Chapter 006: I'm a genius in business
Xia Xiaoqin's technique of making tofu is becoming more and more proficient, from the first ten boards to the current twenty boards, but it is only three days' work.
However, the morning market in the vegetable market can't eat more than 20 plates of tofu, and when the morning market is over, Xia Xiaoqin's tricycle still has 10 plates of tofu.
Xia Xiaoqin saw Xia Xiuxue's sad face, and comforted her brother: "Don't worry, I've already thought of a market." ”
"What's the market?"
"You drink the spicy soup first, and we'll go after eating."
Xia Xiuxue set off with doubts and Xia Xiaoqin.
He saw Xia Xiaoqin park her tricycle in front of a small restaurant, and he had a guess in his heart.
Xia Xiuxue shook his head and said, "My dad also thought about selling it to restaurants, but people didn't accept it." ”
"Don't accept it?" Xia Xiaoqin didn't expect that Xia Lao Er also thought about finding a stable source of customers, and asked, "Why doesn't the restaurant accept it?" ”
"Now there are few people in the restaurant, and when you enter the restaurant, you always want to eat meat, and there are too few people who order tofu. I can't sell a plate of tofu in a day. ”
"I'll try it first!"
Everyone arrived at the door, and Xia Xiaoqin didn't want to retreat before she went in.
The proprietress of Xiangmanyuan is called Zheng Lan, less than forty years old, her facial features are very exquisite, and her temperament is different from that of other businessmen.
Zheng Lan glanced at the tricycle parked at the door, and first saw Xia Xiuxue sitting on the tricycle.
Xia Xiaoqin saw the scrutiny in Zheng Lan's eyes, and hurriedly explained for Xia Xiuxue: "He is my brother, he ...... My legs and feet are inconvenient, but I don't worry about me coming out alone to sell tofu, no matter how cold it is, you have to come with me. ”
Zheng Lan originally thought that Xia Xiuxue was thin-skinned, but she didn't expect that there would be such a relationship.
The little girl's brother looked like he didn't work, like a student, and then looked at the little girl in front of him, the clothes on her body were not very old, and her face was clean and beautiful, especially the round apricot eyes, the eyes were pure and smart.
ushered in the send-off all day long, Zheng Lan, who had some experience, suddenly made up for the situation at Xia Xiaoqin's family, and her attitude towards Xia Xiaoqin became kinder.
"Some time ago, someone also sent such tofu, but my small restaurant business is average, and I can only ask for half a board a day at most, and the boss didn't do this business with me because he was troublesome to run back and forth."
In the entire county, only Xia Lao Er made tofu with stone oak powder, and Xia Xiaoqin knew that the person Zheng Lan was talking about was Xia Lao Er.
Xia Xiaoqin pointed to the tricycle outside and asked, "Boss, do you look familiar with the car outside?" To tell you the truth, the person you are talking about is my father, but he ...... I was in a car accident and left, and my brother's leg was also hit by a car. I am telling you this, not to sell you miserably, but to let you know that my family is very short of money now, and I really need the business of the boss's half of the tofu. ”
Zheng Lan's eyelids jumped, she didn't expect the inside story to be like this.
Looking at Xia Xiaoqin and Xia Xiuxue's appearance again, one looks like a delicate girl raised at home, her hands are as tender as shallots, and she doesn't have half a cocoon. One is very bookish and angry, and he is a student in front of him.
Zheng Lan didn't care about it in her heart, it was fake. She thought of her daughter, if it weren't for the catastrophe, her husband hadn't died, and her daughter would have grown up smoothly, probably at Xia Xiaoqin's age......
"Your tofu is quite related to my small restaurant, I see that you have a lot left today, so let's leave one board, and start half a board from tomorrow."
"Thank you boss, the boss is so kind, she will definitely make a fortune in the future!"
"You little girl, your little mouth is so sweet." Zheng Lan took out her gloves from the counter, handed them to Xia Xiaoqin and said, "It's so cold, don't freeze your hands with chilblains." ”
Xia Xiaoqin was warmed by these gloves, she thanked her repeatedly, and made an appointment with Zheng Lan for tomorrow's delivery.
Xia Xiuxue didn't expect Xia Xiaoqin to really sell tofu to a restaurant, and his inferiority complex covered his eyes.
"Brother, I think doing business is much more interesting than the exam paper, do you think I'm a genius in business? Haha, I'm amazing! ”
Xia Xiuxue was amused by Xia Xiaoqin's words, and the inferiority complex in his eyes was hidden in his heart.
Xia Xiaoqin tried a few more and settled on a total of five plates of tofu.
Xia Xiaoqin, who had the remaining five plates of tofu, went to the vegetable market in the west of the city, sold three boards before lunch, and gave two plates of tofu sold by her peers at a reduced price, so that the family could keep them for sale before dinner, and finally solved the twenty plates of tofu.
Xia Xiaoqin felt more and more that she couldn't make a fortune just selling golden tofu, so she bought some new materials and molds, and after returning home, she once again went into the tofu room.
The progress of the new tofu was very slow, and for several days, Xia Xiaoqin dragged her tired body out of the tofu room.
Seeing that the New Year is getting closer and closer, the whole family is very anxious, but Xia Xiaoqin's fatigue is in everyone's eyes, this night, Mrs. Xia stood at the door of the tofu room with the crucian carp soup that Shen Shu used for milk, and insisted that Xia Xiaoqin also drink a bowl.
Xia Xiaoqin opened the door of the tofu room and suddenly found that it was snowing, and the yard was white.
"It's snowing, I'm afraid it's going to freeze, don't get up so early tonight." Mrs. Xia told Xia Xiaoqin.
Frozen?
Xia Xiaoqin had a flash of inspiration and had a new idea.
Xia Xiaoqin wants to grind tofu tonight!
After Xia Xiuxue heard about it, he ordered Xia Xiaoqin to help him to the tofu room.
Soak the beans, clean up the stone grind, plus research new varieties of tofu, and by the time the soybeans are soaked, it is already eleven o'clock at night.
Xia Xiaoqin made jade tofu for the first time, but when she lit the plaster, her hand was as steady as if she had done it hundreds of times, Xia Xiuxue looked at Xia Xiaoqin, who was seriously plastering, and couldn't help but caress her legs again.
After Xia Xiaoqin finished ordering the plaster, she saw Xia Xiuxue, who had lost his mind.
Shen Shu said that Xia Xiuxue is a genius, and he is either the first or second in the school exam, and according to his grades, he will definitely be able to be admitted to university during the college entrance examination.
Xia Xiaoqin is trying so hard to make money, first, she wants to make money to pay off her debts quickly, and she also wants to make money to treat Xia Xiuxue's leg, she specially asked the doctor in the county, Xia Xiuxue's leg is not without the rule of law, but must go to the capital to treat it.
The capital is the capital, and far from it, the amount of money spent on treatment must not be small.
In the hearts of the people of Xiajia Village, going to the capital to govern is the same as not being able to govern, and they can't afford it!
Xia Xiaoqin is now extremely glad that she has done a lot of experimental research in her previous life, and she is progressing smoothly in the research of new tofu, if there is no accident, she should see the new tofu tomorrow! Whether the Xia family can have a good year depends on whether this new tofu can be made!
"Brother, I still have to study new tofu, do you want to go and rest first?"
"I'm here with you and help you make the pot." Xia Xiuxue wanted to see the jade tofu made by Xia Xiaoqin, but found that there was no tofu in the tofu room, so he asked, "Where is the jade tofu?" ”
"I've put the door in the aisle."
"Isn't that going to freeze? It's snowing outside. ”
Xia Xiaoqin smiled mysteriously: "Just let it freeze!" ”
Xia Xiuxue knew that Xia Xiaoqin was very good at doing business, and he asked, "Is it still the Chiba tofu that I haven't studied and understood?" What can I do for you? ”
"Brother help me sort out my thoughts and see which step is wrong."
Xia Xiuxue studied well not only because he studied hard, but also because he had a quick mind and could solve problems from all aspects.
With the help of Xia Xiuxue, Xia Xiaoqin found her wrong steps, worked until four o'clock in the morning, and finally made the first plate of Chiba tofu.
Xia Xiaoqin was tired, so she didn't care about publicizing her excitement, and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, Mrs. Xia, who got up to cook, saw the frozen tofu first, and she shouted in a loud voice: "What kind of sin is this!" If the tofu is placed here, it's all a disaster! ”
Xia Xiaoqin jumped off the bed with a spirit, and she shouted outside: "Milk! Don't move! This is my new product! ”
