Chapter Seventy-Two: Business Is Hard

Not to mention that the shopkeeper Wang at the back of the queue praised in his heart, and a woman in her thirties at the front of the queue picked up a small piece of dried tea and tasted it after tasting a few dishes fried with large dried tea. As soon as I entered the mouth, I felt that my eyes were bright, the taste of this small dried tea was very strong, and after chewing carefully, I felt that the aftertaste was long, and the more I chewed, the more fragrant it became. It's just that it is the same dried tea, but it is divided into two prices, and the difference is so big, she said that she didn't understand.

"Girl, this little dried tea is delicious, but why is it so much more expensive than this big dried tea?" The woman asked.

"Auntie, don't look at the small size of this small dried tea, and the color is similar to that of the big dried tea, but it is not only equipped with our family's secret sauce, but also adds more than a dozen seasonings. Not only is it labor-intensive to make, but it is also more expensive, so it is more expensive. However, it is expensive and has its own reason for being expensive, and it is more flavorful than tofu and big tea. Buy a bundle or two, enough for your whole family to have a good meal. Seeing that the woman was a little moved, Jiang Yue'e made persistent efforts and said: "Usually you can only buy one bundle for three yuan, but today to catch up with the good day when our shop opens, you can get two bundles for three yuan." After this village, there will be no more such shops, so you have to hurry up! ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly asked Jiang Yue'e to bring her two bundles of small dried tea tied with straw. Taking advantage of the cheapness, I bought a lot of yuba and shredded tofu that can be stored for a long time. Only then did he pay the money and went away satisfied.

Jiang Yue'e really lived up to expectations, even if she stood at the counter on the first day, she was not stage frightened in the face of so many strange guests, and she was able to cope with it easily. It's just that there are too many guests patronizing, and the window is too long, and you can surround seven or eight people if you squeeze it, everyone, you say a word to me, Jiang Yue'e couldn't resist it, so she had no choice but to call Yao, who was in charge of washing dishes, to help.

Unlike most of the big men in the lobby, most of the guests who patronize this window are women. Yao, the little daughter-in-law who had never seen the big world, was soon defeated under the offensive of these three aunts and six wives.

"This red bean curd usually sells for two yuan a penny, but today it sells for four yuan for a penny? Middle! Then give me twelve. It's just that I brought a bowl with me, and I'll have to fill it with tofu later, and there's no place to put the bean curd? A woman in her forties said with a look of embarrassment.

"Auntie, you just have to rest assured! Even if some guests don't bring utensils, we have specially prepared a lot of well-washed jars and jars, so that every guest can take things away smoothly. Yao Shi said, pointing to the shelves full of jars and jars behind him, and then said: "This price is not expensive, a small jar costs a penny, and a large jar costs two pennies." Since you're going to buy twelve pieces of bean curd, why don't you take a small jar? ”

"Didn't you say that everything sold in this window today is half price? This jar should be half the price of me, right? The woman asked.

Yao Shi hurriedly said: "What sells at half price refers to our family's food, and this jar can't be included in it." You should also know that this price is sold at the bazaar. Now our family has shipped the jars back from the town and washed them, and they are still sold at the original price, which is already a great discount. If you sell it at half price, you will lose money! ”

Merchants who do business will inevitably have some exaggerations, often saying that the goods they sell are "loss prices", "jumping prices" and other prices that cannot be lower, and that they are just losing money and making money. Under the guidance of the "profiteer" Zhao Siniang, Zhao Jiapu will certainly be no exception.

It's just that this time the Yao family really didn't lie, people went to the market to sell jars and jars, and maybe they could bargain, but in order to help the Li family, no matter how much they bought, they gave the real price. Therefore, it is definitely a loss to sell at half price at this time, and of course she is not happy with a thousand or ten thousand in her heart.

"But isn't this jar also in this window? You didn't say in advance that the jar wasn't counted! How can you say that if you don't count at this time, you won't count? The most important thing to open a shop is to talk about credit, and you can't go back on your word! "The woman is more truthful.

Yao, who was stupid and couldn't speak, had no choice but to let her sister-in-law come over to persuade her, but found that Jiang Yue'e was very busy at this moment, and it was impossible to find time to come over.

Yao couldn't say anything about her, so he had no choice but to respond and sighed: "Half price, half price!" I just can't find half a penny, so I'll give you two more pieces of bean curd! ”

Seeing that the woman shook her head, Yao began to wonder if she had come to find fault on purpose, and was about to speak, but heard the woman say, "Take twelve pieces of bean curd." Isn't this biscuit sold for two pennies today? You can give me another baked cake! ”

Seeing that Yao nodded helplessly in agreement, the woman hurriedly bent down and asked the little boy who was walking with her lovingly, "Bolt, have you thought about it now?" Do you eat salty pancakes or sweet pancakes? ”

It turned out that the two bamboo plaques contained two different flavors of baked cakes: the round one was salty and fragrant, and the oval one was sweet. These pancakes are made with white flour and puff pastry with lard. Whether it is salty or sweet, a thin layer of syrup is brushed on the front of the pancake, dipped in sesame seeds, pasted in the oven of the pancake, and baked over an open flame inside, in addition to the aroma of roasted noodles and sesame seeds, there is also a kind of caramel aroma, which is very attractive.

Of course, this is white flour and lard, and white sugar is added, so the cost should not be low, right? Even if you sell it normally for a penny, you will lose money, right? Will Zhao Siniang really do this kind of loss-making business? If you look at the size of the baked cake, you will know that you will definitely not lose money, because its size is too shabby, and it is not as big as the small tender hands of a three-year-old child, Jiang Lihua.

However, despite its miniature size, it has a great ability to seduce people. The little grandson of this woman has been staring at the two bamboo plaques for a long time, and has been tilting his little head in contemplation, and he has been making difficult choices in his heart. What to do? Choosing one of the two, which should he choose? In fact, both kinds of baked cakes are so fragrant, he really wants to eat them! However, he did not make a request to embarrass his grandmother, and replied, "The bolt wants to eat sweet biscuits!" ”

Get! It turned out that the woman had been going around for a long time, just to get rid of the order for a piece of baked bread that his grandson liked. Yao felt that it was better to go back to wash the dishes, and it was too much brains to do business, and it was not suitable for her at all.

When several guests saw that the woman had only given Yao four cents, not only got a small jar of bean curd, but also made a piece of baked cake for her little grandson, they all thought that the woman was too good at bargaining. Under the leadership of the woman, some people with tender faces asked for a share according to the woman's purchase, and they couldn't stand next to the bamboo plaque for a long time, everyone who was hooked by the fragrance was a little hungry for baked cakes, and even some people were ready to pay for it. It's just that according to personal preference, some people change the red bean curd in the jar to the white bean curd or other pickles.

There aren't many pancakes that cost two dollars a penny and don't really sell, and they are basically given away as an additive. Yao secretly blamed himself, he really didn't succeed enough to fail, and he was just here to help. rs
