The man was wearing an old Tang suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He pushed slightly with his hand and spoke.
"Well, it tastes good, and it feels right!"
Sun Ergou looked at the other party and immediately stopped what he was doing, and then asked with a smile: "Really, brother, this thing in our house is definitely a fun thing, I won't do it with you."
"Hmm, I heard outside that you have an apple cider vinegar drink in Pingjiang. Sure enough, I got it today. It's better to come sooner than later. It's the last drink!"
The man drank a few more sips as he spoke. Since the last glass was left outside for a minute or two, the water naturally became milder.
Sun Ergou saw that the other party was talkative and laughed too.
"By the way, can you host a banquet? I think the drinks you use are about the same."
The man paused, put the apple cider vinegar on the table, took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it over.
banquet?
There are ten people at this table. Whether it is a large banquet in the countryside or in the city, at least there will be no more than ten or twenty tables to start with!
I have worked hard here to sell two to three hundred cups in one day, but I can sell two hundred cups for this banquet. Of course I have to accept this business. If I don't accept it, won't I have trouble with money?
Sun Ergou was a little unsure, and then he looked at Chen Zhen, who smiled and said: "Of course, it depends on when you start the business. Our business has been a bit tight recently, and the goods are fully booked. All the goods are required. Goods."
"Also, do you want it iced or hot?"
The man paused for a moment: "Of course it's hot. If you drink ice on such a cold day, aren't you afraid that you won't catch a cold?"
"If it's hot, I need to sell you the puree. You just need to rinse it with water, stir it evenly and drink it!"
As he spoke, Chen Zhen brought the empty bucket up from the side and gestured with the other party.
"Hmm, that's fine. How do I sell it?"
"Um……"
Chen Zhen didn't react for a while, his mind was racing. How much is the appropriate charge?
Two hundred cups were sold for 160 yuan. The price of this puree is only one manpower difference from its own price. Naturally, the price cannot be too low.
"One hundred and forty dollars!"
"Hey, can you make it cheaper? Just two barrels of this stuff will cost you one hundred and forty. Isn't this robbing you of money?"
The man was a little frightened, and then he spoke without thinking.
Chen Zhen didn't panic at all, still smiling: "The cost for us to make this thing is already very high. The apples are all high-quality apples, and the vinegar is all old vinegar. Besides, it takes a lot of time and brewing costs." .”
"This one hundred and four is really not expensive. This kind of drink is not available anywhere else in the city. You can even hold a lantern and you can't find another one."
"I think you really want to buy it, right? I won't talk to you anymore. One hundred and four does sound a bit unpleasant. One hundred and thirty-eight, one hundred and thirty-eight, one-and-three-eight. You will make it all the way!"
…
Chen Zhen's words surprised Sun Ergou next to him. Is this still the Chen Zhen he knows?
Not to mention the man opposite him. He couldn't speak to Chen Zhen for a moment. He shook his head and sighed: "Look at you, a young man. This mouth is quite good. Okay, okay, one hundred and thirty-eight, when?" take things?"
"I'm going back to Dai County tomorrow."
"Where do you live? I will send it to you when the time comes!"
"There's some kind of Wanri Guest House next to the match factory."
…
After the two communicated for a while, the man left holding the half cup of apple cider vinegar.
It was getting late, and dark clouds were creeping up, making it a little dark and even a little red. The temperature had obviously dropped a lot, but it was not particularly freezing.
The man did not walk in the direction of the Match Factory Guest House. Instead, he walked around the ancient city a few times. Looking at the backs of Chen Zhen and Sun Ergou as they left the city gate, he turned around and walked back to the alley.
…
"Brother Zhen, it looks like it's going to snow. The weather is not right."
Sun Ergou wore an earmuff on his ears, and pulled the car with his arm and walked forward with his head lowered.
Chen Zhen held on to the glass bucket behind the spot, stopped, looked up, and nodded: "Yeah, it's been a long time since it snowed in the past two years, so it's good to have a spot."
"By the way, tomorrow morning we'll go get four barrels of puree, give two barrels to the person holding the banquet, and we'll get two more barrels to sell ourselves!"
Sun Ergou patted his chest to ensure that there was no problem, and the two of them returned home in the cold wind.
As soon as Chen Zhen returned, Zhang Baixue immediately rushed over, helped him take off his clothes, and put aside the electric heating fan he had just bought.
Zhang Baixue brought up the dinner that he had already sat down for.
"You have opened a factory, and business there can't be done. You still go out to do this, how cold it is."
Zhang Baixue said with some distress, rubbing her hand on Chen Zhen's neck.
Chen Zhen picked up a handful of tomatoes and eggs with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. He took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "If we don't set up a stall here, then of course no one in the city will know about it. Not to mention how big the factory is, there will be no one in the city." If we don’t grasp the largest consumer market, it will be useless no matter how big we expand.”
Zhang Baixue didn't know much about this, so she didn't say anything and ate with Chen Zhen.
"I've got a good idea about the inn. Don't worry, I'll take it!"
"Oh, I was just joking. Although houses in the city are not expensive, don't we still need to renovate a new house? We don't have that much money!"
Zhang Baixue said with a smile, but Chen Zhen knew in her heart that although Zhang Baixue said so, she must be thinking more about it than anyone else.
Chen Zhen looked up and stared at Zhang Baixue while eating. Zhang Baixue was a little overwhelmed and slapped Chen Zhen on the shoulder with a shy look on his face: "Hurry up and eat, see what I am doing!"
“It’s so pretty and delicious!”
"I hate you!"
…
Early the next morning, Sun Ergou and Chen Zhen went to the faucet outside to collect water. No one in the alley had direct running water, and every household relied on this iron pipe faucet for cooking and washing.
"Brother Zhen, I'll take a document to Lao Huang and go to the knitting factory, and then I'll go to Tuen'er."
Sun Ergou rubbed his hazy eyes and murmured.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep yesterday?"
"Oh, don't mention it. I came back last night and went out to find Mengjuan. Didn't she become some kind of deputy store manager? She's very busy at the end of the year. I can't worry about going home alone at night..."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be a love interest. Okay, I'll send you Huang's documents. It's still the party office, right?"
Chen Zhen looked at the other party's serious lack of sleep and said with a smile.
"Yep!"
