At this moment, the business of Xu Fu and a few other young guys has just opened, and not a single pancake has been sold.
After hearing Shen Yi's words, several little guys immediately started to get busy. The youngest girl quickly moved the batter pot to the table, then pushed Xu Fu and whispered: "Brother Xu, come on... "
This little girl has no last name. She is the youngest of six children. She is only seven or eight years old this year. Everyone calls her "little sister".
In fact, when Shen Yi taught them how to make pancakes, the little girl learned the fastest and the pancakes she made were the most beautiful. However, the little girl was thin-skinned. On her first day of business today, she only dared to hide behind five Behind my brother, I don’t even dare to risk my life.
Xu Fu was the eldest among the children, and he was also more responsible. He nodded when he heard this, scooped up a little batter with a shovel, and spread it on the iron plate.
The little guys have been practicing for several days. This thing is not difficult at all. Although Xu Fu is a little clumsy, he quickly spread out a pancake. He quickly spread the sauce on it, put the fried dough sticks on it, and then used a spatula to Cut the pancakes into two and put them in the paper bag that had been prepared aside.
Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction, then took the pancake and handed it to Miss Lu beside him.
"Junior sister, you eat first."
Miss Lu vaguely felt that Shen Yi had something to do with this food stall, but she still reached out and took the pancake. She was embarrassed to eat it in front of Shen Yi, so she turned around, opened her mouth and took a bite.
The pancakes were crispy just out of the pan, and the sauce inside made them even more fragrant. After taking one bite, Miss Lu took three or four more bites before looking back at Shen Yi.
“It’s quite delicious, and it’s something I’ve never seen before.”
Hearing Miss Lu's affirmation, the little guys became more motivated. Soon the other two pancakes were spread out. Shen Yi took one himself and handed the other to Miss Lian'er.
Xiao Lian'er was not as gentle as Miss Lu. After taking the pancake, she took a big bite.
The little girl came from a poor family. She was sold into a dental shop when she was five or six years old. Later she was bought by Lu Anshi and worked as a maid for Miss Lu. Although she and Miss Lu had no worries about food and clothing and had eaten fine grains over the years, she was still... She had never eaten these novel snacks before. After taking the first bite, Lian'er let out a satisfied "hmm", then took a big gulp and quickly ate the whole pancake.
Shen Yi took the pancake and didn't eat it. Instead, he took out the copper coins from his sleeve, put it on the stall, and said with a smile: "Five cents per pancake, right?"
There is a signboard next to the stall, which reads "Pancakes and fruit, five cents a piece". These eight words were written by Shen Yi personally, so Shen naturally knew the price.
Xu Fu shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, we don't want your money..."
"need."
Shen Yi counted fifteen dollars and placed it on the stall. Then he looked at Xu Fu and said, "When doing business, you must behave like a business, and you must collect what is due."
Having said this, he lowered his voice and whispered: "We will divide the accounts afterward."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked around and said: "Many people have come here now. People in Jiangdu are not short of money. It won't be long before people come to you to buy pancakes to try. You guys have sold out this basin of batter." After that, I went home to make two more basins of batter and sold them here in the evening."
The stalls at Yudai Lake Snack Street require money to use. The stall fee costs about one or two yuan a month, but Shen Yi can't figure out which unit or individual collects the fees.
Fortunately, Shen Yi knew Tian Boping, a local coward. He could not figure out things that Tian Boping knew well. It was Shen Yi who rented this stall through Tian Boping's connections for a month.
Having said this, Shen Yi looked back at the two little girls eating cakes behind him, then looked at Xu Fu again, and warned: "When you come back to sell it in the evening, someone will probably ask you how to make this. Don’t tell them that the clay pot where the batter is placed must also be covered with a piece of cloth so that no one can see it.”
Xu Fu was thinking carefully. Hearing this, he nodded quickly and said, "Sir, I have written it down."
"And then there's that."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "This thing is not complicated. I guess if you sell it for two or three days, others will learn from it. When you see others selling this thing, don't get angry with them."
"After four or five days, the price of five cents per cake will no longer be appropriate. It can be reduced to two or three cents per cake."
The cost of pancake fruit is very low. Shen Yi himself estimated that it should cost less than one penny. Now he sells it for five cents, purely as a novelty. When the streets are full of these things, they will not be sold for five cents. Already.
Two to three cents per piece of cake is the price it should have.
Xu Fu wrote them down one by one.
After Shen Yi paused, he continued: "This business of selling pancakes may be able to support the six of you, but it is not enough. You first exercise your courage in this night market, and then at night, learn how others shout business, and wait half a day Month by month, this business only needs one person to do it."
"For the remaining five people, I will find something for you to do."
"do you understand?"
Xu Fu nodded and took a deep breath: "Master, I have written it all down."
"Um…"
Shen Yi was about to continue talking when a slightly rough voice came from the side.
"Store, what are these... pancakes, how do you sell them?"
Shen Yi turned around and saw that a tall young man in his twenties had arrived at the stall to ask for the price.
This is not surprising.
Miss Lu is the flower of Ganquan Academy. She is beautiful and elegant. She is a first-class beauty. Such a beauty will naturally attract the attention of others when she comes here to eat cakes.
Seeing that there was business, Shen Yi stopped talking. He reached out and patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I will finish my studies in a few days before I come to the city." Looking for you."
Shen Yi is preparing for the county exam in the fall and is actively preparing for the exam. In fact, he is not the only one preparing for the exam. His teacher, Mr. Qin, and Chief Lu Shan will assign him strategies every few days. Sometimes I will also find some anthologies for him to memorize.
Mr. Lu's attitude towards Shen Yi is quite good. If the policy review is not good, it can only be said in a few sentences. However, Mr. Qin, Shen Yi's "teacher", is much stricter. The academic assignments he assigned to Shen Yi will be difficult if Shen Yi fails to do so in time. If you finish it, you will probably get slapped with a brick wall.
Hmm...palm board.
Xu Fu quickly lowered his head: "Sir, we understand."
After saying these words, Shen Yi lowered his head and took a big mouthful of pancakes, then looked back at the two little girls behind him.
At this moment, Miss Lu and Lian'er had finished eating the pancakes in their hands. Both the master and the servant were staring at Shen Yi, and there was something wrong in their eyes.
Miss Lu looked at Shen Yi, then at the pancake stall behind him, and asked: "Brother Shen, is this stall?"
"It's my business."
Shen Qi answered very bachelorly. He smiled and said: "It just opened today, so I brought my junior sister here to support it."
"Your business..."
Miss Lu turned her eyes, then looked at the stall, and whispered to Xu Fu who was spreading the cakes.
"Brother, spread out another piece of pie for me."
