Tang Xiaoman didn't expect that this time it would be a foreigner who came to help him in times of need.
It is indeed a great honor for Tang Xiaoman to be able to make this friend.
Tang Xiaoman used more than 100 kilograms of apples to make applesauce, so that the gift box would not look so monotonous.
In the past few days, she has been making applesauce at home, and asked craftsmen from neighboring villages to make all the custom-made bottles as required.
After all, it is custom-made into a gift box, so the bottle naturally looks very classy.
Tang Xiaoman asked Wang Er to help her make a wooden box, which is a gift box commonly used by modern people, and spread some silk and satin inside to add a sense of nobility.
There are two jars of orange jam in the gift box, with applesauce in the middle. The color combination is very eye-catching.
Tang Xiaoman liked it very much after seeing it. She must keep one as a souvenir when the time comes.
A total of 500 such gift boxes have been made, and the price is 150 cents. Although it is a bit expensive, the jam inside is more valuable because of the applesauce. Naturally, many rich people like to buy it as a taste for themselves. Or giving gifts, both are very face-saving.
Tang Xiaoman's first thought was to deliver it to Shopkeeper Zhang's house in Dongshi. Their grocery store has been booming recently, so there must be people willing to buy such a gift box.
After Tang Xiaoman brought the gift boxes over, the shopkeeper Zhang was very happy. He accepted all the gift boxes at once and said that if they were sold out, he would continue to ask Tang Xiaoman for goods.
Tang Xiaoman asked him if the price of this gift box was so high, would anyone be willing to pay for it?
However, the purchase price Tang Xiaoman gave Boss Zhang was only one hundred and twenty cents.
"No problem, you have to believe in the strength of our grocery store!"
Shopkeeper Zhang called the waiters over, cleared all the space in front of the counter, and placed the gift boxes in the most conspicuous place. Tang Xiaoman was not in a hurry to leave, so he just watched here for a while.
As soon as the gift box was placed, a large number of guests were attracted. They came to inquire one after another. When they heard that it was one hundred and fifty cents, they were stunned.
This price is really a bit expensive!
However, Shopkeeper Zhang positioned the target group very accurately, namely those wealthy and wealthy families, and he actually prepared carefully for those people.
Tang Xiaoman watched for a while and saw that no one came to buy a box. When she was about to leave, an old man walked in from the door and looked like he was not an ordinary person.
When he walked in, he was also attracted by the gift box on the counter at the door.
After looking at the gift box carefully for a while, he asked, "How do you sell this gift box?"
"One hundred and fifty cents!"
Shopkeeper Zhang opened his mouth and saw the old man frowning.
"As far as I know, isn't it just jam? And it's only marmalade, right? Doesn't the price double with an extra box? Isn't your boss a bit too cunning?"
Shopkeeper Zhang heard this and replied very calmly: "No, there is another kind of applesauce here. Do you know about apples? The cost price of apples shipped from abroad is higher!"
The man in the display cabinet found a box. He planned to keep it for his family to eat, so naturally he did not shy away from opening it and showing it to the old man.
"Look, this jam is like this. There are three exquisite boxes on top, and the bottom is covered with golden satin. It looks very respectable at first glance. He opened the apple jam bottle in the middle again, and inside It is golden yellow, and a fruity aroma comes to your nose. The sweetness can be smelled before it reaches your mouth.
"You can try it!"
Shopkeeper Zhang originally wanted to take out the bottle in his hand and give it to him to try, but he was a little reluctant to part with it.
Tang Xiaoman quickly took out the applesauce he had prepared for tasting before, "You can try this applesauce, you will definitely not be disappointed!"
"good!"
The old man took a small sip, and when he saw the expression on his face, he immediately felt that it was very sweet and delicious, and he immediately showed an expression of great enjoyment.
"This jam is made by this lady!"
Shopkeeper Zhang quickly introduced it to the old man. Tang Xiaoman did not flinch at all and nodded directly with a smile.
The old man looked satisfied. He turned around and asked shopkeeper Zhang: "How many gift boxes do you have here?"
Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned and quickly replied: "I have thirty boxes here, but this is just the first batch of goods. I will ask her for goods later!"
Shopkeeper Zhang pointed at Tang Xiaoman.
"Okay, I'll take all thirty boxes of yours!"
Shopkeeper Zhang was very happy when he heard this. The old man took out a silver coin from his wallet and saw that it was twenty taels.
"Is it enough? If not, I will give you more!"
"That's enough!"
As for the extra few pennies, people who love the elderly don't want to give change. Of course, shopkeeper Zhang can't agree to it.
"Let's do this, tell me where your house is, and I'll send someone to take it to you right away!"
This is door-to-door delivery, so shopkeeper Zhang is quite generous in doing so.
As a result, the old man waved his hand and said: "No need!"
Several strong men walked in from outside. At first glance, they looked like they were the servants who were guarding the courtyard of a wealthy family.
They took away all the gift boxes. After the old man left, Tang Xiaoman thought to himself that this customer was too rich.
People spend money every time they spend money, unlike ordinary people, who feel embarrassed even if they spend a few pennies at most.
Shopkeeper Zhang ordered another fifty boxes from Xiaoman, and Xiaoman agreed.
Tang Xiaoman was very happy at this time. Taking his own money, this trip was really fruitful.
She and Su Pingan returned home together, thinking that they would save enough money to renovate the dilapidated old house.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone spoke at the door.
"Are the third brother and sister at home?"
Tang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the voice of Zhao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family.
"What is she here for?"
Tang Xiaoman glanced at Su Pingan, who also felt a little disgusted with his sister-in-law.
Tang Xiaoman came out of the house and saw that the person standing outside the door was Ms. Zhao.
As the saying goes, when a weasel pays New Year greetings to a rooster, it has no good intentions. Tang Xiaoman naturally had a vigilant look on her face, and Mrs. Zhao also noticed it, with a very embarrassed smile on her face.
However, after not seeing her for several months, Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale and she seemed much older than before.
"Third brother and sister, haven't I seen you for a long time? I came here with your second sister-in-law to see how you and Ping An are doing!"
When Tang Xiaoman heard that Mrs. Liu was here too, she noticed the reserved Mrs. Liu standing next to Mrs. Zhao.
Ms. Liu also looked a lot thinner, and a gust of wind could blow her away due to her thin body.
"Second sister-in-law, did you come here together?"
"Come in quickly!"
Since Liu is here, Tang Xiaoman can't act too much.
She knew that the Liu family was pretty good.
"No, we can just stand in the yard and say it!"
Tang Xiaoman finally let the two of them into the house, but he didn't know what the purpose of their trip was.
