Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"Madam boss, I don't want the braised egg. Can you give me a flower from the basket in front of your store?" A customer dressed as a young woman took the half roast duck handed over by Yang Huamei and made her request with a red face and embarrassment.

Yang Huamei was slightly stunned for a moment before she realized that the young female customer was attracted by the flowers in the basket that the Luo family had sent to the store entrance early in the morning!

"Of course you can. Which one do you like? I'll give it to you."

“The pink one.”

"Okay, take it. Please continue to take care of my business next time."

The young female customer got the flower she liked, held it in her hand and sniffed it. She nodded happily at the faint fragrance and said, "If the roast duck tastes good, I will definitely come to your house to buy it next time."

After seeing off the female customer, other onlookers nearby also wanted to ask Yang Huamei for flowers.

Yang Huamei knew that the big flower basket prepared by Qing'er was so beautiful. It was filled with colorful flowers. Qing'er spent a lot of money to buy it in the county town and asked someone in the county town to deliver it at a specific time.

To be honest, when it was first delivered to her, even Yang Huamei herself was amazed and wanted to have one.

But she held back and placed the flower basket obediently at the door of the store to decorate the shop. Unexpectedly, the flower basket could attract her as well as other passing customers, especially female customers, who could not walk after seeing so many beautiful flowers.

This feeling is just like when I was a kid and went to see the bride, I loved watching the moment when the red veil was lifted and saw the bride's head full of velvet flowers.

Often those velvet flowers are distributed by the bride to children. The flowers are beautiful and given by the bride, so they can bring joy.

Maybe the family shop opened today, and the flowers in these two flower baskets also played this role.

"Boss lady, can you give me a flower too?"

"I want the bright red one."

"I want the one with the buds..."

"I'm sorry, this flower basket is a gift from my niece. It's a decoration, not a gift." Yang Huamei smiled and rejected those people's requests, "If you can take care of our business, you can consider giving away two flowers for free."

You don't care about the business, and you want to get paid for nothing? What are you thinking!

Although Lao Xu did a lot of ideological work with me before the business opened, the most important one was that customers are our purses and our bread and butter, and we must treat them with respect.

However, in Yang Huamei's opinion, those who should be rejected should be rejected. Doing business is an equal position, especially since these people in front of her are only potential customers, not real customers.

Sure enough, after being rejected by Yang Huamei, some people left, while others went into the roast duck restaurant to consume.

Yang Huamei hurriedly followed behind and called them in. At the same time, she kept an eye on the outside to prevent anyone from stealing the flowers in the chaos.

When the customer bought the roast duck and left, Yang Huamei sent him to the door and personally picked the flower that the customer liked and handed it to him with both hands.

After a busy period, Yang Huamei returned to the store, where Xu Yuanming was preparing the next batch of roast duck.

"Old Xu, did you sell a furnace?" "Hey, you found out!"

Xu Yuanming was in a good mood. He hooked the roast ducks that had been marinated in advance in a large basin with iron hooks and carefully hung them one by one into the special roast duck oven.

"Twenty roast ducks in one oven. I was thinking last night that we would be thankful if we could sell one oven of roast duck on the first day of opening!" Yang Huamei said excitedly, "I didn't expect that the first oven would be sold out in less than an hour after opening. This is really great!"

According to the costs the two had calculated before, even if there was a discount today, the first day of opening, with a roast duck costing twenty-five cents, after deducting various costs, they could still make five or six cents off a roast duck.

Twenty roast ducks cost one hundred coins!

My god, it only took a short while and I made a hundred coins! It's not that hard to make money!

"This is the first day. We have a discount and give away braised eggs. It's not surprising that we sell a lot." Xu Yuanming analyzed to Yang Huamei while hanging the roast duck. "It won't be so good later. If sales are so good every day, it will be too easy to make money. If it's too easy to make money, everyone on the street will make money, so it won't be our turn!"

"That's true, Old Xu, let me help you hang up."

"No, no, I can do it alone. You go to the front to solicit business."

"The roast duck is almost sold out now. The second batch hasn't come out yet. I've attracted customers but there's nothing to sell. I'll just go count the money!"

Yang Huamei ran excitedly into the counter and sorted out the copper coins she had earned today.

Xu Yuanming pulled the bellows to increase the fire and temperature in the furnace.

Today is the first day we opened, we have no experience and we can’t control the rhythm well.

I originally thought I would bake 20 pieces in a furnace and sell them slowly, but I didn't expect that customers would come in droves to buy things. At that time, I was busy serving customers and forgot to refill the furnace.

The correct approach is to put a new raw duck into the oven to roast it immediately after selling one to fill the empty space. This is to ensure a steady supply of stock for sale, instead of like now, where half-cooked roast ducks are still in the oven, and when customers come later, there is still no stock in the store. It is impossible for customers to stand here stupidly and wait for half an hour!

Oops, mistake, mistake!

Let’s talk about the guests from Old Yang’s family.

Everyone had discussed it on the way that after the carriage entered the town, the first stop would be to where Yang Huamei and Xu Yuanming lived.

"I inquired about the location of my aunt's roast duck restaurant in advance. It's in Wa City, and it's not convenient for our carriage to park there." Yang Ruoqing rode a horse beside the carriage and spoke loudly to the nearest carriage driven by Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongzhi.

"We will go to where my aunt and her family live to rest first. Today, my aunt and uncle are in the store, and my grandma, Sister Hua, and Aunt Guihua will stay at home to take care of the children."

"What's going on? Today is such a nice day. Your new store is opening, but you didn't bring your children to the store to have some fun?" Yang Huaming's voice asked from the carriage behind.

As soon as he finished speaking, he got hit on the forehead by Liu's finger.

"What are you thinking? Why would you bring such a young child to such a noisy and dirty place like Wa City? You are so stupid!"

Yang Huaming rubbed his forehead, and then realized what was happening. He chuckled, "That's true. Wait until you're older before going. You're too young to go to places where there are a lot of people, and there's blood."

In Washi, people slaughter pigs, fish, chickens and geese, and the smell of blood is indeed strong. It is not suitable for infants and young children to go to such places.

Liu looked up at Yang Ruoqing who was riding in front of her and asked, "Qing'er, please continue to tell us about the arrangements. When we get there, we'll first find a place to stay, and then what? Where are we going to eat lunch?" (End of this chapter)
