174 She has an Idea
“I’m sure they did fine!” Aunt w.a.n.g said with a smile.
“Now, all the working farmers are willing to spend money. Besides, if you set it at a low price, everyone will definitely want to buy them. ”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?”
Aunt w.a.n.g’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
“Hehe, go ahead,” she said with a smile.
After working with Lin Xiaoyue today and seeing Lin Xiaoyue’s way of doing things, Aunt w.a.n.g was now very confident in Lin Xiaoyue.
“Just now, you said that everyone is willing to spend money during the busy farming season. I think there is also a market in other villages.”
Aunt w.a.n.g paused.
She didn’t understand what “market” meant in this context, but she understood what Lin Xiaoyue meant.
“Yes,” after some thought, Aunt w.a.n.g nodded.
“So, you want to go to other villages to sell the cold cakes?”
“No, I don’t have the time,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.
“However, if someone is willing to, I can supply the cold cakes.” As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Aunt w.a.n.g.
Aunt w.a.n.g looked like she understood.
“Yue’er…what do you mean by this?” Maybe she didn’t fully understand.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“I’ll be honest. I actually want to ask if Shuanzi i is willing to do this.”
Aunt w.a.n.g paused.
Lin Xiaoyue continued, “we have limited manpower, and Li Xiao is not familiar with the surrounding villages. I think Shuanzi is a good fit.”
“If he is willing to do this business, I can sell the cold cakes to him at the price of 3 wen per bowl.”
“He can sell them at market price and earn at least 1 wen from selling per bowl. If you sell 4 buckets a day, it’ll be more than 100 wen.”
Aunt w.a.n.g’s heart moved.
Shuanzi was now working at the dock with his father, but there was not always work. He could only earn 100 wen a day, which was about the same as selling 4 buckets of cold cakes.
She had personally witnessed how the business went today.
Many of those who came to buy the cold cakes bought a few bowls at a time.
If they went to the countryside, there would be a lot of families. They would definitely buy several bowls at a time.
In this way, it didn’t seem so difficult to sell 100 bowls of cold cakes.
If they were lucky and sold more, they could earn more than this.
Lin Xiaoyue saw that Aunt w.a.n.g was tempted. She smiled and continued, “if he agrees, he can pay me after he sells them. The wooden buckets will be provided.”
“Also, I think we can set up a stall to sell them at the dock.”
“If you agree, you can be in charge of that stall.”
“In that case, I’ll pay you according to the number of bowls you sell instead of a fixed pay of 80 wen. You’ll get 1 wen per bowl and you can sell as many as you want.”
Aunt w.a.n.g’s heart was surging with emotions.
1 wen per bowl? They had sold a total of 250 bowls of cold cakes today. And they were sold out in less than 2 hours.
There would be people at the dock all day long. If she worked for an entire day, she would be selling more than 100 bowls of cold cakes!
“If I’m at the dock, then you…”
