Chapter 010: Doing Business in a Boom

Preparing whetstones, kitchen knives, rod scales and old plastic bags turned out at home, Wang Qiang fetched buckets of clean water from the well, all tied with ropes and fixed on the big cart.

Not to mention, it's hard to push up.

Originally, Wang Qiang's body and bones were not particularly strong, and it was a stone road, bumpy along the way, spilling a lot of water, and a fish jumped out during the period and was almost crushed to death by the wheel.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and after forty-five minutes of implementation, I came to the town.

At this moment, the eastern horizon shone with a glimmer of light, carefully soaking into the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from the distance.

The entrance to the bazaar.

Wang Qiang panted and stopped the car, and did not enter the gate of the vegetable market, only to see that there were people inside and the voice was boiling.

"Borrow light, borrow light, bump, bump!"

"The price is reduced! The price is reduced! The clothes made of high-quality white cloth are ten yuan a piece!"

"Eh, eldest sister, do you want some spiced sunflower seeds?"

"Good cabbage, come and buy it!"

The shouting and bargaining voices converged into one piece, and it was very lively.

According to the season, the cabbage should have just been planted, and now it is sold on the market, and it is relatively rare to come out of the greenhouse, but it is not nothing.

No, on the side of the aisle of the vegetable field, Wang Qiang saw a middle-aged man selling cabbage, he looked at the empty position next to him, stopped the cart, and forcefully moved the two wooden basins down, next to the cabbage stall, the middle-aged man kindly helped to take the handle.

"Uncle, thank you. Wang Qiang slowly put down the wooden basin containing the fish and thanked him.

As soon as he put the wooden basin down, the middle-aged man stood there and said with a smile: "Young man, you came out to do business at such a young age?"

Wang Qiang is not afraid of life at all, a young body does not mean that he is young at heart, squatting next to the wooden basin, showing a simple smile, "The family is poor, earn some tuition." “

The middle-aged man gave a thumbs up, "It's much better than my kid, he knows how to drill game rooms all day long." As he spoke, he pulled a small stool and sat down, pointing inside, "The two fish businesses in there are very good, I guess it is quite difficult for you to sell, most of them are their old businesses." ”

Wang Qiang looked inside, and sure enough, he saw that the sound of the two fish sellers leaning against the gate of the vegetable market was very good, and they were full of people, "It's okay, I have a unique method." ”

"Yo, what do you have to do with your own methods?" The middle-aged man didn't believe it, "You don't know that there were originally three fish sellers in it, and one was squeezed away by them, what unique means can you use to rob these two fish sellers of the business?"

Wang Qiang put the kitchen knife and whetstone aside, and replied casually: "You'll know later." ”

The middle-aged man teased: "Then I will learn your unique methods later." ”

The two chatted over there, and after a while, Wang Qiang learned that the middle-aged man's surname was Zhai, a relatively rare surname.

Uncle Zhai sells some cabbage from time to time.

Twenty minutes passed, Wang Qiang didn't do a business, people walked by indifferently and went directly to the vegetable market, just like Uncle Zhai said, they were all those two old businesses.

Wang Qiang saw that this was not going to work, so he temporarily stopped chatting with Uncle Zhai and shouted over there.

"Wild crucian carp is cheap!"

"Come and buy it, just one piece of five pounds!"

This shout really shouted a business.

A middle-aged woman was pushing a bicycle and was about to go inside, but when she heard the words, she looked over, "Huh, Qiangzi, why are you here?"

Hearing his name, Wang Qiang looked up and saw that it was actually a neighbor on the east side of his house, and he had to call his aunt, "Chen Maimai, I'm here to sell fish." ”

Mai Mai is a vernacular word meaning aunt.

Aunt Chen became interested and stopped her bicycle, "You sell fish? It just so happens that today is my public memorial day, you pick two large crucian carp for me." ”

Wang Qiang understood as soon as he heard it, the neighbor took care of his business, his face was full of smiles, and he said, "Okay, Mai Mai, I'll pick two bigger ones for you." As he spoke, his eyes turned around in the wooden basin, and he reached out and picked up a chopstick-length crucian carp, then looked at it twice, and once again found a crucian carp of about the same size.

"How much is a pound?" asked Aunt Chen.

Wang Qiang waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll give it to you." ”

Aunt Chen pretended to be pale and said: "I don't want to take money, I will pass it back to the village later, others also say that I take advantage of children, I just heard you shout a piece of five pounds, then come according to this price." ”

Wang Qiang just said politely, now that he is short of money, how can he really give it away in vain, so he threw the fish into the bag first, picked up the rod scale hook on the mouth of the old plastic bag and weighed it, he adjusted the scale, and when the rod scale was still raised high, he handed it to Aunt Chen, "One catty five taels, two pieces of two cents and five, you give me two pieces of two." ”

"Done. Aunt Chen took out a few coins from her pocket, two for one and four for five, "Oh, you count." ”

Wang Qiang took the money, put it in his pocket, and asked, "Can I help you kill the fish?"

Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "You still help kill?"

Uncle Zhai next to him looked up in surprise, when did the fish seller help kill the fish?

Indeed, in this era of a seller's market, not to mention killing fish, chopping pork, and even vegetables, they may all have puree, and everyone does not realize the importance of serving customers.

But Wang Qiang is different, he has experienced the era of the buyer's market, and knows that customer service is an advantage, and in another ten years, it is not uncommon to help kill fish.

"That is, you are my customer now, and the customer is God, and I have to respect God. He smiled and said with a flamboyant tongue.

Aunt Chen smiled happily, "Okay, you can help me kill it." ”

"Okay. Wang Qiang took out the fish from the plastic bag, threw it on the ground, and with a bang, the fish fluttered twice and fainted.

He reached out and picked up the kitchen knife, scraped the scales clean, and finally held down the body of the fish and slashed hard in the middle of the fish's belly.

Aunt Chen hurriedly nagged, "Don't break your guts." ”

Fish gallbladder will be bitter if it is broken, Wang Qiang doesn't know that after he became a family in his previous life, he killed fish and killed less, and he knew what to do, "I know, I know." Ignoring the dirt, he broke open the belly of the fish, pulled out the internal organs, and then ripped off the gills, washed them in a bucket, and put them in a plastic bag again.

The second fish was prepared in the same way.

It didn't take a few minutes.

But in just a few minutes, when he handed the two fish to Aunt Chen, he was surprised to find that the stall was full of people, both men and women, most of whom were elderly.

"Young man, still helping to kill fish?"

"How much is your fish a pound?"

"Bring me two, I said in advance, I have to help kill them, otherwise I won't buy them. ”

A few aunts crowded into the crowd and gossiped.

Uncle Zhai was a little surprised, a small act of helping to kill fish attracted so many customers?

Wang Qiangqiang was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Help kill, help kill, help kill, come one by one." ”

An aunt in a blue shirt said, "Give me five or six small crucian carp, my daughter-in-law has just given birth, and the stewed soup will make up for her." ”

Wang Qiang recommended: "Have a child, then buy a black fish, I happen to have a black fish weighing three or four pounds, do you want to?" He scooped up the black fish, poof, puff, and caused a lot of splash.

The customers took a step back in unison, for fear that the water would get on them.

The blue-shirted aunt smiled when she saw it, "The black fish is good, the black fish is good!" She immediately asked again: "How much is a pound?"

"The black fish is more expensive, and it costs two and a half. Wang Qiang said.

The blue-shirted aunt hesitated.

After chatting with Wang Qiang, Uncle Zhai deliberately coaxed and said: "Your daughter-in-law is reluctant to buy a black fish stew soup when she gives birth to a child, and she will make up for it?" ”

"Yes, Aunt Lin, Xiaohui gave birth to a fat boy for your family, it doesn't cost much to buy a black fish, and I want my daughter-in-law to give birth to a big fat boy, even if she wants to eat dragon meat, I have to get it." The fat aunt with a round face bragged and said, many aunts like to compare, it is estimated that she knows the aunt in the blue shirt, and her words are full of comparison.

It is precisely because of this that she indirectly helped Wang Qiang, and the blue shirt aunt was not happy, and gritted her teeth, "Two pieces of five is two pieces of five, I want this black fish." ”

Wang Qiang hurriedly picked up the rod and weighed it, and handed it to the blue shirt aunt to see, "Four catties and two taels, I count you four catties and ten yuan, okay?"

This will make the blue shirt aunt happy, "Cheng, help kill it." ”

After receiving the money, Wang Qiang was full of enthusiasm to kill the fish.

Seeing that he really helped kill the fish, the people around them rushed to shout.

"I want those two silver carp. ”

"Help me weigh two crucian carp. ”

"Don't rob it, the young man can't be busy, well, I want that silver carp. ”

Business suddenly boomed.

Even though the weather was relatively cold in the morning, Wang Qiang was still sweating profusely under his non-stop work, calling the fish to collect money from time to time, killing fish from time to time, and he was very busy.

Uncle Zhai next to him showed an envious gaze, and at the same time felt that this young man had the brains to endure hardships, even if he still didn't understand why people were eager to help kill fish, but he knew that this method was easy to use, not what Xiao Wang's brain was active in?

Of course, Wang Qiang didn't know what Uncle Zhai was thinking, he had just finished killing a silver carp and handed it to the tall and thin uncle, and then stretched out his arm to wipe the sweat on his face, the business is so good, it is estimated that he can make a lot of money today, his heart is full of satisfaction, come on, and strive to sell all the fish.
