The location of Zhao Qinglan's snack bar is pretty good, as many of the storefronts used to do business in this area.
However, due to changes in the situation in the past few years, they have all become owner-occupied. Now, in addition to their snack bar, there are also a few that have begun to do business.
Seeing that the sound of firecrackers attracted many spectators, Zhao Qinglan immediately struck while the iron was hot and started shouting.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. The time-honored snack bar is open for business. If you come in today, you will get a 50% discount on everything. If you come in the store within the next week, you will also enjoy a 20% discount."
She introduced the marketing discount methods of later generations early.
Those who are in the food business generally make more than half of their profits. If you don't take out rent, water, electricity, manpower, etc., you will basically make no profit.
Their rent is not expensive, mainly because there are very few people choosing to rent now.
As for manpower, their store does not hire outsiders, they are all their own people, so the cost can be ignored for the time being.
There are many people who were just watching the fun, but when they heard about the 50% discount, they started to take action.
After Zhao Qinglan shouted, she asked her mother and second younger sister to go in and get busy. She went to find a board and write down the 50% off discount for today's store.
When Zhao Qinglan shouted those words, Li Huai looked at her in surprise.
As the intimacy deepened, he thought he had gradually understood the person next to him, and his evaluation of her improved day by day.
But he didn't expect that she would always show her unknown side and always bring surprises to him.
Although Li Huai has never been in business, he is smart and may have some factors inherited from his maternal family, so he is still somewhat keen on business.
After listening to Zhao Qinglan's words and looking at the reactions of the people present, I figured out the subtleties of this marketing strategy.
Although he was doubtful about how his wife could understand this, he still helped her find something to write with.
Sun and her daughters have already prepared the ingredients.
Knowing that she would not always interfere in the future, Zhao Qinglan took her sister to meet with the other party after discussing the sources of the ingredients, and said that her sister would be the one to communicate about the purchase in the future.
These were all trivial matters, and the other party didn't think there was anything wrong.
Everyone who was still watching outside couldn't help but swallow their saliva after smelling the fragrance gradually wafting out of the store.
In fact, the soup base is already made of big bones, and the wontons are made with fresh vegetables to match.
But firstly, fresh vegetables are hard to come by in winter, and secondly, people nowadays are generally short of oil and water in their stomachs, so Zhao Qinglan chose to make fresh meat wontons.
Everyone at the door was interested, but no one had come in yet. Zhao Qinglan, who had written the board, came up with another trick.
"The first three customers who dine in today can have a free bowl."
Good guy, as soon as she said these words, the people who were still hesitating at the door seemed to have been pressed on the start button and rushed into the store.
Fortunately, Li Huai helped maintain order and the first three customers to enter the store were identified.
Although Li Huai was not wearing a military uniform today, his aura was so impressive that ordinary people like him really didn't have much confidence.
There were seven or eight tables in the store, and they were almost full with the wave of customers rushing in.
When Mrs. Sun saw it in the kitchen, she immediately smiled from ear to ear, and her heart was relieved.
It's good to have customers. Having customers will bring income and make money. She and her two daughters will be able to be self-reliant in the future.
The mother and daughter were anxiously cooking wontons at the back.
In the front, Zhao Qinglan acted as a waiter and took note of how many bowls each table ordered.
Li Huai temporarily acted as the cashier, and the eldest child thought he had grown up, so he also ran around to help.
Erwa and Xiaoduo originally wanted to help, but Zhao Qinglan felt that they were too young and was afraid that they would be accidentally knocked and burned if they failed to help, so she asked the two little guys to stay where their mother and others were resting.
Yang Qingmin, who was slightly disguised, purposely passed by the snack bar and quickly took a look inside.
When he saw Zhao Qinglan, Li Huai, his wife, and even the eldest son busy at work, he became more and more convinced that this shop belonged to Li Huai.
The more determined he became, the more he regretted not bringing a camera. What good evidence.
The big words saying 50% off for the opening at the door are quite attractive, plus the store is almost full of customers.
After that, more people came in one after another.
Although it's not as big as the one at the beginning, it's still stable.
Zhao Qinglan and the others kept busy until all the stock prepared for today was used up, then they closed the door.
And this time, it's already past lunch time.
A few people only took turns to rest around three or four o'clock when there were fewer customers.
After all this time, everyone was exhausted, but everyone had a smile of joy on their faces.
They didn't even eat lunch in the afternoon, so they just took a bite at lunch.
Zhao Qinglan took the initiative to invite Ying to cook and asked her two sisters to calculate today's accounts.
Li Huai was embarrassed to handle the money in their store, so he followed Zhao Qinglan into the back kitchen.
As for the three children, the eldest child was exhausted from helping, so he went to lie down and fall asleep.
Erwa and Xiaoduo were playing marbles there.
Zhao Qinglan picked up the existing ingredients in the kitchen and made a big stew.
Li Huai started to wash the vegetables and put away those things that could help. When Zhao Qinglan started to wave the spatula, he could only stand aside and watch.
"Qinglan, I think the business in the store is okay, you can rest assured about Mom and the others." He was still standing anyway, so he started chatting.
"Isn't that right? Although there are more customers today because of the discount, the wontons in the store are full of ingredients and taste good, so the business will not be bad in the future." She smiled when she mentioned this.
There are only a few people who know how to do business here. As long as the taste is not too bad and the price is right, you can definitely make money.
Isn't there a saying in later generations that if you stand on the wind, even a pig can fly.
From the reform and opening up to the 1980s and 1990s, it was a golden age for business, with all walks of life booming.
As long as you work hard and work hard, you can still make a small fortune and settle down, even if you don't become a rich man in the future.
Think about how hard it was when you were living alone in your last life, and then look at it now.
Comparing the two, she felt that it was great to be back.
Rebirth gave her countless opportunities.
Seeing her happy look, Li Huai felt very happy in his heart.
"By the way, after I go back today, you won't have to come in the next few days. I have to come a few times. There are discounts these days, so there will be more customers. If I don't come, I'm afraid my mother and the others won't be busy." Zhao Qinglan
Discuss it with him.
"Okay, you can just do it by yourself. Just leave the children at home, so you don't have to worry."
"Actually, it's not bad. The eldest baby helped me a lot today." She smiled.
Thinking of his son's future, Li Huai was quite proud, but he still said modestly: "He is the boss, so he should be like this."
Come on, I thought I couldn't see your little pride.
Zhao Qinglan only thought it was funny, but she didn't expose him.
As the aroma from the kitchen became stronger and stronger, Erwa, a snack connoisseur, also came in looking for the smell.
"Mom, can I eat it?" he asked while swallowing his saliva.
Zhao Qinglan opened the lid and took a look. "Just simmer for another two or three minutes."
"Oh, it's time to eat, it's time to eat." Erwa cheered and ran out.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai both had helpless smiles on their faces.
When she went out with Li Huai with the food, she saw her mother and two younger sisters sitting there blankly, like sculptures.
