Chapter 55: Making a Profit From the Price Difference
Lin Zhou had made a strategy before setting up the stall.
The target audience of candied haws is generally women and children who like to eat them more.
The first choice is of course the school gate, where there are the most students.
But there are still two days before September 1st, and most schools have not started yet.
The only one that started early is the International Foreign Language Primary School where Lin Zhou came.
......
The first class in the afternoon in summer is always so hard to endure.
Chen Yan has yawned countless times since the bell rang.
The candied haws in the schoolbag melted slightly under the high temperature, exuding a sweet smell.
The greedy Chen Yan had no intention of listening to the class at all.
His mind was full of the candied haws that he had just wolfed down in a hurry, and he swallowed it into his stomach before he could taste it carefully.
When he thought of the taste, his mouth was drooling uncontrollably.
That candied haws was so delicious!
It was icy and cold, and the sugar coating was hard. The tomato candied haws were juicy when you bit into them. The tomato juice was full, a little sour, and the sweet sugar coating made them crunchy.
He usually didn't like to eat fruit, but the fruit made into candied haws was a completely different species.
No, the more I thought about it, the more greedy I became.
His mouth was watering.
Chen Yan reached into his schoolbag with one hand and stared at the teacher on the podium without blinking.
This was a foreign language class in English, which was no different from listening to astronomy for him.
The voice of the teacher's lecture, when it was transferred to his ears and transmitted to his brain, had already become, Aba Aba...
Right now!
Chen Yan looked nervously at the teacher on the podium who turned his back and started writing. He quickly lowered his head and took a bite of the candied haws that he had already held in his hand.
After taking a bite, he sat up again and looked at Hei Bai seriously. The teacher was still writing.
He was not caught!
He hid behind the book, chewing the candied haws carefully, holding it upright to slightly cover his mouth.
Only when he put it in his mouth did he know what kind of candied haws he had.
After biting it open, the hawthorn had a dense and sweet filling.
It was filled with taro paste!
It was very sweet, with the fragrance of taro and a hint of milk. The ingredients themselves had no sweetness, and it was all due to the layer of sugar coating on the outside. While chewing, you could hear the sound of the sugar coating breaking in your mouth.
The hawthorn with taro paste filling did not have the juicy feeling of fruit.
It didn't feel like eating candied haws in your mouth, but it felt like eating snacks.
The wonderful taste filled Chen Wei's exposed eyes with a smile.
Especially when he was eating secretly in class, he felt a little more cautious and nervous than at other times, which made the candied haws in his mouth taste even better.
It wasn't that he was greedy, but he was mainly afraid that the candied haws would melt.
There was no air conditioning in the classroom, only a few fans were blowing.
He said that wearing summer school uniforms and turning on the air conditioner would be cool, so he could just turn on the fan. He was not afraid that his candied haws would melt.
If he didn't eat it now, it would be so hot, and his candied haws would definitely melt after school.
Chen Yan spent the whole class secretly eating a string of candied haws every once in a while.
Time passed in a flash, and the get out of class was over.
He didn't even feel it.
The bell rang, and the teacher left, and the classroom became lively in an instant.
Before Chen Yan could react, he was surrounded by classmates on all sides.
? ? ?
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Chen Yan opened his mouth, a sweet taste came out of his mouth.
This immediately gave the classmates who suspected that he was cheating evidence.
"Okay, what are you eating in class? I heard the sound in front of me."
"Yes, like a hamster."
"I've wanted to ask you for a long time. If I wasn't afraid that you would be discovered by the teacher, I would have started to grab it."
The deskmate said while looking under Chen Wei's desk.
"Wow! Candied haws!"
This exclamation directly attracted all the students around.
Candied haws are very attractive to third-grade students.
"Chen Wei, you brought candied haws, can you give me one?"
Chen Wei:......
Seeing that all the students around him were gathered around, Chen Wei didn't want to share at all.
He hasn't eaten enough of such delicious candied haws.
And he bought it with his daily pocket money.
He couldn't bear to give it to others.
But so many people knew that he ate candied haws in class. If he didn't take it out, what if someone got angry and told the teacher?
Chen Wei's little head was full of doubts.
Under the gaze of the crowd, he still took out a box of candied haws and showed them to everyone.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"What kind of candied haws is this? I haven't eaten it before. Is it a fruit?"
"Wow~ I really want to eat it!"
Seeing the surprised faces of his classmates, Chen Wei thought of his pocket money that he had spent today, and his eyes turned and he came up with an idea.
"I bought this at the school gate with my pocket money. If you want to eat it, it's five yuan a string."
Chen Wei was reluctant to give the candied haws to his classmates for free, and he thought that he had no money, so he planned to sell it.
If the classmates didn't buy it, it would be just right, and he would eat the rest himself.
He just couldn't bear to share it.
"I want one, I want a strawberry candied haws."
"I want a strawberry one too, don't fight with me."
"Chen Wei, Chen Wei, I'll give you money, give me a candied haws."
"......"
Hearing that they had to pay, the students became even more excited.
As long as they paid, they could eat. What a great thing!
When they gathered around, they just wanted to join in the fun. They didn’t expect Chen Chang to really share the food with them. After all, there were so many people and there wasn’t enough to share.
But it was different if they paid to buy.
They could eat it immediately after paying.
In less than a minute, all the remaining candied haws of Chen Chang were divided up by the students.
Not even a single string was left for Chen Chang.
Chen Chang felt very sad.
But looking at the 70 yuan he had just received, he still made 20 yuan after eating the candied haws he had eaten, and he smiled again in a blink of an eye.
This wave was not a loss.
When school was over in the evening, if the big brother selling candied haws was still there, he would have money to buy more!
It was true that like father, like son, and Chen Chang had finally understood the matter of making a profit from the price difference in business.
If his father knew, he would have to praise him for having a successor.
......
On the other side, watching his brother being taken away by the traffic police, Lin Zhou quickly packed up his stall and left.
Without any hesitation.
The horn bought for 9.9 is very practical.
The candied haws were not sold out yet, and Lin Zhou was not in a hurry to go home, so he just strolled on the street.
When he got to a crowded place, he turned on the horn and shouted a few words.
"Selling candied haws~ Fresh candied haws~"
A four-way intersection.
A passerby who was waiting for the traffic light heard the hawking and turned to look at Lin Zhou.
The candied haws in the glass cabinet shone charmingly under the sunlight.
A girl riding an electric bike didn't want to eat candied haws at first, but she turned her head subconsciously when she heard the hawking.
Then she was attracted by the neatly arranged candied haws in the glass cabinet of Lin Zhou's stall.
Hmm... I'm greedy!
She was about to go up and ask how to sell it.
She saw Lin Zhou pass by her and ran away...
Wait!
Ran away?
The girl subconsciously extended her hand, looked up and saw that the light was green.
How could the candied haws that she had just set her eyes on slip away from her eyes!
She immediately rode on her electric bike and accelerated to catch up with Lin Zhou's tricycle.
