Chapter 802: You have to pay for delivering goods to your own home
Zhou Guo promised: "Don't be impatient, there are still two days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If you come early in these two days, you will definitely be able to eat such cheap and delicious egg cakes."
When they heard there was more to come, they were no longer in a hurry and ate a lot while waiting in line.
Even if you don't buy anything tomorrow, you can still eat something good for free.
Not everyone coming out of the shop has bought anything; some come out empty-handed.
In the next two days, Li specially made a lot more egg cakes, selling them at a few cents per pound. No matter how many she made, they would all be sold out by the second half of the afternoon. They sold much better than other things in the shop.
She wants to specialize in this.
The cheapest small cake with cream filling is 33 cents a piece, and most people can’t afford it.
But there were also some slightly wealthier families who had never seen this thing before. They thought it might be a good idea to spend a few dozen cents to try it, so they bought a few pieces and took them home to eat together.
The first time I tasted it, I was amazed. It tasted like chewing cotton, fragrant and sweet. I couldn't stop eating it, so I came back to buy it the next day.
Gradually, apart from the popular egg cakes, the small cakes filled with cream became the new products in the shop.
Zhou Guo was eating a small cake happily. Small cakes are something that people are eager to have even in modern times when food is extremely abundant, let alone at this time.
Three days later, everyone checked the accounts and found that they had sold 7,652 coins at half the price in three days. The business in the last two days was much better than the first day.
The key point is that a lot of small cakes were sold in these two days. Everyone who ate them on the first day would bring their neighbors to buy them on the second day.
It is half price at this time, and it will return to the original price after two days.
The small cakes were sold out before the next day.
Li said happily: "I didn't expect it to sell so well. This is only half the price. If it returns to the original price, who knows how much more it can sell for."
Zhou Guo hurriedly said, "Mom, don't think too highly of yourself. It's because these three days are half price, plus it's a new shop, so many people come to buy. After today, the price will return to the original tomorrow, and there will definitely not be as many people coming to buy as these few days. Plus, when the novelty wears off, there will be even fewer people coming. Don't think you're going to make a fortune just because business is good in these three days."
She has opened so many shops, how could she not have some experience?
Li said, "I don't want to get rich. Well, if I don't have these few days, then I don't have these few days. I'm satisfied even if I can make 500 coins a day. The shop doesn't need rent, but at least we can earn enough for our wages and the raw materials."
Zhou Guo said: "It shouldn't be that bad. After all, we are the first to sell this thing. No other place sells it. Even if we sell it at the original price, it's not too expensive. It's not possible that we can only sell 500 coins a day."
After hearing her words, Li felt reassured. Her daughter's business was so big, so what she said must be correct.
Sure enough, there was no one queuing on the fourth day.
Although there are not so many people, there are still not too few. They come in waves. Although it seems that there is no need to squeeze in, there are always people in the shop. There is no idle time. There are always one or two, or three or four people.
At the end of the day, I made quite a bit of money from the sales.
After calculating, after deducting the costs, the profit was more than two hundred coins.
Li was overjoyed. "It seems that the number of people today is far less than the previous two days. I didn't expect that I could make so much in one day. It's not worse than the previous few days. I can still make more money at the original price."
Zhou Guo followed for another two days and then said, "Mom, the shop is back on track. I can't keep it with you. I have to go to Yunzhou. There are some things waiting for me to deal with at the escort agency. I will be gone for about half a month. If there are any problems during this time, you can find Wu Jiang. He is in the village now and will not go out until the crabs start to sell."
Crabs are the mainstay of their family, so someone has to watch over them at home. Otherwise, if they were killed overnight, the family would suffer a loss of tens of thousands of taels.
Li is working very hard now. He can earn so much money every day, which makes him feel like he has been injected with chicken blood. Hearing this, he just waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Be careful on the road."
Then it was gone.
Normally, he would give me instructions again and again and prepare a lot of food for me.
Zhou Guo smiled. Although Li spent less energy on her and at home, she looked better to her.
She stayed in Yunzhou for a month and personally escorted a dart worth 1,200 taels of silver.
I went around various provincial capitals and selected a few wealthy county towns under the provincial capitals. I got some money and prepared some crabs so that I could start selling them next month.
I have so many crabs at home this year, and I can’t sell them in Yunzhou, so it will be difficult to sell them all in a short time.
Qian Duo said: "Boss, it's so far, won't the crabs die if they are transported here?"
Zhou Guo said, "Crabs won't die so easily. They can still survive the journey of three to five days. Next year, these places will all start raising crabs. We have to open up this market first. By next year, even if a prefecture raises 70,000 crabs, we won't have trouble selling them."
Qian Duo and a few others excitedly went down to get busy.
Crabs, delicious crabs. When the crabs are sold out, they can eat their fill in one go.
Crab sauce and the like cannot compare to crabs fresh out of the water. They are far inferior.
She arranged the next things to do in each prefecture and went home.
In addition to the busy spring ploughing and autumn harvest seasons every year, August and September are also very busy times.
The crabs are ready to be taken out of the pond, and the pine mushrooms in the mountains are also ready to come out at this time.
Fortunately, we are not planning to sell pine mushrooms at this time. We just need to send people to guard the farm. Everyone will go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and sell them to the Zhou family. This job requires more than ten people to work together.
After all, we don't need much manpower.
It's different with crabs. They are precious, the place where they are sold is wide, and they are expensive. A few people are really afraid of being snatched away. Every time they set up a stall, there are at least 15 people in a group, all of them strong men.
It takes a lot of manpower.
She also asked him to transfer back the people from the escort agency and let them escort the crabs to several prefecture-level cities.
Niu Si said: "Master, this is a delivery for your family, right?"
Zhou Guo said, "I know. I won't give you any less. I will still pay you for delivering the goods to my family. I have never given you any less. I didn't give you any less last time when I delivered the grain."
Niu Si said in distress, "Isn't it that the orders the escort agency receives now are only enough for us to eat, drink, defecate and urinate? After so long, the money we earn is not as much as a grain store in a county town."
It’s really difficult to run a security company in the North!
He was really worried that one day Zhou Guo would not be able to continue his job and would close the Haoguo Escort Agency. He still liked doing this very much.
Zhou Guo said, "Don't worry, things will get better in the future. We just opened the escort agency this year. Why are you in such a hurry? We don't rely on it to make a fortune. Take good care of it now. When it grows up, it may become the most profitable business for our family."
"Really?" Niu Si was very skeptical. How much money could an escort agency make? He had never heard of any escort agency becoming the richest in the world.
A small fortune is okay.
Becoming rich...that's just a dream.
