I don’t know how much time has passed, but I still haven’t sold a single copy.
Qi Xinlan was a little depressed. What went wrong? Why was the price too high? But she couldn't set the price too low. First, pork was expensive to begin with, and second, it would be unjust for her efforts. If it was too low, she might as well take it home and eat it herself.
In fact, it’s not that no one has tried it, but they all left because the price was too high.
"Lan Zi, how about we lower the price?" Li Tao was very anxious when she saw this. In fact, she could see that many people wanted to buy it, but because the price was too high, they all left.
"Sister-in-law, wait a moment, the people in the textile factory should be off work soon." Qi Xinlan looked up at the sky. These people probably weren't rich before they couldn't sell their products, but it was different for the people in the textile factory, they were paid salaries!
At this time, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit came towards them, holding a briefcase in his hand. He talked to a young man next to him from time to time. The young man nodded and bowed from time to time. It seemed that he was an important person.
"What is this? It smells so good?" The middle-aged man suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance and couldn't help but walked to Qi Xinlan and asked in a low voice.
"This is braised meat. You can try it. It's free. If it doesn't taste good, you can pay for it." Qi Xinlan took out a small plate, picked up a few pieces of meat, and handed it to the middle-aged uncle.
The middle-aged man put a piece of specially braised pork belly into his mouth, and the spicy and fragrant taste instantly exploded in his mouth. He didn't expect it to be so delicious, even better than what the chef of a state-owned restaurant made.
"Little girl, how much do you want for this?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Pork belly is one dollar and eighty cents per pound, and pork offal is one dollar per pound." Qi Xinlan replied.
"Director, is this delicious?" The young man next to her couldn't help asking. The aroma was too tempting. He stood there envious, but the girl didn't let him taste it, so he didn't dare to ask for it.
Qi Xinlan could see the desire in his eyes, so she picked up a few slices and gave them to the young man. The young man's eyes lit up after eating them, and he couldn't help but want to try the pork offal, so Qi Xinlan gave them all to him.
The old man and Aunt Sun next to them shook their heads when they saw this. How could they do business like this? They would lose money if they kept giving customers samples.
"How about this, I want all of these." said the middle-aged man.
"You want them all?" Qi Xinlan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to be so wealthy. But when she thought about the young man calling him factory director, she thought he must be rich.
"Yes, what's the problem?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I don't have a bag that big." Qi Xinlan replied. She wanted to sell it at a high price, and the people who came would probably just buy a little to try, so she didn't prepare such a big bag.
"It's okay. Just calculate how much this pot costs and I'll buy it together." The middle-aged man answered indifferently.
Qi Xinlan calculated the price, the middle-aged man paid the money, and let the young man take the basin away.
No one expected that this little girl would sell out her products as soon as she opened the shop without opening for a long time, and everyone was very envious.
"Little girl, I didn't expect that even a big boss like the factory director likes your braised pork. It must be delicious. Will you come to set up the stall tomorrow? I want to pre-order a pound first."
"Little girl, me too. I want to buy some pork offal. I can't afford pork belly, but pork offal is okay."
"Little girl, I want two pounds of pork belly..."
"Little girl, I want one too..."
Suddenly the crowd started talking at once, and Qi Xinlan felt a headache coming on. She could only patiently explain to them that she would definitely come back to sell the goods tomorrow, and if they wanted to make a reservation, they could pay a small deposit first. She registered the required quantity and home address, and planned to ask Qi Xinwei to come over to help and deliver the goods to their door tomorrow.
Li Tao was also very busy. Qi Xinlan registered and she came to collect the money. She felt that she had never collected so much money in her life.
After completing the registration, we discovered that they had registered two full pages!
Li Tao’s first reaction was that he had become rich!
"Hehe, little girl, please help me get half a pound tomorrow. I'll take it back for my grandson to try." The old man came over and said embarrassedly. He had just thought that the little girl would definitely not be able to sell it, and he would lower the price later. It's not that he couldn't afford it, but he didn't expect that someone would take away the basin with him.
"Little girl, I want some too. You should also bring me half a pound of pork offal. There were too many people just now and I couldn't squeeze in." Aunt Sun said with a smile.
"Okay, I've registered it. There's still some pork offal left in the jar. You and I can take it back and try it." Qi Xinlan scribbled a few words on the notebook, then fished out the remaining pork offal in the jar, packed it into two bags, and gave them to them.
"Then I won't be polite." Aunt Sun had already tasted it and knew how delicious it was, so she didn't refuse.
"Haha, then I won't be polite. You can come here to sell it tomorrow. I have plenty of space here." When the old man saw that Aunt Sun accepted it, he didn't refuse it. He looked at the braised meat in his hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Qi Xinlan said with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Grandpa and Aunt Sun, Qi Xinlan and Li Tao went to the slaughterhouse and bought 50 kilograms of pork and pork offal, as well as various chicken offal.
Li Tao was excited along the way, with red cheeks.
"Lanzi, today feels like a dream. I didn't expect everything to be sold out. Even the pots were taken away."
"Sister-in-law, we've only just started. Let's take a long-term view. When we make enough money, we'll open a shop in town, and you and your brother can come and sell it then." Qi Xinlan shook her head and smiled.
"We? Open a store? It's something I've never thought about." Li Tao widened her eyes and looked at Qi Xinlan in surprise.
"Haven't you thought about it? That won't work, sister-in-law, you have to start thinking about it now." Qi Xinlan said with a mischievous smile.
After returning home, Li Tao couldn't wait to find Qi Xinwei. She wanted to tell him the good news.
"What? Sold out? Even the basins were taken away?" After hearing this, Qi Xinwei suddenly stood up from the stool, his eyes wide in surprise.
"What? Sold out?" Zhao Lan was also very shocked.
"Ah? Really? Fake?" Qi Guohui looked incredulous, his hand that was smoking the pipe trembled, and he was almost burned by the pipe.
"Absolutely true! Look what this is?" Li Tao took out a stack of big unity money from her arms. She had been carrying this money all the way, and the money still had her warmth on it.
When they saw the huge pile of big unity on the table, they were all stunned!
"You don't know yet, right? Some people have already reserved a lot of goods from us. Look at these two pages of densely packed records." Seeing their shocked expressions, Li Tao couldn't help but take out the notebook and blast them.
When they saw words like "Aunt Li", "No. X Hutong Lane", "Half a Catty of Braised Pork Belly" written on the notebook, they were even more shocked and speechless.
Qi Xinlan ignored them and did some calculations with pen and paper. She sold 36 yuan of braised meat and 20 yuan of braised pork offal, a total of 56 yuan. After deducting 2 yuan for materials, she made a net profit of 54 yuan. She had 20 yuan left in miscellaneous profits, but she didn't count them for now.
"Is this not a dream? We earn more than a month's salary at the textile factory in just one day? Old man, pinch me," Zhao Lan murmured, looking at the money in her hand.
