Chapter 23: Disappointment
Hua Xi ended up setting up a small stall next to a stall selling soy milk fritters. After all, they all sell food here, and the passenger flow is relatively concentrated.
And the old man who made fritters was also easy to talk to, and helped Huaxi set up the pot, and Huaxi began to get busy.
She had already decided to make bacon flatbreads.
Frying the oily flatbread in a frying pan, brushing it with its own chili sauce, and rolling it with shredded potatoes, tofu skin and bacon.
A good bacon flatbread, she sells it for 5 cents, and if you want to add an omelette, add 2 cents.
She also stewed a pot of soft and glutinous mashed potatoes and sold them with bacon flatbread.
Buy a small bowl of mashed potatoes for two cents, but if you buy a bacon flatbread, get a bowl of mashed potatoes.
In order to facilitate the early opening of sales, she also deliberately wrote on the cardboard: the first three customers every day, buy two get one free.
She calculated the cost, although she didn't make money by buying two and getting one free, she didn't lose money, she just made some effort. But as long as someone eats it, she has the confidence to open up sales.
The mashed potatoes were quickly cooked, the bacon was quickly out of the pot, and the aromas mixed together and wafted out, so that everyone who passed by couldn't help but look at it.
Hua Xi neatly baked a large cake, rolled the meat and side dishes, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the cake was delivered to the old man who had just helped with the fried fritters.
"Uncle Cui, this is the bacon flatbread I made, you can taste it."
"Where is this, you haven't opened yet, how can I eat you, keep it!" Uncle Cui waved his hand embarrassedly.
Hua Xi directly stuffed the bacon flatbread into Uncle Cui's hand, "It's because I've just started doing business that I need your advice, you can taste it, if it's not delicious, I'll improve it." ”
Hua Xi knew Uncle Cui's concerns, and was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "I love to drink soy milk, if you have leftovers tomorrow morning, leave me a bowl to taste."
"Hey, you girl, you can drink enough soy milk tomorrow!"
Uncle Cui took the bacon flatbread and didn't refuse. How can the things made of white flour not be delicious, not to mention that he also saw Hua Xi stuff a lot of meat into the flatbread.
Uncle Cui looked at the people around him who seemed to be looking at the bacon flatbread in his hand, and he couldn't help it, so he hurriedly took a bite.
As a result, in everyone's sight, the simple and unpretentious old man's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
Hua Xi also asked a little nervously: "Uncle Cui, what's the matter, is it delicious?"
I don't know if the things she makes are not in line with the tastes of people today.
Uncle Cui didn't have time to speak, and stuffed the flatbread into his mouth one bite after another, as if he had never eaten such a delicious thing.
Hua Xi looked at Uncle Cui's reaction, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and filled another bowl of mashed potatoes, "Uncle, eat slowly, don't choke." ”
Uncle Cui was really a little choked because he ate too fast, and he was not polite, so he took the mashed potatoes and took a sip, pressed the cake in his mouth with the soup, and then gave Hua Xi a thumbs up approvingly.
"You girl, your craftsmanship is too good, this cake is so delicious, my old man has never eaten such a delicious cake in most of his life!"
"Girl, you can take care of the uncle's soybean milk and fritters in the future, and you must roll a bacon flatbread for the uncle in the evening, so I can take it home and give my old wife a taste!"
"Hey, okay!"
Hua Xi agreed, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the smile on her face completely bloomed.
Of course, she is happy that the things she makes can be recognized, which means that the things she makes meet the taste of the public, so she will not worry about selling.
Hua Xi was about to make a few more and put them on the side of the pot for proofing, but after a hula, more than a dozen people came around.
"Bacon flatbread, give me a taste!"
"Boss, I'll come to two, buy two get one free!"
"Get us six! Boss, you can say that the first three customers have discounts, and you have to count four of our six bacon flatbreads! ”
"I want one with eggs! Oh, and don't forget to send mashed potatoes! ”
……
The crowd completely surrounded Hanaxi, and people had never eaten this bacon flatbread before, and they all wanted to try it.
Huaxi was busy all of a sudden, pancakes, rolling meat, and was very busy.
At the same time as the burrito, she also observed that most of the people who came to buy food were wearing the uniforms of different factories, and she also had a bottom in her heart. Sure enough, it is right for her to come near the train station, today is a trial operation, and buying cakes today may be fresh for everyone, but as long as there are repeat customers tomorrow, it means that there is a market for the bacon flatbread she makes.
Thinking about it this way, Hua Xi worked harder, and each flatbread was stuffed with meat, and she must not let her customers say that she was short of pounds and pounds, and she must be worth the money.
An hour later, Hua Xi, who was so busy, said apologetically to the last few people who came over to buy cakes: "Big brother and sister, I'm sorry, today's cakes are all sold out, you want to taste them, and I will set them aside for you in advance tomorrow."
"It's not sold out so soon? Little girl, you can't do this business, many people in our factory just said that they want to come and buy it, you have to prepare some materials. ”
The eldest sister who spoke was wearing overalls, and at first glance she was a worker in a nearby factory. Hua Xi was very surprised, she thought that she would not know until tomorrow if there would be repeat customers, but she didn't expect that it would be effective in less than a noon.
"Yes, listen to you, I will prepare more tomorrow, I have just started, I have no experience, you are welcome to give valuable advice."
"This little fat girl, her mouth is so sweet, then leave us tomorrow, I have to taste how delicious your bacon flatbread is!"
"Okay, I'll leave it for you and your eldest sister!"
Hua Xi sent away all the customers who didn't buy it, and then wiped the sweat from his head.
Looking at the box full of change on the side of the pot, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
She's making money!
There were many people in the market, and it was inconvenient for her to count in front of everyone, so she hurriedly closed her stall and only held the money box in her arms.
Uncle Cui, who sells fritters, saw that the flowers were happy to close the stall and also came to help.
Hua Xi took out a bacon flatbread from under the stove, "Uncle, this is what I left for you, you can take it back for Auntie to taste." ”
The oily flatbread was still steaming, and at first glance, it was Huaxi who deliberately left it under the stove.
Uncle Cui was moved, "You girl, you really stayed, you said how good you sold!" ”
Just now, how many people wanted to buy in front of Huaxi's stall, he was clear. Many people didn't buy it, and she didn't have enough to sell it herself, so she even kept it for him.
Hua Xi said with a smile: "Money is not earned in a day, you can take it, my home is far away, I have to go back to take care of my grandfather, go back first."
"Hey, okay, go back, what a filial child."
Uncle Cui saw that Hua Xi's big bags and small bags were about to be carried home, and hurriedly said: "Girl, you are far away, don't take things back and forth, my house is opposite the market, you put it in my yard, and in the future, you can go directly to me to get it from the stall every day, and it will save you the inconvenience of carrying it back and forth."
"This ...... Wouldn't that be too much trouble? Hanaki asked hesitantly.
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, anyway, I'm out of the stall myself, the yard at home is big, you don't have as much stuff as my fried fritters, it's okay!"
"Thank you so much!"
Hua Xi hurriedly bowed to Uncle Cui, and then took his things and followed Uncle Cui's house.
It's in a small alley not far from the market, which is very easy to find and convenient.
Hua Xi thanked him, sorted out the money and stuffed it into his pocket, and then left.
It was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Hua Xi was not in a hurry to go back, but took the money and shuttled through the small alleys of the county seat.
She was relieved until she came to a hidden alley and waited for a while to make sure no one was following her.
During this period, there were robbers and thieves, and it was indispensable to guard against others.
And at this moment, she can finally count the money with peace of mind!
