happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 447
Successfully made the first business, Shen Yunfang sent the customer away with a smile, and Li Xianglian's family of four who had been watching this side hurried over.

"Yunfang, is this sold?" Li Xianglian still couldn't believe it.

Just now a man passed by here, and then his sister-in-law chanted a few words, the man squatted down to look at the couplet, pointed at it, and finally paid for one.Sell ​​a pair so easily?
It's not that simple, is it necessary to have a ceremony to set off firecrackers after selling a pair of couplets?

"Yes, sell a pair." Shen Yunfang took out the [-] cents in his pocket and shook it, "It's actually not difficult, as long as you dare to open your mouth to sell it." In fact, there is no need to sell it when there are many people , It's just that they came earlier, and there are no two people passing by here, and there must be no one who doesn't sell.

"Yunfang, you repeat what you said, I didn't remember it just now." Liu Jianjun is a studious person, the first thing he wants to do is to learn Shen Yunfang's selling words. come out.

So Shen Yunfang gave them a short-term training. These four people, even the old and the young, worked hard to memorize the peddling words.

Shitou and Shuanzi were young and had a good memory, so they could memorize them within a few times, but Liu Jianjun and Li Xianglian couldn't memorize them all. Alas, Shen Yunfang scratched her head when she saw it.

"Eldest sister, brother-in-law, you don't have to recite that. When someone comes, you can just say whatever you want." There is no need to shout the same thing.

"No, how can you just say it casually? Leave us alone, your brother-in-law and I will definitely be able to recite it well." So the couple faced the wall and recited words again.

People passed by here one after another. Some people stopped after hearing Shen Yunfang's hawking, looked at it, and then left again. Some looked good, so they paid for a pair. On this day, from seven in the morning After one o'clock, by three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Yunfang had sold a total of 23 couplets without keeping an account, and she had only four or sixty cents in her pocket.No more, no less.

In the afternoon, Shen Yunfang saw that there were fewer people, and felt that there was no need to set up the stall, so she asked Liu Jianjun to close the stall together.Several people pushed a cart of Spring Festival couplets back to the courtyard.

Mu Huazhen and the others who were waiting at home were also very anxious, and when they saw them coming back, they all ran over.

"How is today?" Actually, seeing the couplets full of cars, it was no different from when they were leaving. Mu Huazhen knew that it might not be going well, but she still asked with a smile.

"It's pretty good. I've sold several pairs." Li Xianglian said happily. She felt that four yuan a day was a lot more.

Mu Huazhen looked at Shen Yunfang and saw that she didn't care too much, so she also smiled, "Really, that's great, it's a good time to open the door, come and warm up in the house, I'll unload the car." She took the initiative rush to work.

"Hey, no, no, you're so clean, don't mess around, don't do it, let's do it." Li Xianglian refused to let Mu Huazhen do it, "Yunfang, you too, you've been standing for a day, hurry up Go to the house for a rest, and your brother-in-law and I will finish unloading in a while."

"No, big sister, let's work together, it's not too late to rest."

A few people went back and forth a few times and put all the couplets on the tricycle back into the warehouse.

Then a group of people went to the house to warm up and wait for dinner.

The lunch was made by Mu Huazhen in the courtyard. Ma Liguo delivered it to several people. It was cold when it was delivered, so everyone just ate it. Now that Mu Huazhen saw that everyone was back, she hurried Zhang Luo, this is for dinner.

With so many people's meals, Mu Huazhen couldn't be left to work alone. At noon, it was impossible, and everyone was away, so before Shen Yunfang's butt was warmed up, she went to help cook again.

There are so many people and the work is fast, and dinner is already eaten after four o'clock.

At the dinner table, Shen Yunfang summarized today's sales situation.

"Today is our first day to set up a stall. It is already very good to have this result, but we have to work hard to sell more in the future. After all, we have so many in the warehouse, and many of them are couplets from this year. If there are any leftovers, we can only sell them." It will be sold after 12 years."

Ma Liguo nodded accordingly. He was not very satisfied with today's sales performance. After all, he had high expectations at the beginning, but now it suddenly happened, which made him a little disappointed.

"We have 20 styles, one type is printed with [-] copies, do the math, that's [-] copies, and it's only [-] days before the Chinese New Year, except that we have to sell [-] copies a day to sell out before the Chinese New Year. At the beginning, he thought that if these were not enough to sell, he would ask the workers in the printing factory to print them for him, but now it seems that there is no need.

Li Xianglian, who was smiling and eating happily, was dumbfounded, what?Sell ​​20 copies a day?Only more than [-] copies were sold today. Thinking about the gap in the middle, she immediately felt that the meal was a little hard to swallow, and she couldn't eat it anymore.

Her mood changed so much that everyone at the table could see it.

Shen Yunfang smiled and persuaded Li Xianglian, "Sister, don't get angry, this is equivalent to a business without capital, and the cost of these older Spring Festival couplets is only 200 yuan. God can’t sell the money, don’t you think so?”

Ma Liguo bowed his head and said nothing, knowing that Shen Yunfang said this purely to comfort Sister Li, and he knew the cost better than anyone else.

If the gift money for the director of the printing factory was not added at the beginning, it would have cost Yunfang 130 yuan to find someone to write couplets, and he paid almost 270 yuan for the plate maker and printing master, and these papers They also paid for the money themselves, which is not much. A total of 100 yuan was given to the printing factory, so the total cost will be at least 1000 yuan.

Of course, Yunfang took out the money first, and he originally wanted to take some out, but Yunfang said that she took the money first to keep accounts of how much she spent, and it was convenient in the end.

Maybe you have to lose money now.

After listening to Shen Yunfang's words, Sister Li lowered her head and made up her own mind, "Well, if we sell more, we won't be able to accompany you. But we won't make any money either."

Sister Li suddenly thought of the cost of food and lodging when her family came here. If the money was not earned, her family came here not to help her younger siblings, but to add to the burden.

"Don't worry about this. We came out to set up a stall on the first day. Many people don't know that we sell Spring Festival couplets here, and there is still a long time before the New Year. Many people are used to shopping for New Year's goods after the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month. So we Don't worry, it will be fine in a few days." Even though today's business is bleak, Shen Yunfang is still very confident.

The first one is that she analyzed the characteristics of the current era. At this time, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, and the common people have been in a state of underfed economy for a long time, that is to say, they can’t sell things even if they have money, so many people have formed a habit. , as long as there is something to sell, regardless of whether it is useful or not in your own home, you should buy it first and store it at home, so that you will not be able to buy it later.Many people now have this kind of heart.

In one, the Spring Festival couplet business was decided after her careful consideration.In the past ten years, due to political reasons, many people did not dare to post couplets during Chinese New Year, for fear of being characterized as feudal superstition.However, the people's emphasis on the Spring Festival and the traditional customs of the Spring Festival are not so easily changed.Now that the national policy is good, the common people will definitely want to celebrate the Spring Festival again. Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters are indispensable for every household.

So she thinks that the business of selling Spring Festival couplets is promising.
