Chapter 5 Huge Profits (Part 2)

Modern people basically know this saying: eat well for breakfast, eat full for lunch, and eat less for dinner!

However, there are not many people who really follow this standard, and most Chinese people attach more importance to dinner.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Let’s talk about urban people first. Because they are busy with work and fast pace of life, they basically deal with breakfast and lunch. They only have free time to buy vegetables and cook at night.

Therefore, paying attention to dinner is a common phenomenon among urban people.

Besides, rural people, breakfast and lunch are very simple. For example, in Liuxiahui's hometown, most families cook a large pot of white porridge and then serve pickles or vegetables, even breakfast and lunch.

Dinner is different, that is, even if the family saves, this meal will pay more attention to in the evening than breakfast and lunch.

Why is this phenomenon happening? Liu Xiahui is too lazy to bother to study it. Anyway, most families in their village have this kind of living habit.

Although the breakfast, lunch and dinner in the county are somewhat different from those in the countryside, the emphasis on dinner is basically the same.

Based on this common sense, the afternoon business is definitely better than the morning.

So when Liu Xiahui set up a stall in the afternoon, she slaughtered all the seven chickens left in the chicken cage.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Liu brothers set up their stall on time.

At this time, the sun was actually quite sunny, but at this time, the main streets such as Gouer Lane and Xinglong Road in the county town were covered by the sun, and only some flowers of sunlight fell from the gaps between the leaves.

Such a scene will never be seen in later generations.

Many huge scenic trees were cut down with the reconstruction of the city.

The siblings pushed the cart stall to the bottom of the big tree in the morning, and then Liu Xiahui skillfully arranged ingredients such as garlic, peanuts, chopped green onion, coriander, etc., waiting for the business to come.

Because we came early, the business was not very good. It was not until around five o'clock that a chicken was sold.

However, with the morning record, the siblings were not panicked.

The peak traffic in the Dongcheng market is usually from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Therefore, after five o'clock, the flow of people in the vegetable market gradually reached its peak.

The increasing flow of people in the market has also greatly driven Liu Xiahui's business.

...

"Boss, I want the upper half, don't have the legs!"

"Okay, wait a moment, it's all right away!"

...

"Little boss, I don't want chicken. I just want to buy these chicken feet, chicken intestines, and chicken kidneys to go back to drink. Can you sell these to me separately?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"That's great, then you sell it all to me!"

"Okay, wait!"

...

"Boss, is your white-cut chicken really as delicious as you said?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can buy some and try it. The taste will never disappoint you. I want to do repeat business and I can't make a fake in this regard!"

"Then try it. I want this little half and help me cut a little bit, thank you!"

"Okay, wait!"

...

People have a herd mentality. When people go out for dinner, they always look at which store they are queued up and they like to go to which store.

They all have a common mindset and think that the store with such a high popularity will definitely not be much worse!

Just like reading, when looking for books, many readers like to look for them from various rankings, and think that the quality of books that rank high on the list will definitely be good.

Although Liu Xiahui has no business talent, he still has no shortage of cleverness. When customers come to his house, his working speed changes with the number of customers.

When there are fewer people, he will slow down his speed quietly and delay the time as long as possible so that there will be no one in front of his stall.

When there are many people, his work speed will be faster, ensuring that customers will not be impatient for waiting.

The advantage of doing this is that he keeps at least two or three customers in front of his stall at all times, which greatly enhances his attractiveness to other customers.

Under Liu Xiahui's business strategy, the seven white-cut chickens were sold out at around 6:30, which made Liu Xiaxue, who had been helping to pack and collect money, smile so happily!

Back at the rental house, the siblings couldn't wait to count the harvest.

"The seven chickens were calculated at 6.8 yuan per catty before they were slaughtered, and the cost was 247.52 yuan."

Liu Xiahui took the calculator and started calculating.

"After slaughtering and cutting chickens, only 23.92 kilograms were left, and a total of 430.56 yuan was sold."

Liu Xiaxue took paper and pen to help record.

"430.56 yuan - 247.52 yuan = 182.68 yuan."

"Excluding other costs, I made a total of about 175 yuan in the afternoon!"

This result made Liu Xiahui very satisfied.

Liu Xiaxue said excitedly: "Brother, I made 277 yuan this day. The business is so good. Don't you really plan to tell your parents?"

Liu Xiahui shook her head and said, "Sister, you can't let this matter go wrong. You must keep it confidential. After I have accumulated enough capital after I have accumulated enough money!"

Although he told his parents about the huge profits of the Baike Chicken business, he dropped out of school and cheated on tuition fees to do business, his parents would definitely not pursue the matter of his work.

But Liu Xiahui also had his considerations. With his understanding of his parents, once he really told them everything, his parents would likely come up to take over his slaughter.

This is not the parents' desire for their son's business.

But in the eyes of his parents, Liu Xiahui was just a 16-year-old boy, and he had great luck in creating this lucrative white-cut chicken business.

They must be worried that Liu Xiahui will continue to take charge of this business. They will probably close the small restaurant in the township that is not very profitable, and then happily come up to take over his son's business, and be famous for it - help!

If only my mother comes to help alone, that would be a good thing, but if he is afraid that his unreliable father will follow him, it would not be what Liu Xiahui would like to see.

Liu Xiaxue didn't know his brother's concerns. Seeing that he insisted, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then of course I will keep it a secret for you!"

Next, Liu Xiahui fryed a few poached eggs, then stir-fry a water spinach, and simply settled the dinner with her sister with the remaining pieces of chicken at noon.

After his sister cleaned the dishes, Liu Xiahui stood up and said, "Sister, let's go, I'll take you back to school!"

Liu Xiaxue couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just a little road, I want you to send it. I'll just walk back by myself!"

Liu Xiahui shook her head and said, "It would be better for me to send you back. The security here in the county is not very good. It is not safe for you, a girl, to walk at night!"

This is not a nonsense. The social security in 2000 is really incomparable to ten or twenty years later. During this period, robbery cases occurred frequently across the country. Baizhou County, as one of the "major gun-holding counties" in China, was really very chaotic in this era.

Let’s not talk about the distance for now. In April last year, a case that shocked the whole province occurred in a township under Baizhou County. I won’t talk much about the specific case. Anyway, it’s comparable to the police and gangster films on TV.

Therefore, even though the rental house is only separated from my sister's school, Liu Xiahui was not relieved to let her sister walk back alone.

After all, his sister is not a girl with ordinary appearance, but a beauty with very high looks.

When Liu Xiahui said this, Liu Xiaxue felt sweet. She felt that her younger brother suddenly became much more sensible and knew that she cared about her sister!

He sent his sister back to school safely, and Liu Xiahui, who returned to the rental house, took a shower and went to bed.
