41 Strings of incense
The next day, a family of four drove the mules to the end of Shangbin Street, and the place that belonged to them had long been vacated.
Liu Zigui parked the board car, and the stove was installed on it and not disassembled, so it was convenient to close the stall.
Put two large cauldrons on top, add charcoal and burn like this.
Qin Chuchu asked Liu Zigui to buy some tables, chairs and benches, four square tables and four long benches, and put them on the stall.
Then follow the example of other people's chaos stalls, hang a big sign, and read: string of incense.
The simple stall has become it, and as for the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Erniang has prepared them two days earlier.
She didn't dare to buy too much, only twenty or thirty pairs, for fear that the stall would not be patronized.
From the decision to set up a stall to the first day of implementation, it took a lot of time before and after, and Fang Erniang didn't tie up silk flowers to sell these days.
Not to mention the lack of half a cent of income, and a lot of copper plates were spent, and there was no money in hand for a long time.
She pinched her fingers and counted, and her heart was naturally scattered: "If you don't guard here, I'll go to the east of the city to sell some silk flowers." ”
"It's not started here yet, and my mother is about to retreat?" Qin Chuchu took a fan and fanned the fire.
The cauldron is filled with chicken soup, and the soup base of the whole chicken is very fragrant, and it has not boiled yet, and when the water boils and the pot is opened, you will know.
Liu Zigui hung the stewed chicken made early in the morning on the shelf, which looked no different from other people's chickens, and it was difficult to attract attention with it for the time being.
They all deliberately changed into clean new clothes, after all, it is the catering industry, and they are not neat and look at people.
But even if the stall looks decent, no one cares about it when you first arrive.
However, the adjacent stall greeted them twice, and they will be 'neighbors' in the future, and they will build a good relationship and make money.
At this time, the water in the pot was boiling, and Qin Chuchu lifted the white cloth covering the bamboo basket, which contained all kinds of ingredients they had skewered.
These skewers will be boiled for a while before they can absorb the flavor, and I hope that someone will come and patronize the business during this period.
"What are you selling? It tastes weird! The stall owner next door who sells fans asked with a smile.
"Well, look at this." Liu Zigui patted their signs, and he didn't recognize the three words of string of incense, which didn't mean that others didn't know it.
Qin Chuchu took the fan and lightly fanned it twice, letting the taste drift farther away, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin can come over and taste it when he has time, two bunches of radish and cabbage are only a penny." ”
Lin Dachuan glanced at their cauldron and said, "It doesn't seem to be a big string of ......."
But two strings for a penny is not too expensive, after all, it is cooked food, and it tastes so fragrant.
Qin Chuchu was not given a chance to continue fooling, and soon the first guest smelled it.
"What are you selling? I don't think I've ever seen it. The man probed his head, his face full of curiosity.
Liu Zigui hurriedly greeted him, pointed to the skewers on both sides of the pot and said: "Two strings of vegetarian dishes cost a penny, and a string of meat dishes is a penny, not expensive!" ”
"It's very fragrant, let's try two skewers." The man sat down on the bench.
This time, I tasted more than a dozen strings......
"Hiccup, I seem to have eaten a lot!" He touched his stomach with satisfaction, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Your thing is so delicious, it would be nice if it could be cheaper......"
For a man, the amount of food can be so small, and these skewers are blessed with chicken soup and spice packets, which is even more appetizing.
He actually ate nearly ten cents, and the noodles were enough for two people.
Although I said two sentences, I was still happy and satisfied when I left, and the people took food as the sky, and it was naturally good to calm down the stomach.
With the first patronizing guest, a few more came one after another, just like that person, who unconsciously ate too much and left one by one with their stomachs up.
Fang Erniang's dull face finally looked better, and she smiled under Qin Chuchu's reminder.
Qin Chuchu was in charge of scalding the dishes, Liu Zigui greeted the guests, and Qin Ruoruo was young, but he could also help with the dishes and chopsticks.
The family was busy, and suddenly threw away the worry in their hearts.
On the first day, I didn't want to sell a lot, and I was satisfied that I could open smoothly.
Seeing this, Lin Dachuan, who was selling fans next door, couldn't help laughing and said, "Seeing that you guys are unfamiliar, I didn't expect it to be quite smooth!" I said that it was good to smell it, and the people who walked away were very satisfied. ”
Qin Chuchu replied: "If Uncle Lin wants to try it, I recommend tasting our stewed chicken, make sure you like it~"
The price of her stewed chicken is the same as the market price, and Lin Dachuan was persuaded by her to buy one.
At the end of the day, a lot of skewers were sold, and the stewed chicken was sold out (although only six were available today).
"It's hard at the beginning, and we'll have to stick around for a few days to see the results." Qin Chuchu looked through the basket, there were still some ingredients left.
It's all hot together, and they finish eating and then close the stall.
By the time they had eaten, packed up the tables, chairs and benches, and returned to Yongping Lane, it was going to be dark.
It's a lot of work at the end of the day, but it's great to have customers come up and feel satisfied and fulfilled.
Liu Zigui couldn't wait to take out a small basket and count the money, light an oil lamp in the room, and polish the tabletop.
"The rent of the stall is twenty wen a day, and our accommodation also costs six or seven wen, plus the rest of the food and drink......
Fang Erniang counted with her fingers, "At least sixty or seventy dollars of input must be made before it can be leveled!" ”
After a while, Liu Zigui finished counting, put away the neat strings of stacks, put away the rope and said: "It's almost three hundred Wen, it's okay, it's just ...... compared to selling rice."
"The profit of rice is thin, and you can't do it anymore if you buy and give it away." Qin Chuchu interrupted him and said, "This is just the first time, and it is not known how it will be in the future." ”
There are so many people on Shangbin Street, just let the big guy know that there is such a stall selling food at the end of the street, which will explode their business sooner or later.
What is needed now is time, they have to wait, one step at a time.
Although Liu Zigui verbally talked about selling rice, he was not a fool, and judging from the amount of ten cents that one person could eat today, the future of this stall was promising.
The most important thing in Shangbin Street is pedestrians, if there are more customers, they will be rich!
After selling it for two days, business is getting better, and those who have eaten it will come back to eat again, or introduce relatives and friends; And I haven't tasted it, but I can't help but be curious when I smell the fragrance and see how many people there are.
Within three days, they found that the three tables in the stall were not enough.
"Boss, your stall is also a little smaller, so let's wait!"
"That's it!"
A small line formed in front of the two cauldrons, and everyone probed their brains and complained.
Lin Dachuan smiled and took a fan to fan them, and said, "On this hot day, why don't you buy a fan to cool off?" Food is rare, and it doesn't matter if you wait~"
He was happy, the string of flavors next door was very good, not only did his family love to eat, but the other party's business was so good that even his stall was gone.
Qin Chuchu had already expected this, the seasoning package itself was very fragrant, and with her unique Nolan fragrance, how could she not fascinate these diners.
"Thanks to the love of the big guy, we will find a way, let's wait today, right?" Liu Zigui waved his hand and said comfortably, smiling.
There weren't many seats at the three tables, so they naturally couldn't drive away those who hadn't finished eating, but it was impossible to expand the territory, after all, this was Shangbin Street.
Liu Zigui thought about coaxing the guests, but after the things were sold, he was ordered by Qin Chuchu to give a bunch of new tasks.
"Our stall has begun to take shape, and people who come to play on the street know that it's time to improve it."
"Huh?" Liu Zigui and Fang Erniang looked at each other: "What improvement?" ”
"First of all, there should be more stoves and chopsticks." Qin Chuchu stretched out a finger.
The speed of the skewers into the cauldron is getting faster and faster, and the two pots are not enough, and the ingredients are not enough to absorb the soup, and they are not delicious enough if they are not flavorful.
Don't underestimate this, anything pays attention to quality first, they made this string of incense, there will be imitators in the future, only in the taste of absolute suppression, in order not to worry about being robbed of the flow of customers.
"The second is that we have to make a few new sets of clean clothes for each person, and remember to be clean." Qin Chuchu looked at their clothes, including herself, the coarse cloth clothes were nothing, the point was that they were too old.
Rice comes from the mouth, cooking can not always be unkempt, they used to be poor, only a set of new clothes a year, usually reluctant to wear, but now is different from the past.
Liu Zigui frowned: "We agree to buy stoves, dishes and chopsticks, what is the reason for clothes?" ”
Qin Chuchu glanced at him and didn't bother to explain, raised a third finger and said, "Third: you go back to the village and hand over the work of cutting bamboo to others." ”
"What?!" Liu Zigui was shocked.
Fang Erniang asked: "If we cut bamboo to get bamboo sticks, wouldn't we have to give money to others?" ”
"I can't get busy directly, in addition to bamboo sticks, I also need a small bamboo tube, so that I can pack skewers for those people to take away." Qin Chuchu roughly compared the height of the bamboo tube needed, don't let the food fall out.
Many people will choose to pack Malatang, which is more convenient and faster, and can also solve the disadvantage of their lack of location.
In ancient times, there were no packaging utensils, and the string of incense was a food with a little soup, and the oil paper package was categorically not good, only a small bamboo tube was suitable.
Of course, this bamboo tube needs to be costed, and it also needs to be transported and so on, and if you charge an extra penny for each, they will not lose money.
If you come to hold it in your own container, it will be more convenient, and you will pack it away without collecting a penny.
Qin Chuchu explained it to the two, and they understood, but they still had questions.
"It's good now, won't you anger everyone by making a bamboo tube?"
Liu Zigui said: "If you also pay for food, those people will be able to have seats, but some will have to spend an extra penny to buy bamboo tubes." ”
"It's not mandatory, it's just a matter of personal choice," Qin Chuchu was not afraid that her fresh approach would be resisted, and said: "There is a first come and a first come in everything, if you want to sit and eat, then wait for the person in front to leave." ”
Don't think that this will make many people retreat, the sought after thing is the most worth waiting for, many people have this subtle psychology.
