I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

Chapter 176: Dividing the Seedlings

"Aunt! Aunt! Please wake up! Something happened! Someone is imitating our milk tea!"

Zhao Qiqi rubbed his eyes, feeling dazed and not quite hearing what was said.

She got up, changed her clothes and went out. Gu Xiaohua was so anxious that she was turning around.

"what happened?"

Gu Xiaohua held Zhao Qiqi's hand and said as they walked: "Aunt, the situation is urgent, and you are still so calm. Let's go."

"Tell me what happened first."

Gu Xiaohua looked angry: "There is a milk tea shop across from us, and they are copying us. They are even having a promotion today! Buy one get one free."

When Zhao Qiqi heard this word, he felt a little dazed. He had not been here for a long time, but it seemed like a long time had passed. Buy one get one free is an activity strategy often used by modern milk tea shops, but that is because modern milk tea brands have emerged one after another and the market competition is too fierce. Many brands need to use this strategy to drive consumption.

Companies like Ximou and Moudian did not do this kind of marketing activities at the beginning, but as they lost market share they were forced to do so and went downhill.

"If we don't do this kind of activity, all they can learn is milk, which means they have no competitiveness at all. They can't even make pearls. If we follow their ideas, people will not be willing to pay the original price for milk tea."

"How much is a cup across the street?"

"fifteen."

It's also fifteen, which means she wants to compete with them. Unfortunately, Zhao Qiqi does not rely on the milk supply from the milk merchants. It's different on the other side. Take the price of cow's milk, for example. It's sixty cents per catty, and one catty can only make three cups. The price of fifteen per cup is already a loss of five cents, and buy one get one free means a loss of twenty-five cents.

Of course, if the other party can offer a lower price, the loss may be less, but it will definitely not make any profit.

If it weren't for the embarrassment, she would really be curious about what the pearls made on the other side tasted like.

"Today you will be trying the thick milk pearl milk. It is more fragrant than pure cow's milk or goat's milk. You will feel the difference after drinking it. Don't worry, you should pay more attention to safety issues in the next few days, and be careful not to let others come in and tamper with it."

Gu Xiaohua grabbed Zhao Qiqi's hand and said, "Aunt, I'm a little panicked."

Zhao Qiqi turned around and comforted her, "Didn't you say you wanted to be like your aunt, open a shop and make a lot of money? Are you afraid of someone challenging you? Don't worry, as long as the other party doesn't use tricks, they won't be able to snatch customers away. But if they want to do that, I'm afraid there's nothing your aunt can do. So you have to pay more attention and take precautions. The counter can't be left empty, and the milk tea you make can't be handled by outsiders."

She knew that this was a huge challenge for the timid Gu Xiaohua. But if she wanted to stand on her own, she had to rely on herself. There were more and more things going on now, and she didn't have ten pairs of eyes, so she couldn't keep an eye on them all.

There were a lot of saplings and pepper seedlings, too many to load into one cart, so Zhao Qiqi asked him to find a cargo convoy to deliver the goods to the village, and also load some onto his own carriage.

Because Zhao Qiqi's family was at the end, she planned to distribute the saplings directly at Old Lady Gu's house. After unloading the things, the convoy following behind also unloaded the saplings, which were piled on the ground, creating a spectacular sight.

Gu Yansui parked the carriage and brought his two younger brothers over to help.

Looking at the list written by Gu Yanyan in his hand, Zhao Qiqi was a little thoughtful. There were so few people,,,

She spoke so earnestly that day, but this was all she got.

Most of them work in her workshop, but the quantities they place orders are not large. The one who places the largest order is Li Yuzhu, who places an order for 200 large plants.

"Qi Qi, this six taels of silver is for you, thanks to the money you made from selling me the chili seedlings. Even if the tea trees can't make money so quickly for the time being, the chili seedlings are very profitable. Just plant some and you won't have to work too hard, and you can get your money back." Li Yuzhu is completely different now. Although he still has that flamboyant smile and personality, he has become more free and easy, confident, and indifferent.

Zhao Qiqi knew that Li Yuzhu spoke so loudly for the people in the village to hear. The villagers would be more suspicious of what Zhao Qiqi said. After all, she was so rich, so it wouldn't matter even if she lost money.

But now, seeing Li Yuzhu, who worked with Zhao Qiqi, being able to easily take out six taels of silver to buy saplings, he felt so envious that his eyes were red. He originally thought that working in Zhao Qiqi's workshop every day and earning thirty or forty cents a day was already very good, but now he found that it was nothing compared to growing peppers.

Working in a workshop, no matter how hard a person works in a day, he will only get a fixed salary. If a family has three laborers, it is only 90 cents. But if you work in the workshop and plant peppers and tea trees after get off work, you can earn much more money than planting rice after get off work.

"Qiqi, we also want to order some tea trees and pepper seedlings."

Zhao Qiqi hesitated: "Can you and the head of the village handle it?"

There is no other labor force in the family of the two people. They are old and have never done these farm work in the past. How can they do it now?

"You are mistaken."

The wife of the village head smiled gently: "We plan to buy some seedlings and hire people to plant them. Some families can't afford to buy seedlings, or they are worried about the risks. I have discussed with the old man. If there is profit, I will give 50%. If not, I will pay according to the wages of your workshop."

Zhao Qiqi was a little touched. There are not many good people like her nowadays, no matter where they are.

She thought she was a good person, not raising prices or charging transportation fees, and trying to find ways for everyone to get rich, but she couldn't unconditionally allow everyone to try without risk.

"Okay, how much do you want to order?"

"Five hundred large seedlings."

Zhao Qiqi accepted the fifteen taels of silver, which was enough to build another house.

With the first two people taking the lead, and the prestige of the village head and Zhao Qiqi, more people came to the scene to order seedlings.

"My family also made some money from the workshop. We kept some for the winter and used the rest to buy 100 large seedlings and 100 small seedlings."

"We have a small family, so we planted fifty large seedlings and fifty small seedlings."

"Didn't Madam Zhao say that young seedlings are easier to grow? Let's take the young ones. It doesn't matter if they take a little longer."

Later, the saplings that were transported back were not enough. If they wanted to grow peppers, they had to buy saplings. Some people calculated that even if they lost money on the saplings, they could still make money from the peppers. So they bought saplings this year and could buy pepper seedlings in the future.

"Everyone, it's too cold now. It's not the season to plant peppers. But it's just right to plant seedlings. But the weather is getting cold quickly, so we have to hurry up."
