Li Yan nodded and told everyone about the store opening tomorrow.
"I heard your cousin come back the day before yesterday and say that he wanted to make some roast chicken?" Mr. Li asked again.
"It's not limited to roast chicken. I'm just opening tomorrow, so I'm testing the waters first and will add other food later!"
Seeing that his granddaughter understood clearly, Mr. Li stopped asking questions. This girl was the most resourceful and the best at making money in this family!
After Li Yan delivered the meal, she returned home and the whole family happily enjoyed dinner.
"I think the braised chicken feet are good. We can sell them in the store!" said Li Xiaomei after taking a bite.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yan turned her gaze to her parents. According to modern people's thinking, braised chicken feet is indeed a good food business, but for ordinary people who don't have much money, I wonder if they are willing to spend money to buy these chicken feet with little meat to eat.
Receiving his daughter's inquiring gaze, Li Erlang paused for a moment and said, "It's good for drinking!"
Lin nodded in agreement: "It tastes really good!"
After getting the affirmation from the three people, Li Yan's mind became active. At first, she thought about making fried chicken and roasted chicken, but she didn't think much about other things. Now that she heard what they said, she had an idea in her mind!
Making only braised chicken feet is boring, but she can make use of all the chicken liver and gizzards, add braised dried tofu and tea eggs, and make a snack platter.
The competitiveness of single chicken feet is obviously not as strong as that of a wide variety of food. Not liking chicken feet does not mean that you don’t like dried tofu or tea eggs. In a word, there is always one type that customers like!
A whole set of snack platter is one price, and you can also buy them separately. This way you can make the most of the chicken without wasting anything. You have to know that when it comes to making money, even the smallest bit is still meat!
Li Yan figured out the key and shared her thoughts with everyone.
"That's a good idea. We can put two small clay stoves in front of the store. It won't take much effort. We can just put the ingredients in clay pots and stew them slowly!" said Li Erlang.
"This is a good idea indeed. I can let my younger sister make the dried tofu. The only problem is that we don't have enough eggs at home!" Mrs. Lin expressed her concerns.
Although there are many chickens raised at the foot of the mountain, it is only at Li Yan's strong request that everyone in the family has to cook an egg, which is very costly. If the business takes off, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive for a few days relying on the few eggs at home.
"Don't worry about that. If the business relies entirely on raising chickens at home, it would be better to close the business as soon as possible. Mother forgot that I asked the aunts in the village to help raise chickens. We can also buy eggs in the village! As for the price, let's set it at one penny per egg, and bring some money to the uncles and aunts in the village to buy some needles and thread."
Li Erlang naturally agreed with Li Yan's words. He also hoped that while making money, he could also help the fellow villagers. Life was not easy for everyone these days, and they would buy eggs from anywhere, so why not buy them from fellow villagers!
"Auntie, starting tomorrow, you can help me make some dried tofu. I'll buy it from you at four cents a pound. Is that okay with you?"
"I'll do it for you. We are all family, so why bother talking about money?" Li Xiaomei said unhappily.
"Aunt, this business has to last for a long time. If you don't want to take the money, I'll buy it somewhere else. It's not good to let you work hard from dawn to dusk!" Li Yan said solemnly.
"That's right, let's do as Yan'er says!" Li Erlang finally made the decision.
So the matter was settled.
After dinner, the aunt and niece continued to busy themselves with boiling soy sauce. Today, they had filled a total of 40 bottles of half-pound soy sauce and 60 bottles of one-pound soy sauce. After boiling out the soy sauce in the pot, there were still about 20 pounds. The market was still in the trial operation stage, so I thought these should be enough!
As she expected, she finally packed twenty bottles of one-pound soy sauce and five bottles of half-pound soy sauce. Li Yan put the packed soy sauce away, and at this time there was a knock on the door!
It's so late, who would come home at this time? Li Yan asked as she walked out the door, "Who is it?"
