Chapter 269 This money is too easy to make!

"You mean, you brought some honey lemon tea and wanted me to give it to the people in the street office to try?"

After hearing what Li Guoqiang said, Wu Cai'e couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, and then said seriously: "These honey lemon teas are all given to the people in the street office for free. When the time comes, all you need is to tell them where our store is!"

"Row!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang didn't seem to be joking, Wu Cai'e hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Then give the things to me, and I'll find time to help you distribute them."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he quickly smiled.

"Harmful!"

Wu Cai'e rolled her eyes, then said unhappily, "Why are you being so polite to me?"

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly continued, "By the way, remember to hurry up and do what your uncle told you last time, and don't make your uncle wait anxiously."

"to make!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and agreed, "I'll hurry up and try to deliver the things to you tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Wu Cai'e felt relieved, then nodded and said, "Come over and tell me when the time comes, and I'll take you back home."

"Got it!"

As soon as Li Guoqiang heard it, he knew that Wu Cai'e did this to avoid suspicion, so he did not raise any objections and immediately nodded and agreed very readily.

Afterwards, he told Wu Cai'e that the shop's sign name was Xiangmizhai, and then handed the two buckets of honey lemon tea to Wu Cai'e before turning around and leaving.

When Wu Cai'e saw Li Guoqiang leaving, she couldn't help but open the lid of the wooden barrel out of curiosity, and scooped some honey lemon tea from the barrel and tasted it carefully.

This taste was amazing. She instantly fell in love with the sour and sweet taste with the aroma of lemon and tea.

At the same time, this once again made her marvel at Li Guoqiang's ability.

She didn't expect that Li Guoqiang could come up with such a trick even when selling honey. He was worthy of being the child of her favorite senior sister.

Then, she proudly called a few people to help, and delivered the honey lemon tea in the two large wooden barrels to the leaders of the street office first, and then distributed it to the people in various departments below.

At the same time, she did not forget to tell people that these were products that her eldest nephew Li Guoqiang, who opened Xiangmi Zhai on behalf of the production brigade, was going to sell, and she also directly asked everyone to support them in the future.

When everyone heard Wu Cai'e's words, they sneered at first, thinking that Wu Cai'e was bragging about herself. However, when they tasted the unique flavor of honey lemon tea, they were all fascinated.

You have to know that these days, apart from Arctic Ocean soda, some traditional drinks like sour plum soup and bitter herbal tea, there are not many drinks on the market at all.

Now, I suddenly discovered that there is a drink that is sour and sweet, with the aroma of lemon and tea, and leaves a long aftertaste. It is like discovering a new world.

Among them, the young girls and wives were particularly conquered by the honey lemon tea, and then hurriedly asked Wu Cai'e about the address of Xiangmi Zhai and the price of the honey lemon tea.

In response to this, Wu Cai'e naturally answered every question and soon everyone in the street office knew the address of Xiangmizhai.

Then, as the people in the street office kept discussing the taste of honey lemon tea, the name Xiangmi Zhai soon spread throughout the street.

Around 4 p.m., Pan Qiaoyan, Shen Fengxia and Shang Xiuzhen sat in the shop bored. Looking at the empty scene in front of the door, they couldn't help but wonder if Li Guoqiang was deceiving them.

Just when they thought that this day would be like the previous few days and they would not be able to open the store, two young girls suddenly came running in from outside the door, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked how much the honey lemon tea was.
When they heard the question, they were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and went to greet him.

"Hello, our store offers hand-made honey lemon tea, 5 cents a bowl, how many bowls would you like?"

"That"

The two girls hesitated for a moment after hearing the price, then replied softly, "Then give us two bowls first."

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Qiaoyan hurriedly agreed, then ran to the backyard corridor, scooped out two bowls of honey lemon tea with lemon slices from a large jar, and served them to the people.

The two girls looked at the brown-red tea in front of them and the lemon slices floating in the tea, and couldn't help but show a look of curiosity on their faces.

[Is this the delicious honey lemon tea they talked about? ]

Thinking of this, they all reached out their hands to pick up the tea bowls, put them to their lips and took a sip, and then they were immediately fascinated by the sour and sweet taste, the refreshing lemon aroma and the faint tea fragrance.

Just like that, one sip after another, in a short while, they had drunk the whole bowl of tea, and then showed a look of being unsatisfied.

Immediately afterwards, before they could make up their minds to order another bowl, many people came running in from outside the door one after another. Most of them were young girls like them, and some were women and children.

Seeing this, Pan Qiaoyan and others hurried forward and greeted them enthusiastically.

After learning that a bowl of honey lemon tea cost 5 cents, many people ordered a bowl on the spot to try it, while some people thought it was too expensive and were not willing to spend so much money to buy it.

Soon, the only six tables in the store were filled. There were porcelain bowls on each table, and the only thing missing was some snacks or something.

Pan Qiaoyan looked at the lively scene in the store and couldn't help but said excitedly: "I knew Qiangzi would be able to do it."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fengxia snorted and said unhappily, "I don't know who was the one who kept nagging Qiangzi about what to do if he couldn't sell the honey?"

"Forehead"

When Pan Qiaoyan heard Shen Fengxia say this, she couldn't help but say in a somewhat awkward tone, "Then I'm worried!"

"okay!"

Shang Xiuzhen saw that Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan were showing signs of internal strife, so she quickly waved her hands and said, "If you have anything to say, wait until you get home. Now, cheer up and entertain the guests.

If you make any trouble, just wait and see how Qiangzi will deal with you!"

Hearing this, Shen Fengxia and Pan Qiaoyan immediately shut their mouths and hurried forward to continue working.

During the period, while greeting the guests, they also did not forget to recommend the honey on the shelves to the guests.

Although the profit from directly selling honey is not as great as that from selling honey lemon tea, if customers buy the honey, they will keep the name of Xiangmi Zhai on their lips for a long time, which is very beneficial to brand building.

In addition, Li Guoqiang doesn't have much of anything now, but honey is the most.

If we only rely on selling honey lemon tea, how long will it take to sell it?
Therefore, the best way is to sell honey lemon tea and honey at the same time, and try to catch all potential customers. In this way, it only takes half a year to gain a firm foothold in Dongcheng District, and then slowly plan the market of the entire Sijiu City.

As time passed bit by bit, soon a hint of sunset glow appeared on the horizon.

Pan Qiaoyan and others originally thought that there would be fewer customers after get off work, but they did not expect that there would be more and more customers. Some customers even stood in the store with bowls in hand to drink the honey lemon tea as soon as possible without waiting for a seat to appear.

Seeing this situation, Pan Qiaoyan and others were surprised and happy, and then they couldn't help but sigh that there were so many rich people in this city.

In fact, the price of 5 cents for this bowl seems a bit expensive, almost as much as a pound of meat, but for many factory workers, they are still very willing to spend some money to try something new.

Otherwise, I won’t know how to brag to others in the future.

Therefore, anyone who has some money in his pocket will not want to be inferior to others.

In this way, Pan Qiaoyan and others were busy until it got dark outside, and only then did they have some free time.

Then comes the most exciting moment, counting money.

After they counted again and again, they finally found that they had sold 178 yuan in just over two hours. Among them, 196 bowls of honey lemon tea were sold, totaling 98 yuan, and 1 bottles of honey at a unit price of 8 yuan per pound were sold, totaling 10 yuan.

According to this situation, wouldn't it cost several hundred dollars a day?
Thinking of this, their hearts were filled with shock.

Immediately afterwards, before they could react, Li Guoqiang walked in from outside the store carrying two large sacks.

Upon seeing this, Pan Qiaoyan and others hurried forward and told Li Guoqiang about the previous business success, regardless of whether he could hear clearly or not.

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "Stop for a moment and talk slowly."

Hearing this, Pan Qiaoyan and others hurriedly stopped, then looked at each other, and finally Shang Xiuzhen, the acting shopkeeper, reported the situation to Li Guoqiang.

"very good!"

After listening to it, Li Guoqiang immediately nodded and praised: "Now we have made a good start, and we need to work harder to consolidate the business results.

When the day comes when we can spread the name of our Xiangmi Zhai throughout the entire city, it will be considered a small achievement."

"Forehead"

When Pan Qiaoyan and others heard Li Guoqiang's bold words, they were speechless for a moment.

After all, in their opinion, if the name of Xiangmi Zhai could really be spread throughout the entire city, it would be an extremely remarkable thing.

But in Li Guoqiang's eyes, that was just a small achievement?
So, what is the situation of Dacheng?
Do we have to spread the name of Xiangmi Zhai throughout the country?

Little did he know that this was exactly what Li Guoqiang was thinking.

In fact, in his opinion, spreading across the country is far from enough. If possible, he also wants to spread the name of Xiangmizhai throughout the world and become the world's largest and most famous honey brand.

However, it is a bit too early to say this now, as there are still seven or eight years before the reform and opening up!

It is more important to do the things at hand well now.

Soon, Li Guoqiang opened the two sacks and took out the prepared bamboo tubes and bundles of reed straws.

Looking at these things, Pan Qiaoyan and others couldn't help but widen their eyes for a moment, and then quickly figured out their uses.

"Qiangzi, you are so smart! We were just about to tell you to buy more bowls, but you brought back these bamboo tubes and reed straws.

This way, we can let customers take it and drink it as they go."

"clever!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately praised and asked Pan Qiaoyan and others to take the bamboo tubes to the backyard to dry in the sun.

Because fresh bamboo has a strong green flavor, the bamboo tube must be dried in the sun to avoid destroying the flavor of the honey lemon tea.

In addition, the same principle applies to reed straws.

By the way, if it weren't for the help of Jin Die and Xiao Tian Di, he probably wouldn't have been able to make so many bamboo tube jars and reed straws in such a short time.

In addition to these two sacks, there are twenty sacks of sacks rewarded by Jin Dad in the storage space, which are enough for the store to use for a while.

By the time Pan Qiaoyan and others finished their work, it was completely dark outside.

Just when Li Guoqiang was about to take Pan Qiaoyan and others back to the courtyard, Luo Huijuan ran in hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Why are you here?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"without!"

Luo Huijuan was slightly relieved to see that Li Guoqiang was fine, then shook her head and said, "I saw that it was already dark and you guys hadn't come back yet. I was a little worried that something might have happened, so I came to check on you."

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang felt warm at heart when he heard this, then he laughed and said, "You are right, something did happen in our store, but it's all good."

As he spoke, he pulled Luo Huijuan directly into the counter and took out a small stack of Mao bills and a dozen Yuan bills from the drawer.

"This"

Luo Huijuan took one look and immediately understood something. She then asked in surprise, "Is this all what you earned today?"

"That's right!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Luo Huijuan's slightly widened eyes, nodded and said, "This is all what we just earned today, and guess how much honey we used in total?"

"How many?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Huijuan immediately asked in a very cooperative manner.

“Just over 20 pounds!”

Li Guoqiang held up two fingers and said with some pride: "To earn this much money, I only used a little over 20 kilograms of honey. On average, I sold one kilogram of honey for about 9 yuan, which is about 3 yuan higher than the price at the purchasing station."

"This"

Luo Huijuan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock: "This money is too easy to make!"
