Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

Chu Xuan compared the wages in village-run factories with those in county-level factories, and found that the wages in village-run factories were indeed higher.

At this time, a woman negotiated the price, "Cheaper! How about three dollars for one dollar?"

Chu Xuan said enthusiastically, "Sister, the ingredients for baking bread are hard to find and replace. Some of them are imported from abroad. Not to mention that I only have a few cents of profit from each loaf. I will wait until I have the raw materials on hand. When it runs out, everyone who wants to eat such delicious bread will no longer be able to eat it! Although the price cannot be reduced, there is still no problem in trying it."

While talking, Chu Xuan took out a knife and plate from his backpack, and cut a piece of bread into about ten pieces for everyone to taste.

Everyone who has tasted it is full of praise.

"Really delicious!"

"tasty!"

“This is the first time I’ve tasted such delicious bread.”

"It seems that you have eaten bread before. This is my first time eating bread!"

……

I still want to eat this seafood bread.

Successfully brought out the greed in everyone's stomach.

"Give me one!"

"I'll buy one too!"

"I'll buy two, it's cheaper."

Chu Xuan glanced at the basket and saw that there was seaweed baked the day before yesterday.

I originally wanted to sell them individually for a penny each. I was doing business in the county on the first day, so I could buy or give them away.

"Listen to me, everyone, buy two pieces of bread and get a piece of crispy and delicious seaweed for free. Buy three pieces of bread and get two pieces for free. And so on."

Mu Chenze was very cooperative. He used a small tong to take out a piece of seaweed from the basket, put it on the plate, and cut it into small pieces with the tong. "Everyone can taste it. Seaweed retails for one cent a piece. If you buy [-] pieces, you will get one piece free."

This was the first time everyone saw seaweed and tasted it one after another.

"It tastes a bit like seaweed."

“It tastes better than seaweed and is crispy.”

"Give me fifty slices!"

"I want ten slices."

"I want bread."

……

Slowly, there were more and more people in front of Chu Xuan's stall.

After more than half an hour, all the seaweed was sold out, and there were more than 60 shrimp and crab meat buns left.

The seaweed bread is sold out because it is larger and easier to sell than the shrimp and crab bread.

At this time, another customer came over, a lean old man, "I heard that when you buy bread, you get seaweed for free. Give me ten pieces of bread and nine pieces of seaweed for free, right?"

Chu Xuan responded with a smile, "It was like this before, but the seaweed has been sold out. If you buy ten loaves, I will give you a dime cheaper. What do you think?"

The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "That's no good, I just want to eat seaweed. Your bread only has shrimp and crab meat. I just reluctantly bought it. The main thing is to eat seaweed."

This was the first time Chu Xuan met an old man who was so obsessed with seaweed. "Sir, do you think this will work? When I set up a stall tomorrow, I will deliver the goods to your door first and deliver the seaweed to you. How about that?"

The old man snorted coldly, "Not so good! Just because I want to eat seaweed today doesn't mean I want to eat it tomorrow too. Do you still have it at home?"

"No, it has to be baked fresh."

"Then I'll go home with you two and wait for you to bake it. I want to order 5000 pieces of seaweed!"

Five thousand pieces are 50 yuan.

Chu Xuan can earn 30 yuan.

"No problem. When we finish selling these breads, I invite you to come to my house and bake the seaweed on site. White sesame flavor, black sesame flavor, and peanut flavor can all be baked."

The old man danced happily.

Mu Chenze whispered to Chu Xuan, "Is there anything wrong with this old man's mind?"

Chu Xuan believed in his own vision and shook his head gently, indicating that it was okay.

Mu Chenze always believed in his wife, so he did not raise any objections.However, he was still cautious and said, "Uncle, your accent doesn't sound like a local."

The old man glared hard, "Who said I wasn't? My father was from here back then! Although I was born in another place, I consider myself a local! Stop talking so much nonsense, sell the bread quickly, sell it out and bake the seaweed!"

Mu Chenze was speechless by him.

Chu Xuan covered her mouth and smiled.

The old man looked helpless, "Everyone is here to buy bread! The fragrant shrimp and crab roe bread, don't miss it when you pass by! The raw materials are fresh shrimps and live crabs that have just come out of the sea. They are fresh and delicious..."

The long list of sales pitches made Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze stunned for a moment.

With his help, all the bread was sold out in less than half an hour.

Hearing that Mu Chenze and his wife were going to buy a second-hand tricycle nearby, he went to borrow a maza, saying that he would put it on the tricycle body later.

Facing this familiar old man, Mu Chenze had no temper.

After buying a tricycle, I took the old man back to the village. Of course, there were backpacks and baskets in the carriage.

The old man didn't mind the crowd, he was smiling and in a very good mood.

Chu Xuan followed on a bicycle.

Along the way, they didn't speak.

It wasn't until he entered Nanyu Village that the old man took the initiative to speak, "The quality of the seaweed used for roasting seaweed must be guaranteed, otherwise I won't accept it!"

Mu Chenze's first reaction was, isn't this old man here to cause trouble?
If the baked seaweed doesn't satisfy him, wouldn't it be a waste of work?
Chu Xuan didn't think so, "No problem! If you don't like it, you don't need it. I'll keep it for myself after baking it."

Facing Chu Xuan's generosity, the old man nodded with satisfaction, "It's business material. I can tell you this, as long as the quality of this batch of seaweed meets the standard, your family will make a fortune."

Chu Xuan heard something unusual.

"Is it possible that you are the boss of a foreign trade company?"

The old man patted the side of the car and said, "You can't even talk about the big boss. At most, he's just his own father!"

Chu Xuan laughed out loud, "Then I really need to bake the seaweed. I can't miss such a big customer!"

The old man looked serious, "Don't betray my trust!"

Only then did Mu Chenze realize that his wife might have picked up a big ingot.

Fortunately, he listened to his wife and didn't say anything unpleasant in front of the old man.

At first, he really thought there was something wrong with the old man's mind, but now he understood why the old man had a soft spot for seaweed.

After arriving at Chu Xuan's parents' house, Mu Chenze was responsible for making tea to entertain the old man.

Chu Xuan rode a tricycle to the pier to buy seaweed.

Li Tong's family also collects seaweed, so there is no need to worry about the supply.

When I got there, I bought all the seaweed from Li Tong's family, and also bought high-quality seaweed from other vendors.

After returning home, Chu Xuan and the others put on their work clothes, masks, hats, and leather gloves...

Start washing the nori.

When eating, it must be clean and hygienic.

The old man sat in the main room, drinking tea and observing.

However, he did not go to the kitchen, and he still had the most basic professional ethics.

You can’t steal the art of roasting seaweed.

After waiting for more than two hours, the white sesame flavored seaweed came out of the oven.

The old man picked up a piece and ate it in big gulps.

"It's delicious! It's delicious! But it's not easy to eat. One piece is as big as a palm, and the seaweed foam will easily fall off. It's better to cut it into small strips, which is more convenient to eat."

Chu Xuan thought this suggestion was good, "Okay. Let's do it right away."

Five thousand pieces of seaweed turned into fifteen thousand pieces in no time.

After cutting it, the old man laughed and tried to eat a few more pieces, "Yes, that's how it feels. It's delicious and not wasted. For this size, five thousand pieces were packed for me! This is three pieces of the big piece just now." One percent, I can only pay 17 yuan."

Mu Chenze had a dark look on his face... (End of this chapter)
