Chapter 856: Integrity Management Can Last Long

The two children were so happy that they thanked them repeatedly, "Thank you, Fourth Master. I will work hard. As long as I can eat, I don't want any wages."

They had no talent for martial arts and thought they would be kicked out. They didn't expect Aunt Wen to be cold-faced but warm-hearted. She actually arranged other things for them. Anyway, no matter what they do, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they are willing to do it.

"Bastard, I'm not Zhou Paopi, how can I deduct your wages?" Xiao Si snorted and hung a salted duck on the hook.

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

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

Xiao Si looked at the two people's big black eyes and laughed. While leading people to spread the goods, he told them the story of Zhou Paopi.

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

She not only told the story of Zhou Paopi, but also told the story of the rooster crowing in the middle of the night.

The ninth day of the tenth month is a good day for opening the market.

Early in the morning, Xiao Si brought Qingsong, Jinfeng and Jinlai to the shop. Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, Yaquanchi Salted Food Shop opened. The first to be attracted were the people living nearby and some passers-by.

Bai Yunxi had long suggested to Xiao Si that he prepare a tasting plate with small bamboo sticks on it for easy access, so that the guests who stopped by could try it first. Only with a good taste can people stay.

Xiao Si is now very smart and understands it at once. Not only did he prepare small tasting plates, he also invited a lion dance team to perform acrobatics in front of the door, attracting many people to stop and watch.

A square table was placed at the door with several small tasting plates on it. Jinlai stood at the back to greet the guests, and Jinfeng went to the front to shout loudly to attract people to come.

"Yaquanchi, the new store is open, welcome to taste, passers-by, uncles and aunts, come and have a look."

The opening of a shop is already attractive. In addition to watching the lion dance, you can also taste the food. Many people gathered around, tasted, and asked about the price.

Xiao Si was also smart. He named the salted duck eggs as top-grade salted duck eggs and top-grade Songhua eggs. The names sounded special, especially the patterns on the Songhua eggs, which looked like pine trees and looked very nice.

"Songhua eggs are good. How much are they?"

"Opening promotion. Songhua eggs are nine coins each and salted duck eggs are six coins each. If customers spend more than 100 coins, they will get a Songhua egg or salted duck egg for free. You can choose one."

"Duck wings and duck feet, whole duck, bought by kilograms, if you spend more than 100 coins, you will get a duck wing or duck foot for free."

After hearing the price, some people felt it was expensive, while others were willing to pay to try it. After all, in the city, the consumption capacity was high, and many people were still very willing to taste it.

In addition, Xiao Si praised it hard, and anyone who was well-dressed bought some.

Some people started, and the rest of the people bought more or less. After a day of hard work, the profit was still very good.

Qingsong finished fiddling with the last bead on the abacus, "Master Si, I figured it out. Today's profit is 10 strings of cash and 500 coins."

Xiao Si listened and nodded, "It's barely okay. We don't have enough goods right now, so this kind of profit is good. It's getting late, lock the door and go back first."

He will discuss with his mother when he gets home whether to go to the nearby village to collect some duck eggs for emergency use.

Jin Lai and Jin Feng are also living in the mansion now. Qingsong has made a room for them in the servants' room in the backyard for them to live in temporarily. They go out through the back door every day without attracting attention.

After receiving the news that Xiao Si has entered the mansion, Bai Yunxi asked Zhu Pozi to start serving the meal,

"Mom, I'm back."

"Well, wash your hands quickly and eat."

After a tiring day, you have the energy to talk about things after having a full stomach.

Xiao Si ate two bowls of rice in a row and put down the bowl, "I've been busy all day, and now I'm finally full."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't delay eating. Everyone takes turns to eat, otherwise, the stomach won't be able to bear it for a long time."

Bai Yunxi looked at him disapprovingly. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she didn't show up today.

"I'm exhausted. No matter how much money I make, it's useless. I have to give it to the clinic."

Xiao Si scratched his head and smiled, "It's only these two days. When the event is over, it will be fine."

The grand opening promotion proposed by my mother is really good. It really attracts customers. Many customers bought more things for that preserved egg.

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

"I've thought about this, but if we want the goods in the shop to be of consistent quality and have no difference in taste, it's better to ship them from our home. For real foodies, the origin of the duck affects its taste. Our ducks swim in the Qingshui River and eat tender leaves and catch insects on the grass. They are of high quality and have good meat."

"If we purchase local ducks, although they are all raised by farmers at home, the quality is not bad, but if we want to have the same taste as the ducks we raise, it probably won't work."

Xiao Si listened and nodded solemnly,

"I understand what mother means. If we want to make a name for ourselves, we really can't take shortcuts. We must insist on consistent quality so as not to disappoint those old gourmets."

Selling food is selling reputation. If you cut corners, the first to feel it are those old customers.

He learned this lesson when he was delivering roast duck to Shopkeeper Jiao because the roast duck was left overnight.

The reason was that it rained heavily that day, and the restaurant's roast duck was not sold out. The kitchen staff was reluctant to deal with it, so they thought of heating it up and selling it the next day. Unexpectedly, it offended a gourmet who often went to the restaurant to taste it. After learning about the situation, Manager Jiao dismissed the chef without saying a word, and even went to the gourmet's house to apologize and gave him a freshly baked roast duck as a gift.

In this way, not only did he not save money, but he also lost a duck and the reputation of the customers.

Thinking of this, Xiao Si gave up the idea of ​​purchasing duck eggs directly.

"Mother reminded me, I was wrong."

"You are right to be afraid of running out of stock. We have to prepare in advance and not let the shop suffer from famine. Now the store sells mostly salted goods. If we want to increase the variety in the future, we must prepare a warehouse. Especially roast duck, it must be cooked first and eaten first, and the ducks you transport must be alive."

"So, tomorrow I plan to go to the dental shop to see if there is a suitable small farm. Let's buy one, so that you can have a storage point for the ducks you transport in the future."

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

"Okay, I'll listen to mother's arrangements."

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Si took people to the shop early, and Bai Yunxi also prepared to take Wen You to the dental shop.

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