The two of them came to Shixiang Street, Jiang Jiang started from the right hand, the first one was the Tiankui Lou Bookstore, and the two cousins stood at the door to welcome the guests.

A metropolis like Ling Tiancheng was different from ordinary small cities. Entertainment venues are frequented all day long in the morning and evening, and some places are even more prosperous at night than during the day.

Therefore, the book field is also divided into morning, midfield and evening game.

Most of the people who come to the morning to listen to books are older, because the elderly have less sleep, wake up early, and have nothing to do, so they come to the bookstore to listen to the books after breakfast.

According to the rules in Ling Tian City, private vendors are allowed to come in and sell things in places like the Shuchang Song Tower, and the hawkers either carry baskets or baskets with small snacks in them, and peddle among the customers, which is called string selling.

The shop does not charge any fees from the vendors, just to facilitate the diverse needs of customers.

Therefore, there are many elderly people and half-grown children in Ling Tiancheng who make a living by selling them.

Jiang Jiang and the others arrived at the bookstore and greeted the shopkeeper of the bookstore. When the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were only half-grown children and pushing the cart, he asked, "What is in this box?" But are you going to come in and sell it? ”

Jiang Jiang shook his head and said to the shopkeeper: "We want you to see if the things in our box are good, if they are good, let's talk about it." ”

The shopkeeper of the bookstore also felt a little interesting when he heard her say this, but he didn't expect such a young child to talk to him about business.

Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei opened the quilt outside, lifted the small lid above the box, and took out a yellow peach-flavored sorbet from inside.

The sorbet shines brighter and brighter in the sunlight.

"Yo! It's really the first time I've seen this thing," the bookstore shopkeeper looked at the sorbet in Jiang Jiang's hand and said, "This is what you made?" ”

"We made it," Jiang Jiang said, handing the sorbet in his hand to the bookstore shopkeeper, "Do you taste it?" ”

At this time, although the weather is not yet noon, the heat is still steaming, making people sweat.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore took the sorbet, first tasted a little, only to feel sweet and cool, and extremely comfortable.

Jiang Jiang looked at the expression of the shopkeeper in the bookstore, and knew that it was very suitable for his taste, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Shopkeeper, do you think the most important thing for people in this bookstore is to be calm, if the mind is not quiet, no matter what book is being said, where can I listen to it?" Besides, in the hot weather now, even the newly drawn well water is sent here, which is not cool enough to quench your thirst, so it is better for me to eat a piece of ice cream and keep it from the inside out. ”

"You kid has a sweet mouth, and this thing is really fresh enough." The shopkeeper said, "But I don't know what the price is." ”

"We have few people and little strength, and it is impossible to carry a large box to sell everywhere, so I want to put a box here for you to sell every day. There are 100 pieces of sorbet in this box, and as long as the lid is tightly covered and covered with a quilt, it will not melt for most of the day. The external price, I suggest that it is five cents a piece, of course, you can also flexibly set it according to your own situation, but I only need three hundred cents for the wholesale of this hundred. ”

After hearing this, the bookstore keeper was silent.

Jiang Jiang knew that he was making a decision, so he pouted on the side: "You don't have to hesitate about anything, this thing is not worth much money in the first place, and three hundred wen is not enough for half a day's tea money in your teahouse." Second, someone has to buy it, as long as you let them know that you're selling it. Third, it doesn't take much to come here, the box is placed here, and whoever buys it for whomever takes it, and there is no need to even shout. ”

The bookstore shopkeeper laughed when Jiang Jiang said: "You little ghost, you are really a little ghost!" In that case, I'll leave a box to try, and if it's good, I'll have more than just this one for the day. ”

"That's, that's, you're overcrowded every day, and your business is thriving, so we're the first to come to your house."

Sun Xiaobei said on the side.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore only smiled when he heard this, knowing that he was flattering, and his family was the first on the street, so he should come here first in order.

Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei helped the guys in the bookstore to move the box of sorbet upstairs, and the shopkeeper gave Jiang Jiang 300 yuan.

When he was about to go out, Jiang Jiang said to the shopkeeper again: "Please keep this box for me, we will come here every afternoon to get the empty box." If you need a new sorbet by then, just bring you a new one and withdraw the empty box. ”

The shopkeeper said, "Don't worry, I know that this is your guy who eats, and he won't spoil it for you." ”

Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei left the bookstore and walked to the next house.

"Sister, why don't we sell it in retail? If you sell it in strings, you can only get five cents each, which is more than this. Sun Xiaobei was a little unhappy, he felt that the strength on his body was worthless, if he could spend some effort to make more money, he would be happy to do so.

"Of course, the profit of retail is the largest, but what we have to look at is the total amount, have you ever calculated that if you and I are only retail, the most I can do is sell four boxes of sorbet a day, deducting the cost, one sorbet earns four cents, one box earns four hundred, four boxes of sorbet can earn 1,600 wen, one two or six dollars of silver. But if you do this wholesale, a box of sorbet can earn 200 Wen, and hundreds of shops on Shixiang Street, even if you can wholesale 100 boxes a day, that is the income of 20 taels, which is dozens of times that of retail sales. ”

"Can you really make that much?" Sun Xiaobei felt as if he had heard a tale of the Arabian Nights, so incredible.

"What's impossible?" Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "This is already a conservative estimate for me. ”

"But I always feel like you're talking in a dream, earning twenty taels a day, and six hundred taels a month!" Sun Xiaobei only felt that the blood was gushing up his head, and his whole body was numb, more than six hundred taels of silver, he couldn't think of so much money.

The two of them were talking, but they didn't stop at their feet, and soon came to the second song building, named Feng Xiaoguan.

The song house in Ling Tiancheng is different from the brothel, it is a place for the children of the rich families of literati to spend their time, and they do not do the business of leather and meat, but there are exceptions, if there is a guest who has a crush on a singer, it is also a matter of no way.

But the premise is that the person's foundation is deep enough and the background is strong enough, otherwise it is very likely to be sued.

There are two very thick willow trees in front of the Fengxiao Pavilion, which can be used to tie horses and to break branches with singers when guests leave.

The head of the Feng Xiao Pavilion was named Zhuo Qiu Niang, and she was a very famous businesswoman in Ling Tian City.

Jiang Jiang and the others came to sell the sorbet, so naturally they couldn't see Zhuo Qiuniang, they could only see Aunt Mei, who was usually in charge.

Although Jiang Jiang is dressed normally, his handsome facial features can't be hidden.

Aunt Mei was in a good mood when she saw her cute little appearance, coupled with her sweet mouth and flattery without showing any traces, she rushed Aunt Mei to call her sister, which made Aunt Mei's heart bloom.
