Chapter Fifty Made a Profit

  Thank you for the gifts and rewards from Weisheng and Zongguan, and thank you for Ranying's repeated voting support. Thank you so much!

  As it approached noon, people began to walk by after work. Zhao Juan hurriedly increased the speed of making pancakes, and the aroma of egg cakes wafted further away.

  But people who got off work just curiously glanced over here, yet no one was willing to come forward and buy one; some turned their heads and left.

  Zhao Juan's sweat dripped even faster. What? Was she going to ruin the business on the first day?

  Song Jie saw it and reminded: "Mom, others sell things loudly, why don't you shout?"

  Zhao Juan and her mother were like waking up from a dream, so that's how it was. But wasn't it the case that when selling bean sprouts earlier, Zhao Juan had thin skin and didn't shout loudly, and this time she actually forgot.

  She bit her lip and couldn't shout out loud, and in her anxiety, the sweat on her face flowed more densely, like a small stream flowing.

  Seeing her daughter in trouble, Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth and went out. Her daughter was shy, but this old lady was not shy at all. She opened her mouth and shouted: "Everyone take a look! Freshly baked pancakes with meat and eggs, only one yuan each! Hot from the oven, just one can fill you up!"

  After listening to her mother's scolding, Zhao Juan also felt a bit ashamed and thought she should exercise too, how could she always hide behind others?

  "Look... " She didn't finish speaking and choked up, Song Jie watching from the side also felt anxious.

  Zhao Juan secretly encouraged herself, and finally gathered the courage: "Take a look, take a look, new freshly baked pancakes ah, come and buy quickly." After shouting out the first sentence, it became easier, and Zhao Juan's calls also became smoother.

  Song Jie let out a sigh of relief, rummaged around and found a white paper somewhere, on which was written in black ink: Jianbing (savory crêpe) with meat 15 cents, add egg 10 cents, various sauces available for your choice.

  This was written by Grandpa Song Jie, and his powerful calligraphy has raised the level of this stall by more than one grade.

  Put two advertisements on the front of the panel and press them forward, people can see them from a distance.

  Seeing the advertisement, people who heard the shouting and smelled the fragrance came over, and those who were originally curious about what was being sold quickly gathered around, asking in unison: "Auntie, how much is this selling for?"

  "Hot pancakes and fruit, with added meat and eggs, the prices are all written on the paper. There's chili sauce, sweet sauce, garlic sauce, you can have whatever you want. If you don't add anything, it's 1 mao 5 for two. If you want to add two eggs inside the pancake, it's 1 mao. They're all sandwiches, you can choose any filling you like."

  After listening to Zhao's mother's introduction, everyone became excited and some people who wanted to buy a steamed bun also stopped.

  "Give me a serving with egg," said a middle-aged man who spoke first.

  "Good!" Finally opened, Zhao's mother smiled like a flower on her face, quickly asking what dishes and sauces to want, picking up a peeled boiled egg with a knife and cutting it in half, rolling up a pancake in a few strokes, and packing it into a bag.

  Nowadays, the cake is not like the one in the past that cuts corners and reduces materials. The ingredients inside are all sufficient, and a big man can eat almost enough. The middle-aged man paid with satisfaction and walked away carrying his bag.

  The people behind saw it and they all took out money to buy, the business suddenly became popular, and the two working mothers were busy.

  。

  Song Jie is willing to help collect money and all that, but such an important thing can't be given to a little kid to hold onto, this has nothing to do with ability, it's just about age.

  She had no choice but to help pack bags on the side. When grandma was done, she would hand over the bag and save a lot of time.

  Zhao Tong has finished work and is worried about his mother and sister, so he comes over to help as soon as he finishes work.

  He came and was startled, how many people are there, he quickly drilled into the crowd to help Zhao's mother make pancakes. Some people thought he was cutting in line and even stared at him with their eyes.

  An hour's time actually passes very quickly, many people see too many people and don't want to line up, they all go elsewhere. Even so, the materials are still not enough, can only say sorry to everyone, tomorrow will prepare more. Everyone dispersed only then.

  Zhao Tong didn't have time to help with the housework, so he grabbed a pancake and ate it on the go as he headed off to work.

  The mother and daughter quickly gathered their belongings and pushed a small cart home. The weather was scorching, and they couldn't stay under the sun any longer.

  As soon as I got home, the first thing I did was grab a water scoop and drink a whole bunch of well water, and only after washing my face did everyone feel like they had come back to life.

  The car was left in the corner, and everyone didn't care about it anymore, and went straight into the house. As soon as they entered the house, the temperature dropped immediately, and a refreshing comfort struck their hearts.

  She sat down at the table, took out her purse and poured all the money onto the table, filling it with coins and banknotes.

  Zhao's father also sat over with great enthusiasm and counted together, dividing the same coins into a pile and then counting them together.

  Everyone counted the money in their hands several times and reported the numbers. Song Jie sighed that her father was indeed a knowledgeable person, and his calculations were accurate, not even a single mistake.

  Today, I sold more than 50 Jianbing, after deducting the cost, I can still save about 3 yuan. Don't underestimate this 3 yuan, at that time a worker's daily wage was only 60 yuan.

  Everyone was stunned, making 3 yuan in just over an hour, that's 90 yuan a month. Moreover, many people didn't buy any at noon, if they all sold out, it would be easy to make over a hundred yuan a month.

  Mrs. Zhao was somewhat incredulous and insisted that everyone recount again, but they were still short 2 cents, 3 yuan. The number of items everyone had counted was completely correct.

  "Mom, now both businesses are making money, and I'm earning even more from selling bean sprouts. Our slow but steady approach is pretty good too, we're earning more than Zhao Tong's iron rice bowl." Zhao Juan explained, worried that her parents would get too excited.

  "Yes, this business is indeed done well." Zhao's father also nodded in agreement.

  Zhao's mother was so excited that her hands were shaking. In the past, their family conditions were not good, and her son had entered the factory to work at a young age. Her granddaughter also looked at people with a slanted gaze. Now that they suddenly have money, she really doesn't know what to do.

  Zhao's mother carefully put away the money, waved her hand: "Alright, what do you want to eat at noon? I'll make it for you." The smile on her face never stopped, as if she had picked up a golden ingot.

  Zhao Juan and Zhao Fu quickly dissuaded her, saying that they would wait for Zhao Tong to come back tonight and cook something delicious together. Only then did Mother Zhao nod in agreement with some disappointment.

  In the afternoon, the mother and daughter went out to make a big purchase again. This time they had to prepare enough materials. Thinking that they could earn so much money in a month, they were full of energy from head to toe.
