Chapter 223: Customers Are Too Expensive
The first wave of customers was a young couple with a boy of seven or eight years old, who pointed to a fist-sized red pomegranate and excitedly shouted, "Mommy, Mommy, I like to eat pomegranates! These pomegranates are so big, bigger than any pomegranates I've ever seen before!"
When people from the city come to the countryside to travel, they have a sense of superiority, and when they see that their son likes it, the mother asks, "Little friend, how do you sell this pomegranate?"
"My uncle said that everything here is ten dollars a pound. Tong Tong lowered his head a little weakly, quoted a price, and faced his first wave of customers.
"What? Ten yuan a pound? It's more expensive than the city! This kid has learned to rip off customers at such a young age! Let's go and go, we will buy it from other houses, and throw the money into the river, and we won't give it to these black-hearted little liars. The young mother said, pulling the child, and walked forward angrily.
The child's father was more stable, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Children, the pomegranates in the city are only seven or eight yuan a catty, and the pomegranates in the town only sell for five yuan, and you sell for ten yuan, but no one wants to buy them." Pomegranates are just that, the gap is not big, is it possible that such a small watermelon in the garden is also sold for ten yuan a catty?"
Tong Tong blushed and pouted, "My uncle said that our vegetables and fruits are delicious and of good quality, which is why they are sold so expensive. Moreover, fruits and watermelons usually sell for 11 catties, and today we set up a stall to play, and my uncle agreed to reduce the price. ”
"What? Usually one hundred pounds, are you a fool for us?" The child's father was not calm either, his voice was sharply questioned, and he turned his head and left.
However, when I walked to Maomao's stall, out of curiosity, I also asked about the price, and the answer I got was similar, except that I changed "uncle" to "uncle".
After the wave of customers left, the two children looked at each other, and they could see in each other's eyes that they were weak and uneasy.
The second wave of customers consisted of two men, two women, and four elderly people. The clothes and temperament are not ordinary, the crane is childish, well maintained, either holding a professional camera or a lightweight camera phone in his hand, and he has a lot of fun.
"Hehe, little doll, what do you sell?, is it delicious?" a kind old woman bent over. Standing in front of Tong Tong's booth, he asked funny.
"Hello grandma, everything placed here is for sale, but the price is very expensive. Tong Tong cleaned up his mood and held his little head high. replied very politely.
When the old woman heard this, she became even more curious, and asked with a smile: "Oh, what is your method? Could it be that ordinary vegetables and fruits can be sold for gold?"
"My uncle asked me to sell like this, and said that the price was too low and we were not allowed to set up a stall. These and these are sold for ten dollars a pound. Tong Tong pointed to the vegetable and fruit sections. Reluctantly reintroduce the price.
"Ah, ten dollars a catty, it's really not cheap, your uncle must be a greedy ghost. The old woman pretended to be surprised, not like the young couple just now, who spoke sarcastically.
"My uncle is not a greedy ghost, my uncle is usually fine. As soon as Tong Tong heard others say that Li Qingyun was not good, he immediately became angry. "I can give you a little taste if you're too expensive, but I don't like you to say that your uncle is not good." ”
Tong Tong said, taking out a few fresh red dates from his small pocket, which were also produced by the miscellaneous fruit forest behind the hillside, and the dates were not big. Slender and long, like a thumb, with two pointed ends.
The three old men next to him were smiling, and they saw Tong Tong's cute expressions. took the opportunity to take a few photos of her, and when I saw her stretching out her hand and giving them a few fresh red dates to taste, I immediately accepted it with a smile.
But after putting a handful of dates in their mouths and chewing them twice, several old people were suddenly amazed, they had lived all their lives, and they had never eaten such delicious dates. The taste is sweet, the kernel is small and the meat is many, how to chew and how fragrant, I am reluctant to swallow it, but there is a suction force in the throat, and unconsciously, a red date is swallowed, and there is only one jujube core left in the mouth, which exudes a unique fragrance, and I am reluctant to spit it out.
"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious. Little doll, do you still have this kind of red date? Ten yuan a catty, right, we bought them all. An old man said excitedly.
"Yes, yes, I knew that I could eat such delicious red dates in this mountain village, and I would have come from Xiaotangshan a long time ago. Children, what about dates, and other fruits, do they taste just as good?"
Several old people, gossiping, and their enthusiasm for fruits almost scared Tong Tong.
Finally waiting for a few old people to calm down, Tong Tong said with a weak heart and apology: "Grandpa and grandma, I'm really sorry, these red dates are too few picked today, they were picked by my uncle and brought them for us to eat, and they are not enough to sell." Otherwise, I'll give you all the dates in my pocket. ”
After speaking, Tong Tong pitifully took out more than 20 red or green dates from his two pockets, held them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to several old people.
A few old people were really embarrassed to snatch the children's snacks to eat, but the dates they tasted just now were so delicious that they couldn't bear it, so they took the dates in Tong Tong's hand, and then thought in their hearts, no matter how unpalatable the other fruits were, they had to buy some to comfort the kind little girl.
So each old man picked up an apple, a pomegranate, a small watermelon, a persimmon, a large pear, and an orange...... Put the fruits picked out of the miscellaneous fruit forest, one for each of each, and put them in a convenient bag by yourself, so as to save the tired little doll. Some people also think that the small watermelon is too heavy, and the others are picked, and only the small watermelon is missing.
"Okay, we're still going to be around the neighborhood, so we can't buy too much. Since your fruit is all for the same price, let's pick one of each. Little doll, you help us weigh and calculate the money. Several old people said.
"Weigh, yes, I will, my uncle just taught me. When Tong Tong saw that these kind old people really bought their own "high-priced" fruits, he immediately blushed with excitement, and carefully put the fruits in the convenient bag on the tray.
Pallet scales are based on kilograms, but in rural areas, they are all modulated pallet scales, which have become city catties, and the pointer points to a few, which is a few catties, and there is no need to multiply two to convert kilograms into city catties.
"Grandma, you added watermelon, it's a bit heavy, a total of eight catties and six taels, forget the fraction, a total of eighty yuan. Tong Tong pointed to the pointer on the pallet scale and said seriously.
The old woman smiled and said, "Haha, the little girl is so generous, then thank you." You weigh first, and after you weigh it, we all pay together. ”
The next thing is simple, there are two more than six catties, one is more than five catties, and the extra fractions are all omitted. In fact, Tong Tong is not good at fractions, so he makes his own decisions and erases the fractions.
But how can these old people let the children suffer, the last four people calculated that the two hundred and fifty yuan, the old man said that this number is not good, so he made up a whole number, gave Tong Tong three hundred, and did not let her find it.
Tong Tong is still a child after all, seeing that the old man really paid the money, he held up three red bills and shouted excitedly, and showed off to Mao Mao, who was hot next to him: "Mao Mao, look, I finally sold it, and I sold it for three hundred yuan at once, I have never taken so much money! Haha, I won today, but don't be sad, it's a big deal to pay you back two lollipops." ”
"Hmph, I don't want you! This is just the beginning, and I won't admit defeat lightly. Mao Mao waved his little fist angrily, deliberately not looking at Tong Tong.
The four old men walked away with a smile, each carrying a few pounds of fruit, and they didn't have any difficulty at all. As you walk, you will get ready to go to a beautiful place, and you will come down to eat some fruit and rest your feet by the way.
The next business fell into a dull situation again, and as soon as the customers heard that the price of her fruits was ten yuan a catty, they all turned around and left, and even some of them were short-tempered, and they would scold in a low voice. Because in the local area, ordinary apples are only two more than one catty, and fruits like persimmons, which have poor circulation, are only sold for one piece and one catty.
At this time, it was already more than ten o'clock, and Yu Jun, the boss of the Fish King of Sichuan Mansion, and a slightly chubby old man in his sixties combed his big back hair, but the hair on his head was relatively sparse. The two of them walked on the side of the road, pointing to the surrounding scenery, talking and laughing as they walked, and both of them seemed to be in a good mood. It was followed by two cars, quietly, not daring to make a little noise.
"Sell fruits, fragrant and sweet fruits, all fruits are ten yuan a catty, guaranteed to be delicious, not delicious and no money. Mao Mao was in a hurry, in order to be able to open his business, he actually learned the camera on TV and shouted.
The chubby old man put his hands behind his back and said with a very imposing smile: "Xiaoyu, you said that the people in this mountain are simple, I don't think so." Look at it, such a big little doll, just the age of kindergarten, comes out to deceive people. I know very well the price of fruit here, what kind of fruit can be sold for ten yuan a catty? Mangoes and pomegranates in the town only sell for six or seven yuan a catty. ”
Yu Jun looked at the vegetables and fruits in front of the two children, and said with a very mysterious smile: "Uncle Lu, I want to make a bet with you." The stakes are simple, you'll taste the fruit this kid sells, and I promise you'll think it's worth the price. If you win, I'll give you ten free coupons for the Fish King of Chuanfu. If you lose, rewrite a signboard for our Sichuan Fish King. ”
"Haha, you kid, you seem to be very confident. The old man surnamed Lu chatted happily with Yu Jun, and he didn't care about this bet, and said with a smile, "I can't weaken my momentum and bet with you." ”
Because there were more fruits piled up in front of Maomao, the two of them went to Maomao's stall.
"Little friend, how about tasting an orange for grandpa?" Although the old man surnamed Lu made himself smile very kindly, the momentum on his body was too fierce, and the pressure on Mao Mao was not small.
"Okay, okay...... But if you taste it, you'll have to buy it. I've been sitting all morning, and it's not open yet. Mao Mao complained dissatisfiedly, picked a big orange orange and handed it to the old man.
"Hehe, you little ghost, how can grandpa eat your oranges for nothing?" said the old man surnamed Lu, peeling off the orange peel, taking out a petal of orange, and putting it in his mouth.
