Su Yun'er's words touched the group, and in an instant, everyone felt closer to this young lady they had never met before.
“Hey? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.” At this moment, a laborer pointed at Su Yun’er and said.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Oh right, I remember now, it was in the city, I saw a group of people surrounding you buying some kind of gourd."
Su Yun'er chuckled: "It's candied hawthorn."
"Yes, yes, it's candied hawthorn."
"You're really something, young lady. Someone in our village bought some candied hawthorns and said they were especially delicious. Looks like this tofu pudding won't be bad either."
At this point, someone finally took the bowl of tofu pudding.
He looked at the tofu pudding, which was white and tender, and could be easily separated with a spoon. It looked quite interesting, so he took a bite.
"Mmm, delicious!"
Is it really delicious?
"Let me try it!"
Hearing that it was delicious, the laborers all clamored to try it.
"Young lady, how much is your tofu pudding?" Someone's stomach was already rumbling.
He was still holding a pancake in his hand, but compared to this tofu pudding, that cold, sour, and hard pancake was nothing.
"A bowl of tofu pudding costs five coins. If you buy two bowls of tofu pudding, you'll get a free bowl of rice. If you buy rice alone, it costs three coins," Su Yun'er said.
This price is incomparable to that of candied hawthorn berries and candied balls.
After all, in this era, sugar represents status and is mainly a business for people with spare money; while tofu pudding is sold to the general public.
Although the price is relatively low on its own, it has a wider target audience, which can be considered a strategy of low profit but high volume.
Moreover, she had considered the price. Laborers could earn about nine hundred coins a month, which was higher than other industries. However, laborers earned their money through hard work, and many of them were responsible for supporting their families. Therefore, they were careful with their spending.
Therefore, the price I set myself wasn't too painful for the laborers.
Moreover, laborers have large appetites, so the buy-two-get-one-free offer will be very attractive to them. This way, we can also increase our sales, which is a win-win situation.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man immediately replied happily, "Buying two bowls of tofu pudding will get me an extra bowl of rice? That's great! I was just worried that one bowl wouldn't be enough to fill me up. Now I'm sure I'll be full. Young lady, I want to buy two bowls of tofu pudding."
"This young lady's pricing is so strange," someone nearby remarked.
"She used to price her candied hawthorns at this price. It's a great deal! Young lady, I'll have two bowls of tofu pudding too."
"Okay, okay, everyone, please line up here, I'll serve you all the tofu pudding right away."
Most of the laborers lined up, but a few did not. Instead, they went to the side, found a place to sit down, and started eating the pancake they had been given.
Su Yun'er saw it all.
These small stalls collect money first and then give out the food. In order to distinguish between buying one bowl and buying two bowls, Su Yun'er prepared two different colored bowls.
The red pattern indicates that only one bowl was purchased, while the green one indicates that two bowls were purchased. After finishing the first bowl, you can get a second bowl, which will then be replaced with a red patterned bowl.
After Su Yun'er served the tofu pudding to the laborers in line, they each took their bowls, found a place to sit, and began to eat, praising how delicious it was.
Su Yun'er thanked her while serving several bowls of hot tofu pudding water.
When soy milk turns into tofu pudding, some clear broth will separate out after it solidifies. In order not to affect the seasoning, Su Yun'er will skim off that clear broth when serving the tofu pudding.
This clear soup is of little use, but it can be given to the laborers to eat with their flatbread.
At least it's warm, so I guess I can treat it like drinking hot water.
When Su Yun'er brought over the tofu soup, the laborers waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they had no money to buy it.
"Brothers, please don't misunderstand. I'm not selling anything. It's just some cheap hot soup. Please don't be shy."
Upon hearing this, the group quickly stood up, respectfully accepted the gifts, and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
"Young lady, you are truly kind-hearted, unlike those..."
A young man was complaining when an older man scolded him. The young man immediately shut up and continued eating.
The uncle took the hot soup, thanked him, and didn't say anything more.
Su Yun'er smiled, pretending not to hear. She knew the young man had just tried to curse the dock officials.
Amitabha Buddha, I am just a small-scale vendor, and I don't want to get involved in those complicated things.
After lunch, the laborers went back to work, and Su Yun'er packed up her stall.
There are probably several hundred laborers working at the dock, but only a dozen or so came to have lunch today.
The tofu pudding and rice I brought were sold out just in time.
So sales were good on the first day.
The laborers will be exchanging ideas today, and it's speculated that there might be more customers tomorrow.
Under the blazing sun, at the hottest time of day, Su Yun'er carried her things home, breaking out in a light sweat.
Grandma Chen left her some boiled cabbage and tofu and a bowl of noodles, but Su Yun'er, who hadn't eaten lunch yet, felt it wasn't enough after finishing it.
So during his break, he slipped into the space again, wanting to find something to eat.
There were cucumbers and tomatoes in the warehouse. Su Yun'er washed a cucumber and munched on it while sitting by the field in the sun.
While eating cucumbers, I calculated my earnings for the day.
A total of nineteen people came to buy tofu pudding today. Except for three people who only ordered one bowl of tofu pudding, the others all ordered the buy two get one free combo.
So the total income was 175 coins.
Not bad, all the ones I brought out sold out, so there was no waste.
Su Yun'er was very satisfied with today's result.
She plans to make an extra half bucket of tofu pudding tomorrow.
The new tofu pudding business has kept Su Yun'er busier than before.
Every morning, she gets up to make tofu pudding, sets up her stall in the morning, and doesn't come back until after lunch. After eating and resting for a while, she makes some mini candied hawthorns for Grandma Chen to sell the next day.
Soak the beans overnight so they can be used to make tofu pudding the next morning.
After a busy period, the tofu pudding business gradually got on track.
Every day at noon, more than 30 people come to eat tofu pudding, and the amount of tofu pudding that needs to be taken out to sell each day has increased from one bucket to two buckets.
"Young lady, your tofu pudding is delicious, but it's also too good with rice. I feel like I could eat several bowls of rice!" A laborer came to eat tofu pudding every day. At first, he would only order one bowl of tofu pudding and one bowl of rice each time, but over time, he became a familiar face to the laborer.
"Being able to eat is a blessing. The more you eat, the stronger you are, and you'll earn even more money, brother!"
"Hahaha, you little lady, you sure know how to talk. Alright, then give me another bowl of rice!"
"Hey, did you strike it rich today? Why did you even buy an extra bowl of rice?" A coworker next to him asked curiously.
