Chapter 42 Market Open

Before dawn the next day, Sun Chen got up.

After eating the breakfast prepared by the second girl, the two brothers and sisters set off.

Originally, Sun Chen didn't plan to take his sister over, and roasting sweet potatoes was not a heavy physical job, so he could easily handle it alone. But the second girl was not at ease, so she insisted on following her to take a look.

When we walked into town, it was lit up and more and more people began to move around the market.

Sun Chen parked the cart, lit the charcoal, and then put a dozen sweet potatoes on the tray shelf to bake, every once in a while, he would wear heat-insulating gloves to turn the sweet potatoes to ensure that the heat was even, after half an hour, the whole market was wafting with a unique aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

"Hey, who's roasting sweet potatoes under the stove? You can't eat alone, take it out and share it with everyone~"

Someone shouted.

Sweet potatoes are not a rare thing, those of them who set up stalls together all day long, no matter who roasts them, they will share them with everyone, after all, they are not at home, and some people's stalls can't make fires.

Especially for those who sell food, there are often people who bring sweet potatoes from home and stuff them into their hearths, which not only does not delay their business, but also allows them to eat a few bites of sweet potatoes.

However, Sun Chen's brother and sister were new to the market, and they didn't know that there was such a tradition in this market, but Sun Chen's original plan was to divide them, so he simply took out all the roasted sweet potatoes and beckoned everyone to eat.

"My family plans to sell roasted sweet potatoes here today, everyone come and try them, and help see if they can do it."

Everyone who was gathered around heard Sun Chen's words, and they all smiled perfunctorily, although they often ate roasted sweet potatoes, they never thought that they could sell this kind of food.

Taking a piece in their hands, they suddenly noticed that this roasted sweet potato seemed to be a little different from what they had eaten before.

It's not black and hard, but soft. It's different from steaming, the skin is dry.

When peeled back, the whole sweet potato was the same as the best part left over from the roasting in the past, without a single burnt place.

Inside, it won't still be raw, right? More than one person thinks so.

Breaking it open and looking at it, it was all ripe, and I couldn't help but admire Sun Chen.

"Eh, boy, are you okay, such a good skill in roasting sweet potatoes?"

"Hehe, of course, how dare you bring out the roasted sweet potatoes to sell?" Sun Chen accepted it unceremoniously, the purpose of inviting them to eat was to let people promote it for themselves, things were originally good things, why didn't they admit it?

The first roasted sweet potato was distributed to the people in the market to eat, and the second roasted sweet potato has not yet been baked, and the people who come to the market to buy meat and vegetables have already discovered the difference in the roasted sweet potato in everyone's hands.

After their introduction, many people knew that there was one more merchant selling roasted sweet potatoes in the market today, but there was no one who really came to Sun Chen's stall to ask.

"Brother, why didn't anyone come to buy it?" Erniu asked Sun Chen with a sad face.

"What's the panic, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, there will always be people who know the goods~" Sun Chen pretended to reprimand.

In fact, his heart is also very bottomless, the sweet potatoes he roasted are really good, and others have seen them, why can't he buy them? Seeing that the stalls next to him had opened one after another, he was a little anxious.

Don't think about waiting for business to come to your door, then take the initiative and shout a few first!

"Roasted sweet potatoes, fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes that have just been baked, everyone come and buy them!"

Sun Chen's shouting voice was extremely loud, and he could hear it clearly in the noisy market, and some people who wanted to buy it just now looked at it.

"Little brother, how do you sell this roasted sweet potato?"

"Three pounds a pound, the first day of opening today, we buy more and there are discounts, more than two pounds will be counted as five dollars and two pounds."

"Even if it's five cents and two catties, this price is not cheap, right? Sweet potatoes are only a penny a pound! ”

"Big brother, you can't count it like that," Sun Chen was not annoyed by being disliked by others, and slowly broke with him sentence by sentence, "Sweet potatoes are a penny a pound, I have to roast them on fire, right?" I don't know how to cover charcoal, I always find someone to buy it. Besides, how much can be left after a pound of sweet potatoes is roasted? You should have tried it yourself at home, so you don't need to tell me about it, right? In this way, how much do you think I can earn you? That is, to make hard-earned money, which shouldn't be too much, right? ”

"Hehe, I really haven't thought about it so much, I'm sorry, brother." Being explained by Sun Chen like this, Dahan was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and apologizing to Sun Chen.

"What's this, if I come to buy something, I'll ask clearly." Sun Chen smiled at this black-faced man who was very likely to become his first customer, "Big brother, you see that our sweet potato is roasted, fragrant and sweet, and there is no burnt smell yet, I guarantee that you have eaten it once, and you still want to eat it next time~ Buy it back and try it!" ”

"Yes, I'm just boasting at you, I have to buy two to taste!"

"Okay! Big brother, do you think this is okay? Is it enough to eat? Sun Chen pointed to a slightly larger sweet potato, "Look at you so big, it's really not enough to eat if it's small~"

"Hahaha, let's call these two! I'll take it home if I can't finish it! ”

"Okay!"

After weighing, the two sweet potatoes weighed two and a half catties, Sun Chen charged him six yuan, and Dahan happily took the oily paper bag and left.

"Brother, you're amazing!" Erniu looked at Sun Chen adoringly and said, "If someone asks me like this just now, I really don't know how to answer correctly!" ”

"Hehe, our food is delicious and not expensive, no matter what you say~" Sun Chen smiled.

He is actually very excited, everything is difficult at the beginning, with someone taking the lead, I believe that this roasted sweet potato will soon be able to open up the situation in the market.

"Roasted sweet potato, fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potato, come and buy one and try it!" With motivation, Sun Chen shouted more energetically.

Sure enough, after leaving Dahan, people came to the stall to buy sweet potatoes one after another.

Some of them were several, and Sun Chen even saw the two vendors who had just eaten the first roasted sweet potatoes from inside. Both of them, Sun Chen, gave them a lot of discounts, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I am afraid that I will need their help in the future.

Some only bought one, obviously planning to eat while visiting the market, Sun Chen also carefully picked them out, weighed them and then wrapped them in oiled paper, and tried to make them all satisfied.

Unconsciously, the second furnace of roasted sweet potatoes has been sold for seventy-seven eighty-eight, Sun Chenyi totaled, these two furnaces used about fifty catties of sweet potatoes, the first furnace was given away, the money was confiscated, and the fraction that was erased was not counted, and a total of forty-two yuan was lost.

Forty-two yuan, maybe just enough for the capital of fifty catties of sweet potatoes, but Sun Chen is still very happy, selling one and getting one free can keep the capital, if all of them are sold, the profit is about to reach five, it is really not low, not low.

Even Sun Chen himself didn't expect that the third roasted sweet potato had just come out of the oven, and it was surrounded by people scrambling to buy it.

Seeing that the people who came and went in the market had almost every roasted sweet potato, Sun Chen really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, hahaha, roasted sweet potatoes are famous in the market!

Sun Chen was busy roasting sweet potatoes and selling sweet potatoes, and at the same time he was proud in his heart, hehehe, he said that he couldn't underestimate this little roasted sweet potato, right? Sure enough, it is my favorite snack when I used to go shopping, there is no one, even these ancients are like this!
