Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

The two children were so happy that they thanked them again and again, "Thank you, Fourth Master. The younger one will definitely work hard. As long as he stutters, he won't be paid."

They had no talent in practicing martial arts and thought they would be kicked out. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wen, who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, actually arranged other things for them.Anyway, no matter what they do, as long as it can fill their stomachs, they are willing to do it.

"You bastard, I'm not Zhou Bapi, can I deduct your wages?" Xiaosi snorted and hung a salted duck on the hook.

Jin Lai scratched his head, "Fourth Master, what is Zhou Papi?"

"It's the kind of boss who only lets you work but doesn't let you eat."

Xiaosi looked at the two people's big black eyes and laughed. While leading people to sell goods, he told them the story of Zhou Papi.

Bai Yunxi stood at the door, listening to the sighs and indignation inside, and twitched the corner of her mouth.

Not only did she tell the story of Zhou Papi, but she also told the story of the chicken crowing in the middle of the night.

The ninth day of October is auspicious and the market should open.

Early in the morning, Xiaosi brought Qingsong and Jinfeng Jinlai to the shop. With the sound of firecrackers, the duck shop opened for business.The first people it attracted were the people living around it and some passers-by.

Baiyunxi had already suggested to Xiaosi that he prepare a tasting plate with small bamboo sticks on it for easy access, so that the customers who stop by can try it first. Only if it tastes good can they retain people.

Xiaosi is now very smart and knows how to do it. Not only did he prepare small plates for tasting, but he also invited a lion dance team to perform in front of the door, attracting many people to stop and watch.

A square table was set up at the door, with several small plates for tasting on it. Jin Lai stood at the back to greet the guests, while Jin Feng went to the front and shouted loudly to attract people to come over.

"Eat all the ducks, the new store is opening, enjoy drinking and tasting, and all the uncles and aunts passing by will come and take a look."

The opening of the store is already attractive. In addition to watching the lion dance, you can also try the food. Many people gathered around, tasted and asked about the price.
Xiaosi was also clever and named the salted duck eggs top-grade salted duck eggs, top-quality preserved eggs, etc. The name made it feel unusual, especially the pattern on the preserved eggs, which resembled pine trees and looked very nice.

"Preserved eggs are good, how do you sell them?"

"The opening reward is nine cents for a preserved egg and six cents for a salted duck egg. Whenever a customer spends over one hundred cents, he or she will receive a preserved egg or a salted duck egg, choose one."

"Duck wings and duck paws, whole ducks, purchased by the pound, and if you spend more than [-] cents, you will get a duck wing or duck paw as a gift."

Listening to the quotation, some people think it is expensive, while others are willing to pay to try it. After all, Fucheng has a high spending power, so many people are very willing to taste it.

Coupled with Xiaosi's ardent praise, anyone who was well-dressed bought some matching clothes.

Some people start, and the rest of the people buy more or less. After a busy day, the income is still very good.

Qingsong finished fiddling with the last abacus bead and said, "Fourth Master, I've calculated it. Today's profit is ten guan and five hundred wen."

Xiaosi listened and nodded, "It's barely okay. We don't have all the goods at the moment, so it's good to have such a profit. It's getting late, so lock the door and go back first."

When he got home, he would discuss with his mother whether he should go to a nearby village to collect some duck eggs for emergencies.

Jin Lai and Jin Feng now also live in the mansion. Qing Song has made a room in the backyard for the two of them to live in temporarily. The two of them go out through the back door every day without attracting attention.

After receiving the news that Xiao Si had entered the house, Bai Yunxi asked Mrs. Zhu to start serving food.
"Mom, I'm back." "Well, wash your hands quickly and eat."

After a tiring day, only when you have a full stomach can you have the energy to talk about things.

Xiao Si ate two bowls of rice in a row and put down the bowl, "I have been busy for a long day, and I am finally full now."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't delay eating. Everyone takes turns eating, otherwise your stomach and intestines will not be able to bear it after a long time."

Bai Yunxi looked at him disapprovingly. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, she did not show up today.
"I'm exhausted. No matter how much money I make, it's useless. I still have to hand it over to the hospital."

Xiaosi scratched his head and smiled, "It's just these two days, it will be fine when the event is over."

The grand opening reward proposed by my mother was really good, and it really captured the hearts of the guests. Many guests bought more things just for the preserved egg.

"By the way, mother, with this sales volume, the goods I brought can last for a month and a half at most. In order to prepare for emergencies, should we go to the surrounding villages to collect some duck eggs and ducks?"

"I have thought about this, but if we want the goods in the shop to be of the same quality and have no difference in taste, it would be better to transport them from our home. For real foodies, the place where the duck is produced affects its taste. Ours Ducks swim in clear water rivers, eat young leaves and catch insects on the grass, the quality of the meat is high.”

"If you buy local ducks, even though they are raised free-range at farmers' homes, the quality is not bad, but if you want to have the same taste as the ducks we raise, it probably won't work."

Xiaosi listened and nodded solemnly,

"I understand what mom said. If we want to build a reputation, we really can't cut corners. We have to insist on consistent quality so as not to disappoint those old gourmets."

Selling food means selling reputation. If you cut corners, the first people to notice are the old customers.

He learned this lesson when he and shopkeeper Jiao were delivering roast duck overnight.

The reason was that it rained heavily that day and the restaurant's roast duck was not sold out. The chef was reluctant to deal with it, so he thought of reheating it and continuing to sell it the next day. Unexpectedly, he offended a gourmet who often went to the restaurant to taste it.After Shopkeeper Jiao learned of the situation, he fired the head chef without saying a word. He even came to apologize to the old man and gave him a freshly baked roast duck as an apology.

Calculating this way, not only did you not save any money, but you also lost a duck and the reputation of your guests.

Thinking of this, Xiaosi gave up the idea of ​​acquiring duck eggs.

"Mom reminded me that I was the one who made the mistake."

"It's true that you are worried about shortages. We have to prepare in advance and not let the store be starved. Now the store sells mostly salty goods. If we want to increase the variety in the future, we have to prepare a warehouse. Especially for roast duck, we must cook it first and eat it first. The ducks you bring must be alive.”

"So, I'm going to go to Yahang tomorrow to see if there is a suitable small village. Let's buy one so that the ducks you bring can have a storage place in the future."

Until then, the store will only supply a limited amount of roast duck every day. As long as it is slaughtered, marinated and sent directly to the city for roasting.

"Okay, I will follow mother's arrangements."

After breakfast the next day, Xiaosi and others went to the shop early, and Baiyunxi was also planning to take Wenyou to visit Yaxing.

"Mom, do you want me to accompany you?" Zhang Yishan looked at her mother-in-law and spoke softly.
