Chapter 943: The New Shop Opens For Business (2)
Fruits and vegetables were a necessity. These were the items that attracted the most traffic, especially vegetables.
After all, everyone had to cook, and they needed vegetables!
As for fruits, she really had a lot of fruits. Apples, oranges, and bananas were all common. Then there were lots of grapes, melons, pears and even watermelons and peaches.
These were rarer.
Some of them might not even be in season, but Gu Qingyao had them all.
Gu Fangting’s eyes almost fell out of her head.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “This is nothing! Don’t worry. You will see more in the future. As transportation develops, we can eat summer fruits even in the depths of winter.”
Gu Fangting drooled when she saw all these things!
Wow, wow, wow, she wanted to eat these!
Among the snacks were sweets, dried fruits, jam, buns, and canned food. Just looking at them made her drool.
Especially the canned food. This was very rare in these times and extremely expensive.
Gu Qingyao made the canned goods herself in her spare time. It had been many years since her rebirth, and since there was such a huge time difference between her interspace and the outside world, she made lots of things in her interspace whenever she was free. When the markets opened up, she would bring them out to sell.
She was the only one making these things, and it took a long time to accumulate them. But there was no choice. She was the only one available, and she had plenty of time!
There were only a few types of canned food at that time. mainly peaches and mandarin oranges. She was prepared to introduce new varieties in the future.
Gu Qingyao’s main goal in opening this supermarket was to bring out her pickled vegetables.
Gu Fangting looked at the pickles in the vat. “Older Cousin, are you selling these things here?”
Gu Qingyao nodded, an amused gleam in her eyes. “Of course. These are great. They will sell very well in the future.”
She made these pickles herself!
Their taste was excellent, and it was based on her own recipe. No one else could replicate the flavor.
Over the years, she had worked in the interspace whenever she had the time. She had lots and lots of pickles in her interspace.
In later years, there was a saying: How do you sell a cabbage that is worth a few cents for 20 yuan a kilogram?
The answer was to turn the cabbage into a dish and sell it!
And that was Gu Qingyao’s goal.
This was the north!
Cabbage was very common in the north during winter. They were very cheap!
But her pickles!
Were different!
Gu Fangting goggled at the price on the sticker!
“One… one yuan… a kilogram?”
At this time, cabbages were only a few cents a kilogram. Could they be sold for one yuan after pickling?
Besides, the pickles were still soaking in liquid. If they were taken out and sold by weight, together with the liquid, then…
“Older Cousin, will anyone buy something so expensive? Is it the kind of pickles we eat at home?”
Gu Qingyao was an expert cook. In the past, she had often cooked fish with pickles, and of course, Gu Fangting had eaten it.
Older Cousin made these pickles herself. They were sour, crunchy and refreshing. They were really delicious. But Gu Fangting felt that to sell it for one yuan a kilogram was too much.
Gu Qingyao smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. There will definitely be buyers. In fact, they will fight to buy it.”
Gu Fangting had followed Gu Qingyao around since she was a young girl, and she thought her older cousin was omnipotent. She was used to relying on her older cousin, so now she immediately nodded and said, “Sure, I look forward to it. I must see how you manage to sell such a thing for one yuan a kilogram. When I learn this skill, I will be rich!”
