Chapter 178: Don't Hurry
In the past two days, everyone's busy heels couldn't touch the ground, Chen Chunhua put the sun-dried vermicelli into a bag, and after loading it, he called the third child to weigh them one by one.
In general, after two days, the noodles made were less than two hundred catties, Chen Chunhua sighed, and went back to the house and said to Dong Niang. "The noodles are in a bag, and I will go to Qingcheng tomorrow!"
Dong Niang nodded and said. "The price is set first, and after it is opened in Qingcheng, it will go up again?"
"It's going to go up, sell the noodles this time first, and when you see a good future, it's going to go up!" Chen Chunhua sat down as she spoke, rubbed her sore arm, and said. "I just weighed those vermicelli, but they haven't weighed more than 200 catties, and the ones that haven't been dried are about 200 catties!"
Dong Niang knew that Chen Chunhua was tired and said. "Don't worry, business has just begun, you didn't say that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"
Saying this, can Chen Chunhua not be in a hurry? It's autumn now, and I want to make some noodles while it's not cold, and the noodles are a very popular dish in winter, so I thought about it and said. "Dong Niang, a few mothers-in-law who came with you, but have you learned?"
Because I thought of selling vermicelli in Qingcheng, I was afraid that those people didn't know how to eat, so I taught a few mothers-in-law around Dong Niang, and when Ming'er vermicelli was put aside in Qingcheng to start a business, I naturally had to teach this way of eating!
"I must have learned, I have made vermicelli one by one for me to taste in the past two days, the taste is not as good as what you made, but I am not patient!"
Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "Okay, just wait for how the noodle business will go tomorrow!"
After lunch, Dong Niang went back to Qingcheng with a few mothers-in-law. By the way, the noodles were also carried over, Chen Chunhua couldn't leave now, otherwise she would have gone with her.
On the second day, Chen Chunhua got up early in the dark and went to Qingcheng, and when Chen Chunhua came, Dong Niang had already gone to the shop, and the steward led Chen Chunhua to the shop.
This shop is not big, but the location is good, and there is a lively street outside the shop, and there are many people coming and going on the street. Almost all of the shops selling goods are down the street.
The door of the shop has not yet opened. Chen Chunhua was just about to knock on the door, the door opened, and it was the mother-in-law who came out, seeing Chen Chunhua nodding.
I didn't know until I entered the shop. Dong Niang is about to open the door of the shop at this time. said that it was a small shop. The yard at the back is not small.
There were several tables in the courtyard, and on top of them were wooden basins filled with freshly cooked vermicelli. Chen Chunhua hadn't eaten it yet, so she couldn't help but go into the kitchen and take some dishes and chopsticks to eat.
There is a lot of meat in the vermicelli, and sure enough, the taste of the meat is different, and after eating a bowl to fill the stomach, I looked at the mother-in-law. "Where's Dong Niang?"
"The eldest lady is changing clothes in the back room!" Chen Chunhua listened, nodded, and said. "Hurry up and get the table out of the way!" After speaking, he beckoned to a few small people standing next to him.
The little guy was also very obedient, seeing Chen Chunhua say this, he got busy with his hands and feet, and when Dong Niang changed her clothes and came out, the table and the noodles were moved to the front of the shop, and then the noodles to be sold were taken out.
Fujia shop is very famous in Qingcheng no matter how big or small, this shop was used to sell fabrics before, and then it was sold in the fan business, and this time it was used to sell vermicelli.
As soon as the door of this shop opened, the people walking on the street couldn't help but stop and take a look.
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua looked at Dong Niang, only to see Dong Niang wearing an emerald green Luo skirt, walking out with a slight smile on her face, and asked her mother-in-law to take out the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the crowd around. "Everyone, today is my new thing from the Fu family, called potato melon vermicelli!" As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, and said. "I just arrived today, so I made some for everyone to try!"
After saying this, he glanced at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law began to put noodles on them and brought them over. This is close, and naturally looks closely, smelling the smell, everyone looks at it for a while and is silent.
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua walked out and said. "Today, this vermicelli is for everyone to taste, if it is good, buy some and go back to the house to make it fresh, if it is not good, I will not ask you for money! This vermicelli is only sold today and is not expensive, and in the future, if you want to be as cheap as the one you bought today, you can't find it! ”
Hearing this, those who couldn't hold back took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by the mother-in-law and started eating.
Everyone looked at the man who ate the vermicelli, and when they saw him, they didn't say anything, they patronized and ate it by themselves, presumably the vermicelli must not be unpalatable!
When the man finished eating, he handed the dishes and chopsticks to his mother-in-law, and looked at Dong Niangdao. "If it's really a family thing, everything is the best one, the fan sold last time, this time the vermicelli is even more useless, if you don't believe it, try it yourself!"
With this, everyone can wait, scrambling to say. "Bring me a bowl"
The person who tasted it first then bought three catties of vermicelli and went back, fifty yuan a catty that was not blinking, and he happily gave the silver money.
As for the people, it is just to be lively, where there is excitement and look at it, as there are more and more people, Dong Niang is in trouble, and pulled Chen Chunhua, who was patronizing people on the side, and said softly. "There are too many people, I'm afraid the noodles are not enough to sell!"
Hearing this, Chen Chunhua turned her head to look at Dong Niang and said in a low voice. "That's good, it's not enough today, there must be more people tomorrow!"
Dong Niang looked at Chen Chunhua's smiling eyes, and suddenly understood, and sighed slightly in her heart, Chunhua, a peasant woman, understands the doorway of business so well, compared to her age, she is still a girl who has not left the pavilion with a spring heart.
The noodles are less than 200 pounds, but they were sold out in less than half an hour, and there are still a group of people behind who didn't buy them, and I regret it in my heart.
"Boss, but there are still vermicelli?"
Chen Chunhua listened and said with a smile. "It's sold out today, and if it's sold, you'll have to wait a few days!" When everyone heard this, they had to look at me and I looked at you, and they dispersed after a while.
Today's noodles are cheap, and the cost is earned, but it is not refreshing. One pound of fifty wen, ten pounds of silver, one hundred pounds is only five taels of silver, put it up, today it is less than ten taels of silver, out of the cost, probably earned seven or eight taels!
"Chunhua, since the vermicelli is so easy to sell, how much should it go up?" Dong Niang knew that Chen Chunhua could speak, and she just said to those people that today's fifty wen a pound of vermicelli is just today, but she didn't talk full!
"Two coins and a pound of silver!"
Dong Niang didn't seem surprised when she heard this, indeed, vermicelli is so troublesome to make, if you don't sell it for two coins and a pound of silver, it won't make a profit, but it seems that this thing is very strange. If you go to the city to sell, fifty wen a pound of those big families may not be able to look at it, sometimes the big families want to make a face, not to look at the good things, but to buy some expensive things for the sake of face!
Dong Niang thought like this, how could Chen Chunhua not think of it? Fans are an example, but after all, food and utensils are different!
According to the name of the Fu family in Qingcheng, this vermicelli was only exposed for a while, and then it spread in Qingcheng. Of course, it is no exception, and the Chen family has also heard what people say.
Mrs. Chen and Dong Niang are also very familiar with each other, and last time because of the fan business, the two families were in a stalemate for a long time, and they have not talked to each other until now.
It is not easy for Dong Niang to do business with a woman's family, many shops in Qingcheng are found from time to time, but there is no before, that is, after the fan business is opened, other shops have become like this, don't think about it, you also know that only the Chen family can secretly oppose the Fu family in Qingcheng.
But this is unfounded, Dong Niang has no way to do this, she must not send someone to Chen's house to question, if she really does this, then it doesn't make people laugh at her Fu family?
Later, Dong Niang went to Liaocheng once, and said casually to the shop owner who had dealt with him for many years, and after a while, no one in this Qingcheng shop dared to make trouble.
Dong Niang also thought about it, and only later did she know that it was Baiyao who secretly knocked the Chen family, and their Chen family went to the shop to buy goods, not only did the price go up, but they didn't sell them even if they had the goods.
For this matter, Dong Niang sent people to Baifu to send things over!
After Mrs. Chen learned about this, she also wondered if someone from outside was paging, and after thinking about it, she asked her mother-in-law to prepare for a trip to Fu's house.
After selling the noodles, Chen Chunhua didn't dare to stay long, and hurried back to Zhaojia Village. She has to hurry up and invite more people, and the venue will have to be busy!
Dong Niang didn't rest when she returned to the courtyard, so she listened to the steward and said that Mrs. Chen came to visit. Dong Niang frowned and said. "Then go and say, I'm not in the house now!"
The steward also acted according to his eyes, seeing that Mrs. Chen was visiting, and also mentioning that Dong Niang was there, he went to the door and looked at Mrs. Chen. "I'm really sorry, the eldest lady is not here, the old man and the old lady are inconvenient to see guests recently!"
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she held back the sullenness in her heart, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said. "Then it's bothering to take care of things, if Dong Niang comes back, you can talk to her!" As he spoke, he asked his mother-in-law to hand the things to the steward, saying. "These are the things I got a while ago, thinking that Dong Niang must be happy, so I brought them over!"
The steward nodded, took it, and said. "Then I'll thank Mrs. Chen for the eldest lady!"
Mrs. Chen nodded, didn't say anything more, and left the gate of the Fu family! Although this steward has a high status in the Fu family, and even claims that he comes and goes with me, Mrs. Chen, as the young lady of the Chen family, how could she look down on such a person?
As soon as Mrs. Chen left, the steward took the thing to the courtyard and looked at Dong Niangdao. "Miss, this is a gift from Mrs. Chen!"
Dong Niang nodded and said. "Go back and send some things to the Chen family, send these back by the way, and prepare some things for me, I'm afraid I will go to Zhaojia Village and wait for a while before I can come back, you send someone to the aunt in Liaocheng to give a word!"
