Chapter Twenty-Five: Beginning to Sell Paper
These papers are more expensive than masks, and Zhou can't help but be a little worried about whether they won't be able to sell.
"Don't worry, my pricing is very reasonable, and there will be a lot of people who will buy it." Gu Xiaoyou said with confidence, ten yuan is equivalent to two yuan, and two yuan and fifty pieces of toilet paper are already very cheap.
Zhou was still a little worried, Gu Xiaoyou simply taught Zhou the shouting words she had come up with.
The three of them divided the rest of the toilet paper before they dispersed in the moonlight.
The next day, Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou came to the store early and hung a string of firecrackers at the door.
Gu Xiaoyou glanced at the time on his mobile phone and said to Zhou: "The auspicious time has come, Sister Zhou should light firecrackers." ”
"Okay." Zhou covered his ears with one hand and held a stick of incense in the other, and lit the firecrackers.
The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out, attracting the attention of the neighborhood.
The sound of firecrackers went out, and Zhou followed Gu Xiaoyou's teaching, holding a few pieces of toilet paper, waving them and shouting at the door: "The softest and most comfortable straw paper in this dynasty, don't miss it when you pass by......"
The soft toilet paper swayed in the wind, and sure enough, someone came over curiously and asked, "How soft can the softest straw paper be?" ”
Zhou quickly took out the sample, Gu Xiaoyou took the sample and introduced it aloud: "This is the paper made by our Gu's workshop, we call it toilet paper, toilet paper, not only can be used as straw paper, but it can be used instead of hand towels, wipe your face without hurting your skin, you can also replace a handkerchief, wipe your mouth, blow your nose, convenient and hygienic ......"
Gu Xiaoyou said vividly, and the people passing by at the door of the store were gradually attracted, and a group of people were surrounded after a while.
Gu Xiaoyou saw that there were more people, so he took out a few pieces of toilet paper and distributed them: "You can touch it and feel the softness of the toilet paper." ”
The people who got the toilet paper experimented one after another, and were amazed by the magical touch of the toilet paper, and exclaimed: "It's amazing, it's so comfortable to pinch in your hand, it's really very soft......"
The people in the back heard this and shouted, "The one in front of me will pass on the paper, and we want to try it too." ”
"Don't worry, you can try it today."
Zhou divided a few pieces of paper over, and the onlookers touched the toilet paper in twos and threes, and discussed in a low voice: "Why is this paper, much softer than straw paper, if you go to the thatched house, it must be very comfortable." ”
"yes, but it shouldn't be cheap, after all, paper is expensive."
"It's amazing that you want to buy it even if it's expensive."
"Hey, isn't that Gu Shen Doctor, she said that it is good for the skin, I feel very credible."
"Yes, yes, it's Doctor Gu, then what she said must be right, the previous mask was also invented by her."
"Then let's ask the price."
They discussed it for a while and asked Gu Xiaoyou, "Doctor Gu, how did you sell this toilet paper?" ”
Gu Xiaoyou picked up a stack of toilet paper and said loudly: "Ten cents and fifty pieces." ”
"So expensive?" After hearing this, some people immediately retreated, and a stack of straw paper was only three to five yuan, and she actually doubled it.
But seeing such a good paper, some county residents didn't care about the price, and waved their hands: "Bring me five stacks." ”
Seeing that the business was coming, Zhou immediately wrapped it neatly in kraft paper, handed him the toilet paper, and the county people took out fifty yuan, took the toilet paper and left happily.
With the first one to buy, others also bought one after another.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, several county residents discussed, pooled money to buy one, and divided it aside.
Others followed suit, and soon the toilet paper in the store was sold out.
Zhou didn't expect this kind of paper to be so easy to sell, and secretly pulled Gu Xiaoyou aside: "Xiaoyou, this paper is so easy to sell, do you want to take out the paper and sell it?" ”
Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "Let's do this today." ”
After the words fell, she turned back to everyone and said, "Today's toilet paper is sold out, if you need it, please come back tomorrow." ”
Although Zhou didn't understand the reason, he had already made a lot of money today, so he obediently closed the door of the store and returned to the backyard with Gu Xiaoyou.
The two of them came to the hut in the backyard, Gu Xiaoyou poured all the money received that day on the table, and counted them with the Zhou family in a pile.
"One, two...... Two hundred, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand...... Two thousand eight hundred and five. Zhou counted twice, and said excitedly to Gu Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, we actually sold two thousand eight hundred and fifty pieces of silver today. ”
Gu Xiaoyou smiled slightly, her expression was very calm, after all, she was a person who had seen five hundred taels of gold.
"It's just 2,850 yuan, and this is just the beginning." Today she is just testing the waters, waiting for these people to bring her customers, if it really sells for more than this price.
"What is a mere amount, this money is enough for ordinary people to live for a month." Zhou said angrily, Xiaoyou is good at everything, but he doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
Gu Xiaoyou stuck out his tongue: "It was really not easy for ancient people to make money. ”
"Of course, it's not easy to make money, I used to do embroidery for a month before I ......," Zhou said bitterly, hoping that Gu Xiaoyou would understand the hardships of making money.
Gu Xiaoyou saw that the Zhou family was going to talk at length again, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Sister Zhou, let's put the money away first, and get it to the money bank for silver taels in a while." ”
"Okay, then let's keep some of it, and save the rest......" Zhou said babblingly, carefully putting away the silver taels.
Gu Xiaoyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully changed the topic.
She helped Zhou's collect the silver taels together, and according to Zhou's wishes, she saved the money, and the boss of the money bank issued a bill to them.
Gu Xiaoyou glanced at it and put it in Zhou's hand: "Sister Zhou, you take care of the money in our family." ”
"How can this be made, the money is all earned by you, so I will do a little favor."
As if receiving a hot potato, Zhou put the bill in Xiaoyou's hand.
"You just take it, you know the price of the things here better than me, and your heart is finer than mine, I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you."
Gu Xiaoyou simply stuffed it into Zhou's arms, and Zhou couldn't say anything about her, so he had to put the bill close to him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of the money." Zhou solemnly promised, his eyes shining with emotion.
She will definitely live up to Xiaoyou's trust and take care of everything for her.
"Sister Zhou, let's have a good meal today, I've been busy these days, and Liang'er hasn't eaten well."
"Okay, I'll cook today, you can eat whatever you want."
"Great, I want to eat ......"
Gu Xiaoyou reported the names of several dishes in one go, and Zhou was very generous this time, and bought all the ingredients she said.
The two of them happily returned home, and Zhou cooked a table full of meals.
Gu Xiaoyou washed Liang'er's hands, took him to the table and sat down, and when he saw the sumptuous dishes, his eyes widened when he saw the sumptuous dishes, and he said in unison: "It's so fragrant." ”
