Chapter 142: Produced by Chen Jintao, worth it!
I thought that four people would be able to handle the job. I thought that they would be busy working around the clock, collecting money and packing the food. Although they were very busy, the four women's faces were full of smiles.
By noon, there was almost nothing left of the popcorn and milk tea I brought.
Chen Jintao gave all the money she collected to Xu Xuemei and asked her to count it carefully.
After counting, her whole body was shaking with excitement.
She never dared to think that she would become rich overnight. Who would have thought that in such a short time, she had received a total of 125.5 yuan. Of course, this also included the deposit for the bamboo cup she took away. But after returning the deposit, she would still have earned 70 or 80 yuan. What's more, several people said that they liked the cup and would not return it.
"I'll go back now and bring some more!"
When Liu Guifen saw this situation, she was sure to continue selling in the afternoon, so the net profit for the day would probably be more than one hundred yuan or nearly two hundred yuan.
"I'll go with you!" Xu Xuemei said quickly, and by the way, she took the returned bamboo cups back to wash them.
The two women, whose combined age was in their eighties or nineties, pushed the cart and started off, not feeling tired at all after working all morning.
"Do you have any more of that milk tea?"
At this time someone came to ask.
Chen Jintao looked and saw that there were still a few cups, but there was a problem. They no longer had any clean bamboo cups. "Well, I'm sorry. We do have some milk tea, but we've run out of cups."
The visitor was a middle-aged woman, dressed very smartly and looking well-off. She was obviously relieved after hearing what Chen Jintao said, "It's good that there is still some left. Fortunately, I caught up. Your stuff is so tempting. Someone in our yard took it back. The kids in my family almost quarreled. I brought my own enamel cup!"
As he spoke, he took out an enamel cup from the oversized army green backpack he was carrying.
Chen Jintao: ...
She took a look at the enamel cup that the man brought. It was quite big, one cup was equivalent to five bamboo cups. She picked up the last thermos and poured it into the cup. It was just the right size.
"I'll just charge you four dollars. I don't have any bamboo cups here, so I can't be exact. But you should be able to tell that there's more than enough in here."
The middle-aged woman was also easy to talk to. She smiled and asked, "Okay, do you have any more popcorn? Give me some too. The kids are craving for it!"
Chen Jintao packed her four more servings of popcorn, saying that she had four children at home and to prevent them from quarreling, one serving for each would be best.
While helping her pack, Chen Jintao said, "Sister, you are so kind to your children. You are willing to buy so many delicious foods for them. Don't worry, you can take our popcorn and milk tea back for the children. They are definitely worth the price. We also add a lot of sugar, oil, milk powder and tea!"
When the middle-aged woman heard Chen Jintao calling her sister, she burst into laughter, "Hahaha, why call me sister? At my age, you can even call me aunt."
Sure enough, she didn't listen to anything else Chen Jintao said, and was only thinking about the word "sister".
Chen Jintao showed an exaggerated expression at the right time, "What? Are you kidding? I really can't tell. I thought you were just a few years older than me."
The middle-aged woman paid a huge sum of six dollars and left happily.
Huo Nanxi couldn't help but give her sister-in-law a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, where did you learn this skill of lying with open eyes?"
Chen Jintao tapped her on the head in annoyance, "How can you talk like that? This is called the art of language. It's not a big deal if you compliment them a few more times. It won't hurt you at all, and it will make the customers very happy. Once they are happy, they will definitely think of you the next time they want to buy snacks."
Huo Nanxi stuck out her tongue. Although she didn't answer this question, she agreed with it in her heart. If she went somewhere to buy something and people kept praising her, she would definitely want to go there again next time. After all, people are more or less a little vain.
Because she was afraid that someone would come over to return the cups, Chen Jintao asked Huo Nanxi to go to the state-owned restaurant to pack up the food. She would wait here and they would eat directly after Huo Nanxi packed up.
When Huo Nanxi went there, Chen Jintao asked her to take the remaining popcorn with her, saying that she wanted her colleagues to have some.
Huo Nanxi didn't think too much about it and hurried over with the things, mainly because she was worried that her sister-in-law was hungry.
When the food was brought to the state-owned restaurant, no one took it seriously at first, but after eating it, everyone was shocked.
At the state-owned restaurant, except for Master Zhuang, all the other employees are women. Although Sister Zhang is a little older, she still can't resist the temptation of sweets.
Even Luo Ya was surprised, "Xiao Xi, you said this thing called popcorn was made by Comrade Shen Jintao?"
Huo Nanxi nodded, "Yeah, how is it? Is it delicious? I tell you, it's not the best at this time. It tastes better when it's just out of the pot and eaten while it's hot!"
"Ah! I think it's delicious even now!" Luo Ya couldn't believe her ears. This was not even the most delicious part.
I used to think that egg cakes and glutinous rice noodles were delicious, but I never imagined that there were such delicacies in the world.
Xiao Hu and Xiao Yan had almost the same reaction as Luo Ya. Oh my God, this is so delicious.
Huo Nanxi thought for a moment and said, "My mom and my aunt will get some over later. They will definitely still be warm by then. I'll bring them to you!"
Everyone else also knew that this thing was made at home and sold outside the cinema, so they naturally felt embarrassed to let people take it for free.
Luo Ya was the one with the best financial conditions in her family, so she immediately asked Huo Nanxi to bring ten copies for her so that she could share them with her family and her partner's family.
Huo Nanxi didn't expect that there was such a big customer here. Her eyes lit up immediately. "My sister-in-law has also made a drink called milk tea. Do you want to try it?"
Luo Ya and Shen Jintao used to be at odds with each other, but they reconciled later. Moreover, even when she disliked Shen Jintao the most, she had to admit that Shen Jintao's craftsmanship was very, very good. Luo Ya had full trust in the things she made. "Yes! I want ten copies!"
"Wow, you don't even ask me the price?" Huo Nanxi exclaimed. People from well-off families are different. They are so confident when buying things!
"Made by Chen Jintao, worth it!"
Luo Ya said without even thinking.
Huo Nanxi still took the initiative to tell the price, and then said, "If you buy more of this, I'll give you two extra of each!"
Luo Ya really didn't expect such a surprise, "Okay!"
He quickly counted out fifteen dollars and gave it to Nanxi Huo.
Nancy Ho: ...
"Do you carry so much money with you?"
Xiao Yan and Xiao Hu's family conditions are not as good as Luo Ya's, but their salaries are not low after all. The salaries in state-owned restaurants have increased a little this year, so it is okay for them to take some back home. They also ordered five servings of each, and Sister Zhang also ordered the same amount as Luo Ya.
Huo Nanxi really didn't expect that after she came back and gave them some, she would directly get a bill of 45 yuan. As expected, everyone was very enthusiastic about new things.
But the problem was that they didn't have that many bamboo tubes at home. Even if her father made some new ones today, they still had to be boiled and then dried, so when Huo Nanxi went back, she just took a thermos from the store.
