Chapter 38 - 038 (second update, first)
After Chen Yuan and Liu Chuan finalized the specific matter, the matter was settled.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Shen Mingyuan went to set up a stall under the sun every day, and one day he almost got heatstroke, but Shen Huai even brought a car and brought him back.
These days, Chen Yuan was busy drawing at home and didn’t pay attention to Shen Mingyuan’s life. In fact, he made a lot more money now than before. He should relax in his days, rest when he should rest, and not be as nervous as before.
But Shen Mingyuan knows too much what it’s like to be poor. After being poor for more than 20 years, the days of being looked down on by others are almost tormenting people crazy. Now, he doesn’t want to go back to the kind of life he used to live. It’s all hard money, and you have to work more while you’re young. If you don’t work now, what will you do when you’re old?
With this idea in mind, Shen Mingyuan sells melon seeds every day, with almost no time to rest. Sometimes Shen Huai secretly goes to see what he makes for himself. The most often eaten are steamed buns and pickles. Occasionally, he buys some steamed buns and lunches. It’s a few that say it’s so convenient and cheap.
He could only ask him to come to Shen’s house to eat once a week, so that he would not suffer from malnutrition.
In summer, the weather is hot, the sun outside is already very poisonous, and business in the morning is not particularly good. Both Shen Huai and Chen Yuan suggested that he should not be allowed to spread out during the day.
But since Shen Mingyuan lost his furniture business, he has become very concerned about the stall business, and he doesn’t want to miss any stall setting time at all.
When this silly child was carried back by his brother, he was soaked with cold sweat, and if it was a little later, he would have to faint.
Chen Yuan took first aid measures for him, and it was difficult for the person to recover. It would be impossible to watch Shen Mingyuan continue like this, but this child is stubborn, and there is no way to stop him from setting up a stall to make money, and it is impossible to watch him during the day. Not letting him out is definitely not the way to go.
So let Shen Huai buy him a big umbrella and put it up when he goes out to set up a stall, so that he can’t get sunburned?
Using an umbrella can solve some of the problems, but the weather is still very hot. Chen Yuan thought of setting up a stall to sell cold drinks. Shen Mingyuan, who has such a strong endurance, can’t stand the hot weather, and ordinary people may feel even hotter.
As soon as it is hot, you want to eat it cold, so cold drinks are definitely the best choice.
But there are also several types of cold drinks. It is also important to choose which cold drinks to choose. First, two conditions are met: one is good taste, the other is very cheap, and the third is easy to make and low cost.
Besides, this secret recipe is to be used by Shen Mingyuan. If it is too complicated, it will take up his time to fry melon seeds.
Finally, there are two choices, one is orange popsicles, and the other is orange ice water.
Orange popsicles need abrasives to make, and there are already many people selling popsicles. Now you can see middle-aged men pushing bicycles everywhere on the street. There is a thick cold drink box on the back seat, because popsicles are very It’s common, so Chen Yuan thinks orange-flavored ice water is the best choice.
Moreover, ice water does not need abrasives, only packaging bags are needed, and the packaging bags for cold drinks are made by special factories, which can be used directly after being sterilized by wholesale.
The ice water is packed in a packaging bag and sealed with a plastic sealer. The price of a bag of ice water is 5 cents, except for the outer packaging cost of one cent and the cost of seasoning. The ingredient is boiled water, so a bag of ice water has a profit of three cents, because its timeliness is only a few months in summer, so it is about the same as melon seeds.
Although the profit is very thin, this thing is very easy to make. Hundreds of bags of ice water can be made in one pot of melon seeds. The taste is Chen Yuan’s secret recipe. It can be said that it is clean, cheap, delicious, and easy to carry. , The packaging bag is strong and tight, as long as you bite the bag and drink the ice water directly.
As for this orange ice water, Chen Yuan doesn’t plan to split the account with Shen Mingyuan 50 to 50. As long as Shen Mingyuan spends ten yuan to buy out the production method of orange ice water, all the net profits in the future will be his own.
The previous five-to-five split was just to take care of Shen Mingyuan’s self-esteem. The money is not much, and this formula is not a rare thing. It is not the same level as the multi-functional study table and chairs, and it is not the same thing, but this secret formula The purchase is Shen Mingyuan’s own thing, and it has nothing to do with Chen Yuan. It is up to him to make money or not.
Shen Mingyuan resolutely bought the secret recipe of orange ice water. It was the first time for him to take the recipe and train himself to do business. After all, he always had to be independent, and he certainly couldn’t rely on his second sister-in-law forever.
In the evening, after the orange ice water is ready, let the whole family taste this taste, and it has won unanimous praise from the children.
Dabao Erbao firmly believes that someone will buy this thing at the gate of the school, and it is most suitable to drink a bag with great enthusiasm.
However, because too many cold drinks are easy for children to have gastrointestinal problems, Chen Yuan asked each of the children to taste some of them, and she would not let them eat any more, which made Dabao Erbao Niuniu and the others still licking their mouths greedily.
“Wait for your third uncle next time to make something that isn’t iced before eating it.”
The next day, at the entrance of the primary and secondary schools, orange-flavored ice water appeared, and the ice water can be frozen into ice cubes. There are two options to drink the ice water directly, and the ice cubes can be licked slowly. It tastes completely different. .
Shen Mingyuan’s ice water is packed in a foam cardboard box after being frozen at home, and some ice cubes are also placed in the cardboard box, so that the cooling can last for a whole day.
He set up the stall and took out the cold drink brand that was written on. It didn’t take long for someone to come forward and ask to buy it.
The ultra-low price of five cents has made many people eager to spend money to relieve their heat.
It is because the weather is so hot that some parents come out at noon to buy groceries and pick up their children from school, so they are covered in the sun as if they exploded while waiting at the school gate.
Just at this time, seeing the cold drinks sold by Shen Mingyuan, it was like seeing a water source in the desert. They were so excited that they quickly surrounded his stall, and some even bought some melon seeds by the way. go back.
When parents hold the ice water bag, they feel that the packaging is very convenient. After biting into the mouth and drinking it, they feel the cold, sour, sweet and delicious taste, which nourishes the hot heart, and it is really comfortable and thirst-quenching.
After school, elementary school students also took the money to buy ice water. Some of them bought five or six bags and went home. It was delicious and cheap to drink. Shen Mingyuan’s ice water business was very popular.
By noon, the ice water was all sold out, and Shen Mingyuan planned to close the stall and go home.
There are very few stalls on the school side, and there are only a few hawkers in twos and threes. Because today’s business is good, he plans to set up stalls here in the next few days. Opposite him is a small toy stall with a lot of tops, cards, and bullets. Beads, and ornaments with hairpin bows.
In front of the small toy booth was a emaciated young girl with a winking ponytail. The girl looked in her twenties, with a pair of almond eyes and a neat nose bridge. She was a handsome girl who looked calm and quiet.
Shen Mingyuan’s stall was empty. Occasionally, he glanced at the opposite position. He didn’t think there was anything at all, but he noticed a detail once. A student went to her stall to buy toys and asked how to play. The girl didn’t say anything, she just pointed at the toy with her finger and wanted to demonstrate how to play.
But I didn’t communicate well with the children who bought things, and the children left without the toys.
So that girl didn’t sell much for a long time, and from time to time she would look at Shen Mingyuan’s hot-selling ice water with a glimmer of envy in her eyes.
“The city management is here! The city management is here!”
At this time, a hawker suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice in the distance. The sound was like a dick, and all the hawkers at the school gate were startled.
Shen Mingyuan’s expression was also anxious to clean up his ice water stall. He was thinking about the days he had set up a stall for so many days, and it was the first time he had met the city management, but he heard from others that if he was caught, he would definitely have his property confiscated and he would be fined. .
Just as he was about to push the bike and run away, he saw the girl across from him hurriedly throwing toy cards all over the ground, and her tears were about to fall.
