The backyard of the shop is not big, with three rooms, plus a small kitchen. Li Quan usually uses the kitchen to boil water for lunch, and the rooms are all empty. As early as a few days ago, the Su family started to use it one after another. The oxcart pulled the inventory and transported it to the backyard room of the shop for storage. At this time, the two backyard rooms were full of piles.
After everyone in the Su family arrived at the shop, Su Yu went to the shop on the left. This shop was a noodle shop, owned by a husband and wife, and there were no people in the shop.
"Uncle Jin, Aunt Jin, you are busy."
It was still early at this time, and there were not many customers in the shop.
"Miss Su is here."
"There are more things for sale today, so I came here to take a look. My family plans to set up a stall in front of the shop today. Aunt Jin, as you know, my shop is not big, so I want to use the door of your shop."
"It's okay, you can use it as you like."
"Then thank you Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin. These are the toothbrushes and brushes that my family is selling today. They are not worth much. This toothbrush is for brushing teeth, and the brush is for washing clothes."
Jin took a look.
"This thing is definitely better than willow branches. I will try it later."
"Then you're busy, I'll go over first."
"Go ahead."
On the day they first opened the shop, the small kitchen in the back was not ready, so Su Yu took Li Quan to the noodle shop next door to eat noodles, and they became acquainted with the couple. They were also from Xinglin Town and had already opened a noodle shop in this area of East Street. For more than ten years, most of the people who come to the noodle shop to eat noodles are from the town and are used to his taste. But to be honest, the noodles he makes are really chewy, and Su Yu also likes them.
After making an agreement with the noodle shop owner, Su Yu invited everyone to set up a stall at the door. He put a few long benches underneath, put wooden boards on top, spread a piece of red cloth on top, and poured the toothbrush on top.
After everything was ready, a lot of people had gathered at the door of the shop. It was a big gathering today, and there were already a lot of people. There was a lot of commotion here at the Su family. The people in the town looked at the brushes above, They didn't know what it was used for. First, a few people gathered around it, and then the people behind it also curiously gathered around it.
"Everyone, this is my newly made toothbrush. It is used for brushing teeth. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is better than a willow branch. If you don't believe it, look here."
For today, Su Yu can be said to have spent a lot of money. He had ordered Li Quan to find three women in the town a few days ago. He gave them 500 cash today and didn't let them do anything except brush his teeth in front of everyone. . The three of them were not found randomly. They must have an upright appearance, and the most important thing is that their teeth are neat and white.
Su Yu said and stepped aside. Behind her were three women, each holding a cup in their left hand and a toothbrush in their right hand. The toothbrush was stained with some green salt and they were brushing their teeth in front of everyone. The three of them were not brushing their teeth randomly. Su Yu had taught them the method before, and they all followed the instructions Su Yu had taught them before. They brushed their teeth in a 360-degree direction with no blind spots, and the brushing action looked good. Su Yu didn't even need to say anything, the people around him knew how effective the toothbrush in front of him was, and some couldn't help but ask.
"Girl, how do you sell this toothbrush?"
"Not expensive, only ten cents each."
"That's too expensive. I think your toothbrush is quite simple to make."
"You don't know. Although you can make toothbrushes at a glance, drilling holes and piercing hair are more difficult. My family only makes a lot of hard money."
Everyone present has eyes, especially the women who do needlework. They all know that this work is not easy to do, and besides, ten cents is not expensive. The person who spoke before was used to taking advantage of small things, but people in the town could still afford something worth ten cents.
"Boss, give me two."
"Don't panic, everyone, I'll introduce the brush next to you."
The three women who were brushing their teeth earlier took a wooden basin from the side. There was water in the wooden basin, and a piece of clothing was soaked in the water. There was a washboard placed diagonally inside the basin. The three women moved neatly and put the dirty clothes on the washboard. They put soap on it and started scrubbing. The stains on the dirty clothes were quickly scrubbed clean. .
"Aunts, you should wash your clothes every day at home. With this magical laundry machine of mine, you no longer have to rub it with your hands. In order not to hurt your delicate skin, twenty cents is not expensive. If you don't buy one, what will happen? Be worthy of your own hands."
Among the women in the crowd, none of them cook and do laundry at home. If they can easily clean the stains on their clothes like the three women just now without rubbing them with their hands, twenty cents is indeed a good deal. .
"Boss, give me ten toothbrushes and five brushes."
"Boss, bring me ten toothbrushes and two brushes, too."
"Boss, I want twenty toothbrushes and three brushes."
When Su Yu asked the villagers to make toothbrushes, he punched holes in the top of the handle, and tied every twenty toothbrushes with hemp rope. The same was true for the brushes. Twenty pieces in a string were easy to hold and remember. Now It doesn’t take much to count when it comes to selling.
"Everyone, the quality of my products is guaranteed. You can choose whatever you like. After you have made your selection, come to my place to line up and check out."
After Su Yu finished speaking, she sat down on the high stool prepared by the stall. She asked her father to make the stool. Sitting on it was about the same height as an adult man, to make up for her shortcomings. There is a small box on the leg specifically for money. When people came to check out in front of her, most of them didn't buy much. When she glanced at a few toothbrushes, Su Yu could tell her the amount of money. The speed shouldn't be too fast. The people checking out would be stunned. She thought to herself. , no wonder this shop lets a little girl do the accounting. With this ability, even the accountant who has been working as a clerk for several years will not be able to catch up.
On the other side, Mrs. Lian and Ms. Zhou stood at a high place at the entrance of the shop, staring at the stalls below to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos. The three men took the toothbrushes out of the backyard and poured them into the stall for people to choose from.
The division of labor among several people was clear, and anyone with eyes could see it. Some people who took advantage of the chaos to have their own thoughts gave up.
"Boss, bring me a thousand toothbrushes and two hundred brushes."
As soon as the man's voice fell, there was silence in front of the stall for a moment, and the people next to him couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
"These toothbrushes and brushes can't be used as food, why did you buy so many of them?"
"I want to buy it, I'm happy to, do you care?"
The man who kindly reminded him snorted coldly, but mistook his kindness for a donkey's liver and lungs.
"I have five hundred toothbrushes in a bag and two hundred brushes in a bag. Do you want to count them?"
"No, your shop is right here, I'm sorry you don't dare to lie to others."
Soon, the man paid the bill, picked up three sacks and hurried away.
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but make a sound.
"Isn't that the salesman Wang Mazi? Why did he buy so many?"
As soon as this person spoke, those who thought quickly figured it out quickly and threw the brush in his hand onto the stall.
"Boss, bring me five hundred toothbrushes and one hundred brushes."
If one person does this, there will be a second and a third, and the Su family's stall will become popular immediately.
The more people there are, the happier Su Yu is.
There were so many people in front of Su's shop, and the news spread from one person to another. Xinglin Town was not big to begin with, but it spread throughout the town in less than half a day. One big family even sent their own stewards to buy them, and they bought hundreds or even thousands of them at a time. By the afternoon, the goods that the Su family had saved for more than a month were sold out. When someone came to buy again and saw that they were sold out, they suddenly Regret endlessly.
