What's annoying is that the food you make yourself tastes bad. If you don't improve your craftsmanship, what's the use of setting up my stall?
Without me, there will be others selling them. You can't just pick them off every time, right? You're not afraid of being put in a sack?
What's pitiful is that he was originally a middle-aged young man. Suddenly something happened in his family, so he didn't escape. He knew that he could still be considered a filial son by working hard to earn money to treat his mother's illness.
Li Ke wanted to know how unpalatable his food was.
Coincidentally, Wang Gang also wanted to know how delicious the food Li Ke made could capture the taste buds of the female shoe factory workers.
"Ah, bah." Li Ke took a bite of tomato scrambled eggs and couldn't help but spit it out.
"Your scrambled eggs with tomatoes, why don't you peel the tomatoes? There are still broken egg shells in the eggs, and there seems to be a small piece of undissolved salt.
If you make something like this, it's weird that it can be sold." Li Ke said after a while.
"I gave it to them to taste, and they all said it was delicious." Xiaozi expressed dissatisfaction.
Li Ke didn't explain much, just took out his tasting plate and motioned for him to eat.
"Nutty, spicy, fresh and fragrant, how can this be so delicious?" Wang Gang took a bite and his eyes widened in surprise.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Li Ke didn't bother to pay attention to him. He went back to the cold skin stall and continued to eat the cold skin that he had just finished.
Wang Gang rushed to give away the Liangpi money, insisting on learning from his master and showing filial piety to him.
Li Ke finished eating slowly and coughed.
Huang Mao No. 3 ran to the uncle and bought a popsicle and handed it over.
"Sister, please teach him a lesson. He is also a poor person. His mother is bedridden, waiting for him to get money to buy medicine." Huang Mao No. 1 played the pity card.
Li Ke was sitting, with the three Xiao Huang Mao and Li Gang, slightly bent over, surrounding her, carefully laughing with her.
"Which one should I call sister? It's not clear who is older and who is younger." Li Ke glared at him.
"Sister, we call you sister. It has nothing to do with your age. It is an honorific and a reflection of your status. It mainly represents your status in the world." Huang Mao No. 2 carefully explained.
That's right, Li Ke instantly realized the joy of being the leader of a gangster.
"You just wanted to destroy my stall, and now you want me to teach you my skills. Do you think it's appropriate?" Li Ke said dissatisfied.
"Sister, it's my fault. I'm a rough person. I didn't go to school for two years. My father died early and my mother couldn't finish her work every day.
No one has ever taught me how to be a good person. I don’t know how to deal with things other than being aggressive and ruthless." Wang Gang apologized again to show weakness.
It has to be said that Wang Gang has a high emotional intelligence, and his words were very clever, which dispelled Li Ke's anger.
Seeing that Li Ke didn't say anything, Wang Gang quickly said, "Don't worry, I don't want you to teach for free. I will pay you as much as you want to teach."
Li Ke has made a decision.
"Cooking requires hard work and hard work, but also talent. I will teach you step by step, and the taste of what you cook will be different from what I cook.
The fact that you can make home-cooked tomatoes and scrambled eggs so unpalatable shows that you have no talent in cooking."
After Wang Gang heard this, the light in his eyes disappeared and his head lowered.
The three yellow hairs also looked anxious.
"But don't be discouraged. Poor craftsmanship doesn't mean you can't make money.
Do you think this will work? Let's cooperate. I'll do it and you'll sell it. After deducting the cost, the profit will be 50/50." Li Ke first suppressed and then increased.
"Okay, okay, sister, you don't have to be five or five, just four or six. I'm four and you're six. You have mastered the core skills and you should get more." Wang Gang looked excited.
"Okay, it's 50-50, but before I say anything ugly, let's test the waters for three days and treat it as a mutual inspection. If we are satisfied after three days, we can talk about long-term cooperation." Li Ke added.
"I listen to you, sister. Those little words you shout are very attractive. Can you teach me?" Wang Gang looked embarrassed.
"No problem." Li Ke thought to himself, should he give this guy some on-the-job training on how to match products, how to sell them, how to hawk them, how to attract customers, and how to deal with emergencies.
Forget it, let's serve as a technical consultant for two days and provide on-site guidance, and then see his performance on the third day to see if this person is suitable for cooperation.
After all, they met by chance, they didn't know each other, and they met in this way, so Li Ke was very worried about Wang Gang.
"You go and make preparations this afternoon. Buy a dark tablecloth to cover the trolley, six white plates and six glass covers for tasting and displaying samples, and buy a box of toothpicks." Li Ke
Explained.
"By the way, try to wear light-colored clothes, keep your body free of oil and dirt, and wash your oily hair.
You are the spokesperson of your product. Only if you yourself are clean and refreshing, customers will feel that your products are also clean and safe. Let’s do that for now. See you at the door of the shoe factory at ten o’clock tomorrow morning.” Li Ke added.
I roughly estimated how much the three Huangmaos would eat and calculated the money for them. They paid obediently and bowed before leaving.
Wang Gang just pushed the trolley home. Before leaving, he wanted to give the unsold meals to everyone. Everyone shook their heads in shock and said they were full.
After finally seeing off the three Huang Mao and his filial son Wang Gang, Li Ke estimated the time and decided that it was not worth running to the place where the child was born to rest anymore. He would just lean against a tree and take a nap.
What happened today was a wake-up call for Li Ke.
Li Ke took out a little of everything and packed it in plastic bags. He gave some to other nearby vendors to try, and packed some more to the young couple at the Liangpi Wonton stall. He thanked them for reminding them at noon today.
.
By the way, I asked them about the situation in the county. I heard from the young couple that their area is under the control of Brother Chao.
Brother Chao comes here on the second of every month to collect health management fees. The man who sells popsicles charges 15 yuan a month, and other stalls charge 50 yuan a month.
"Why is it fifteen yuan, uncle?" Li Ke asked curiously.
"Because the eldest brother is from the same village as Brother Chao. Brother Chao said that we should respect the old, love the young, and take care of the people in the same village." The eldest brother explained.
"He also said that it's not easy for him at such an old age, and he can't make much money selling popsicles, so he told us not to feel unbalanced." The eldest sister added.
"Why is it called health management fee? Are they responsible for cleaning? What does the management fee cover?" Li Ke still had questions.
"Irresponsible, the management is rubbish. It's actually just protection money. They were afraid of being caught by the police, so they gave it such a name."
This super guy is quite interesting, and the protection fee he charges is also interesting.
It's like keeping up with the payment every month. If you don't pay, your stall will be overturned, your customers will be driven away, and you will find trouble every day.
If you dare to call the police, ask other brothers to harass you 24 hours a day. After all, the police cannot protect you 24 hours a day.
Therefore, the small vendors have to swallow their anger and pay the protection fee every month. Fortunately, they only come here once a month, and it costs fifty yuan a month, which is still affordable.
After finding out more about it, Li Ke went back to the big tree and rested against it.
I will sell again in the afternoon, and come back for on-site guidance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for two days, and I will be freed from this busy day and night.
Wang Gang's best. If it doesn't work, find other partners.
In this way, she can only be a supplier in the future. She will deliver the goods once in the morning, then buy the raw materials, and make the stuff at home in the afternoon, so she doesn't have to be so tired every day.
It means that the profit is reduced by half, which is not acceptable.
It seems that regardless of whether Wang Gang passes the assessment or not, he must actively develop new partners.
