brought when the market stalls are set up, and there is no need to fence around, in winter, they are all surrounded by straw curtains to block the wind, and now in summer, it is even simpler, only need to distinguish the area of a stall.
Xia Solstice can't help much at this time, the main force is Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San, Old Man Xia is also used to all kinds of work, he took Xia Qiao, and several people started to build the stove neatly. The others are on the sidelines.
Xiao Xia Lin tried his best to perform, but he could also help with the shelf, or hand over something light. But that's enough. Especially his serious and positive appearance, it really pleases everyone~ greatly.
When the work here was almost done, Xia Zhi took the silver money from Old Man Xia and brought the little black fish to buy.
Potatoes are available at home, and they are easy to buy, there is no need to go to the set at all, you can buy hundreds of thousands of catties in Daxingzhuang casually, and the quality is guaranteed, and the price is favorable.
Old Man Xia also told Xia Zhi that if this business really goes on and there is a profit to be made, then he plans to plant another batch of potatoes.
The potatoes harvested now are planted in the spring, and they are harvested in the sky, also called Fudou. These potatoes can also be stored until next year, but they are easier to sprout. If you plant potatoes now, it will be harvested in autumn, and they are called autumn beans. Autumn beans are not easy to germinate, so they can be easily stored until next year, just in time to connect with next year's beans.
Then, the most important and relatively large amount is soybean oil.
Xia Zhi was ready, so she took Xiao Heiyuer to the largest grocery store in Linshui Town, which was the one she was most familiar with.
Because she often comes and sends purses to sell, the shopkeeper and the guys at the grocery store know her. As soon as she entered the grocery store, the shopkeeper happened to see it and came to talk to her.
"Summer Solstice girl, is this another purse?"
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I don't have a purse this time. Xia Zhi smiled slightly, and told the shopkeeper that the big guys were busy harvesting wheat and didn't embroider a few purses. "Wait a few more days and I'll be able to deliver it. ā
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, and asked Xia Zhi if he was planning to buy something.
Xia Zhi is not only a supplier here, she is also a regular buyer.
"Buy soybean oil. Xia Zhi said, "Buy ten catties first." ā
There are large barrels of soybean oil in the grocery store, but most of the people who come to buy oil are bought for ten catties and two catties, and some buy half a catty and a few taels. Ten pounds of soybean oil, even at the largest grocery store in town, is a big business.
The shopkeeper was busy leading Xia Zhi to the side of the oil drum, and asked Xia Zhi diligently: "Is there a big thing to do at home?"
"No, I'm going to set up a stall at the market and fry some food to sell. Xia Zhi told the shopkeeper of the grocery store.
Only then did the shopkeeper understand, because he saw that there were only Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer, and the two of them didn't have buckets at hand, so they asked Xia Zhi how he planned to take the oil home.
"Don't take it back. Shopkeeper, I'll make a deal with you first and give you the money. Come and get oil tomorrow in the morning. "The summer solstice said.
"That's fine. The shopkeeper immediately answered. The person who set up the stall must arrive earlier than the person who rushed to the market, so he had to arrange for someone to open the shop in advance to prepare soybean oil for the summer solstice.
However, for him, this is simply not a problem.
If the stall of the summer solstice continues, it will be a big customer of his. To treat such a big customer, you must be thoughtful and considerate.
In this kind of business, many people buy raw materials without cash but on credit, or at the end of the month, or at the agreed time to settle the bill and pay.
The shopkeeper saw that Xia Zhi was planning to pay cash, so he explained this to Xia Zhi. It means that Xia Zhi is also very familiar with him, and he also knows that Old Man Xia, this oil money can be owed on credit first, and then given at the end of the month.
Xia Zhi came with money in his hand, but when he heard the shopkeeper say this, he agreed with a smile.
In this way, she has more liquidity in her hands to turn over. With such honesty as the shopkeeper, Xia Zhi decided to take more care of his grocery store business in the future.
Although he did not pay the full amount, Xia Zhi still left a part of the deposit for the shopkeeper.
After all, it was the first time she came to buy oil, and the shopkeeper was open to doing things, and she also had to appreciate it. After telling the shopkeeper about coming to fetch oil tomorrow morning, Xia Zhi came out of the grocery store and bought a lot of things, most of which were spices and sugar.
After buying things and returning to the stall, Uncle Xia had already set up the stove and surrounded a small operation room, which was specially requested by Xia Zhi. The whole stall is neater than the others.
Uncle Xia San wiped the sweat on his face and asked Xia Zhi to see how the stove they had set up.
"Tomorrow just press the cauldron and burn the fire. ā
Xia Zhi looked at it everywhere and was very satisfied with Uncle Xia's craftsmanship. She also told everyone about buying oil. It was already evening, and since everything that should be prepared was ready, everyone hurriedly packed up and rushed home.
When they got home, Mrs. Xia had already stopped preparing dinner. Because Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San both went to work in the town, Mrs. Xia also brought out their share of the family.
Everyone ate dinner in the backyard.
Xia Zhi silently calculated in his heart, and felt that most of them were eating at Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia for a while. They ate all the white noodles that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia had accumulated, and they also ate a lot of other things. Counting it up, the recent expenses of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia are not ordinarily large.
However, it was very pleasant to see Mrs. Xia busy working, and Mr. Xia was also very happy. When the children and grandchildren came to eat, they were not reluctant at all, on the contrary, they were very happy.
is just such a lively and harmonious family, this is the most enjoyable thing for Old Man Xia.
And Mrs. Xia is also willing to work for her children and grandchildren.
"Let's go grind noodles someday. After eating, Xia Zhi discussed with Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, "The one hundred and fifty catties of wheat that the second uncle gave me will belong to my grandfather and my grandmother." ā
This was said by Xia Zhi to avoid Uncle Xia.
But Third Uncle Xia still knew, and he came over to say that he didn't want Second Uncle Xia's hundreds of catties of wheat to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.
Xia Qiao naturally agreed.
It's one thing to harvest this wheat or not, the children and grandchildren have this expression, and the old man Xia ironed in his heart. He pondered for a while, and then said that he had taken the wheat from the summer solstice. But Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao's wheat, let them take it back.
Third Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao followed him to pull weeds in Second Uncle Xia's wheat field. Moreover, when they harvested the wheat, they also exerted a lot of effort, and almost all of them grew in the wheat fields.
For the children and grandchildren who worked hard, Old Man Xia was full of pity.
He also said to Uncle Xia: "Send more wheat to your father-in-law's house." They could not grow wheat in that land, so they had to buy white flour. Your father-in-law and your uncles are very good to you. ā
Uncle Xia San nodded, and said that when he was free for a few days, he and Aunt Xia took the children to Chen's house to visit the door, grind the wheat into flour and send it over.
By the way, the matter was settled, and the big guy discussed how to set up a stall tomorrow, and prepared all the things for the stall, so they all rested early.
Tomorrow for the market, you have to get up early.
The next day, before dawn, the summer solstice everyone set off from their homes and went to Linshui Town. When we arrived at the market, it was not yet dawn, but there were already people who had come to set up their stalls and were busy lighting lanterns.
Most of the people who are busy are still selling food. One of the reasons is that many people who get up early to go to the market do not eat at home, so they come to the market to eat.
On the summer solstice, they got out of the car, and Xia Qiao continued to drive to the grocery store to get oil, and they also lit a lantern and got busy.
Xia Zhi wore an ordinary muslin floral skirt, an apron on her body, a veil on her head, and a gauze mask on her face. Today is the first day of opening, and she has to be in charge.
Although she trained Aunt Xia and Layue, she had to take them personally in the first few days. Of course, Uncle Xia San is also one of her apprentices.
Aunt Xia San, Uncle Xia and Layue also wore the same veils, masks and aprons as Xia Zhi.
The summer solstice is to follow the experience and habits of running a zongzi workshop in Fucheng to strengthen the image of their own brand, and they wear it like this, which looks more exquisite and clean than other stalls.
Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er also helped out at the stall.
The little black fish followed the summer solstice and was also fully armed. Old Man Xia is more idle in comparison, he is worried today, so he came over to watch. As for his current task, it is to take Xiao Xia Lin.
On the first day of opening, Summer Solstice prepared fries, potato wedges, and flavored meatballs, in addition to mung bean soup and sour plum soup, two drinks to quench her thirst.
As soon as it was dawn, there were more people in the market, and some people went to the food stalls.
The owners of the food stalls are shouting loudly, which is to attract customers.
The newly opened stall on the summer solstice has no mass base, so selling is unavoidable. Xia Zhi didn't go into battle in person, and handed over the matter to Xiao Heiyu'er, Xiao Shu'er, and Xiao Xia Lin.
Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San are actually a little embarrassed, and if they really want them to sell, they are not easy to open their mouths. But a few children are different, under the leadership of the little black fish, they are very energetic.
It's even more appealing than the shouting of adults.
When the sky was getting dark, there were more and more people rushing to the market, and Xia Zhi wrapped some French fries and potato corners and distributed them to Xiao Heiyuer, Xiao Shuer, Layue and Xiao Xialin.
Little Black Fish and Daqing are in a group, Layue and Xiao Xialin are in a group, and Xiaoshuer is in a group by himself.
A few children went deep into the bazaar and even walked out into the streets of Linshui Town. The only thing they have to do is ask someone to taste their fries and wedges for free.
