117. The trade is opened
The next day, Shi Dayong went to the grain store and bought all the food and oil supplied by the whole family.
Since you want to do fried twist flowers as a business, then everything has to be calculated, Sun Xiufang tried to make a pound of noodles first, she put some salt in the noodles, live hard, and when the noodles woke up, they were divided into small agents, and taught Wang Ying to rub them hand-in-hand, and the finished product was exactly the same as the one sold in the store, and the taste was also good, very crispy and delicious, so I put my mind at ease.
The next day, this is an important day, the first transaction of the old Shi family is about to open, the first day, Sun Xiufang did not dare to do long, she sent five catties of noodles, rubbed sixty twists out,
Wang Ying found a bamboo basket, a layer of kraft paper underneath, and the twist was neatly stacked into the basket, and a pile of kraft paper for packaging was placed on it.
Everything was ready, the family put all their hopes on Ruimin, Wang Ying lifted the basket and solemnly handed it to Ruimin, "Fourth, the rest is up to you." β
The bamboo basket that didn't seem to be too heavy seemed to weigh a thousand catties in Ruimin's hands, he hesitated for a moment, and said with a sad face: "Big brother, I still don't know how to sell it." β
It's all up to this, you are still retreating, Shi Dayong held his younger brother's shoulders and sent it out, "What's so difficult about this, when you see someone, you shout 'sell twist flowers', if someone wants you, you sell it to him, and no one wants to pull it down." β
Shi Dayong kept sending Ruimin to the gate, patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and his eyes were full of encouragement, "Fourth, go ahead, you will definitely do it, remember a dime." β
"Big brother, I'm ......" Ruimin turned back three times in one step.
Shi Dayong pushed the back of his hand outward several times, and said kindly: "Go, go!" β
Ruimin walked a few steps and was still unwilling, he wanted to fight for it again, to see if the eldest brother could change the main one, "big brother ......"
This is not angry, Shi Dayong's eyes glared slightly, "What else do you not understand?" β
Ruimin saw that there was really no way, so he had to carry the basket to the city, the closer he got to the city, the more pedestrians came, Ruimin was embarrassed to shout, his mouth squirmed a few times, "Sell twist flowers!" The voice was so small that he could barely hear it, and after every shout, he quickly observed the people around him, whether anyone would laugh at him.
When he arrived at a small bazaar, Ruimin found a place with few people, squatted there, put the basket in front of him, and stared at the pedestrians who came and went, hoping that someone would come and ask him what he was selling.
Ruimin looks like he is not doing business at all, but like he is looking for a place to rest when he is tired of visiting relatives, and the result is obvious, and naturally no one will come to ask.
Ruimin squatted in the sun, even in the sun and nervous, after a while, his body was sweating, he dragged the basket back, found a shade and continued to squat, squatting for about an hour, his feet were numb, he felt that he could give the eldest brother an explanation, so he was confident to carry the basket and prepare to go home.
The thing is ready, but there is no bottom in my heart whether I can sell it or not, from getting up early in the morning to making the twist out of the pot, most of the day has passed, Sun Xiufang chatted with Wang Ying while cleaning up the panel, "Yingzi, do you say that your four brothers can sell the twist flowers?" β
Guang was busy rubbing twist flowers, and lunch was all dealt with, and when he was free, Wang Ying hurriedly brushed out the pots and pans, "Who knows, we haven't done business either." β
Shi Dayong heard it and sneered, "What are you two worried about?" Let me tell you, there are no snacks sold on the street now, let's have one copy, and no one can buy it? Look at it, the fourth child will be back in a while, really, I'm not upset to listen to me. β
Shi Dayong painted such a beautiful prospect, Sun Xiufang and Wang Yingniang had confidence, and the scene in their minds was that as soon as Ruimin arrived on the street, the twist flowers in the basket were snatched up.
Thinking like this, I was still worried in my heart, Sun Xiufang still looked at the door several times, and looked forward to Ruimin's return.
Shi Dayong was right, Ruimin really came back in a while, he put the untouched basket on the table, and first publicized his hard work, "But I'm tired, I have to drink saliva quickly." β
"Oops, it's sold out so quickly!" The wrinkles on Sun Xiufang's happy face smiled like a chrysanthemum, she walked over and lifted the cotton cloth to take a look, the result was too unexpected, what was the way she came back when she left, none of them moved, "Fourth, why did you get it, why didn't you sell a single one?" β
Ruimin wiped the water stains from his mouth and said, "No one wants it!" β
"Impossible." Shi Dayong frowned and picked up the basket, and the crispy twist flowers made a rustling sound as they shook, "Did you do what I said?" β
"It's done." Ruimin replied.
"Did you shout?"
Ruimin was a little weak-hearted, and his voice was a little quieter, "I shouted, I learned from you, and I shouted to sell twist flowers." β
"Ruimin." Wang Ying noticed Ruimin's unnatural expression on the side, and then asked, "Where have you gone, is there anyone who is missing, where have you gone?" β
Wang Ying suddenly said the situation at that time, Ruimin was a little dumbfounded, glanced at Shi Dayong, and found that the eldest brother was staring at him, and Ruimin was frightened "whoosh" and retracted his gaze, staring at the tips of his shoes, "I, I, I ......"
"What are you?" Shi Dayong also saw that this younger brother must be where there are fewer people, this business is to go to a place with a lot of people, where you go, that's not business, that's a big bend.
"Ruimin, this is not how to do business, my sister-in-law taught you, you go to the door of the movie theater, the door of the department store, where there are more people." Wang Ying came up with an idea.
This unlucky, Shi Da had a stomach full of courage, carried the basket, grabbed Ruimin's wrist and walked out, "Let's go, I'll go with you, I won't believe it, I can't sell a single twist!" β
Ruimin didn't dare to refute, and after the eldest brother, the two brothers returned to the city. Wang Ying said just now, go to the door of department stores and movie theaters, there are many people in that place. Passing by the film company, Shi Dayong led Ruimin in to take a look, remembering the opening time of the movie, today's point is not coincidental, there are still nearly two hours before the opening, "Let's go, let's go to the department store first." β
"Hmm." Ruimin followed Shi Dayong honestly, and the eldest brother said that he would go wherever he went.
There are indeed a lot of people in the department store, Shi Dayong found a street corner with a lot of traffic, lifted the cotton cloth on the basket, revealing the twist flowers inside, he wanted to shout a few times, don't say, he was really embarrassed, but in order to set an example for his younger brother, he had to be hard-headed, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly, "Sell twist flowers-"
The first shout, the second is not difficult, Shi Dayong then shouted a few more words: "Sell twist flowers-" Shi Dayong looked at Ruimin after shouting, "See, it's like this, it's your turn." β
Ruimin glanced at his eldest brother and opened his mouth, "Sell, sell twist flowers-"
The voice was too quiet, Shi Dayong frowned, "You be louder, don't act like you haven't eaten at noon." β
Ruimin raised his voice again, "Sell twist flowersβ"
"Louder!" Shi Dayong was still not satisfied.
Ruimin was ruthless and went with him, as soon as he closed his eyes, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Sell-twist-"
Ruimin's voice really had an effect, and someone surrounded him at that time, "How much does it cost to sell twist flowers?" β
When business came to the door, Shi Dayong was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought the basket up to show people, "Comrade, look at my twist flowers, they are big, fragrant and clean, as long as they cost a dime, how about it?" Have a try? β
"Do you want food stamps?"
"No, just a dime."
You don't need food stamps for a dime and a twist, and the price is okay, "Then you can get me two." β
"Okay." Shi Dayong rolled two twist flowers with spare kraft paper and handed them over, it was as simple as that, and the two cents were in hand.
Shi Dayong put the basket into Ruimin's hand and stood aside, "Learn." β
It's really profitable, and there is a big brother on the side to support him, Ruimin also has confidence, and continues to shout loudly, after a while, you three and I have two, and a basket of twist flowers will be sold cleanly.
The two brothers couldn't keep their mouths together happily, and the pace of their home felt extremely brisk.
Why did I come back so soon after I went out for a while, Wang Ying felt that her heart sank, it was over, and she didn't sell it, forget it, if you can't sell it, you can't sell it, it means that we are not the material for doing business, but fortunately, there are not many twist flowers in sixty, so we should improve the food for the family.
"Mother, sister-in-law, guess how much we sold?" Ruimin happily put the basket at his feet.
Q: How much was sold? This means that there is something to buy, as long as there is something to buy, Wang Ying's heart is more steady, but these two brothers came back so soon, faster than Ruimin himself went out, how much can they sell if they sell it? She said tentatively, "Ten? β
Ruimin shook his head, and Shi Dayong was also sold by his younger brother, and he pursed his lips and smiled silently.
"Twenty?" Sun Xiufang stood next to her and looked at the basket.
"That's not right." Ruimin still shook his head.
"You can't sell thirty of them." Wang Ying didn't guess either, she stepped forward and lifted the basket, and the fluttering basket shook Wang Ying for a moment, she was stunned, and then laughed, "Mother, there is no one left, it's all sold out." β
"I'll see, I'll see." Sun Xiufang still didn't believe it, she lifted the cotton cloth and looked, sure enough, there was no one left, "Great!" There really wasn't a single one left. She was overjoyed, and rubbed her hands vigorously, "I want to live ten catties of noodles tomorrow, ah no, twenty catties of noodles, no, I will live out before going to bed tonight, and tomorrow the noodles will be sent in the morning, and I can start doing it when I get up." β
Finally found a way to get money, the family was very happy, Sun Xiufang praised her son vigorously, "You are still brave, you are amazing, you found such a good deal." β
The corners of Shi Dayong's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he agreed with his mother's statement 100%, "Of course I'm amazing, the more money our family makes in the future, the better life will be." β
