The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Qiao Minglang will personally control every step and process of making fish balls, to ensure that the fish balls they make are absolutely good, and those who buy them will come back to buy them after eating them.

Only good things, others bought theirs once, will come back to buy

The second time, over time, more people will buy from them.

The most important thing in doing business is integrity. Whether your reputation is good or bad directly determines whether your business can last for a long time.Especially in a small place like theirs, there are only a few people who come and go, whether your stuff is good or not, people around will hear about it, if your stuff is good, if you pass it on, more people will come to patronize .As long as your stuff is a little bad, others will soon know it.

"Mingming, look at this mashed fish, is this okay?"

"Well, let me see... this taste is a little weak, and put a little more salt in it."

Add a little salt to it, and the taste is almost the same.

If not for his nephew, Uncle Qiao knew that he would not be able to make the minced fish like yesterday, nor could he make such good fish balls.

The minced fish has been adjusted, mixed with balls and cooked in the pot.

The first pot of meatballs was up, and after tasting it, everyone said it was good, better than yesterday's fishballs.

"You guys are here, I'm going to smoke a cigarette." Seeing that there is no room for so many people in the kitchen at the moment, Uncle Qiao ran outside to smoke a couple of cigarettes while he was free.Seeing several families busy together, Qiao Chunyuan smiled a little, and felt that there was hope for this day in his heart.

Uncle Qiao knew in his heart that without this nephew, the few of them would not know how to make tofu, and they would not be able to make such good fish balls. Naturally, this business would not be possible.The few of them were able to go out to do business, thanks to the blessing of this nephew.

There are so many children in their family. This nephew has been smart since he was a child. His academic performance is still the best in the school, and he was admitted to the best school in the town to go to junior high school.If my nephew can continue to study, maybe he can really learn something, but it's a pity that the family has been delayed.

With his nephew's ability, he will definitely be able to earn more money in the future, but it's a pity that his brother left just like that, and he will not be blessed to enjoy the good life brought by his children in the future.Why! ~Uncle Qiao couldn't help sighing in his heart when he thought of my younger brother who had left before these old buddies.

Sitting here, I took two puffs of cigarettes, and said to my father, "Dad, you are here, I will go over there to see what is busy."

"Well, go."

After the father and son said a few words, Uncle Qiao continued to work.

When the fish balls are ready and the tofu outside is also ready, the sky is slightly brighter now, a little earlier than yesterday, everyone has to put things into baskets and get ready to go.

The bean curd they made sold very well yesterday, but today they still made two barrels of bean curd, brothers Qiao Mingjing and Qiao Mingzhong were in charge of selling the bean curd.Yesterday, the two brothers followed their father to a neighboring village to sell things. On the way back, they took a walk in the village before they sold out the remaining tofu flowers.

Today, Qiao Mingzhong said that he wanted to go to the town to sell with his uncle and asked his father what he meant.

Qiao Chunfu didn't object, and just said, "Fine, you can go if you want. If it sells well in the town, we can do more tomorrow." It's just that the journey to the town is a bit long, and at most it will take a few more walks. Just walking.

"You go, you can sell it in the town, maybe it will be better in the town."

But it’s not good for all of them to go to the town. There are several villages near them, and the distance between the villages is not too far. Some of them go to the neighboring villages, and they can sell things without having to travel that far. road.

"Is everything packed? Nothing is missing, remember to bring the scale."

"Bring them all."

Today Qiao Minglang was going to take his third sister and fourth brother to the town together, lest the two older children run into the river to catch fish when he was not at home.

The water in the river is so deep that if you are not careful, you will die.

In case something happened to him, it would be too late for him to regret it, so why not bring the two little ones to the town.It just so happens that he can also teach the two little ones how to do business, and it is a good skill to learn, so no matter what they do in the future, they will never be hungry.

As soon as he proposed to take the two young children to the town, the two children were so happy that they couldn't find the north, and they had been waiting to go to the town with them from a long time ago.

"It's really alright if you want to walk with uncle? Don't go halfway and refuse to leave, but no one will carry you." Before leaving, Qiao Minglang still asked a little worriedly.

They rushed to the town to set up a stall, and were going to take their cousin's car there.

A car can't carry so many people. If the two young ones want to go with them, they can only walk with the uncle. When they come back, they have to walk back together.These two children, one is nine years old and the other is ten years old this year. They have never traveled far since they were young, and they have never even been to the town. Qiao Minglang doubted whether they could walk such a long distance to the town.

Qiao Xiaohui didn't agree with her elder brother taking her sister and younger brothers to the town. The elder brother and the others were going to the town to do business, not to play in the town, so she also advised her younger sister: "Yeah, why don't you stay at home? Don't follow."

"I don't, I'm going!" Sanmei Qiao felt that her eldest brother and second sister looked down on them too much, wrinkled her little nose, and said dissatisfied: "Isn't it just a walk? We don't need to be carried by others, we can walk on my own."

"Brother." Qiao Xiaohui's temperament was soft, and she couldn't control her wild-tempered sister, so she looked at her brother and waited to see what he had to say.

"Then go together." Qiao Minglang smiled, and said, "It's good to go out and have a look, first to get to know the way, and then to get to know the way later." He thought that in his previous life, he would go everywhere with the old peddler since he was three years old. He went to sell things in the streets and alleys. He has come here since he was a child, and he doesn't think that raising children is to give them a good life, and he doesn't have to do anything, so as not to develop a lazy temper.

With the current state of their family, he can't give these younger brothers and sisters a good life for the time being, and it still depends on them working together.

Qiao Minglang said a few words to the uncle, so that the uncle didn't have to spoil them, so he handed over his younger brother and sister to the uncle.

"Don't worry, I can't lose them." Uncle Qiao bent over and carried the burden. These few plates of tofu are not very heavy. He picked them with ease, so that the elder nephew doesn't have to worry about the two younger ones. He will help watch over them, " You go first, and we will follow behind."

"Let's go, don't waste time here, it will be too late."

"Okay, let's go."

After getting things ready, the people from several families went out together.

Qiao Mingyong took his little cousin on a bicycle and left first. They had to get to the town early to get a seat, or they would be taken up if they went late.They had good luck yesterday and found such a small place. If they went earlier today, they might be able to occupy a wider spot.

When the men of the family went out, Aunt Qiao and Aunt Huang Yan were also preparing to take things to the village market to sell, "Ayan, let's go too."

"Hey, I'm here." Huang Yan responded, went to wash up, and came to carry the burden to sell things.

***

This day is not a day for the town to go to the market, and there are many fewer people in the town than yesterday.

Pegasus Town is the largest town near them, and people from several villages come here to do business, so no matter what time of day, there will be more people in the market here than in the villages below.Even if it's not a market day, there are still quite a few people in the vegetable market who come to set up stalls to sell things.

People who do business are thinking about catching up early, buying more things and making more money when they go there early, so everyone comes here early.

When they arrived, many people had already put their things down.Seeing that other people came earlier than them, Qiao Mingyong muttered, "I thought we were already early today."

Hearing what his cousin said, Qiao Minglang laughed.

They arrived earlier today, so they returned to the same place where they set up the stall yesterday.

The old man selling vegetables next door had just put the vegetables down. When he saw them, he smiled and said to them, "Here we come, today is early."

"Grandpa, yes, it's early today." Qiao Minglang greeted the old man in a familiar tone, and when he saw the fresh and tender vegetables on the old man's stand, he even praised the old man's vegetables.

"Hehe, it's all kinds of blindness."

Today, there are two more big pumpkins on the grandpa's stall. The pumpkins at home are ripe, so the grandpa picked two baskets and sold them.Pumpkins are heavy and they sell cheaply. Many people grow them in their yards. In fact, pumpkins are not as easy to sell as cabbage.

If it weren't for the fact that the pumpkins in the garden grew so big, the pumpkins would be much more ripe once they were ripe, and they couldn't finish eating them by themselves, so they had to pick them up in the town to see if they could be sold at a cheaper price. up.

Qiao Minglang knew that the old man was speaking modestly. It was a hot day, cabbage was difficult to grow, and it was easy to grow worms. These vegetables looked like they were carefully handled by the old man. There were not many worm holes on the leaves of the vegetables. Someone must catch the worms from time to time. The leaves were not eaten by insects.

"Hehe..." The old man laughed out loud at the boy's praise.

Seeing his little cousin chatting so skillfully with others, Qiao Mingyong looked like he had just met his cousin.It should be said that since he came out to set up a stall yesterday, he has refreshed his understanding of this little cousin. He used to only know that this little cousin at home is the best at reading, but now he also knows that the little cousin is so good at doing business when he goes out. Ashamed.

Although Qiao Mingyong has made a lot of good buddies outside, this is the first time he has come out to do business, and he doesn't know how to talk to these elderly grandparents, so he can only stand by and look at his cousin Talk to the uncle.

It was still early at this time, and not many people came to buy things. After a while, there were people walking around and selling vegetables in the market, and gradually there were more people.
