The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 43 Take the first step to success

Li Jihe also thought it would be better to sell them separately, so that if one end was lost, there would still be another end.

He nodded and said, "Okay, but how do we distinguish this person?"

Shiliu had already thought about it, and immediately said: "Only my father has been to Huangkou Town, so he will take his second brother with him. As for my eldest brother and I, how about going to Dafengji?"

Before Li Jihe nodded, Li Rongzhang said eagerly, "Second sister, I also want to go together -"

Shiliu turned around and touched his head, "There's no need to go too far. Brother Zhang will be at home tomorrow grinding arrowroot with his mother and eldest sister, okay? When we come back tomorrow when business is good and we've all sold out, I'll take you there later." !”

Li Rongzhang listened and could only nod his head and said solemnly: "The candies made by the second sister are delicious! They will definitely be sold out!"

The division of labor in selling sugar has been clearly determined. Next, the most important thing is how to sell their sugar.

As Li Jihe, who has even been to the city and bought candy in the city, even if he is not familiar with the prices and the purchasing level of the people these days, he still knows a little more than Pomegranate and others. Therefore, he was the first one to be given They all stared.

He thought for a long time before he said: "The cheapest sugar on the market now is caramel candy, which costs five cents a pack, and there are ten pieces in it. The most expensive candy is pine nut candy, which costs fifty cents a pack, and there are ten pieces in it." There are also ten pieces. Among them, there are lotus seed candies, almond candies, etc., ranging from twenty to thirty coins.

According to me, our candy, even if it is not as good as pine nut candies, is still more delicious than caramel candy. The small pack sells for eight cents a pack, and the big pack sells for fifteen cents a pack. What do you think? "

None of the Song family members understood it, and there were many who only knew fifteen or eight articles. They had dozens of packages! If you buy them all, you can sell them for a lot of money!
But Pomegranate shook his head, "Things are rare but expensive. There are many shops and stalls selling caramel and pine nut candies on the market, but our candy is unique! Whether it is in the market or in the city, it is everywhere. There is no need to sell it. Just based on this, how can the price be only a little higher than that of caramel? What is the difference between this and the cabbage in the field? "

If they themselves think that the candy is just cabbage, the guests will not think that their candy is rare.

"I think the small package costs fifteen cents per package, and the big package costs thirty cents per package. That's about right!"

Li Jihe's mouth opened wide when he heard this, "Is the big bag the same price as marzipan?"

Pomegranate only said: "Our big bag contains twenty pieces!"

Seeing that her family members were frightened by her price, Pomegranate couldn't help but start to calculate the details with them, "Our arrowroot powder is so troublesome. It's artificial and energy-saving. Even if it's sold cheaply, we won't be able to bear it."

Li Jihe: But labor is the least valuable.
"And this sugar, it's sixty cents a pound!"

Mrs. Song: Sugar is so expensive, but to make these candies today, the two kilograms of sugar powder were not used up.
"And these two baskets of oranges cost three coins!"

Li Jihe/Song: Ouch! These two baskets of oranges have been used up. These candies cost at least three coins?
Li Jihe immediately subconsciously calculated on his fingers how much money they could sell these candies according to the price he said.

Pomegranate looked at him for a long time without understanding, and hurriedly reported a number, "According to dad's pricing, our forty large bags and thirty-five small bags, all sold out, cost eight coins and eighty cents! Pueraria lobata! It can be sold for one penny or two kilograms. Taking into account the manpower and other factors, the total cost is five cents of silver! In other words, if we sell them all, we will make less than four cents of silver!"

Li Jihe was surprised that his little girl could settle the accounts so quickly, even faster than him, but he couldn't care less about his surprise. He was shocked by the four coins at first, "How can I earn four coins?"

That tone of voice that said this is too much made Pomegranate unable to help but feel heartbroken. Although this is true, why make less when you can earn more?
A piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake sold for fifteen cents, and there was no shortage of people who were not short of money to buy it. This was her only piece of candy!
Ordinary people may not be willing to spend the money that can buy a pound of meat to buy a pack of candy, but they spend almost half a catty of meat to buy a pack of malt candies. Then add more and buy a pack of candy that you have never tasted before. Why not taste it?

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and all year round, people are the most willing to spend their money during this new year!

Not to mention people who are not short of money!
Therefore, Pomegranate lied without changing his expression, "Dad, the God of Wealth said it would be better to sell it at my price."

When Pomegranate said this, Li Jihe and the others remembered that their candy was made with the recipe given by the God of Wealth. It was the God of Wealth’s advice that was unique to them! Why is it not valuable?
In this way, Li Jihe agreed with the price of pomegranates and set the price at 30 ren for a large package and 15 ren for a small package.

Early on the next morning, under the watch of the three people who stayed behind, the four people from Shiliu carried their tightly covered baskets and walked along the bank of the Qinghe River towards the entrance of the village.

After crossing the stone bridge at the entrance of the village and walking onto the dirt road for a while, they parted ways.

Before parting, Pomegranate had to give her father Li Jihe another warning, "Dad, no matter whether anyone buys it or not, the price cannot be lowered. It must be sold at the fixed price! If you can't sell it all, take it home! According to what we practiced last night If you want to greet the guests, just relax, with the blessing of the God of Wealth, we will definitely be able to come back victorious!"

Li Jihe, who was returning home with victory, didn't understand. He just wondered why the little girl spoke in such a consistent way. She was indeed protected by the divine light of the God of Wealth.

He nodded vigorously, and couldn't help but tell the brother and sister to be careful and pay attention to safety. It would be okay if they couldn't sell it. Remember to go early and come back early. It was very cold.

In this way, the four of them moved step by step in opposite directions, drifting further and further away.

The sun struggled to push away the clouds and mist, casting wisps of golden light on the earth.

Today, it is really a beautiful weather!

All the way to the big market, the market was already bustling with people coming and going, people carrying baskets to buy vegetables, people strolling with their hands behind their backs, street vendors shouting -

Pomegranate looked around and finally chose a perfect location.

This location is a three-pointed point. One end goes to the residential area, and across the bridge is the official road to continue to Luoshui City. It is a must-pass road with the largest flow of people. The other end goes to the dock, and the other end is the direction they came from. .

There are a lot of stalls doing business at this Sanchakou. Just take a quick look and see a candy seller selling melon seeds, peanuts and roasted nuts. As expected, they have been closed in recent years. This episode was much more lively than usual!

Pomegranate and Li Rongzong stood in the gap next to a food stall. Pomegranate was about to let Li Rongzong hang a shelf specially made by Li Jihe to hang around his neck. It was similar to the cigarettes sold on the streets in later Republican movies. That kind of thing.

There is only no cigarette holder, just a flat piece of wood, which is much lighter.

After carrying it, Pomegranate took out two large and small bags of sugar from the basket and placed them in front of him. Then he used a palm-sized dustpan to spread oil paper and put in bulk fructose.

After placing it, Pomegranate glanced at the passers-by and raised his voice: "We sell candy! Dear uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters! The freshest orange fructose! It's delicious and sweet! Don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look. Take a look!"
