The next morning, Shen Xiaobei drove and took Shen Mingzhu and Ke Xiaoli around the streets of Beijing.
Let them get familiar with the environment and check out other people’s big bowl tea stalls.
Try the tea brewed by others to see how it tastes, what price it is sold at, and which places have a lot of traffic to avoid being beaten to it by others.
After walking around for a while, the three of them had already determined the location.
In the afternoon, Shen Xiaobei asked the two of them to rest at home and play with the children, and she went out alone to purchase items for selling big bowl tea.
Thinking that it was not convenient to use a bicycle to carry the tea bucket, Shen Xiaobei decisively bought a pedal tricycle.
Having a tricycle will make it convenient for Gao Hongmian and Duan Donglin to buy fabrics and other materials in the future. Anyway, they will be able to use them in the future, so it won't be a waste.
After buying the tricycle, she went to buy two large tea buckets.
Then, he secretly took out dozens of cans of tea and bowls from the space, pretending that he had bought them outside, and rode the tricycle back to the courtyard.
Ke Xiaoli and Shen Mingzhu were very touched when they saw that Shen Xiaobei had bought something as big as a tricycle to help them set up a stall.
"Sister Xiaobei, Mingzhu and I will definitely run our stall well and will not let you down for all the money you spent on us!"
"Okay, do a good job!"
"Although it's a small business, a bowl of tea costs 2 cents, so 100 bowls can be sold for 2 yuan. If you can sell an average of 200 bowls a day, the monthly gross profit will be over 100 yuan. Small amounts add up to a lot, which is not bad."
"Sister Xiaobei, don't worry, we will strive to sell at least 200 bowls a day! Isn't that right, Mingzhu?"
"It hasn't even started selling yet, how can I guarantee that?"
"We have to set a goal first. Anyway, my goal is to sell at least 200 bowls a day. If I don't sell that much, I won't come back!"
"Well, our Xiaoli is still ambitious. Sister Xiaobei believes that you can achieve your goal."
"Hehe, thank you for the encouragement, Sister Xiaobei!"
Seeing Shen Xiaobei praising Ke Xiaoli again, Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at them jealously.
She didn't make any big promises, but she didn't give in in her heart.
It’s just selling 200 bowls of tea a day. With so many people coming and going on the streets of Beijing, she doesn’t believe that she can’t sell this number!
Early the next morning, Aunt Zhao was the first to get up, followed by Ke Xiaoli and Shen Mingzhu. After washing up, they prepared to start making tea.
To fill the two large tea barrels that Shen Xiaobei bought, he had to make several pots of tea.
These pots of tea were worth at least a few hundred bowls. Both of them were a little greedy and wanted to make more, fill two buckets with it, and then sell them all.
Shen Xiaobei originally wanted to tell them not to cook so much on the first day, to see the market first, and then cook more tomorrow as appropriate.
However, seeing that they were both so ambitious, she let them go. After all, the tea and water had no cost, so there was no need to worry about them not being sold out and wasting them.
After having breakfast with everyone in the courtyard, the two of them set off in high spirits on their tricycles loaded with tea, water, folding tables and chairs.
Ma Deliang found two tutoring jobs yesterday afternoon, not far from the courtyard. He also went out with Ke Xiaoli and Shen Mingzhu.
Looking at these two young girls, they are not afraid of hardship and are proud of their status as college students. They are so open and happy to set up a tea stall on the street.
He walked behind them, silently smiling in appreciation.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Xiaobei, Gao Hongmian and Duan Donglin all returned from the magazine office and the tailor shop. When they came back, Ke Xiaoli and Shen Mingzhu had not returned yet.
Gao Hongmian couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Xiaobei, why haven't Mingzhu and Xiaoli come back yet? Could they have gone too far to sell and couldn't find their way back?"
"Haha, sister-in-law, no, Mingzhu might be confused and not remember the way very well, but Xiaoli won't. Maybe they haven't sold much tea yet and want to sell more before coming back. Don't worry."
"There's no need for these two girls to be so stubborn! We won't laugh at them if they sell less."
"It's okay, sister-in-law. It's good for girls to be a little strong. Being strong can make their lives better! Haha, I still admire them for going out early and coming back late, like they are doing business!"
"Yeah, they're all like you, very ambitious..."
"We're back—"
When the two were talking about Ke Xiaoli and Shen Mingzhu, their voices were heard at the door.
Listening to the voice, it was quite joyful. Shen Xiaobei guessed that their performance today must be good.
"Mingzhu, Xiaoli, you're back! How's it going? It's your first day out on the stall. Are you tired? How are your sales?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm not tired. Guess how many bowls of tea we sold today?"
"Uh, let me check the tea bucket first."
"No, sister-in-law! Don't look at the tea bucket yet, guess a number first! Sister Xiaobei, Brother Duan, guess how many bowls of tea Mingzhu and I have sold today? Let's see who can guess the closest!"
After Ke Xiaoli and Shen Mingzhu pushed the tricycle into the yard, they forbade anyone to open the tea bucket to see how much tea was left.
Instead, he had a happy and mysterious smile on his face and asked the three of them to guess first.
"This girl is still acting like a child. Okay, okay, okay, then sister-in-law will guess first! Uh... seeing how happy you and Mingzhu are, I think you should have sold 200 bowls, right?"
"I think it's probably more than that. Maybe 300 bowls were sold?"
"Sister Xiaobei, guess how much?"
