Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 560: Business is booming 2

By the afternoon, the number of people in the shop gradually decreased, and a few people came down happily.

After they had stocked up and cleaned the shop, two people were left at the front to look after the shop, and the rest were called by Xu Han to the backyard.

Everyone sat around the table in the yard, drinking freshly brewed tea and taking a break.

After everyone had caught their breath, Xu Han said, "Let's have a simple meeting. How do you feel about today after this morning? Do you have any questions or anything that doesn't make sense? Tell us so we can solve it together."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

"It's okay, everyone, just speak up. Only by speaking out can we find a way to solve the problem. Otherwise, the problem will always exist. If it is not solved, you will still have the same problem when you go to work in the future."

After Xu Han said this, everyone started talking in groups of three or four. Everyone was talking one after another, and soon most of the problems Xu Han had seen this morning were raised. Of course, there were also some problems that Xu Han had not seen.

"What you said is very good, we will solve them one by one.

The first thing is the weighing thing. You must remember the price and don’t get it confused.

Another thing is that standing all the time is too tiring, so we have to put two or three high stools next to the counter so that we can sit down and rest when no one is around. Sitting on the high stools, we can also see what's going on in the store to prevent anyone from stealing.

As for theft, we can only keep a closer eye on it, and also write a sign on the shop that says "If you steal something worth one cent, you will be fined one hundred cents", to deter those petty thieves."

Xu Han solved the problems they raised one by one, and after getting the solutions, they immediately started to implement them.

Xu Han took Han Qi to measure the dimensions and handed him the drawing of the high stool she had just drawn.

After receiving the instructions, Han Qi took his things and went back to the mountains.

When the Taoist priest and his companions heard that they were going back to the mountains, they insisted on going back with Han Qi.

Xu Han couldn't stop him and could only let him go. In the end, Grandpa Zhao and the two children also went back with him.

There were few people in the shop in the afternoon, and they did not gather in groups of three or four, so the shop was not very busy.

Xu Han called Juxiang and Li Wen, and the three of them went to the side hall in the backyard to settle the accounts for this morning.

Because the money had been counted in the morning, Xu Han was not surprised when she saw the total amount.

In just the morning, I earned 42 taels and 3 cents, not counting the afternoon!

However, the number of people in the afternoon can be ignored. This is ancient times, and not many people come out to buy vegetables in the afternoon. Generally, there are the most people in the morning and after breakfast.

After the peak period, I couldn’t make much money in an afternoon. Even if it was the opening day, I could only make about one or two taels of silver.

They were not there when they were counting the money in the morning. When they saw the total sales for the day, they were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.

After a long while, Li Wen finally spoke, "This is really the money we earned in this day. Wow, this is too much! Who would have thought that our mountain goods shop would have such a large turnover in a day."

Juxiang was also surprised. "I also looked at the account books of the shop with the nanny of the previous owner's family. No one could earn so much in a day."

Xu Han smiled and said, "We opened today, and we did a good job in early publicity. Today, almost half of the people in the county came to buy things from us, and there are even more. Many wealthy families also came to buy things. That's why we can make so much money all at once.

After the first three days, there will definitely not be so much left. Even tomorrow it is unlikely to be more than today. In the future, if we can stabilize and make three or four taels of silver a day, it will be very good. There may even be less than three or four taels of silver. "

After that, Xu Han looked at Li Wen and said, "Today, many wealthy families are here to buy. You can find time to contact them and see if we can establish long-term cooperation. We can give them a 10% discount on the price."

After thinking for a while, he continued to remind them, "It doesn't matter if we can't reach an agreement now. Once our canned fruits and fruit wine are out, we can use this as a trump card to negotiate with them."

There are many wealthy families in the county town, and they buy large quantities every time. If we can win them over, there will be no shortage of buyers for the things in our shop in the future.

Li Wen immediately understood what Xu Han meant. "Yes, Madam. I will work hard and try to take them all down."

"Well, after it's settled, we can provide them with some conveniences."

With Xu Han's words, Li Wen felt more confident. He had also eaten canned fruit and fruit wine before, and it was because he had tasted them that he felt more confident.

After agreeing on the follow-up matters of the shop, Xu Han waved her hand and asked them to go about their business first, then called Lu Chuan over.

Xu Han looked at the money box, her eyes narrowed with joy. "I have spent so much money during this period, and finally there is a business that pays off.

If I don’t get my money back, I’ll be left with nothing.”

Lu Chuan looked at the box full of copper coins and silver coins and said to Xu Han, "Put all this money away. Leaving one or two taels of silver in the shop will be enough for circulation.

Anyway, there is no need to purchase any goods, and it won’t cost much.”

Xu Han waved her hand and did not collect them. "Let's put them here first. We won't be busy the day after tomorrow, and we won't need so many people in the shop. I'll ask Li Wen, Li Feng, Liu Erzhu, and Zhu Chunsheng to go to the village to collect the sweet potatoes.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is not far away, I first harvested some sweet potatoes to prepare for wine making, and try to sell them before the New Year. "

Lu Chuan calculated the time and said, "It may be difficult before the New Year. It's already November 16th. It will take a month just for fermentation."

"It's okay. Aren't there still some in the mountains? We can pre-sell them, ask them to pay a deposit first, and then release the goods before the Chinese New Year.

And the sweet potato wine is definitely not cheap. I guess most people who buy it are from the county town. Their homes are in the county town, so it is convenient for us to deliver the wine to their doorstep or for them to pick it up from the store.”

Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows. "Is this okay?"

Hearing this, Xu Han asked back, "Is sweet potato wine delicious? Do you like it? Can other wines be compared to it in strength?"

Although Lu Chuan didn't know why Xu Han asked this, he still nodded honestly and shook his head.

"That's right. Our sweet potato wine is not sold anywhere else. And it's strong. Even the worldly-wise Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest think it's good. Do you think they won't buy it after tasting it?"

So what if I have to wait for a while? It’s not like I can’t wait.”
