Chapter 9: Drinks

In the evening Wang Licheng visited the store and his mother took Lingling home to get a change of clothes. Wu Ling will stay at his house for a few days.

During the day, the store is usually watched by Chen Gouzu. When it is time to deliver goods, Wang Licheng's mother will watch the store. After dinner, Gouzu's work for the rest of the day is over.

Gou left on weekends, just like him in the factory, except that Wang Licheng will come to replace the shift when Gou left rests. It can be said that Wang Licheng’s work is endless.

Generally, when purchasing goods, Gouzu will be left to watch for half a day, which is calculated as overtime pay, which is one Yuan per half day.

In the morning, after three generations of descendants had breakfast, Wang Licheng sent Lingling to school and then went to work. The mother stayed at the store to open the door.

The business in the store is still good, although the profit is not as high as selling cigarettes before, but he has variety in his store, and there are many new things that Pucheng does not have.

There is another person who also contributed, and that is Chen Gouzuo.

Wang Licheng found that he was very tidy and was a good salesman.

In the evening, after dinner, Wang Licheng left behind Chen Gouyu.

"Gouzu, are you used to it here?" Gouzu has been here for two months.

"Yes, my aunt is a good person, and the dishes I eat are delicious. The best thing is that my brother gave me this job." When he told his mother that he had found a job, his mother wept happily. Although his mother didn't say it, he knew that she had always wanted him to find a serious job.

"Okay! You have learned to flatter people. I see that you are doing a good job in sales, are you interested in running sales. When the store is busy, you can help with the store, and when you are not busy, you can go out and sell. The goods sold are for you. With a 1% commission that is for every 100 Yuan sold, I will give you 1 Yuan, and the salary will still be 50 Yuan a month, how about it?"

Xue Lili is about to arrive, and its market in Pucheng is still blank, and it needs someone to open the door. He originally planned to promote it himself, but after seeing Chen Gouyu's sales talent, he decided to let him try it first, and he would try it later.

The salary always has to rise for him, and the way of commission can better mobilize his enthusiasm.

After get off work, Wang Licheng went to pick up Wu Ling from school. These times, when picking up Lingling, he always met Xiao Jiandang's sister. Because they met at school or at the school gate, he didn't think much about it.

"Lingling, mother will come to pick you up tonight, will Lingling miss my uncle when I get home?"

"I don't want to go home; I want to be my uncle's daughter."

"Why be uncle's daughter, won’t your mother be very sad."

"Mom won't, she already has a younger brother."

Wang Licheng felt that things were a bit big, did someone tell her something.

"How come, your mother also likes Lingling very much." He saw that the eldest sister and brother-in-law treated Lingling well!

"No, because of the younger brother born by this girl's mother. The whole family likes my younger brother." Wang Licheng immediately put away his smile, "Who said that?"

"That's right, wow."

Without stopping to coax his niece, he rode directly back to the store. Mother immediately came over and hugged Lingling in.

"What's the matter?" Doesn't Lingling like her son very much? Why cry?

Liu Fengzhen coaxed her granddaughter and gave her a piece of candy. That's why he pulled his son aside and asked what was going on.

"I don't know who told her that the eldest sister gave birth to a younger brother because she is a daughter. She also said that the family only likes the younger brother."

He didn't say Lingling was going to do his daughter's business. The crux of the matter is to say this to children and whether the elder sister's family really prioritizes sons over daughters.

"Don't worry about it, I'll tell her when your sister comes."

Now every family has only one child, only Chunmei's family has two, the youngest is a son and he will dote on the youngest son a little bit, but it can't be discovered by the eldest daughter.

There were many children in their era, and they all preferred boys to girls. Now it's a new era, and there is only one in the family, and they can't bear it anymore.

When she was working, she still shouted the slogan "Women hold up half the sky."

She had to tell Chunmei about this.

Wang Chunmei came over at seven in the evening. Liu Fengzhen took her eldest daughter upstairs to tell everything. Chunmei didn't wait until she got home to ask, she could think of who told her daughter.

"Lingling, why do you say that your mother doesn't like you? Your mother likes your brother and also likes you."

"Then why do you want to have a brother, isn't it good to have me?" Most of their classmates only have one.

"Mom is afraid that Lingling will be too lonely alone. Wouldn't it be good to have a younger brother to play with Lingling?"

"No, I want to be my uncle's daughter." My uncle would buy her delicious and fun things and play with her. The younger brother is not good at all. He always likes to rob her and complains.

"My uncle will have children of his own, and they will be Lingling's younger brother or younger sister. Lingling is the eldest sister, so we must take care of the younger brother and sister."

"Does my uncle's family really have younger brothers and sisters? The teacher said the same thing, but I don't want it." Why is the teacher involved again? Could it be that the teacher said something to her, not the sister-in-law?

"What did the teacher say to you?"

"The teacher asked me if I brought my uncle's younger siblings to play."

"Your teacher knows your uncle?" Does the younger brother look like someone with children?

"She knows, the teacher also called my uncle Licheng brother." Wu Ling also imitated it, she felt that the teacher smiled very nicely when she called her uncle Licheng brother.

"What else did the teacher tell you?"

"The teacher told me a lot and taught me to do my homework. I also asked my aunt if she was treating me well. Mom, will I have an aunt?" Who will love her again. She was a little sad, why her uncle was not her father.

"Which teacher are you talking about?"

"Mr. Xiao."

It's really her. Lingling's head teacher, Ms. Rao, is in her forties. It's impossible to call her little brother.

Ms. Xiao has a little impression on her. She teaches Chinese, and she is still very young and beautiful.

What Mr. Xiao said was not like he was teaching a bad daughter, but more like inquiring about his younger brother's marital status.

The younger brother promised to bring the object home at the end of last year, but it has not been fulfilled. They have also been busy recently, and Xia Mei told her about introducing her to her younger brother last time.

After she was busy during this period of time, she went to inquire about Teacher Xiao's situation and then told her mother.

In the blink of an eye, the delivery day of Xuelili arrived, and Xuelili arrived together with the signboard that said Xuelili's total distribution.

There is an alley on the side of their storefront, which can be regarded as a small road, which can be convenient for those who live in it to go home.

A small door was opened on the side wall of the stairwell against the alley for easy access.

Xue Lili was placed under the aisle and stairwell, and some that could not fit were transported back to home. The living room and mom's room are full.

The inspector sent by Jiangcheng's general distribution previously said that he would rent a larger house nearby as a warehouse. He wants to try to sell it first, and then talk about it when he has money.

The remaining more than 20,000 were all spent.

In order to facilitate Chen Gouyu's delivery, he also bought a tricycle. This costs money.

The last place Chen Gouyu thought of as a sales pitch was entertainment venues. In this era, when it comes to entertainment venues, it is a dance hall. He carried a bag of snow force to the dance hall every day after get off work. The best thing that the dance hall sells is the drink, and the most profitable thing is the drink.

In just one week, he sold 10 boxes. Today, several dance halls called to order. It was a repurchase. There were three orders, and one ordered 10 boxes.

The snow force sold by the dog left to the dance hall is in a green glass bottle. The retail price is fifty cents a bottle, and the karaoke hall sells a bottle for one Yuan.

10% off all their Sheryl branded beverages and 15% off on boxes of 20 or more. Customers who order for the first time can enjoy a 10% discount on a case.

Xue Lili's order frenzy started two weeks later. Gouzou is selling at all the indoor and outdoor entertainment venues in Pucheng. Billiard room, game rooms and others have their Xue Lili. Other shops saw that everyone was drinking Xue Lili, and they were not far behind, and they found his store to order, and also called directly to order.

This time, Wang Licheng directly ordered another 5,000 Yuan of goods and 600 boxes. This soda drink is what the later generations call fast-selling products, which are consumed quickly, and are not afraid of overstocking. And the weather is slowly getting warmer, and summer is the peak sales of soft drinks.

While ordering, he also inquired if there were any larger houses nearby that could be rented out.

Wang Licheng didn't know why he didn't have experience with renting a house. The house was not rented, and there were family members who wanted to sell the house behind the store. The bungalow is very old. I heard that it was built in the early 1970s. It has two bedrooms and one living room, and it is about ten square meters.

They asked for 8,000 Yuan. The house is directly behind the storefront, not facing the street, one floor, and very dilapidated. They asked for so much as soon as they opened their mouths.

After ordering the Xue Lili, he only had more than 3,000 left.

After talking a few times, it seemed that Xue Lili was about to arrive. His mother, Liu Fengzhen, helped him take down the house for 5,500 Yuan, which was paid by his mother. After earning money from selling cigarettes, he immediately returned the 10,000 Yuan to his mother. The Xue Lili arrived the next day.

When the master found something wrong with him last year, he did not dare to tell the master about selling cigarettes.

The master is smart, not as easy to fool as the mother.

This time the master asked him again.

This year, he only took three months of classes, and he asked for leave five or six times.

"My family opened a non-staple food store this year, and I'm still a little busy now."

"Well, the master doesn't say anything to you, just work hard. But the premise is to handle the work in the factory first. I won't hide from you, the current situation in the factory I don't know how many years the situation will last. You have found a way out now, and the master is happy for you."

"Thank you, master, I will not forget the things you taught me."

He kept hiding it for fear that the master would tell him. The master is really a smart person who sees things farther than ordinary people.

When he first sold cigarettes several sisters and brothers-in-law all told him that they were afraid that he would lose his job because of the shop.

In their impression, the current job is an iron rice bowl and their parents have worked in the factory all their lives. There are also many families whose parents retired and their children continued to work in the factory. If you have a job in a factory like him, you don't go to work honestly. Selling things outside is just doing things.

Easy money is not earned, how much money can be earned by selling things.

They didn't say anything until he bought the store a few years ago.

He can understand and knows that most of the people nowadays are thinking of the sisters, and even his mother didn't agree with it at first. I reluctantly agreed to it after hearing him say that the efficiency of the factory was not good.

If he wanted to quit his job and focus on opening a store, he was guaranteed that no one in the family would support him. Even thought he was sick.

This is the way of thinking in this era, and he can't imagine how they will accept this fact when the wave of layoffs arrives.
