Chapter 1019: Digging a Pond
Liu Xiuxiu drew a drawing on the map according to the scale, the seat of the pond, the position of the tree and the seat of the table, and how to design the pond.
Now is also the time of farming, it is not difficult to ask a few people to dig the pond, Liu Xiuxiu and Ge Luo went back to the village, and talked about this matter, many people came to sign up, in this kind of time when there is no work to do, it is naturally better to have one more entry.
Liu Xiuxiu estimated that if it was completed in one day, plus Ge Luo and the two children in the family could also help a little, five people would probably be enough.
Liu Xiuxiu and the few people invited agreed to give them a salary of 15 yuan a day, and then package them for a meal at noon, and let them go to their shop early the next morning to wait.
It happened that Liu Xiuxiu chose to rest in her own store, and when these people were all assembled, plus the people in the family followed the drawings, they could get the pond in the yard and Liu Xiuxiu's heart in one day.
Liu Xiuxiu also deliberately asked them to bury a few sections of lotus root under the pond, bought some lotus seeds, sprinkled them in, and finally went to the pond of her sister, dug a lot of water chestnuts, and prepared to throw them into the pond as well, so that they could still eat lotus root in autumn and winter.
The water chestnut in Sisi Pond has not been specially taken care of, it is almost the same as the wild one, because it did not cost money, Liu Xiuxiu also dug a lot in the pond, no matter whether it can survive next year or not, it won't cost much anyway, that's it.
After the pond was finished, two saplings were planted and planted by the pond, and there was no need for much watering. I invited five people to come over, fifteen yuan for one person, seventy-five yuan for five people, plus some materials and saplings or something, it cost less than one or two silver in total.
Ok, within budget.
Liu Xiuxiu nodded.
Recently, the business in the store has gradually stabilized, all the snacks have been sold, and there are no new dishes, Liu Xiuxiu is still thinking about sending the two children to the school, and it will cost a sum of money, it seems that it is time to think of some new dishes to launch.
Liu Xiuxiu thought about it, and finally had an idea, and took Ge Luo and the two of them to the mountains to cut bamboo, and specially picked the kind of big and thick bamboo to cut, although it was more time-consuming and laborious, but after the cut bamboo was sawed open, one by one was as big as a bowl mouth to hold some things!
Now that the weather outside is slowly getting a little hotter, the store should launch some cool snacks, like this kind of fried weather is too hot, and no one has bought those sugar triangles or anything recently, Liu Xiuxiu feels that it is time to remove the sugar triangles from the menu first.
Liu Xiuxiu thought about it for a while, and finally settled on a few dishes, one of which was cold shredded yam, and just cut some bamboo tubes to make fragrant bamboo tube rice, plus mung bean soup and other hot drinks.
Unfortunately, there is no ice cube in the store now, but if there is ice, you can make smoothies and other things, which will definitely sell even more!
Although Liu Xiuxiu is so sorry in her heart, she also knows that it is quite rare to have ice cubes, even the senior sister's family, the senior sister herself is also a person who can make ice, but because the raw materials here are not easy to find, a total of a few pieces can not be made in a summer, which is also more precious, not to mention that there are basically only royal relatives here, and some rich families can use ice cubes!
It would be nice if there was a simple and cheap ice-making method, Liu Xiuxiu thought silently in her heart, but unfortunately she and her senior sister both studied agriculture, and they didn't know anything about this kind of chemical material, even if they knew an ice-making method, it was also the most common one, and the raw materials could not be found here, and the two of them couldn't think of anything that could replace the raw materials.
Although Liu Xiuxiu has already ordered all the new dishes, she also tried to make them, tried them for the people in the family, and changed them according to their suggestions, and the things she made can finally be praised!
It's just that I don't know if the customers outside these things can accept it, and I don't know how the specific sales of these things are, Liu Xiuxiu plans to do some interviews and business in the store first, let the people who come try it, give some opinions, and have a few more flavors, and also plan to make a shelf, when the time comes, you can push these things out to sell, and put them at the door to shout.
Fortunately, Glo's carpentry work is very good, as long as you buy some wood and come back to do it yourself, save it and go outside to find a carpenter to customize, and the wood used is also cut and pulled back from the mountain by two people, except for buying a few nails, the others did not cost anything.
I got all these things done, and the next morning, after the opening. Liu Xiuxiu let Ge Luo and Yang Menglian be busy in the store, and she pulled Chen Zheng and Chen Feng, the two children, to push this small shelf and shout at the door.
"Sister, do you think anyone will really come to buy it?" Chen Zheng couldn't wipe his face and shouted, and said embarrassedly: "Everyone else will set up a small stall without a storefront, shouting and selling things on the street, we already have a store here, why do you come out to shout?" ”
"You don't understand this, you said that you often go to a restaurant, if there is a new dish, do you think about the first try or after a while, ask others if it is delicious and then buy it?" Liu Xiuxiu asked as she packed her things.
Chen Zheng thought about it in his mind, and replied honestly: "I should ask others if it's delicious before buying, after all, although these things are not expensive, but after all, they all cost money to buy, if they are not delicious, wouldn't it be a loss?" ”
"That's right, that's the reason, the store sells a whole portion, and we make it on the small shelf outside I deliberately divide it into small portions, so that everyone can taste the taste, and it won't be too much to eat, and after a few days of shouting outside, the big guys have tasted our new products, and then we remove the shelves and go to the store to sell the whole portion."
Liu Xiuxiu patiently explained to him: "For example, if you look at our whole bamboo rice, the store sells a bowl for eight yuan, but we split the bamboo rice into three parts to sell one for two yuan. ”
