Chapter 326: Opening
"Auntie, sister-in-law, these snacks are also very simple to make, as long as you learn by heart, you will learn it quickly." Mu Xiu knows that everything is difficult at the beginning, the two of them have not made money for a long time, and they will not have confidence in their own abilities.
"We'll fill up all the snacks tonight and open tomorrow." Mu Xiu said.
"Ah, it's going to open tomorrow, are you staying here tonight?" Zhou Dujuan was a little timid.
"Don't worry, let's live in the county seat, help for a week, and when we keep it away, you and your brother-in-law are already very proficient." Mu Xiu's face was filled with a confident smile.
Zhou Dujuan and Song Shunli were also infected by Mu Xiu's smile, and the road ahead may not be as difficult as imagined.
The three of them were in front, and after placing the snacks, Mu Xiu took the cardboard and marked the name and price of the snacks, and Song Shunli put the label in front of the corresponding grid and fixed it with glue.
"Snacks like this kind of meat, with a uniform price of one pound and one dollar, can be assembled so that everyone can taste all kinds of tastes."
Mu Xiu pointed to the snack compartment in the first row, which was full of meat.
"Like popcorn, potato chips, millet pots, rice flowers, spiced soybeans, etc., it's just five cents a pound."
Mu Xiu pointed to the snack grid in the second row, all of which were filled with this kind of snacks.
"There is also egg steamed cake, a dime a piece, cut evenly, put it on a plate, tonight I will make some braised eggs, dried tofu, small sausages, all a dime a piece, put it here." Mu Xiu pointed to another row of shelves and said.
Under Mu Xiu's arrangement, the rows of snack grids made were full.
"This is the scale I bought in the provincial capital." Mu Xiu pointed to a bag on the ground, and Song Shunli quickly squatted down and moved the scale to the counter.
"The weight of this iron plate is 3 taels." Mu Xiu pointed to the plate on the small scale, and then said, "Every time you weigh snacks, don't forget to subtract these three taels." ”
Song Shunli and Zhou Dujuan stepped forward, followed and learned for a while, and they would use this scale to weigh things.
"Oh no, Mom and Dad are coming home from work." Zhou Dujuan glanced at the sky, it was already dark, and she quickly exclaimed.
"I'll go to the backyard and pick up the baby first." Song Shunli walked briskly to the backyard.
"Mu Xiu, I'm not afraid of your jokes, we can't come out until my in-laws go to work." Zhou Dujuan sighed lightly.
"Then you opened a shop with your uncle, didn't you tell them?" Mu Xiu asked in surprise.
"I didn't say it, they went to work, we came over, I took the two children back in the evening, and I was alone in the store when I went back, and he went back later, so he said that he would just play outside, and when we made money, we would tell them, and then move out." Zhou Dujuan said bitterly.
"Auntie, don't worry, you will definitely be able to make money, when the time comes, you won't have to rely on others to live, no matter who gives it, it's better to have it yourself." Mu Xiu is very much in favor of Zhou Dujuan's self-reliance.
"Yes." Zhou Dujuan nodded heavily.
"Then let's go first, and we'll come over early tomorrow morning." Song Shunli had a child wrapped around his back and a child in his hand, Zhou Dujuan followed behind, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he left in a hurry.
"My aunt, my sister-in-law has two children, how can I be busy." Mu Xiaoshu was a little worried.
"Let's see how the business is first, if the business is good, it is okay to spend money to find a nanny to take care of the children." Mu Xiu said.
The things in the snack shop have basically been packed up, Mu Shui and Chen Xuhui closed the door of the store, and the group returned to their homes in the county seat.
Mu Xiaoshu looked at the children, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu cooked on the fire, Chen Xuhui fed the cows to eat grass and drink water, and walked around the wooden water house, thinking about what was missing, and bring it over next time.
"This honeycomb coal stove is really easy to use, the smoke is not big, and the size of the fire can be adjusted." Zhou Shuilian looked around the stove and looked at it, full of joy.
Mu Xiu's kitchen was built next to a large coal stove next to the wall, and next to it was a small coal stove that could be picked up, just to cook rice and stir-fry without delay.
"It's okay if there are people in the house every day, otherwise the stove goes out, and it will take a little trouble to cause it." Mu Xiu used firewood to ignite the honeycomb coal in a basin just now.
"That's less trouble than burning firewood." Zhou Shuilian looked at the stove and said.
In the evening, I boiled rice porridge, fried garlic seedlings and fried bacon, fried salted fish with red peppers, and steamed pork with eggs.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Mu Xiu and the others got up, cooked a meal, and after eating and cleaning up, they went to the snack shop together, after opening the door, they simply cleaned it, lit the fire in the backyard kitchen, boiled hot water, and Zhou Shuilian also carefully brought two thermos flasks over.
Mu Xiu did the final inspection work before the opening in front.
"Xiu, I just remembered now, I should find someone to look at the day and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac." Zhou Shuilian walked over from behind and said.
"Mother, what age are you, do you still believe in this?" The black line on Mu Xiu's face.
"Actually, my mother is right, I used to have villagers in the village to open shops, and they were all looking for someone to calculate, saying that if you choose a good time, you can prosper in business." Mu Xiaoshu also leaned over and said.
"Okay, let's not make it so complicated, I promise that you don't have to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the business of our store is just as prosperous, mother, you just wait for the money to be counted."
Speaking kung fu, Zhou Dujuan and Song Shunli also came over with their two children.
Zhou Shuilian stepped forward, took the child, looked at Zhou Dujuan, whose face was red from cold, and said distressedly: "Have you eaten?" Hurry into the back room, there is a stove burning inside, warm up. ”
Because yesterday afternoon, the four children were in the back room, and their hands were cold, and when they first came today, the first thing Zhou Shuilian did was to burn two stoves, so that the children could warm up in the house.
"We've eaten, let's put the kids in the back room first." Zhou Dujuan and Song Shunli took the child and followed Zhou Shuilian to the backyard first.
Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui were watching the children in the backyard house, Zhou Dujuan and Song Shunli were in charge of weighing snacks and collecting money in the store, Mu Xiu took Mu Xiaoshu and Chen Xuhui to hold the plate, and each of them put a small piece of tasting in it, inserted it with a toothpick, and the three of them were responsible for standing outside and shouting today.
At half past eight, Song Shunli lit two strings of firecrackers in front of the door.
The sound of "crackling" immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding passers-by, and even people from a few streets came here to see the excitement.
Approaching the Chinese New Year, there are not a few people who come to the county town from various towns and villages to buy New Year's goods, all of them come early in the morning by shuttle bus or ox cart, this is the time when the number of people gradually increases, plus the location of this snack shop is good, and soon the door is full of people.
