Chapter 22 Booths
Out of the market, Liu Yujin asked Wang Hongshun with a smile: "Second brother, you can put it on such a good stall on the first day, are you giving people money?"
Wang Hongshun walked side by side with Liu Yujin with an empty burden, listened to his brother-in-law's question, and shook his head: "No! When I was selling chickens outside, an uncle happened to be about to finish selling vegetables, so he beckoned me to come in and sell chickens and eggs in his seat. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info That's his fixed seat, and he doesn't want my money, just let me give him two eggs. ”
Liu Yujin nodded, thinking in his heart, it is said that more than a dime in the morning is not a small amount, but if you count the cost of eggs, it means that you don't ask for money. In addition, if they want to do this business for a long time, it is better to have a fixed position, so that they can return customers.
"Hong Shun, do you have any thoughts about what you are doing in this business today?"
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"
"Do you want to do it for a long time?"
Although Wang Hongshun is a little worried about doing this business for a long time, he is still more eager. Although he hadn't had time to count how much money was in the cloth bag, he roughly calculated that he had earned fifteen yuan on this trip today. If you do this every day, it will be more than 400 yuan a month. The workers in this city only earn thirty or forty yuan a month, and he earns more than ten workers. How could he not want to work for a long time?
"Yes!"
"If you want to think about it, you have to be like the uncle who gave way to you, and get a fixed seat. I've inquired about this market, and only those facades cost money. Stalls like this one don't cost money, but they have to be placed in a fixed seat set by others. If you can come and sell things every day, you have to go to someone's office and register. In this case, whenever you come, the person who occupies your seat will have to get out of the way for you. ”
Wang Hongshun scratched his head and asked very incomprehensibly: "Since you don't want money, why don't others occupy all the stalls?"
"No! You have to register once a month, and you have to pay a fee when you register, and if you don't have anything to sell, who will spend money to register a stall?"
The market here can only be regarded as the prototype of the formal farmers' market in the future. Since the fall of ***, political pressure has been eliminated, but the lives of the people have not improved much. People living on the outskirts of the city will pick up some home-grown crops from their homes or exchange them for money or sell them. Perhaps it is the experience accumulated by the people themselves, anyway, there are more and more vegetable farmers gathered at the gates of major factories in the city, so that it affects the commuting and commuting of workers in the factory. I don't know how other factories handled it, but after the meeting of the factory standing committee members here, they did not rudely drive away these farmers who sold vegetables, but instead carved out a place against the courtyard wall of the factory, enclosed it with a wooden fence, and left an entrance and exit for the peasants to set up vegetable stalls and sell things. Later, there were even state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives that also set up a point here, and with the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives, there were grocery stores and breakfast stores one after another, and this market really became the climate.
Because the flow of people in the market is getting bigger and bigger, there will be endless disputes every day because of the quarrels over the stalls, for the quarrels of the lack of catties and pounds, for the quarrels of more money and less money, and the quarrels of you touching me and rubbing you, there will be endless disputes every day. The factory was forced to arrange for someone to manage the market and deal with disputes. This is the market office, and there are only two people in the office, who are retired officers of the factory Standing Committee. The factory doesn't care about money, and these two officials don't care about money even if they have a pension, but in order to prevent someone from dominating their seats without setting up a stall, they will ask for registration once a month and give a handling fee of two yuan.
Hearing that there was going to be a handling fee, Wang Hongshun was also a little hesitant: "How much do you have to give? Why don't you talk to them tonight and let them discuss!?"
Liu Yujin also knew that Wang Hongshun was talented, so he immediately asked him to set up a stall on this day, which was indeed unstable. As for the handling fee he asked, he didn't know, so he replied: "I didn't ask how much the handling fee, every time I came to sell ducks, it was too early anyway, and it was useless to ask for a stall, so I didn't think about doing this." You don't have to do it for a few days, and if you have a score in mind, you can get an idea when you go back and discuss it with them. ”
Wang Hongshun was lazy on all fours but active in his brain, listened to his brother-in-law's words, nodded his head and said, "Hmm": "If I were to do it alone, I would be willing to ask for a stall to sell eggs for a long time." It's just that you also know that if you don't want money with your eldest brother and younger brothers, they won't say anything, and once you get involved in money, they will always be unhappy. So, I thought about going back and telling them, if they really don't want to, I want to go it alone, and I'm afraid that I will need your brother-in-law to help me get some capital. ”
"That's right if you have that idea, and I say you should do it separately. lest I suffer a loss when I get a few brothers, and no one who you ask for a bargain will accept anyone, and make trouble and make enemies!"
Wang Hongshun sighed: "Who said no! But Uncle insisted that we do it together, and I objected, but no one listened to me, and they all seemed to be taking me." I don't know what to do!"
Liu Yujin can roughly understand the thoughts of the old man, but he can't say whether it is right or wrong. Thinking of Hong Shun's busy appearance just now, he asked curiously, "Why did you come alone?" None of them wanted to come with them to help?"
"That's not it! I was reluctant to pay more than a dollar for the fare, so I didn't let the fifth and sixth follow!"
The two walked while talking, and unconsciously walked to the place of the station, and asked the time to go back, only to know that the train would not leave until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hong Shun, don't wait for the car, I'll take you on a bicycle!"
can save more than a dollar in fare, Wang Hongshun naturally can't ask for it. Hang the two frames on the outside of the bicycle, hold the flat pole in your hand, and happily jump on the back seat of the bicycle. Liu Yujin only shook it twice, and then went on the road steadily.
"Brother-in-law, you ride this bike well, when did you learn it?"
Liu Yujin was a little proud, "That's it! Minghua and Guixiang are studying in middle school, didn't the brigade care about the pick-up, so I learned to ride a bicycle with others and delivered food at home." This bike is very easy to learn, I only learned it for half a day. I've been riding for more than half a year, and I've only had the opportunity to ride a bicycle once in ten days, and you see me now, don't I also ride well!"
Wang Hongshun laughed admiringly in the back, paused for a while, and said with some envy: "I don't know when I will be able to earn enough money to buy a bicycle?"
"With today's momentum, you may be able to save enough by the end of the year, but it's hard to get a bike ticket. However, it's not very useful for you to have a bicycle, and you've seen it on this road, so bumpy! You can't take an egg with you. ”
Wang Hongshun knew that what his brother-in-law said was reasonable, but he really wanted to have a bicycle!
