Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
After returning home, Jiang Ning calculated that he had earned a total of twenty-six yuan, sixty-five cents from selling skewers today.
It's a good start.
Jiang Weimin looked happy: "Ning girl, how is it? Can this skewers survive in Jiangcheng? It sold so well on the first day today, I am becoming more and more confident."
Chen Yan, on the other hand, had a serious expression on his face. "Today is the first day, so it's still okay for now, but we've already opened up the market here and accumulated customers, so no matter what new products we make, old customers will definitely come and try them. After all, our brand is here, so we can't take it lightly."
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Yan is right. The reason why we sell well here is because we have old customers. So when we go to Jiangcheng to do business, we still have to be cautious. We also have to be mentally prepared for the possibility of poor sales."
At first, Jiang Weimin saw that the skewers sold so well on the first day, so he was full of confidence in doing business in Jiangcheng, thinking that going to Jiangcheng would be as easy as here.
But what Jiang Ning and the others said made sense and was correct.
After all, they have been doing business here for so long, and everyone recognizes their dishes, so no matter what new products they make, they will definitely have no trouble selling them.
But when you go to Jiangcheng, it’s a completely new place.
It's a brand new beginning for them.
Jiang Weimin instantly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
The whole person was visibly withered.
Jiang Ning saw Jiang Weimin's expression and knew that what they said had hit him hard.
In order not to dampen Jiang Weimin's enthusiasm, she added, "Brother, don't worry too much. We've only prepared for the worst, but it's actually not that difficult. Think about it, we didn't develop slowly when we first started here. It just takes time. You don't have to be so pessimistic."
Chen Yan, standing beside him, nodded as well. "Yes, second brother. It was much harder back then than it is now. We've come this far step by step without knowing anything. Don't worry too much."
Jiang Weimin was an optimist to begin with. After hearing what Jiang Ning and Chen Yan said, he instantly became full of hope for Jiang Cheng's skewers business.
He nodded: "Don't worry, I get it. It was so difficult back then, but you all persevered. I believe we can persevere if we go to Jiangcheng together. After all, you have one more person now."
Jiang Xiaomei, standing by, said, not to be outdone: "Yes, we are all here this time. But, second brother, did you not count yourself? There are obviously four of us. It doesn't matter, I'll include you."
Jiang Weimin was unusually silent in the face of Jiang Xiaomei's sharp words.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw them.
Jiang Jianguo, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked, "Ning girl, should we continue selling skewers tomorrow?"
Jiang Ning nodded. "Yeah, wouldn't it be foolish not to make money?"
Jiang Jianguo smiled innocently, "Of course we have to make money. Fine, let your second brother and I go buy groceries tomorrow, so Chen Yan doesn't have to make another trip."
"Okay, no problem." Chen Yan nodded.
Jiang Jianguo added, "I have another idea. Is it feasible?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Brother, what are your thoughts? It's okay, just tell us."
Jiang Jianguo said cautiously, "It's like this. I see that the skewers business is pretty good today, so I thought if the skewers business is so good, we can also sell skewers in the future. What do you think?"
Jiang Weimin thought it was a good idea, but his elder brother and his family would be too busy to handle it, so he said, "Brother, this is a good idea, but we don't have enough people to help. You and your sister-in-law can't handle it, right?"
In fact, Jiang Ning also felt that his elder brother would definitely be too busy to handle so many things.
Recruiting people is an unrealistic problem in the current situation.
But the idea proposed by my brother is very good.
They need money in many places now. After the reform and opening up, if Jiang Ning needs to open a store, he will need financial support.
It's impossible for her not to be tempted by this extra opportunity to make money.
But there are only my eldest brother and his wife at home, so they are really too busy.
"Brother, your idea is good, but if we leave, it will be just you and sister-in-law. You have to braise the dishes during the day and sell them at night. Now you want to add skewers. I'm afraid you can't handle it."
"I know I will be very tired, but it's still not as tiring as working in the fields. I want to give it a try. If I really can't handle it, I will stop selling skewers and only sell braised dishes. Don't worry, I promise it won't affect the braised dish business."
Jiang Jianguo thought Jiang Ning refused because he was afraid of delaying the braised food business.
Jiang Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that her elder brother had misunderstood her.
"Brother, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you and your sister-in-law are too tired."
"Ning girl, we are not afraid of being tired..."
Jiang Jianguo wanted to say something else but was interrupted by his wife.
"Oh, Jianguo, you're always dithering and never get to the point! Ning girl, just let your big brother try. We'd be a little reluctant to let you stop doing such a lucrative business. We used to work hard in the fields all day long, but even a year of hard work wouldn't earn us as much as we do in a month now. We want to make more money now while we can."
Liu Zhaodi paused and continued, "We've all been through hardship, so we're not afraid of it. You'll need money a lot in the future, and we're all family, so we want to help you out. Your eldest brother also wants to focus on selling braised dishes, with a small amount of skewers. Braised dishes will still be the main focus. Do you think that's okay?"
Jiang Jianguo, standing by, nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, your sister-in-law is right, Ning girl. That's exactly what I meant."
Jiang Ning looked at Jiang Jianguo and couldn't help but smile. "Alright, big brother. I understand. Then you guys give it a try. If you really can't handle it, then we should just focus on selling braised dishes."
Jiang Jianguo looked beaming. "Okay, okay, no problem. It's a deal then."
Before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Ning and his friends had been coming to the city to buy skewers. Their business was good every day. Although the prices were a bit high, there were still many people willing to pay. So in just a few days, they made a lot of money. After throwing away the gross profit, they could make thirty or forty yuan a day from skewers alone.
Seeing that they could make so much money every day, Jiang Weimin's confidence grew stronger and stronger. He believed that as long as they were willing to work hard, they would be able to do well in Jiangcheng.
