Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 155
After full preparations, the breakfast cart jointly built by Ju Min and Ruan Xiaofeng was finally ready for use.

On the first day at the stall, Ju Min got up at two o'clock in the morning and rushed to Ruan Xiaofeng and Wang Xiuhong's shop. She and Wang Xiuhong were in charge of frying shredded potatoes, while Ruan Xiaofeng was in charge of kneading noodles and making soy milk.

They had discussed earlier that it would be a waste of labor to sell just burritos, so it would be better to sell something else.The same food is best paired with the same drink, so Ruan Xiaofeng suggested making soy milk.

For this reason, Ruan Xiaofeng also bought a big tube, and there is a faucet underneath for soy milk, which is convenient and hygienic.

When the stall opened at five o'clock, Ruan Xiaofeng was in charge of receiving the soy milk and packaging it, Ju Min was in charge of pancakes, and Wang Xiuhong was in charge of collecting money and doing some odd jobs.

The three people have a clear division of labor, and the positions they occupy are okay. There are not a few people coming and going, but after waiting for a long time, no one came up to buy burritos, and not even one came up to ask.

Wang Xiuhong sighed depressedly, and began to ponder pessimistically.

She whispered to Ju Min and Ruan Xiaofeng: "Could it be that we chose the wrong one? Maybe people don't like this."

"How do you know if you like it if you haven't eaten it?" Ruan Xiaofeng denied.

Ju Min nodded, agreeing with Ruan Xiaofeng's words, and then said: "I guess we are new here. I don't know if it's good or not. If someone buys it in front of our dining car or if someone queues up, there will definitely be one." More and more people buy it and try it.”

Isn't the problem here? No one comes to buy it.

If there is no one, then you have to find a way to attract people.

Not far from the dining car, there happened to be a clothing store that sells clothes at a discount all the year round. They only sell last orders from their own factories, and they don’t pay much attention to appearance. There is a big sign at the door that says "[-]% off for the whole shop" , choose at will."

Inspired by the big brand, Ruan Xiaofeng decided to write a billboard even after taking apart the paper shell.The three of them got together to discuss, anyway, they don't expect to make much money on the first day, the most important thing is to see if the customers like it first, so it is acceptable to sell it cheaper, so Ju Min wrote on the paper shell Write down the words "New stall opens, buy one get one free, no money for bad food".

The words "buy one get one free" are too attractive. For many people, rounding up means they don't need money, and if they don't buy it, they lose money.

Women with a normal appetite can eat a burrito with a cup of soy milk, and women and men with larger appetites can be full with a burrito and a cup of soy milk, and two burritos are just right.

Therefore, under the attraction of "buy one get one free", the first person who came to the stall to buy burrito soy milk was a man.The man spoke in a strange tone, and he knew that he was not a local.

While making pancakes, Ju Min chatted with this man, asking him where he came from, how long he had been here, and which factory he worked in.

Ruan Xiaofeng and the others happened to have stayed in the man's hometown, so there were naturally more topics to talk about. The burrito was ready, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to the man. The man was reluctant to leave, so he stood in front of the stall and chatted with Ruan Xiaofeng while eating.

If there is one, there are two. After this man, people came to buy cakes one after another.

Ju Min still chatted with others in the old routine.When chatting, she will also observe people's expressions. If she meets someone she likes to chat with, she will chat a few more words, and she will stop immediately if she meets someone she doesn't like to talk about, so as not to annoy customers.

Busy until after eight o'clock in the morning, other houses started to close their stalls, and there were few pedestrians on the road, so Ju Min and the others also had to close their stalls.

There are still some shredded potatoes and noodles that were reconciled in advance. It's still hot in the afternoon, and it's a pity to throw them away. Ruan Xiaofeng and his wife don't know what to do with them.

After closing the stall and returning to the noodle shop, Ju Min baked the noodles into cakes and put them in a slightly cooler place together with shredded potatoes.

She said: "We can put up a sign at the entrance of the noodle shop, which says that eating noodles will give you burritos, so that we can also attract business for the noodle shop. Our potato shreds and pancakes are not in vain."

That's a good idea.In business, you can't be picky and search. You should be willing when you should be willing, so that you can make money.

During the day, Ruan Xiaofeng and his wife still had to run a noodle shop, and Ju Min had nothing to do when he got home, so he simply stayed to help them, and wondered what else he could use their small food truck to sell.

People don't just eat the morning meal, but most factories provide lunch, and there are not many people who come out to eat lunch seriously, so it is not good to push the dining cart to sell lunch.

Not for lunch, but dinner and supper can be considered.

What are some good things to sell for dinner?
The noodle restaurant's business was not good, there were not many customers a day, and Ruan Xiaofeng and his wife also discussed with her in their free time.

Three cobblers are against one Zhuge Liang, and the three of them really negotiated something.

There are pots and stoves in the noodle shop, and it is convenient to cook, stir-fry and cook noodles. Why don't they take advantage of this advantage to make box lunches!

Stir-fry a few dishes with meat and vegetables, and then stew some more rice. The rice is first served in a lunch box, and the dishes are also packed in large pots.

The rice eaten by the locals is more like thick porridge, and only people from other places like to eat dry rice.Of course, they don’t sell boxed lunches to locals, but mainly foreigners who come here to work.

Whether it can be sold well can only be known by selling it first, and if it is not easy to sell, then think of other ways.

After the discussion, Wang Xiuhong was excited to go shopping for vegetables. Ju Min hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'm afraid I won't be in a hurry today. We need to buy not only vegetables, but also lunch boxes, chopsticks and large bowls for serving vegetables. How about How about this, let's go buy these things first, and then go out to buy vegetables and make box lunches after closing the breakfast stall tomorrow."

Money is not something that can be earned in a hurry. Wang Xiuhong also realized that she was too urgent, so she nodded in embarrassment.

You don’t need to buy big pots and spoons often, just go to the local small market to buy them, but disposable lunch boxes and chopsticks may need to be bought frequently in the future, so Ju Min suggested to find someone to wholesale them directly.

She doesn't search for places where money should be spent, and absolutely doesn't waste a penny where money should be saved, and Ju Min can also keep accounts, and she remembers clearly how much money she earns and how much she spends.

In the evening, the three of them sat together to reconcile the accounts. Wang Xiuhong looked at the -204.6 in the balance, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I didn't count the soymilk buckets in the dining car that I bought earlier. After a busy day, I didn't make any money and still paid more than 200 yuan," she said dejectedly.

Ruan Xiaofeng thought about it, and he comforted him: "Every business has to be funded in the beginning, and it will be fine when we get started."

Wang Xiuhong cheered up and asked Ju Min: "Will you still buy one get one free for the burrito tomorrow? If you give it away, we will have to lose money."

Ju Min was also thinking about this matter, still a little undecided.

"Why don't we talk about tomorrow's situation and prepare the paper case. If you don't get one free, we won't display it if someone buys it. If no one buys it, we will display it again. Let's limit it to three days. If you have to ask for it for three days If you can only sell it to attract people, let's think of something else to sell, what do you think?" Ju Min discussed with the two.
