Chapter 177 I advise you to quickly apologize to your father.
Yan Sui and Tian Xiangjuan's lotus flower stall business is not going well.
After a whole morning, less than thirty branches had been sold.
Although the beginning of autumn has passed, the weather is still hot.
If it gets in the sun any longer, the lotus flowers will wilt.
"Auntie, let's go home first."
Seeing that so many lotus flowers were still left, Tian Xiangjuan couldn't help but sigh.
If they hadn't brought ice packs to cool and preserve the lotus flowers, they would have withered long ago.
"Then let's go back for lunch first, and come back in the afternoon."
Yan Sui pursed her lips. "Why don't I come by myself? You're going through too much trouble."
“It’s not hard work at all. We earned almost 600 yuan this morning, which is quite a lot.”
Yan Sui thought about it and agreed, so she said no more.
The two worked hard all afternoon, and their sales finally exceeded 1,000 yuan, which made Tian Xiangjuan very satisfied.
There were still some lotus flowers left unsold, and Yan Sui didn't want to keep them overnight, so she randomly selected some local fans to give them away.
Tian Xiangjuan looked heartbroken; how much money had she given away in the blink of an eye?
Yan Sui couldn't help but chuckle, "Auntie, lotus flowers can certainly be sold after they've been stored overnight, but they won't be as fresh. Giving them to our fans is like giving ourselves free advertising."
After sending all the packages, Yan Sui went out to find Tian Tian.
Unexpectedly, she was still busy working in the store.
"You haven't been busy since this morning, have you?"
Sweetie looked tired, but her spirits were high.
"I was planning to call it a day after finishing the orders for the villagers and tourists, but then I got a big order!"
She posted a picture of the finished product online, and people immediately started asking about it.
However, the fact that they could only do orders within the same city deterred many people.
"The order I have here is for a local customer, it's for tomorrow, a large bouquet of 99 flowers, and I've already paid the deposit."
She plans to stay up all night to finish it and deliver it to someone first thing tomorrow morning.
Yan Sui smiled and praised, "Not bad, you received a big order on the first day of opening."
"Not only that, besides this big order, I sold a total of 176 lotus flowers today!"
Part of the patronage came from local villagers, but the majority were tourists.
Sweetie believes this is just the beginning, and things will only get better from here on out.
Yan Sui exclaimed in surprise, "That's great! We sell more than we do when we set up a stall in town."
Sweetie blushed as she was praised, "I didn't expect that either."
Today's good start has strengthened her resolve in making her choice and given her more confidence in the future.
However, with so many flowers in the lotus pond, no matter how hard she tries, she can't sell too many.
“Sister Yan Sui, we can’t sell much by ourselves. Why don’t we let the villagers sell together?”
"Oh?" Yan Sui casually pulled up a chair and sat down to listen to her explain in detail.
Sweetie also got her inspiration from today's opening; many hands make light work.
Currently, Yan Sui only collaborates with three flower shops, none of which are large in scale. Even with all their efforts, they are unable to absorb all the cut flowers in the entire lotus pond.
“There are many elderly people left behind in Changqing Village. We let them go out and set up stalls. We take the goods first and then pay them after they sell them.”
After thinking about it for a while, Yan Sui felt that this method was indeed feasible.
"Okay, I'll talk to everyone about it tomorrow."
For those willing to sell lotus flowers, the wholesale price is a uniform 12 yuan.
The next morning, Yan Sui received a call from Boss Zou.
"Miss Yan, I'd like to order another three thousand branches today. Could you deliver them?"
Yan Sui: "?"
"Didn't Boss Zou order five hundred stems yesterday?"
"Yes, add to the 500-piece order! It's an urgent order, so it needs to be delivered today."
This order was unexpected by Mr. Zou.
The florist recently received an order for wedding venue decoration, with roses as the main flower.
But she came to the store yesterday and bought a bunch of lotus flowers. This morning she called and wanted to add three thousand lotus flowers to her wedding tomorrow.
If there's money to be made, Yan Sui naturally won't refuse.
"Sure, but it will probably take until the afternoon to deliver it."
Boss Zou breathed a sigh of relief. This was a regular customer of the store, and she really didn't dare to neglect her.
She was relieved when she heard Yan Sui agree.
"Thank you, Miss Yan."
Yan Sui chuckled, "Mr. Zou, you're the one who should be thanking me for patronizing my business."
She looked somewhat dazed after hanging up the phone.
With these orders for 3,000 branches, the lotus pond needs a few days to recover.
She planted her lotus flowers late, so their peak blooming period will be delayed.
After a while, picking several thousand branches a day will not be a problem at all.
Yesterday we were thinking of having everyone set up stalls in town, but it seems we'll have to put that on hold for now.
After washing up, Yan Sui ran to find Song Yuxia without even having breakfast.
Upon hearing that three thousand branches were required, Song Yuxia's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Why did Mr. Zou order so much at once?"
"It's normal to need a lot for wedding setup; you should hurry up and arrange for people to do the work."
Song Yuxia dared not delay any longer and hurriedly went to call for help.
The temporary workers we hired were paid by the hour; the more they worked, the more they earned, so everyone was eager to start work as soon as possible.
Besides Mr. Zou, the other two flower shops also placed additional orders.
Four thousand lotus flowers were sold in one day, which exceeded Yan Sui's expectations.
This doesn't even include the sweet flower shop.
Tian Xiangjuan was unaware that Hetang had received a large order. She planned to set off early today to sell more.
"Sui Sui, you can rest at home today. Your aunt can go set up the stall by herself."
But then Yan Sui said, "Auntie, don't go today. I just got a big order. If you really can't stay idle, then help me cut the lotus flowers."
Upon hearing that she had received a big order, Tian Xiangjuan immediately became incredibly excited.
"I'm going to help out at the lotus pond. How much do you need to cut?"
"Four thousand! That doesn't even include what Tian Tian wanted. She sold quite a lot yesterday, and she definitely won't ask for less today."
Upon hearing that so much was needed, Tian Xiangjuan was overjoyed and immediately went to work.
While they were cutting lotus flowers, Yan Sui was also busy packing them up with everyone.
Ten lotus flowers in a styrofoam box; my hands were practically blurring out afterimages as I swung them around.
During halftime, Tian Tian rushed over.
"Sister Yan Sui, what should we do!"
Yan Sui quickly stood up. "What's wrong?"
Shi Laoliu originally wanted to come and take a look to see how well Yan Sui's lotus flowers were selling.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I saw Sweetie running over in a panic.
He chuckled gloatingly, "Your flower shop is going out of business, isn't it? I advise you to apologize to your dad and go home to take the civil service exam! Even if you don't pass, it's better to find a reliable partner, get married, and have children than to waste your time in the countryside."
Sweetie glared at him fiercely, "You're dreaming! My dad is willing to be your blood bag, I will never let Shi Haochi take advantage of me in the slightest!"
Old Shi's face changed drastically, and he looked at Tian Tian imperiously, saying, "You ill-mannered brat, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your father today!"
As he spoke, he strode toward Tian Tian with a ferocious expression.
As soon as he moved, the villagers who were working stood up and shielded Tian Tian behind them.
"What are you trying to do, Shi Laoliu?"
"You're hitting people in front of us? Do you think we're dead?"
"Who do you think you are, trying to teach her a lesson on behalf of her father? You should go home and look in the mirror!"
Old Shi's lips twitched. "I'm her uncle, why can't I discipline her!"
Aunt Ruan shoved him away roughly, saying, "She didn't say anything wrong, so what right do you have to lecture her? Get out! If you keep delaying our work, I'll get rough with you."
Yan Sui ignored Shi Laoliu and turned to look at Tian Tian.
"Why did you come in such a hurry? Is something the matter?"
Sweetie then remembered the important matter and hurriedly said, "Sister Yan Sui, the store has received so many orders, I can't keep up at all, what should we do!"
Yan Sui: "..." You know Versailles.
