Chapter 8 Seongnam Market Purchasing!
The bus is a big expense for Du Feiyu.
There are three subways in Huayang City, but none of them have easy access to the farmers' market in the south of the city. After getting off the subway, you need to take the bus for five stops first, and then you have to change trains and make two more stops.
Du Feiyu was distressed by this inefficient two-stop road. Two dollars for five stations and two dollars for two stations, he felt it was really unfair.
What's more, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the buses coming and going in the city are only one dollar for getting on the bus.
Thinking of this, Du Feiyu couldn't help but gnaw on the steamed bun angrily. It was the last bite he was going to eat today, so he chewed it a little more heavily.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the subway station, and there was a stuffy feeling all around. Fortunately, Ah Bai came out and lay on Du Feiyu's shoulder, like a small air conditioner.
Du Feiyu cherished Ah Bai in his arms, enjoying the natural coolness brought by the snow fox.
"Why are you so disgusted all of a sudden?" Bai said in disgust.
"I've never needed you more than I need you now. Du Feiyu replied.
"Say it again?"
"I've never been ...... like I'm now"
"Stop!" Ah Bai raised his head and scratched Du Feiyu's chin with his paws, "Don't talk about it now, tell me again when there is no sun at night." ”
"No, I've reserved better words for the evening. ”
After Du Feiyu finished speaking, he looked up at the gray road, and when he was really angry, he faced the hot sun, hugged Ah Bai, and ran forward.
After running for seven stops in one go, four yuan of car money was successfully saved. It's just that Du Feiyu's own aura is in short supply, and when he was running with his qi, the demonic power assisted by Ah Bai penetrated into his body a little.
So I ran a lot of laps on this hot day, not only did I not sweat a drop, but even my hands and feet became cold.
The vendors at the farmer's market were taking their lunch break, and they looked a little strange at the people who showed up at the market at noon.
After the morning market ended, the dishes on the stalls had already been picked. The best ones have been bought by the first ones.
But Du Feiyu was pleasantly surprised to find that even these leftovers at the end of the plate were much better than those sold in the supermarket in the north of the city.
Tomatoes are larger, noticeably rounder and full of moisture, and kale is in the new season, with healthy foliage and strong stems that make it feel crisp when stir-fried.
There's also Chinese cabbage, and cucumbers, as well as beautiful and smooth zucchini and gorgeous golden squash.
But Du Feiyu was unwilling to choose them, he had his own calculations in his heart.
The cabbage is heavy, and the difference in price for a pound is only five cents at best.
The profit of cucumber is also not satisfied, there are two yuan for one pound in the supermarket in the north of the city, and there is also one piece of seven for one pound here, which is obviously lacking in earnings.
Pumpkin is heavier than cabbage, and the price difference is only two cents, so Du Feiyu might as well buy potatoes if he wants to buy it.
In the end, Du Feiyu locked his eyes on the zucchini.
Zucchini is sold for two yuan and five pounds in the supermarket, and the average price here is only one piece and five pounds. One pound down, you can actually make a dollar.
That's a rare profit margin.
But he's not in a hurry.
This farmer's market is not small, and there is quite a wide variety of vegetables. He had to go around and figure out which dishes he wanted to buy.
Before he and Ah Bai set off, they had written down the prices of the vegetables in the supermarket. The brains that memorized the cheats of the exercises back then, now remember the price figures, and it is not ambiguous.
After a circle, Du Feiyu already had some eyebrows in his mind.
In addition to zucchini, eggplant has a price difference of 9 cents for two yuan in the south of the city and three yuan in the north of the city, 5 yuan in the south of the city and 7 yuan in the north of the city, and you can earn up to two yuan, and garlic and spinach also have a good profit margin, with the difference in price as much as five yuan and three yuan respectively.
"What do you think, Bai?" Du Feiyu touched his pocket and asked.
"I recommend buying more green beans and garlic to supplement it with spinach, zucchini and eggplant instead of buying too much. Ah Bai replied, "The two of them are not easy to bring, and the profits are not too high." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Du Feiyu said with a smile, "But I don't think you can buy more garlic." ”
"Why?"
"Our dishes are sold directly to uncles and aunts. But do you think that the average family buys a seasoning like garlic and ginger that is not easy to spoil once a day?"
"What does the suzerain mean...... Garlic won't sell well?"
"Of course. Du Feiyu was very confident, "However, we still have to buy a little." Since this thing is not easy to break, I'll use it as a hedge. ”
Du Feiyu wanted to spend all the more than 200 yuan on groceries, and he stayed up on an empty stomach for five and a half days, just for this moment.
But Ah Bai's heart always needs to be a little more, and she repeatedly persuaded the sect master to stay calm. In the end, Du Feiyu made a discount and set the purchase fund at 150 yuan.
He walked over to a vegetable stall. In Fang Cai's inquiry, he concluded that this stall has the best green beans, and the price is neither high nor low in the entire market.
In the shop directly opposite the stall, the price of green beans is the lowest in the whole market, and the owner of the shop is in a hurry to dispose of a batch of sparse beans.
Of course, Du Feiyu didn't plan to buy that kind of dish, but when necessary, it could be a means to lower the price.
"Grocery shopping?" asked the vendor at the edge of the stall routinely.
"How to sell green beans?" Du Feiyu got straight to the point.
"Five dollars and fifty pounds, very cheap. The peddler picked up the scale as he spoke, "Take two or three catties, this is delicious." ”
"These green beans are sparse, five yuan is expensive, four yuan is a catty. Du Feiyu shot back.
"Four pieces are not for sale. If you go to any place, our green beans are definitely the best on the market. The peddler didn't let up at all.
"It's been noon, and you're the last dish, and it's still so expensive? Du Feiyu turned to leave, and deliberately pretended to be a little hesitant, just slowly moving his steps.
The vendor's eyes narrowed. He concluded that the young man in front of him wanted to buy it, but he was just pretending.
So he calculated and said:
"Five yuan and four pounds for you, I'm going to close the stall too, and it's cheaper for you." ”
"There's no difference between five and five, it's not cheap. Du Feiyu looked reluctant.
"How about five yuan three! I'll sell you a face, five yuan three, no bargaining. The peddler said.
"Four pieces and two, I won't pick it, you can just call it to me. ”
"Your price is too unreasonable, five yuan three are too expensive?"
"Your dish is obviously not as good as in the morning, you sell five yuan three in the morning, and you still sell five yuan three in the afternoon?" Du Feiyu retorted.
In fact, the average price of the hawker's vegetables in the morning is only about five yuan.
The peddler took care of the loss, lowered his head and thought about it, and said:
"Five dollars and one, I'm going to dispose of this last dish. Just lose some money and sell it for five dollars. ”
He raised his head, only to find that Du Feiyu had already run to the small store opposite. The owner of the small store was worried that no one would buy it, and he opened his mouth to be four yuan and seven and one pounds. When Du Feiyu heard the price, he seemed very moved.
The peddler looked angry in his heart. After just bargaining for so long, the shopkeeper wants to rob him? And this young man is too ignorant, how can the food in that shop be compared with his own?
He hurriedly shouted, "Five dollars!
"Oh?" Du Feiyu raised his head and looked at the vendor, wanting to move but not moving.
"Four yuan and sixty-one catties! I'm going to dispose of this dish, buy more, and give you the rest, I won't give you a catty!" The shopkeeper really did as Du Feiyu wished, and consciously lowered the price.
The vendor was annoyed: "His dish is soaked in water, so it looks better! Look at my green beans for yourself, this moisture, this crispness, pure natural!"
He wiped the board with his hand to show that his green beans were of high quality and had not been soaked in water.
Du Feiyu showed an expression of sudden realization and returned to the front of the peddler.
"Just buy yours. Du Feiyu said, "It's cheaper, I'll buy more." ”
The peddler sighed, shook his head with a wry smile:
"Boss, you are young, and the bargaining is too fierce. Let's be honest, I'm not going to make any money today. If it's cheap, it's cheap, give you four dollars and eighty-one pounds. ”
When one loses, anxiety takes over, and when one loses and regains, the heart is filled with a sense of victory and possessiveness.
At this time, the price bottom line, which was originally defended, will be completely loosened in the ups and downs of emotions.
But at this time, the hawker only had the ease of finally confirming the sale. And Du Feiyu promised to buy more, in his opinion, now he is the one who takes the initiative.
But he still had a wry smile on his face to show that he had lost a lot. He picked up the scale, weighed it and said casually:
"Four pieces of eight, make up a number, and weigh you five catties. ”
This is a common and effective trick. Take the initiative to judge on behalf of customers, so that customers who are hesitant buy more things.
But Du Feiyu did not hesitate at all. He replied:
"Five catties is less, weigh me twenty catties. ”
The peddler's hand stopped suddenly.
"What did you say?"
"Four pieces of five, weighing twenty pounds. ”
Du Feiyu stopped talking nonsense at the moment.
"You...... What are you doing with so much of it?" exclaimed the peddler.
"Cook a big pot of rice. Du Feiyu made up a reason on the spot.
At this moment, twenty catties and four pieces of five were spinning rapidly in the peddler's mind. He was stunned for about five seconds, and finally nodded weakly:
"Okay. ”
He weighed it and handed the heavy green beans to Du Feiyu.
Although he sold out the green beans all at once, he didn't have the pleasure of making money at all.
Du Feiyu calmly walked towards the far side of the market, and after making sure that he was out of the hawker's sight, he collapsed in the corner with a pop.
Ah Bai walked around him worriedly, and Du Feiyu gasped for a while, and finally recovered.
He smiled reluctantly at Ah Bai:
"I'm starving. I almost couldn't hold these twenty catties of vegetables. ”
Ah Bai didn't answer, just put his paw on Du Feiyu's palm. Du Feiyu only felt the slightest coolness, and the hunger in his stomach gradually suppressed.
"Five pieces of five have been cut into four pieces of five, and the sect master seems to be suitable for business. Ah Bai tried to say something else to ease Du Feiyu's discomfort, "Why did that vendor let you cut the price?"
Du Feiyu stood up against the wall and said:
"Buyers are not as good as sellers. You see him losing to death today, but in fact he just made a little less. I guess his cost price should be about four yuan, maybe a little lower. If I haggle too hard, and it suddenly reaches four yuan, there is no need to talk about it at that moment. ”
"That's how amazing bargaining is. Always try to be on the edge of the comfort zone of both sides, little by little. Neither too much nor too little, neither too fierce nor too slow. This is the Word. ”
Ah Bai looked at Du Feiyu who was discussing the Dao, and felt that in this short moment, the sect master of the Extreme Dao Sect seemed to have regained his demeanor.
But Du Feiyu laughed as he spoke.
"This kind of thing is really small and big. "I'm also a genius to do so much to save a dollar." ”
Ah Bai couldn't stop laughing when he heard it. The fox's laughter is not the same as that of a human, "poaching", and it sounds weird. After laughing for too long, Du Feiyu was also awkward, so he asked:
"What are you laughing at?"
Ah Bai was suddenly unhappy: "Can you laugh, if you are a genius, I am still a saint!"
