Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 945: The New Shop Opens For Business (4)

Gu Qingyao said, “But my main goal is not to attract people to buy pickles to make their own fish with pickles, but… to copy my little business.”

Gu Fangting was stunned!

In these times, the economy was poor.
People who started their own businesses were known as entrepreneurs, and as an occupation, it was not well thought of.

But the market was like that.
As long as there was demand, there would be sales.

Now consumption was not as great as it would be in later times, so there were many, many small businesses.

“You’ve eaten my fish with pickles many times, and you know how to cook it yourself.
You should know that such a delicious dish is seldom found on the market.
Once my business booms, many people are sure to imitate it.

“The pickles are the most important.
Other people cannot make my kind of pickles.
The taste will certainly be inferior.
My price is not too high, and if ordinary hawkers try to copy my dish, they will certainly buy my pickles.
At least, some of them will.

“They want a high turnover with low-profit margins, and they will have their own little corner of the market.
As for me, all I have to do is sell pickles!”

Only then did Gu Fangting realize how many twists and turns her older cousin’s mind had taken.

“Older Cousin, you’re so smart!

“Fish is very cheap now, but many people do not cook it properly, and it smells fishy.
Only you can make such a good fish with pickles.
Since the cost of fish is so low, and with cabbage at a few cents per kilogram, they will certainly make a profit.”

Gu Qingyao smiled.
It was true.

In these times, resources were still scarce.
With empty bellies, few would focus on making their food tastier.

At that time, people did not really like fish because they could not bear to generously season it and did not know how to cook it.
So it was often fishy.
Fish of all sizes were often seen in the market, and they only cost ten or twenty cents a fish.
They were just a little more expensive than cabbage.

But in her hands, everything was different.

Gu Qingyao brought her around and said with a smile, “I’m opening in three days.
Do you want to come and take a look then?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Gu Fangting rushed over and wrapped her arms around Gu Qingyao’s shoulders.
“Of course I’ll be here.
It will be a great learning experience, I certainly won’t miss it.
I am determined to depend on you my whole life!”

“Hee…” Gu Qingyao was amused.

To be honest, she really liked this younger cousin.
She was so mature!

Gu Qingyao knew that she had been doted on by the Gu family since she was young.
Her life was much better compared to the ordinary girls from the village.

Besides Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing who bullied her occasionally, the rest adored her.
Even Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing did not dare to actually do anything to her.
At most, they would scold her.

But if Father found out, he would teach them a lesson and avenge her.

When Zhang Xiaohui left, her life became even better.

Gu Fangting had a hard life when she was growing up in the Li family.
When she became part of the Gu family, the Gus were very good to her and were not biased against her.
But she was not as cherished as Gu Qingyao had been.

She and the older cousins had grown up together, and they had watched her mature.
As for Gu Fangting, they did not have that kind of close bond that was formed from growing up together.

By the time Gu Fangting moved to the Gu house, the older cousins had all left to work and seldom came home.
