Chapter 8 Trial Sale
The summer sun is really poisonous, and it hurts to shine on the body.
Many people's mouths are dry and skinny.
If only there was a bowl of ice water.
Everyone couldn't help but think so.
"Chilled perilla drink, chilled perilla drink, a penny and a bowl, quench your thirst and quench your fatigue."
Two loud voices suddenly sounded on the avenue, and Mrs. Xie was old, and she didn't feel thin-skinned at all, so she opened her mouth and shouted.
Brother Tuan was young, and he also shouted after his grandmother.
Jokes, this is all made by their own money, don't shout to sell it quickly, it's really sad to accumulate in your hands.
When everyone heard the iced drink, they couldn't help but lick their dry lips.
But a penny and a bowl are still a little hesitant.
Mrs. Xie was not discouraged and continued to shout, Zhang looked a little ashamed, she really couldn't scream.
Hongdou felt sorry for her grandmother and asked her to rest for a while, but the old man didn't do it:
"It's okay, you have to shout at this business, otherwise how will people know what you're doing?"
"Red beans, don't shout, you're a girl, and others want to laugh at it when they see it."
"Your mother is a stuffy gourd, I still don't know after so many years?"
Red Bean also knows that it is best to do this, but it is hard for grandma and younger brother.
But just screaming isn't a thing.
Hongdou lifted the lid of the bucket and scooped two bowls of chilled perilla drink for grandma and younger brother to drink, and secretly blinked his eyes by the way.
Xie Pozi lived to this age, how could she not understand her granddaughter's Xiao Jiujiu.
He and his grandson took one sip after another and drank it, while also talking loudly:
"It's a pleasure to take a sip, and if you put ice on it, it's different, it's cooler than well water."
"Grandma, this one is cold and cold, so comfortable, so comfortable."
Brother Tuan sighed with satisfaction after drinking.
When someone around saw the expression of the grandfather and grandson, they finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran over:
"Bring me a bowl, if it wasn't for the ice-cold, I wouldn't give you any money."
When a guest came to the door, Zhang was so happy that he hurriedly scooped a bowl and handed it over.
Mrs. Xie also made a guarantee on the side:
"Don't worry, young man, I'm embarrassed to accept your money if I'm not cool, hehe."
The person who came took the bowl and poured it into his mouth, and the cold perilla drink, the moment he entered the mouth, he pressed down the heat of the whole body.
The indescribable coolness of the body.
"Happy."
"Auntie didn't lie, this is a little bit of ice that our family managed to save in the winter, and most of it has melted."
"I want to use the remaining bit in a hot day to make up for some household use."
Xie Pozi opened her mouth and made up the origin of the ice, so as not to be inquired about later.
"It's really a drink with ice, and my aunt didn't lie."
After speaking, he took out a penny and threw it to Mrs. Xie, and left briskly.
The people who were watching from behind really couldn't help it, and they swarmed up:
"Bring me a bowl."
"And me, and me."
"I'll have a bowl too."
“。。。”
With so many people buying ice drinks, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang couldn't close their mouths happily.
Hands and feet quickly handed over the ice drinks one by one.
Xie Hongdou stood aside to collect the money, and by the way, he observed the people who bought it, and no one could buy cold noodles at present.
"We also have cold noodles, which are also chilled, eat them when it's hot, appetizing and full, the most suitable, as long as a bowl of eight cents."
When everyone heard a bowl of noodles and eight pennies, they didn't want to be wronged, so they might as well go home and eat it.
"Guys, you really can't do this in your own family."
"After all, it has to be soaked in ice water, and there are not many people who have ice in this weather. And the noodles are different from what everyone usually eats. ”
Red beans talked about the benefits of cold noodles one by one, but the price stopped some people.
There is only one eldest mother, because she feels sorry for the little grandson at home who can't eat in the hot weather.
Seeing that I had lost a lot of weight, I wanted to try cold noodles.
"Little girl, this cold noodle is really like what you said, it's iced, it's not bad, right?"
Hongdou knew that the first customer to try cold noodles was coming, and confidently assured:
"Auntie, we have already eaten this cold noodle at home, and my brother can eat a bowl alone."
"Eating cold noodles on hot weather is absolutely appetizing, I'll mix a bowl for you, you can give money if you think it's delicious."
"Grandma, the cold noodles are delicious, I like them all, and my brother will definitely like them too."
Brother Tuan stood next to him and said solemnly, and nodded as he spoke, for fear that the other party would miss such a delicious thing.
The eldest lady looked at the little group brother, clean and clean, with a pleasing appearance, and she didn't like it.
When you decide to try a bowl yourself, it is delicious and then buy it and take it home.
"Then you can do it."
Zhang's was overjoyed when he saw the business coming to his door, so he didn't need his daughter to say anything more, and hurriedly mixed it with a bowl and handed it to his aunt.
The eldest lady tasted it, and was instantly captured by the taste of both sides:
"Yes, bring me another bowl, and I'll take it back to my grandson."
After selling a lot of cold drinks, Zhang gradually let go of himself, and after happily responding, he continued to prepare cold noodles.
The people around saw that the eldest lady bought two bowls at a time, and they couldn't help but be a little moved.
If you don't lack these pennies, you always want to try it.
"I want a bowl of cold noodles too."
"I'll taste it too, make me a bowl."
“。。。”
When Mrs. Xie saw so many people wanting cold noodles, her happy eyes were gone, but her hands didn't fall at all.
Everyone felt tired and happy.
Noon is not over yet, but there are no things left in the temporary preparation today, and those who did not buy them even have some regrets.
Especially the iced perilla drink, people who have drunk it say that it is cold and relieves the heat.
"Auntie, are you still setting up a stall tomorrow?"
"yes, and cold noodles, I want to try them too."
"Tomorrow..."
Mrs. Xie greeted the guests excitedly, for fear that she would lose the guests:
"Yes, yes, we'll come early tomorrow. You must come and buy it. ”
The crowd was assured, and then slowly dispersed, waiting for tomorrow to come back.
。。。。。。
Back home, several people looked at Xie Hongdou excitedly.
As for why, of course, it's for the money.
Hongdou also liked this feeling, and immediately took out the copper coins harvested today and poured them on the table.
"We sold a total of thirty bowls of cold drinks at noon, ten bowls of cold noodles, one bowl of cold drinks for one penny, and one bowl of cold noodles for eight cents, a total of one hundred and ten wen."
Mrs. Xie was very surprised, they had only been selling for more than an hour in total, and they got a hundred yuan.
More than the men who do a few days of work.
It's no wonder that the rich men like to do business.
Zhang's eyes were even more happy and he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"Happy days, what are you crying about, as if I, the mother-in-law, have abused you."
Mrs. Xie pretended to be a serious joke.
After so many years of getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how could Zhang not understand that her mother-in-law is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
It's just that I'm really happy, after the child's father left, she was worried that she couldn't support the family, but now she can breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the emotions of the two had finally stabilized, Hongdou continued to speak:
"Grandma, mother, this is not all our income."
"Stone, flour, and seasonings are all capital, and we will earn almost half of them if we get rid of these."
Although the price of perilla drink is low, it is large, and the amount can be increased after the ice cubes are turned into water, which is also considered a small profit but quick turnover.
She wanted to add some more to sell together, and the price would go up again.
"Half of it is already good. These are just temporary ideas, and we are not very prepared. ”
"Tomorrow is fully prepared, it will definitely sell better, beans, should we buy some more stones to prepare?"
Grandma Xie and Zhang's mentality is good, as long as they can make a living, they will be diligent.
Save a little every day, and the day will be lived.
