The effect of Hong Yanwu's trick is really good.

After gathering the six people, he inquired about the situation and found that it was exactly as he expected.

The four men and two women who recommended themselves were Zhu Zhenfan, Li Xiaodong, Zhang Shen, Huang Yong, Zhang Shuping and Wang Laizhen.

It is true that every family has its own difficulties, and they all come to cope with the actual financial difficulties.

Probably because of this, they are much softer in character than those who stay in the house.

Most people are a bit restrained in their speech and behavior, showing a bit of inferiority and lack of confidence.

But this makes it easier to manage.

It can be seen from the division of labor.

At first, Hong Yanwu wanted to respect their respective wishes.

Unexpectedly, when asked, almost everyone was afraid of being exposed and interacting with others, and expressed their desire to stay in the factory and make candied haws.

This can only be arranged rigidly.

In Hong Yanwu's opinion, the girl is tender, attentive and patient, so she is perfect for making candied haws.

Young men who are thick-skinned, strong, and relatively frost-resistant are more suitable to ride on a three-wheel to sell goods outside.

So he made the decision and asked the stronger ones Li Xiaodong, Zhang Shen and Huang Yong to run away.

Only Zhu Zhenfan, the youngest and weakest among the boys, was left to help the two girls learn how to make candied haws.

But I didn’t expect that arbitrariness is really more effective than democracy.

In fact, these people only need orders, not reasons.

Not to mention having any opinions, I actually obeyed without even asking a question.

And they followed the instructions and were obedient as usual.

Whether it's asking them to go to the production workshop to pick up materials according to the order and quantity, or teaching them how to core and bunch fruits.

They all followed it meticulously.

The attitude is very serious, no one is pretentious. I am a seller, I am a producer, I should do this, and I should not do that.

From this we can see that we have indeed chosen the right person this time.

The children of the poor have already become the masters of their families.

Real life has taught them that people must bow their heads before surviving reality.

Of course, since you are an inexperienced novice, a lot of discomfort is inevitable.

Li Xiaodong, for example, has a rough temper and is not careful enough in his work.

When he was removing the fruit, he accidentally made a deep cut with his hand.

There was a lot of bleeding, so I went to the infirmary to bandage the wound, but I was still sucking in pain.

As for the actual division of labor in the afternoon, the two girls who were learning production from Chen Liquan also encountered difficulties.

Because even though women are thoughtful enough, Hong Yanwu also specified the proportion and quantity of sugar and water, and also precise the cooking time of the fire.

All these allowed them to avoid detours and get started quickly with making sugar.

But when dipping candied haws on a stick, you still need a certain amount of courage.

But the two girls were timid, and they were afraid when the sugar boiled.

If you are afraid, your hands will shake. If your hands shake, the sugar will be dipped unevenly and may even splash onto your hands.

In the end, they had no choice but to let them continue practicing wearing gloves.

It was really embarrassing to see these two girls screaming and holding on bravely.

What's more, even the three young men who followed Hong Yanwu to the entrance of the Forbidden City to learn how to set up stalls and sell goods still felt uncomfortable before going into battle.

They are not afraid of the long journey or the cold. The key is that they have never sold anything, so no one can lose face.

In front of the tricycle filled with candied haws, they were looking around like thieves, for fear of meeting someone they knew.

Whoever's turn it is to try it, let alone shouting, customers will blush when they take the initiative to ask the price, and they can't say anything.

I am especially afraid of meeting foreigners, who immediately become confused as soon as they speak English.

It was so trembling that I couldn't even fart, and the whole three pieces of "chuwozi" was a piece of trash.

(Note: Chuwozi is a Beijing dialect. It refers to being afraid of meeting strangers, being shy when meeting strangers, and not good at dealing with people other than acquaintances. It also means being in a nest.)

In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Hong Yanwu solved the problem by going to a simple kiosk selling tourist supplies nearby and asking for the woolen hat that "Chop Knife" was carrying.

Sorry, this is a pullover hat that has just become popular this winter. When you put it on, your eyes are exposed and you can't see your face.

Doesn’t this make people unrecognizable?

In this way, these boys took turns wearing the hats to practice.

Only then did he reluctantly have the nerve to greet people.

However, it must be said that the suffering of poverty is not in vain, because the hard work does pay off.

Even though Sanshengguadanzi had the courage to imitate Hong Yanwu and sold it so stumblingly.

This afternoon, within three hours, the entire cart of candied haws made by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan yesterday was sold out.

There are a total of two hundred strings, which is really popular in the market.

What's even better is that their products are quite expensive.

Ordinary people sell candied haws for either 15 cents or 18 cents, not even 2 cents.

But they don't, they really dare to open their teeth.

They dare to sell the "mountain red" with seven fruits for three cents.

The stuffed "Toad Spitting Honey" sells for 40 cents, and the "Baobao Yams" with various nuts are the most expensive, selling for 50 cents.

This was definitely a sky-high price at the time.

If you were to ask ordinary people about their feelings, they would probably be similar to what Zhao Lirong said in the sketch "Working Adventures".

Black, so dark!

But he is so popular! Demand exceeds supply!

Why?

There are many reasons for this.

First, let’s talk about where the Forbidden City is?

It is an iconic tourist attraction in Beijing.

Almost all foreigners want to make a trip here whenever they come to the capital.

In addition, there are also tourists coming to Beijing from all over the country.

After these people paid their respects to Tiananmen Square, they had to come here.

You know, these two types of people actually have rich wallets and are greedy for novelty.

Moreover, information was limited back then and logistics was underdeveloped.

Southerners have never seen something like candied haws, a specialty of the north.

Isn’t it easy to take money out of their pockets?

Unfortunately, unlicensed traders are still unable to do business here.

As for state-owned units, they are unwilling to use this idea.

This also makes this place a commercial treasure land exclusive to Hong Yanwu and others.

There are fat sheep everywhere, with different levels of consumption and no competition.

So the price starts from the ground up, so of course it has to be sold more expensive.

Under such circumstances, would I be a fool if I had to take the path of small profits but quick turnover?

Secondly, the stuff is really good and can be considered genuine.

It’s not as unrealistic as Gong Hanlin’s Gong Palace Yuye Liquor, which sells 180 cups.

You must know that in this year, material control has just been opened, and the country's fingers are limited.

Changping, Huairou and Miyun are the places where hawthorn and mountain red are produced.

New and good fruits every year are still given priority to state-owned food factories.

Rock sugar is a material that is rigidly allocated by the state and purchased and sold by the state.

Therefore, for example, the common people can only rely on the remaining small fruits after selling them to food factories as raw materials for making candied haws, and they cannot find rock sugar.

This is inferior in terms of cost.

Calculate the cost based on the specific price at that time.
