Chapter 5 The beginning of a small business

Qi Ning looked around the shelves aimlessly, and the guy had already arrived outside the store with a cart.

"This girl, it's ready, you lead the way." The old man reminded Qi Ning, who was turning blindly.

"Okay, come with me." Qi Ning nodded and said to the guy.

When he got home, the guy helped Qi Ning put ten large frames in the yard: "The girl will check if there is any damage, if it is broken, we will replace it." ”

Qi Ning opened the bamboo basket, took out a few from the straw and looked at them in good condition: "That's it, even if it's broken, there shouldn't be a few, when the time comes, I'll take the broken ones and go to you to change their careers?" ”

"Well, okay. The girl is not that kind of person, so you are busy and I will go. The man hesitated and walked out. It really takes time to check the three hundred one by one, although he doesn't want that kind of person when he looks at Qi Ning, he is still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Little brother go slowly." Qi Ning watched the back pushed out of the alley by the guy, turned around and plugged in the door and began to brush the porcelain jar.

The painted porcelain jar is neatly placed on the table to control the water. I went to the grocery store and bought a few bamboo asaks, stewed a pot of bone broth in the evening, and drank it beautifully. Take out the soaked shiitake mushrooms, wash them, and dry them on the bamboo shallow seeds.

Early the next morning, Qi Ning didn't eat any food, so he went to knock on the door of Wang Zhutou. After knocking for a long time, Wang Qingyuan came sleepily and opened the door.

"What's the matter?" Wang Qingyuan's voice smelled of a hangover.

"Brother Wang, I'm really sorry to disturb your sleep."

"It's okay, just say it."

"I want to set up a stall and don't know where to put it? Do you want to go to the yamen to go through the procedures? ”

"Stalls? Pendulum every day? ”

"Well, every day."

"There is a shop on the north side of the grocery store, and on the north side of the shop is the outer wall of my room, so you can put it there. There is no need to go through the formalities, someone comes to collect taxes at the beginning of each month, and the stall pays 100 wen tax money a month. ”

"Thank you, then I use your faΓ§ade, do I still need to give you money?"

"No, there's an idle bar in my yard, if you need it, take it." Wang Qingyuan frowned, flashed open the door, and motioned for Qi Ning to come in and take a look.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Qi Ning happily followed into the courtyard, and a piece of paper about one and a half meters long, half a meter wide, and one meter high was thrown there by the wall.

"Exactly, how much money did I buy." Qi Ning looked at Wang Qingyuan diligently.

"You take it, I was going to burn the fire."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Wang, you are so good. Qi Ning said that he tried hard to move the case, but he tried several times to move the case.

"You go first, I'll move you to the street in a while, this is too heavy, no one steals it, you don't have to collect it at night." Wang Qingyuan looked at the slender figure and said patiently.

"You're embarrassed for the repeated trouble, I'll cook a few dishes in the evening and invite Brother Wang over for dinner."

"No, I have something to do at night."

"Uh, tomorrow night?"

"No, you can go." Wang Qingyuan bowed his head impatiently and entered the room.

"Oh." Qi Ning went home dejectedly, fetched a basin of water and came to the street with a rag, the case had been neatly arranged, and there was more than half a meter behind the wall behind the case. Qi Ning carefully wiped the dust and oil stains on the case, splashed water and went home to make breakfast.

When the shops on the street were opened, Qi Ning went to the oil mill to buy ten catties of peanut oil, came back and cut the shiitake mushrooms and pork into diced meat, chopped the chili peppers, poured oil into the pot and heated it, put on the peppercorns, chili peppers, minced garlic and ginger and stir-fried until fragrant, then poured the diced pork into it and fried until it changed color, put diced mushrooms, add a lot of bean paste, to some soy sauce and water, boiled slowly over low heat for about fifteen minutes. Then put it in a wooden barrel to dry, and then make a pot without peppers. I went to the grocery store and borrowed the scales, and put the dried spicy pork sauce in the red bottle, and the non-spicy in the white bottle. I made more than 30 bottles of the same, one pound per bottle.

Early the next morning, before it was dark, Qi Ning wiped the strips clean with water, went back to wash up and make breakfast, and sent the strips to the table with a porcelain bottle in a basin, and then went back to bring the rest and put them neatly on the case. Use all ten of the newly bought spoons in the water of the wooden basin. Bring it over and keep it for a while for the guests to taste.

The pedestrians on the street increased one after another, Qi Ning put a little bit of everything on a plate, cleared his throat, and shouted crisply: "Come and try it, fresh mushroom and pork sauce, some are spicy and some are not spicy." When he shouted, his face turned red.

Most of the people who entered the city at this time didn't have breakfast, and a young man with a cart heard Qi Ning's voice and put down the car and asked, "What sauce?" ”

"Big brother try it first, shiitake mushroom pork sauce, delicious and rice." Qi Ning took a spoonful and handed it forward enthusiastically.

"I'll taste it." The man put down the car, took the spoon and tasted it: "It's so spicy, it's strong enough." ”

"Big brother, try this non-spicy again." Qi Ning took out a new spoon from the water in the basin, scooped a spoonful, and handed it over.

"Well, it's not spicy and fragrant, but it's not as spicy."

"It seems that the eldest brother likes to eat spicy, buy a bottle, go back and eat it, and put the noodles on it to be more fragrant."

"Hmm, how much does this spicy cost a can?"

"A can is exactly a pound. A can of spicy fifty-five wen, and a can of fifty wen if it is not spicy. ”

"It's so expensive, how much is pork? It's too expensive, don't want it. The man said and was leaving.

"Big brother, don't go and listen to me, you only count the price of pork, there are mushrooms and chili peppers here, you must have tasted it I used the best peanut oil and the bean paste of the famous Liuheju in Fucheng. It's really not expensive, and I can earn a few pennies for a pound. ”

"It's cheaper, I'll want two cans of spicy one hundred wen." The man said hesitantly.

"Okay, I'm opening on the first day today, you're the first customer, I'll give you a hundred dollars and two cans, and my eldest brother will go back and help me promote more." Qi Ning neatly picked up two red jars and sent them to the man.

"You little girl is really good at business, I will help you promote it when I go back." The man took the hot sauce and put it in the car, took out a string of money from his arms and handed it to Qi Ning: "You count, it's exactly one hundred." ”

"Don't count, the eldest brother is a kind person at first glance, and he will come often after eating, and I will make other flavors of hot sauce in a few days, and you will definitely come to taste it when the time comes." Qi Ning smiled and took the money and sent the man away enthusiastically.

The passers-by saw the man buy it and walked away, and came over to taste it one after another, some of them tasted it and left, and some bought one or two cans.

By the time Wu came to open the door, Qi Ning had already bought more than a dozen cans.

"Aunt Wu, come and try my new hot sauce." Qi Ning saw Wu coming from a distance and greeted him warmly.

"Okay, I'll open the shop and go over." Wu took the key and went to open the door first, and her man smelled it.

"Has Uncle Zhu eaten?"

"Just ate it, what a good thing it is." Boss Zhu looked at the hot sauce on the plate and asked.

"You try it first, this is spicy mushroom pork sauce, this is not spicy, you can also taste it." Qi Ning handed him a spoon.

"It's delicious, it's fragrant and spicy." Boss Zhu ate a spoonful of spicy food, scooped up a spoonful of non-spicy one, and tasted it several times.

"It's delicious, it's made with peanut oil and your bean paste."

"It's delicious, how do you sell it?"

"We are all neighbors, and the spicy ones sold to others are fifty-five yuan a can, and fifty yuan is enough for you. If it's not spicy, you'll be counted as forty-five. ”

"Okay, I want one spicy one to eat by myself, and two non-spicy ones to my grandson." Boss Zhu said crisply.

"Well, the red bottle is spicy, and the white bottle is not spicy. Uncle take it. Qi Ning took out three and handed them to Boss Zhu.

"I'll let my wife send you the money later." Boss Zhu happily walked back with three porcelain jars.

"Don't worry, I'll give it again when I'm free." Qi Ning said unheartedly.

Wu came over with the copper plate after cleaning up: "That old thing is not like a glutton, he came over and tasted it before I finished cleaning up." You count it, it's ninety-five words. ”

"Thank you, Aunt Wu, you can taste it too." Qi Ning scooped up a spoonful and handed it over.

"Don't taste it, I've eaten a few bites just now, it's really delicious, you keep these and sell them, it's not easy for a little girl's family to make money, I'll go back first." Wu said and left.

Before noon, sixty bottles of meat sauce were sold out, and Qi Ning went home and calculated the accounts, and one bottle could earn an average of fifteen or sixteen Wen.

"Hey, I've earned so much!" Qi Ning looked at the copper plate on the table and sighed.
