Chapter Eighty-Six: Opening (Part I) [Third Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]
Since the business of the vegetable market is early in the morning, the roasted sweet potato shop in Laiwang has to be opened early in the morning since it is located in the vegetable market.
Laiwang's roasted sweet potato shop didn't set off firecrackers, but Laiwang thought, just because the store was in the middle of the market, surrounded by stalls, if firecrackers were set off, other people's business would not be able to do it. In addition, there are huge problems with security. So Laiwang rented a bunch of loud stereos, and the sound of firecrackers was put there all the time.
"Laiwang, you're a good idea. When someone else's store opens, how many firecrackers are set off so loudly. That's all money. You've got that in a hurry. After a morning, just a few kilowatt-hours of electricity will do. It's only a few bucks in total. He Biqing said.
"That can't be counted. Don't I need money to rent a stereo? The dog said, it will cost more than 200 in one morning. β
Lai Wang didn't talk about this sound. Why? It's a good price. Simpleton. When others asked how much money Laiwang had, Laiwang was vague, more than two hundred. Actually, it's two hundred and fifty.
When bargaining at that time, Laiwang said that the price was not good, two hundred and three, two hundred and four, and that number was stronger than two hundred and five. But the owner of the audio store said, don't you say that 288 is more auspicious, isn't 288 trillion better? Angry, Laiwang counted two hundred and fifty yuan and threw it on the table. Two hundred and five, give me some good tomorrow. The owner of the video store is not to be outdone, two hundred and five, we will pay you a penny.
He Biqing and a few others knew the truth, and when they heard Laiwang say more than two hundred, they couldn't stop giggling......
He Biyun also smiled, "Laiwang, these more than two hundred, you are very worthy." β
"You're worth it!" Lai Wang said angrily.
I opened the door early and was lively for a long time, but I didn't see a single customer come to the door.
"Laiwang, why haven't you seen a single one of your old customers come to the door? Have you advertised well these days? He Biyun asked.
"Let's just say that you have long hair and short knowledge. Who do you think are the people who come to the market to buy vegetables now? The people who came to sell vegetables in the township have just come, have you seen it? Laiwang pointed to the people in the vegetable market who were carrying large bags and small bags of vegetables.
He Biyun couldn't see it and shook his head.
Laiwang asked Zhang Wenfang, "Wenfang, do you see it?" β
Zhang Wenfang rarely comes out to buy vegetables, and he can't see it, "They all seem to buy a lot of vegetables at one time." β
He Biqing smiled, "Wen Fang can see that the Hall of Fame is coming. These people are either from the township to do happy events and come out to do food, or from restaurants, restaurants, guesthouses, units, etc. So there are a lot of things purchased. There are still very few people who actually come out to buy groceries and cook their own food. Because most people in the town like to buy vegetables from local vegetable farmers, most of them are still on the road. β
He Biqing has to come out every day to buy ingredients, so he knows more about all this. Although He Biyun has also been here, this girl is a thick thread, and she yawns in the morning, she is dizzy and follows, so naturally she will not observe carefully like He Biqing.
"I said, how can you sit still like that?" He Biyun said.
The shelves in the storefront are very supermarket-like, with some vegetables on them, but the price of these vegetables is at least five times that of similar vegetables in the market. However, today, as the first day of opening, all customers enjoy a 50% discount. But even so, the price is two or three times higher than that of similar vegetables.
There aren't a lot of vegetable cakes in Laiwang, so I'm not worried that they won't sell. Moreover, although the price of Laiwang's vegetables is relatively high, the quality is significantly higher than that of ordinary vegetables. Take tomatoes as an example, the red color of tomatoes in the vegetable market is always uneven, and the fruit shape is also very irregular, not to mention the taste, for the convenience of storage and transportation, it is generally picked when it is half-ripe, and the taste varies greatly. However, the tomatoes in this shop in Laiwang are all the same size, the shape is almost made in the same mold, and the color is almost exactly the same, all of them are the same bright red. It's pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.
The nearby vegetable sellers also think that this sweet potato shop is rare. Huang Dayu originally wanted to top this store, but he always thought that the rent was too expensive, so he lowered the price fiercely, but he didn't expect to be taken away by a young man from the countryside.
Although Huang Dayu didn't care much about this store at first, he was taken away all of a sudden, and he felt that he had lost face by others. He had always wanted to see who the owner of this place was. In the future, I will watch other people's good shows.
But Laiwang has always seen the head and tail of the dragon, and Huang Dayu didn't even touch Laiwang's face every time he came over.
When Laiwang's sweet potato barbecue restaurant opened, Huang Dayu saw Laiwang. Huang Dayu felt that Laiwang was a very stupid countryman. Opening a roasted sweet potato shop in the market, isn't this selling height extenders to Yao Ming? People come to buy vegetables, who will buy your roasted sweet potatoes?
"Oh, there are so many people in this world. Some people even went to the vegetable market to sell roasted sweet potatoes. I think it's a pancake stall (greedy) big - it's a loss. Meng Dayu entered Laiwang's store, looked east, looked west, didn't say a word, and when he left the store, he actually said loudly at the door.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Come and play the field? He Biyun immediately asked forward.
"I love to say that it is my freedom, what can you do?" Huang Dayu relied on the vegetables he had sold in the market for many years, and he had many acquaintances.
Lai Wang grabbed He Biyun, "Biyun, don't pay attention to this kind of person." has sold vegetables all his life, but he still keeps the stall, and he can't see others open a store. β
Laiwang has never been able to afford to lose, and if someone bullies him to the door, he will naturally not back down.
Huang Dayu was half angry with Laiwang, and Laiwang happened to step on his sore feet. This guy has been selling vegetables in the market for many years. Many of the people who started selling vegetables with him have already gone on to do something else. Only Huang Dayu is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year. Otherwise, it would not have been boiling the price of this faΓ§ade, but let Laiwang take the lead.
"What did you say, stinky boy? Do you believe that a phone call from me can make your store unopen? Huang Dayu pointed at Laiwang with his finger and said arrogantly.
Lai Wang smiled, "Believe it or not, if you point your finger at Lao Tzu again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make you a dead fish!" β
Before the owner handed over the faΓ§ade to Laiwang, he talked about this person. Therefore, Laiwang is very clear about the bottom of the yellow fish. I never wanted to conflict with him, but everyone was bullied, and I definitely couldn't back down. If you retreat an inch today, people will dare to step on it tomorrow. As long as you step on him at once, you won't dare to jump again.
Huang Dayu was stunned, he has been in the vegetable market for so many years, although he is still a character who can't be on the stage, people in the market will also give some face. I have always been the only one who bullied the newcomers, and no one has ever bullied me.
"Hey, it's rare. Someone dared to bully Lao Tzu. I'm going to see how you made me a dead fish? The big yellow fish rushed up.
Laiwang quickly greeted him and directly pinched Huang Dayu's wrist.
"Ahh My wrist is about to break. "Where has Huang Dayu suffered such a loss, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat with pain all over his body.
Lai Wang pulled Huang Dayu out of the store directly, and then let Huang Dayu go, "I can warn you." Don't mess with me again, or you'll end up worse next time! β
"Boy, you wait!" Huang Dayu rubbed his wrist vigorously with his hands, and spoke on the table as he walked out of the market.
"This boy is still too young. This big yellow fish is also a snake in this farmers' market, the strong dragon does not press the head snake, just came in, and directly stepped on the big yellow fish, just afraid that it will cause big trouble in the future.
He Biqing also blamed He Biyun for causing trouble, "You troublemaker, if you weren't talking too much just now, people would just talk about it." You see, now Laiwang has turned his face with others. That guy is obviously the head snake in this market, should he still open a prosperous store in the future? β
He Biyun stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak, obviously knowing that he was wrong.
"It's not Biyun's fault. Even if Biyun didn't answer just now, this big yellow fish would still come to make trouble sooner or later. If this kind of person wants to be rectified, he has to be scared of him once, so that he will not dare to come to trouble in the future. "Laiwang sees this kind of person very thoroughly.
"Then you should pay more attention in the future. It really doesn't work, so we'll go find someone. He Biqing said.
"It's okay, I can handle this. If this guy was really good, he wouldn't be in the vegetable market all the time. "Laiwang is not very worried.
"Hey, there's a baked sweet potato shop here. Hey, it also sells vegetables. Young man, how do you sell baked sweet potatoes? "An elderly woman walked up.
"Five dollars a pound." Laiwang said forward.
"Oh, that's expensive. Don't, don't. The elderly woman was about to leave, but she was attracted by the vegetables in the store. She comes out to sell vegetables every day, and her vision is naturally good. After just one glance, I knew that the vegetables in the store were much better than those in the stalls outside.
"Auntie. Don't underestimate my sweet potato, although the price is more expensive than the average sweet potato, but the taste is definitely worth the price. I've cut a few ripe sweet potatoes here, and here's where you can try them. "When I came to Wang to see the appearance of the elderly woman, I also knew that she was too expensive.
The elderly woman saw that the sweet potato looked good, and when Laiwang handed over the small plate of sweet potatoes, she smelled a fragrance that made people appetize. After a slight hesitation, she took a piece with a toothpick and took a small bite, which made her understand that this sweet potato was indeed something special. Generally, after the sweet potato is eaten, the residue rate is not very high, so it is a little dry, and it feels a little difficult to swallow when you eat it. But this sweet potato is different, after this sweet potato is eaten, there is a feeling of dissolving.
Fall mouth dissolve. This is a word used by the people of Huangshi to describe delicious food, but it can be placed very appropriately on the sweet potatoes of Laiwang Roasted Sweet Potato Shop.
"Okay, right?" Laiwang asked with a smile.
"It's delicious, but it's too expensive." Said the older woman.
"Today we opened, all customers will be 50% off, that is to say, today's sweet potatoes are only two yuan and five pounds. It's cheaper than selling sweet potatoes. Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Then, then I'll sell two catties. No, buy five pounds. The elderly woman immediately rejoiced.
The first business opened in Laiwang, although the profit was less than half of that of Ping, but Laiwang was very happy. That's a good start.
"Our vegetables here are all green and environmentally friendly vegetables, and today we are also 50% off, although they are still much more expensive than the vegetables in the stalls outside. However, if you are a frequent grocery buyer, you should be able to tell the quality of the vegetables at a glance. β
Finally, a guest came to the door, and Laiwang naturally had to seize the opportunity. Even if you can't afford to let your guests out, keep them in the store for a few more minutes. Doing business is very popular. There are a lot of people in the store, and passing customers have to take a look at it even if they don't come to the door. If there are many birds in front of the store, others will feel redundant to even take a second look.
"This dish is good. But this price is too high, and it will not be lower than the price of meat. The old man shook his head. When the old man said that it is more expensive than meat, he does not mean that the price is really more expensive than the price of meat, but that it costs more to eat vegetables than meat. Because the same weight of vegetables will be reduced a lot after they are cooked. After a meal, the money for eating vegetables is really much more than eating meat.
"That being said, it's worth the money. What is most precious now? Health is the most precious. Investing in health is more cost-effective than any investment. Most of today's vegetables are raised with pesticides and fertilizers. But I can guarantee that the greens in my store do not contain any pesticide residues. Real green food. Laiwang said.
"But that's what you're talking about. Whether pesticides and fertilizers are used or not is not visible to the eye. "The old man is also very shrewd.
Lai Wang nodded, "Auntie, you're right. But I can't run away from this storefront. If you take my vegetables here and test them anywhere, if pesticide and fertilizer residues are found, I would rather pay the cost of the test and pay ten times the compensation. We have sent the vegetables to the authoritative testing department for testing, and the results will arrive in a few days. When the time comes, the test results will be more convincing. β
Laiwang said it with confidence, which made the elderly women believe it a little.
"Then I'll buy some and try them. Young man, don't lie to me! "The old woman chose some dishes.
He Biqing and the three of them stood aside, watching Laiwang do a business, and occasionally helped hand over a convenient bag in the middle. Or help find some change. Nothing else will be involved.
"Laiwang, you are really a business material. If you had come out to do business earlier, I am afraid that you would have made a fortune long ago. He Biqing said.
"Isn't this forced to have no way out? Anyone can do business. "Laiwang is very calm, looking outside the store to see if there is any coming here.
As more and more people enter the market, the market becomes more and more noisy. Occasionally, a few people come to the shop to take a look. But the things here are too expensive, they usually shake their heads and leave, and occasionally some people will scold Laiwang for wanting money and going crazy, so it is better to rob it. He Biyun is a grumpy surname, and immediately quarreled with others, if it wasn't for He Biqing pulling by the side, it would have turned the world upside down. (To be continued.) )
