Li Qingshan and Liu Yu returned to the shop, at this time many people from the village also came, Cong Chunhua led these villagers to the back to look at the yard.
Country people always say that the city is nice, clean and luxurious. But these folks looked at it today, and they didn't see anything good.
"It's too small, just pay eight taels of silver?"
The output of one mu of land with two seasons of grain is a little more than one tael throughout the year. This shop is worth eight mu of grain a year?
"Isn't that right? When I first came in, I felt comforted. It's as spacious as our house. If you want me to live here, I try to suppress my illness. But fortunately, they don't usually live in the shop."
When Li Qingshan and Liu Yu were looking for a shop, they thought about having a bigger yard with a well, but after thinking about it, it would be a bad idea to kill pigs in the shop. Firstly, if the owner thinks it is dirty, he may not agree to it at all, and secondly, he is afraid of being disgusted by neighbors.
Furthermore, the rent is expensive, and they are small businesses and cannot afford it.
Like the shop rented now, although the yard is a bit small, but the front shop is enough, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu are actually quite satisfied.
After all, you can't have both!
"Oh, it's really not easy to make a living in the county." An old woman in a village said so.
Just looking at the big horse mule bought and the shop rented out, the appearance is very beautiful and enviable. But if you think about it carefully, the peasants who have no roots and no roots in the county rely on themselves to fight for all this, and it is not so easy behind it.
These soft-hearted aunts and aunts immediately decided to cut some meat for a while and support the Qingshan family. Speaking of which, this is the first time that people from their village have opened a shop in the county, so they have to support it.
When the time came, Li Qingshan and the others bought it themselves, Uncle Li, Dazhuang, and neighbors around the shop added it, a total of six hanging whips were lit at the same time.
The sound of firecrackers, many people around, and wedding candy collars attracted many people to stop.
After the sound of firecrackers fell behind, Li Qinghe acted as a boy and stood at the door of the shop with a gong and knocked on it, shouting loudly: "Fathers and folks, don't miss it when you pass by. Liji Butcher Shop is open today, and all the meat is sold here." It's cheap!"
"Okay!"
Da Zhuang handed the bamboo pole to pick up the plaque and red cloth to Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan took it, tilted his head and smiled and took Liu Yu's hand, amidst the applause, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu overlapped and held each other Together they picked off the red cloth from the plaque and smiled at each other.
...
This new shop has opened, I'm afraid that others will not know.
Li Qingshan originally planned to hire a boy to carry a copper gong and go all over the city to shout, but Li Qinghe told him not to waste the money, he took a copper gong and filled a lot of wedding candy and went to the street , walked all the way and shouted, "Nanfang Street, there is a new butcher shop, and they are all sold at a low price!"
Cong Chunhua listened outside, then came back and smiled and said to Li Qingshan and Liu Yu: "Your second brother is so generous!" Others really can't learn how to go out!"
Li Qingshan said with a smile while cutting the meat: "The second brother always said that if he was not born in a farm family with little experience, otherwise he would have become a big boss!"
Liu Guiying listened, He laughed and scolded: "Listen to him talking nonsense and bragging!"
The whole family laughed.
The shop was busy when it first opened, with villagers coming to cheer, some regular customers, and passers-by who were attracted by the sound of firecrackers and wedding candies. After working hard for a while, most of the pork from these two pigs went away.
Because the shop opened today on the first day, the price of meat is two cents cheaper than usual, so I don't know whether I got a message from the neighbors or was called by Li Qinghe knocking on the gong. Come one, business is good.
Li Qingshan cuts the meat, and the willow fish collects the money. The young couple can get busy without the need for others to intervene.
Seeing the young couple doing business in an orderly manner, Cong Chunhua secretly wiped away two tears, and was comforted by Liu Guiying, "It's not that the child is promising, why are you crying!" It's true that you shouldn't cry, but looking at
her The son who lost his father a long time ago has grown up to be an upright man in charge by himself. Cong Chunhua is both happy and sad. The tears can't be stopped even after wiping them away.
At this time, another man hurried over, "I heard that meat is cheaper than two cents a catty today?"
Li Qingshan nodded and said with a smile: "The shop opened on the first day, and it's a festive occasion, which makes everyone happy."
The man heard the news I was really very happy, but when I took a look, I was so annoyed that I slapped my thigh, "Oh, the good meat has been picked away, I got this letter too late!
" Vinegar is fine, children love it, and the old man in the almond restaurant said that the pork ribs soup made him taller!"
Liu Yu said that the man felt very comfortable, and the ribs are only five yuan a catty on weekdays. Today it was only three pennies, it was really cheap, "Then give me five catties!"
Li Qingshan chopped ribs for this man, Liu Yu also asked this man if he wanted pig blood, if so, he could give him a piece.
The man nodded, and got a piece of pig's blood for nothing. Although it was not a valuable thing, it was given by someone else. There was no regret just now because he didn't catch up with Qiao. Xue, before leaving, said: "I will come again next time!"
Li Qingshan added, "Our shop opens at the hour of Chen!"
"Understood!" The man turned his head and smiled: "I'll go back and promote it to you go!"
This is the way to do business, let more customers who are kind and friendly, and develop people into repeat customers.
It is Liu Yu's point to tell the customers that the shop opens at the moment of Chen Shi. You have to tell the customers the opening time when the shop opens, so that people can understand it, so as to avoid resentment caused by running away several times.
Not only did he tell you verbally, but Liu Yu also asked Li Qingshan to ask someone to write a big-character poster on red paper and stick it at the door——Liji Butcher Shop is open every day at the exact hour of the day. Your patronage.
When the shop starts selling salted duck eggs in the future, it will also be written on it, so that customers will buy it immediately after seeing and hearing the letter. But I want customers to know the news and have an impression of this matter. If they want to buy in the future, they can think of their shop. This is the most important thing. Anyway, it doesn't take much trouble.
The two pigs only have two hundred catties of meat, which is still ribs. Once the news spreads that the price of meat is two yuan cheaper than usual, the meat will sell quickly.
Before lunch, no one bought the whole pig except for the two pig heads (for sacrifices), Li Qingshan had to split the pig head and pick out the meat and asked Cong Chunhua and the others to watch the shop sell it. sold out.
"This business is pretty good!" Cong Chunhua's hanging heart was a little relieved. Although she knew that this was the first day the shop opened and the meat was sold so quickly because of the cheap price, she had nothing to do all morning and just looked at it. There are so many people coming and going on this street, and there are so many residents in the rows behind the street shops, one knows that the pork of at least one pig a day can be sold.
Luckily, after renting the shop and changing the location, the original business was not affected, so she was more than half relieved.
Mrs. Guan, Cong Chunhua and the others watched the shop selling the pork heads that had been picked out for more than a dozen catties. They washed the chopping boards for cutting the meat and so on, and then locked the shop and went home by themselves in a mule cart.
Li Qingshan and Liu Yu set up a car after dinner and went to pick up the pigs.
Although the pork from two pigs was sold today, it was sold at a low price in order to attract people to the shop. Speaking of which, they still lost money, and there were still flowers for firecrackers and wedding candies.
Seeing that the recent credits are not enough to spend, it can't help but make people feel a little anxious.
Liu Yu sighed sadly after thinking like this, Li Qingshan smiled, held his hand, raised his eyebrows energetically, "What are you afraid of? At worst, I'll go out of the stall again!" Liu Yu was coaxed by him
, Grabbing his big rough hand and looking carefully: "You can't go out of the stall anymore." "
Wind and sun, people are easy to grow old." After speaking, Liu Yu hugged Li Qingshan's arm and nestled on his shoulder, "I hope God will take care of us a little bit."
In the past, Liu Yu didn't believe in these things, and felt that it was better to trust others than to trust herself. But after being with Li Qingshan, he seems to have a weakness, he will be afraid, and he will be more devout about these ghosts and gods.
Li Qingshan laughed, tilted his head and rubbed the top of his hair, and said very reliably: "Don't be afraid, I'm here for everything."... In the next few days, the
business
seemed to be on the right track, and it could be sold before lunch every day. One and a half pigs were removed, and the remaining half pigs had to be slowly sold in the shop in the afternoon.
It can be sold, but first, they have to collect the woolen pigs after they sell the pork and close the shop, and second, they can't leave all the work at home to Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan.
It took a little time to sell the remaining half of the pork. It took several days to wait for the people looking for work in the county to sell it after they got off work, and then waited for them to go home after harvesting the pigs. It's getting dark, and there's no time left for homework.
Although it is now when the work is closed early, when the hogs are harvested, they will inquire about a few more at a time, and the next few days will be fixed, and the next time they will be harvested directly, but the time saved is also very limited, and it is unavoidable to make money. Some distressed.
It was raining lightly this morning, so Li Qingshan only killed one pig, and it was sold out before lunch.
After the two of them washed and washed the meat, Li Qingshan filled the water tanks in the shop with water, then they locked the shop to collect the pigs and went home.
Liu Yu said: "Today I finally don't have to deal with those women and husbands any more."
These people acted as if they had made an appointment, the shop has only been open for nine days, and they have been pinching the last bit of meat for three consecutive days. time to come.
At this time, the leftover meat was picked by others, and it was sold at a cheap price, but these people still have to bargain, let alone the low price, even if you don't sell it, he won't leave and keep pestering you. Interfere with your business.
Brother Fang couldn't get used to it yesterday, and almost got into an argument with these people.
Fearing that things might go wrong and affect the business of the two of them, Liu Yu still sold the remaining pork head meat to these people at a low price. In fact, he couldn't hold his breath in his heart, and he was already thinking about something that would not affect the shop's business and could be rectified. It's the way of these people.
"Tomorrow, there will be no worries about selling the Fifteenth Fair, and they will definitely not come." Li Qingshan looked at Liu Yu's worried look and said, "If they come again in the future, we won't sell it, at worst we will keep it for ourselves!
" Just look at him, just be tough and scare these people. But Liu Yu stopped him, afraid that these women and husbands would say something bad outside, and since they just opened a new shop, it would not be good for people to spread the word about it.
"One pig head can produce five catties of meat!" Even after Li Qingshan became a butcher, they didn't have the luxury to eat meat every day, and two pig heads were ten catties, so if they couldn't sell it every day, wouldn't it be a waste?
The more Liu Yu thought about it, the more angry she became, "Those people are really thieves. Yesterday I saw a person coming from the south from a distance. I was just about to hide the meat, but suddenly another one appeared from the north!
" Right!
Li Qingshan couldn't stop laughing, took his hand and coaxed him: "Don't be angry, it's rare to finish work so early these days." The
rain was very light, it fell for a while, and at noon the sky cleared up again.
"I don't get angry with people I don't have anything to do with!" Now that his life is going so smoothly, this kind of thing is just talking about it and it won't really make him remember to affect his good mood. Liu Yu hugged Li Qingshan's arm and looked Wanwan said to him carefully: "The pea tips in the field are ready to be pinched. Let's go back and pinch some for a taste. Tomorrow's big market, get up early and pinch some and sell them at the door of the shop for money." "Yeah.
" Li Qingshan nodded, and his star pupils were also stained with a smile.
