Chapter Twenty-Five: The Morning Market
Electronic scales and platform scales are quite expensive, and Yao Yuan, who has no money in his pocket, can only get an ancient rod scale.
Fortunately, I have used this thing in the kitchen before, and I can use it, of course, using such a rod scale is also in line with the style of the current morning market, whether it is a vegetable buyer or a fruit seller, everyone uses this guy.
There are good vendors who can play with a pole, and they can earn a lot more at the end of the day just by relying on skillful techniques, so even if they have a good electronic scale, they will not be used for nothing, delaying the harvest.
Of course, Yao Yuan didn't have the technology, and he wasn't ready to do it.
The morning market at the door of the house, shopping around are acquaintances, you have to rely on the quality of the product and the price to slowly establish the reputation, but if there is a little rush for quick success, stealing and cheating, if you don't get it right, you will be found by someone, and it will be a big shame.
In the environment of the morning market, young men do not have any advantage in selling goods, even if you Yao Yuan looks like five people and six people, it is useless, and the picky buyer has any tricks and dares to say anything in order to bring the price down.
In particular, many of our customers are elderly housewives.
Yao Yuan felt that his patience was running out, and once again knocked on the cardboard full of prices: "Auntie, I have told you several times, we are clearly marked with the price, without bargaining, you can taste two bites, and it is okay to point and follow to eat enough, do you buy it?" ”
Auntie stretched out her hand and twisted up a piece of pig ear: "This elbow tastes okay, but it's a little lighter, and why does your ear smell of smoke?" Can you eat it? ”
Yao Yuan's nose was a little crooked: "Then why can't you eat it?" That's the pig's ear, not my ear, the pig's ear and the pig's tail are all smoked, high-end, buy it back and drink the best! ”
The aunt squinted her eyes and tasted it: "Well, I guess my son and wife can like this taste, so what, you can make me two pig's trotters and another ear." ”
Finally waited for the aunt to spit out to buy, Yao Yuan quickly weighed two pig's trotters and one ear, and wrapped them in straw paper: "Come on, it's a total of seven yuan, three cents and eight cents, you take it!" ”
The aunt took out a five-yuan bill from her pocket, added two more pieces of money, and put three banknotes on the tricycle: "Well, this is seven yuan, don't ask for the remaining three cents!" ”
After that, he grabbed the paper bag and turned around and left......
"Hey! Ay! Yao Yuan shouted twice and didn't stop the other party, and angrily threw the rod scale in his hand to the car: "What kind of person is this, why don't you take advantage of it?!" ”
After the exercise of the night market last night, Man Cheng has completely adapted to the environment, and persuaded on the side: "Isn't it like this to sell goods in the free market, and the same is true for our family, and people can come next time to wipe a little bit of change." ”
Okay, Yao Yuan had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, two pig's trotters and one ear are equivalent to one being cheaper than a dime, which can be regarded as the past.
Today is the first day out of the stall, don't think that the product can be sold, as long as it can be sold, as long as someone has tasted their own marinated goods, it is considered a success, Yao Yuan is confident that his craftsmanship can still pass, as long as the customer has eaten, he is not afraid that there will be no repeat customers in the future.
The sun is getting higher and higher, the weather is getting hotter, there are more and more people on the street, and the atmosphere is noisy.
Man Cheng was obviously in a state of flux, shouting to solicit guests while helping to pack, his round nose covered with fine beads of sweat.
After a few years in the disciplined forces, when he first entered the society, Mancheng seemed to be very fascinated by this kind of street work, and he was a little bit more energetic, especially when he heard the guests praise his braised pork for its good taste and taste, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
It's also strange that Mancheng's image coupled with his thick northwest accent is more popular with customers, and aunts and aunts are willing to chat with him, and even the bargaining seems to be much smaller.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer things on the tricycle, the smile on Mancheng's face became stronger: "How much money do you say we can earn if we buy all the goods?" ”
Although Man Cheng has made it clear that he is just helping and not taking money, he still can't help but ask, after all, everyone will be curious about making money, and they generally can't help it.
Yao Yuan replied with a smile: "Today we are an experiment, yesterday it was a total of more than forty catties of meat, and it is estimated that it will be about thirty catties after marinating, so even if it is all bought, it is estimated that you will be able to earn 100 yuan." ”
Man Cheng nodded: "One hundred yuan is really a lot, but it's three thousand yuan in a month!" ”
Yao Yuan smiled evilly: "That's right, the money you earned from raising pigs for five months!" ”
Man Cheng nodded silently and stopped talking.
Yao Yuan was on the side, but he didn't finish: "Hey, I said, you have followed the process of braising the meat again, you said that if we spread it out, can we braise five hundred catties of meat in a day?" ”
Man Cheng was taken aback: "What? Five hundred pounds?! ”
When I turned my head and thought about the entire workflow yesterday, I felt that this number was not impossible.
More than 40 catties of elbows, pig's trotters and the like, almost relied on him to clean up alone, and it didn't take long to put them all neatly, and the rest was to mix the braised soup and open the fire to marinate, which was not too troublesome at all.
Turning his head and thinking about it again, he thought of the key point: "No, even if we can make it, can we sell these 500 catties of braised meat?" ”
"If we can't sell it today, it doesn't mean that we won't be able to sell it in a month, as long as the product quality can be guaranteed and a reputation is formed, it shouldn't be difficult to sell hundreds of catties of meat every day in this market." If you talk to the man who sells raw meat, he can sell two pigs in a day, which is more than 500 catties of meat! Yao said from afar, and pointed to the meat stall in the distance.
As soon as you get busy, you will feel that time flies, and before you know it, Xie Laopao'er has appeared in front of the tricycle: "Damn!" No way! What time does the stall come out, it's not even nine o'clock, and everything is almost sold out? ”
Man Cheng hurriedly replied: "There are only more than 30 catties of meat in total, which is not enough to sell." ”
Yao Yuan glanced at Mancheng sideways, and nodded secretly in his heart, he was afraid that this potato-like Mancheng would be narrow-minded and couldn't let go, but now it seems that it is not the same thing at all, as long as he adapts to the environment, this is a good material.
Pointing to the few elbows left, Yao Yuan told Xie Lao Pao'er: "You can leave me three of these elbows for a while, there are a few old brothers who practice wrestling in Zizhu Park are my acquaintances, and I told them to leave a few at the stall today, so that they can taste our craftsmanship." ”
Xie Lao Pao nodded in response: "Then do you still collect money?" ”
Yao Yuan's eyes stood up: "Nonsense! Nonsense! What we do is trading, can we not collect money? But when the time comes, you give them a little more reckless, which can be regarded as saving face. ”
Xie Lao Claw'er understood: "Okay, you'll be fine, it's not too early, you two hurry up and go home!" ”
Yao Yuan turned around and greeted Mancheng: "Okay, let's hand it over, hand over the money and accounts to Lao Xie, and then let's go home to take a bath and rest." ”
This form of work is a typical two-headed shift, busy for a while in the morning, busy for a while in the afternoon and evening, leaving enough time to rest and adjust in the middle, and only after resting can you continue to fight.
Man Cheng reluctantly handed over the bookkeeping book to Xie Lao Pao'er, and then looked at Yao Yuan: "It's okay for me to go back, why don't I stay with Lao Xie for a while?" Sell the rest before leaving? ”
……
Yesterday's stew sold a total of more than 280 bowls, the estimated gross profit is about 580, Xie Laopaoer and Hu Xiaochuber were busy until almost twelve o'clock to close the stall, not because there are few people too busy, but after nine o'clock there are obviously fewer people in the night market, and most of them have already eaten, if you want to sell more, you can only pull the night.
It was not until after eleven o'clock that there were workers from factories and restaurants who passed by after the night shift, and then set off a small upsurge of selling goods, that is, all the stews were sold out later, otherwise according to Xie Laopao'er, if they could work until two o'clock in the morning, even if they were five hundred bowls of stew, they would be sold out.
One of the reasons why the sales of braised boiled food are so good is that at night, there is really no place to eat, and hungry customers have nowhere to go except for street stalls; There are also stall owners who sell clothing department stores and other things in the night market, and they also have to eat after closing the stalls, and they alone can contribute a lot of turnover; Another important reason is that this stewed stall has been set up for a few days, and a certain reputation has been formed in a small area, and many customers will take a detour to eat this bite.
But Yao Yuan estimated that 300 bowls of stewed boiled food is the limit of this stall, although there will be a wave of diners in the early morning, but these few people who set up the stall are not suitable for lighting lamps and boiling oil at night to earn this hard-earned money.
However, the potential of the braised meat stall is still very large, and it doesn't take much effort to find a way to increase the volume, so it's worth working harder.
Thinking about the small tent in his heart, he lowered his head and walked home, probably because of Saturday, there were obviously more pedestrians on the street, because of the existence of stalls on the road, and the pedestrians were almost to the extent of rubbing shoulders.
Suddenly, a familiar figure broke into view, and a small @ flat head was drilling around in the most crowded place.
Yao Yuan's eyes widened suddenly: "What the hell is this special thing called the narrow road of the enemy?!" The little bunny went to the morning market again to do something? ”
As soon as he wanted to chase after him, he suddenly calmed down again, took two steps back, found a stall selling groceries and hid behind it, and then began to look around.
No way, I've suffered three losses, there's no way not to have a long memory, these grandsons definitely didn't come out alone to commit crimes, there were those who took the lead, there were those who took the lead, and those who were responsible for transferring stolen goods, it was a gang to commit crimes, this time if you don't make a move, you must be steady and ruthless, you must get this little @ flat head into it for a few days!
Observing to the side with cold eyes, he slowly saw the clues, Xiao @ Pingtou should be embellished with an aunt, looking for an opportunity to start, and Xiao @ Pingtou is followed by two groups of people.
A few of the children who are close to each other are also a few underage children, several children look familiar, pretending to be nothing in the laughter and playing, in fact, it should be covering for the little @ flat head, and help transfer the stolen goods after you get your hands on it, in case you miss it, you can quickly come forward to mess up the scene and divert your attention.
And in the shade on the side of the road, there are two figures who are about to leave, and their faces are not good!
