Chapter 206 A Profession That Doesn't Exist in This World
Each world develops differently.
Although Lu Yao didn't know much about the history of her previous life, she could still find that there were many things in the Feng Dynasty that were different from the ancient times in her previous life.
For example, in the ancient times, the "peddler" industry that flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty seemed to not exist in Feng Dynasty.
At least after Lu Yao came, whether exploring from memory or in real life for more than half a year, she did not find the kind of peddlers who carried loads on their shoulders, shook rattles, walked through the streets, and went to various villages and towns to sell groceries.
In Fengchao's case, she should be called "Huo Niang"~~
Therefore, Lu Yao's advice to Aunt Guo was to let her turn her street stall into a carrying pole. Instead of squatting in one place waiting for customers to come, she should carry the pole and go around the nearby villages, selling the goods directly to customers' doorsteps!
“The sage said: If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain.
Instead of squatting here every day waiting for people to buy things and competing with so many shops, it is better to withdraw from this battlefield, change your mindset, and take the initiative to find customers at their doors.
The things on your stall are all necessities for daily life.
It may not be attractive here, but for those who cannot go out, it is a timely relief! ”
Lu Yao knew that her brothers-in-law had no time or opportunity to come to the city to buy things because they had to take care of the housework every day.
They either ask people coming into the city to bring them back for them, or buy them at the market near the village.
The market is not open every day, and the items are not complete or numerous, so you can't buy anything good.
Therefore, when it comes to the demand for daily necessities, Lu Yao believes that the rural market is definitely a blue ocean.
Those who ventured into the sea first would become rich. Lu Yao strongly recommended Aunt Guo to visit the villages near Ping'an County.
"Is that so?" Aunt Guo felt that her brain was almost at a standstill.
Carrying a load on their back, they sold the goods to nearby villages.
Is this really possible?
This is something I have never heard of!
"Sister-in-law, I think the method the master pointed out is really good!" Sister-in-law Yang, who had been listening carefully to the class, thought about it carefully and thought it was really good:
“There are so many villages near Ping’an County, and it takes a long time for villagers to go to the city and back.
If you take a bullock cart, you have to pay a few cents.
If you buy too little, it’s not worth it; if you buy too much, it’s hard to carry.
If you could bring the goods with you to sell, it would save them a lot of trouble!
It saves time and a few cents, and a seller like you will definitely be popular."
"Well said! That's exactly the point!" Lu Yao praised Yang Ersao.
After some analysis and persuasion, Aunt Guo became more and more convinced that this was a good idea.
"Then I'll try it!"
Anyway, there is really no hope for the original business, so I might as well listen to the master and give it a try bravely.
Who knows, you might be able to create a new world.
"This job is specially tailored for you. You have to go to at least ten villages to try it out. Don't give up just because you are tired." Lu Yao gave another special reminder.
In addition to business needs, Lu Yao also felt that this job was more suitable for Aunt Guo, a fat woman.
Aunt Guo, who is thirty-five years old, has already gained weight due to middle age. In addition, she sets up a stall every day and sits there motionless. She is nearly five feet tall and must weigh two hundred and fifty to two hundred and sixty kilograms. She is a real fat woman.
Because business is not good, I'm probably feeling anxious and depressed, and my overall mental state is not good.
Otherwise, how could I have been scared to death by Ergouzi?
She is suffering from puffiness, insufficient qi and blood, and various blood stasis.
Ping'an County is surrounded by hilly and mountainous areas. Even if the mountains are not high, they are still mountains. The surrounding villages are all in the mountains. Aunt Guo will have to cross mountains and ridges every day from now on.
It's a good opportunity to increase your exercise, improve your physical fitness, and maybe even lose weight.
Lu Yao thought to herself: I’m killing several birds with one stone.
At that time, she didn't know that after Aunt Guo became a saleswoman, she successfully lost weight in half a year.
Moreover, because of climbing mountains and crossing rivers and carrying loads, he not only developed amazing arm strength, but also developed a body of tendon muscles.
He is even stronger than the beautiful girl Zhuangzhuang Ergouzi!
And her business has really changed a lot.
After Aunt Guo finished the paid guidance that day, she went to the countryside with the goods on her shoulder the next day.
Coincidentally, the first village she went to was the nearest Shanyang Village.
Following the master's instructions, she brought a rattle and started shaking it as soon as she entered the village.
The ding-dong ding-dong sound of the drum attracted some villagers. Aunt Guo tried several times before she shouted out the first word in her life.
This is completely different from her past when she set up a stall and sat there motionless.
Then, everything happened just as Lu Yao predicted. Aunt Guo's things that were not attractive in the city became very popular in the village.
Needle and thread, embroidery thread, cloth scraps, etc., these are all necessary for sewing and mending.
Asking someone to go to the city to buy it for you is no match for picking it yourself.
Soon, these goods were sold out.
And those children's toys, snacks, daily necessities, etc. were also bought one after another by people with various needs.
In just Shanyang Village, the two baskets of goods that Aunt Guo carried were empty.
After returning home that day, she and her three husbands counted the coins several times. There was one thousand and twenty-four copper coins!
Aunt Guo even burst into tears at that time.
The master is worthy of being a master!
The master's golden finger is really effective!
The first trip was a great success, which gave Aunt Guo great confidence in this business.
At the same time, he also listened more seriously to the various suggestions given by Lu Yao.
Lu Yao’s advice: The market demands in the village are different from those in the city, so you have to constantly adjust the types and quantities of goods.
Aunt Guo observed and summarized carefully, and the goods she brought became more and more suitable for this new market, and she made more and more money from sales.
Lu Yao advised: If you sell more goods, you can have a good talk with the supplier when purchasing and lower the price a little bit.
Aunt Guo negotiated as instructed, and the goods she received later were cheaper than before.
Following Lu Yao's instructions, she adjusted the prices of the goods, lowering those that needed to be lowered. By offering affordable and convenient products, she firmly attracted the village's repeat customers.
Lu Yao advised: After you get familiar with these villages, bring some expensive goods with you. There are rich people in the villages, and they also want to buy good things.
So Aunt Guo added high-end embroidery threads, better soap and rouge and powder, as well as exquisite velvet and pearl flowers.
Unexpectedly, in many villages, sons of landlords also came to buy.
Lu Yao advised: Don’t just go there to sell. When you come back, collect some agricultural products and bring them back to the city to sell. This will turn a one-way trip into a round-trip trip. The more money you can make, the better.
So Aunt Guo added the business of purchasing agricultural products.
For example, she would sometimes receive game, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. and bring them back to the city to sell to restaurants.
The most common business is reselling eggs.
There was a family named Lu in Shanyang Village. They had a lot of chickens at home, and they laid a lot of eggs every day.
Later, Aunt Guo went to that house to collect eggs every now and then. After selling all the goods, she would pick up a basket of eggs to take back to the city. She would eat them at a low price and let her husband sell them at the morning market to make a profit from the difference.
Her husband no longer scolded her for being useless, because now Aunt Guo could not only earn money herself, but also found him a job selling eggs.
The Lu family also didn't have to carry the heavy eggs into the city and wait for the whole morning to sell them.
Before they knew it, the two sides had established a long-term egg business.
It was a long time before Lu Yao discovered that Aunt Guo had been collecting eggs from her house.
I helped Aunt Guo with her business, which gave her a good future.
I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, the help I provided to others would eventually come back to me.
