Right now, there really is no better way, so everyone just listens to Boss He and everyone takes turns lowering the price as he says.
People tend to like to get a bargain, so whoever lowers the price will have better business. During the days when the price is lowered, one can still make some money, which is better than having few customers all day long.
But they didn't know that Boss He was keeping it a secret and didn't tell them.
Jiang Sui didn't know yet that these small bosses were planning to target her family, but in her opinion, she had enough confidence to stabilize her business.
There are not as many people in the afternoon as in the morning. After all, among the three meals a day, the evening meal must be eaten well, and noodles are only considered to be eaten in the morning and at noon.
At dusk, the sunset glow filled the sky and a red sun set in the west.
After putting the chairs and benches on the stall in place and storing the pots, pans, and utensils into the compartment, the family drove the ox cart back home.
At home, Zhou and Xiao Lanlan were already preparing dinner, and they would start eating when Xiao's mother and others came home.
At the end of the day, the two of them had dried a lot of sweet potato vermicelli at home. They will dry some more tomorrow morning and make sweet potato skins in the afternoon.
The fact that it wasn't raining made it convenient for them to dry things. The sun in June was very scorching, and the vermicelli could be dried in two days.
When they got home, Xiao's mother, Jiang Sui, Xiao Hechuan and Xiao Yi, the four of them had been busy all day and only had a bowl of noodles each for lunch. When they saw the steamed buns and corn bread after arriving home, they realized that their stomachs were growling with hunger.
It has been a long time since she was so busy. Xiao's mother rubbed her waist and felt that cooking noodles for a whole day was more tiring than digging in the vegetable garden for a whole day. Her back and waist ached.
After dinner, she took out her coin basket and poured all the copper coins inside onto the table. The crackling sound made people feel happy both physically and mentally.
The whole family sat around the table, looking at the copper coins on the table. They felt so satisfied, and everyone had a bright smile on their face.
After counting, I found that I had earned a total of 630 coins for the whole day, and sold more than 120 bowls of noodles in total.
But this was also within Jiang Sui's expectations, she knew what was going on.
My original goal was to sell a minimum of 30 bowls a day, but it seems that the minimum can be raised in the future.
"Oh my god, you can sell so much in one day? That would be more than ten taels of silver in a month."
Zhou counted on her fingers, her face full of disbelief.
She couldn't even imagine earning so much in a month.
Seeing Zhou's expression, Xiao's mother couldn't help but laugh at her:
"You're dreaming. How can we make so much money every day? The reason we made so much money today is because Sui Sui came up with an idea. During the first three days of opening, all meat noodles were sold at five cents a bowl. That's why we attracted so many customers to eat.
Three days later, the price will return to the original one, and business will not be so good. But your fourth sister-in-law is smart and has come up with the idea of offering free green bean soup. I guess business will not be too bad by then."
Xiao's mother looked at Jiang Sui with eyes full of approval and affirmation.
The best thing she had ever done in her life was to make up her mind to welcome Jiang Sui into her home. In just over two months, he brought a lot of good luck to their family.
Zhou heard what Xiao's mother said and nodded stupidly:
"Is that so? Oh, it's my fault for not having seen much of the world. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make a fortune on my own. I really can't compare to my fourth brother and his wife."
She scratched her head embarrassedly, but her mind became more determined, that is, she had to get along well with her fourth brother's wife.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are so awesome. Our family is blessed to have you." Xiao Lanlan also joined the team praising Jiang Sui and gave her a thumbs up.
The more she got along with Jiang Sui, the more she felt that Jiang Sui was not an ordinary person and that she could really learn something from being with her.
Jiang Sui felt uncomfortable when he was praised by them. If he were a little more narcissistic, he would probably get carried away.
"How can I be as good as you say? Let's not be too happy too soon. They have taken over all the business on the street today. I think Boss He is not someone who can just sit there and wait for death. He might come up with some ideas to squeeze us. We have to wait and see what actions they will take. The mall is like a battlefield, and everyone fights for their own interests. In order to ensure their own stable income, they will definitely take some actions. We have to take precautions before it happens."
Jiang Sui is a person who always thinks of danger in times of peace, and she is also very cautious when it comes to interests.
"Sui Sui is right. Boss He was obviously unkind to us this morning. He looked mean and might be up to no good. Third brother, you should keep an eye on us during the day to make sure he doesn't take advantage of us."
Xiao's mother also thought of this, but she and Jiang Sui were busy with the business during the day and might not have the energy to pay attention to these things. Xiao Yi was in charge of the business, so this matter was left to him.
Xiao Yi accepted the task and answered seriously:
"Don't worry, mother. With me here, nothing will go wrong." He patted his chest and spoke righteously.
Seeing this, Xiao Hechuan was also eager to express his opinion. He was also a man of the Xiao family and wanted to protect his mother and wife.
"And here I am, mother and wife. I will protect you."
Xiao Hechuan's pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes looked so clear and pure, but his expression was firm and serious, as if he was going to join the party.
Everyone was amused by his appearance, and Xiao's mother even touched his head lovingly and said with a smile:
"Our Hechuan is the most sensible one."
…
The next day, I set up the stall as usual. When I just arrived in the town, I was still making preparations when customers already arrived.
Fortunately, the bone broth was cooked at home the night before and brought directly to town the next day. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to cook the broth now and would also affect business.
Those who came were all residents living near the snack street. Several middle-aged ladies each brought two bowls and prepared to pack them up to take home.
While waiting for the water to boil, they chatted with Xiao's mother:
"The hot and sour noodles you have are really appetizing. My little grandson doesn't like to eat properly on weekdays. He always needs to be coaxed and chased to feed him. It worries me to death. But yesterday, he tasted two mouthfuls of the hot and sour noodles. The kid got the taste right away and started asking for more last night. So I came here early in the morning to wait for you to open the stall to buy some noodles to take back."
"Oh, what a coincidence! My unborn grandson wants to eat this too. My daughter-in-law is pregnant and is having morning sickness. She likes sour food and has vomited for a while. She hasn't eaten properly. After eating this hot and sour noodle yesterday, her appetite suddenly opened up and she wanted to eat. She even drank up all the soup. Look, she told me this morning that she wanted to eat again, so I came here early to wait for her."
The two old ladies' eyes were narrowed into slits from laughing. These grandmothers love their little grandchildren and treat them like their own precious eyes.
