Chapter 31 Opening
The toothpick candy received unanimous praise from Zhuzhu and Liu Da, and even Ma Liu and Ma Zhao ate several of them.
Cao Ming was willing to run errands for Yuan Zhuan after his brother and sister-in-law turned the corner. Cao Ming and Zhao Yuxiang completed the business of opening a store in two days with Zhao Yuxiang.
"Mingzi, take some of these candies back to eat. Your brother and sister-in-law have children at home." Zhao Ma wrapped a paper bag of toothpick candies and handed them to Cao Ming, who was collecting them in the warehouse. There are many things going on these days. They all relied on this child's help. If her girl hadn't been eight years old, she might have thought too much. Although she knew Yuan Zhuan's ability, Cao Ming was the landlord after all, and she was willing to help so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"Okay, thank you, sister." Cao Ming looked at the red and brown toothpick candies inside, his eyes widened with a smile.
He didn't see the sugar-making process, but he knew that the big boss Yuan Zhuan had three sugar-making machines, and these toothpick candies were made with them. The taste was much better than the ones on the market, and the fruity flavor was very rich. He bought all the ingredients for making it, so he knew very well that there were no messy things in it. This kind of natural candy was safe to eat, and he, who doesn't like sweets, could occasionally eat a few pieces.
The opening day was a good day specially chosen by Yuan Zhuan. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was suitable.
After setting off firecrackers, it was considered an opening. Several supplier bosses sent flower baskets. Cao Ming was responsible for receiving them, and then gave back some small gifts made of sugar, with different shapes, all of which were animal shapes that children liked. After all, who can have a family without several children?
In order to be friendly to the neighbors, Zhao’s mother sent small packets of fruit candies to all the surrounding shops. In this era, candy is still a good thing, and children especially like it.
The five-cent candies sold very well under Liu Da's relentless promotion. The little guy worked hard for the reward of one hundred fruit candies that Yuan Zhuan promised him. They come in sets, and all the friends around them are coaxing them to come over and support them. This one costs only ten cents, and that one costs two cents. A small amount adds up to a lot. In one morning, more than 500 pieces were sold out. The more expensive ones were sold out. The candies of small animal models only cost a few cents, and the price varied according to the weight. Dozens of them were sold. Zhao Yuxiang looked at the money in the drawer and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.
In the current shop, there are only some ordinary daily groceries, rice noodles, oil, paper towels, sanitary napkins, etc. There are also many adults with children. After all, it is a new shop, with a complete range of varieties, and it was opened on the first day. Except for candies, all other goods were given a 95% discount, so adults' purchasing power was taken advantage of. Yuan Zhuan and Zhao Yuxiang were busy and dizzy, Liu Ma also joined in, and Cao Ming was even more busy. , not even thinking about eating.
Chinese people have always been consistent in their tendency to join in the fun. There was an endless stream of people and children coming in and out of the shop. It was not until dusk that the number began to decrease. Only then did Zhao Yuxiang get out and rush back to cook, while the others continued to work.
Zhang Feng got the list and was about to go back to his room for dinner. As soon as he got up, he said, "Brother Zhang, wait a moment." Zhu Xiao said, and the heads of the family looked at each other for a few times, and they had already reached an agreement. This was also a test for Zhang Feng.
"Is there anything else?" Zhang Feng stopped, raised his eyebrows, and looked calm.
"Brother Zhang, look, is there anything you can exchange for us now? We haven't had a full meal for a long time." Zhu Xiao smiled coquettishly. Even though he was thick-skinned, he knew that he would be ready to eat at this time. Yes, a bit stinky and shameless.
However, the face is not as important as the belly.
"In exchange for gold, one tael of gold and one pound of rice will be exchanged at the same price."
"gold?"
"50 grams of gold per pound of rice, is the price too high?"
"Can one tael of gold keep you alive?"
I'm going to write a short chapter today. It's too late to get off work and I don't have enough time and energy. Let's treat it as a transitional chapter.
