My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 13 Three Months

On September 9, sisters Xu Ke and Xu Le officially became honorable elementary school students. The school is not far from their new home, but only a few hundred meters away.

On September 9, the supermarket changed its new signboard, and the "Coke Convenience Store" officially opened.

Xu Dong has no experience in selling anything in his past or present life, and he is not interested in running a convenience store.

On the other hand, Dad Xu was different. He had experience in setting up a stall before, and he couldn't be idle at home.

Since he wanted to look like this, Xu Dong reluctantly collected half a truckload of goods from the underground warehouse, mainly all kinds of clothing, souvenirs, tobacco, alcohol and sugar.

Coupled with the half-carriage of fresh products and a carload of daily necessities from wholesalers, the convenience store was finally supported.

On the day of the opening, Dad Xu not only placed arches and flower baskets in front of the gate, but also asked an advertising company to print flyers and hired people to distribute them in several surrounding communities.

The sales performance on the first day was very good, because it was losing money and gaining popularity. The main fresh products were sold cleanly, and other products were also sold well.

But in the next few days, the performance will not be good. It has been tepid, with a daily turnover of about 5000 yuan, which makes Xu Dad sigh in a hurry.

After all, the monthly rent of the shop is less than [-] yuan, which is really unbearable.

Later, in order to save money, Dad Xu dismissed even the only tally clerk.

Xu Dong couldn't help but persuaded him, but not only was it useless, but he was arrested as a strong man and accompanies Dad Xu to get off work every day.

……

Time can't be seen or touched, just when you don't pay attention, it has quietly passed you by.

In two days, New Year's Day in 2022 will arrive, and there are only more than 40 days left before the outbreak of the solar flare.

Dad Xu's complexion has improved a lot recently.

After three months of exploration and conclusion, in December, "Coke Convenience Store" finally turned losses into profits.

In order to cope with the peak sales of the previous year, the store once again recruited a tally clerk.

The biggest contributor to this turnaround is definitely Xu Dong, who accidentally found "fist goods" for the convenience store.

In the past three months, Xu Dong certainly did not let himself be chained to the convenience store. He always found various reasons to "take leave" and then continued his great business of stockpiling.

Relying on the 100 million yuan from the sale of the house in Luyang, and the 245 million yuan from the sale of the diamond ring, his bank account once again exceeded 500 million yuan.

With money in his hand, Xu Dong became active again, often driving his own minivan to and from the rural areas around Yanjing.

After collecting chicken and duck eggs a few times, he came up with the idea of ​​selling these agricultural products in his own convenience store.

As a result, you can find an excuse for yourself to scan goods in the countryside;

Second come... er, there is no second come, anyway, there is no harm in trying it, and you won't lose a few dollars.

After obtaining the consent of Dad Xu, the "Coke Convenience Store" was transformed into a specialty store for agricultural products such as chicken and eggs.

Since all the agricultural products were purchased by Xu Dong painstakingly and from the rural areas in the mountainous areas, the quality was guaranteed, and the "Coke Convenience Store" gradually gained a little reputation in the surrounding communities.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the streets of Yanjing in winter were bitterly cold, and Xu Dong drove over to pick up Dad Xu home.

As soon as he got in the car, Dad Xu couldn't wait to instruct him: "Can you give me a little more of that egg, every time I order it, it will be sold out before noon."

"Okay, I'll run farther tomorrow." Xu Dong agreed.

He usually goes to the countryside for at least one or two days, and as many as three or four days. This time, he plans to go further. There are still many good things in the vast mountainous area.

"Today's turnover has exceeded [-], and the store is truly open." Xu Dad couldn't hide his joy.

Xu Dong flattered a little: "It's all your credit, Dad."

Dad Xu waved his hand, he still has self-knowledge, "I can't rely on me, it's up to you young people to live with their brains and have ideas."

"Dad, shall we go back to Luyang this year for the Chinese New Year?" This was not easy to answer, and Xu Dong quickly changed the subject.

"I won't go back." Dad Xu shook his head and explained, "Dabao and the others are too young. Let's celebrate the New Year in Yanjing this year. There's no need to go back and forth."

"Okay, I'll ask Mom to prepare more New Year's goods to send back..."

We chatted and went home.

After parking the car, as soon as the father and son walked into the restaurant, Yang Lina asked, "Dad, a hundred boxes of milk powder have been delivered by express delivery today. Is the milk powder in the store selling well recently?"

"What milk powder?" Dad Xu was confused, "Our family doesn't sell milk powder."

Xu Dong immediately jumped out and explained, "I ordered the milk powder."

"Why do you buy so much milk powder? Dabao and the others can't finish drinking it for ten years!" Yang Lina said while covering her forehead.

"If you can't finish drinking it, you can take it to the store and sell it. I bought imported good milk powder, and I don't worry about selling it at all. I'm still reluctant to sell it!"

Xu Dong didn't lie this time. These milk powders were specially purchased from abroad by a previous large supplier to give back to big customers.

This milk powder is also a big brand abroad, and it has always been in short supply. Xu Dong deliberately asked the other party to leave [-] boxes, which saved a lot of trouble.

After all, there are three babies at home, and milk powder is definitely indispensable.

In the last life, due to malnutrition, the physique of the triplets became worse and worse, and finally left forever regrets.

Hearing this, Yang Lina's confidence was much weaker, and she whispered:

"There's no need to buy so much at once?"

Xu Dong said angrily: "Do you think I want to? The quantity is low, and they still don't sell it. It's a tight product."

As soon as the words were finished, Xu Ma came out with the dishes and said:
"Don't say anything, wash your hands and eat quickly, but they are already hungry."

Dad Xu immediately echoed: "Nana, you don't have to worry too much. Imported milk powder is still selling well. I'll take a box to the store tomorrow and see it for sale."

"Don't be in a hurry to sell." Xu Dong hurriedly stopped: "Next month will be the New Year's Eve, and I have to give milk powder as a gift, and it will not be too late to sell it after the year."

In the future, milk powder will become more and more rare. If it is not limited by the shelf life, Xu Dong will definitely hoard a high mountain of milk powder.

"Alright." Dad Xu nodded.

Yang Lina finally reminded: "Be sure to pay attention to the expiration time, don't forget, a box costs several thousand dollars!"

"understood."

……

Dinner was air-dried chicken hot pot.

The chicken was local chicken that Xu Dong purchased from the countryside. The convenience store couldn't sell it, so it was brought back by Xu's mother to make air-dried chicken. After it was ready, it could be sold to a nearby local restaurant.

In this way, after several months of accumulation, the yard is now filled with all kinds of dried chicken, duck, and fish. Roughly, the number is at least five or six hundred.

Xu Dong heard from his wife that Xu's mother can earn more than 10,000 private money every month by selling dry goods, which makes Xu's father envious.

Who let his family live in a courtyard house? The owner of the local restaurant came in and saw that the old lady was a real person.

With trust, the sales will naturally be good.
