Chapter 922 Credit
Everyone agreed. Thinking about Zhou Guo's lack of money, they realized that although they couldn't help, they couldn't hold him back either.
Zhou Guo could only ask Erpang to buy some dry food for the journey, and packed some duck food and two baskets of fruit.
Li said hurriedly, "We don't need these things. Isn't our family eating enough every year? Nine hundred coins a pound, you should keep them and sell them. It will be enough to buy some duck."
Although ground raspberries are delicious, my family and I have eaten a lot of them over the years, so we are not that greedy.
Soon, Erpang and his friends came with a lot of things.
Steamed buns, meat patties, dim sum, roast chicken, braised beef…
Li looked at the roast chicken and said, "Why buy this? This roast duck and roast chicken are just one of them. It's a waste of money."
Erpang was speechless.
Zhou Guo said, "Mom, a duck is a duck and a chicken is a chicken. They taste different. Besides, your daughter is poor now, but she can still afford a roast chicken. Eat it boldly!"
Everyone laughed.
Li said, "Yes, you are rich and powerful, no one can compare to you. Okay, we will leave now, and I will come to see you later."
Zhou Guo sent the family onto the carriage and watched them go away.
After a while, she sighed and said, "Why do I feel like I'm married? They're sending my family back home, and I'm the only one left at my husband's house."
Li looked back at her daughter and said, "This child comes back less often than Zhou Xing who got married. If she really gets married in the future, I'm afraid she won't come back for a few years."
Wu Ya comforted her, "Second Aunt, Guoguo is very capable and is busy with important things. Even the literate daughters of wealthy families are not as capable as her. She can set up such a big stall by herself."
Zhou Guo, who stayed behind, was sad for a while and then went back to work.
If you want to open a dim sum shop, you must first choose a shop. You can’t just choose a shop randomly, like you can’t just squeeze into a duck shop like you do with fruit shops.
She took Erpang and the others around the city for a day but couldn't find a suitable place. None of the good locations were available for rent, so they had to settle for the next best thing and look for a slightly worse location.
In the evening, she brought Erpang and others back to the duck shop for dinner, and asked about the sales of ground berries that day.
The two young men were so excited that they laughed so hard that their teeth were showing. Before Zhou Guo could ask any questions, they couldn't help but blurt out everything.
"Master, this fruit is not easy to sell. Not many people buy it. But if you say it is not easy to sell, if you meet a big buyer, I would like to buy it all for you."
"After you left, we continued to sell five or six kilograms of fruit. Not long after, a gentleman came from nowhere and bought all the remaining fruit in one go. He asked if there were any left. If there were, he would give them to him. In less than an hour, all the fruit was sold out. Many more came after hearing the news. When they heard that there were no more, they stamped their feet and sighed."
Er Pang said, "I originally thought that 899 coins was too high, but I didn't expect that it was not enough to sell."
Zhou Guo originally wanted to sell it for 599 or 699 wen, but when he thought about how rare this thing was, he thought 899 wen per catty would be a better price.
This way, many people can be filtered out directly, and those who are willing to spend this money are not short of money.
Zhou Guo finished his meal in a good mood, and got up early the next day and rushed out of the city.
Fortunately, I left a lot of them yesterday, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to pick them today.
It's still too little, only two or three acres, and it's hard to keep up with the harvest. After picking one crop, you have to wait five or six days before you can pick the second crop.
If the land is 20 to 30 acres, you can pick the fruits one by one. After you finish picking the last piece, you can pick the fruits from the first piece. You don't have to worry about not being able to sell any of the fruits one day in between.
We picked much less today than yesterday, only 21 kilograms. After we pick them, there will be nothing left for tomorrow, so we have to wait at least a few days.
Zhou Guo was helpless. He could earn the money right away, but he didn't have the goods.
Half of the 21 kilograms of fruit were sold as soon as they were put on the display. When others heard that it would take a few days for the product to be available, the remaining half was quickly bought up by these people.
Although it’s expensive, there’s not much of it.
This is the only store in the whole Yunzhou that sells it. It's so expensive per pound. It's so glorious and impressive to serve it to guests.
There were even a few servants from wealthy families who came over to ask about the goods. When they heard that they were sold out, they clamored that the next batch of goods would be delivered to their homes.
Zhou Guo asked his clerk to write down the addresses of these big customers to ensure that they would be delivered first when goods became available.
At the end of the day, 38 kilograms were ordered directly.
Xiaoshu said, "Then won't the rest of the fruit be sold? They'll all be bought by these people, right?"
Dashu asked: "If so many people come to order every day, this is the case, but what if more and more people order?"
Er Pang said helplessly: "I don't know if you are stupid or dumb. If you order a lot, just sell it according to the order. If there is no more, then don't order it. Can they eat us?"
The two were not angry even after being scolded and continued to smile.
Zhou Guo said, "The shop is ready. Although the location is not the best, there are many food vendors around. I have listed some items for you to buy. You should buy them according to the size of the shop. Remember to make sure the items are exquisite and good-looking, and don't skimp on the ingredients."
Erpang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Zhou Guo glanced at him and said, "I know, but if you really can't come up with it, just keep it on the account first, and then write it off when the shops get paid next month."
After saying this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. After working so hard for so many years, he never expected that in the end he would end up running a shop and having to sell on credit!
Erpang should be it.
If they want to buy on credit, they can still do so. Not to mention anything else, the Zhou family grain store and the mountain product store are also well-known in Yunzhou, so everyone will give them this face.
The next day, two dim sum chefs from Lu County arrived.
The shop has been bought. It is the largest one in Lu County and most importantly, it has a second floor.
When the two dim sum chefs saw that the shop was not ready yet and didn't know why they came so early, they said they might as well go back and work for a few days and come back later.
Zhou Guo said: "The snack shop in Yunzhou is different from the snack shop in Lu County. The shop we are going to open next is dedicated to the business of rich people, so everything must be the best. From the big round plates for birthdays to the small round plates and the small cream snacks we usually eat, everything must be made beautiful and exquisite.
Even if it is the same as the one in Lv County, it must be different in details. It can have more fruits and more colors than the one in Lv County. From the appearance to the taste, people can find no faults between the two. People feel that the money is worth it! "
The two looked at each other and saw the embarrassment on each other's faces. "Master, it's not that we don't want to, but we really can't come up with so many new products. We have been doing this in Lu County for several years, and all new products have been released in the past two years. I'm afraid we can't release so many new products at once."
