Chapter 718 Different Starting Points
"Mother is right. Yesterday, the seniors all said that the ice bowls were delicious. They also said that they would come to try them during lunch break.
Zhang Yishan gently lifted a bamboo leaf bowl, looked it up and down, and then watched the people carefully. The more she watched, the brighter her eyes became.
"The small flower bowls used before are beautiful, but if you change to this bamboo leaf folding bowl, and match it with colorful little balls, it will definitely be more pleasing to the eye and be praised by others."
As she said, she had already come in front of the people and started to learn how to fold the bowls from Mrs. Deng.
The kitchen was so small. Bai Yunxi wiped her hands and walked to the front table with Zhang Yiren to invite people to sit down.
"Yesterday, I was so busy talking that I forgot to set the price for the ice bowls. The ingredients for these colorful little balls are not expensive, but it takes some effort."
"And the small flower bowl with a wooden spoon costs two cents to purchase. Considering this cost, I sent Xiao Si to pick some bamboo leaves outside the city early in the morning. There are bamboo leaves everywhere outside the city, and there is no cost except labor. "
"This allows customers to choose freely. Choose a small flower bowl for 18 cents, of which two cents are the bowl. If it is a bamboo leaf bowl, it will be 16 cents, and a wooden spoon will be given... If the bowl is returned, two cents will be refunded. "
"Seasonal snacks, only two months of profit, eat fresh and refreshing, and target the psychology of young people hunting for food. "
Zhang Yiren listened to Bai Yunxi's narration, nodded, turned to look at the food on the counter, "What if it can't be sold? ”
A steamed bun costs only one cent, and three cents can buy a big meat bun.
Will anyone be willing to eat a bowl of iced rice for sixteen cents?
Although the county is richer than the countryside, a large number of people will certainly not be willing to eat these snacks that are not filling.
Listening to Zhang Yiren's voice, Bai Yunxi curled the corners of his lips.
"We are just selling something new, targeting young men...you can say, the children of wealthy families. For those who have low spending power, even if it is three or five cents a bowl, they will still be reluctant to spend it."
"For different groups of people, the price must be set higher."
Bai Yunxi smiled gently, "There is another word in the way of business, which is business opportunity. Since we are the only one in the county, this is an advantage. ”
This kind of ice bowl doesn’t require much technical skills, and it can be imitated with a little thought. She is the first person to try it.
If she doesn’t make some money as a guide, it would be a shame for her to go through all this trouble.
Listening to Bai Yunxi’s explanation, Zhang Yiren thought about it and nodded in agreement,
“Hearing what you said, it’s really the case. Since you are a guide, it is equivalent to taking risks, and it is reasonable to make more money. I am narrow-minded. Well, I said yesterday that I only provide people and shops, and I don’t care about the rest. ”
She has never done these, and doesn’t understand the twists and turns, so she won’t make trouble.
Listening to Zhang Yiren’s tone, Bai Yunxi chuckled,
“Sister Yiren is not this kind of person, so she naturally doesn’t pay attention to the way of business. Although we have read some sage books, you always speak elegant and unworldly words. And we always talk about how to make a living?”
“Otherwise, this stomach can’t be filled. "
Although Bai Yunxi's words were self-deprecating, they were also true.
She has a good foundation. She can make a lot of money just by renting the farm and shops. She has no worries about food and drink. When she is free, she either holds a flower-viewing banquet or a poetry meeting.
Unlike them, they think about how to make the crops harvest well and how to make more money to avoid hunger as soon as they open their eyes.
In a word, the starting point of the two people is too different, so their ideas are naturally very different.
That's why she repeatedly emphasized the word "equal status" when she asked about her children's marriage yesterday.
If you don't start from the same point, you really don't have any common topics. Even if you force yourself to be tied together, there will be constant troubles and conflicts, and your life will be a mess.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's ridicule, Zhang Yiren glared at her disapprovingly.
"I don't agree with this. Since you talked to me yesterday, I feel that Yunxi is a woman with a free and easy temperament. If we were a few decades younger, we would definitely become close friends. "
"It's all their men's fault. They should have let us meet earlier, maybe..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yiren felt that she had made a mistake in her words, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking at Bai Yunxi apologetically,
"Look at my mouth, I'm really old, Yunxi, don't mind it."
Zhang Yiren regretted it so much at this moment, how could she be so careless, knowing that Yunxi had lost her husband, and still poked her lungs.
Bai Xi listened to her annoyed voice and smiled gently,
"Sister Yiren, you don't have to be like this. I have accepted the fact that the child's father has been gone for these years, and I am no longer as depressed as I was at the beginning. I can only say that everything is destined by heaven - it is fate, I have long seen it through, as long as I can live comfortably with the children alone, this life is worth it. "
The couple had already reunited in the underground, no matter they lived or died, at least it was their own world. And she was just an unlucky person who was caught temporarily, and had to work hard to take care of the children.
To put it bluntly, she was just an old housewife.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's sigh, Zhang Yiren held her hand, feeling distressed. Everyone was gone, what else could she do except helpless?
It's easy for a woman to take care of four or five children, but how much can outsiders know about the hardships?
In the final analysis, Yunxi was just a strong-willed person and didn't want to express her feelings in front of others. In short, if this matter fell on her, she would definitely not be as generous as Yunxi.
When this thought came to her mind, Zhang Yiren was stunned... Bah, bah, bah~, how could she have such an unlucky thought?
What if she said something bad about her master?
Bah, bah, bah~,
Good luck, good luck.
She muttered a few more times in her heart that her master was really good to her, and he would not blame her even if he had no son to continue the family line. For her to meet such a man, it was also a blessing accumulated in the previous life, and it came back in this life.
Listening to Zhang Yiren's self-entertaining inner activities, Bai Yunxi held back her laughter, and seeing that it was almost time, she stood up to greet Mrs. Du.
"Give Xiao Si a bowl, let him go to the street to shout a few times..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by laughter at the door.
Xie Yu appeared at the door waving a folding fan, followed by Yifeng carrying two flower baskets.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Bai, why didn't you send me an invitation when you opened the shop? If Yishan hadn't sent the ice bowl, I wouldn't have known that Aunt Bai came to the county."
Seeing Xie Yu, Bai Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
"Originally, I wanted to inform you, but I was afraid that you would be delayed in your studies because of your heavy academic workload. We just made some food, which felt fresh and wanted to try. How could it delay your study time?"
This person also had to take the autumn exam this year. He was delayed last time because of his family. This time, he went with the determination to pass.
