Otherworldly Days

The sunset in the west has faded, and the people in the yard are sent away. Their work has not been finished yet.Cao Dapeng and Chen Hong brought over the radishes and vegetables pulled from the field. Cao Xiangnan weighed them with a newly bought scale and paid Chen Hong the money on the spot.

When Chen Hong got the money, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and her steps seemed to float.

It was getting dark, and Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng were still washing vegetables in the yard, preparing to pickle them to make sauerkraut.

In the previous life, he lived with his grandma. Cao Xiangnan had seen his grandma make all kinds of pickled vegetables since he was a child, so he naturally knew how to make these things.He ate a lot of these things when he was a child, so he didn't like to eat these things when he grew up, but the taste was much better than the pickles of this era.

There are also pickles here, but the taste is so delicious, it is completely different from the pickles in his previous life. Originally, Cao Xiangnan planned to wait a little later when the weather was hot. There would be more dishes and it would be cheaper. Then they could go The village buys some vegetables to make pickles, and sells them in autumn, and can make a fortune by flipping hands.The winter here is very cold, and there was nothing to eat at that time. In my memory, people here in winter eat pickled pickles and meat products, but the taste is not very good.

Now it is just ahead of time, and a big customer has been found. If the land is sold well, there will be a lot of money in the future.

The sky gradually darkened, the day ended and night came.

The oil lamp in the house was flickering. After taking a bath, the family of three went to bed and got ready to sleep.Before dawn the next day, they had to get up to grind rice to make rice noodles, and then sell it in the town. It was not easy to make some money.

"Em, Eminem..." the child called Eminem softly, acting like a baby to Eminem.

"Well, Eminem is here." An An, who hadn't seen Eminem all day, was very clinging to Eminem tonight, and Qi Wan hugged the child in her arms and coaxed him to sleep.The child smelled Eminem's body, and soon fell into a sound sleep.

When he didn't hear the child's voice, he knew he was asleep, so Cao Xiangnan put his arms around Qi Wanfeng's waist and asked in his ear, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Qi Wanfeng shook his head, and asked in a low voice, "Fulang, are you tired?"

"Tired." Cao Xiangnan knew that Qi Wanfeng was also tired, but no matter how tired this man was, he would never tell him.In the dark, he stared at Qi Wanfeng with a smile in his eyes, and said with a smile in his voice, "Tired, but tired but also very happy."

They were tired all day, and they both fell asleep not long after lying down.

The lighted oil lamp is flickering, the stone mill in the small yard has started to turn, the gurgling rice milk is falling into the barrel, the heat is rising in the small kitchen, the rice noodles on the steamer are blowing up one by one, and the rice noodles next to it The knife was cut up and down into strips.

Things were quickly prepared, and the hor fun in the kitchen was still being made.Cao Gang drove the carriage with Sun Bailian and Cao Dapeng to set up a stall in Fenshui Town first, while Cao Xiangnan stayed at home to steam rice noodles, Qi Wanfeng couldn't do so much by himself.

There was a lot of pho to be made today, so Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Gang and the others to set up a stall first, and after a while Cao Gang drove back to bring the pho, and he and Sun Ji drove there together.They can send some of Yipinzhai’s rice noodles first, and send the rest later. There are only a lot of customers in the restaurant at noon, so the time is not so rushed.

When Sun Ji came early in the morning, he also brought his father with him. Sun Ji told him about this yesterday. There is ready-made sauce at home. Cao Xiangnan fished out a portion of rice noodles for Sun Ji's father to try. .

"How does it taste?" Cao Xiangnan asked after seeing someone take a bite.

Seeing the person nodded, Cao Xiangnan knew that the taste was not bad, his sauce was very fragrant when mixed.Sun Ji looked very much like his father, and his father was a man of few words. Cao Xiangnan told Sun Yanshan how to sell the rice noodles, and he listened carefully.

Dan went to the villages and alleys to peddle, of course, he couldn't set up a stall like them, which only focused on simplicity, so Cao Xiangnan meant to let his grandfather mainly sell Laofen and Jinghefen, so that he could earn a few copper coins in a day , If you sell more, you will naturally earn more. Genius Wei Liang, grandfather left Caojia Village with a heavy burden, and went to sell rice noodles in other villages.

Now that they have a carriage, it is much more convenient for them to go back and forth between the village and the town, and the time is also shortened.Cao Gang, who was going to the town, came back, and the remaining pho was ready, and they moved all the things up, and they also boarded the carriage and went to Fen Town.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I've delivered the goods for you." The carriage stopped at the entrance of Yipinzhai. As soon as Cao Xiangnan entered, he saw Shopkeeper Liu standing in front of the counter. He greeted Shopkeeper Liu with a smile on his face and treated him like an old acquaintance like that.

Sun Ji carried the pho and followed him in. Shopkeeper Liu gestured to the waiter in the store, and the clever waiter led the people into the kitchen.

"Have a cup of tea inside before leaving?" Shopkeeper Liu came out from the counter, and his attitude towards Cao Xiangnan also changed a lot, with a smile on his long face.

From the subtle changes in shopkeeper Liu, Cao Xiangnan could guess in his heart that Yipinzhai's business yesterday should be good.

The two stood in the lobby and chatted for a while. Cao Xiangnan wanted to improve his own business, so of course he also hoped that Yipinzhai's business would be good.He suggested several modern marketing methods to Shopkeeper Liu. As for whether to use it or how to use it, it was up to Shopkeeper Liu. He believed that Shopkeeper Liu was a smart person.

"Shopkeeper, I'll drink tea with you another day. I'm going back to the stall now so I won't stay any longer." After Sun Ji came out, Cao Xiangnan declined the kindness of shopkeeper Liu with a smile. He hasn't been there today. Stall, worried.

"Success, come back when you have time." Shopkeeper Liu said without keeping the other party.

Cao Xiangnan and Sun Ji went out together, and Cao Gang outside was waiting for them in the carriage, and they got into the carriage and left.

Shopkeeper Liu, who was standing behind, looked at the people who left, and was still pondering over the suggestions Cao Xiangnan gave him just now.

When he returned to the stall and saw that everything was well arranged even if he was not there, Cao Xiangnan was relieved, thinking that if he was not here in the future, everything in the stall would be able to operate normally.

He asked Sun Ji to go to other restaurants in the town to promote their rice noodles. From the perspective of modern people, Cao Xiangnan trained Sun Ji as a salesman.In his previous life, he worked part-time while studying to make money. Then he took a part-time job and sent flyers on the road to attract clients. If he wanted to show his face, he would not be able to attract a single client, nor would he be able to get a high commission. There is nothing to eat, let alone continue to go to school.

As a successful businessman, the first and most important thing is to be shameless. If you want to be satisfied with face, then just eat face.If Sun Ji couldn't bring back even a single business, then in the end it could only prove that there was something wrong with this person, and he thought he would reposition Sun Ji at that time.

"Xiangnan, I'm leaving." The eyes of the two met, and Sun Ji understood what Cao Xiangnan hoped for him. If he couldn't do such a thing well, he didn't deserve to stand here.

"Brother Sun Ji, you can do it." Cao Xiangnan stretched out his hand and patted Sun Ji's shoulder hard, and said.

The people with the food boxes went to the town to find a restaurant to sell their rice noodles. Many years later, Sun Ji still remembered that today was the third day they set up a stall. Cao Xiangnan stood in front of the stall and served rice noodles. He can quickly remember the appearance of those who have come to their stall to eat hor fun. He will introduce the food at their stall to those who are unfamiliar. He can also call out a name to familiar faces and ask familiarly, "Zhang Brother, what do you want?"

"The old rule is, a big bowl of rice noodle soup, and then pack half a catty of rice noodle for me to take away." The man's surname was Zhang, he was tall and tall, and his companions called him "Old Zhang".

"Okay, okay. How about you, Brother Wang? What do you want?"

“A big bowl of Lao Pho.”

"A big bowl of soup and rice noodles."

"Okay, big brothers, sit over there, and I'll give it to you right now." Cao Xiangnan often heard a person's address from the people around him, so he would add the word brother to the end of the surname, anyway, he was called brother boss That's right.His tone was friendly, and he said "brother", matching all the titles.

Cao Xiangnan often buys half a catty and adds one or two more, anyway, it will only be more and not less.

This is how people buy things. If you go to that store to buy something, you will not go there again next time. But if you buy a little more every time, then you will often go to that store to buy in the future. .So even on the third day of opening, the business of their stall is not bad, and there are quite a few repeat customers.

Cao Xiangnan's goal is to turn all new customers into regular customers, and regular customers into regular customers.

The business of their stall is good, and the business of the biscuit stall on the opposite side is also good recently, and people who come here like to buy a pancake to eat.There are few people here on weekdays, and the business of the nearby stalls used to be cold, but now all of them are getting better, so these stall owners have a good relationship with Cao Xiangnan's people, and they will chat with each other when they meet. Greetings, buying things from each other is half-buy and half-free, but there are also bad business, and there are always a lot of jealousy.

After noon, when the number of customers is the largest, the number of people coming to eat at their stall gradually decreases, and there is not much left in the pot.

"Is everything sold out?" The man from the sesame seed stall came to buy rice noodles, and Cao Xiangnan filled a big bowl full, "It's almost there, there are only so much left." He said.

"Your family's business is really good." The man's tone was full of envy, "I'll bring you the bowl back later."

"Success." Cao Xiangnan said with a chuckle.

Before closing the stall, Sun Ji came back with orders from two small restaurants. He drank a large bowl of water as soon as he sat down, and he ran around the town all day without even drinking a bowl of water.Cao Xiangnan muttered to himself that he would not come back to eat something even if he was hungry, so he dropped a bowl of hor fun and brought it over. Seeing the person who was eating, he said, "Thanks for your hard work."

Cao Xiangnan knew that it was not easy. Not everyone was as lucky as him, and took down shopkeeper Liu as soon as he went to Yipinzhai.But he has also been repeatedly rejected by others, and he has continued to work hard. As long as he persists, he will always succeed in the end.

Sun Ji shook his head with a smile, lowered his head and took a big mouthful of rice noodles, and said, "There are still a few restaurants that I haven't visited, and the bosses of two companies said to think about it, and I will go for a walk tomorrow."

In some restaurants, as soon as he entered the door and asked people if they wanted to buy rice noodles, he was kicked out.He didn't have the face to come back empty-handed, and when there were two families in the back, he was afraid that the stall would be taken back, lest everyone wait for him, so he rushed back.

"Okay, come back to eat something when you're tired from running, don't act like today." Cao Xiangnan nodded, now they are begging others to do business with them, and one day someone will come to beg him to do business.

Sun Ji smirked, nodded while laughing, and then lowered his head and gorged on the food in the bowl.
