Chapter 53: Competitors (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Uncle's words made Liu Qingshan feel cordial, and he couldn't help but think of the old man at home: "Uncle, if you want to eat winter bamboo shoots, it won't be a problem for me to give you two catties, but the problem is that I don't sell winter bamboo shoots today." ”
Don't sell winter bamboo shoots?
The crowd was puzzled.
What is the sack of hemp he brought if it wasn't winter bamboo shoots?
Liu Qingshan unloaded the sack, gently placed it on the ground, and then took a cut snakeskin bag from the motorcycle and spread it on the ground.
Seeing his actions, everyone was even more puzzled.
What kind of good thing has to be cut open and spread on the ground in a snakeskin bag before it can be sold?
Could it be the mushrooms in the mountains?
But looking at the bulging snakeskin bag, it doesn't look like a mushroom.
Liu Qingshan opened the mouth of the bag, picked out the yams one by one, and placed them in the snakeskin bag on the ground.
Seeing the yam, everyone suddenly realized that at the same time, they felt puzzled.
"I thought it was something strange, you still put a snakeskin bag on the ground, isn't it a yam, this thing itself has a lot of dirt, it doesn't matter if you put it directly on the ground, you have to peel it to eat it anyway. The fat uncle laughed.
Liu Qingshan also laughed twice, and said while fiddling with the yams: "That's right, but if I don't get a snakeskin bag, the yellow mud wrapped in yam will have to stain the ground, and when the time comes, the cleaners will have to work hard to sweep it, so I will make them a little easier with a snakeskin bag, so why not do it." ”
His image instantly became a little taller.
The last time he sold bamboo shoots, the surrounding stall vendors already liked him very much, and now his seemingly insignificant behavior has made everyone have a lot of good feelings for him.
You say, what kind of scholarly family must be to educate such a sensible child?
"Little handsome guy, your parents should be teachers. Auntie asked.
Liu Qingshan sneered: "My dad graduated from elementary school, and my mom didn't even finish the second grade." ”
These words made a light flash in everyone's hearts: Perhaps, a person's conduct has little to do with his family background, even if it is a peasant who can't read a few words, he can educate children with good conduct.
This more or less gives these people who are running for life a glimmer of hope.
At this time, a passing man walked up to Liu Qingshan's stall and asked for the price.
Liu Qingshan raised two fingers and informed, "Twenty yuan a catty." ”
"Twenty dollars a pound?" the man immediately shouted when he heard this, "Why don't you go and grab it." ”
Liu Qingshan just smiled and didn't say anything.
When the man left, the uncle and aunt who sold vegetables began to persuade Liu Qingshan: "Your price is a bit high." Twenty yuan a catty, which is a bit outrageous. ”
"Yes, you said that it is reasonable to sell for fifteen yuan a catty, but it is really high for twenty yuan a catty. ”
Liu Qingshan disagreed: "In the spring, it can be sold for fifteen yuan a catty, but now it sells for twenty, which is not high." ”
During the Qingming period, the weather was pleasant, the land was soft, and it was not difficult to dig yams, so there were many people selling yams. But even at that time, wild yams could be sold for ten yuan a pound in the town, and when they arrived in the county seat, they could be sold for fifteen yuan a catty.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan feels that it is not too much for the current yam to sell for twenty yuan a catty.
However, he thinks so, but others don't.
After several people asked about the price of the yam, they all called it too high, and then they didn't even bother to cut the price and left.
If that's all there is, it's nothing, after all, not everyone is willing to spend twenty yuan to buy a pound of yams.
But what's worse is that not long after Liu Qingshan's stall opened, a strong competitor came.
It was a middle-aged man, very lean and dark-skinned. When he appeared at the door of the vegetable market with a snakeskin bag on his shoulder, everyone subconsciously looked at him.
When he put the long and straight yam on the ground, everyone looked at Liu Qingshan with a little worry.
Liu Qingshan stared at the yam that the man placed on the ground, not very worried.
After a while, an aunt walked up to the man and asked about the price of the yam.
The man picked up a pile of plastic bags, skillfully pulled out a bag and handed it to the aunt: "It's only ten yuan a catty, my yams are all wild, whether they are eaten in soup or steamed, they are delicious." ”
The aunt looked at the yams on the ground, thought about it, and picked up a few yams and put them in a bag.
As soon as this aunt took the lead, many passers-by slowly approached the past, and after a while, the front of the man's yam was crowded with people who were buying yams or watching the excitement.
The man is quite business-minded, and when he sees a lot of people, he immediately turns on the recording speaker he carries with him. As soon as the switch was pressed, a string of slips expanded out of the speaker:
Come and come, walk by and take a look, fresh wild yam only ten yuan a catty, as long as ten yuan a catty, ten yuan is not expensive, suitable for our boss's surname to consume, ten yuan is not much, can not go to Hong Kong and can not go to Singapore, ten yuan dare not spend, when can you be an entrepreneur, can not be a home, can not be the master, can only be a nanny......
Listening to this noisy tongue twister, Liu Qingshan was full of black lines.
Not only did he hate the noise, but even the vendors next to him felt harsh.
At the entrance of the entire vegetable market, no one used a horn, but this man used it. So everyone feels a little unpleasant when they look at this man.
The fat uncle walked up to Liu Qingshan and whispered: "Look at the people, the loudspeaker is shouting, the price is low, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your yam to sell today." Otherwise, you will also reduce the price, sell it for ten yuan a catty, and make a loudspeaker to shout. ”
"Yes, yes, that's good. The vegetable seller aunt agreed, "Anyway, there aren't many more horns, you go buy one, and I'll help you look at the yams." ”
"Forget it. Liu Qingshan really doesn't look down on this kind of selling method, "Anyway, my yam is like this, and it will be sold for twenty yuan a catty, and others will ask for it, don't forget it, there is no need to engage in so many vain things." ”
"Hey, you're setting up a stall in Buddha nature. The fat uncle smiled, "I've never seen a stall like you, it's really interesting to not fight or grab." ”
"Hee-hee, I'm actually lazy. ”
At this time, a woman squeezed out of the crowd in front of the yam stall over there, and saw that Liu Qingshan also sold yams here, so she had an idea and walked towards Liu Qingshan.
"Boss, how do you sell these yams?" asked the woman, picking up a yam with a thick smell of mud.
The yam was heavy, not only wrapped in some moist yellow mud, but also the fur was shiny, and it looked like a fine yam.
Liu Qingshan raised two fingers: "Twenty yuan a catty." ”
"Twenty yuan a catty?" the woman frowned, looked back at the yam stall on the other side, and said with some dissatisfaction, "It's only sold for ten yuan a catty over there, and you actually sell it for twenty yuan a catty, your price is too high." ”
Liu Qingshan said twice, but he didn't explain.
