Chapter 211 Pricing

Blah blah blah~

The next day, the two woke up to the sound of flowing river water. The Donglai Inn was built on the bank of the Yongding River.

Last night, we fell asleep to the sound of rushing water. Not to mention that it really helps with sleeping as a white noise. We slept very well last night.

I woke up to the sound of running water again this morning, and I felt very relaxed.

Zheng Yuan went downstairs and called the waiter to bring up some hot water. After they washed up, they packed their things and checked out.

It was around seven o'clock now, the sky was already bright, and the streets were starting to become busy.

Although today is not a market day, Yongding County is different from Zhonghe Town.

If there is no market in Zhonghe Town, there won’t be many people on the street. But even if there is no market in Yongding County, there are still many people coming and going to do business.

The two went to the shop first. Aji had already gotten up and was doing the final check with three assistants.

Seeing Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin come in, several waiters greeted them and went back to their own business.

"Auntie, did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay, when did we decide to open the store?" Zheng Yuan asked.

"Our master said that the one who said Si time is the best."

It was not too early at the time of Si, as the children should have arrived by then, so it was just the right time.

"Then has Mr. Jiang told us how to price our toothbrushes and toothpaste?" Duan Minmin recalled that it seemed that none of them had ever discussed this important matter.

"Yes, I almost forgot." Aji slapped his head, "The master sent someone to deliver a letter back a while ago. I opened it yesterday and saw that it was talking about the pricing."

"The master said that he had done a preliminary calculation of the costs and thought that it would be more appropriate to set the price of a toothbrush at five cents and a can of toothpaste at fifteen cents. But the master also said that if you feel that the prices here in Kunzhou Prefecture are not appropriate, you can adjust them yourself. He respects your opinions."

The price set by Jiang Dayou was actually similar to what the two had expected.

The labor and material costs of a toothbrush will not exceed one and a half cents at most.

Toothpaste is indeed more laborious, and it uses more materials, plus there is the jar. Although the two did not know how much Jiang Dayou spent on the jar, it was probably not cheap. Even if it was five cents a jar, the cost would be about eight or nine cents a jar.

Considering the initial cost of opening trade routes and shops, as well as labor and transportation costs, the pricing of five and fifteen cents is not excessive.

"We have no objection, so let's stick with the price. Don't bother cleaning up, you won't be able to make any flowers. Put your things down, and let's go have breakfast."

It's still early, I need to go eat something to fill my stomach, otherwise I won't know how long it will take to get busy.

"Manager Duan, you guys go ahead. We have already eaten at home." Xiao Fang smiled innocently.

"Have they really eaten?" Duan Minmin was a little unconvinced. Could it be that these children were too embarrassed to follow her?

"I have indeed eaten!" Xiao Liu assured firmly, "We all had breakfast early before coming here. Manager, you see, I still have half a piece of the pancake my mother gave me."

Acheng also nodded, indicating that he had eaten too.

Since they had already eaten, the two of them didn't force it anymore and took Aji to find a breakfast shop.

Today is not a market day, and there are obviously fewer breakfast stalls on the street than before. Fortunately, the restaurant they used to eat at is still open.

The boss greeted them warmly when he saw them: "Hey, two girls, today is not a market day, why are you here?"

Zheng Yuan pulled out a stool and sat down: "I came here to do some business. Today is the opening day, so I came here."

"So that's how it is. What would you like to eat today?"

The three of them ordered a bowl of noodles each, and the boss turned around and walked to the stove to start working.

"If you ask me, you should have come to the street to do business a long time ago. You don't know that on the days when you are not here for the market, many people come to me and ask why your ice jelly stall is not open yet. Those people will be blessed if you come here to do business now, and your business will not be bad either." The boss turned around and chatted with the three people while he was busy.

The boss thought that the business they were talking about was coming to town to sell ice jelly.

"Brother, we are not here to do ice jelly business, we are here to sell toothbrushes and toothpaste." Duan Minmin explained.

By the way, you can also promote it, just in case you get another potential customer.

"Toothbrushes and toothpaste?" The boss stopped what he was doing and asked, "Are you the ones who run the toothbrush and toothpaste business that everyone in the city is talking about recently?"

The boss stood there with the colander in his hand, looking at the two of them in shock.

"That's right. It's not our own business. We are cooperating with Jiang Ji. This is the manager of Jiang Ji." Duan Minmin introduced Aji.

Aji nodded to the boss.

The boss looked at Aji, then at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "You are really capable. The ice jelly business is so hot, and you are cooperating with Jiang Ji again. It's really amazing."

"No, no, we're just trying to make a living. Brother, our shop is right next to the grocery store in front. It has Jiang's printed on it. If you need anything, you can go and have a look." Zheng Yuan took the opportunity to promote it.

"Okay, okay~" The boss nodded repeatedly and chatted with the two of them for a while.

The boss was so busy talking to the two people that he completely forgot about the noodles in the pot. It was only when the proprietress pulled him that he realized what was going on.

Fortunately, the noodles were not cooked too soft, just right.

After eating and paying, the three said goodbye to the boss and returned to the store.

Acheng and Xiaoliu are hanging firecrackers.

Aji had prepared the firecrackers a long time ago. Looking at the long string, it was estimated that there should be several thousand of them.

Xiao Fang also brought a dozen people with him and told them what to do next.

I guess this is what they mean by the people who create false prosperity.

The two of them were worried and walked up to give some instructions. This was also a critical step. If the splits were done wrong or something was exposed, it would be embarrassing.

As we were talking, we heard children shouting from a distance.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"Brother Aji!"

......

In the morning light, several children carrying things ran quickly towards this side from the other side of the street.

Seeing the children, the two men asked the waiters to disperse and come back when the shop opened, otherwise it would be bad if they were seen.

"Mom, is this our store? It's so big!"

Putting down the bucket in his hand, Erhe couldn't wait to start walking around the store, looking and sighing, with excitement that could not be concealed in his eyes.

The other children also looked excited. Two months ago, they couldn’t even get enough food to eat, but now they can open a shop with Jiang Ji.

"Yes, this is our store. How is it? Does it look nice?"

"It looks great! It looks great!"

The children walked around from inside to outside, and they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

"Okay, stop looking for now. Dashu, take your brothers and sisters to have breakfast first."

"Mom, we don't want to eat. Let's eat at noon." Erhe couldn't move at all.

The other children nodded and said they were not hungry.

How could Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin not know what they were thinking? Children are all like this, afraid of missing out on any fun.

"You can't not eat. You guys will have to help later. What if there are too many people and you can't eat lunch? What if you faint from hunger?"

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin worked together to force the children out.

"Mom! Auntie! Don't push! Don't push! How about Erhe and I go buy some buns and then we can just eat them." Dashu quickly turned around and suggested.

"Yes! Let's just eat some buns!" Sizhu was the first to agree.

Naturally, the other children had no objections.

"Okay, then go buy some. Buy more. If not, buy some steamed buns. If you're too busy at noon, you can have a bite to fill your stomach." Zheng Yuan took out some money and handed it to the two boys.

Dashu and Erhe took the money and ran away quickly, fearing that the business would open soon.
