"Being a store manager is a job for adults. You two are children. You can become store managers when you grow up."
Zhang Hao explained patiently.
"Dad, I am no longer a child, grandma said I am a big child."
Little Pudding felt unwilling.
Zhang Hao knocked his youngest son on the head: "Old children are children too, don't be naughty. When you grow up to be as tall as cousin Kevin, my father will pass on the throne of store manager to you."
"Oh, I want to drink more milk and grow taller soon." Little Pudding nodded seriously.
Big Pudding stretched out his hand and pulled the hem of his father's clothes:
"Dad, I also want to be a store manager."
Zhang Hao rubbed his temples, knowing that this would happen: "Okay, when the time comes, dad will open another branch, and you two will have one."
"Well, dad, let's hook up."
Big Pudding held out his little finger.
Zhang Hao bent down and extended his little finger in response: "Hang yourself with a hook, and it won't change for a hundred years."
Only then did Big Pudding reveal his smiling face.
"Dad, I want to pull the hook too."
Little Pudding then extended his little finger.
"La La La, can you do it now?"
Zhang Hao coaxed patiently.
"Well, dad is so kind!" Little Pudding was satisfied.
Zhang Hao clapped his hands several times and attracted everyone's attention: "Before opening, let's practice behind closed doors. Lao Fang, you two will act as customers so that they can familiarize themselves with the process."
"Yes, Director Zhang." Captain Fang smiled and nodded.
Zhang Hao first taught his sons step by step, and then arranged for Big Pudding to stand at the door of the store, while Little Pudding found a small stool and sat down obediently.
It's not time for him to play yet.
Zhang Hao nodded to Captain Fang and others, and then shouted: "Start!"
Captain Fang and others immediately walked in from outside the store.
Under his father's encouraging eyes, Big Pudding boldly stepped forward and said: "Welcome!"
"Little doll, what's your name?"
"Hello grandpa, my name is Big Pudding."
"Big Pudding, how much does your trap cost?" Captain Fang said straight to the point.
"Our traps cost two yuan each. If it's a child, it's half the price."
"Why is it so expensive?"
"Because our family can get good things."
Big Pudding answered according to what his father taught him.
Captain Fang pretended to be interested: "Oh? What good things do you have at home?"
Big Pudding immediately pointed to the corner and introduced: "We have cans at home. My father said that a can like this can be sold for at least two to three thousand yuan. If you can't buy it for two yuan, you will suffer a loss and you can't be fooled."
"What kind of can? How can it be sold for so much money?"
"It's canned pork."
"Have your cans expired?"
Big Pudding shook his head repeatedly: "No, no."
"Grandpa doesn't believe it, unless you can show him the can."
Captain Fang said in confusion.
Dad didn't teach this, so Big Pudding was a little at a loss, so he quickly looked at his dad.
Zhang Hao kept a straight face and did not give any hint.
Captain Fang further urged: "Big pudding, bring the can to grandpa quickly. Grandpa will pay for the ring after seeing it, so you can make money."
"Grandpa, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
Big Pudding is not used to saying no yet.
Seeing this, Little Pudding rushed over and took down the can, then handed it over to Captain Fang himself.
"How good!" Captain Fang chuckled, rushed out of the door with the can, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
The twins looked at each other, then looked at their father with confused expressions.
Zhang Hao called his sons to him and took the opportunity to educate them: "You two, remember, don't give things in the store to strangers, unless they are prizes that the customers got themselves."
"I know." The twins nodded.
Next, several people simulated it several times, and then officially announced the opening of business.
Zhang Hao put on a mask and put on a loudspeaker at the door. As soon as the dynamic music was played, a group of people gathered around him. Captain Fang and others were responsible for maintaining order at the scene.
"Boss, are you setting a trap?"
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "Two yuan per circle, half price for children under 1.2 meters tall."
"Why are they so expensive? Just these broken toys, two yuan a round? Why don't you go and grab them?"
“The price is too outrageous.”
The crowd was all talking.
Zhang Hao winked at his eldest son, and Big Pudding immediately recited the slogan loudly:
"Uncles, aunts, grandparents, we can buy canned pork in our store. You can't buy it for two yuan and suffer a loss. You can't be fooled."
"Canned pork? Where is it?"
An aunt asked impatiently.
Who doesn’t have a child? Now is the time when we need nutrition. No matter how hard it is, we can’t hurt our children.
Big Pudding pointed to the two corners: "The innermost ones are the one on the left and the one on the right."
"It's so far away, how can we get there?"
By visual inspection, it is at least eight or nine meters.
Big Pudding didn't know how to answer again.
Zhang Hao smiled and took over the words: "Auntie, everyone must know the current price of canned meat. If it were so easy to get it, I would have gone bankrupt."
"Are your cans expired?"
Generally, the shelf life of industrial food is only two years at most. It has been almost three years since the Yellowstone volcano erupted. No wonder everyone has this question.
"No, our cans are authentic doomsday cans, with a shelf life of several decades."
This question cannot be difficult for Big Pudding.
"Two dollars is too expensive, can it be cheaper?" the aunt bargained.
Big Pudding waved his hands repeatedly: "No."
A young woman couldn't help but interjected: "Boss, today is the first day of your store's opening. Don't you have any promotions? Can you give it a half discount?"
Zhang Hao walked quickly to his eldest son:
"Okay, half price today, just for this one day."
The young woman waved her hand on the spot: "Give me twenty circles first."
Zhang Hao pushed his eldest son: "Big Pudding, don't just stand there stupidly, hurry up and get the ring."
"Oh!" Big Pudding quickly brought twenty hoops, "Auntie, here are the hoops for you."
Immediately afterwards, the little guy took two ten-dollar bills from the beautiful aunt's hand.
The young woman stretched out her hand and pinched Big Pudding's cheek: "Children, aunt is your first guest. Can you give aunt two more ferrules?"
Big Pudding looked up at his father, and Zhang Hao nodded gently.
Big Pudding immediately added two more rings to the beautiful aunt.
It's a pity that I wasn't very lucky, and in the end I didn't get anything, so I gained nothing.
The young woman was probably completely disappointed with her skills and luck, so she asked directly:
"Boss, do you want to buy canned food at your house?"
Zhang Hao shook his head: "I'm sorry, I got these cans with great difficulty. They are just sets and not for sale."
"I'll pay a high price."
The young woman was a little reluctant.
"Ahem, that's really not possible."
The young woman saw that Zhang Hao was not getting enough, so she put her hope in the big pudding: "Child, can you help your aunt persuade your dad? My aunt has a little sister who is only five years old this year and hasn't eaten it for half a year.
It’s meat.”
"Ah? My sister is so pitiful!"
The big pudding fell in immediately.
Zhang Hao calmly pulled his eldest son behind him: "Girl, it's not that I'm not accommodating. With so many people watching, I can't just sell it to you, right?"
"Yeah, you can't be too selfish as a person."
The aunt just now quickly agreed.
The young woman suddenly lost her mind and took out all the change in her wallet angrily:
"Give me a hundred, and I won't believe it."
Zhang Hao took the money with a smile on his face, and then ordered to his sons: "Big pudding, little pudding, you two hurry up and help aunt get the ring, don't count wrong."
The twins were very obedient and immediately went to get the noose.
"Boss, can you move the can forward a little bit?" the young woman asked unwillingly.
Zhang Hao thought for a while, and for the sake of the other party's daughter, he nodded and agreed, then walked over in person and moved one of the cans to the middle, which greatly reduced the difficulty.
"thank you boss!"
The young woman was overjoyed and couldn't wait to set up a trap. A can was in short supply. As long as she caught one, it would be a tenfold profit.
When other customers saw that they could take advantage of them, they were immediately excited and shouted:
"Boss, give me ten hoops."
"I want twenty."
"Give it to me first, I want a hundred too."
Zhang Hao quickly reassured: "Don't worry, everyone, come one by one, and wait until the lady is done getting the ring."
"Boss, how long will it take to wait?"
Someone complained.
"I can't help it. As you can see, there are only three of us, father and son, in the store. If there are more people, it will be too busy." Zhang Hao explained casually.
His purpose is not to make money.
Five minutes later, amidst the cheering sounds of the twins, the young woman finally caught a can and excitedly threw all the traps in her hand.
Big Pudding quickly picked up the can and handed it into the hands of the beautiful aunt: "Auntie, this is your prize."
"Thank you, kid."
The young woman hugged the big pudding and then kissed the little guy hard on the face.
Big Pudding ran back to his father with a red face.
Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing and scolding:
"You brat, you still know how to be shy."
Seeing the young woman trapped in the can, the crowd immediately went crazy, shouting to trap her.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao was afraid that the crowd would lose control, so he quickly moved the cans back to their original positions.
"Boss, what do you mean? You can't afford it?"
"No, move back quickly."
Zhang Hao pressed his hands and then explained: "Don't get me wrong, this girl is the first customer in our store, so she gets preferential treatment."
"It's not fair. If you want to do this, then we won't play anymore."
"Everyone, listen to me, this is something that you and I are willing to do. I am not forcing anyone to consume."
Zhang Hao shrugged and expressed his attitude.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately decreased by one-third, but there were still many people who stayed.
The second customer was a young man.
The young man was lucky. Although he didn't get the can, he got away with several toys. Overall, he didn't suffer a loss.
Big Pudding reluctantly handed the toy to the other party.
Soon, more than an hour passed, and more and more people gathered in the store. Everyone heard that cans can be set here, and they all ran over to watch the fun.
The twins were so busy that they were sweating profusely.
Captain Fang took the time to come to the big boss and reminded him softly: "Director Zhang, why don't you just come here today? It's going to be the rush hour soon, and there will be more people then, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
Zhang Hao glanced at his sons and nodded seriously: "That's fine! Then go back early!"
Captain Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted loudly: "It's closed, it's closed, let's all leave! Come and play again tomorrow!"
"Boss, it's not even eleven o'clock yet? Why are you in such a hurry to close the door?"
Zhang Hao hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, today is the first day of opening and I am not well prepared."
"Is it open in the afternoon?"
"Sorry, we usually open in the morning, from 9 to 11:30 in the morning." Zhang Hao replied.
"Are there any cans left tomorrow?"
This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, everyone, cans are the signature of our store and they will never be missing."
"Boss, do what you say!"
Big Pudding shouted: "Uncle, my father never lies."
"Okay, kids, see you tomorrow."
In less than five minutes, the crowd quickly dispersed.
Captain Fang closed the rolling door from the inside.
Zhang Hao collapsed on the ground. He had not exercised for more than three years, and his physical fitness had declined drastically. He had only been busy for an hour and a half, and his physical strength was no longer able to keep up.
The twins imitated their father's example, lying on the ground breathing heavily.
Zhang Hao took out his handkerchief and wiped his sons' sweat: "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Big Pudding shook his head stubbornly.
"Brother lied. I just saw that his legs were shaking." Little Pudding immediately revealed the truth about his eldest brother.
"I don't."
"Yes, I saw it."
Zhang Hao stopped the two little guys: "Stop arguing. It's normal to be tired. Dad is tired too, let alone you two little kids."
Captain Fang came over with three kettles: "Big pudding, little pudding, are you thirsty? Come and drink water."
"Thank you, Grandpa Fang."
The twins drank the warm watermelon juice greedily.
Although it's July now, the highest temperature during the day is only about 10 degrees, so I can't drink anything cold.
Zhang Hao took a sip of water and took the cash box over. The father and son began to tally up today's results.
Zhang Hao is responsible for counting the big bills, and Big Pudding and Little Pudding are responsible for counting the change.
"Dad, I've finished counting. The total is ninety-six yuan." Big Pudding was the first to finish counting.
Soon the little pudding was finished counting, and the two brothers added up to a total of one hundred and eighty-three yuan.
The figure on Zhang Hao's side is quite impressive, actually a little over six thousand yuan.
I never expected that trapping could be so profitable.
Of course, if you put aside the expenses, they didn't earn much, especially the two cans that were robbed, the cost alone was 5,000 yuan.
After counting the money, Zhang Hao took out two hundred-dollar bills from a pile of bills and handed them to his sons respectively:
"Take this, here is your salary today."
Little Pudding glanced at the money in his father's hand, pouted his lips and said dissatisfied: "Dad, we have made so much money, why are you only given one hundred yuan?"
