Chapter 51: Solicitation
Zhao Laosi is very satisfied with the current life: "It's not bad, we can net forty or fifty yuan a day." ”
This day can be worth ten days for him to go to someone else's house.
For those of their generation who can endure hardship, it is much easier to open a store now than to dig food in the field.
They really didn't feel tired and hard.
Therefore, there were no customers in the afternoon, and he still began to do the work of a carpenter, making some rattan basket sieves and selling them in the store, so that he could have a little more.
At this rate, the borrowed money will be paid off during the Chinese New Year.
When I think about it this way, my days are even more promising.
Seeing Xiao Hong frowning slightly, he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, the braised chicken will be sold out at noon, and the account book is in the drawer." ”
Before opening the store, the family said that it was okay, and all the money earned from selling braised chicken belonged to Xiao Hong, so even if the profit of braised chicken was good and the sale was good, they didn't have any bad intentions, and they all kept accounts.
And if she hadn't taught them to braise pig's heads and do business, they really didn't expect that this food business could make so much money.
Therefore, he was grateful to Xiao Hong from the bottom of his heart, and he was not blinded by money and wanted to be greedy for her money.
In fact, at this time, most of the money earned by young people who are not married or married has to be handed over to their parents.
If Xiao Hong was still in the Xiao family, the money earned would definitely be taken away by Xiao Jianhua.
But now it's different, she only came to join her mother and stepfather this year, they think Xiao Hong is smart and capable, and she can make money, and they already treat her as an adult in their hearts.
I was worried that she would think that they were fancy her money, so she naturally let her take care of the money herself.
But Xiao Hong is strange now: "This turnover is about the same as before the school started?" ”
She chose to open a store here just to earn money from her high school classmates.
Now it seems that this plan has clearly failed.
Xiao Fang also nodded: "Yes, there are not many students who come here to eat dumplings." ”
She had already discovered the problem, but seeing that she was focused on studying, she didn't say anything about it.
Anyway, in Xiao Fang's opinion, the family now earns a lot of money, and it is rare to see Xiao Hong studying so seriously, so don't mention these trivial matters to her.
Now their main task is to study hard.
But Xiao Hong was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to pick up wool, her eyes fell on Zhao Laosi's hand, and she came up with an idea: "Uncle, can you make a small steamer?" ”
Zhao Laosi looked at the size she drew and wondered: "It's useless to be so small?" Can only steam one bun? ”
"It's getting cold, I want to try steamed dumplings."
Xiao Hong also had an idea: "After steaming in this way, the meal can be sent to the school gate to be sold, and the time to keep warm will be long." ”
"Even if you can't sell out, you can still sell it to customers in the store."
After speaking, he was a little depressed: "If it weren't for the fact that our family is not good at making steamed buns, xiaolongbao would be better sold." ”
"Xiaohong, you have a really good brain." Zhao Laosi saw that she had come up with a good idea again, and he was also very cooperative: "I'll start making a small steamer now." ”
He was busy for more than two hours, and finally according to Xiao Hong's request, he made a small steamer before dinner.
Xiao Hong cut a straw mat and put it in the steamer, and then put ten dumplings on it and started steaming.
After twenty minutes, the steamed dumplings are placed on the table.
Now they have their own dumpling shop and lo-mei shop, and they want their children to be healthier, so naturally they can eat some good ones often, and they don't really want to eat dumplings.
After Zhao Laosi took a steamed dumpling and ate it, his eyes lit up: "The steamed dumplings are more chewy." ”
Yanyan hurriedly agreed: "Yes, this is better than boiled dumplings." ”
Xiao Hong was also satisfied after tasting it: "Uncle, you make a few more steamers..."
After saying that, she thought that it would take time to do this, so she changed her mind again: "Let grandpa help them do it, prepare a hundred steamers first, and then take some to sell at the school gate." ”
"When they eat it, they will automatically come to the door later."
Xiao Fang also nodded: "This idea is good, steamed dumplings taste good, much better than rice." ”
Boarding students have steamed rice for three meals a day, and those who are willing to go to the canteen to buy some food, and those who are not willing to eat each meal are dried plum vegetables.
It's really unappetizing.
If she could buy fragrant dumplings at the school gate, she also felt that her classmates who had a little pocket money in their pockets would be willing to buy them.
Waited until Monday morning.
After the morning self-study, Xiao Hong greeted the classmates before they got up: "Xinning, we will invite you to eat steamed dumplings this morning." ”
Her voice was crisp, and the classmates in front of her coaxed when they heard it: "Oh, Xiao Hong, why did you invite Xinning to eat dumplings?" ”
Although the schoolwork in the third year of high school is intense, it does not affect the students' hobby of gossip.
Especially men and women of this age, it is easy to like Mo people.
In their class, there are a few pairs of classmates who look at each other and are a little ambiguous.
At this time, all the students in the class stopped and looked at them curiously.
Xiao Hong originally wanted to take the opportunity to advertise, and said very generously: "My family runs a dumpling shop, and my parents sell dumplings at the school gate?" ”
Xiao Fang on the side looked at her with admiration, but she couldn't say it, she always felt embarrassed to come, as if she was pulling her classmates to buy her own dumplings.
Xu Xinning glanced at Xiao Fang, who was blushing, and then looked at Xiao Hong, who was calm and composed, but he was very cooperative: "Okay, your dumplings are delicious, I'm thinking about it?" ”
A few male classmates shouted: "Then I'll go too, I don't want to eat at all in the morning." ”
And at this moment, Zhao Laosi was already waiting at the school gate.
He also borrowed the tricycle of the Huang family next door, and the car was full of small steamers, on which were fifty steaming steaming dumplings.
When the school gate opened and the day students rushed out, they took a curious look at it and went home with their classmates.
Zhao Laosi wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout the words 'selling steamed dumplings'.
Fortunately, Xiao Hong and they came out at this time.
Xiao Hong first lifted the lid of the small steamer, so that everyone could see the dumplings with a little pink, and greeted the students very generously: "Five dimes for a basket of steamed dumplings, if it is not delicious, it doesn't cost money, if you have a small appetite, you can buy a cage together." ”
"Today, the steamer can be taken away and eaten before being sent out, and since tomorrow, the students have worked hard to bring their own lunch boxes to pack steamed dumplings."
"It smells so good!" A male classmate took a deep breath and happily took out five dimes and handed it to her: "Give me a cage too." ”
Zhao Laosi hurriedly handed him a cage as well.
Xu Xinning stood there with a small steamer, and was not shy to eat with chopsticks, and asked a few male classmates who approached to take a steamed dumpling from their steamer to taste it.
Nowadays, people don't think it's inappropriate to eat out.
Many people who bought steamed dumplings drove around the tricycle to eat.
The students who came out in the back saw it, and some people also came to buy it.
Now, the students who were eating breakfast with dried plum vegetables in their lunch boxes couldn't swallow anymore, and some of them began to buy a cage for two people to eat.
Xiao Hong took the opportunity to point out his own storefront: "My store is there, everyone goes to the store to eat on rainy days, and there are vinegar and seasonings in it?" ”
