Chapter 122 Opening a Steamed Bun Shop
On the second day, Song Haonian and Baihe brought money and went to the tofu shop to have a good talk with Xu Erchou.

It was rare that someone came to take over the shop as soon as he wanted to sell it. Xu Erchou taught the two of them a lot of tips on making tofu, and made it clear who the big customers were and who they wanted to establish a good relationship with.

This is an experience that can't be bought with money. The young couple will keep it firmly in mind and thank Xu Erchou a thousand times.

Xu Erchou said again: "Wenwa's parents are used to it in the store, and their skills are no worse than mine. If you don't understand anything, just ask him."

Find a villager to act as a middleman and Liu Yi as a guarantor, write a contract, and pay the clear money. From then on, the tofu shop has been owned by Song Haonian and Li Baihe, a young couple.

The tofu shop has two rooms inside and outside. The outside is a simple shop, and the inside is built with a stove. On the side shelves are hung large and small tofu grids, strainers and gauze, and there is a very small space. , a small wooden bed inside.

Making tofu is tiring work, and I can just rest here when I am tired.

Pushing open the back door is a simple small yard surrounded by earthen walls. Under the bamboo shed, there is a sweet water well and a stone mill.There was another shed with a donkey, and Xu Erchou also gave Song Haonian the Lamo donkey.

Lily can't stop looking inside and out, excited and new, and at the same time, she has to think about what needs to be repaired and what needs to be cleaned...

Liu Yi asked Song Haonian: "You and your siblings will definitely not be able to take care of such a store, have you thought about hiring someone?"

"It's already agreed, and Wenwa's parents are called to continue working. They are all familiar with each other, and they have some contacts." With the favor of Song Haonian who introduced Xu Caiwen, the Xu family couple will only treat them affectionately and wait for leisure. It will not make stumbling blocks or steal loopholes.

Liu Yi nodded and said: "That's fine, I originally thought that if I didn't take advantage of it for a while, I would ask Xing'er's mother to help you."

Lily heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't be too busy, I have something to discuss with Sister Caifeng."

"What's the matter?"

"I'll discuss it with Sister Caifeng first, I can't tell you now." Lily called Song Haonian to look for Li Caifeng, Song Haonian was used to his wife's self-assessment.

On the contrary, Liu Yi was puzzled for a while, "Why do you have to discuss with my family?"

Li Caifeng already knew about the tofu shop under Baihe Pan, and when she saw the couple coming together, she laughed from afar: "Hey, the two bosses are willing to pay you a visit today!"

Lily also laughed: "I still want you to be my boss!"

Liu Yi and his wife, even Song Haonian, didn't know what she was planning, so they hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Lily said: "Sister Caifeng, our own sisters, I won't lie to you, I think the buns you make taste very good, better than the ones I eat elsewhere, so you don't want to open a bun shop or something of?"

For a smart and capable person like Li Caifeng, doing some housework at home all day is really a waste of talent.

Li Caifeng was stunned: "I have thought about it, but if I want to open a shop for a long time, there must be a shop, and people must keep an eye on it. I'm afraid I won't be too busy."

"I know, as I said before, you just said that there is no shop, but now that I have a ready-made shop, you can just say whether to do it or not!" With a straightforward person like Li Caifeng, you can't talk about it, what does Lily have? what to say.

Li Caifeng hesitated, and asked Lily: "You are a tofu shop, tell me the truth, what are you planning?"

"In addition to making tofu, my tofu shop can also sell soy milk and bean curds. I have sold bean curds for a few days before, and you have seen it. The business is very good. The only thing is that soy milk and bean curds are not enough to eat, and there are steamed buns and steamed buns. Come to match it."

"Sister, the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. If you go to my shop to sell buns, I will open a counter for you. Every day the tofu shop starts, and the bun shop also starts. Hot soy milk, bean curd and delicious buns come together. , I don’t believe that there are people who don’t like to eat it. At most two hours, if your steamed stuffed buns are sold out, I’ll make the tofu, and if the steamed stuffed buns are removed, I’ll still sell the tofu, wouldn’t it be good?”

Lily is a person who has learned a bit of planning. No matter how agile she is, there will always be one or two hours before the tofu is ready, and no one needs to buy tofu early in the morning. It is better to divide a tofu shop into two parts—— ——Set up an early morning shop and sell tofu after the breakfast time. There will be no delay in the hatchback, and you can earn more chewing.

Li Caifeng was a little moved, and said with a smile: "Sister, logically, I shouldn't ask this, but if I don't ask, I feel flustered, renting a shop outside requires rent, I have to have an explanation for lending your shop space. "

Lily pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister, we are as good as one person on weekdays, why don't we talk? You should be more polite to me at this time. There are also shops outside with a monthly rent of [-] yuan. There are also three to five hundred yuan. According to me, you only occupy the shop for two hours a day, and you don’t need much. If the buns sell well, you can pay a hundred yuan a month. Let's eat steamed buns with tofu, let's eat more!"

If the business is not good and the tofu buns can't be sold, don't they have to eat them from their families?
If Li Caifeng went to rent a shop outside, the price would definitely be higher than this price, but the two families are good, and friendship cannot be measured by money.

Lily has always understood that it is nothing to her to live a good life alone. If everyone around her lives well, then it will be a real good life.

Li Caifeng is a straightforward person, and immediately agreed: "Sure, then the two of us sisters will partner in this business!"

After she finished speaking, she remembered that she hadn't told the head of the family yet, "Her father, what do you think?"

Liu Yi watched the two women discuss business, he was dumbfounded the whole time, and said after a long while: "You have agreed, why do you ask me?" He picked up Xing'er who was half understanding, "Go Let's do your business, Xing'er and I will depend on each other for our lives."

Xing'er was so anxious that she threw her small hands on her father's head: "Father, father, let me down! I'm going to open a shop!"

Liu Yi was very sad: "Xing'er, don't you love Dad anymore?"

Xing'er said: "Father, I want to open a shop to make money to support you. If I have no money, how can I honor you?"

The little baby's words made sense, and the adults all laughed. Liu Yi stuffed Xing'er into Li Caifeng's hands, "Let Xing'er learn more from you, and don't be like his father in the future, who can't afford to open a shop." , I want my daughter-in-law to dislike me."

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Caifeng was upset in front of Xing'er, so she had to spit lightly, which made everyone laugh again.

Li Caifeng discussed with Baihe for a long time, deciding what kind of buns to steam every day, how many baskets to steam, and how much each one should be priced... These are trivial things, but they are the most important. Xing'er was bored hearing this, and ran to hug her father neck: "Father, tell me about hunting."

Liu Yi said: "Aren't you going to open a shop to honor me?"

Xing'er shook her head and said, "I don't understand opening a shop, but I can learn how to hunt and honor you!"

The hunting stories her father told were very nice. Every time Xing'er told the stories to her friends outside, she would gain a large number of younger brothers. Even the young master of Mr. Liu's family liked to listen to them. He came regularly to listen to Xing'er's stories. .

If someday Xing'er doesn't like to talk about it, the young master will give her rose pine nut candy made at home, begging her.

Here, Li Caifeng and Li Caifeng discussed about the steamed stuffed bun shop. It was already dark, and Li Caifeng stayed with them for dinner.

On the second day, Lily asked Wenwa's parents to try to make a pot of tofu first, and Li Caifeng also tried to steam a basket of steamed buns, and calculated how much noodles, firewood, and time it would take to steam a basket of buns, so as to set a price.

They are busy here, and Song Haonian is not idle, one family went to say hello to the old customers, explaining the things about their own tofu shop: "It will open in two days, please come as usual."

Selling tofu in Qingliu Town, the individual customers are all Xiaozong, who only sell five or six plates of tofu every day, and the real big ones are Liufu and a few villagers.

Seeing Liu's mansion has a large population and complicated affairs, at least three plates of tofu are enough for a day. If there are weddings, weddings, banquets and guests, the demand is greater, then they should come to say hello in advance and ask them to make more.

In addition, there are a few hometowns who use one or two plates of fresh tofu every day, and several restaurants and restaurants use two or three plates a day. These are the bulk.

Song Haonian went to Liu's mansion, looking for Mrs. Sheng, and talked about the tofu workshop as usual, Mrs. Sheng clapped her hands and laughed: "Oh, I don't have tofu these days, so I have to put the fried tofu on top. If the store can’t open again, I have to grind tofu at home.”

Mrs. Sheng has always had a good relationship with Baihe, and she congratulated Song Haonian: "My old man said that you want to make a tofu shop. This is a good thing. Both you and your wife are people who can live a life. You have to live a good life."

"Only one thing, if you hurry up tomorrow, bring me two plates of tofu. I need it urgently." Mrs. Sheng was very reassured about Song Haonian's character, so she didn't mention the inspection, and took him to tell the accountant of the house first. From now on, I will buy tofu from Song Haonian, and he will send it to keep the account every day, and settle it once a month.

The situation of several other stores is similar. Those who congratulate him for opening a store, and those who are anxious to ask for new products, because they are big customers, they all settle once a month.

Only Patriarch Song was not at ease, and asked Song Haonian: "I know that other people's homes are closed every month, and you didn't get any money in the first month, how can you still make money?"

He is the elder of the clan, and he takes extra care of the promising juniors.

Song Haonian said: "It can still be turned around. If there is any difficulty, I still have to ask my uncle for advice."

Previously, Song Haonian gave up the Song family members to borrow money from the Liu Mansion, and the head of the Song family was still very upset. After talking to Song Haonian for a while, his anger almost subsided, and he turned around and said to his wife: "You said, New Year's Eve He may not be very good, and he is not good at speaking well, but why is it so pleasant to talk to him?"

The patriarch's wife said: "That is an honest person, isn't that what makes people happy?"

What's more, the New Year is still good-looking...

A little old lady at her age likes honest and good-looking young people the most!
