Chapter Twenty-Nine: Crazy Little Potato
When Shui Yao heard this, he immediately became interested. Then he quickly took out two cents and gave it to Shui Yun.
After giving the money, the woman looked around and made sure that there were no militiamen wearing red armbands to check, so she quickly took out two small bags of peanuts and stuffed them to Shui Yun.
When Shui Yun excitedly stuffed a small packet of peanuts into Shui Yao to taste, the taste of the peanuts disappointed Shui Yao: the peanuts did not add any other condiments except salt. And in Shui Yao's experience, this peanut rice is not newly made that day at all, and when you taste it, you know that it is damp and not delicious at all.
Looking at his younger brother who was eager to eat, Shui Yao couldn't help but sigh a long sigh: In this era, it is really to support the bold and starve the timid. At such a level, this group of children likes it so much.
"Yunyun, do you really think these peanuts are delicious?"
When Shui Yun heard this, he was also stunned: "Alas, when Aunt Li first came over, this thing was actually quite delicious. But it doesn't seem to taste as good now as it used to be......"
"Is it a slight bitter taste while eating?"
Shui Yun listened and nodded busily: "That's right, there is indeed a bitter taste, but Aunt Li was the same when she first started selling this peanut." I told her twice in the middle, but it didn't seem to taste much better after that. ”
The taste of peanuts can be known by the water. At that time, he used canola oil when he made it. Not only is the color of this rapeseed oil unsightly, but it also has a slightly bitter taste.
However, in this era, it is already very good for ordinary people to eat rapeseed oil regularly. Like those pork fats, they can only kill the New Year pigs during the New Year, and every household can buy a few taels of fat meat and take it back to refine.
After a while, the door of the school opened, and before Shui Yun entered, Shui Yao took out a few packets of finished potato chips from the basket and handed them to him: "Yunyun, this is what my sister just made in the morning." You keep some of it for yourself, and you can watch the rest and give it to your good friend to taste. ”
When Shui Yao sent his younger brother away, he came back to see that Aunt Li, who sold peanuts, had sold things in a short period of time and was almost ready to leave.
So, Shui Yao didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly found a place to stop, and began to deal with his own things.
At this time, there were still a lot of children at the school gate, but after they saw Shui Yao, they only stopped occasionally and didn't ask too much, so they went to Aunt Li's side to buy things.
Shui Yao understood at a glance that he couldn't stand still. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to sell even a bag of potatoes one morning. So he also began to take the initiative.
"Little brother, do you like potato chips? Don't worry, my sister is not a liar. It's not delicious, it's not worth money! If you don't believe me, my sister will give you a pack first. ”
After Shui Yao finished speaking, he took out a small packet of potato chips from the basket and stuffed it to his little brother, and then sent out a few packets in the same way. But even so, a few children were embarrassed to ask her the price.
"Four cents a pack, if you buy more, I can give you three packs for a dime."
"Sister, I don't have enough money to bring, will you come over tomorrow?"
As soon as Shui Yao heard that there was a door, this little girl would definitely come to find her tomorrow, so she simply responded: "I'll come back tomorrow, don't worry!" If you think it's delicious, don't forget to pull a few more classmates to come and buy it! ”
So under Shui Yao's half-giveaway and half-sale, the potato chips made in the morning were quickly sold. When Shui Yao was about to leave, an unfamiliar voice behind her stopped her.
"Big sister, how can you sell things like this? I see you've done so much this morning, I'm afraid you don't have much to get in hand, right? ”
Shui Yao looked back and saw that it was Aunt Li who sold peanuts in the morning. Listening to her words, Shui Yao was not annoyed, but replied generously: "Don't get in the way, I don't have much experience on the first day, I don't ask for how much money I can sell, as long as the children eat happily."
When Sister Li heard this, she was relieved steadily. She had just spoken to Shui Yao with the intention of being tempted, and she didn't know how long this little girl planned to sell here. But it seems that she will not come back the next day. Then, no matter how delicious her food is, there will be no threat to her business. So he said no more, picked up his empty basket and left.
After Shui Yao returned home, he began to count today's results: he made a full fifty packets of potato chips this time. Excluding the bags that were given to his younger brother Shui Yun and the children at the school gate at the beginning, there were 35 packs that were actually sold. However, because those children don't have a lot of money, each person only buys one pack at a time. So in the end, she sold a whole piece of four cents for two potatoes!
This result made Shui Yao very satisfied: you must know that her father Shui Daquan only paid about 30 yuan a month. And she's just trying to sell it today. If the response is better, then the sales channel will be opened, and the profit will be far more than today. And there are many big potatoes in her own yard in the backyard, so that two potatoes can be sold so much, it seems that this snack is still very promising.
Sure enough, after Shui Yun returned home in the afternoon, he found Shui Yao with great interest, and kept pulling his sister's sleeve, his eyes were full of admiration: "Sister, you are so good, after I distributed those potato chips to my classmates today, they all thought they were very delicious, and asked me noisily where I bought them, saying that I must buy a few more packs tomorrow!"
When Shui Yao heard this, as she expected, her potato chips were very popular with the children. With this realization, Mizuhara decided to increase sales. However, this time she didn't dare to prepare too much, so she dug up three large potatoes from the backyard. The next day. Mainly by sending his younger brother Shuiyun to school, he brought the finished potato chips over.
As a result, as soon as Shen Yao walked to the school gate, many children were waiting at the place where she sold things yesterday. As soon as they saw Shui Yao, the children came up one by one and scrambled to ask, "Sister, are you still selling that potato chip today?" That's delicious, I brought extra pocket money from home today, and I want to buy three packs with you at a time. ”
After saying that, Xiao Bu took out a crumpled dime from his pocket and handed it over. Shui Yao was not ambiguous, took the money quickly, and then took out three packets of potato chips from the basket. After Xiao Budian took it, the whole person smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and happily took his things and entered the school gate.
With previous experience, the eighty packets of potato chips that Shui Yao made today were quickly snatched up. And such a grand occasion caused Sister Li, who sold peanuts, to feel very unhappy.
She thought that this skinny little girl was just selling things on a spur of the moment. Unexpectedly, she snatched her business in such a short period of time.
The peanuts that can usually be sold out in about ten minutes, but she has been standing here for a whole hour today, and she hasn't sold a few packs. Such a result made Sister Li feel sour when she saw Shui Yao.
Now, seeing that Shui Yao was about to leave, Sister Li couldn't take care of it, so she stopped her as she did yesterday: "Little girl." Do you remember me? We saw it yesterday, did you sell out so quickly? ”
Shui Yao saw that it was still the eldest sister from yesterday, so he stopped. Compared with the disdain in her tone yesterday, she was a little more inquisitive in her words today. After all, Shui Yao is also an old man who has been in business for more than ten years, and she didn't need to think about it too much, and she saw through the eldest sister's mind at a glance.
"Yes, today's things are selling fast, also because of good luck and coincidence."
When Sister Li heard this, her heart was even more unhappy: "Big sister, you can say this, this is lucky, I see that this thing you sell is quite popular." Do you have any left? Can you sell me a pack too? My mouth is tight, too. ”
As soon as Shui Yao heard Sister Li's words, she tasted it: This Sister Li bought potato chips with her, where do you want to eat them yourself? It's clear that I want to take it back and study it myself. Because from a businessman's point of view, Sister Li must be a thousand and ten thousand guests who are unwilling to snatch her by herself.
But for such a thing, the water is very open. Doing business pays attention to harmony, and it is inevitable to have competitors, and you can't just care about making a fortune for yourself. However, Shui Yao doesn't plan to make potato chips for a long time, after all, this can only make a small amount of money at most, and it doesn't hurt to sell things to her.
When she lifted the black cloth that covered the basket, she found it empty. Shui Yao had to say to Sister Li apologetically: "I'm sorry, eldest sister, all the potatoes have been sold out today, why don't you think it will work another day?"
When Sister Li saw that Shui Yao did not immediately refuse herself, she was secretly surprised: since she made money selling peanuts at the gate of this elementary school, she was in the same production team as herself, and people who usually had good personal relations had also asked her many times about the practice of peanuts. But in order to make money by herself, she was stunned and refused to speak.
In her own opinion, this little girl's approach really puzzled her: isn't this girl afraid that after she learns how to make potato chips, she will steal her business in the future?
Looking at the back of Shui Yao's departure, Sister Li was extremely complicated. But for Sister Li's various reactions, Shui Yao didn't take it to heart. At this time, Shui Yao only cared about how much he sold when he went out today.
As soon as I got home, there were ten tickets for a dime alone, and the rest were bits and pieces. Shui Yao counted and found that after a short time today, she sold it for three yuan!
