Qiaohui came in from the backyard with a basin of clothes, "Cousin, does Brother Li Wu ask you for flour and sugar?"
"Yes, you ask him to send it to the Chengnan Market two days later." Lin Lan thought for a moment and then said, "Ask Hou Gui to send us more milk powder, yeast, raisins and other ingredients."
When she was preparing to open the business, she would make a few more varieties of cakes and put them on the counter, so that the counter would not look unsightly when it was empty.
Qiaohui nodded and went out with the basin.
Lin Lan looked around and didn't see Wu Shufen and his wife, so she asked strangely: "Where have my mother and the others gone?"
Lin Yuezhen gestured and told her that Wu Shufen and her family went to Yang Liying's house to ask for pickled sauerkraut.
"Lin Lan, is Lin Lan at home?" At this time, Li Guizhi's voice sounded from the door of the courtyard.
"Here," Lin Lan responded with a loud voice and walked out.
Li Guizhi walked in with an earthy white bowl and a smile on her face: "My mother made sesame candy and brought some to me for you to try."
"Thank you!" Lin Lan saw the milky white sugar cubes in her bowl, covered with fried corn flour, picked it up and took a bite. The sugar juice slowly melted between her lips and teeth, making it crispy and sweet. She smiled and said, "It's fragrant and sweet.
, Sister Li, your mother’s craftsmanship is really good.”
Li Guizhi was very happy to see that she liked it: "It wasn't my mother who made it, it was my old man who came to my house from Jinkou River. People there know how to make sesame candy. My old man made a plan a few days ago.
Take it and sell it.”
Lin Lan suddenly remembered that she needed maltose to make saqima, and said to Li Guizhi: "I need maltose to make cakes, and the quantity required is a bit large. The wholesale price is cheaper than the retail price. If you don't mind the price, you can send it to me.
"
After hearing this, Guizhi nodded happily: "Yes, why don't you want to? Maltose is much easier than sesame sugar. It can be delivered as soon as it is boiled. The maltose made by my old man is boiled with red potato and malt. It is sweeter and waxier than corn.
.”
Sesame seeds and peanuts are added to the sesame candy, which is not only labor-intensive to make, but also more expensive. After the syrup is boiled and allowed to dry, it needs to be heated and pulled, which requires two strong laborers to continuously stir and pull, and pull at all times.
The sesame candy produced in this way is white in color and has a more solid texture.
Lin Lan told Hou Gui the price of the maltose she bought: "Sister Li, go back and talk to your parents. If they think the price is acceptable, they can deliver it to me before the end of the month."
"Okay," Li Guizhi agreed, then hesitated and asked Lin Lan, "Xiao Lin, my older sister graduated from junior high school but did not pass the technical secondary school entrance examination. I heard that your shop is recruiting workers, are you still recruiting?"
Lin Lan thought for a moment and said, "Sister Li, the shop is full. I think it would be a pity for your Pingping to go work after graduating from junior high school."
"I think you can open an agency store at home and let her run the store while she finds some accounting books to study at home. Then she can take the accounting certificate exam in the future. In the long run, it will be better than working at my place."
She doesn't want to recruit people from her team to work in her shop, because the more familiar people are, the easier it is to be compared. The most important thing is that the business in the shop is easy to make people jealous.
Li Guizhi was moved after hearing this: "Can we also open a consignment store?"
"Okay!" Lin Lan pointed to the side of the courtyard wall next to the tillage road, "You can open a door on the side of the tillage road, build a room, and add some melon seeds, peanuts, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and wine.
There are poker cards... come back and sell them."
Li Guizhi was worried when she heard about the purchase: "Xiao Lin, where do I need to purchase these things to sell them? Is the cost high?"
Lin Lan shook his head: "I really don't know how much it costs to open a consignment store. I think otherwise, you should go back and discuss it with Brother Zhang and Pingping first. If you decide, I will introduce wholesalers to you."
She was just making a suggestion, and it was up to Li Guizhi and his wife whether to do it or not.
Li Guizhi stood up: "Thank you Xiao Lin, I will go back to discuss it with them."
Seeing her hurried back, Zhang Rongqing stepped forward and asked, "What did Xiaolin say?"
"Xiao Lin said..." Li Guizhi told him what Lin Lan said again, looked at him and asked: "Do you think it is possible to open a consignment store?"
Zhang Rongqing lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I can't make up my mind. I think Xiaolin said that Pingping should learn accounting. I can talk to Pingping."
Li Guizhi looked at him worriedly: "Do you think our Pingping can learn accounting?"
Zhang Rongqing stared: "Why not? Jin Accounting's culture is not as high as ours."
Li Guizhi rolled her eyes at him: "I heard that Accountant Jin's old man is the old accountant. He learned to be an accountant from his old man. You and I are idiots who don't understand anything unless we find someone to teach Pingping."
.”
Zhang Rongqing stood up, rubbed the beard on his chin, walked around the room a few times, and said to Li Guizhi: "My old man has a good relationship with Accountant Jin. I'm going to ask him for help. Is there a future for studying accounting? If so, let's
Think of something else."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Guizhi grabbed him and asked, "What do you think about opening a consignment store?"
Zhang Rongqing frowned and said: "We don't understand how to open a consignment store. Look at the consignment stores in the brigade. They have tobacco and alcohol. You don't know how much money our family has. Is it enough to open a consignment store?"
After hearing this, Li Guizhi also felt worried: "What should we do?"
Zhang Rongqing thought for a moment: "How about we ask Xiao Lin to teach us how to sell fried potatoes? What do you think?"
That day he passed by the place where Yang Meihua set up a stall. The two small square tables were full of customers eating fried potatoes. To fry potatoes, you only need to buy a stove and find someone to buy some coal.
To open an agency store, you also need to build walls and build a house, and the front of the house will definitely not be enough.
"That's not good!" Li Guizhi looked at Zhang Rongqing, "We also sell fried potatoes, and Yang Meihua will be unhappy."
Zhang Rongqing rolled his eyes at her: "You are an idiot! The East Market is so big, and Yang Meihua is setting up a stall in the south of the city. We can go to Dongzikou and set up at the Chengxi Glass Factory!"
"The main thing is that Xiao Lin, Yang Meihua's family is related to her. If we don't have any relationship with her, we don't know if they are willing to teach us how to make money?"
Li Guizhi lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Zhang Rongqing: "When you come back, I will go to Xiao Lin and tell her that we will pay tuition to learn fried potato from her, and we will also buy the seasoning for fried potato from her in the future."
"Well! You should think about it carefully at home. I'll go to the old man's place first." Zhang Rongqing said and walked towards the courtyard gate.
After Li Guizhi left, Lin Lan went back to the house and listed the quantities of flour, milk powder and other ingredients that needed to be bought in her notebook, put them in the small bag for change at the stall, went to the woodshed to pick up a basket of old pumpkins, and carried it to the kitchen.
She has been busy with the shop these days, and she has forgotten that the eucalyptus forest will not be able to set up stalls in a few days, and she has to start preparing for the pastry shop.
