Chapter 260: Farmers' Trade Fair Tasting
Li Qingyun bought a sheep and raised it in a small space overnight. This night is equivalent to about five days in the real world, and the sheep was fed vegetables and grass in the space to improve its meat quality as much as possible.
However, the time was a little tight, and he killed it as soon as it was dawn, and used the spirit body to cut the mutton into thin slices in a small space. A pot of soup made with lamb bones and grass carp is used for later use, with a spicy low ingredient and wild dried mushrooms, which can be poured into the hot pot when you arrive at the exhibition hall.
In addition to this special hot pot, there is also a clear water hot pot, which allows vegetable merchants to taste the original vegetables, so that the quality of the vegetables can be tasted more clearly.
Li Qingyun originally came to the agricultural trade fair alone, but he thought that it didn't matter if he failed, at least no one knew. However, when my cousin Yang Yunu heard about it, she wanted to come over, saying that the environmental protection company had no business in winter, and it was a little incredible to think about planting aquatic plants in winter. Now it has been paid attention to by many environmental protection companies, and if it can still grow patches of vigorous aquatic plants in winter, it may be sliced and studied.
Since my cousin said so, what else could Li Qingyun say, so he immediately agreed, told her the specific address, and if she couldn't find it, she would call again. Anyway, this farmer's fair will have three days, and some will be time.
When Li Qingyun arrived at the agricultural trade fair, he found that one person was really too busy, and at least two or three people had to be used. Some people have to introduce vegetables to customers, some people have to share vegetables for customers, and some people have to be responsible for negotiating cooperation......
Li Qingyun prepared two hot pots and placed them in a corner of the booth for customers to compare and taste. Washed and sliced lamb was also put on a plate, vegetables like lettuce, spinach, chrysanthemum, coriander, baby cabbage, lotus root slices, potato chips, etc. Whatever you want, as long as you have something in the ground, you can put it out. There are not many lotus roots, and they are still the best vegetables grown in his small space, all for the sake of flavor.
Therefore, as soon as his hot pot was opened, the fragrance wafted far away, and before the customers officially entered, they lured other merchants and staff to drool.
"What kind of fragrance is this? It's so fragrant, I ate two steamed buns in the morning. But when I smell it. My stomach growled, and I just wanted to run over and taste it. A staff member whispered to a colleague next to him.
The colleague pointed to the display case of Qingyu Farm and whispered: "It's the fragrance coming from there, I helped them hang advertising posters yesterday." Their boss gave me two cucumbers. At that time, a few of us secretly laughed at the stinginess of the boss. If you don't give a red envelope, forget it. I want to give more vegetables to my home, but I am reluctant to give more. But when we were busy eating the cucumber, it tasted amazing. Now that I think about it, I want to get my tongue off. ”
"Isn't it so amazing? When there are a lot of customers, I'll come over and try it. The man said drooling.
"Don't be found out by the director, because the relationship between this farm is hard, and the director doesn't dare to offend him. The colleague reminded.
There are many people with similar thoughts, and even the two people from Shouyao Farm, which is diagonally opposite, are so hungry by the smell of hot pot.
Qin Yao complained: "I asked you to prepare a hot pot, but you only prepared a clear water pot, and said that the vegetables are still good in the original flavor, and you don't want to think about what is delicious about the original vegetables." You see, he prepared a hot pot, and before it started, it attracted everyone's attention. ”
Xu Jingshou said disapprerovingly: "We are here to sell vegetables, not hot pot." He Li Qingyun relied on the base of hot pot to attract customers, but he forgot his main sales target. Hmph, when the customer doesn't feel the advantage of his vegetables, his thoughts will be in vain, and it will only add to the joke. I bet that the more customers like to eat his hot pot, the less they will feel the good of his vegetables, because the ingredients of the hot pot will destroy the flavor of the vegetables themselves. ”
"Bet and bet, and I don't know what to bet on. What else can you bet on now?" Qin Yao inadvertently revealed the resentment in her heart.
Xu Jingshou was silent, turned around to move vegetables, and did not quarrel with her.
After the opening of the agricultural fair, there were many people who came to visit, in addition to potential vegetable merchants and heads of agricultural trading companies, as well as some journalists from the news media.
Li Qingyun's hot pot really brought him a lot of popularity, and after tasting it, he was full of praise. But when I asked the price, I immediately scared many people, because the cheapest vegetables start at 10 yuan, if it is a farmer's trading company, you can consider the specific cooperation price, there is a reserve price, but also a share price.
Ordinary customers don't have anything for ten yuan a pound of vegetables, because they think they are delicious, so they buy some and eat them back. It's mainly for early adopters, not to buy in large quantities, and it doesn't take a few dollars to buy ten catties and twenty catties.
Therefore, ordinary customers who taste the special delicacy of vegetables can't wait to buy them when they leave, so they pay directly and ask for ten or more than twenty catties, if they are not afraid of not being able to carry them, they will probably buy more. However, Li Qingyun saw this momentum and immediately limited his purchase, because the sample vegetables he brought were not enough for these enthusiastic customers to buy. A maximum of ten catties per person, and if there is more, it will not be sold.
If nothing else, at least we have to survive today. Go back to Lijiazhai at night and pull another cart of vegetables over. Eggs are also scarce, an egg is priced at ten yuan, and there are customers who want to try it out. This egg is limited to ten per person.
There's no way, there are too many rich people, and after tasting the hot pot he made, I don't care about the hundreds of dollars at all, I think it's worth it. It seems that the rich people in the city eat too many vegetables grown by chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and occasionally taste the best vegetables, and they can also distinguish the good from the bad. Usually, when I buy vegetables in the vegetable market, it is not that I can't tell the difference, but the whole market is made of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and I can't tell the good ones.
However, after a few potential vegetable merchants asked about the price, they immediately lowered their faces and said: "The wholesale price given to us is actually higher than ten yuan, which is too." We also watched from the side for a while, and ordinary customers said that they could accept the price of about 10 yuan, but the wholesale price you gave us was 10 yuan, so what money do we make? As for the so-called later share, it is even more nonsense, and we will never agree to it. ”
As he spoke, the vegetable merchant patted the display cabinet and walked to Shouyao Farm diagonally opposite, because the target address of this farm is also Qinglong Town. This vegetable merchant thinks that the green vegetables grown in the same town should be similar.
But after he poured a few green vegetables in the pot of clear water with great anticipation, he suddenly made a bitter face, forcibly endured the huge difference in taste, and swallowed those few green vegetables.
He glanced at Xu Jingshou and Qin Yao, and muttered, "Why is there such a big difference between the vegetables from the same town? His dish can be sold for ten yuan, and your dish can only be used as an ordinary dish, and it is not even more than an ordinary dish." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the two to explain, turned around and left. He is not in a hurry, the three-day farmers' fair has just begun, and he has time to choose the right farm as a supplier.
"Hey, how do you talk, if you like it, you can order it, and don't hurt people if you don't like it. Xu Jingshou was furious, ran out of the showcase, and reasoned with the person. Being devalued in front of a woman is too hurtful to self-esteem.
The vegetable merchant's ears were sharp, and after hearing it, he turned around and said disdainfully: "Don't be unconvinced, what I said is the truth." If you don't believe it, try it yourself. ”
"......" Xu Jing was speechless, really embarrassed to taste Li Qingyun's vegetables. It's just that the vegetable merchant's words are like a thorn in his body, making him uncomfortable all over.
One person said he might not believe it, but then many people said something similar, and he couldn't stand it. stared hatefully at the lively scene on Li Qingyun's side, but on his side, it was still deserted, and occasionally customers came to taste it, and they would leave quickly.
"Why don't I go over and bring a few green vegetables over to taste it? Anyway, there are a lot of people, and Li Qingyun may not be able to see me. Besides, what if he sees it, can he still beat me?" Qin Yao said to the man next to him with a bit of vigor.
"Then ...... Take some and taste it......" Xu Jingshou said with difficulty. Asking your girlfriend to steal from her ex-boyfriend's showcase is like asking her to accompany her, and it's hard to explain.
Qin Yao also seemed to sense Xu Jingshou's strange feelings, but she still turned around and walked into the crowd and secretly moved towards the vicinity of the two hot pots. Seeing that he was about to get a few green vegetables, he saw a beautiful girl walking up to Li Qingyun, and the two smiled sweetly, with indescribable tenderness and sweetness in their smiles.
Qin Yao seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and immediately retracted his hand, lowered his head, and withdrew from the crowd. She has never hated herself back then, hated her mother back then, this humiliation is self-inflicted, the more this is the case, but the more painful it is.
Yang Yunu smiled and said a few words to Li Qingyun, and then said: "I seem to have seen Qin Yao just now, she came to our showcase, did she want to taste our vegetables? You are too stingy, if she really wants to eat, you can give her a few boxes, I am not such a stingy person, I won't blame you." ”
Li Qingyun was so busy that he noticed Qin Yao, and when he heard what his cousin said, he was stunned: "Why didn't I see it?" Their display cabinet is opposite, just come over and say hello if you want to eat." Now that we have become enemies, I will not refuse to ask for something to eat, because even if a beggar comes to beg for food, I will give it some. Since they are sneaky and do unsightly things all day long, I have to pretend that I can't see them. ”
"That's the case, then forget it, just think about it. Yang Yunu smiled happily, and didn't take the matter seriously, she took Li Qingyun's place and greeted potential customers in the showcase.
And Li Qingyun went to the small round table behind the display cabinet to discuss cooperation with several vegetable vendors. Unfortunately, there are two small farmer trading companies that are willing to buy his vegetables at a price of 10 yuan a catty, but they will never agree to share it later. How many vegetables they sell belong to the agricultural trading company, and they have nothing to do with Li Qingyun, and they won't give him a dime more.
Li Qingyun sighed, it is really difficult to find a vegetable merchant as atmospheric as Sun Guozhong of Dahua Commerce, if Dahua Commerce and Trade does not have an accident, he will be ready to contract another mountain to grow fruits and vegetables next year. However, now there is no good market for the vegetables grown on a small hill, and the expansion has to be put on hold.
At this moment, several foreigners appeared in front of Li Qingyun's display case, along with two translators. The participation of foreigners in the agricultural trade fair held by the Chinese is quite eye-catching, and these foreigners seem to have a lot of style, and they seem to have some status.
