In the past two days, the father and daughter have been to many nearby markets and are already familiar with the nearby roads.
After some consideration, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo finally decided to go to a commercial market two or three kilometers away from her residence.
The entire market does not occupy a large area, but the shops are very dense.
To the east of the market is a wholesale market selling household items and some decorations, and to the west is a newly built cultural and creative pedestrian street.
During the daytime on weekdays, the flow of people in each market is not too large, but there are still many young people who come to shop or the bosses who purchase goods in this market.
Lin Cheng and Lin Momo came to stand beside a path next to the pedestrian street.
Although the father and daughter both wore hats and masks for the sake of hygiene, this pair of father and daughter stood on the street, and the vaguely visible good looks still attracted the attention of many people.
When a few young girls walked past the two of them, they couldn't help but take a few more glances, and talked in a low voice with a smile:
"Look, over there, there is an adult with a child, is it the brother with the sister, or the father with the child?"
"Daddy, let's take the daughter," one person guessed, "but this dad looks so young."
"I also think, hehe, I feel that both of them have good looks."
"What can you tell if you wear a mask?"
"Although they are wearing masks, but based on my years of experience in seeing handsome guys, this father and daughter are definitely good-looking!"
"What are they doing, are they selling things?" At this moment, some of them finally noticed the two baskets, one big and one small hanging on Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.
The two ends of a rope are tied to the two corners of the front end of the basket, one on the left and one on the right, and the ropes on the two corners on the back are clamped to the clothes with clips. influence action. On Lin Momo's waist, there was also a small basket modified from a mineral water bottle, which contained seasonings, human clips, bamboo sticks, food bags and so on.
"Isn't it recording some program, or picking a scene?"
Because Lin Cheng and Lin Momo gave people a different feeling from the usual small vendors selling things here, this inevitably made several people guess.
"Maybe it's true."
The eyes of several people searched around, trying to find the existence of the work car of the program group or the existence of the camera group, but it was not easy to come and go nearby, and the cameraman who followed the film was hidden in the crowd. be found.
"What are they selling? Food?"
"Seems to be."
On one side of the basket, Lin Momo pasted the words 'Delicious Bean Cake' written in colored pens.
"Shall we go and have a look?" someone suggested.
The other three girls next to her were obviously eager to try, but they were a little embarrassed to ask.
Just as the girls were hesitating, Lin Momo had already taken the initiative to run in front of them.
"Miss, we sell bean dregs cakes, do you want to buy one?" Lin Momo asked.
After a pause, Lin Momo took another deep breath, and continued to introduce word by word: "Our bean dregs cake is made of bean dregs and fresh vegetables. It is delicious and healthy. Eat it It’s not easy to gain weight.”
Lin Momo's last words obviously moved the four girls in front of him.
Seeing that some people seemed interested, Lin Momo hurriedly said, "If you are a little hungry, you can try this."
"How do you sell this?" one of the girls asked.
"The big one is two yuan, the small one is one piece, and there are vegetarian meatball skewers, which are also two yuan each." Lin Momo lifted the lid on the basket while talking.
A scent of fried oil spread out in an instant.
At the same time, the girls also saw clearly the bean dregs cakes that Lin Momo sold: each bean dregs cake was packaged in a separate oil paper bag, neatly arranged in the basket, until half of the golden brownish-brown shaped cake was exposed. .
"This is…"
"The big one is in the shape of a kitten's face, the small one is in the shape of a small fish, and there are also meatballs. Although they look the same on the outside, you can find that they are all different colors when you bite open. The green ones are green vegetables. The orange-yellow one is carrot, the white-grey one is plain, and the pink one is fruity.”
As he said that, Lin Momo also took out a few bean dregs cakes for display to a few people.
"so cute."
"You can taste it before deciding whether you want to buy it or not." Lin Momo opened a small food basket on the side as he spoke, cut the food into small pieces and put toothpicks on it and handed them to several people.
Lin Momo's introduction stunned several girls, and also made the audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter:
[Sales genius. 】 Someone joked half-jokingly.
[But to be honest, it's a pity that Momo doesn't do sales. 】
[I was so moved by what she said, but unfortunately, I'm sure that the place where they recorded is not in my city. 】
[I also want to try. 】
[+1, and the price is really conscientious. 】
…
Here, the eyes of a few girls lit up after they tried the small samples that Lin Momo handed over.
"It feels pretty good."
"The taste is better than I expected, and it's quite special."
"It's delicious."
The homemade bean dregs cake was affirmed by several people, and a big smile appeared on Lin Momo's face.
Then, Lin Momo continued to introduce while the iron was hot: "This is a flavor that doesn't add anything. In addition, we also have tomato flavor, chili sauce flavor, five spice flavor, salt and pepper flavor, um..."
Lin Momo couldn't remember, she turned her head and looked at Lin Cheng as if asking for help.
Lin Cheng suppressed a smile and added: "Honey mustard sauce, plum powder."
"Oh yes," Lin Momo turned to look at the girls, and said, "There's also honey mustard and plum powder."
"Then I want a big salt and pepper flavor and a small tomato flavor."
"I want the original flavor of Maomao, the original flavor of Xiaoyu, and a bunch of vegetarian **** with four flavors mixed."
"In my case, I will..."
"Okay." Lin Cheng and Lin Momo filled the bean dregs cakes they wanted for a few people with unskilled movements.
Lin Momo quickly figured out how much each of them had to pay.
"You can pay in cash, or you can scan here." Lin Momo pointed to the QR code on the side of the basket and said to several people.
This week, the program team did not prepare work mobile phones for the two, so they could only borrow the QR code stickers from the next door to collect money.
"Okay." The girls paid the money and took the bean dregs cake from Lin Momo.
At this time, seeing that there seemed to be something for sale here, a new passerby came over.
"What is this for sale?"
"The bean dregs cake is quite delicious." said the few girls who hadn't gone far.
"Really, then give me some too."
…
With the first wave of customers, soon, Lin Momo's mobile stall ushered in the second and third waves of customers...
Lin Momo's business is getting better and better.
But today is not the weekend after all, and the pedestrian traffic on the pedestrian street is limited. In the afternoon, the pedestrian traffic on the pedestrian street gradually decreases, and the number of people buying roadside snacks gradually decreases.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo away.
On the way back, Lin Momo was still eating a bean dregs cake in his hand.
"The bean dregs cake we sell is really delicious." Lin Momo muttered while eating.
After that, Lin Momo stared at it again and began to calculate on his own.
One afternoon, most of the bean dregs cakes and vegetarian meatballs they made had been sold out.
"One, two, three... There are still 22 big cakes, 16 small cakes, and 8 skewers of meatballs left, 4 of which were eaten, 6 were used for testing, and 4 were given to the bakery Miss Sister, and the old lady in front of me... So today we sold a total of 31 small cakes, 36 large cakes, and 22 skewers of meatballs!"
"We earned a total of 147 yuan!" Lin Momo said excitedly.
"In this case, excluding the materials I already have and the things I need to buy every day, my total cost is..."
"Around 450." Before Lin Momo could figure out the total cost, Lin Cheng had already given her the answer.
Then, Lin Cheng said: "So if we sell out today's bean dregs cakes and sell a similar amount of bean dregs cakes tomorrow, we can recover all the costs."
"Is that so! Then by the end of this week, we can make a lot of money!" Thinking of this, Lin Momo had an expectant expression on his entire face.
Lin Cheng smiled, and did not refute Lin Momo's 'a lot of money'.
The two returned to their place of residence.
Today, the tofu business of Hu Mao's family next door seems to be very good. Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, all kinds of tofu at their tofu stall have been sold out early.
At this time, the husband and wife are cleaning the pots and pans.
After chatting with the two of them for a while, Lin Cheng left Lin Momo at home, while he went out again with the bean dregs cakes that were not sold out in the afternoon.
This time, Lin Cheng went to a street further away. There are schools and many companies, large and small, nearby.
At this time, it was time to leave work and school.
There are more and more people commuting to and from school on the street.
The bean dregs cakes and vegetarian meatballs that were left before were quickly sold out by Lin Cheng.
However, Lin Cheng did not return to his residence immediately, but went to the building materials market he had been to before.
At this time, some shops in the building materials market have been closed, and some shops are busy loading and unloading goods, and some shops are closed late. At this time, the boss is having dinner in the shop.
Lin Cheng came here at this time, making everyone in the live broadcast room a little confused:
【What is Lin Cheng doing here? 】
[Selling okara cakes? 】
[No, aren't the bean dregs cakes all sold out? 】
[Then what is he here for? 】
[Could it be shopping? 】
[The question is, what else can I buy for that broken shed? 】
…
Just when everyone was wondering, Lin Cheng walked straight to the area in the market where wallpaper and wall decoration paint were sold.
Because Lin Cheng paid special attention to this place when he came the day before yesterday, so he found it without taking a detour.
At this time, there are still several shops beside the passageway still open.
The walls of the store are covered with various wallpapers for display, and the table in the center of the store is also full of sample booklets.
At the same time, there were several cardboard boxes piled up on the side of the store entrance, which contained wallpaper, and a sign of "handling wallpaper" was written on the cardboard boxes.
"How do you sell the wallpaper here?" Lin Cheng asked the boss, pointing to the pile of processed wallpaper.
Most of these wallpapers are purchased in the same batch and the same style, because most of them are almost sold out, and only a few rolls are left, because the area is not enough and cannot be sold, so they are placed at the door for a special price.
Hearing someone asking the price, the boss came out of the store.
"It depends on what you want. The big one is 40 rolls, the medium one is 20 rolls, and the small one is 15 rolls. Don't look at it. These are all high-quality wallpapers from big brands, natural materials, and no harmful substances. Yes, if it wasn’t for the lack of leftovers, we wouldn’t offer a special offer, the price and the cost are not enough.”
After talking, the boss looked at Lin Cheng again and asked, "How big is your area? If you can post it, take it. It's a good deal."
"It's almost two meters by three meters."
"How high is the room?"
"About 3 meters."
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the boss nodded and whispered, "That's not too big."
"About 30 square meters, including the loss of flower cutting, you can buy 40 square meters. The small one here is 5.3, but I don't know if you can find 7 rolls. There should be medium-sized ones. 7 square meters per roll, you Take five or six volumes, and if you have a large size, your room is small and it will be embarrassing, so at least you have to take three volumes."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng calculated the budget and the remaining disposable money in his mind, and frowned slightly.
"Is there any more discount?" Lin Cheng asked.
"These are of good quality. They were originally sold at a loss. They are really not cheap. Otherwise, there are 10 yuan a roll over there. The quality is poor. The price is the same regardless of size. Take a look?" the boss pointed Said a box of dusty wallpaper next to it.
"To be good."
"This... is really not cheap."
The boss thought about it, and finally pointed to another box in the store and said to Lin Cheng: "If you want to buy a good one and want a cheap one, the only thing you can do is that pile of dismantled ones."
"These are leftovers after our masters come to help customers put up wallpapers. Some have half a roll left, and some have more than half a roll left. If you want me to give you a roll of 10 meters regardless of the size, it is 1 yuan per meter. , " After a pause, the boss continued: "I'm not lying to you, those are also good, but it's impossible to find the same flower stickers to fill the whole room according to the size of your room."
The boss originally said this to want Lin Cheng to give up, but he didn't expect Lin Cheng to actually walk towards the pile of boxes.
As the boss said, most of this pile of wallpaper is the leftovers from the previous customers who pasted the wallpaper in their homes. It is impossible to find more than two rolls of the same style among them.
But Lin Cheng still rummaged through it carefully.
Lin Cheng didn't deliberately look for ones with the same style and color, but found out ones with similar or similar colors and the same material.
In the end, Lin Cheng found 8 volumes of wallpaper in 6 styles.
Seeing that most of the wallpapers selected by Lin Cheng are in warm light colors and warm tones, and there is also a roll of cartoon style, the boss seems to have guessed something.
Looking at the basket that Lin Cheng put for sale outside the store, and then at the stack of change that Lin Cheng took out, the boss looked at him with a little more emotion in his eyes.
"Okay, I won't measure any more. The 3 rolls that haven't been dismantled here cost 10 yuan per roll, and the remaining ones don't count. I'll give you half rolls for 5 yuan."
"There is a whole box of wallpaper for the tools. You can take some leftovers. You can buy a bag of glutinous rice glue. There are still half a bag. You can take it back and soak it in hot water. It should be usable."
The boss told Lin Cheng some precautions for putting up wallpaper by himself. In the end, Lin Cheng was only charged 62 yuan for a bunch of things.
—
It was almost dark when Lin Cheng returned to their residence with his things.
At this time, Yang Fang seemed to be preparing the family's dinner, while Hu Mao was preparing the steamed buns to be sold at night, while Lin Momo and Hu Mao's two children were helping out.
Lin Momo followed Hu Mao's example of making steamed buns, learning very seriously.
At the beginning, Lin Momo didn't make the buns very well, but after trying a few times, Lin Momo was obviously much more proficient at making buns.
[Momo's way of making steamed buns is actually quite impressive. 】
[Compared to the episode of selling steamed buns, this technique has improved by leaps and bounds! 】
[Sure enough, it's different to have 'expert' guidance. 】
【Haha, I suspect that Momo came to steal a teacher to learn art under the banner of helping (dog head). 】
…
Seeing Lin Cheng coming back, Hu Mao greeted him warmly.
At this time, Yang Fang also came over with two plates of fried dishes.
The couple invited Lin Cheng: "Dinner is ready, I made some extra today, clean up and wash your hands, come over and have dinner with Momo."
Lin Cheng originally declined the other party's kindness, but Hu Mao said again: "There are many people with more chopsticks. It is rare to have time to cook dinner at this spot when the tofu is sold out earlier today. I don't usually have this opportunity."
"Yeah," Yang Fang also echoed, "It doesn't cost much money. I heard Momo tell her grandma's method of making bean dregs. I heard that a few dishes were not bad, so I tried to use leftovers. The bean dregs that come down have been made, but I don’t know how it tastes, so you don’t want to dislike it.”
The husband and wife were talking, and the fried meals had already been placed on the small table outside the house.
Lin Cheng and Lin Momo helped them find some stools and put them beside the table.
Several people sat around a small table.
There are four dishes and one soup on the table, and the content is quite simple: the leftover flour for making steamed buns is rolled into dough, and then dried in the air to make it semi-dry. When necessary, oil, water and seasoning are added. The sauce was copied into a dish, a dish of stewed tofu dregs was fried, a dish of cold tofu, a dish of fried vegetables, and a bowl of cabbage and bean sprout soup.
Although the meal was simple, they all ate deliciously.
Seeing the buns that Hu Mao and his wife had put on the steamer, Lin Cheng asked, "Are you planning to sell buns at night?"
"Yes," Hu Mao nodded, and said again: "Night markets are allowed on Pingning Lane at night, and the night market stalls for midnight snacks will be open until two or three o'clock in the morning. Let's make some steamed buns until eleven or twelve o'clock. If you take it and sell it, there should be some business."
After all, Hu Mao took a sip of the soup, and continued to explain to Lin Cheng: "Isn't the eldest of our family already 7 years old? This year, a new policy has been introduced, and children of migrant workers can also go to the nearest public school to enroll in line. .”
"Isn't school starting soon? I discussed it with the child's mother. I plan to work hard during this period, earn more money, and rent a regular house nearby. It will not affect the child's study and study. In addition, I will also earn some money for the child's education." Miscellaneous charges."
Originally, Hu Mao and his wife also thought that they could live their lives in the city as long as they could, save some money if they could, and just mess around like this, and send the children back to their hometown for the elderly to take care of if they can't.
However, the arrival of Lin Cheng's family changed their mentality to some extent, and they began to think about working hard to create better conditions for their children, so that they would not live their current life even if they could not become rich in the future.
…
After dinner, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo helped Hu Mao's family clean up the dishes.
Lin Momo pulled Lin Cheng up happily again: "Father, I'll take you somewhere."
