Chapter 16: Business Declines
The Zhou family sisters and brothers stood against the sun for a while, and Gu Qingzhou brought a large parasol, and the shadow cast covered the four sisters and brothers and the small stall.
Suddenly it was overcast.
Zhou Mi immediately thanked: "Thank you, Brother Gu!" ”
"Let's go on patrol first, what do you eat at noon?"
"We've had lunch." Zhou Mi smiled, "And I brought porridge!" ”
Gu Qingzhou nodded and got on the motorcycle: "That's okay, if there is anything, go to the security team to find me." ”
Zhou Mi should go down.
The uncle who sold the rice pushed the stall over to her and sighed, "Little girl, can I set up a stall next to you?" ”
Zhou Mi nodded: "Okay, okay, uncle, you are almost here to hide, the sun is too big." ”
The Pearl River Delta in July is stuffy and hot, there is no wind at all, but this is not the hottest time, three or four o'clock in the afternoon is the time when the sun is the fiercest, and the temperature is so high that the concrete floor will smoke.
Soon it was time to get off work, and the workers came out one after another, and when they saw Zhou Mi, they all ran over to line up, and the sisters and brothers of the Zhou family were busy.
After a while, I heard someone shouting outside: "Hey, there are three people selling herbal tea under the banyan tree over there, you don't have to queue up over there!" ”
There are half fewer people in front of Zhou Mi's stall.
In the morning, these two pots of herbal tea were sold out until more than a little bit, after Zhou Zhiguang knew the situation, he asked her to cook one less pot in the afternoon, Zhou Mi didn't agree, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's okay, it's a big deal to throw it out if it can't be sold, and it doesn't cost anything, but what if it can be sold?" ”
Zhou Zhiguang was stupid, and he couldn't talk about Zhou Mi, so he went to call Li Ying.
Li Ying also persuaded Zhou Mi to cook a pot first, but Zhou Mi still said: "What if it can be sold?" Mom, don't worry, you and Dad, we can sell it. ”
Pouring the small half bucket that was not sold out in the morning into the fish pond next to it, Zhou Mi continued to make herbal tea, took a nap for an hour in the middle, and when it came at half past four, she immediately asked her father to take her out of the stall.
Zhou Zhiguang took down the big parasol, and Uncle Li, who was selling rice, ran over to help and brought the latest news to Zhou Mi: "There are two more stalls, little girl, you may not be able to sell these two buckets." ”
"It's okay, I'll be able to sell it if I sell it for a while."
Zhou Zhiguang was even more hesitant this time, not worried that his herbal tea would not sell, but worried that although the herbal tea stall owner would bully his daughter, when he passed by the security team and saw Gu Qingzhou, he was relieved again, and the captain of the security team said that he would take care of Zhou Mi.
At half past five, people got off work one after another, different from noon, these people all consciously lined up in front of Zhou Mi's stall, Zhou Mi looked at it, and they were all familiar faces.
"Little girl, the effect of your herbal tea here is a little better, they are either too bitter or too light, and it is not comfortable to drink."
Zhou Mi smiled slightly: "The prescription is the same prescription, but the proportion is very important, if the proportion is wrong, the effect will definitely be discounted." ”
Zhou Mi made herbal tea for everyone, and explained: "As the saying goes, medicine is poisonous, don't think that my herbal tea is delicious, just drink it as boiling water every day, it depends on whether you need it or not, otherwise you will have diarrhea if you drink too much." ”
"But if you want to quench your thirst, it's okay, you bring your own cup, buy a small bowl, go back and mix some cold white and drink it again, so that you won't have diarrhea."
An uncle gave her a thumbs up: "Little girl, you have a very good conscience, and you know how to persuade us to drink less, and others are eager to buy his herbal tea three times a day!" ”
Zhou Mi said seriously: "I'm also thinking about the long run, in case any of you drink my herbal tea and have diarrhea, then my business will definitely be cold." ”
The uncle laughed: "Okay, okay, listen to you!" ”
At this time, someone shouted over there: "A small bowl of herbal tea costs three cents a bowl, and a large bowl is five cents a bowl!" ”
