At the city gate, she dropped off the boy from the building materials shop and sent the oxcart. Qiao Mingjin pulled Mingheng and hurried toward the city.
Mingheng didn't know why. Seeing his sister's anxious face, he just followed her stride without asking.
"Boss, how do you sell these steamed buns, how do you sell steamed buns? How do you sell this soy milk?" Qiao Mingjin pulled Mingheng and stood in front of a steamed bun shop.
Mingheng glanced at his sister: Are you hungry? There are still two pancakes in the bag.
"The steamed buns cost two cents each, the steamed buns cost one cent each, and the soy milk costs one cent a bowl." The chubby bun shop owner looked at him with a kind face.
Qiao Mingjin lowered his head and calculated, and said, "I bought more, can the boss consider it cheaper?"
The boss saw that it was almost noon, and his stall was doing early morning business. He also did more business today and had more leftovers than usual.
Then he said: "I only have two or three drawers left. If you want to wrap it up, I will give it to you at a cheaper price."
As the boss spoke, he counted the steamed buns in the basket, and then looked at the soy milk in the barrel before saying, "I have two drawers with eighty steamed buns, and one drawer with thirty-six steamed buns.
You can still make about thirty bowls of this soymilk, all of which will cost you one hundred and sixty cents."
Qiao Mingjin quickly calculated in her mind that she had sixty-five cents from selling firewood today, and the remaining forty-eight cents from yesterday. After paying two cents for the city fee, she still had a total of one hundred and eleven cents.
Qiao Mingjin spread all the copper coins wrapped in the bag in front of the boss, looked at him and said: "I only have one hundred and eleven coins now, and they are all here. If the boss is willing, take it and give me the rest of your things."
.To express my gratitude, I will tell you a way to make money later. I guarantee that you will earn twice as much every day as you do now."
The boss was a little moved. He looked at Qiao Mingjin and said, "What is the method?"
"I can't tell you yet. But don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who boasts casually."
The boss looked her up and down. She was a legitimate little lady, and she didn't look like a bad person.
After thinking about it, there is indeed a lot left today. It is almost noon. One hundred and ten cents, although it is not profitable, the cost has been recovered. If this can be exchanged for twice as much every day
Income is nothing.
Then he nodded.
Qiao Mingjin let Mingheng watch him put the gauze on the buns, while she walked aside.
Most of the shops on this street sell breakfast, some have closed their stalls, and some are still selling them.
Qiao Mingjin saw that there was a porridge shop with half a bucket of clear porridge, and asked: "How do you sell this porridge, boss?"
The boss was very happy when he saw the business coming to his door: "One penny, one bowl, and pickles as a gift!"
Qiao Mingjin probed the barrel with his hand, and there was still some heat. It was still half a barrel.
"If I want them all, what's the price?"
"Give me twenty coins."
"Is it worth ten cents? Lend me this bucket too, and I will tell you a way to make money later. I'm sure you can sell more in the future than you do now."
The boss glanced at Qiao Mingjin, and Qiao Mingjin said to him: "Did you see that bun shop? I rounded his steamed buns. His family couldn't eat this way, and I won't be able to prevent it even if I tell you. It's from the back street.
Yu Ji and Boss Ding from the building materials store are all my customers, I won’t lie to you."
For ten cents, Qiao Mingjin pulled both of them out as guarantee.
The boss glanced at Qiao Mingjin again, then leaned over to look at the bun shop. Mingheng was almost ready.
The boss thought for a while and agreed. He also knew about Yu Ji and Ding Ji's building materials store. They were both doing business in the city and had some dealings with them.
Qiao Mingjin turned around and went to Mingheng to ask for the ten cents paid to him by the boy at the building materials store.
The owner of the bun shop was kind enough to lend them a wheelbarrow, so Qiao Mingjin borrowed a clean wooden bucket from him and put all the buns in it. He also borrowed a dozen clean bowls from each of them.
After thinking about it, he said to the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop and the owner of the porridge shop: "Do you two have any partners? You can go with me, and you won't have to worry about me running away."
The two people were really worried that Qiao Mingjin was tricking them, so they didn't show any pretense and each asked a boy to follow them.
The two siblings took the two boys to lift all the things on the cart onto the ox cart, put the wheelbarrow on it, and then drove the ox cart toward the other courtyard.
When I got there, work hadn't finished yet.
Qiao Mingjin parked the oxcart in an open space and shouted at the top of his lungs: "There are warm steamed buns, clear porridge and soybean milk. If you buy steamed buns, you will get clear porridge and soybean milk..."
Mingheng looked at his sister in surprise. His sister seemed a little different.
The two young guys also looked at her. I didn't expect that this little lady, Didi, would be so open-minded.
The two young guys looked at each other. It turned out that they were here to do business. Why didn't they think of it?
After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a foreman came over first. He glanced at Qiao Mingjin and realized that it had been almost half a month since the work started, and he was the first person to come here to do business.
He looked at the bullock cart again. Qiao Mingjin quickly gave him a bun, and then motioned to Mingheng to scoop him a bowl of soy milk.
Then he said to him: "Manager, I'd like to treat you to something. These buns are from Linji Bun Shop in the city. That shop has been open for many years and they are delicious."
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Ji's clerk. He was also a smart boy, so he pulled up his bun shop in front of the manager...
The boy next to him was no worse than him. Not to be outdone, he quickly scooped up a bowl of porridge and said, "Man in charge, have a look at this porridge. We are right next to Lin Ji. We sell porridge and fried dough sticks and pancakes."
I have been selling it for many years, and the porridge is now soft and glutinous."
The steward finished a steamed bun with soy milk, then took the bowl of porridge and started drinking it. He just poured it into his mouth without using a spoon.
After finishing the meal, he handed the bowl over, said, "Not bad," and walked away.
The four people looked at each other and left?
Just as Qiao Mingjin was about to catch up, the man opened his voice and said: "It's time to get off work, it's time to get off work! For those who didn't bring any dry food, there are buns and steamed buns for sale here."
Qiao Mingjin was overjoyed.
He hurriedly assigned the two boys to them: "Five cents to eat. Two steamed buns for five cents, half a bowl of soy milk or half a bowl of porridge, three steamed buns for five cents, a bowl of soy milk or one bowl for free."
Clear porridge.”
After a while, many people gathered in front of the bullock cart.
"It's been half a month since construction started, and no one has come up with anything to sell."
"Aren't steamed buns two cents a piece? You can buy five or six steamed buns for five cents. Madam, are you selling them too expensively?"
Qiao Mingjin smiled and said: "I also sent soy milk and porridge. And they were delivered so far away. If you come back tomorrow, it will be cheaper. I didn't prepare much today, and I don't know if anyone will buy them."
He smiled coquettishly at them.
Those people heard that this is not easy for a little lady.
Don't worry about it, it's not much different anyway. And many people brought dry food early in the morning, and they were all exhausted by now.
They can eat enough for five cents, and they still have forty or fifty cents of wages at the end of the day. The other hospital doesn't care about food, and they are given an extra five cents for food every day.
Soon someone came up and bought it with five cents.
Qiao Mingjin happily asked Mingheng and two guys to help pick up the things...
There were not many things, half a barrel of soy milk, half a barrel of porridge, eighty steamed buns and thirty-six steamed buns. They were all sold out in a short time. People who came late did not buy any and were still complaining.
The two boys were both human beings, so they said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely prepare more tomorrow, and there will be more varieties. If you keep five cents, you will be full."
Qiao Mingjin thought for a while and asked the two boys to ask them what they wanted to eat so that they could prepare for tomorrow.
Those two were both human beings, so they quickly got into the crowd and started asking questions.
After a while, some people came up and said that some people wanted to eat noodles, pancakes, buns, and steamed buns, and others wanted to eat rice and stir-fried vegetables.
Those who want to eat rice and stir-fry vegetables must be people like the manager, and there will be no shortage of foremans here.
The four of them pulled three empty buckets and headed to the city gate. Qiao Mingjin didn't want to go into the city anymore. She could only do this business for today. If she sold it well to the two shops, it would be a good relationship.
Then he said to the two young men: "This is the solution I want to give to your boss. This courtyard must be under construction for several months. You can come early and sell two meals during lunch, and you can eat for five cents."
They are still willing. For cooking, you can also prepare it. Just boil a barrel of rice, stir-fry a vegetable or a meat dish at will, and add a clear soup. You can eat it for five cents, which is a lot more than making steamed buns."
The two boys' eyes lit up after hearing this, they thanked Qiao Mingjin, then took the empty bucket and pushed the wheelbarrow into the city.
Qiao Mingjin watched their background disappear before pulling the cow home.
"Sister, why did you tell them that we can't sell it ourselves?"
"No. The two of them won't be able to make much money for a long time, and many people will follow suit. Our family is too far away to do this business. It was only by chance that we had such an opportunity today."
After saying that, he took the copper plates wrapped in the bag and started counting them.
