After the two tasted it, Zhao Jingcai sighed, "Sweet potatoes look like the same sweet potatoes, how can there be such a big difference in taste?"

"Yeah, these sweet potato chips are very chewy and not greasy. It's not bad to serve your Uncle Zhao with wine."

"That's right, you can still be lazy, and you don't have to make appetizers for my cousin and me."

Yang Qiaolan glared at her man: "You know how to drink!"

It was rare to see the couple arguing, and Su Kefang laughed: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, these sweet potato chips can go with wine, but they are even better as snacks for children."

Yang Qiaolan looked at a piece of animal-shaped potato chips in her hand, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, these sweet potato chips are so beautiful, children will definitely like them."

Zhao Jingcai's eyes lit up: "Fang'er, what can you do?"

Su Kefang hooked his lips: "Uncle Zhao, didn't you see it? It's the sweet potato chips."

"I know you want to sell sweet potato chips, but this product shouldn't sell well if it's sold out? Do you have other outlets?"

Zhao Jingcai understood Su Kefang's temperament to some extent, knowing that she must have a good idea for bringing so many sweet potato chips.

Here are all our own people, Su Kefang didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "Uncle Zhao, I have two plans, the first one is to buy or rent a shop in the county, and we sell the sweet potato chips ourselves." ;The second is to wholesale sweet potato chips to candy shops, which should not make a lot of money, but it is easy and stress-free.”

Sweet potatoes were very cheap in this dynasty, but the child's picture was fresh and interesting, otherwise she wouldn't have spent so much effort carving so many styles of molds.

"Uncle Zhao, you have been in the city for a while, do you know the rent of the shop here and the price of buying a shop?" Su Kefang knew that buying a shop here is not just about buying a storefront, but buying the whole building.

"Fang'er, I actually asked my cousin about this. The shops in poor locations in the city can only be sold for 40 to 70 taels for a two- or three-story building, and those in general locations can be sold for [-] to [-] taels. Hundreds of taels, the price in a good location is sky-high, we dare not even think about it, the rent is also different depending on the location.”

Zhao Jingcai's goal was to buy a shop of his own in the city, so as soon as he entered the city, he first inquired about the price and rent of the shop in the city, so that he had a good idea.

Su Kefang pondered, the price Zhao Jingcai said was not far from her pre-estimated price.

Everyone knows that the price of sweet potatoes is not high. The sweet potato chips are definitely not affordable. Buying or renting a store in the county is like gambling. Whether it is good or bad is unknown. It is unrealistic for her current situation.

In an instant, Su Kefang had made a choice: "Uncle Zhao, take me to the candy shop in the city tomorrow."

"Success!" Hearing Su Kefang's tone, Zhao Jingcai already guessed that she had no plans to buy a shop or rent a shop for the time being.

The next day, Su Kefang changed into men's clothes again, and walked towards the street with Zhao Jingcai and Xudong.

This is the county seat, and the defense between men and women is more important. Today, she plans to talk about the sweet potato chip business in person, so she shows off in men's clothing.

Along the way, Zhao Jingcai briefly explained to Su Kefang the general structure of Huaitang County and the distribution of streets.

Soon, the three of them came to the lively street. The streets of the county town during the day had a completely different taste from the street that Su Kefang saw last night.

Although she just passed by in a hurry last night, she still smelled the extravagant smell emanating from the inside out on the street, and the noisy and prosperous scene in front of her gave people a vigorous and down-to-earth feeling.

"Fang'er, there are three big candy shops in this city, and there is also a small candy shop." Zhao Jingcai continued to introduce.

Su Kefang's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Uncle Zhao, how is the business of the three big candy shops?"

"The business of these candy shops seems to be doing well."

After Zhao Jingcai arrived in the county seat, apart from delivering goods to "Many Customers", he spent the rest of his time finding out the movements of all walks of life in the city. This was also the task Su Kefang entrusted to him. Outside the high-end shops where he was a regular customer, he was already familiar with the bosses or shopkeepers of other shops.

"Where's that little candy shop?" Su Kefang asked thoughtfully.

"The business of that small candy shop does not seem to be worse than those of the three big candy shops." Speaking of this, Zhao Jingcai was also very puzzled: "I don't think they have many kinds of candy, and the shop is small, but I don't know How come there are so many guests coming?"

It is already surprising that a small candy shop has not been swallowed up or suppressed by several other big candy shops. The business is even better than several big candy shops. Su Kefang suddenly became interested in this small candy shop.

After visiting the last candy store, Su Kefang finally understood why the business of that small candy store was better than the other big ones.

The first point is that the sales groups of the small candy shop and the three big candy shops are different, so there is no real competition.
The sales group is ordinary people in the county. Su Kefang found that the customers who enter the small candy shop basically bring their children to choose candies, while the other three big candy shops are all well-dressed housekeepers or purchasers. Steward.

The second is that the small candy shop is run by the owner's family of three, and the interaction with the customers is as close as that of a neighbor, so those who enter the shop are repeat customers; while the other shops are guarded by the shopkeeper and the waiter. Wholeheartedly for the sake of the interests of the shop, but also two words.

"Uncle Zhao, Xudong, let's go back to that little candy shop." Su Kefang had already made up his mind.

Xudong hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, that small candy store's business is good, but the price of their candy is cheaper than the other three, and the profit must be low. Why don't you cooperate with those three big candy stores?"

Cooperate with a few big candy shops, and the price can be raised by then.

Su Kefang smiled: "Xudong, they adopt a business model of small profits but high sales. Don't look at their low profits. The more they sell, the more money they make. The most important thing is our sweet potato chips. It’s cheap food in itself, so those big candy shops might not be interested in it.”

Zhao Jingcai thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It makes sense."

The owner of the small candy shop was taken aback when they saw Su Kefang and the others coming back, but they didn't treat them coldly because they didn't buy anything just now.

"A few guest officers will take a look at it casually, and go to the counter to get a bag for what they like." The boss's son greeted with a smile.

Su Kefang smiled: "Let's talk to the boss about something."
