Chapter 143 Going to the city tomorrow
Chapter 143 Going to the city tomorrow
The tea eggs were sold out around four o'clock in the evening. It was no longer suitable to cook another pot at this time. After all, the weather was too hot and if they were not sold out, they would go bad the next day. So everyone went home with regret.
No, it’s back to Lan Xin’s yard.
Once the gate of the yard was closed, everyone was in the yard. Each person had a pile of money in front of them, counting the amount with their fingers deftly, with smiles on their faces that could not be suppressed.
"Oh my, look how much money I've made in less than a day. Why not cook another pot and sell it?" Li Xia sighed regretfully while counting the money.
I really can't bear to do that.
"Don't wait until tomorrow to cook the tea eggs. By the time they're done, it will be dark and everyone will have left." Lan Xin advised with a smile.
She was counting money too.
I boiled three large rounds of eggs today, two hundred in the morning, more than three hundred in the second time, and four hundred at noon. Except for the morning, the other two times were boiled in two large pots together. All in all, there are about a thousand eggs.
Add to that the thirty boxes of soda, each box containing 24 bottles of Arctic Ocean, and now there are only a little more than eight boxes left.
Chen Baoni and her friends later divided into groups of couples, and walked around the base area shouting and asking people if they wanted to eat. The tea eggs were really delicious, so many people couldn't help but buy one to try. The taste was amazing, and if their wallets weren't out of control, they would have eaten until they were full.
Chen Baoni and her colleagues were so busy selling that they didn't even have time to eat lunch. They just took a few bites and went to sell the goods. The profits they earned were indeed worth all the hard work.
Everyone's total sales added up to more than 350 yuan, and when divided among their individual sales, each person made about 100 yuan. Even Lanxi, who sold the least, made more than 60 yuan.
Except for Lan Xin, no one from the Lan family present could withstand such a grand scene.
Their eyes were red and they were breathing heavily through their noses. It took a lot of willpower not to laugh out loud.
"I, did I count it correctly?" Chen Baoni murmured, and as she spoke, she continued to count again. She counted the money in her hand three times before she was sure that there was no shortage. They really made so much money.
Then they counted it again and gave the money for purchasing goods to Lan Xin, but even so, they finally got twenty-four yuan.
They earned twenty-four dollars in a day, which was just over half a day.
This was in 1983, and a salary of 24 yuan a month was already a very good job.
Chen Baoni and the others counted the twenty-plus yuan in their hands again and again and could not believe that the money was theirs.
Lan Xi, who was standing by, was also counting the ten or so yuan that belonged to him.
He earned the least among all the people. After all, he just came to Sanqing Mountain in the afternoon, and he was selling alone, not as good as several sisters-in-law working together. But looking at so much money, Lanxi still felt his eyes warm. It was the first time for him to earn so much money.
He has money to repeat his studies.
Lan Xin looked at the people in front of her who were emotional and had red eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, brothers and sisters-in-law, and Lan Xi, quickly put the money away. You have counted it so many times, there must be something wrong, right?"
At the end of the day, Lan Xin, who was sitting at home, became the biggest beneficiary. Her income alone was more than that of the other four groups.
But she had to wash and boil the eggs all the time, which was very tiring, and she also took all the financial risks, so Lan Xin felt at ease taking the money.
After putting away the things, everyone sat together to discuss how to prepare for tomorrow.
"Cook more eggs tomorrow. There will still be a lot of people on the mountain when we close the stall today." Li Xia said quickly.
She kept muttering in her heart that the quantity was not enough, otherwise she could have made more money today.
"Soda is also selling very well," said Xu Rufang.
The place where they sold the soda was at a relatively high altitude, but many people went there and climbed up to that place, and most of them were already exhausted and thirsty, so she sold soda very well.
Lan He on the side nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think there are only a few boxes left. There won't be enough to sell tomorrow."
Lan Xin nodded, "It's not enough, we need to get some more."
She underestimated the consumption level of this era. People who go out to play are still willing to spend a little money. After all, they are here and can't just watch others eat.
And there aren’t many seasonings for cooking tea eggs. Fortunately, Lan Xin bought them by several kilograms before, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to make so many pots of tea eggs at once today.
Lan Xin estimated that the remaining amount could only be used to supply tomorrow's tea eggs.
"It has been tentatively decided that we will cook 1,200 tea eggs a day and sell them. As for soda, I will contact the factory to send it over. We will sell as many as we can." Lan Xin said as she looked at her subordinate's homework book filled with words.
This exercise book, which she had used several times, was finally officially requisitioned by Lan Xin and became hers.
Lan Xin’s calculation results are written on it.
Hearing this number, Li Xia felt that it was not enough. "Only 1,200. Isn't that too few?"
She has always been worried about not having enough to sell.
"Yeah, it's a little less."
Today’s grand opening was a great success. We sold so many tea eggs at once that everyone was so excited that they couldn’t wait to show off their skills.
Lan Xin knocked on the table, and everyone else quieted down and looked at her.
"You can't get fat in one go, so this is the tentative amount, but it will be increased or decreased based on actual conditions, such as weekdays, weekends, rainy days, summer or winter vacations, or holidays. It all depends on the situation."
Lan Xin knew that business would fluctuate and would not always be the same.
It is summer vacation now, and parents bring their children out to play, and the children can't resist their greed, so the sales are so good. If it were later, when the children are in school, and only adults come to climb the mountain, it would be hard to say.
In a day, three rounds of cooking are done. The first round is in the morning, followed by the second round, and then the third round is cooked at noon. Two pots are cooked together. At that time, you can judge whether to cook more according to the flow of people on the mountain.
Finally, Lanxi said anxiously, "Sister, can I sell them in the city tomorrow and then come back to Sanqing Mountain to sell them?"
Lan Xin looked at him in surprise, not understanding what Lan Xi was thinking.
It is obvious that he could earn twice as much data by selling kung fu at the foot of Sanqing Mountain in an afternoon than if he went to the city in the morning, so why did he still want to go to the city?
Lan Xi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I promised the people in the factory that I would sell them tea eggs tomorrow, but they said they would skip breakfast and wait for my tea eggs tomorrow."
"If I don't sell them, won't they starve?"
Lan Xi blinked her clear and bright eyes and said nervously.
The other members of the Lan family did not quite agree.
"Brother, maybe this is just their way of rejecting you. If they still don't buy tomorrow, you will have wasted the whole morning. You know, we sold more than a hundred tea eggs this morning."
