Chapter 79 You and your brother-in-law are so harmonious recently
Uncle Chen held a machete and guarded the fish-killing stall, but he didn't kill a single fish for a long time.
Looking up and seeing Su Yue's back going out, he asked his son in a low voice, "Erlang, what did Sanlang's wife do?"
Chen Erlang scratched his head, "I guess he went to Sanlang to find a solution, right?"
"It's been more than half an hour, and we haven't sold anything."
Seeing that all the customers in the store were just curious, Chen Erlang approached Uncle Chen and asked in a low voice:
"Dad, do you think Sanlang's business is not going to work?"
"I heard from those people just now that there are also live fish sellers in the market, and the price is cheaper than here."
Chen Erlang looked worried, "You said such a big shop, if they can't sell fish, wouldn't Sanlang and the others lose the money?"
Uncle Chen didn't know what he was doing. He was anxious, but he didn't dare to show it in front of his son.
"Erlang, if you keep shouting hard, when Sanlang's wife comes back, I'll ask her, can we sell it at the same price as in the market?"
Chen Erlang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'll shout a few more times."
Another half hour passed, and Chen Erlang's voice was almost hoarse. He only sold two fish.
Chen Erlang was very depressed.
At this time, Su Yue came back.
Chen Erlang's eyes lit up, "Brother and sister, are you back? Have you found Sanlang?"
"Sanlang, do you have any good ideas?"
Su Yue glanced at him strangely, "I didn't go to see Saburo."
The light in Chen Erlang's eyes dimmed. Didn't he go to see Sanlang?
Then what have you been doing?
Chen Erlang opened his mouth, not embarrassed to ask this question.
He was a little afraid of Su Yue.
He discussed with Su Yue for a while, "Brothers and sisters, there is no one to buy fish. How about I pack some fish and sell them in the market?"
"No need." Su Yue shook her head, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Erlang, "Put this on the door, and business will come to you soon."
Chen Erlang looked at the content on the paper and was confused. After posting this, someone came to buy fish?
At the same time, at the gate of Xiangmanyuan, Su Li, Li Hai, Ergou and others came out, each holding a long pot in their hands.
As soon as all the pots were opened, the mouth-watering aroma immediately hit the nostrils, attracting many people to stop.
Li Hai asked Su Li in a low voice, "Do you remember everything Mrs. Su said?"
Su Li nodded and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Of course, I'm so worried, why don't you come?"
Li Hai took a step back and said, "I'm not as promiscuous as you. Madam Su said you can start your performance when you're ready."
Su Li rolled up his sleeves and shouted with a smile:
"Ladies, aunts, sisters, sisters, if you are passing by, don't miss it!
Someone must know me, yes, I am the shopkeeper of Xiangmanyuan.
Come and see, everyone, today we have free tasting and free sampling of the newly launched dishes in Xiangmanyuan.
Braised carp, sweet and sour silver carp, pickled fish, boiled fish, steamed fish, pan-fried fish, there is no fish you can’t think of, there is no fish you can’t eat.
There is also delicious fish ball soup. Does your mouth water when you smell the smell?"
Su Li is fair, articulate, and has a sweet mouth.
Soon the entrance to the fragrant garden was surrounded by three floors inside and three outside. The bustling atmosphere attracted Uncle Chen and Chen Erlang to stand at the door of the shop and look around, envious of the booming business.
Li Hai and Ergou arranged for everyone to eat fish meat and serve fish ball soup for everyone to drink. After tasting it, many people began to ask:
"What kind of fish is used to make this pickled fish? It tastes fresh and delicious."
"I like boiled fish, where can I buy this fish?"
“The taste of this fish ball soup is so delicious, I still want to drink it after drinking it.”
Su Li answered everyone's questions with a smile: "These fish are all made from Su's fresh fish. Their fish is fresh and plump, and the fish balls are even more exquisite and delicious."
"Today is the first day of business. The quantity is limited. If you want to eat, go and try it. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so buying more fish is a good sign."
Many people who have tasted fish meat and fish balls have bought Su's Fresh Food.
Someone hesitated after asking about the price: "Ms. Su, your fish is more expensive than in the market. Can't it be cheaper?"
All eyes were focused on Su Yue.
Chen Erlang whispered: "Brothers and sisters, how about we make the same money as in the market?"
Su Yue shook her head, "Everyone has tasted it just now. My fish is carefully raised and tastes definitely fresher than the ones sold in the market.
My shop is responsible for slaughtering and cleaning, and everyone can cook it when they go home.
Today is the first day of opening, so I can give you some discounts."
When everyone heard that there was a discount, their eyes lit up.
Su Yue pointed to the paper posted on the door and motioned for everyone to look at it.
It says: New store opening discount, if you buy two or more fish, you will get a pack of dried fish for free, if you buy five fish or more, you will get half a catty of fish balls for free.
You can also top up money to become a member. Those who top up one tael of silver at a time will get a 10% discount on fish purchases, and those who top up with 5 taels of silver will get a 20% discount on fish purchases.”
It was the first time I heard that people selling fish and meat also had memberships. Many people thought it was new, so they thought about it and decided that top-up was the most cost-effective.
"I'll give you five taels of silver." Someone shouted loudly, "I wish Mrs. Su a prosperous business."
It turned out to be shopkeeper Li.
"Thank you!" Su Yue nodded.
Some people started, and others followed immediately, while others hesitated and decided to buy two to try first.
So in less than half an hour, all the prepared fish balls, fish meat cubes and live fish were sold out, and not even much smoked fish was left.
Chen Erlang and Uncle Chen looked at each other.
Chen Erlang murmured: "It turns out that doing business can still be like this."
Su Li was lying on the table watching Su Yue's accounting, with bright eyes, "Sister, how much money did you earn this morning?"
Su Yue completed the last transaction and threw the account book over, "See for yourself."
Su Li glanced at it and then exclaimed: "Three taels of silver! You earned three taels of silver in one morning?"
Chen Erlang and Uncle Chen were so shocked that they almost sat down on the ground.
They go out to groom pigs every day, but they may not be able to save three taels of silver in a year.
This morning, Su Yue earned three taels?
The father and son looked at each other, jumped up in unison, hitched the bullock cart and headed straight for Xiaojiacun.
It was just noon, and they had to quickly go back to Xiaojia Village to bring in some more fish and sell them in the afternoon. Making money was the most important thing.
Su Yue did not stop them, and saw Su Li staring at the money box with eyes shining and his lips slightly raised.
"This is all due to your hard work in performing, the little shopkeeper of Xiangmanyuan."
Su Li chuckled. He was responsible for collecting money in Xiangmanyuan. Xiangmanyuan had 40% of his sister's sales, so he always called himself the little shopkeeper.
"Sister, you are very good at drawing this account book. You can draw one for me too, for the sake of my hard performance this morning."
He stared at the account book and turned it over and over again. The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.
Su Yue took out a piece of paper from the cabinet, lowered her head and drew a new accounting form suitable for Xiangmanyuan.
Su Li exclaimed repeatedly, "Sister, your brain is really... Tsk, tsk, no wonder you can win over my brother-in-law and make my brother-in-law obey your words."
Su Yue frowned, "Did you know that you could see him obeying my words?"
Su Li came over and said, "My brother-in-law is lame in one leg and he is willing to take the scholar examination. It must be you who persuaded him. Doesn't this count as obeying his advice?"
"I see that my brother-in-law's face is glowing recently, and he is physically disabled but strong-willed. You must be too harmonious lately."
"Sister, please take it easy. I still want to rely on my brother-in-law for the rest of my life."
Su Yue was puzzled, "What does this have to do with you?"
Su Li said confidently, "I will not be able to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in this life, but I am determined to be the brother-in-law of a high-ranking official."
Su Yue chuckled, "The ambition is very lofty, are you afraid that I will squeeze him dry?"
"Ahem..." A violent dry cough sounded from behind.
