Chapter 8 Business Opening
"Well, if you're tired, don't hold on."
"Well, I got it, Mom."
The two spoke, and set off for Tong'an County.
As for the two younger siblings, the road is too far, and there are many people in the county, so they are afraid of encountering human traffickers. If they are not careful, they may not be able to watch it, but they will stay at home and be safe.
On the way, Lu Fengmei pulled the cart and walked seven or eight miles, and asked about Su Xiaoran's situation from time to time.
"Mom, are you tired, I'll help you for a while?"
Lu Fengmei hurriedly waved her hand, "No, mom is not tired, she can move." ”
The two walked all the way, resting all the way, and it took an hour and a half to reach Tong'an County.
Su Xiaoran looked at the county seat in the eighties, the urban construction was relatively average, there were many two-story buildings, but there were almost no high-rise buildings.
The road is still gravel, and there is no cement paving.
Most of the roads are bicycles, and cars are rare.
Because it had just opened, there were very few private shops on the streets at this time, and they were basically state-owned units.
For Su Xiaoran, this is an opportunity.
Now there are fewer self-employed people, and the competitive pressure in the market is small.
She has no capital to open a store, so she can only wait for the future when she has saved enough money to come to the county seat to get a shop.
The mother and daughter were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the county, but pulled the board car to the railway station.
Next to the train station, there are also some vendors.
However, they sell dry goods such as melon seeds and peanuts, as well as water and drinks.
I haven't seen anyone like them selling snacks.
Lu Fengmei was a little uncertain in her heart, but since she had taken the first step, she had to give it a try.
When she got there, she turned up the fire and began to roast the sweet potatoes.
Twenty minutes later, a strong sweet potato aroma spreads.
Lu Fengmei was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell it, so the first batch was not much.
In this way, even if you can't sell it, you can reduce the loss, and if you bake too much, you can't finish it at home, and it will be wasted.
Su Xiaoran made a hand on the side.
For roasted sweet potatoes, they are divided according to their size, and the size is different, and the selling price is naturally different.
The big one is one and a half, the medium one is one dime, and the small one is five cents.
The price of sweet potatoes in the countryside is low, and a pound of sweet potatoes is only three cents.
A large sweet potato weighs almost a pound.
If it can be sold smoothly, after deducting the weight of the shrinkage after roasting, a pound of sweet potatoes can earn a dime.
Su Xiaoran had just placed the roasted sweet potatoes, and before he could sell them, some passing passengers were attracted by the fragrance of sweet potatoes.
"Is this roasted sweet potato sold?"
When Su Xiaoran saw the guests coming, she immediately nodded and said, "Sell it." ”
Lu Fengmei was also happy in her heart.
She was also worried that the roasted sweet potatoes would not sell, but she didn't expect that someone would really ask.
"How did you sell it?"
Su Xiaoran pointed to the divided sweet potatoes and said, "The big one is one hair and five cents, the medium one is one hair, and the small one is five points." ”
Lu Fengmei opened her mouth when she heard Su Xiaoran's offer.
That's too expensive, isn't it? Isn't this a money grab?
Sweet potatoes are fed to pigs in the countryside, and they won't be sold at such a high price in the city, right?
Unless these city people are stupid and have a lot of money.
The result was different from what Lu Fengmei expected, and the guest pointed to the sweet potato and said, "Bring me one big one and two small ones." ”
Su Xiaoran hurriedly responded, wrapped it in butter paper and handed it to the guest.
"Give." The guest counted three cents and five cents and gave it to Su Xiaoran.
Su Xiaoran took it, with a smile on her face.
Well, she made money!
