Chapter 30: A Dime Business

The next morning, Li Daxia and Li Xiaoxia packed up the futon and lived in the cold drink factory with Li Shun.

The cold drink factory is a large courtyard with three east houses to stay in, as well as a ready-made kitchen.

Du Rou packed up a lot of daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, and salt, for fear that the children would not be able to eat.

The wagon was full of wheat, rice, flour, and two old hens.

If there is a pigsty in the factory, Du Rou will definitely buy a pig baby. Let the children raise and eat meat, and Li Mu rolled his eyes in depression.

The apprentice Zhou Xiang stayed at home and made newlywed furniture with Li Mu, and Li Shun left many models for Zhou Xiang to practice carving.

Hanwha arrives on a trike, and Han Ying climbs out of the car.

"Don't run around." Li Shun has a little headache, and she is most likely to have a miscarriage after more than 40 days of pregnancy.

"Of course I'm going to check out your cold drink factory! Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. Han Ying had a hippie smile.

On the way, Lee Soon-like sat on pins and needles, complaining that Hanwha's driving was unstable and Hanwha didn't know how to drive.

Li Shun wanted to drive himself, but he was worried that Han Ying would not be able to sit steadily, so he kept telling his eldest brother: "Drive slower, slower again."

Han Ying and Li Daxia laughed, and Han Ying pointed to the Li family's carriage. The motorcycle was rear-ended by a horse-drawn carriage on the road, slow enough.

"Don't worry, Yingying isn't that squeamish." Li Daxia said.

Li Shun glared at Han Ying viciously a few times, causing his sister-in-law to laugh haha.

He hasn't been a father in his two lives, so it's no wonder if he's not worried.

The carriage and motorcycle came to the factory, and everyone was busy unloading, but Han Ying was asked by Li Shun to watch.

After unloading, the three sisters-in-law went to visit the popsicle machine. Li Mu called his son outside the door and said:

"Son, can this business make money?"

"Of course I can make money, I'm sure, believe me."

"Hey, I'm worried that you will lose money, and the debt will have to be repaid."

"Don't worry, my dad." Li Shun hugged his father's shoulders.

"You take care of Daxia Xiaoxia, don't worry about your family, you can go home and get it after eating rice and noodles." After Li Mu finished explaining, he drove the carriage home.

Li Shun came to the ice bag machine and first calculated the volume of the water tank, and then calculated the number of various flavorings.

"You memorize the recipe with your pen." Li Shun put the stainless steel basin on the table and took out the plastic measuring cup from his pocket.

"Fifty milliliters of saccharin sodium."

He poured the saccharin into a stainless steel basin and stirred it with a rice spoon to melt.

Pour into the water bowl after melting, scoop a spoonful of citric acid with a spoon, add water and melt in a basin.

Scoop three spoonfuls of cyclamate directly into the jar, cyclamate is easily soluble in water.

Unscrew the strawberry flavor, take out a new measuring cup and pour 40 ml into the water tank.

Turn on the pump and pump water into the tank until it is full, scoop the drink with a spoon and taste it carefully.

"It's okay, come and try it." Li Shun stretched out his spoon.

Li Daxia took a sip and tasted it in his mouth, and quickly gave a thumbs up:

"It's a little sour, it's a little sweet, it's delicious."

Li Xiaoxia leaned on the spoon and took a sip, her eyes lit up:

"Yes, it's really delicious."

"I'll taste it too." Han Ying came over to join in the fun.

"No, a bunch of chemical products, it's not good for your health." Lee Soon saw Hanwha come in and handed the spoon to Hanwha.

"In my second brother's eyes, only Sister Yingying is made of water, and we are all made of mud." Li Xiaoxia teased Li Shun.

Laughter rang out, and Hanwha tasted the drink and immediately said, "It's delicious!" It's better than what I sell! ”

"Then it worked. Xiaoxia, mix the second cylinder according to the recipe just now. Li Shun started the ice pack machine.

Bags of drinks fell into the big basin, and Li Shun sat on the bench, grabbing two in one hand and putting them into plastic cloth bags.

Fill enough 100 tied pockets and carry them next door to the wall.

"Eldest sister, a pack of 100 ice packs, understand?"

"Got it, I'll try." Li Daxia sat on the bench.

Following Li Shun's example, pack the ice packs in the big basin.

Wait for the first tank to be filled, then fill the second tank, then mix the first tank, and so on.

The machine was very noisy, and Li Shun took Han Ying to the yard.

Han Ying said, "Brother, how are you going to sell ice packs?" ”

Lee Soon:

"Where do you get the ice packs in your commissary?" How much? ”

"It's right in front of the wholesale street. Five dollars a bag, also a hundred in it, sold for a dime a piece. ”

The wholesale price is five cents, the retail price is one dime, and a pack of ice packs earns five yuan.

Hanwha is the retailer, the middleman is the middleman on the wholesale street, and Lee Soon is the producer.

Production, wholesale, and retail should be the general process of the ice pack business.

Two hours later, the sisters were producing 100 packs of ice packs, and a large piece was piled up in the warehouse.

Li Shun calculated the cost, how much polyethylene packaging film, how much electricity, how much square water, and how much flavoring agent were used.

Keep calculating on paper and finally come up with an approximation.

"The total cost is less than two yuan, and you can give the middleman four yuan and give them a profit of one yuan per package." Li Shun was very satisfied.

The largest cost is the outer packaging, which accounts for 70% of the total cost.

For example, a bottle of mineral water, if the factory cost is three cents, the water bottle accounts for two cents, and the outer packaging is far more valuable than water.

"If we sell 100 packs of ice packs, we'll make 200 dollars?" Han Ying couldn't believe it.

"Sell 100 packs a day and earn 6,000 yuan a month?" Li Xiaoxia was also stunned.

Hanwha and Li Daxia were also confused, never expecting that an ice pack for a dime could have a monthly income of 6,000.

"Looks like you're all underestimating a dime business. It is possible to earn 6,000 a month, provided that you sell more. Li Shun said truthfully.

"Hurry up and sell, Brother Hua is loading the car, you go to the wholesale street to run business." Han Ying's pupils turned square in seconds.

Li Shun didn't expect his wife to be a fan of small money, and it was a bit difficult to earn 6,000 a month, so thank God for 3,000.

Hanwha immediately loaded the truck, carrying a bag in one hand and loading it into a motorcycle.

A pack weighs almost ten pounds, Da Xia and Xiao Xia can only hold it with both hands, and the three-wheeled motorcycle can hold up to twenty packs.

The audience for ice packs is elementary and middle school students, especially elementary school students.

Although the pocket money is not much, there are still a dime or two cents, and I am willing to spend this dime to quench my thirst.

Today's primary and secondary schools rarely provide hot water and large barrels of mineral water, and they all drink cold water from the tap.

The main retailer of ice packs is the school commissary, but the village commissary is not very good.

In the village, adults can stop children from eating ice packs.

But in school, parents can't reach it.

The commissary in the school will come to the wholesale street in the county to buy small goods, mainly stationery and children's food.

In the wholesale street, there are stationery stores that specialize in pencils and workbooks, and there are also grocery stores that specialize in children's foods such as spicy strips.

The wholesale department of children's food is the middleman of ice packs.

"Brother Shun, the goods are loaded, you two hurry up, we will cook at home." Han Ying was already impatient.

"Haha, let's go, Brother Hua. Strive to find a few more customers, so that our Han shopkeeper is happy. ”

The family laughed, and Lee Soon, scratching his head, opened the gate and asked Hanwha to drive.
