On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Yan family sisters and the Qi family sisters came to the designated place early to set up the stall.
This place is still some distance away from the market in the south of the city, and the more you go in, the more lively it becomes.
It was also their first time selling New Year's goods and they had no experience. The good location there had been reserved long ago. This was the place where Yan Laoer came forward to get close to the government officials who supervised the place.
The advantage is that the stall fee can be a few cents cheaper.
Yan Yu was very satisfied. There were many people selling Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" around. The few scholars who stretched their heads to look at this side looked familiar. They even wrote a few words on top of the picture she hung up as a sign.
Woolen cloth!
There is competition, but there are benefits to being together.
Yan Laoer helped several girls put up the shelf.
The colorful latte art is tightly wrapped, hanging in the middle and hanging down on both sides. Once the big red paper "Hundred Fortune" characters are hung, their Spring Festival couplet stall is the most beautiful thing on this street!
That's right, Yan Laoer is here too!
The carriage is turned around, and the maltose can be sold directly.
He didn't want to come.
I have been boiling sugar for several days, and I am very tired.
He said that he would just set up a stall in front of his own shop to sell it. In the past few days, he learned that Dr. An was holding a consultation at Yan's shop. Not only did he have a lot of customers, but there were also people nearby who had headaches and fever.
It's not that Dr. An is famous, but that he doesn't charge for medical treatment during this period.
In Dr. An's words, he has already collected the Yan family's medical fees. During this time, he should be at ease helping Li Xuemei raise her baby instead of using the Yan family's place to make a profit.
He collected a portion of the medicine fee himself, but the money for the medical consultation was something he could not ask for.
Yan Laoer just followed him.
People who caught the medicine learned that the Yan family shop sold maltose, so they were almost always empty-handed and had to weigh some.
One of them is that the bitterness of the medicine is suppressed by the sweetness. The other is the Chinese New Year. Who doesn’t buy some snacks for their children?
Occasionally, Yan Yu was mixing sugar syrup and looking at the shop in front. She was spotted by a child who was coming to see a doctor. She kept staring at her eagerly. She saw that the child's face was red with fever, and he was so weak that he neither cried nor made a fuss.
Feeling sorry for him, he gave him the candy in his hand.
From then on, the market for sugar syrup was opened!
Yan Laoer was forced to launch a new product, not only selling finished maltose, but also stirring syrup for children who kept coming to the door...
There are quite a few stall owners in front of some campuses!
Yan Yu enjoys watching it every time.
The maltose sold well at his doorstep. Yan Laoer didn't want to bother with it. Unfortunately, he didn't make it clear when he asked someone to set up a stall. They didn't know what he wanted to sell at the stall, so they reserved a large space. Yan Yu and the others didn't have much.
If you don't fill it up enough, the empty space will be wasted if it is not used.
Yan Yu kept encouraging her father to come over and sell candy.
Just then, Mr. Cui and Mrs. Cui brought Da Gou Zi and Cou Zi into the city.
When Dr. Cui saw that Yan's shop had become a temporary medical clinic, Dr. An Xiao was very kind. After a very complicated mental journey, he had the courage to ask about the medical problem in his heart, and Dr. An Xiao gave him advice casually...
…
Leave without saying anything!
Dr. Cui stayed at Yan's house that night and took up his post the next day as Dr. An's personal medicine boy.
Mrs. Cui simply stayed there.
The big dog and the little dog let her run around and did all the work that the Yan family had and didn't have. She couldn't sit still. Seeing that Yan Lao Er was busy, she volunteered to help him look after the shop so that he could concentrate on his work.
maltose.
After only half a day, Mrs. Cui got started, especially the glutinous rice syrup, which was stirred quickly, well and loudly. The children who came to buy the glutinous rice syrup quickly fell in love with her, preferring this aunt with a loud voice...
Yan Laoer... had no place to stay, so he had no choice but to go out and set up a stall with his daughter.
Yan's maltose sells very well.
It's very very good!
Thanks to Yan Yu’s tireless and unyielding stretching.
The milky white maltose exudes a soft and even beauty.
Every line is as smooth as art.
The customers who were attracted by the Momofuku characters and latte art decided to place an order - maltose.
Yan Laoer opened here one after another.
But Yan Yu still had many people watching, but no one bought it.
Yan Qianchu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
She quietly pulled her sister's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Er, why don't they just want to buy it?"
"It's too early, no one has come up yet, please wait." Yan Yu said.
People who come to the market early in the morning are all ordinary people. When they put a red sticker on their door during the New Year, they have to calculate how much money they can save.
We all know that spring couplets with the word "Fu" are expensive if you buy them first, and then wait until the 30th day to buy them, and you may not get a high price.
However, rural families who go to the city to buy New Year's goods do not deliberately wait like this. They rush to buy all the New Year's goods they need in one day.
Therefore, Yan Yu stepped forward to sell after seeing the target customer.
Say a few pleasant New Year greetings, words of blessing, spring couplets, window grilles... If you add up a few things and give them a fraction, the deal is done!
Seeing the waiter's side open, the two sisters Yan Qianchu and the Qi family breathed a sigh of relief.
They were selling these things every door in the neighborhood, and they were really worried that they wouldn't be able to sell them.
"Look, it's open now!" Yan Yu showed them the copper plate with a smile.
Yan Laoer, like Yan Yu, felt at ease, he was just getting there now, and when people flowed up, it was time for him to exert his strength.
…
The sun is gradually rising.
The number of people on the street suddenly increased.
Where there are crowds of people is where the Yan family's stall is.
Yan Laoer shouted with a loud voice: "Here you are, two pounds, the scale is high! I wish you a new year as sweet as honey, good luck and success!"
"I'll give you a pound!"
"Weigh it for me, too!"
…
Yan Yu's voice was clear: "Auntie, your son will take the county exam next year? Then I have to choose a promising one for you. This is the picture: A good scholar, a talented person, a hard worker, and a good professional. He must be successful. Horizontal comment: Successful in studies.
!”
The aunt said happily: "Okay! Okay! That's it!"
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you. The door sticker is full of blessings. Good luck will come. Auntie, please post the word "Fu" again... big or small? It depends on the door of your house. A small house with good fortune and a big house with good fortune will be suitable! Pair it with a pair of magpies.
There are so many window decorations on the branches, I just have a few pairs... Now you are all alive, the coming year will be prosperous, people will be prosperous, wealth will be prosperous, and everything will be prosperous!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "My child, can you help me choose, which one is best for my home?"
"The one just now is in bloom, and the one with the pine tree, give me a picture too!"
Yan Qianchu blushed and asked loudly: "Is it true that 'spring fills the universe and brings auspicious cranes, and the flowers bloom beautifully and shine on the green pines'?"
"Yep!"
"You... are you going to say Zhang Fu again?" Yan Qianchu mustered up the courage to ask again.
"Here comes one, a big one with the word "大福" in it!"
The business was done, and Yan Qianchu was very encouraged.
She can occasionally sell some, but the main force is still Yan Yu.
The Qi sisters were too busy to stop.
The couplets that were just hung up were taken down and wrapped up for others in a short while.
People kept asking them if they could sell the Momofuku character they used as a sign, and some asked about the flower arrangements...
The two sisters have never talked so much as they did today, and they are constantly explaining and asking questions.
At first they were very reserved and their voices were low, but later they really couldn't tolerate being quiet at all. They had to shout so that each other could hear what the other said clearly.
Yan Laoer and Yan Yu had a series of auspicious words.
In fact, there are only a few words that I have been saying over and over again. I am so busy and confused now, who can pay attention to whether what I said is repeated, as long as the person who is talking to me has not heard it.
The scholars at a nearby stall looked at the Spring Festival couplet stall that was selling like hotcakes in surprise.
They all sell the same thing.
Why can people sell with such momentum?
Can Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" still sell like this?
It can only be said that Yan Laoer wins because he is more educated than other maltose vendors.
But Yan Yu is more sweet-tongued and thick-skinned than other scholars.
Yan Laoer first sold out all the maltose he brought.
Yan Yu's Spring Festival couplets are also sold out. They still have the word "Fu", but the poor window grilles have long since disappeared.
Yan Yu hurriedly closed the stall and kept telling people: "You really can't sell the word "Hundred Fortune". These "hundred blessing" characters are different. They are our family's signature. We will come again tomorrow!"
"Narahua... Seeing that you are sincere, I can sell it to you, but the price can't be lower... In fact, if you can wait and come back tomorrow, I will leave you a new set. This set has passed.
I'm afraid of breaking it if I take it off... Zhongzhong, I will definitely leave one set for you. You live in Laohuai Lane in the south of the city, the second one in the east, right? If it's not convenient to come, I can send it to your home... Haha, you
The charcoal we are using now is a gift from our family. You are a big customer of our Yan family shop. No one can forget you! Thank you for always taking care of our business. There is no need to buy this blessing. We will go to your store tomorrow.
Sending blessings to our regular patrons..."
…
Yan Yu drank water gurglingly.
Yan Laoer looked back at her.
"Okay, my daughter is good at this business. She sends blessing words to her regular customers' homes. Is that what you want now?"
"I can't hide it from anyone, but my father can't!" Yan Yu laughed and said, "It's not that good. I'm just afraid of missing out. I want to know where his home is and send him home. I'll do that for him.
The price was not low. He didn't even bargain, so he just wanted to give him a blessing... That's it. Since he is a regular customer and has always taken care of our business, how could I not say anything? I said it and gave it to him.
I’ll give one as a gift, and if I can’t afford to give them all away, I’ll give them away!”
Yan Yu added: "I originally planned to send some small gifts from house to house during the Chinese New Year. We sell a lot of charcoal in bulk and it is not always cheap. We deliver it to your door and give you thoughtful little gifts. I can't keep the price down, but
It can bring blessings, I had a flash of inspiration, hahaha!"
"You're going to blind those people!" Yan Laoer said with a smile: "We're leaving now. I looked at those scholars and almost clapped my hands to see us off."
Her eyes turned into slits when she smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "So I'm leaving now, so I can let them sell it too."
"Dad, what do you think I'll lay out the paper and start writing tomorrow? I don't have much left at home. Looking at this situation, it won't be enough to sell!" Yan Yu said, mentally calculating the inventory at home.
Yan Laoer: "I don't have any more hands. It's too cold! I'll sell as much as I can. They'll be sold out early. I don't think you should cut off your window grilles. It's too troublesome. If you have the time, why don't you cut more latte art?"
, people look at it as rare, so don’t make it so big and long, a smaller one will definitely sell better.”
