Chapter 196: The proud Zhao Erdou
Looking at Lu Feng holding a plate, well, the plate was a porcelain plate borrowed from Lao Liu's next door. Looking at Lu Feng holding the plate, which contained spicy strips torn into small pieces, Lu Weiguo and Chen Lian looked at him in confusion.
Then he saw him walking to the front of the stall, and the person passing by shouted: "You can't miss it when passing by. The latest recipe introduced abroad is suitable for adults and children. It is delicious and not expensive. Now you can buy ten and get one, buy twenty and get three, buy more and get more, and you can taste it for free now. The quantity is not large, first come first served.
This elder sister, are you going to try one?"
The young woman who was shouted by Lu Feng shook her head shyly. It was obvious that she still felt a little shy about Lu Feng calling her directly to so many people.
"Sister, try it. It doesn't cost anyway, so I won't buy it if it's not delicious."
After Lu Feng shouted again, the younger woman came forward and took a piece and chewed it in her mouth.
A small piece of spicy strip was quickly swallowed by the other party. Although the spicy strip had been swallowed, the feeling on the taste buds did not dissipate for a long time.
"Can I get another piece?" the woman asked tentatively.
"No problem, this is a recipe obtained from abroad, absolutely not available in China. What's more important is that it tastes delicious and is suitable for both young and old. The New Year is coming soon. If the children come to pay New Year's greetings, they will definitely be more respectful."
As he said that, he handed a small piece to the woman. This time the woman did not eat it directly, but turned around and handed it to a man behind her.
At this time, Lu Feng noticed the man behind her and quickly spoke, "It turns out that the eldest brother is here too. Come and try another piece. It doesn't taste good, so it won't cost money."
The man was not polite, so he reached out and took another piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it before asking, "How did this thing be sold?"
"A penny, one dollar." As he said that, he pointed to the spicy cubes placed on the table. The man hesitated and looked at the woman. It was obvious that he was not making decisions at home.
"Give me twenty yuan." The woman said directly. After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and said again: "You just said that you can buy twenty yuan and get three yuan for free. You can't cheat."
"My must be, you and your elder brother are the first to buy it. Let's do this. I will give you one more. Do you think this is OK?"
The woman did not hesitate and said directly: "Yes, I'll help us pretend to be 2 cents."
The tasting just now made her unable to resist spicy strips, so after Lu Feng gave in again, she paid for it.
At this time, a major "characteristic" of Chinese people appeared. After the woman bought it, she surrounded seven or eight people. Of course, they also asked to try it.
Lu Feng was not stingy with this requirement, and then the business exploded, and many people started to pay for it.
Old Liu, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He really didn't expect that the stall that was left unattended in the morning would explode in just a few minutes.
There are three main reasons for the current scene. One is that the spicy strips conquered many people.
The second is that because of spicy strips and the discounts given by Lu Feng have inspired many people to take advantage of the situation.
The third one is much simpler, so I have to talk about another characteristic of Chinese people - they like to watch.
Whether it was before or in the future, as long as there was someone queuing in a certain place, people who were not sure would follow him. Just like Lu Feng remembered a joke he saw in his previous life, everyone was queuing. A group of aunts dancing square dance saw someone queuing, and they didn't ask a question, and followed him directly after queuing. It was not until after two or three hours that they found that the food was not sold in front, but the injection was given.
This is the case at the stalls on Lu Feng and others. When the first person starts queuing, it means that dozens of people will follow suit next time.
In just half an hour, all the two baskets brought by Lu Weiguo and Chen Lian were sold. Many people were annoyed because they didn't buy them. After repeated guarantees from Lu Weiguo and Chen Lian, everyone dispersed.
It was not until everyone had dispersed that Lu Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. After packing up his things, he said to the head of Old Liu next to him: "Brother Liu, we'll go back first, you're busy."
Old Liu was a little speechless, but there was no way. Who told him to mock Lu Weiguo before?
On the way back, Lu Weiguo couldn't help but ask, "Xiaofeng, why did you sell all the things after you came and shouted a few times? Your mother and I were frozen there all morning but couldn't sell one."
Seeing that his father would ask him, Lu Feng was also a little surprised. You should know that whether in his current memory or in his previous memory, his father Lu Weiguo was the kind of person who would not take the initiative to surrender or ask for help. Now he actually came to ask himself, which proved that he had realized that he had shortcomings.
"Didn't you and my mom see anything in the morning?"
Lu Feng asked back, he did not explain directly, and his purpose was to see if his parents were talented in doing business.
Lu Weiguo did not answer immediately, while Chen Lian, who was standing beside him, said first: "They were just looking, but no one came forward to ask."
After Chen Lian finished speaking, Lu Weiguo said, "Your mother is right. Those people just look at each other when they pass by, but no one comes up to ask. I think they probably don't know what we sell. If I were selling straw hats, everyone would definitely know."
"Yes, since everyone doesn't know, why not tell everyone?"
Lu Feng asked again, but this time, neither Chen Lian nor Lu Weiguo responded again, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed.
"I'm not blaming you. I want to tell you that you must use your brain no matter what you do. This is not farming. After planting the seedlings, you can just pull out all the grass. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields. Now the spicy strip business is just starting, so many things are very simple. Once the spicy strip business becomes prosperous, trouble will follow."
Lu Feng's words made Lu Weiguo think in thought. At first, he was silent because he felt that his son looked down on him anymore, so he didn't respond. But after Lu Feng explained, he realized that he was wrong, and it was outrageous. The son did not look down on the couple, but wanted to tell them that doing business was not easy.
"Then your mother and I will also imitate you to shout like this today in the next episode?"
Lu Weiguo asked with some uncertainty. His mind was in chaos now. To be precise, he had no idea of doing business at all.
Before, there was no need to worry about selling straw hats. They just sold as much as they could, and there was no need to worry about the straw hats breaking. Now it’s different. Spicy strips are new foods, and you can expect the future popularity of spicy strips. Once the spicy strip business becomes popular, what is waiting for Lu Weiguo will be endless trouble.
So Lu Feng now must instill business ideas in his parents during the Spring Festival period as much as possible, otherwise it would be too late to wait until something happened.
"No need, business is so good today. I don't need to shout again when the next episode is over. I'm going to do more in the next two days. I guess more people will buy spicy strips in the next episode."
Lu Feng has already thought about it and will teach his parents how to do business during this period. Although he cannot teach them comprehensively, the most basic common knowledge can be taught to the two.
After returning home, Lu Weiguo and Chen Lian calculated their income today for one day, and earned less than six yuan in total. In addition to the cost, they could still make three yuan, which was simply huge profit.
You should know that even the catering industry is more than 30% profitable, let alone the spicy strips business. It is almost 100% profitable. If you make 600 spicy strips, you need about four kilograms of flour, and one kilogram of flour is about six cents.
Four pounds of flour are two yuan and four yuan, plus chili and oil, which costs about 50 cents, so there are not three yuan in total. In the end, it can be sold for six yuan, and the profit is 100%.
These are just the early stage. If you do more in the later stage, the profit will probably not be doubled, at least twice as much as possible, or even more. So now that the Lu family has started to do it, Lu Feng must consider the problems they will face next.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Feng did not go to the market again on that day. Only Lu Weiguo and Chen Lian went there. The two of them brought nearly 2,000 yuan of spicy cubes this time, and they still left early in the morning and came back at around 10 o'clock. After they left the two thousand spicy cubes, they were snatched up and the business was excellent.
The reason why Lu Feng did not go was because he had predicted the situation today, so it was the same whether he went or not. The second was because he was waiting for someone.
At around 9:30, Lu Feng stood at the intersection and looked at it. There was still no figure in the distance. Just as Lu Feng was about to turn around and go back, a roar of a car came from the distance. Lu Feng turned around and saw a thick "fog" flying, and a black shadow rushed out of the thick fog.
In just over a dozen seconds, the black shadow came to Lu Feng's side, and a burst of dust followed, and Lu Feng couldn't even open his eyes.
"Xiaofeng, are you waiting for me?"
Parked in the cab of the military green truck next to Lu Feng, Zhao Erdou stuck out his head and shouted. His excited and proud expression could be seen from his face.
"Erdou is back, I thought you won't go back in the morning!"
When Lu Feng saw Zhao Erdou, a smile appeared on his face. That's right, Lu Feng was just waiting for Zhao Erdou today.
Sitting in the truck's cab, Lu Feng looked up and down the old truck. Well, it must be retro for Lu Feng. After all, the trucks he has seen are the latest models decades later.
"How is my car?"
Zhao Erdou patted the steering wheel and asked Lu Feng with a smile. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with his car. The word satisfaction could no longer describe him. To be precise, it should be proud.
"It's great, it's great. How can your fleet let you drive your car back? Are you not afraid of the factory holding the responsibility?"
Lu Feng asked curiously, but he knew that Zhao Erdou and his team had very strict requirements on the fleet in the factory, mainly because the cars are very precious nowadays.
Not to mention anything else, Zhao Erdou's car is still a 60-8-year-old car, and it has been twelve years now, but it is very well maintained. It seems that there is no pressure to run for another three or five years.
"I brought a cargo to the county this morning, and I had a good relationship with the captain, so he allowed me to drive it back directly and wait for the New Year before driving it back. However, I have to pay for the oil during the New Year."
Zhao Erdou said with a smile, his tone revealed pride. He had only been in the convoy for two years, and now he was able to drive the convoy back, which shows that he was in the convoy.
"That's not bad. Besides, during the New Year, you are planning to drive your car out to pay New Year's greetings. If it rains, the car will probably not be sold in the village."
It's okay now. If it's windy, rainy or snowy during the Chinese New Year, it will be difficult for Zhao Erdou to drive out the truck. After all, the road in their village is still the same as mud and stone road, and it will all be rotten as soon as the water soaks.
"Oh, it seems, I forgot about it. If it rains, it will be over. Then my car can't drive to the village, otherwise it will be troublesome if it really doesn't work."
Zhao Erdou glanced at the village, then thought about it before speaking again: "I'll drive back and take a walk, and drive to Uncle Wang later, so that I won't be afraid even if I get a knife."
"That's fine. I'll go see my second uncle with you later. I haven't visited him for so long after I've been back."
Speaking of Wang Yuanchao, Lu Feng felt a little wronged. Although he didn't catch his handle because of the cigarette, the factory still directly rubbed him to the end. Two years have passed, and he has just gotten the position of deputy director of the workshop. What he has to admit is really great.
Of course, he got a lot of money. After all, in his "small treasury", there were more than a dozen bundles of reunion.
But it’s a pity that he hasn’t dared to spend it in the past two years, and has never dared to buy the TV set he has watched. He can be said to be careful and careful.
This time, Lu Feng wanted to see him, but he also wanted to condom him and see if he was interested in leaving the tobacco factory and returning to Zhaojia Village to open a factory.
If Wang Yuanchao had this intention, then Lu Feng would prepare to make some operation and start to build the mountain city into the "Spicy Stripe Capital", so that people would think of the mountain city whenever they mentioned spicy strips in the future.
These are all the plans in Lu Feng's mind. He knew very well that his parents could not make much money. He had to open a factory and build the entire Zhaojia Village and even the entire mountain city into a spicy strip production base. In this way, he had a little confidence to work with other places, and only a little confidence.
If the city or province can strongly support them, then they will be fully confident to face the blow of Lazhai being imitated and plagiarized. Of course, it is still too early to consider these things, but Lu Feng is the kind of person who will look back three steps no matter what he does. Although Lazhai Factory is still imagining now, he has already considered how to deal with plagiarism in other regions.
