Chapter Thirty-Eight: Prosperous but Shixiang Street
Jiang Jiang looked at him and just smiled, fortunately, he prepared dry firewood the night before, so he made a fire to cook, and after a while, the fragrance wafted from the pot, and Sun Xiaobei couldn't care about cursing the fate of heaven and earth.
Because the weather was humid and cold, Jiang Jiang made a pot of hot noodle soup.
Sun Xiaobei asked Jiang Jiang while eating: "Sister, why don't you worry?" ”
"Why bother?" Jiang Jiang asked him rhetorically.
"We can't even go out and sell sorbet in such a weather!" Sun Xiaobei said.
"You know we can't go out and buy sorbet, so why bother with our good mood? It's already a fact that you can't sell sorbet, and your constant frustration and complaining will only make your mood worse. Jiang Jiang smiled and said, "Relax, just wait for the weather to clear." ”
However, Sun Xiaobei couldn't let go after all, and Jiang Jiang didn't blame him.
Jiang Jiang has done a lot of part-time jobs in his previous life, and many times it is not smooth, and there will always be troubles of one kind or another. It's the same when you do business, sometimes you end up just busy in vain, and sometimes you even lose money, so without a good attitude, it's impossible to survive those difficulties.
Fortunately, this afternoon, the rain finally stopped, and the sunset appeared.
Ling Tiancheng is worthy of being the imperial capital of Great Qin, the drainage system is very in place, even if it rains heavily for a day and a night, as long as the rain stops, there will be no water on the road.
Early the next morning, after the two of them had breakfast, Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei came to the ice cellar again.
Boss Yang and them are now partners, and he doesn't stop them when he sees them coming, he just sits or lies on the recliner every day. A few of the guys were also sitting or chatting on the sidelines, and only when someone came to buy ice did they go to the freezer.
Jiang Jiang and their things, these people also took a look at them because they were curious, but they didn't know why.
When he arrived in the ice cellar, Jiang Jiang began to direct Sun Xiaobei to work.
"You go and bring that wooden box," Jiang Jiang instructed Sun Xiaobei, "and the handkerchief we brought here." ”
Sun Xiaobei brought a wooden box with a big belly and a small mouth from the corner of the wall, and he was still very puzzled when Jiang Jiang was ordered in the carpenter shop before.
"This box only has such a small opening, how inconvenient it is to use!" Sun Xiaobei said.
"When you put something inside, lift the lid all over," Jiang Jiang told Sun Xiaobei: "When you take things out, you have to pass through this small opening." ”
"Why is that?" Sun Xiaobei still didn't understand.
"How slow do you think it is to fill it with small bites? But when you take the sorbet outside, if you repeatedly open the box and the heat goes in, won't the sorbet inside melt? ”
"Oh, yes, yes, I see." Sun Xiaobei nodded again and again, he now threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that Jiang Jiang had admired.
Jiang Jiang and Sun Xiaobei packed two boxes of sorbet, wrapped the lid on the small mouth of the box with a hand towel, and stuffed it tightly.
The outside of the box is wrapped in a thick quilt to isolate the outside temperature and ensure that the sorbet inside does not melt.
The two men carried boxes of sorbet onto a trolley and pushed the cart towards the city.
"Where are we going to sell this good thing?" Sun Xiaobei asked Jiang Jiang.
"Go to Shixiang Street," Jiang Jiang replied, "There are mostly restaurants, restaurants, and song halls and bookstores, haven't we seen a lot of snacks there before?" ”
"That's natural, Shixiang Street is the most prosperous street in Ling Tian City, although it is not the main street, there are many shops, people come and go, and the flow account at the end of the day is only afraid of tens of millions of taels of silver." Sun Xiaobei said: "Our things are pushed there, and they will be very popular." ”
"Now you know why I hired a chariot and horse to come to the capital, right? Are you still complaining about me wasting money? Jiang Jiang asked Sun Xiaobei with a smile.
"I know, I know, you are to grab this month's summer, if it is autumn and the weather becomes cooler, no matter how delicious this thing is, there will be fewer people to buy it." Sun Xiaobei said: "Sister, don't worry, when you get to the street in a while, I promise to shout vigorously." ”
"What are you yelling at?" Jiang Jiang asked him strangely.
"Needless to ask, can't you sell things? Who knows what you're selling? Sun Xiaobei said.
"We really don't need to shout for this business," Jiang Jiang said, "If we are like ordinary hawkers who go along the streets and alleys to sell for retail, we can do it in the eastern suburbs market, why bother to walk a few miles to the city center?" ”
"So what are you going to do?" Sun Xiaobei began to be confused again, and many times, he couldn't keep up with Jiang Jiang's train of thought at all. This is not to blame him, anyone's thinking must be influenced by the era in which they live, and it is impossible to surpass this era too much.
But Jiang Jiang is different, she belongs to the past from the modern era, and she has heard and witnessed a modern lifestyle and business model since she was a child, so the starting point of her ideas is much higher than that of Sun Xiaobei.
"Have you counted how many shops there are in these Ten Fragrance Street?" Jiang Jiang asked Sun Xiaobei.
They had deliberately walked through this street before when they were performing arts, and walked back and forth twice from the street to the end of the street.
Just because this is the most prosperous street in Ling Tiancheng, Jiang Jiang pays special attention to it.
"This street is densely packed with shops on both sides, who is patient to count how many? I guess there are hundreds! Sun Xiaobei snorted and said.
"There are a total of 458 shops on this street, and 382 are Song Pavilion, Bookstore, and Restaurant." Jiang Jiang said that this had been counted in detail when she wandered the street.
"Wow, there are so many of them!" Sun Xiaobei was shocked when he heard this: "I can count to a hundred at most, and I can't count it if I can't count more." ”
"Then you can practice counting more often, and you will use it more in the future, not to mention anything else, you must always be able to count money." Jiang Jiang smiled mischievously at him.
"Sister, but I still don't understand, we made this sorbet, and we didn't sell it on the street, so how can we make money?" Sun Xiaobei couldn't help but ask Jiang Jiang.
"Of course I want to make money, and I want to make it as easy and fast as possible." Jiang Jiang said to Sun Xiaobei: "So we can't be like ordinary hawkers, standing on the street shouting at the top of their voices, or walking the streets and alleys to sell retail." ”
"So what to do?" Sun Xiaobei felt that his head was too big.
"Xiao Cheap, when you are incomprehensible about something, the first thing to do is not to ask, but to observe carefully on the side," Jiang Jiang patiently taught Sun Xiaobei: "Think more carefully, no matter how right what others say, it is not as true as your own experience." ”
"But if I don't ask, I'll panic." Sun Xiaobei said helplessly: "I don't think I'm stupid, but why don't I understand what you're going to do when I'm with you?" ”
"It's okay, you'll understand it over time." Jiang Jiang said that after all, Sun Xiaobei is still a child, and his growth still has a long way to go.
