Chapter 381: Rainy Day

Those stall owners didn't dare to hit people, nor did they dare to lift the stalls, and after yelling and scolding for a while, seeing that Bai Mengdie was indifferent, they went to the market administrator.

The market administrator came soon, and asked Bai Mengdie to leave quickly with a cold face, otherwise he would go and call his colleagues to drive her brother and sister away, and when she lifted her stall, she wouldn't cry.

The few small vendors who were asking for sky-high prices were unhappy because Bai Mengdie refused to agree to the price they proposed.

Now seeing that the market administrator drove Bai Mengdie away, he gloated one by one: "You refused to ask you to pay 30 yuan, and now you are being driven away, and no one wants to give away these pickled vegetables for free in the rain!"

Lost a big watermelon in order to save a few sesame seeds, a fool is a fool! ”

The stall owners who sold braised vegetables all squinted at Bai Mengdie triumphantly: "We have good words and ask you to get out of the way, but you don't listen, we have to ask people to drive you away, it's really cheap!" ”

Shi Lei, who was not easily angry, was so angry that he wanted to quarrel with those people, but Bai Mengdie held his wrist tightly, signaling him not to be impatient.

Bai Mengdie knew that the administrator of the vegetable market was not the chengguan.

The chengguan is a public servant and does not dare to accept bribes, otherwise someone will report it and will be dismissed from public office once it is verified.

But the market manager is different, he is just a staff employed by the vegetable market, so these people can be bribed.

Bai Mengdie stuffed ten yuan in the hand of the market administrator: "Uncle, can you take care of it?" It's raining so hard outside now that I can't walk even if I want to. ”

Although the market administrator often takes bribes, none of those who give him benefits are not adults who are tens of years old!

It's really rare for a pink chubby girl like Bai Mengdie to be so good at things and not afraid of people.

The market administrator couldn't help but think of his daughter, if he was so troubled outside, he would be distressed.

He glanced at the food sold by Bai Mengdie, pointed to the hot and sour kelp and said, "Bring me a catty." ”

Although the market administrator doesn't want to be too embarrassed by Bai Mengdie because he also has a daughter, he will not be willing to let a person who is used to holding things not pluck two hairs.

But he didn't want to take too expensive, so as long as a pound of cold and sour and hot kelp shreds, although this dish is delicious, the cost is very low.

Bai Mengdie not only generously filled him with a pound of cold and sour and hot kelp, but also gave him a pound of braised pig's head meat: "Uncle, take it back and drink it, it's delicious." ”

The market administrator looked at Bai Mengdie more and more pleasing to the eye, and pointed to an empty stall at the back: "There is no one in that stall, you go to that stall to sell." ”

Bai Mengdie hesitated a little: "Although there is no one, but there is a master, what should I do if the stalls mainly come and don't let me sell them?" ”

The market administrator smiled: "Don't worry, because the location of that stall is not good, no one will rent it, and no one will come to drive you away." ”

Bai Mengdie relieved Shi Lei to pull the tricycle to the stall, and the brother and sister quickly set up the stall.

Although it was pouring rain, there were not many people who came to buy groceries.

Many people were attracted by the aroma of Bai Mengdie's pickled vegetables, so although Bai Mengdie's booth location was very poor, business was very hot.

The stall owners who sold braised vegetables and the few small vendors who wanted to ask for sky-high prices were all staring at her business with greedy eyes.

An hour later, Bai Mengdie saw that all the food was almost sold, so she asked Shi Lei to go back and send the second batch of braised vegetables in the wind and rain.

When they went out, the second batch of braised vegetables had not yet been marinated, so they didn't dare to bring it, but it must have been marinated by this time.

Shi Lei returned home soaking wet and startled Bai Aiguo and his family: "Why did you come back alone, what about your sister?" ”

Shi Lei wiped the rain on his face: "My sister sells braised vegetables and cold vegetables in the vegetable market, and they are almost sold, let me send her the second batch of braised vegetables." ”

Bai Aiguo felt sorry for Shi Lei: "You see that your clothes are soaked, you stay at home to take a bath, change your clothes, and Dad." ”

"It's okay, I'm fine, and I won't get sick in the rain." Shi Lei didn't care.

Bai Aiguo couldn't resist him, and the family of three put the second batch of braised vegetables in pots, put them on a tricycle, and then covered the braised vegetables with several layers of plastic sheeting.

Bai Aiguo was not at ease, and followed Shi Lei to the vegetable market in the rain.

Bai Aiguo stepped on the tricycle, and Bai Shilei followed behind, in case the plastic sheet was blown away by the wind and water entered the pickled vegetables.

The rain was too heavy, and the father and son were wearing newly bought raincoats, and the rain poured into their cheeks, wetting their clothes, but fortunately, not a drop of rain fell from the pickled vegetables.

Bai Mengdie sold out all the pickled vegetables and cold dishes, and was waiting for Shi Lei to deliver them to her, when she saw his father and son coming, she hurriedly helped move the pickled vegetables from the tricycle to the stall.

Then I stacked the previously sold braised vegetable pots and cold vegetable pots and put them on the tricycle, and soon there were customers to buy them.

Jiangcheng is the provincial capital, with a large population, and in nine or eight years, it was not as dense as Bai Mengdie's previous life, so he couldn't wait for a supermarket in five steps and a vegetable market in ten steps, so even if it rained heavily, there were endless people who came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

While doing business, Bai Mengdie thought in her heart, if the weather is good, I am afraid that there will be more people who come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, if you rent a stall here to sell braised vegetables and cold vegetables, you can get a lot of money in a month.

It's summer, it's very profitable to sell food stalls, if it's cold, who knows if the open-air food stalls are doing well, then come here to test the water and sell braised vegetables and cold dishes.

The second batch of braised vegetables was sold out in less than an hour.

The rain was still pouring down, and the father and son packed up their things and left.

With such a heavy rain, there were no pedestrians on the streets, except for those who had to come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Bai Mengdie originally planned to rent a store that specializes in selling barbecue and crayfish in the morning, but when she saw that there was so little traffic on the street, she dispelled this idea.

Back at home, Tian Chunfang had already prepared dinner, and the family sat down to eat.

Seeing Bai Mengdie's frowning and preoccupied appearance, Tian Chunfang put some shredded lean meat and mustard into her bowl: "Fluttershy, don't worry about those skewers.

The purchase price of vegetables is very cheap, and even if they are broken, they will only lose 20 yuan.

Although the 30 catties of foreleg meat used to make skewers are a bit expensive, if you really can't set up a stall tonight, you can send all these to the neighborhood and can't waste them, so don't worry. ”

Bai Mengdie nodded, it was useless to be worried.

It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that the rain stopped, and the family hurriedly went out of the stall, hoping to sell all the skewers, and how many crayfish could be sold, anyway, they were alive, and it was not that they couldn't be raised.

Bai Mengdie didn't think so, she wanted to sell all the crayfish planned that day, otherwise Bai Sheng and they would send crayfish tomorrow, and it would be troublesome to accumulate too many crayfish.

Bai Mengdie said to Tian Chunfang: "Mom, Fuli Textile Factory is not far from us, there are workers on the night shift at ten o'clock, you go there to sell small spicy crayfish, and Dad accompanies you to sell roasted corn."

My brother and I went to Qinyuan Road to set up a stall, I sell spicy crayfish, my brother sells barbecue, let's sell them separately, we should be able to sell out the crayfish. ”

She wants to stay on Qinyuan Road to sell spicy crayfish because many repeat customers there have already eaten the delicious food she made, and if she changes her cooking skills and sells spicy crayfish far inferior to her Tian Chunfang, people may not buy it.

And those young people from Fuli Textile Factory who had eaten the spicy crayfish cooked by Bai Mengdie himself were the hundreds of people who came that night.

Those hundreds of people didn't eat a few spicy crayfish, I'm afraid they only remember that it was delicious, but the specific taste has long been forgotten.

As long as the spicy crayfish cooked by Tian Chunfang is spicy enough, those young people will eat it very high.

Many stall owners who don't have much cooking skills but have a good business of food stalls, the secret of making food stalls is to make the taste heavy, and naturally some people eat it.

The family was divided into two roads, and when the two Bai Mengdie brothers and sisters went to Qinyuan Road, they saw that other food stalls were also coming and were setting up stalls.

The two brothers and sisters of Bai Mengdie also put their stalls down.

Bai Mengdie cooked spicy crayfish with her own hands, and instructed Shi Lei how to barbecue.

In less than ten minutes, Shi Lei got started, and Bai Mengdie focused on cooking spicy crayfish.

There had been a torrential rain before, so although 9 o'clock was the peak of food stalls, people were afraid of catching up with the rainstorm again, and there were not many people going out to shop.

The flow of people is limited, and the competition for food stalls on Qinguo Road is more fierce than usual.

In order to attract business, the dozen or so food stalls are all desperately shouting, and sometimes the two neighboring ones are fighting to grab customers.

Bai Mengdie is very good here, although the flow of people is only one-third of usual, it is no exaggeration to say that 70% of the diners went straight to Bai Mengdie's stall, asking for a few catties of spicy crayfish, some barbecue, two bottles of beer, and ate it deliciously.

In this kind of situation with few customers, which food stall is the most popular is immediately decided.

Although Shi Lei has few words, he is very clever, and even if he throws away all the vegetables and barbecue, it will only be twenty yuan.

But the wholesale price of frozen foreleg meat is two yuan a catty, and thirty catties are sixty yuan, which is much more expensive than vegetables, so he always sells meat skewers quietly when selling barbecue.

It was busy until about half past ten, and all the meat skewers were sold out, and the vegetable barbecue was almost sold.

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Bai Mengdie, most of the crayfish have been sold, and they should be sold out at half past eleven.

The result was better than he expected, and before half past eleven, the brother and sister had sold all the ingredients and packed up their things to go home.

Tian Chunfang and his wife passed by Qinyuan Road with a breakfast cart and a barbecue cart, and they were very happy to see that Bai Mengdie's brothers and sisters were all sold out.

The family of four only started talking after leaving Qinyuan Road.

Bai Mengdie saw that Tian Chunfang and his wife were all sold out, and asked if the business at the gate of Fuli Textile Factory was good.

Tian Chunfang said happily: "It's easy to do, don't wait for the people from the night shift to come out, our stall is set there, and as soon as the spicy crayfish is fried, someone will come to eat, and when the people from the night shift pour out, then it's like we don't need money for what we sell, rush to buy it!" ”

She discussed with Bai Mengdie: "Otherwise, your father and I will go to the gate of Fuli Textile Factory to set up a stall in the future, and you and your brother will set up a stall on Qinyuan Road, and the two stalls will be set up in two places, so you can sell faster, go home early and go to bed early." ”

Bai Mengdie shook her head: "If you sell snacks such as steamed buns and dumplings at the door of R&F Textile Factory for supper for employees who work night shifts, you can still do it for a long time."

If you set up a food stall to sell spicy crayfish and roasted corn, it is impossible to do good business every day, and it would be good if it could be popular for a week. ”

Tian Chunfang asked puzzledly: "Why?" ”

Bai Mengdie analyzed it for her: "Most of the employees of Fuli Textile Factory are young people from rural areas.

These young people are not like the young people in the city, they have nothing and come to the city with their dreams.

If you want to accumulate more wealth through hard work and build a beautiful small house for yourself in the countryside, you will not be willing to spend money on food stalls every day.

And crayfish and corn are all commonplace and worthless things in their country, our spicy crayfish sell for three yuan a catty, and roasted corn is a dollar a piece, which is too expensive in their eyes.

They can accept it once in a while, let them eat it every day, they don't think it's cost-effective, but buns and dumplings and the like, they are willing to spend money to eat them every day, and think it's worth it. ”

Bai Aiguo said with a smile: "The consumption concept of city people and country people is not on the same channel, but I like that country people are diligent and thrifty, and they eat as much as they eat in a bowl."

Young people in the city often consume regardless of their economic ability, what Sanyo tape recorder used to be popular, expensive to death, but young people in the city buy me too.... Alas! ”

Bai Mengdie also smiled.

She remembered a joke she had read on the Internet in her previous life, a group of young migrant workers and a group of young white-collar workers took the subway, and the white-collar workers all used expensive mobile phones of a foreign fruit brand, and the migrant workers all used domestic mobile phones with relatively low prices.

The group of migrant workers talked to each other about their wages on the construction site.

Working on a construction site is not about the monthly salary, but about how much each job is.

Among them, the lowest price of a small worker is several hundred, which means that a random small worker can earn at least more than 10,000 yuan a month on the construction site.

The group of urban white-collar workers standing beside the group of migrant workers silently put their mobile phones in their pockets.

Although they use the latest and most expensive mobile phones, most of them only get a salary of three or four thousand, which cannot be compared with other migrant workers~

Bai Mengdie said: "Dad, don't dislike the consumption concept of young people in the city, it is this consumption concept that can drive the economy!" ”

Bai Aiguo smiled: "That's, that's." ”

The family returned to the community while talking, and after putting away the things, the two brothers and sisters returned home, and Shi Lei boiled hot water to bathe Bai Mengdie.

Bai Mengdie fell asleep after taking a shower and going to bed, and Tian Chunfang and his wife were still busy in the rental house, one was dough and the other was boiled eggs.

Tian Chunfang cracked the shell of the boiled egg with a spatula and glanced out of the window worriedly.

The city is becoming more and more polluted, and the sky is gray all year round, and it is impossible to judge the weather by relying on the starry sky like the countryside.

"Patriotic, what if it rains tomorrow morning? If our family can't get out of the stall, there will be a lot of people who go hungry. ”

Bai Aiguo also glanced out the window: "If you really want to do that, you can't do it~ I will take the time to buy a few big umbrellas for the stall in the rain tomorrow, even if it rains in the future, the stall can be out early." ”
