Aunt Xiao's daughter came on Saturday morning and even called a small truck. It was obvious that she was financially strong.
Aunt Xiao's daughter hurriedly had all the boxes and cabinets that Aunt Xiao had used for most of her life moved into the car. It was obvious from her attitude that she would not be coming back.
Lin Xiaoman chatted with her for a few minutes, and then they became close and started chatting.
Aunt Xiao's daughter is Xiao Lijuan, a strong woman. Taking advantage of the reform and opening up, she made a decisive move to start a business. She has made a lot of money over the years, so she doesn't have to worry about her in-laws and can make all the decisions at home.
Xiao Lijuan said that Aunt Xiao would definitely stay in the city and live with her, and the house would definitely be sold, so they could prepare the money if they wanted to buy it.
Since they got along well, Xiao Lijuan also hinted to Lin Xiaoman that if he wanted to make money, he had to do business.
Lin Xiaoman pretended to be educated like Xiaobai.
After lunch, Xiao Lijuan took Aunt Xiao away.
At around 1:00 p.m., Lan Yachun and Mu Huaqiang came over. Lin Xiaoman briefly explained the situation to them and then asked them to go and make furniture.
He simply built a bed, cabinets, tables, stools, etc. and placed them in the house. There were no illegal buildings in those days. At Lin Xiaoman's suggestion, he asked someone to build a shed in the open space in the yard, put shelves and containers in it, and used it as a shop. All the cheap things were sold in the yard, and the more expensive ones were placed in the main room.
It took three days to complete the preparations.
I looked at the calendar and picked a day. It was a beautiful day. In the morning, I bought some firecrackers and set them off. I hung a plaque with the words "Mu's Grocery Store" on the gate of the yard and distributed candies at the door for a while. The grocery store was officially opened.
After the grocery store opened, Lan Yachun and Mu Huaqiang took Mu Xiaole to live in the city. They lived in the big room and there were two beds in the small room. Now Mu Xiaoxiao also goes directly back to the grocery store after school. Lin Xiaoman sometimes lives in town and sometimes goes back to the countryside.
Because the grocery store has a wide range of goods and is located in the center of the town, it has done brisk business since opening.
Small daily necessities may look cheap, but the profits are actually high. Don’t the bosses of Yiwu make their fortunes by selling small items wholesale?
Of course, you can’t make money by just doing retail in one store.
To make big money, one still has to rely on wholesale and make a profit by being a middleman. Although Lin Xiaoman is very good at this, he is afraid that he will not be able to cope with it when the original owner comes back. Lin Xiaoman is not planning to do wholesale, but to focus on technology!
Her goals: Fuling, Lao Gan Ma, and the demolition generation.
The grocery store mainly sells daily necessities, but Lan Yachun has not given up on selling vegetables, and her business is getting bigger and bigger.
At first, they only sold their own vegetables, but after the villagers learned that they opened a grocery store in the town, they started to barter vegetables.
If a family in the village needed something, they would trade vegetables for it. Relatives and neighbors would come to Wang Cuifen to discuss the matter. She would visit the other family's home to inspect the vegetables, select the quantity, and if they were willing, she would pick them the morning Mu Weimin delivered them to town. Then, when Mu Weimin returned, she would bring back the item they wanted. If the item was a bit expensive, she would pick a few days' worth of vegetables to compensate.
For the villagers, their own vegetables will go bad if they cannot be eaten. If they go to the town to sell them, on the one hand, the distance is too far, and on the other hand, the quantity is not enough, so it is not cost-effective to make a trip.
There is Wang Cuifen's "purchase". Although what is exchanged is daily necessities, daily necessities also need money to buy. If you exchange them for vegetables, doesn't that save money?
After doing this, I not only bought vegetables at a low price but also sold things, making money twice.
After pretending to do some research, Lin Xiaoman first introduced his most famous pickled mustard greens, which were sold by weight as cooked dishes.
At the beginning, the sales of pickled mustard tubers were quite poor.
However, a few days later, the owner of the noodle shop next door had a keen eye for good goods. After buying some to try, she bought the whole shop and even ordered a lot more.
After the noodle shop owner buys the pickled mustard greens, she simply processes them and makes delicious pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles.
Customers who like to eat pickled mustard greens and shredded pork noodles often ask, "Where do you buy the pickled mustard greens?" The noodle shop owner is not shy and always tells you directly, "From the Mu Family Grocery Store next door."
The noodle shop owner also had a business mind. She thought the product was good, so she approached Lin Xiaoman to discuss becoming a "distributor" and would give her a wholesale price if she bought in large quantities.
Lin Xiaoman was of course happy about this.
With the noodle shop acting as a living advertisement, customers who have tasted the flavor and like it will come to buy some, to eat with porridge in the morning, or even with rice when there is no other dish.
From then on, pickled mustard tuber began to sell well.
Then, Lin Xiaoman would make pickled garlic, pickled radish, pickled cabbage... anything that could be pickled in the fields would be pickled. When there was no vegetable sauce, Lin Xiaoman would make pickled tofu, which could be eaten as a snack or with porridge. In the future, when the technology is advanced, it could also be vacuum-packed. Perfect!
The grocery store has set up a special area to sell pickles. People who come to buy daily groceries sometimes buy some pickles as well, and people who come to buy pickles sometimes buy some daily necessities as well... It's a virtuous cycle, and business is getting better and better.
From time to time, Mu Huaqiang would ride his tricycle to purchase goods.
In the blink of an eye, autumn has passed and winter has come. After New Year's Day, the Spring Festival will soon be here.
Lin Xiaoman, who planned to become a "demolition generation", went to the city with Mu Xiaoxiao after her vacation, and then took a bus to Hai City.
