262 Little Stone Doing Business
Xiaoshi also often helped cook when he was in Songpotun, and he was quite skilled in doing all this, and he was ready to stop after a while.
Soon, because it was not a meal, there were no customers in the small restaurant, and Xiao Shi gobbled up the cornmeal dumplings with pork head meat and shredded radish.
Uncle Zhao came over with hot water, Xiao Shi took the hot water gratefully, drank the stomach with a bang, and then greeted Uncle Zhao gratefully to taste the pig's head meat and shredded radish he brought.
Uncle Zhao and his family are also real people, so they did it quickly with Xiaoshi, and Aunt Zhao was full of praise for the pig's head meat brought by Xiaoshi, and said that it was as delicious as the omnivorous shop in Fuxiang's old shop. In addition to praising the pig's head meat, Uncle Zhao also became interested in the shredded radish of the small stone.
Xiaoshi is also born with a business mind, and seeing that Uncle Zhao is interested in this kind of radish that is pickled into black and red, he quietly introduced the benefits of this shredded radish, that is, it is forbidden. Since pickled radish is salted, and no other seasoning is put in, so it is not a problem to put the pickled radish for several months.
Uncle Zhao immediately asked about the price of this kind of radish with great interest, and Xiaoshi thought about the strategy he discussed with his family when he was at home, saying that a whole radish only costs two yuan.
After listening to the price of the small stone, Uncle Zhao thought about it for a while, and immediately happily said that he would buy all the radishes brought by the small stone. Because, his customers here are poor coolies, and they can't afford to eat vegetables, but if they have this cheap turnip, they can eat it, and a shredded turnip like this is enough for twenty people to eat.
Of course, Uncle Zhao is open to do business, and he can't not make money at all, but even if he doubles the price, twenty people will come up with four cents is a very cheap price. With such cheap radish strips, Uncle Zhao's restaurant will have more advantages than other small restaurants, and the business will be more prosperous.
Of course, these are all Xiao Shi's guesses, Uncle Zhao didn't say it, Xiao Shi didn't ask, he just had to think that his radish could be sold.
In this way, Uncle Zhao bought more than a dozen big radishes brought by the small stone, and when it was noon, when the coolies came over one after another to buy vegetable dumplings, Uncle Zhao and his family brought out the shredded radish, as long as the money for a vegetable dumpling, they could give a big chopstick.
After the coolies who couldn't afford to eat vegetables tasted such shredded radish, they all spent an extra amount of money for cornmeal dumplings to ask for a chopstick-headed shredded radish for themselves, and happily ate it.
After the first wave of coolies finished eating and left, they told their fellow poor companions, and soon more coolies poured in, spending a little more money to eat pickles, and everyone said that although they had no money to buy radish strips from Fuxiang's omnivorous shop, they were also very content to eat such cheap shredded radish.
Uncle Zhao's restaurant became lively, and the vegetable dumplings that were originally going to be sold for a day were almost sold out at noon.
Xiao Shi quickly said this, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect our radishes to be so popular, if I had known about it, I would have brought more." ”
"Don't be upset," Yun Fang said with a smile, "Brother Shi has found such a good market, so we don't have to worry about the sales of those radishes at home." ”
As soon as Yun Fang's voice fell, Uncle Zhao pushed the door in, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "The girl of the Lan family is right, your radish really doesn't have to worry, my old Zhao head is all round." ”
"We have a big vat full of them. Yun Fang smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, how much can you sell here?"
"Hey," Uncle Zhao smiled, patted his chest and said, "Little girl, don't underestimate our little face, we are still the number one among the coolie bars around, even if you send the radish over, my old man will never pay the bill." ”
"Hehe," Yun Fang smiled, she laughed at herself a little blindly, no matter how bad Uncle Zhao's small restaurant is, it depends on the city, the size of the person is a boss, this businessman's vision and shrewdness are naturally there, such a suitable radish shred, how could he not want to ask for it all, even if his small restaurant can't be sold out, it will be profitable to go out.
Uncle Zhao looked at Yun Fang's smile, and for no reason, he said cautiously, "I just heard from Brother Shi, you can call the shots in these things, you, you won't dislike our small face and refuse to sell things to us, right?"
"Little girl, let me tell you," Uncle Zhao was afraid that Yun Fang would not agree, so he immediately continued, "Although our little face is not on those bustling streets, but we are next to the Li Doctor's Hospital, and we are all poor people's business, our position is the most suitable." Don't hear people say that the famous omnivorous shops in Ning County are on the street of Wuhou Temple, but it is very troublesome to deal with those big shops. ”
"Let's not talk about it, let's just talk about the delicious and crisp radish strips sold in Fuxiang's omnivorous shop some time ago," Uncle Zhao said, looking at it vigilantly in private, and his voice unconsciously lowered, "I heard from my old friends that for the matter of that radish strip, I alarmed the owners of several big shops." Even the Li family's grocery store, which was originally not very popular, was also stained. ”
"The Li family's grocery store?" Yun Fang's expression changed, and he muttered a repeat, and asked to himself, "But the owner is called Li Minghua's Li family grocery store." ”
"Yes, I'm talking about their family," Uncle Zhao's voice was not loud, but the envy in it was clear at a glance, "This Li Minghua usually looks inconspicuous, how can he have such good means and luck this time?"
Regarding the fact that the home-pickled radish strips caused a lot of shock in Ning County, Yun Fang had heard a lot of rumors and guessed some things behind the scenes, but no matter how she thought about it, she didn't expect that it would have something to do with the Li family.
Could it be that Yun Fang's eyes were cold! Could it be that he had mistaken Li Jinrong, on the one hand, he ran to himself and said that he would not divulge the secret, but he turned his head and came over again to make a small move, and used this incident to gain any benefit for their shop?
Yun Fang's face was a little uncertain, and Xiao Shishi, who knew most of the inside information, was also a little dazed, he took over the conversation and asked carefully, "Uncle Zhao, what benefits has this Li family's shop gained?"
"People and Steward Zhang have a relationship! Uncle Zhao finished speaking a little mysteriously, and immediately solemnly instructed, "Not many people know about this matter, I don't think you are from our city, so I told you, don't go around publicizing it, my old Zhao Tou is soft-spoken, but I can't afford to offend those big shops." ”
"Don't worry, don't worry," Xiao Shi hurriedly promised, "We won't go out and talk nonsense, let's just listen to a joke." ”
"That's good, that's good," Uncle Zhao patted his chest, said with some fear, and immediately continued, "Let's stop gossiping about others, let's talk about our business, we can't figure it out, and we don't need to figure it out." ”
After Uncle Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Yun Fang, who was a little absent-minded, for fear that this little girl who looked a little moody would say something else.
"Uh, ah," Feeling Uncle Zhao's somewhat hot gaze, Yun Fang coughed lightly a few times, quickly came back to his senses, and said softly, "Uncle Zhao, I understand what you mean, or do business with a sincere person like you to make people feel at ease." ”
Uncle Zhao was directly pointed out by a little girl like Yun Fang, and for a while, the old man's face was a little unbearable, and he said with a red face, "Old man, the old man is telling the truth, telling the truth." Ye are far away in the country, and how do you know the ways of this city? However, if you are willing to do this deal with me, let's not say anything else, I will definitely not press you for this payment, I will definitely deliver the goods with one hand and pay with the other. ”
Listening to Uncle Zhao's eager assurance, Xiao Shi also turned his head and said, "Fang girl, Uncle Zhao is indeed a real person, let's ,......"
"Yes, Brother Shi is right. Yun Fang nodded slightly, agreeing with Xiao Shi's words, and interrupted his next words.
In fact, from the perspective of a businessman, Uncle Zhao is indeed a real person. Although his words were a little eager, he didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted to explain his own advantages and take the supply of these pickled radishes in his hands.
After Yun Fang thought about it for a while, Uncle Zhao had already opened his mouth happily, "So, our business is settled?"
As soon as Uncle Zhao's words fell, before Yun Fang could express his position, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a familiar voice coming in, "What business did Boss Zhao talk about?"
It turned out to be Li Jinrong's voice.
Yun Fang and Xiao Shi glanced at each other, Xiao Shi shook his head gently, and Yun Fang's brows furrowed slightly.
Uncle Zhao was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of nervousness and anger on his face. However, he quickly adjusted his mood, opened the hidden door, and greeted him with a smile, "It turned out to be the Shaodong of the Li family, your buddy Yonglian just brought me several large bags of cornmeal here in the morning, what are you ,......?"
