The aunt laughed and said in a low voice, "Yes, but not many. Come here early so you can choose from many varieties."
"Okay, I'll be there when the time is right." After the aunt asked for the news she wanted, she led Dou away. She went home and cooked quickly. After the meal, she had to line up immediately to buy discounted food.
If you don't cook, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. Their family has a large population. She has done some calculations. If she buys discounted vegetables every day, she can save 3 yuan a month.
Since the supermarket launched discounted dishes, I thought it would have no effect. After all, the dishes have been stored for a day and are somewhat stale. Unexpectedly, once it was launched, it became popular among housewives.
The price is nearly one-third cheaper than during the day, so it won’t affect you at all if you buy it back and eat it.
Now, at seven o'clock in the evening, everyone who comes to buy discounted food has to queue up.
A few aunts have also learned a lot. According to the demand during the day, they deliberately buy more dishes and discount them in the evening. Not to mention the large number of people, the reputation of the supermarket has also gone out.
Seeing that the customer had left, the little aunt repeated what she had just said, "I said I thought of a good idea, but you two didn't hear me!"
The aunt put down the scale and clapped her hands, "I'm not busy, you tell me, I'm listening!"
"That's right, say it again!"
The sister-in-law walked up to the two of them and said, "Isn't the college entrance examination starting tomorrow? The weather is very hot these days. Why don't we let the candidates get three popsicles for ten cents with their admission tickets? What don't you think? Small profits but quick turnover?"
Usually, popsicles cost a dime or two, which costs one and a half cents.
My aunt didn’t agree with it, “Three for ten cents, so you’ll earn nearly one cent and seven less for one!”
"No, how many students can there be, no matter how small the profit but quick turnover." The second aunt agreed with the elder sister, and the students only went to school for a short time. Now they sell two sticks for ten cents, and they can sell hundreds of sticks every day.
Su Mian packed up her things and came out with Wei Min, who was listening to the discussion between her three aunts.
"I think they will be sold at the original price. The school has arranged accommodation for the students. Most of the candidates will rest and eat in the school and will not come out in the past few days. Not many like me and Wei Min can live with relatives. And students in the county, some of whom are assigned to exam centers far away, also live on campus." Su Mian was telling the truth, and there are candidates who have to review the next one after taking this exam.
"That's it!" My sister-in-law was a little frustrated. She finally came up with a solution, but everyone rejected it.
"Okay, little sister, don't be downcast. It's a good thing to have some ideas and be willing to use your brain. The more you think about it, the more suitable it will be." The second aunt is the best at comforting people.
For three consecutive days on July 15th, 16th and 17th, Su Mian and Wei Min worked non-stop, completing one exam and another exam.
On the afternoon of the third day, the last English test was completed, and the entire test center was filled with cheers.
Maybe it's true relief.
Su Mian walked out of the classroom calmly. She knew that she had performed very well in this college entrance examination and it would definitely not be a problem to get into the Second Military Medical University.
Wei Min ran out of the examination room next door, hugged Su Mian, and asked happily: "How did the exam go?" The two of them had agreed to ask each other after all the exams were completed.
"Not bad, how about you?" Su Mian knew that Wei Min did well in the exam when she saw the smile on her face.
"Well, Su Mian, I saw the Provincial Military Medical University waving to me!"
"Haha, you are really not humble at all!"
Wei Min tilted his head and said very confidently: "That's right, modesty makes people fall behind!"
The two girls walked back talking and laughing, and saw a group of people surrounding the supermarket from afar.
