Electronic scales and bench scales are quite expensive, so Yao Yuan, who had no money in his pocket, could only buy an ancient steel scale.
Fortunately, I have used this thing in the kitchen before, and I can still use it. Of course, using such a steel scale is also in line with the style of the current morning market. Whether it is a vegetable buyer or a fruit vendor, everyone uses this thing.
There are vendors who are good at using pole scales, and they can earn a lot more in a day just by relying on their skillful skills. Therefore, even if they have good electronic scales, they will not be used by others, which will delay the harvest.
Of course, Yao Yuan does not have this skill and is not prepared to do this.
At the morning market in front of your home, all the people you know are acquaintances. You have to rely on the quality and price of the products to slowly build up a reputation. If you are eager for quick success and quick profit, cheating and sneaky, you will be found by your parents. Then It's a huge shame if you're embarrassed.
In an environment like the morning market, young men do not have much advantage in selling goods. Even if you, Yao Yuan, are five to six, it is useless. Picky buyers have all kinds of tricks and words to keep the price down. Dare to say it.
In particular, many customers are older housewives.
Yao Yuan felt that his patience was about to run out, and he knocked on the cardboard with the price written on it again: "Auntie, I have told you several times, we clearly mark the price, there is no bargaining, you can try it once and then point to it. It’s not okay to just eat it when you’re full, so why don’t you buy it?”
The aunt stretched out her hand and picked up another piece of pig ear: "This elbow tastes okay, but it's a bit bland. And why do your ears smell like cigarette smoke? Can you eat it?"
Yao Yuan's nose was a little crooked with anger: "Then why can't you eat it? Those are pig ears, not mine. The pig ears and the pig tail are both smoked. They are made in a high-end way. It's best to buy them back and drink them!"
The aunt squinted her eyes and tasted the taste: "Well, I think my son and wife will like the taste. So what, you can get me two pig's trotters and an ear."
Finally, when the aunt asked to buy it, Yao Yuan quickly weighed two pig trotters and one ear, and wrapped them in straw paper: "Come on, it's seven and thirty-eight yuan in total, take it!"
The aunt took out a five-dollar note from her pocket, added two more one-dollar notes, and put the three banknotes on the tricycle: "Okay, this is seven yuan, don't take the remaining thirty cents!"
After saying that, he grabbed the paper bag and turned around to leave...
"Hey! Hey!" Yao Yuan yelled twice without stopping the other party. He angrily threw the scale in his hand on the car: "Who the hell are these people? How come they are not taking enough advantage?!"
Mancheng has completely adapted to the environment after last night's night market training. He advised from the side: "Isn't this how things are sold in the free market? It's the same at our house. If you give me a small amount, you can still come back next time." "
Well, Yao Yuan had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it. Two pig trotters and one ear were equivalent to a discount of more than ten cents each, which was reasonable.
Today is the first day of setting up the stall. There is no need to think about the product being a big hit, as long as it can be sold. As long as someone has tasted his braised food, it will be considered a success. Yao Yuan is confident that his craftsmanship can still pass the test, as long as the customers have tasted it. From now on, I won’t be afraid that I won’t have repeat customers in the future.
The sun is rising higher and higher, the weather is gradually getting hotter, there are more and more people on the street, and the atmosphere is becoming noisy.
Mancheng was obviously in a good mood. He was shouting to attract customers and helping to pack. His round nose was covered with fine beads of sweat.
After staying in the disciplined forces for several years and entering the society for the first time, Mancheng seems to be very fascinated by this kind of street vending job. He seems to be getting more and more enthusiastic as he works, especially when he hears customers praising the deliciousness of his braised pork. When the taste is good, your eyes will narrow into slits when you smile.
It's also strange that Mancheng's image coupled with his strong northwest accent makes him more popular with customers. Aunts and aunts are all willing to chat with him, and even the intensity of bargaining seems to be much weaker.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer things on the tricycle, the smile on Mancheng's face grew stronger: "How much do you think we can earn if we buy all the goods in this tricycle?"
Although Mancheng had made it clear that he was only helping and not getting paid, he still couldn't help but ask. After all, everyone is curious about making money, and generally they can't help it.
Yao Yuan replied with a smile: "Today is an experiment. Yesterday we had more than 40 kilograms of meat in total. After it is braised, it will probably be around 30 kilograms. So even if we buy it all, we will probably earn a hundred or ten yuan."
Mancheng nodded: "One hundred yuan is really a lot of money. This month it will be three thousand yuan!"
Yao Yuan smiled evilly: "Yes, it's as much as what you earn from raising pigs for five months!"
Mancheng nodded silently and stopped talking.
Yao Yuan was not finished at the side: "Hey, let me tell you, you have followed the process of braised meat. Do you think if we let go, can we braise five hundred kilograms of meat in one day?"
Mancheng was shocked: "What? Five hundred pounds?!"
When I turned around and thought about the entire work process yesterday, I felt that this number was not impossible.
Forty kilograms of elbows, pig's trotters, etc. were almost all handled by him. It didn't take long to put them all neatly away. All that was left was to prepare the braised soup and cook it over high heat, which was not too troublesome at all.
After turning around and thinking again, he came to the key point: "No, even if we can make it, can we sell these 500 kilograms of braised pork?"
"If we can't sell it today, it doesn't mean that we won't be able to sell it in a month. As long as the product quality can be guaranteed and a reputation has been established, it shouldn't be difficult to sell hundreds of kilograms of meat every day in this market. Talk to the raw meat seller later. Talk, people selling raw meat can sell two pigs a day, which is more than 500 kilograms of meat!" Yao Yuanbian said and pointed to the meat stall in the distance.
As soon as you get busy, you will feel that time flies. Unknowingly, Xie Laozhao'er has appeared in front of the tricycle: "Holy crap! Holy crap! You can do it. What time did the stall open? It's not even nine o'clock yet." Well, everything is almost sold out?”
Everyone in the city rushed to answer: "There are only thirty kilograms of meat in total, which is not enough to sell."
Yao Yuan glanced sideways at Mancheng and nodded secretly. He was originally worried that Mancheng, who looked like a potato, would be narrow-minded and unable to let go. But now it seems that is not the case at all. As long as he adapts to the environment, this is A good piece of material.
Pointing to the few elbows left, Yao Yuan told Xie Laozhaoer: "You can leave three of these elbows for me in a while. There are a few old guys who practice wrestling in Zizhu Park who are acquaintances of mine. I will go out with you today." They agreed to keep a few so that they could have a taste of our craftsmanship."
Xie Laozhao'er nodded in agreement: "Do you still charge money?"
Yao Yuan's eyes stood up: "Nonsense! Nonsense! We are doing business, can we not charge money? But when the time comes, you can give them a little extra change, which will be regarded as a face."
Xie Laozhaoer understood: "Okay, just lift it up, it's already late, you two should go home quickly!"
Yao Yuan turned around and greeted Mancheng: "Okay, let's hand over the money and accounts to Lao Xie, and then we'll go home to take a shower and rest."
This work pattern is a typical double shift. You work for a while in the morning, then work for a while in the afternoon and evening, leaving enough time to rest and adjust. Only after you have rested can you continue to fight.
Mancheng reluctantly handed the accounting notebook to Xie Laozhaoer, and then looked at Yao Yuan: "I have nothing to do when I go back. How about I stay with Lao Xie for a while? I'll sell out the rest." Walk?"
…
Yesterday, a total of more than 280 bowls of braised pork were sold, and the gross profit was estimated to be about 580. Xie Laozhao'er and Hu Xiaopang'er were so busy that they closed the stall at almost 12 o'clock, not because there were few people. It's too busy, but there are obviously fewer people in the night market after nine o'clock, and most of them have already eaten. If you want to sell more goods, you have to stay late.
It was not until after 11 o'clock that workers from factories and restaurants passing by after the night shift started a small climax of sales. That is to say, all the stewed dishes were sold out. Otherwise, according to Xie Laozhao, According to Er, if we can work until two o'clock in the morning, even 500 bowls of braised pork can be sold out.
One of the reasons why the sales of braised pork are so good is that at night, there are really no places to eat and hungry customers have no place to go except street stalls; there are also night markets selling clothing, department stores and other things. Stall owners also have to eat after closing the stall, and they alone can contribute a lot of turnover; another important reason is that this stewed stew stall has been set up for a few days, and has formed a certain reputation in a small area. Many customers will make a detour just to have this bite.
But Yao Yuan estimated that three hundred bowls of braised pork was the limit of this stall. Although there would be a wave of diners in the early morning, none of the people setting up the stall were suitable to light lamps and boil oil at night to earn this hard money.
On the other hand, the braised pork stall still has great potential, and it won’t take much effort to find a way to increase the quantity. It’s worth the effort.
Thinking about the small things in my mind, I lowered my head and walked home. It was probably because it was Saturday. There were obviously more pedestrians on the street. Because of the stalls on the road, the pedestrians were almost crowded.
Suddenly a familiar figure burst into view, a little boy with a crew cut was crawling around in the most crowded place.
Yao Yuan's eyes suddenly widened: "What the hell is this called if you don't call it "enemies on a narrow road?!" The little brat went to the morning market to cause trouble again?"
Just as he was about to run away, he gave chase, but suddenly he calmed down, took two steps back, found a stall selling groceries and hid behind it, and then started to look around.
There is no way, I have already suffered losses three times, I have no way not to forget it. These grandsons are definitely not committing crimes individually. There are leaders, lookouts, and people responsible for transferring stolen goods. They are committing crimes as a group. This time we will not take action. Therefore, the attack must be steady, accurate and ruthless, and this little @ flat head must be brought in and kept there for a few days!
Looking to the side with a cold eye, I slowly saw some clues. Xiao@'s flat head should be decorated with an aunt, who was looking for an opportunity to make a move, and there were two groups of people following behind Xiao@'s flat head.
A group of underage children were following closely. They all looked familiar. They were laughing and playing as if nothing had happened. In fact, they were probably covering up the little @Pingtou and helping to move the stolen goods after he succeeded, just in case. If you miss, you can quickly move forward to mess up the scene and divert attention.
And in the shade on the side of the road, there are two figures looking distant and looking unkind!
