After thinking about it, Aunt Ge went to Gu Yin's place to return the steamer, and also gave the money from the sale to the past.
After ordering the copper coins, Mrs. Wang did some calculations in her heart, knowing that the other party was very honest and didn't pay any money, there was a smile on her face, and she became more talkative.
"You look very nice, so why should you be such a nephew. But I'll be the one to say the least. If he comes back next time, I won't spare him!"
"There won't be another time." Aunt Ge quickly assured, and then hesitated how to speak to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her.
After all, although she thinks of a win-win situation, Ge Dalong's provocation comes first. If she proposes to cooperate at this moment, she is afraid that they will suspect that her family has ulterior motives from the beginning.
Wang Shi and Gu Yin had already started to close the stall, and they were going to leave when they finished packing, but Aunt Ge still stood still.
Gu Yin asked her if she had anything else to do.
Aunt Ge closed her eyes, made up her mind, and told them her thoughts about cooperation.
Gu Yin pondered, Wang Shi turned her head to see that she had closed her mouth without saying a word.
"Why don't you come with us, let's sit down and discuss carefully?"
Aunt Ge naturally agreed, and helped the guy in Gu Yin's hand, and the three returned to Jinyi Lane together.
Xiao Wuan greeted him when he heard his mother's voice, holding a mop in his hand.
Seeing that there was a stranger, he quickly hid beside Gu Yin, pulled up the corner of her skirt and stopped talking.
Aunt Ge lost her child in her early years, and she was about the same age as Xiao Wu'an now.
She likes children the most, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't be afraid of good children, I'm not a bad person."
While talking, Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin went to the stove to put things, and invited Aunt Ge to the main room to speak.
Xiao Wu'an lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, so he squatted in the corner and began to wipe the floor.
Aunt Ge couldn't take his eyes off him, and said enviously, "This child in your family is too smart, he knows how to help with housework at such a young age."
There is no parent who doesn't like to listen to others compliment their children, Wang Shi also laughed and said, "He was diligent and meticulous since he was a child, but he was a little shy."
After the greeting, Aunt Ge talked about the business, and then looked at Mrs. Wang to ask her what she meant. After all, in her cognition, Wang's mother-in-law is so vicious, and she must be in charge of the family's affairs.
Hearing that her family wanted to help her sell steamed buns and open up sales, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed at first, and then thought of something, "I don't care about the business, you should discuss it with my daughter-in-law."
When he was talking, he saw that Xiao Wuan was struggling to wipe, and he also found a mop to work with him.
Gu Yin poured a bowl of water for Aunt Ge and smiled: "My mother is really good. She quarreled with me that day because she was in a hurry. She really listens to me in business matters. Aunt may wish to tell me directly."
Aunt Ge took the water and didn't go around in circles, she said straight to the point: "I won't hide it from you if it's cooperation, my old man and I are both old, and we can make a hundred or so cakes at the most. Generally, the morning market is more than half, my family If we are rushing to work on the wharf like today, customers don’t have the time to find other stalls, and our products can only be sold for more than an hour.”
Her aunt took a sip of water and continued: "We also tried to invite people, but they all set up new doors within a few months. Our stall is in a good location, and the rent is expensive, plus Ge Dalong's asshole Don’t be stingy with food, drink, and take what you want… I’m not afraid of your jokes, our husband and wife may not earn as much every month as yours.”
Mrs Wang listened and said, "I heard Lao Liutou say that there are so many people waiting for the transfer of the good stalls on the dock. If your husband and wife can't do anything, why don't you transfer the stalls?"
Aunt Ge's eyes darkened, and she recounted the loss of her daughter in her early years.
Although many years have passed, she can't help but red-eyed when it comes to her sadness, "As long as I don't die, I have to keep this stall for a day. I'm looking forward to my family's return one day..."
Wang Shi was soft-hearted and could not hear these the most, and her eyes were red.
The Ge family still has hope, but his man and eldest son are dead, not even the "what if".
She left the main room with her head sullen, Gu Yin sighed softly, and handed the handkerchief to Aunt Ge, "Don't be sad, be careful."
Aunt Ge took the handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and said sternly: "Don't mention those, I said these to show the little lady that my family is really sincere in cooperation."
Gu Yin nodded, she just needed such an opportunity, after all, there were still a few months to prepare for Xiao Wu'an's beam repair.
She said, "Auntie is a bright person, and I'll get straight to the point with you. The food we make is low-profit, and only two buns can make a penny. Look, Auntie, how much is your share?"
Aunt Ge has been eating food for most of her life. Gu Yin knows how much money she can earn from anything.
But because of her openness and honesty, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yin and said, "Since your mother-in-law can make you head of the family, obviously you have an idea. How suitable do you think it is?"
"Auntie, what do you think about 40%?"
According to Gu Yin's idea, the Ge family has such a convenient stall location, so they don't have to cooperate with her family. Even if the account is divided into five or five, some people are willing. But it's true that their own profits are really thin, and the big spenders are close at hand, so they can't give up that much.
Aunt Ge's inner estimate was 30%. What she thought was that although it was easy for her to help other people sell things—there were two companies who came to ask before, but the first one made things that tasted bad, and the second one was even more annoying. , Not to mention cutting corners, the ingredients used are not fresh! There are many stalls on the wharf, and there is a lot of competition. If you change to the first two, you won't be able to make money, let's not talk about it, you won't have to smash the signboard of your own stall. It was Gu Yin's skill that gave Aunt Ge the confidence and confidence that she could achieve a win-win result.
I'm sorry for being first, Aunt Ge thought about it and said, "It's still 30%."
Gu Yin also didn't want to take advantage of others, and finally decided to give up 40% of the profit, and agreed on the number of buns. After agreeing to make a contract the next day, Aunt Ge was sent out of the house.
At this time, Wang Shi also adjusted his emotions, "Have you discussed everything?"
Gu Yin nodded, "I'll give you 40% of the profits. I'll make 100 more and send them to them tomorrow."
Wang Shi laughed at first, but then became worried again, "We usually make a hundred or so, tomorrow we will make a hundred more, and the total will add up to two hundred. So are you going to sleep at night?"
Gu Yin said it was okay, "It's enough to get up an hour early. Besides, we only do the morning market, and I can make up for sleep in the afternoon. Doing 100 more a day, deducting the distribution to Aunt Ge's family, our family can get three more a day. Ten pennies!"
"It's my fault, otherwise you don't need to be so tired." Wang looked at her own pair of claws, which were also five fingers. It was not a problem to wrap wontons in front of them. When they got to Baozi, the one that came out was the same as Gu Yin's. It was a world of difference than that. After thinking for a while, Wang asked, "Is it still because of Wu'an's restraint that you are fighting so hard?"
Gu Yin smiled and didn't answer. She turned around and went to the stove and brought out the money box, "Do you want to count the copper coins, mother?"
Wang's eyes lit up when he heard the sound of the copper coins, and he happily began to count the coins.
After counting down, I actually earned a hundred cents that day!
Yesterday, when she knew that she earned fifty pennies, she was so happy and daydreaming. Today, although she was happy after counting, she was not so enthusiastic.
"Otherwise, let's forget about Wu'an's education. Anyway, he is so smart, let's find a gentleman, and teach him is always enough." Wang shied back.
"Mother," Gu Yin looked at her helplessly, "We've already agreed, it's not even years ago."
Wang slapped his fingers and counted. Today, they sold a lot because of the commotion. Tomorrow, there will be no more dramas to sing, but when they start working with the Ge family, they should earn about the same as today.
In this way, one month's rent is deducted, and one can earn two or two half.
It's already September, the twelfth lunar month is cold and freezing, the canal will freeze, ships will not pass, and there will be no business if there is no one on the dock.
It only takes two months to calculate the full count, and fifteen taels are still far away!
However, looking at her daughter-in-law's confident appearance, Mrs. Wang didn't say much, but secretly said in her heart that no matter whether it was successful or not, she would remember it.
Gu Yin counted the winnings here, and she was also making plans in her heart.
There are a lot of steamed buns made today. Without Ge Dalong's interruption, one hundred and fifty buns would never be sold. Tomorrow, it should be enough to make a total of 200 porridges, but I need to prepare more porridge, especially when the weather is cold soon, I should not worry about selling hot porridge soup.
The first two days are the trial operation. I bought the most flour, and other materials will be enough. These two days can also be regarded as finding out some ways. I can prepare more materials that are not easy to put away, such as grain and oil, so that I don’t have to go out every day. toss.
As soon as she told Wang, there was nothing wrong with Wang. She first collected the copper coins in the money box, and then went back to the house to get back the pieces of silver left over at the beginning, and returned them all to Gu Yin.
"In the future, all the money and money will be under your control, and your brain is more active than mine, so you can use it as you please."
Gu Yin nodded and said, "Then I will show you the account book every day."
Wang Shi waved his hands again and again, "Don't, don't, no, I will faint when I see the words. We are a family, is it possible that I am afraid that you are not sincere?"
Gu Yin blinked slyly, "Mother, don't say it so deadly, I steal ten pennies every day, so you don't know."
"The family has let you be the one, and you only steal ten pennies, so you don't have any prospects!" Wang slapped her lightly in a funny way.
After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out to buy things together.
Because they had to prepare ingredients for many days this time, the two split up. Gu Yin went to buy meat and vegetables, while Wang was in charge of buying heavier rice noodles.
After half an hour, the two met at the agreed place.
When they were separated, the Wang family was fine, but at this moment, her face was full of anger.
Gu Yin asked her what was wrong, and Wang said, "I went to buy noodles first, and then went to buy rice. The rice shop was in a mess and didn't know what was going on. If I didn't listen to me, they sent me away, and let me I'll go or buy it from another store tomorrow. Isn't this bullying!"
Wang went to Daxing Rice Shop not far from Zhenyi Lane. It is an old-fashioned shop. It has always been fair in business.
There are other rice shops in the town, but because of the good business of Daxing rice shops, similar shops nearby cannot compete, and they all open far away, and it takes half an hour to come and go.
Even if Wang's strength was strong, Gu Yin couldn't bear to go so far with Mi on her back.
"I'll accompany my mother to take a look. If this one is really not for sale, let's find a cart and go to a farther place to have a look."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home first, put things away, and came out.
As Wang said, the Daxing rice shop was in a mess at this time, dozens of bags of rice were piled up at the door, and the guys stood in two rows with their heads drooping like defeated roosters.
A young man who looked like a shopkeeper was pointing at someone and scolding: "You think I'm a newcomer to be bullied, don't you? How long have you been in this industry, and now come and tell me that you can't tell the difference between new rice and old rice? You are treating me like this? Be a fool!"
The lead worker hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't be angry, young shopkeeper, it's not that the little one deliberately fooled you, it's really that the little ones do the work of carrying and entertaining on a daily basis. The rest of the work is the responsibility of the previous shopkeeper. Today, the former shopkeeper is in charge. As soon as we left, the young people didn’t know why the two kinds of rice were mixed together. But since you can take over the job of the shopkeeper, why don’t you come…”
The price difference between new rice and old rice is doubled. If you do not distinguish carefully and sell it, it will not only be a loss, but also a signboard that has been in business for many years.
The young shopkeeper had a sullen face, and his back molars creaked in anger.
There were already many people around to watch the excitement, and Qing waited to see the appearance of this young shopkeeper.
"How dare this guy talk to the shopkeeper like this, he doesn't want his job?"
"You don't know, this Daxing rice shop was originally the property of the second room of the Wen family, but this new young shopkeeper is a person from the big room. This is obviously a two-bedroom arena!"
At this time, Gu Yin understood after hearing it, no wonder the guy dared to chase the guests when he came up, and he was busy fighting infighting!
Gu Yin didn't want to get involved in other people's disputes, and was about to call Wang to leave.
But I saw the guy in front of the shopkeeper who was choking suddenly turned his head and shouted, "What are you looking at? It's closed today!"
While talking, the guy winked at the other people, and several tall men stepped forward one after another, reaching out to push and shove the lively pedestrians.
The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts, Gu Yin was thin, and somehow she was squeezed in front of the people.
Seeing that the guy stretched out his hand towards Gu Yin, Wang Shi immediately clamped it and scolded, "Just talk when you talk, what do you mean by doing it?!"
The guy actually recognized him and scolded: "It's you woman again! I said that if you don't sell it today, what are you doing here? Haven't eaten rice in a few lifetimes?!"
Gu Yin got a little angry when she heard this, "It's natural to come to the rice shop to buy rice. If you don't know how to divide it, I will divide it myself."
The dude sneered and said, "You little lady, don't make mad words, these new rice and old rice are similar in appearance, and the old Xingzun can't tell the difference! You should stay where you can stay cool!"
Gu Yin is still neither humble nor arrogant, "Then I will only buy what I have divided. Even Chen rice, I will also give the price of new rice!"
