At twelve o'clock at noon, the outdoor temperature reached more than 30 degrees. There was no wind in the air and it was very muggy. Even the business of the tea stall was much better.
Although there were far fewer pedestrians on the road, the frequency of purchases was much higher. From 12 noon to 2 p.m., at least three to four hundred large bowls of tea were sold.
Compared with the warm tea sold in the morning, the tea sold at noon is all herbal tea that has been cooled down. If conditions did not allow it, Li Jie would also like to sell it as iced tea.
Unfortunately, China already had domestic refrigerators in this era. In 1956, Snowflake Refrigerator produced the first domestic refrigerator, which was the kind of green refrigerator that often appears in movies and TV series. Later, a series of refrigerators such as Wanbao and Siren also followed. Come.
However, the price of the refrigerator was more expensive than the color TV, and it was an absolute luxury item. The little money Li Jie had on him was not even enough, and it could not be stored for a long time with ice cubes.
There are only four people in the Dawan Tea Shop, so they have to use manpower to transport the ice cubes. Maybe when there are more people in the future, we can consider developing ice tea.
In addition to the booming tea business, the business of high-end catechu tea bags is also very good. All 100 tea bags taken from the supply and marketing cooperative have been sold out.
The tea business is reimbursed and does not charge any agency fees. The reason why we do not charge money is mainly to make it easier to purchase goods in the future.
If there were no supply and marketing cooperatives like the tea factory purchasing high-end tea, Li Jie would not be able to get the tea. After all, the tea factory only does business with the unit that signed the supply agreement. No other individuals or companies with mismatched business can even think of buying tea from the tea factory through formal channels. Get the goods.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the flow of people at the tea stall decreased a bit, and everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a break.
Yao Wenguang breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his face with the towel around his neck, and said with emotion: "I'm so exhausted. I didn't expect the tea stall business to be so good."
The weather outside was too hot, and there were several briquette stoves nearby that kept boiling water. The temperature inside the tea stall was several degrees higher than the perceived temperature on the radio.
In addition, there was an endless stream of customers buying tea. Everyone was busy almost non-stop, and the sweat on their bodies was flowing out in large quantities as if they were free of charge.
The intensity of labor is no less than physical work. From 6:30 in the morning to now, the total rest time is no more than one hour, which also includes the time for eating and going to the toilet.
Fang Yuan's movements were almost exactly the same as Yao Wenguang's. He took out a cattail leaf fan from nowhere and fanned fiercely.
"Yeah, I'm so tired. This is even more tiring than when we jumped in line at Xiaoqinghe. At that time, we could take a break at noon, but unlike now, we hardly ever take a break."
Zhou Tong was thoughtful and did not complain. Instead, he said to Li Jie who was making tea: "Chunming, aren't you tired? Take a break. Stop being busy. There's no one around now anyway."
tired!
How could he not be tired? The weather was so hot. Among the four people, Li Jie did the most work, and he was just an ordinary person now. After entering the dungeon, he basically didn't practice much. He just exercised regularly, and his body was at most a little stronger than ordinary people.
But Li Jie can't complain like the three of them. He is the organizer of this matter. If he takes the lead, it will invisibly damage morale.
Today is the first day of Dawancha's stall. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you can't get through the first day, you won't be able to do the rest. He must open a new one.
No matter how tired he was, he couldn't say it out loud. On the contrary, he had to show that he wasn't tired to set an example.
"Fortunately, I'm not very tired. I just sweat a little more. I just need to drink more water. By the way, there is salt water here. Everyone, come and drink some to replenish the body with salt."
The waste in the body will be excreted with sweat. Sweating is a very beneficial thing to the human body and can promote metabolism. However, at the same time, sweat will also take away a large amount of salt, affecting the electrolyte balance in the body fluid, thus causing Symptoms include taste, dizziness, fatigue and weakness.
Everyone in the tea stall team, including Li Jie, was sweating profusely. Their clothes were dry and wet, wet and dry again. For health reasons, they must drink some light salt water appropriately.
This is almost common sense to everyone in later generations, but now, many people don't really care.
Li Jie single-handedly promoted the big bowl of tea business. He handled all the preliminary preparations and investment. Yao Wenguang and the others got a job just by putting in some effort.
Although this job is a bit tiring, a bit bitter, and it doesn't mean much to talk about, but work is work, and Yao Wenguang and the others are still grateful to Li Jie.
Before today, Yao Wenguang and the others were just grateful and didn't think it was anything special that Li Jie had accomplished this. They just thought that he had made a good friend.
But now they don't think so. The eyes of the masses are sharp. The most intuitive point is that Li Jie did the most work today, shouted loudest and rested the least.
In just half a day, Yao Wenguang and the others felt a little more admiration in their hearts. I am afraid that they would not be able to cover everything in this way.
With Li Jie leading the charge, Yao Wenguang and the others were exhausted, but they were not discouraged. Instead, they gritted their teeth and held on, dragging their tired bodies to welcome the arrival of the evening rush hour.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the crowds on Qianmen Street gradually thinned out, and the business of the tea stall hit a low point. Yao Wenguang sat down on the stool when he saw this. The other two people were not much different from him, and they also slumped on the stool without any image. superior.
Li Jie glanced at the three younger brothers and nodded secretly. Their performance today was pretty good. Even though they were as physically strong as him, they still felt a little tired.
"Okay, let's get here today and get ready to close the stall!"
"Yeah!" X3
When the three of them heard the word 'close the stall', they sat up straight and exclaimed in unison. The expressions on their faces were even more excited than when they heard the bell rang at school.
They sweated more today than they had in the past three months combined, and everyone looked tired.
After spending ten minutes clearing the tables and chairs, Li Jie summoned them to sit together and count today's turnover. This is a necessary process. Li Jie made a rough estimate and found that today's income was at least more than 40 yuan. .
Slowly a pile of change was placed on the table, and the three little brothers immediately cheered up. They looked straight at Li Jie counting the money unhurriedly and deliberately making a sound while counting.
"Fifty cents!"
"One dollar for three!"
"Thirteen dollars!"
"Twenty-two dollars!"
"Thirty dollars and fifteen cents!"
"Forty dollars and eighty-six cents!"
'Forty dollars and eighty-six cents? '
'Did I hear that right? '
When the other three heard this number, the same idea came to their minds.
incredible!
A big bowl of tea costs two cents, but the daily turnover is more than 40 yuan?
