Chapter 8: The First Pot of Gold

Li Xian's shouting attracted the attention of many people.

It's just a pity that the attraction is not the walnut skin that hasn't opened the bag yet, but the price that Li Xian shouted out.

When I heard the price of two dollars a catty, someone immediately shouted;

"What is this playing? A broken walnut peel took three days, from two cents a pound to five cents a pound. It went from five cents a pound to a dollar a pound. Now, it's okay, two dollars a pound! Why don't you go and rob the road?"

I just didn't know that this thing could prevent cancer, otherwise I would have gone to the mountains on Saturdays and Sundays to pick up a basket. When will this thing be more expensive?"

Hearing Li Xian shouting at the top of his voice, the small stall vendor he went to investigate just now heard such a shout, while giving a name to the people who were muttering, and at the same time feeling unhappy in his heart for someone to rob his business. He also shouted at the top of his voice, as if he had to shout: "Walnut peel Walnut peel!

With Li Xian's high price comparison, the stall's business seems to be a little hot again.

But it didn't take long for the walnut peels on his stall to see the bottom - no way, after hearing that walnut peels were popular in the city, even if he went up the mountain non-stop, he only picked so much.

At this time, although the walnuts on the mountain are still hanging on the trees, the skin and leaves have rotted and peeled off under the action of high temperature.

Seeing that Li Xian shouted the price at the top of his voice and no one came, an old man selling eggs beside him pinched a cigarette roll, came over, and taught in the tone of a passerby: "Young man, you don't know how to do business." People sell it for a pound over there, and you just came here to sell it for two dollars, isn't that boring?"

I didn't drink water in the morning, and after shouting a few times, Li Xian felt that his throat was a little dry. Seeing the old man coming to preach, he smiled and said, "Uncle, this thing is different from something. The same is to spend money to marry a daughter-in-law, and there are ugly and handsome. Is this the reason?"

Hearing Li Xian's crooked reasoning, the old man scoffed: "A walnut skin, what difference can it have?"

At this time, the walnut skins on the stall had already been sold. There are a few left, mostly some of the goods that have rotted so much that they are black pulp when you grab them with your hands. Such a thing, let alone a dollar, no one wants a dime.

But the problem is that there were so many people around the stall just now, and some people didn't buy it.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian knew that his opportunity had come.

"Walnut skin, dried walnut skin! Two dollars a catty, buy five catties and get one catty!"

He shouted again, pulling his throat.

The people who bought it naturally disdained this, but the people who didn't buy it, after repeated hesitation, also slowly came over.

Li Xian hurriedly opened the bag in front of him, cut Aunt Ma neatly, and spread the dried walnut skin on the ground.

Originally, those who didn't buy walnut peels came with the mentality of visiting. After all, based on the price at this time, a pound of eggs is only six cents. The average salary of an employee of the Forestry Bureau is only about 100 yuan a month.

Two dollars a pound is not something that everyone can afford.

But seeing the appearance of walnut skin, many people became interested;

"Hey, don't say it, this walnut skin looks really good!"

Immediately, a middle-aged woman squatted in front of Li Xian, picked up a handful of walnut skins and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a moment, the woman raised her face, "Brother, two dollars is too expensive." Give my sister a cheaper, won't you?"

Li Xian squinted and smiled: "Eldest sister, you are optimistic." I didn't bring water, I washed it and dried it. One pound of fresh skin and two pounds are more. To tell you the truth, I'm just so much, I can't sell it. The price of two pounds is already the end, not to mention that if you buy more, buy five pounds and get one pound free. ”

The woman looked at the walnut skin in her hand, thought about it, and finally made up her mind: "That's okay!

"Gotcha!" Li Xian smiled and kicked Li Pi, who was watching the Western scenery on the side, "Weigh six catties for the eldest sister!"

"Ahh......h

This...... It can really sell for money!

Although I feel that the price is a bit high, under the corresponding influence of the two articles of the previous Forest Labor Daily, people's demand for walnut skin is still quite large.

If you have that money is not bad, you can directly choose to buy five and get one free if you are hungry. But more than that, it's those who are shy in their pockets. However, in the face of Li Xian's benefit of buying five and getting one free, many people still started to think about how to save money.

Li Xian clearly saw that several people who had failed to bargain many times and hesitated for a long time withdrew from the crowd. He smiled secretly, feeling that his strategy should have worked.

Sure enough, after a short while, those familiar faces returned. This time, they were quite righteous, and directly handed over a few stacked gross tickets, "Wow! Give me ten yuan!"

You don't need to ask Li Xian to know that this must be to save people.

……

Buy five get one free, this is a way for Li Xian to expand his sales channels quickly.

This feels like a spell, the more you spell, the wider your sales will be. One pass ten ten spread hundreds, that's the truth.

For a whole afternoon, more and more people gathered in front of the tricycle. By 5 p.m., when all the units of the Forestry Bureau were off work, the number of people in front of the tricycle had peaked. And most of them came with three or five people, and after they came, they didn't say much, as if they already knew a lot about the rules, and they directly handed over ten yuan and asked for five catties.

Li Xian is responsible for collecting the money, and Li Pi is responsible for weighing. After a busy afternoon, the sweat on the faces of the two of them and the dust drew furrows on their faces.

But whether it was Li Pi, who was doing business for the first time, or Li Xian, who had carefully planned all this, he was excited when he saw a stack of gross tickets handed over at this time.

It wasn't until after six o'clock, when the sun had set, that the two took a breath.

When it came slowly, a round or three of bags was left, and now there was a scattered bottom. It is estimated that it is more than ten pounds.

Li Xian took out the thick pile of hair-wilted tickets that he had already grasped in his hand and the two piles of bulging in his trouser pockets, and counted them together. I found that in this afternoon, I sold more than 1,400 yuan!

Seeing such a huge amount of money, Li Pi was stunned: "Second, second, second brother...... We've sent it!"

Li Xian was also quite satisfied, "That's right." ”

On the side, looking at the pile of thick tickets in Li Xian's hand, the old man who sold eggs pulled the hat off his head, waved his hand to his wife, and greeted: "Don't sell it, close the stall!"
