Although the shop in the town is small, it is very clean. All Su Yu has to do is to put two rows of containers inside and let the carpenters rush to work. It will only take four or five days. Su Yu does not intend to delay. It opened on the 20th day, and the name of the shop was also very casual. The name of the shop was written by Su Yu himself. The words "farm shop" were written like dragons and phoenixes. Otherwise, it could be said that the person who wrote it was a little girl. Others thought it was written by someone else.
Although Su Yu doesn't usually practice calligraphy, the foundation of his previous life is still there, and he has practiced it for more than ten years. It is impossible for him to forget it after traveling to ancient times.
The day before the store opened, ox carts began to transport goods to the store one after another. It took three trips to finish. Su Yu didn't plan to bring too many carts. Anyway, his home was not far from the town, and Li Quan had to go back every day. Sleeping at home, just make up for whatever is not enough.
On the 20th of the first lunar month, the shop at the corner of East Street opened quietly. If it weren't for the red silk hanging on the shop's plaque and the small hanging of broken firecrackers at the door of the shop, I wouldn't have guessed that the shop would open today. The name of the shop is also very strange, it's called a farm shop.
It was opening today, and there was nothing busy in the shop. Su Yu didn't expect how good the business would be today, so he didn't ask his parents to come with him. After all, his family was very busy. And she planned to stay in the shop today. Li Quan had never sold anything before, so she would keep him with him for a few days and then think about other things.
There are really not many things in the shop. There are a lot of bacon, cured chicken, and sausages hanging on one side, and a lot of preserved eggs and salted duck eggs on the other side. There are a bunch of long strips of soap stacked on the low cabinet at the door. As for the ham that hasn’t been stored for long enough, I plan to sell it after it has been stored for half a year.
There are not many rich people in the town, and Su Yu doesn’t want to work hard on soap. It’s just popular. I don’t see those old brands in modern times. The packaging has not changed for decades. The appearance is scummy, but the effect is real. Okay, so as long as the quality improves, other Shenma will be nothing.
A middle-aged man passed by the shop and was very curious. He had never seen a shop open before that only stocked a few things, so he walked in to take a look.
When she saw a guest coming, Su Yu asked Li Quan to watch from the side to see how she received the guest, and greeted him with a well-timed smile on her face.
"Welcome to the store."
The middle-aged man lowered his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. He wondered if she was ten years old. The boss of this shop was very generous, and he actually let such a young girl sell things. He would never have thought that the little girl he looked down upon in front of him was the owner of this shop.
"Is this what your family sells?"
"For the moment, I only have these. They are all made at home. Whatever I make at home in the future, I will sell them in the store."
"Did you make these at home?"
"That's right, uncle, look at the bacon and sausage. It's good whether you give it away or keep it for yourself. My bacon and sausage are delicious. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Su Yu said and took a small plate from the counter. On the plate were two small pieces of bacon and two small pieces of sausage, and handed them over with chopsticks.
"Uncle, give it a try. These are free."
When the man heard that it was free, he picked up a piece of bacon with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up. The taste of the bacon was different from what he had eaten before.
"This meat is good."
"The bacon I make is delicious. Nothing sold elsewhere can compare to what I make. Uncle, please try the bacon again."
After tasting it, the middle-aged man felt that the bacon and sausages sold in this store were good. He didn't want to buy them at first, but now he couldn't help but have second thoughts.
"How much does this bacon sausage cost per pound?"
"It's not expensive, it's only fifty cents a pound."
"So expensive?"
"Is it expensive? The ingredients in my bacon are all powdered from medicinal materials. Uncle, you don't know how expensive the medicinal materials are. My family doesn't make much money even if it's fifty cents, so the sales were lower when the shop just opened. Maybe it will sell for more in the near future.”
"There are medicinal materials in bacon, can people eat it randomly?"
"Uncle, you can rest assured. There are all health-preserving medicinal materials in it. Eating it will only strengthen your body. Otherwise, my family would not dare to make it and sell it."
"Okay, let me buy it and try it. If your family thinks it tastes good, they will come to your house to buy it in the future."
After everyone had picked it up, Su Yu asked Li Quan to pack it up.
"Li Quan, quickly wrap it up for the guest."
After giving instructions to Li Quan, Su Yu turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile.
"Uncle, your hands are dirty. There is water at the door of my shop. You can go and wash your hands."
The middle-aged man had picked out the bacon just now, and a few of his fingers were stained with oil. After hearing what Su Yu said, he felt that his hands were really uncomfortable, so he went to wash his hands.
"Uncle, try this."
There was a piece of soap in the bamboo tube next to the wooden basin. The middle-aged man listened to Su Yu's words and wiped his hands. Unexpectedly, the oil stains that were usually difficult to clean were washed away in one go.
"Little girl, how do you sell this thing?"
The middle-aged man is not blind, and the pile on the low cabinet next to him is the same as the one he uses.
"This thing is called soap. It costs ten cents a piece. It is best for washing hands and clothes. It can wash cleaner than plant ash."
"Give me ten bucks."
"Okay, I'll wrap it up right now."
In the end, the middle-aged man spent a total of 380 yuan.
As for the preserved eggs and salted duck eggs in the shop, Su Yu didn't introduce them, so he probably wouldn't buy them either.
Li Quan, who was watching from the side, was in admiration. The girl was so good at pulling. She could pull a piece of bacon onto the medicinal material, and then pull it onto the health.
"Have you seen it? From now on, we will sell it like this when customers come to our door. We are a new business. It doesn't matter if the business is good or not. We will have to wait and see the reputation in the future."
Su Yu's words really came true. Today is the first day of business, but there are really few people coming to the shop. At the end of the day, the two of them only made three sales, which totaled less than one tael. When he came home, Li Quan looked listless, but Su Yu was not affected at all.
Looking at Li Quan, Su Yu thought to himself, young people still have little experience.
"I guess there aren't many people these days. You can come to the shop by yourself tomorrow, and I won't come."
Li Quan was a little nervous when he heard this.
Su Yu saw it and comforted him quickly: "Don't worry, you can sell as much as you can. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it. The bacon will last a long time anyway."
"Girl, the younger one will work hard."
There are not many types of goods in the shop, so Su Yu plans to buy a few more at home.
After returning home, Su Yu went to find his father.
"Dad, have you asked the village chief grandpa whether the small dirt slope in the back of our house will be sold by the village?"
"I asked about it early this morning. Your village chief grandpa said it was for sale. We will go to the Yamen together tomorrow to handle the matter."
"That's good. After we buy it, we'll recruit people in the village. First, we'll clean up the weeds and trees."
"Okay, my dear, how's the business in the shop today?"
"It's so-so. I sold it for about one tael of silver."
"Really! My daughter is so powerful. One tael a day, and thirty taels a month."
Su Laoer can still figure out accounts like this.
Su Yu looked at his father with a bit of a sour expression. Could it be that he had forgotten that he still had capital.
It's still early in the day, so we have to wait until the rainy season to plant lemons. The soil on the hillside is soft, so Su Yu plans to plant a whole mountain of radishes first. They don't have to pick the ground, and the radishes will be harvested just enough to plant lemons.
"It's getting warmer and warmer today. I can't make bacon for another ten days or so."
"It's okay, Mom, we can't make anything else after we finish it. Anyway, there aren't many things in the shop, so I plan to make a few more things."
Now, Mrs. Lian is increasingly unpredictable about her daughter's thoughts, so she has no choice but to let her daughter do it.
When Butcher Gao sent the pigs to Su's house, Su Yu looked at the five fat, white pigs in front of him and squatted on the ground thoughtfully.
"Eldest niece, what's going on?"
Seeing Su Yu's appearance, Butcher Gao thought there was something wrong with the pig he gave away. Now that the Su family was a big customer, his family was making a lot of money.
"It's okay. I'm just thinking about a problem. It's just these pig hairs. Uncle Gao, can you bring me a bag of them tomorrow? I can use them."
"If you want those things, tell me earlier. I have a lot of them at home and there is no place to throw them away. You can have as many as you want. Not just one bag, but ten bags."
"Uncle Gao, please get me a bag first, and I'll get it with you later if it's appropriate."
The pigs were originally bought by the Su family. If the Su family wanted them, Butcher Gao would deliver them to his family for free. Su Yu also thought of this, so she didn't mention money. She would save whatever she could. It was not easy for her to make money.
