49, the first sale (the eleventh day of the first month)
Everything was ready, and before dawn the next day, Su Rui took Su Ying to get on the ox cart, and set off for the county seat with Su Changle and Su Changying's family.
Su Rui didn't go to the county seat so early, but she didn't expect that there was a special morning market in the morning in the county, there were a lot of people, Su Ying saw so many people, and she grabbed Su Rui's sleeve a little nervously, and Su Rui patted it gently.
"Don't be nervous, remember what the eldest sister called you on the road."
"Hmm" agreed, but she still didn't let go of her hand, and Su Rui glanced at her and went to her.
Su Changying parked the ox cart at the door of the grocery store, paid a penny to help take care of it, and picked up a load of hemp leaf chicken cake, "Then I'll take Ying girl?" ”
Su Rui nodded and instructed: "It's okay if you can't sell things, you must pay attention to safety and don't quarrel with people." ”
Su Changying laughed, "Don't worry, it's okay to have me." ”
"Alas........." Su Rui watched the two of them walk towards the market, and discussed it on the way, he and Su Ying went to the market, she and Su Changle walked the alley, and turned around the house.
"Su Ji hemp leaves, chicken cakes, ancestral secret recipes, don't miss it when you pass by."
Su Rui walked a few steps and shouted. At first, no one cared about it, and after shouting a few more times, someone really had to open the door and ask, "Su Ji Ma Ye?" Chicken cake? What is it? ”
Su Rui's enthusiastic plate, which was specially cut chicken cake pieces that were prepared for customers to taste for free yesterday: "Auntie, we are a pastry made by the Su family's ancestral secret recipe, eat." You're guaranteed to eat and want to eat. Do you taste it? ”
Nowadays, people are relatively simple, and they will buy a pound and a half of them after tasting it, unlike modern times, many people go to the supermarket and can't wait to fill themselves with free samples...
"Really?"
The aunt took it in her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, she didn't think there was anything special, she smelled it with some suspicion, a sweet smell came from her nose, she tasted a small piece of chicken cake carefully, and her eyes widened in surprise, "This, this taste is really good." ”
"Auntie, I'm trying these two," Su Rui took half a sweet and salty hemp leaf and handed it to her.
"Well, yes, yes. It's really delicious, how do you want to sell it? ”
Su Rui smiled: "Auntie, we are now opening a big deal, doing activities!" Buy three catties and get half a catty, buy five catties and get one catty, all of which are thirty dollars a catty. ”
"Auntie, our chicken cakes are all pure white flour, made with eggs and sugar, and the hemp leaves are fried with a lot of oil, all of which are genuine. Guarantee that you can't buy a loss, and you can't be fooled. ”
The man couldn't laugh, and opened his mouth to stop: "You girl, you can't have a good mouth, and I didn't say I wouldn't buy it." Okay, I want five catties, three catties of chicken cakes, two catties of sweet hemp leaves, and the one pound I send will be salty hemp leaves. ”
Su Chang was happy to see that it was sold, so he hurriedly put down the flat shoulder and began to pack hemp leaves and chicken cakes.
"Okay, my aunt has a total of one hundred and fifty Wen, thank you for your patronage."
The man took the packaged food, put away the companion who had found it, turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back sharply and asked, "By the way, what if I want to buy it in the future?" ”
Su Rui: "Auntie, we have been selling near the market recently, and if we can't see it later, I guess we will rent a stall or shop." ”
"Okay."
The opening was smooth and sold a copy, and then it sold faster, in less than half an hour, all of them were sold out, and a lot of them were not bought, and they asked if they would come tomorrow, and got an accurate answer, so they let Su Rui and the others leave.
When I returned to the ox cart, I saw that Su Ying and the others had already returned, and it seemed that they had been back for a while.
Su Changying danced like this Su Rui and the two of them depicted the scene at that time.
"As soon as we arrived at the bazaar, before we started shouting, someone had already asked, someone just bought a pound to taste, took two bites on the spot and bought another five pounds, and people began to grab it all of a sudden. It was sold out in less than two quarters of an hour. ”
Su Ying has never had such a sense of accomplishment as today, and said happily: "Eldest sister, we can prepare more today, many people were recommended by relatives and friends to buy it, and as a result, I found that it was sold out, and I said that I would come back tomorrow." ”
Su Rui didn't expect it to sell so quickly, she was ready for the morning: "Okay, then let's go back now." ”
Su Changying hurriedly turned the ox cart around, "Let's go"
On the way back, Su Changle asked, "Rui girl, how did you come up with those words?" ”
Su Rui smiled when she heard this: "Isn't this what the vendors outside often shout at?" I just added some words and changed a little bit, there is no difference. ”
"Eldest sister, we didn't shout, and someone bought it."
Su Rui pinched Su Ying's face: "So my second sister is really powerful." Keep up the good work tomorrow..."
"Hmm"
When I arrived at Su Rui's house, Aunt Hua and others were also there, and Su Rui told everyone the good news.
Aunt Hua said excitedly: "Then we are going to do it now, you can rest for a while." ”
Aunt Lin also explained: "Min'er, you can't do anything else, just paste the oil paper bag." ”
"Okay, mother"
When they were all busy, Su Rui began to settle accounts with Su Changying and the others: "Thirty pounds of one catty, we made a total of fifty pounds of hemp leaves, fifty pounds of chicken cakes, we sent five catties here, you sent them?" ”
Su Changying hurriedly answered: "I sent three catties"
Su Rui continued: "Well, that is to give eight catties, and ninety-two catties, that is, two thousand seven hundred and sixty wen, excluding the cost of ten wen per catty, one hundred catties is a penny, we earned one thousand seven hundred and sixty wen, and one of you has two achievements of three hundred and fifty-two wen." ”
Su Rui settled the accounts, threaded the copper coins with threads, and pushed them in front of them: "Uncle Chang Le, Uncle Chang Ying, these are what you deserve." ”
Su Changle trembled and took the copper coin, he didn't expect to earn more than 300 copper coins in less than half a day in his lifetime... Think about how he went out to find odd jobs, and it was only fifty or sixty copper coins a day at most.
Su Changying was also very happy, he went out early and returned late to drive the ox cart to pick up people, and he made less than a penny in winter, which easily earned more than three hundred in less than two quarters of an hour, and maybe more tomorrow...
Seeing that the two of them were immersed in some kind of world, Su Rui didn't bother, just drank tea quietly.
After a long while, Su Changle came back to his senses: "Rui girl, uncle doesn't say nothing, if you have anything in the future, uncle will definitely help." ”
Su Changying also promised: "Add an uncle too." ”
Su Rui smiled: "Now there is someone who needs Uncle Chang Ying's help, didn't I say that I wanted to buy a donkey cart a year ago?" You're not saying that donkeys have a bad temper and let buy mule carts. ”
"Yes, I said it."
Su Rui continued: "I want to buy it in these two days, the ox cart is too slow, and there is no carriage on the car, it is okay if it does not rain or snow now, in case it rains and snows, whether it is chicken cake or hemp leaves, it will be ruined." ”
Su Changle felt that this was a big deal: "Chang Ying, you go back and forth to the county, you should know a lot of people." ”
Su Changying nodded: "I know that there is a Majia village ten miles away from our village, and there are several families in their village that raise donkeys and mules. ”
Su Changle said: "Then I'll go with you?" ”
"Okay, we'll go now."
Su Rui hurriedly stopped, pointed to the hourglass and said, "It's breakfast time for this horse, and it's not too late to go after eating." I won't run for lunch, we still have the steamed buns we made for the New Year, so let's eat some of them. ”
After lunch, Su Rui handed Su Changle eighty taels of silver ingots, "Uncle Chang Ying said that the mules range from about forty taels to sixty taels, and the carriages cost about fifteen taels to twenty taels. ”
Su Changle put down the silver and said, "Rui girl, don't worry." Your Uncle Chang Ying and I will pick a good mule to come back. ”
Su Rui smiled: "I must believe you." Be careful all the way..."
