Chapter 339 - 339 Glutinous Egg Fried Rice
339 Glutinous Egg Fried Rice
After a while, Shi Youliang’s workshop was completed. Then, he went to the Health Bureau. After the people from the Health Bureau investigated, the Liangming Workshop was officially established not long after.
After the hygiene permit was issued, Shi Youliang’s family was extremely excited.
After everything was ready, Shi Youliang and Liu Sanying began to make glutinous rice cakes.
According to Gu Qingming’s suggestion, they would wait for the client to place an order before deciding how much to make!
!!
At first, they thought that the goods should be shipped within a week after the order was taken. Then, they would make a quantity of glutinous rice cakes according to the number of deliveries this week.
Of course, there was a huge flaw in this method.
It was just that many anxious customers had to receive the goods within three to four days after placing the order. If they were late, the customers would probably return the goods. This would cause a huge loss.
Therefore, they reviewed three approaches to making the glutinous rice cakes: once a day, once every three days, or once every seven days!
For the frequency of once a day, the order would be made on the same day and then sent out on the same day. This advantage was that the customer would receive the goods quickly. The customer would be able to eat glutinous rice cakes as soon as possible. If the customer liked it, they might order again and become a repeat customer.
For the frequency of once every three days, they would receive the order within three days. After completing it in one day, he would distribute it uniformly.
For the frequency of once every seven days, of course, it would be done within seven days.
After some consideration, Shi Youliang and Liu Sanying decided to do it once every three days.
They had just started selling glutinous rice cakes online and did not know if they were saleable or not.
If they only accepted a few orders in a day, they could make a few rice cakes. However, it was time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. Therefore, they could just accumulate the orders in three days and make them together to distribute the goods.
Of course, this might have to be explained to through customer service.
Once every seven days was too long for the first customer who placed an order. If they were too impatient to wait, they would definitely return the goods. This was very disadvantageous to the seller.
Shi Youliang and Liu Sanying made a unique packaging design according to Gu Qingming’s suggestion. The production date, expiration date, and materials used were printed on the packaging. The production address and manufacturer were all clearly marked. This made it obvious that it was a safe manufacturer.
After the packaging was designed, the couple made a model and asked Zhou Fangfang to take a photo before putting it in the shop.
What surprised them was that someone placed an order on the first day they put their items up.
This time, the people who had bought things in the shop were very satisfied with the things in this shop. When they saw new goods like glutinous rice cakes on the shelves, they wanted to buy them and try them.
“Fangfang, really? Someone placed an order so quickly?” Liu Sanying asked excitedly.
“Yes, someone has placed an order.” Zhou Fangfang nodded and said, “Aunt Liu, this is a good thing. With the first order, there will be a second and third order very soon. Our shop’s traffic is getting bigger and bigger now. The things we sell are of good quality and quantity. Therefore, our shop has many repeat customers. They even buy some new goods to try when they see them on the shelves.”
When Liu Sanying heard this, she rubbed his hands together and asked nervously, “Fangfang, when do you think I should finish making this?”
Zhou Fangfang thought for a moment and said, “Aunt Liu, didn’t you say that you would do it once every three days? It’s only the first day today.”
“I… I’m just happy and worried,” Liu Sanying said, a little embarrassed. “What if there’s only one order in these three days, I…” She didn’t know what to do, not knowing if she should do it.
Zhou Fangfang smiled and said, “Auntie Liu, don’t worry. Maybe there will be many people placing orders in the next two days.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for two more days!” Liu Sanying smiled.
…
Shi Youliang’s glutinous rice cakes were sold in the shop and someone had placed an order on the first day they went to the shop.
This was a little surprising for many.
One had to know that before this, there were many items on the shop that no one had ordered for a few days.
Nowadays, there was only one order every few days.
Fortunately, the things they sold could be stored. Once they placed an order, they would send it out.
At the same time, to the villagers, it did not matter if these things could be sold or not. Anyway, it was not easy to sell them online. At most, they could choose to sell them in towns or county cities.
However, Shi Youliang and his wife treated rice cakes as a business.
In order to sell glutinous rice cakes, they even built a workshop and applied for a hygiene license.
If their glutinous rice cakes were not easy to sell online, their family would really suffer a huge loss.
Therefore, many people were watching their family.
Although it was their first day selling it online, they had their first order.
However, this order was only a few dollars.
At three dollars per serving, the customer had only bought two sets.
From the time the glutinous rice cakes were put up for sale until midnight, Zhou Fangfang received a total of three orders. They were all small orders.
In the next two days, she also received a few orders.
In three days, she received a total of 12 orders at a total of 30 dollars.
For Shi Youliang and his wife, who had been nervous for three days, these three days of orders were not much, but it was a good development.
They believed that in the future, their glutinous rice cakes would become more and more popular.
The next morning, they made the glutinous rice cakes and wrapped them up. They asked the courier company to come over and distribute the goods.
However, there were also people who began to mock him.
“Sanying, you only sold 40 glutinous rice cakes in three days. Are you sure you want to continue making them?”
“Yes. No matter how many there are, even if it’s just one order, we have to do it.”
“But if this continues, how are you going to earn money? You can earn a little, but it’s a little difficult to earn a lot. I think you should stop struggling. Why don’t you rent your workshop to someone else? My brother bought a rice mill and plans to put it in our village. Why don’t you rent your workshop to my brother!”
Liu Sanying’s face darkened, and she looked a little angry. She said loudly, “Li Qiuping, my family’s business has just started, and you’re already asking my family not to do it. What are you thinking?”
It was obvious that her family’s business had just opened, but someone was already shouting loudly that her family’s business was not good and that they should stop doing it. Who wouldn’t be angry when they heard this?
Li Qiuping’s expression immediately changed. She refused to admit that she had designs on their workshop. Her expression was also slightly angry as she said loudly, “What do you mean by that? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that your rice cakes are not easy to sell. I’m trying to persuade you out of kindness. Why are you treating kindness as ill intentions? Hmph, if you don’t listen to my advice, just wait to suffer a huge loss!”
...
Hearing her say that she had suffered a loss again and again, Liu Sanying was about to go crazy.
She shouted loudly, “It’s none of your business whether my family’s business suffers losses or not. Be kind. I think you’re black-hearted. You can’t wait for my family to not be able to earn money. Li Qiuping, what grudge do I have with you? Why are you cursing my family to lose a huge sum of money doing business?”
Li Qiuping looked embarrassed and knew that she was in the wrong. She said, “I advised you out of goodwill, but you didn’t listen. Then forget it.”
With that, she left in a hurry.
