Next, Yuan Chun welcomed wave after wave of children buying small snacks.
It was August, the children weren't in school, and they were all playing at home. The locals living in this alley were well-off, most were dual-income families who would give their kids some pocket money.
So, the snack consumption at Yuan Chun's grocery store was quite large.
And the most profitable were the small snacks.
Don't underestimate the five-cent packets of sour plum powder or the ten-cent for six fruit candies; the costs were just about half, so those little snacks essentially earned double.
The smaller the item, the smaller the cost, yet the more profitable it was.
This was the experience Yuan Chun gained after selling groceries for half a month.
In September, when students went back to school, there were fewer children coming to buy small snacks, as kids would save their pocket money to buy things at school.
After school started, Yuan Chun sent Xiao Bao to a nearby daycare.
