Sui Yuzhu had already thought about it in bed last night.
In addition to the wooden barrel, the raw materials she bought, the oil paper bags used for packaging, and the few fried dough sticks she bought today cost her a total of more than two yuan.
Apart from these, labor costs are the most expensive, followed by coal costs.
Including food coupons, the cost is about ten cents each.
She had also asked around and found out that there were few people selling rice balls outside, and each one cost about 120 or 130 cents.
A pound of glutinous rice can make about twenty rice balls. She plans to sell each rice ball for 1.5 cents, which will allow her to make back her investment in today's raw materials.
Of course, the one with meat floss will be more expensive, so she plans to temporarily set the price at 25 cents.
If everyone thinks it's expensive and no one buys it, we can reduce the price as appropriate.
After she finished explaining the price, the young girl standing there asking for the price nodded gently. "It's not expensive. Make me one for 25 cents. If it's delicious, I'll bring some back to my sisters."
In an instant, Sui Yuzhu felt that the girl standing in front of her wearing a white bib and a white hat was not an ordinary girl, but an angel, an angel with an angel halo.
She nodded quickly and deftly made a rice ball for the girl.
Because it was the first business order, I specially added some extra meat floss to the girl’s meal.
The girl took it, took a bite, and nodded gently: "It tastes better than what I'm used to."
Sui Yuzhuqing also laughed: "I just made this meat floss. It's all made from fresh pork."
"No wonder." The girl nodded again, "Are there any chili peppers?"
Sui Yuzhu was stunned, then shook her head.
It seems that she was not thoughtful enough.
People in Shanghai like sweet food and eat light meals, so she didn't consider chili peppers.
When I get back, I still need to prepare some chili peppers.
"Forget it if you don't have any." The girl said, "Then make me three more."
Sui Yuzhu smiled happily and continued to do three more for her.
When the girl was leaving, she was given one yuan.
Looking at the one-yuan coin in her hand, Sui Yuzhu was so excited that she almost jumped up.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough to excite her.
After the angel left, several more customers came.
Most of them are young girls.
Sui Yuzhu guessed that these girls had not yet started a family or a career.
No matter what era, married women have a lot of things to consider, and themselves are never the first priority.
They will buy it for their parents, for their husbands, and for their children, but they will never buy it for themselves.
Thinking of this, Sui Yuzhu thought of her mother.
So does my mom.
Whenever I bought something delicious, I would always give it to her and her father, but never eat it myself.
If you ask her why she doesn't eat, she will say that she doesn't like it.
But who doesn’t like to eat delicious food?
In fact, children also feel uncomfortable when they see such a mother.
Delicious food tastes better when shared with family, doesn’t it?
Someone else came to buy rice balls, so she collected her thoughts and continued making rice balls.
Only when there was no one at the textile factory gate did she pack up her things and prepare to go back.
"The girl selling rice balls!"
Before she could put her things away, she heard someone shouting.
She looked up in the direction of the sound and saw several young girls running out of the factory and heading straight towards her.
She immediately stopped what she was doing and waited for them to come over.
"It's good that you haven't left yet!" One of the round-faced girls smiled sweetly and looked at Sui Yuzhu, "Do you have any more rice balls? Make a few more for us!"
"Hurry up, we'll be at work soon!" an oval-faced girl urged urgently.
Seeing this, Sui Yuzhu hurriedly helped them make rice balls: "What kind do you make?"
While saying this, he also introduced the prices to them.
"The one Xiaoying just made!"
Seeing Sui Yuzhu looking at her in confusion, she added, "It's the one who just bought four rice balls!"
Sui Yuzhu understood as soon as she heard it.
The round-faced girl kept talking: "Xiaoying just brought back some rice balls. We have never eaten rice balls like this before. They are delicious, so we hurried out to buy some before going to work!"
Sui Yuzhu listened to her words, feeling happy in her heart, and her hands did not stop moving.
Soon, the rice balls that the girls needed were made.
After giving her the money, the round-faced girl looked at her with interest: "Will you come again tomorrow?"
Sui Yuzhu thought about it, then nodded slightly.
The market here is pretty good, and it's close by, so it won't be too late to go to the lighting factory after making some money.
After seeing off the girls, Sui Yuzhu packed up her things and left.
I took the bus back and arrived home in less than half an hour.
When she got home, she couldn't wait to take out all the money she had earned today.
A total of ten ordinary rice balls and nine rice balls with meat floss were sold in the morning.
The total is three dollars and seventy-five cents.
It only took a few hours and the money was already earned back.
She was happy and more confident about the future.
It’s thanks to the government assigning jobs these days that most people look down on street vendors.
There are almost no city dwellers who can put aside their pride and set up stalls.
But I can make a lot of money by setting up a stall.
Look at the glutinous rice left in the wooden barrel. If I don’t sell it today, it won’t taste good if I sell it tomorrow.
So, she decided to wait until the afternoon and then go to the vegetable market to have a look.
After a simple lunch, she took another nap.
I slept until around two in the afternoon, then started packing up and heading to the farmers' market.
It's still early and there are not many people in the farmers' market.
There are some scattered stalls at the entrance of the farmers' market, all of which sell agricultural and sideline products.
Sui Yuzhu also set up her stall.
As soon as I put the wooden barrels in place, someone came up to me and asked, "Girl, how much are you selling these rice balls?"
Turning around, I saw an aunt next to me.
She was dressed very simply, with a pudding scarf on her body. She was selling vegetables, which must have been grown in her own home.
Seeing Sui Yuzhu looking over, the auntie said with a smile: "I forgot to bring lunch today and haven't eaten yet. Seeing you selling rice balls is just the right thing to fill my stomach!"
Sui Yuzhu told her the price.
After hesitating for a while, he said to Sui Yuzhu, "Can you pack half for me?"
Seeing the embarrassed look on her face, Sui Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Okay!"
Seeing this, the aunt quickly took out a dime and handed it to her.
After Sui Yuzhu gave her the change, she quickly packed one for her.
The package contains the regular amount.
The aunt looked at the rice ball in her hand, which was obviously oversized, and looked at Sui Yuzhu in surprise.
