Chapter 794: A sound of wow (please give me a monthly vote)
The rice dumplings were very enjoyable at noon. In the evening, Gao Genzhu made this into fried noodles again.
I put some green peppers, garlic shoots and eggs in it, and I ate a large bowl full of aged ones.
In the past, when I entered those copies, I often had a meal and was hungry again at night. But since I came here, I have never felt this way. Even if I had supper at six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, I'll be there.
I don't have any hunger at twelve o'clock in the evening.
Every time, it is a full bowl of noodles and served with some small cold dishes.
I was so excited to work after eating.
However, on the ninth day of the lunar month, Gao Genzhu said while busy preparing lunch: "We will have a meeting here in a few days, and then I want to set up a stall there to sell noodles."
After hearing this, Chen Nian asked curiously: "What is a meeting?"
"It's just... it's a big frenzy. At that time, there will be opera troupes, juggling, some vendors, selling gadgets, and community fire shows. At night, there will be ironwork flowers, and you can also see lights or something."
Chen Nian became interested when he heard this. In the past, they had similar activities. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in addition to every household having to eat Lantern Festival, there were also dragon and lion dance performances in many places, such as what Gao Genzhu said.
There are also those who sell gadgets and snacks.
But after all, it is so far away, and there are still some differences in some customs.
This made Chen Nian even more excited.
"Brother Genzhu, then will we sell noodles outside then?"
"Well, that's what I plan, but then you can take Xiao Fugui out for fun. The noodle stall is here, your sister-in-law and I will be enough."
Chen Nian nodded and suddenly had an idea: "Brother Genzhu, if you can't be busy at that time, I will help you. If you can get through, I can sell some other gadgets.
Son."
“What to sell?”
"For example, if you pinch the dough, there will be more children and women at that time, and you will probably like it."
"Okay, but can you do this?"
"No problem. I did this for Xiao Fugui some time ago. Then I can sell it with Xiao Fugui, so we can make two money."
"That's fine, then let's make the decision first, and prepare for the next few days."
After they agreed, Chen Nian turned around and told Xiao Fugui about this matter.
"Xiao Fugui, by the fifteenth day, there will be a meeting in the county, and your parents will set up a noodle stall there, but I thought about it and we can also do business, make some money, and make money.
We will split the money."
When Xiao Fugui heard about making money, he became interested: "Brother Chen Nian, how do we make money?"
"I plan to make dough guys."
"But I can't make dough guys."
"It's okay. On that day, we set up a stall there. If I'm a noodle guy, you will be responsible for selling it. You can share the money you sold, such as if you sell it for ten cents, you can get one."
"It's only one cent?" Xiao Fugui was a little uncomfortable when he heard this number.
"Yes, a penny is a lot. This ten cent is also included in the cost. If we want a face seller, the face must be paid, right? And the colors applied to the face seller also need to be paid. The face wearer also needs to be paid.
We have to spend money to buy bamboo sticks. We can't go up the mountain to cut bamboo. And Xiao Fugui, you just need to tell the guests when they ask for the price, and occasionally shout again. The main thing is to make the noodles.
I do the work.
If you think about it again, is this money a lot?"
Xiao Fugui tilted his head and thought for a while: "It seems to be OK."
"Then we'll decide that."
So in the next period of time, Chen Nian went out to buy some bamboo chopped by others, took it back and peeled it into bamboo sticks, and polished it smoothly.
Then I thought about some styles and planned to practice my skills before the official sale.
At the beginning, Chen Nian thought about some mythical characters such as Sun Wukong, Nezha, Erlang Shen, etc.
Even if time and space are different, these images still exist in this world.
But after Chen Nian tried it, he found that this seemed a bit too difficult. Although he could do some simple things, it was still a bit disappointing to do such complicated things.
In the end, the old man had to settle for the second best choice, Peppa Pig, Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and some simple little animals.
Chen Nian was not afraid of making these images. After all, they were all separated by a space of time. Disney headquarters could not cross time and space to sue itself in court, right?
Sure enough, after choosing these slightly simpler images, Chen Nian thought about it for a few days and then figured it out.
And he also thought about the pricing. Ordinary small animals cost two to three cents each depending on the complexity, while those cartoon images were all five cents.
After all, the price you sell must be worthy of your skills.
Moreover, this is still in a small county town below Shanxi. If you go to the city and get old, it will cost at least ten cents.
As a result, during the time when Chen Nian was practicing making dough, he happened to meet a carpenter next door to visit.
"Chennian, what are you doing?" Li Yan asked curiously after seeing the small dough one by one in front of Chennian."
"Brother Yan, I plan to try to be a décor guy and set up a stall there to sell it when the meeting is coming."
"Why did you suddenly remember to sell this?"
"Isn't this a profitable thing? Brother Genzhu will also plan to set up a noodle stall by then, but two people in the noodle stall are enough, so I'm thinking about making something more."
Li Yan thought about it after hearing this.
"You're a good idea. If you say that, we can also make some gadgets and sell them out at that time."
"I think it's OK. Your carpenters are good at work. If you can make some exquisite little things, you will probably not have to worry about betrayal. I heard from Brother Genzhu that it's not only the people in our county who are making a fortune in the coming hours, but some people next door
People from the county will come here to join in the fun."
"Yes, there are still a few days left. I will think about how to do this thing when I go back."
Chen Nian looked at Li Yan who seemed to have discovered the New World and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, my suggestion is to do the gadgets that children play with.
For example, some tangrams, Kongming locks, Luban locks, etc. In addition to these, you can also carve small things with wood, such as kittens, dogs, small houses, small cars, etc., children should also like them."
That is, Chen Nian did the work of a carpenter himself, otherwise he would do this. The things don't need to be too big, at most they just have the same size as their thumb. This way, it is easy to do, small and beautiful.
"Chen Nian, you are really a good material for doing business. You can think of such an idea. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to think of these ways to make money."
"It's okay, we can put the stalls together at that time, so that we can sell things together and take care of each other."
"Okay, okay, then we will go and see the place and take a good place as soon as possible."
Afterwards, Meng Ping took his son-in-law Li Yan in to chat with Gao Genzhu, while Chen Nian continued to pinch the dough in the yard.
Before the meeting begins, the old ones have to be made into a batch, which can be used for display at that time, otherwise the guests will not know what you will do, so they will not have to choose at all.
In this case, even if it is made by old people, they will dislike it once it looks different from what the customers think.
After a while, they finally started to have a prosperous future.
The days of prosperity here usually start from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, which is also the time stipulated by the court.
There is no curfew in these days. People want to play outside until what time to go back, and don’t worry about being punished for this.
Lingma County is also a relatively wealthy county town here, and there are many wealthy families. In addition to being able to arrange their own homes, they will also pay to decorate some lanterns in the county town.
When it gets dark every day, light the lights and it will be light until the next day.
Of course, there are some anger among these big players, so every year everyone is full of energy and wants to compete with each other. Therefore, the lanterns outside are also beautiful ones.
However, people here usually hang the lights on the 14th day. After all, even when it is midnight, it is fifteenth, so they naturally have to turn on the lights as soon as possible.
Under the influence of these high-ranking families, the people gradually developed the habit of celebrating the Lantern Festival at the 14th.
On this day, many small vendors gathered on the open space east of the county government.
The place is quite small, and at first glance, there are fifty or sixty stalls in total.
Some are big and some are small, but they don’t need too much space for old people. As long as there is a place to put down the stall, and then five or six tables can be placed.
As for Chen Nian and Xiao Fugui’s noodle stall, it is even smaller, which is only two square meters in total.
The neighbor's carpenter also placed the stall next to Chen Nian. After all, they all sell gadgets, but they are not the same thing. Putting them together can make the business better.
This is like opening a store in reality. Most people will spontaneously gather together. The whole street selling snacks sells snacks, and the whole street selling auto parts sells auto parts.
This makes it easier for customers to compare and compare.
Don't have to run here and there.
Of course, when you gather like this, everyone can only compete with their own abilities. Your things are not as good as others, and customers can go to other people's homes by taking two more steps.
In this open space, there are actually two sugar sellers. They are older and have better skills. For example, the Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie that Chen Nian wanted to make before.
But what Chen Nian wants now is that although I don’t have what others have, others don’t have what I have.
