Chapter 37 Looking for customers
"Tofu, tofu, come and see, fresh and delicious tofu, and delicious tofu~"
In the bustling and noisy market, a child's clean and clear milk voice stood out.
Attracted many people to look towards her, and some people came to their booth.
Seeing that it was really effective, Sun Daqing, Sun Daxiang and Sun Daji also joined in one after another.
The four children were like a competition, each yelling louder than the other.
They couldn't shout themselves, so they had to drag Sun Youcai to shout together.
Although Sun Youcai was arguing to come out to do business, he followed his eldest brother to collect herbs a few times.
I haven't done any other business at all, so for the first time, I couldn't open my mouth or move my legs.
Zhao Zhitong pulled Sun Youcai, and said in a childlike voice: "Little uncle, do you still want to make money? Grandpa Bai has already said that smart traders are good at selling their own products."
In this case, he didn't wonder who Grandpa Bai was, so he straightened his neck, closed his eyes, and yelled, "Tofu!"
"Hahaha." Zhao Zhitong burst into joy in an instant, made trumpet-shaped hands with his mouth, and yelled loudly: "Tofu! Fresh and delicious tofu~"
Once he opened his mouth for the first time, it was not difficult to open his mouth again. Gradually, Sun Youcai lost that sense of shame, and changed his tricks, yelling in various jingles.
At this time, someone was curious about what they were yelling, and asked, "What are you yelling about?"
Seeing that someone came to ask her, Zhao Zhitong became excited instantly. He ran forward and said sweetly, "Ma'am, our family sells tofu and tofu pudding~, they are delicious."
The old lady who was called aunt became happy: "I am over 60 years old, and I am the same age as your grandma. This girl still calls me aunt."
Zhao Zhitong's eyes curled up: "Wow, really? But the aunt is not old at all."
The old lady who said this smiled cheerfully: "Then let me see, what new gadgets are you selling?"
Said and went to the booth.
Zhao Dong had just mixed the bean curd, and when the old lady came to ask, he introduced it enthusiastically: "This is tofu, which is soft and delicious. You can take it home for frying, stewing, or making soup. It only costs three pennies for this big piece. This is Beancurd, mixed with secret sauce, sour and delicious, one penny and one bowl, you can eat here or take it home.”
As he said that, he took out the lotus leaf that had been cut into small pieces when he was at home, dug out a small spoonful of the prepared bean curd with a spoon, put it on the lotus leaf, and handed it to the old lady: "Eat fresh, taste it for free, you taste it." Taste it, it’s not tasty, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it.”
The old lady took the lotus leaf and poured the bean curd into her mouth. Immediately, her eyes lit up. It was really soft and delicious, very suitable for an old man like her with bad teeth.
So, I readily ordered a bowl of tofu curd and a piece of tofu.
Zhao Dong smiled all over his face: "Alright, wait a moment."
Turning around to cut the tofu, Sun Youcai over there also helped wrap the tofu.
Zhao Dong handed the packaged tofu and bean curd to the old lady, and said with a smile, "As our first customer today, I gave you an extra half bowl of bean curd. Come back again after you have eaten it."
When she heard that she was given half a bowl of bean curd, the old lady burst into laughter instantly, and even praised the boss for being able to do business: "Okay, okay, I wish the boss a prosperous business!"
"With your good words, you go slowly and come back after eating."
When someone starts, there will be a second, a third, a fourth, and people will be curious about new things.
In addition, Zhao Dong allowed customers to try food for free, so, one after another, the booth was full of people.
In less than an hour, fifty catties of tofu and two barrels of tofu were all gone.
Not far away, Zhao Butcher was stunned by their speed: "Zhao Dong, you sell very fast, and the business is good."
Zhao Dong was packing up his things, then smiled and said, "Everyone is trying to figure something new, is your business doing well?"
Butcher Zhao waved the sunflower fan in his hand to drive away the mosquitoes, and said with a smile, "It's okay, that's it."
At this time, Zhao Dong remembered the problem of the smell of pork that Sun Mei had mentioned to him last night, and while chatting, he asked Butcher Zhao about it.
Soon, after finishing packing up, they told Butcher Zhao, and they went to find the second uncle and second aunt.
The stall of the second uncle and the others is at the end of the North Street of the market.
When they rushed over, they saw a lot of people around their booth.
Zhao Dong parked the car beside him, and stepped forward to help.
The second uncle and the others found this location at the end of the bazaar, where there was not much traffic, so the business was not good in the early stage. Later, Zhao Dong's side became popular, and after this person passed on, his side got better.
Therefore, when the meeting was about to end, there were still two catties of tofu and five bowls of bean curd left unsold.
The second uncle covered the tofu and bean curd buckets to prevent mosquitoes from flying up. He looked at the market with fewer and fewer people and said, "It seems that they can't be sold out."
Zhao Dong nodded: "Wait and see, if it doesn't work, take it back, anyway, there's not much left."
Zhao Zhitong stood in front of the booth and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, he suddenly grabbed a few cousins and uncles and said, "Let's go find the guests."
Several people were puzzled: "Looking for a guest?"
Zhao Zhitong nodded: "That's right, since the guests don't come, then we'll go find them."
After speaking, he yelled and began to look for customers on the street with his short legs.
Sun Daji, Sun Daqing and Sun Daxiang were headed by Zhao Zhitong. Seeing that the little cousins ran out, they also followed them with shouts.
"Tongtong, don't run around! Second brother, brother-in-law, I'll go and watch them." Seeing that the little guys were about to run away, Sun Youcai yelled and chased after them.
Zhao Zhitong is chubby now, with a fair face and a sweet mouth. Passers-by were stopped by such a cute little girl with a bright smile, even if they didn't buy it, they couldn't hate it.
A woman saw the girl's enthusiasm, so she asked a few more questions.
Zhao Zhitong pointed in the direction of their booth: "My booth is right there, I'll take you there."
After speaking, he enthusiastically led the woman to their booth, not forgetting to "sell and boast" while walking: "My mother made the sauce for my tofu curd, it's delicious..."
…
The guest brought by Zhao Zhitong, after tasting the bean curd, immediately left all the bean curd.
Zhao Dong immediately cut half a piece of tofu and wrapped it in a lotus leaf and gave it to the guest: "The last one is left, I will send you a piece of tofu to go back and try it, if it is delicious, come back again."
"sure."
The man left with a smile on his face.
In the end, there was still a piece and a half of tofu left unsold. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the market, they were also preparing to close the stall.
