Chapter 263 Selling corn!
After the corn on the farm was ready to eat, Qin Zhizhi asked her eldest daughter-in-law, Sun, to sell boiled corn in front of the milk tea shop, at 20 cents for half a corn.
"Second Aunt, you are good at speaking and efficient, you can give it a try."
Sun asked excitedly, "Zhizhi, do you really think I can do it?"
"Of course, Second Aunt, I have high hopes for you."
When Sun heard Qin Zhizhi say that she had high hopes for her, she mustered up the courage to agree and said, "Don't worry, Zhizhi, I will definitely do a good job on this."
"That's right. The corn is grown on our farm. You can pick as much as you need directly from the farm. The cost of one corn is ten cents, and you can sell it for twenty cents, making a net profit of ten cents."
Qin Zhizhi wanted her uncle's family to make more money, so she wanted them to try selling corn.
"Oh my God, Zhizhi, isn't it too expensive? Ten cents for half a stick, is there really anyone who would buy it?" Sun asked in surprise.
"If Zhizhi says it's okay, it's definitely okay. This is an opportunity Zhizhi has given our family, so you must do it well."
The uncle was there too. Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law's surprised look, he took over Qin Zhizhi's words.
"Dad, don't worry, I will do my best. I was just a little surprised."
Sun quickly promised that she would do a good job.
"Uncle, if you're so nervous, just let Second Aunt try it first. It's right at the milk tea shop, and Third Uncle will help if anything happens."
Qin Zhizhi believes that only by trying anything can you know the result, and she encourages her family to give it a try.
"Zhizhi, I'll listen to you. When can I go sell it?"
Sun suddenly became a little impatient. They were living on the farm now, and her father-in-law said that they also wanted to buy a house.
The business Zhizhi offered her was profitable, so she was willing to go. Her husband also made a lot of money building roads with the construction team.
Qin Zhizhi also assigned tasks to her sons. If they worked together, they would be able to buy a house soon.
"Second Aunt, we'll open tomorrow. The corn can be picked in the morning and then brought to the backyard of the milk tea shop. We'll try to sell it all on the same day, not overnight."
"Zhizhi, I know!"
"Tomorrow is the first day. Let my uncle drive the cart to deliver the corn to your milk tea shop. I'll tell my third uncle when I get home today. Don't worry, second aunt."
Qin Zhizhi arranged everything for her before returning from the farm. She also went to the Qin family to say hello to her third uncle.
The next day, when Sun got up.
Her father-in-law, second uncle and third uncle had already helped her pick the corn and even peeled it.
Sun was very touched and said a little embarrassedly, "Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, thank you for your hard work. I got up late."
"We are old and can't sleep. You have a lot of work to do today. When you open the stall in the future, we will help you pick and peel the corn."
The uncle was very supportive of his eldest daughter-in-law setting up a stall, and he and his second and third brothers got up early in the morning to get busy.
"Thank you, Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle!" Sun was very moved.
"We're all family, why be so polite? I'll have the boss drive you there later."
Old Man Qin hopes more than anyone else that his eldest and second brothers' families will live better and better lives.
"Hey, I'll pack up and leave."
Sun hurried to clean up. Qin Zhizhi had said that when selling food, one must clean up neatly and tidyly.
Qin Shan and Qin He helped load the corn onto the carriage. After Sun had packed up, Qin Shan drove off in the carriage.
On the way to the milk tea shop, Sun was somewhat nervous. Although she had worked in a workshop before, this was her first time selling things.
The carriage stopped at the backyard door of the milk tea shop, and Qin Jiang was waiting at the door early.
"Brother, cousin, you are here!"
"Sixth brother, I'm sorry to trouble you today!" Sun was still a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Zhizhi explained everything to me yesterday. You can buy it without worry. Today is the first day. I will help you open the store later."
After about a year of training, Qin Jiang now has his own experience in doing business.
After his niece told him about selling corn today, he had his own ideas.
"That's great! I was worried all this time for nothing."
Hearing that Qin Jiang was there to help, Sun felt more relieved.
"Third brother, come and help me. Let's move this corn to the backyard first." Qin Shan called Qin Jiang to come and help carry the corn.
"Brother, here I come!"
Qin Jiang got on the carriage swiftly and, together with his elder brother, moved the corn down quickly.
Several baskets of corn were quickly moved. Sun wanted to help, but was rejected by the two brothers.
"Sister-in-law, you should take a rest first. My brother and I have plenty of energy."
After unloading the corn, Qin Shan and Qin Jiang helped to light the stove while one helped to fetch water to wash and cut the corn.
The three of them worked for a while before they got everything done. Seeing that there was no one else who needed help, Qin Shan drove the carriage back.
The fire is lit, and corn is put into the pot to cook. Soon the aroma of corn wafts out.
Whether it is a milk tea shop or a beauty salon, customers have started to arrive one after another.
Both shops were owned by the family, so naturally no one would chase Mr. Sun away. When Qin Qinglin knew that it was Mr. Sun who was selling corn, he came over to greet him.
"Hey sister, what are you cooking in this pot? It smells so good!"
A woman came to buy milk tea and was very tempted by the corn sold by Sun.
"Madam, this is the early corn we planted on our farm. Today is the first day of trial sales. It tastes good. Would you like to buy half to try?"
When Qin Jiang saw someone asking, he quickly stepped forward to introduce. The woman often came to buy milk tea, so she naturally knew Qin Jiang. She was very tempted by his recommendation.
After asking the price, I bought half a stick to try. It was soft, sweet and delicious. I was very surprised and couldn't wait to eat a few more bites.
"Big sister, give me two more so I can take them home for my kids."
"Okay!" Qin Jiang quickly packed two for her, and the woman went to queue happily.
Sun was dumbfounded watching from the side. It was sold for only sixty cents. People in the capital were too rich. They didn't even bargain.
"Sister-in-law, look, that's all."
Sun nodded and made up his mind that he must sell it well because it was very profitable.
After a while, another customer came to buy something. This time, Qin Jiang asked Sun to come forward and he helped collect the money.
After selling the first one, Sun's confidence increased greatly, and he sold a few more. Qin Jiang saw that Sun could do it himself and said.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go get some corn from the backyard. I'll leave this to you!"
"Sixth brother, just go ahead and get busy!" Sun was now full of confidence.
Seeing that Sun was in good condition, Qin Jiang went to the back to get busy without any worries.
Before the sun set in the afternoon, all the corn in the cart that Sun brought in the morning was sold out.
A total of six taels of silver were sold. Excluding the cost that Qin Zhizhi had agreed upon, she made a net profit of three taels a day. Sun couldn't believe it.
After saying goodbye to Qin Jiang, Sun got on the carriage arranged by Qin Jiang and excitedly returned to the farm.
