Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Lotus Root Goes on the Market
Today, Wang Hongxing brought Wang Hongqing, Wang Hongjie, Wang Hongxiang and his sister-in-law Chen Yunshan to help Liu Yujin get up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info They work here, regardless of the day, in terms of catties, a pound of lotus root gives five cents of hard work. Several uncles and brothers with a brother-in-law, while trying not to break the lotus root knot, gently dismantle the lotus root with their feet (that is, one foot stands to support the gravity of the whole body, and the other foot slowly opens from beginning to end along the gap between the lotus root and the soil, and then holds the two ends of a long string of lotus roots with both hands and one-third of them, and scoops the lotus root up from the mud. In this way, it is not easy to break the whole string of lotus roots!), while talking with great interest: "The eldest brother-in-law's family is really good to raise this lotus root! One after another, I don't dare to step on this foot casually, for fear of stepping on the lotus root and breaking it." ”
"When I just went into the water, I accidentally stepped on a lotus root, but the eldest brother-in-law said that it was okay, and when we left, I would take it home and give it to the children as snacks. ”
Wang Hongxing was a little unhappy when he heard the fourth brother say this. This is just the beginning of the work, I want to go to my own house to catch things, the number of times, if this eldest sister-in-law responds, maybe this job will not be done by them. However, now in front of the eldest sister-in-law, I can't make it clear to the fourth brother, so I can only wait for the work to come home and then explain to them one by one.
Now, Liu Yujin didn't dare to raise too much, and when it came to five hundred catties, he asked everyone to go ashore, and he couldn't afford it.
Wang Hongxing has risen more than 100 catties in a short time, and he can earn five yuan, and he is working hard! The eldest sister-in-law shouted that it was enough, and he couldn't afford it.
"Eldest sister-in-law, I've just gotten off the field, why can't I get up?"
"Tomorrow on the first day of sale, I don't know what the situation is, I can't get too much. ”
Chen Yunshan helped the eldest brother-in-law speak: "Big brother, the eldest brother-in-law is right, this first day of sale, you have to explore what price you want, whether it is good or not, you can't get too much." Otherwise, when people buy things, when they see so many lotus roots, the seller must be in a hurry to sell them, and then they will not be able to sell them at a good price!"
Liu Yujin didn't expect this, but after listening to Lian Lian's words, his heart was excited. Yun Shan is really right, if there are many lotus roots, the people who buy them will definitely want to sell them at home, and the price will be cut down. It seems that tomorrow cannot be all put on the table at once, but can only be placed on the table little by little.
Master Xu's tractor bucket, Liu's home decoration of goods more and more, and more and more full. However, Master Xu never had the intention of raising prices. He is here in Liu's house, and he earns 300 yuan a month without being able to beat a stick, and now he has been running the county for a long time, and people often agree with him to bring coal from the county seat in the morning, pick up people or something, which is another income. Just running one line, he can earn 500 yuan a month, not counting the freight of pulling bricks in the afternoon. His monthly income this month is as high as the income of many people in a year, if he is greedy to add money and force Liu Yujin to buy a tractor by himself, it will be more than worth the loss.
Seeing that Liu Yujin had more newly dug lotus roots, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yu Jin! You still have the ability! Some of the livestock at home are sold every season, and there are also gourds that are also being sold, and they are making money every day, and this lotus root has come up again and started to make money, I think that! You don't have to worry about having no income all year round!"
In fact, Liu Yujin also sells yellow eels, loaches, and Wang Ba, he knows it, but Liu Yujin covers those baskets tightly, so he understands what Liu Yujin means, and he doesn't see it. As for the eggs, every time he arrived at the fork in the road of the Wang family, he had to bring the goods of the Wang family, and he thought that all the eggs belonged to the Wang family. The rice is also covered, he really doesn't know that Liu Yujin still sells rice by the way. How many fields Liu Yujin's family has, they are in a production group, it is impossible not to know. He carries a handful of rice every day, and he doesn't even think about it.
Selling lotus root on the first day today is a big deal for Liu Yujin, so he personally followed him to the county seat. First put four rows of unbroken lotus roots on the bright side, washed clean, white and shiny, who likes it. Among the prices of seven cents a pound of green vegetables, lotus root costs five cents a pound, which is definitely super expensive. But not long after they put it on the table, they sold eight lotus roots in a row. It's all the kind that one person buys a section that weighs about one and a half pounds, so it can be seen that there are many people who buy it. After selling for an hour, Liu Yujin threw the stall to Hong Shun and Shounan, and he and Chengshu took the things sent to the guest house and various canteens to deliver the goods, and by the way, the family gave two sections of lotus root, let them see the sample, whether they want it or not, they can have a number today.
As soon as the big fat man saw this white and tender high-quality lotus root, his happy mouth smiled crookedly: "Xiao Liu! You have some ability! This lotus root is better than the first-class lotus root given to us from other places!"
As he spoke, he picked up a lotus root (the most tender section of lotus root) and poured it with water, put it in his mouth and took a bite, chew it, chew it: "Well, sweet, crisp, not astringent, no scum, your lotus root variety is very good, where did you get the seeds? What is the name?"
"Ahh I only know that they are all called lotus roots, and I really don't know what other names they have!"
The big fat man remembered that Liu Yujin was a rural mud turner, and he planted lotus root blindly, if he wanted to say how many varieties of lotus root there were, he might not really know. Thinking about this, I stopped asking about this very professional thing, and began to negotiate the price and the amount I needed every day.
won one, and Liu Yujin's confidence increased by one point. It's just that except for the hotels and restaurants that are open to the public, the amount required is slightly larger, and the canteens of the factories are not good. is so expensive, and so weighed (the meaning of proportional weight), a section is more than a catty, and no one in the factory canteen can afford to eat. There may be individual cadres who may ask for it, but it will only be once or twice in three or five days, and such a small demand is almost nothing.
However, even if this is the case, Liu Yujin's harvest today is very great. Even counting the retail sales in the market, the sales volume of 500 catties a day is no problem at all.
On the return car in the afternoon, although Hong Shun and Shounan were very excited, they wanted to talk to Liu Yujin about the excitement when they were selling lotus roots in the market today. And because Liu Yujin has explained before, no matter what kind of business, don't say that it is good to do and make money in front of others. The two of them looked at each other anxiously, and said a dumb language that only the two of them could understand. Liu Yujin knew that these two people were immature people, and he didn't care about them, so he was in a hurry.
After getting off the bus from town, on the way, the two were finally released:
"Uncle Cousin, after you left, more people came to buy lotus roots. We said before that five cents a pound is expensive, but among the people who bought it, some of them actually said that it was cheap, and they should buy more!"
"Yes, brother-in-law, this lotus root is much easier to sell than a cucumber, and the amount can be doubled tomorrow. ”
