Seeing the old lady happily counting her money, Qiao Xiaoni didn't want to disturb her enjoyment, so she didn't reveal the amount. After gathering her emotions, she told everyone...
"All the vegetable pancakes were sold out today, eight cents each. The basket I brought was also sold for three dollars. The extra money came from a fox pelt I bought with someone, and they gave me the difference of six dollars."
Tao Chunfang counted on her fingers and felt her brain couldn't keep up. Her sister-in-law had made so much money after just one trip to town. She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Qiao Xiaoshan said with a smug look on his face, "Didn't you see those people rushing to buy our vegetable pancakes like they were free? There were still people who didn't get any at the very end! We made an appointment with them to wait for us at the stall tomorrow morning."
Qiao Haisheng took a puff of his pipe. He was also very excited. He had earned so much money all at once, which was equivalent to half a month's income for his son.
"It sells that well? That's unbelievable."
Qiao Xiaoni said, "Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, this is why I called you all here. Selling vegetable pancakes isn't a long-term solution. Once you've tried them, you'll know how to make them again. I've come up with another way to make money: frying dough sticks and selling them. But that requires a recipe, and even if they saw it, they wouldn't be able to learn it."
"Fried dough sticks? What are those?" Qiao Haisheng pressed.
Qiao Xiaoni: "I have a very good relationship with a classmate in my school. Her father is a chef, and he told me some recipes for cooking."
It's a type of food made from flour, deep-fried until golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside, with a slightly salty taste. It should be delicious.
This requires a recipe, and it's not so easy for someone to steal it unless they come to your house.
Qiao Haisheng frowned. "With flour and oil, how can it sell well? Besides, how much should it cost?"
Qiao Xiaoni took out the paper and pen she had prepared beforehand and did a calculation for everyone. She made a unified plan on how long it would take from flour to oil, and finally came to the conclusion that selling a fried dough stick for five to eight cents would make money.
What do you guys think?
Li Meihua: "Is this easy to make? Making vegetable pancakes is so simple!"
Qiao Xiaoni said, "Mom, vegetable pancakes are simple to make, and others can easily learn how to make them. In no more than three days, there will definitely be people selling vegetable pancakes like us. Everyone wants to make money. They can learn it with a little thought. If they improve the filling and add some fatty meat, our vegetable pancakes will not sell well."
Do you think my analysis is correct?
Qiao Haisheng nodded, "Your analysis is correct. Vegetable pancakes are indeed easy to make and easy for others to learn."
"Honey, we've never eaten or made fried dough sticks before. How confident are you in succeeding in this business?"
Qiao Xiaoni said, "We're about 80% sure. With the money Mom has, let's invest another 20 yuan to get the things we need."
Then we can set up a stall in town. My sister-in-law can come with me, and Mom can stay home and take care of the kids.
Dad, you can come with us too.
Qiao Xiaoni looked very confident. Qiao Haisheng slapped the table and said, "Since you've thought everything through, let's do it."
Li Meihua tugged at his sleeve, "You've all gone to the city, what will happen to the land back home? I can't just stay here with the kids and watch the cornfield all day, can I?"
