Chapter 51 Soliciting

Zhao Laosi is very satisfied with his current life: "Not bad, we can earn a net income of forty or fifty yuan a day."

This day is worth the ten days he spent working at someone else's house.

For people of their generation who can endure hardships, opening a shop is now much easier than digging for food in the fields.

They really didn't feel tired or hard.

Therefore, when there were no customers in the afternoon, he still started to work as a bamboo craftsman, making some rattan baskets and sieves and selling them in the shop. The more he could, the better.

At this rate, the borrowed money will be repaid during the Chinese New Year.

When I think about it this way, my life becomes more exciting.

Seeing Xiao Hong frown slightly, he quickly added: "Don't worry, the braised chicken will be sold out at noon, and the ledger is in the drawer."

Before opening the store, the family agreed that all the money earned from selling the braised chicken would go to Xiao Hong, so even if the profits from the braised chicken were good and the sales were good, they didn't have any bad intentions and kept the accounts.

And if she hadn't taught them how to braise pig heads and do business, they really wouldn't have thought that the food business could make so much money.

Therefore, he was grateful to Xiao Hong from the bottom of his heart, and he was not blinded by money and wanted to covet her money.

In fact, at this time, most of the money earned by unmarried young people has to be given to their parents.

If Xiao Hong was still in the Xiao family, the money she earned would definitely be taken away by Xiao Jianhua.

But it's different now. She only came to live with her biological mother and stepfather this year. They think Xiao Hong is smart, capable, and able to make money, and they already treat her like an adult.

She was also worried that she would think they were interested in her money, so naturally she was asked to take care of the money herself.

But what is strange to Xiao Hong now is: "Is this turnover about the same as before school started?"

She chose to open a store here just to earn money from her high school classmates.

Now it seems that this plan has obviously failed.

Xiao Fang also nodded: "Yes, not many students come here to eat dumplings."

She had discovered this problem a long time ago, but seeing that she was focused on studying, she didn't mention it.

Anyway, from Xiao Fang's point of view, her family now earns a lot of money. It's rare to see Xiao Hong studying so seriously, so don't mention these trivial matters to her.

Now their most important task is to study hard.

But Xiao Hong was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to roll wool. Her eyes fell on Zhao Laosi's hands and she came up with an idea: "Uncle, can you make a small steamer?"

Looking at the size she drew, Zhao Laosi looked puzzled: "It's so small that it's useless? It can only steam one bun?"

"It's getting cold, I want to try steamed dumplings."

Xiao Hong also had an idea: "After it is steamed in this way, it can be delivered to the school gate for sale at meal time, and it will be kept warm for a longer time."

"Even if we can't sell them all, we can still sell them to customers in the store."

After saying that, he felt a little depressed: "If our family were not good at making steamed buns, Xiaolongbao would be easier to sell."

"Xiaohong, you have a really good brain." Seeing that she had come up with another good idea, Zhao Laosi also cooperated: "I will start making a small steamer right now."

He worked for more than two hours and finally followed Xiao Hong's request and made a small steamer before dinner.

Xiao Hong cut a straw mat and placed it in the steamer, then put ten dumplings on it and started steaming.

Twenty minutes later, the steamed dumplings were placed on the table.

Now they own a dumpling shop and a braised food shop, and they want their children to be healthier, so they can naturally eat good ones often, and they no longer want to eat dumplings.

After Zhao Laosi picked up a steamed dumpling and ate it, his eyes lit up: "Steamed dumplings are chewier."

Yanyan quickly agreed: "Yes, these are more delicious than boiled dumplings."

Xiao Hong was quite satisfied after tasting it: "Uncle, please make more steamers..."

After thinking about how time-consuming it was to make this, she changed her mind: "Let grandpa and the others help make it. First prepare a hundred or so steamers, and then take some to sell at the school gate."

"After they eat it, they will automatically come to your door in the future."

Xiao Fang also nodded: "That's a good idea. Steamed dumplings taste good, much better than rice."

Students who live on campus eat steamed rice three times a day. Those who are willing to go to the cafeteria to buy some food, but those who are reluctant, eat dried prunes with every meal.

It's really off-putting.

If she could buy delicious dumplings right in front of the school, she felt that students with a little pocket money would be willing to buy them.

Wait until Monday morning.

After the morning self-study, Xiao Hong greeted her classmates before they got up: "Xinning, we will treat you to steamed dumplings this morning."

Her voice was clear and crisp, and the classmates in front started to cheer when they heard it: "Oh, Xiao Hong, why did you treat Xinning to eat dumplings?"

Although the classwork in the senior year of high school is stressful, it does not affect the students' love of gossip.

Especially men and women of this age are more likely to fall in love with someone.

In their class, there were several pairs of classmates who looked at each other and were a bit ambiguous.

At this time, all the students in the class stopped and looked at them curiously.

Xiao Hong originally wanted to take the opportunity to advertise, so she said very gracefully: "My family owns a dumpling shop, and my parents sell dumplings in front of the school?"

Xiao Fang, who was standing next to her, looked at her with admiration, but she couldn't say it. She always felt embarrassed, as if she was dragging her classmates to buy her own dumplings.

Xu Xinning glanced at Xiao Fang, who was blushing with embarrassment, and then at Xiao Hong, who was calm and composed, and was very cooperative: "Okay, your dumplings are delicious, I was thinking about them?"

Some male classmates shouted: "I'll go too, I don't want to eat at all in the morning."

At this moment, Zhao Laosi was already waiting at the school gate.

He also borrowed a tricycle from the Huang family next door. There were small steamers on the car, with fifty steaming steamed dumplings on them.

When the school gate opened, the day students rushed out, took a curious look, and then went home joking with their classmates.

Zhao Laosi wanted to shout, but the words 'selling steamed dumplings' just couldn't come out.

Fortunately, Xiao Hong and the others came out at this time.

Xiao Hong first opened the lid of the small steamer, letting everyone see the pink dumplings, and greeted the students generously: "Five cents for a basket of steamed dumplings. If they are not delicious, there is no charge. If you have a small appetite, you can buy them together."

One cage.”

"Today you can take the steamers away and eat them before sending them out. From tomorrow onwards, students will have to bring their own lunch boxes to pack the steamed dumplings."

"It smells so good!" A male classmate took a deep breath and readily took out 50 cents and handed it to her: "Give me one too."

Zhao Laosi quickly handed him a cage as well.

Xu Xinning stood there holding a small steamer, and he started to eat with chopsticks without shyness. He even asked a few male classmates who came close to take a steamed dumpling from his steamer to taste.

People nowadays don’t think there’s anything inappropriate about eating out.

Many people who bought steamed dumplings gathered around the tricycle to eat.

The students who came out later saw it, and some came to buy it too.

Now, when the students who were having breakfast with prunes and pickled vegetables in their lunch boxes saw it, they couldn't eat anymore, and some of them started to buy a box together and start eating.

Xiao Hong took the opportunity to point out her store to everyone: "My store is right there. On rainy days, everyone goes to the store to eat. Is there vinegar and seasoning in it?"
