Chapter 17 Purchasing and Insight

Uncle Wang looked at Lao Guo, Lao Guo looked at Uncle Wang, the two looked at each other and smiled: Haha, don't talk about that useless, come, let's fill the wine, today we also enjoy the treatment of the county magistrate, usually no one has eaten so much delicious food, drink this kind of good wine, today we have wine and food, and we are also addicted to the old man.

Lao Guo said: Yes, there is wine today and drunk today, it doesn't matter who he is tomorrow, come, Lao Wang, let's take a sip.

Uncle Wang smiled and said: Yes, we drink ours, regardless of who else is.

This meal was drunk for a long time, Uncle Wang said a lot of words to let Lao Guo take care of Tiancheng in the middle of the way, Lao Guo too, signed a promise, and said that the more the two of them talked, the more they drank, the less the wine was drunk, and finally drank the wine in the middle of the night, and Uncle Wang said to Lao Guo: You will deal with me tonight for a night, if you go home now, you will get up if you don't rest well.

Lao Guo replied with a smile: Yes, I have to go to the market tomorrow morning to buy vegetables, so I will disturb you.

Uncle Wang said: It's okay, I can sleep during the day, you can sleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and at five o'clock the next morning, Lao Guo got up, and then called Tiancheng up, and said to Tiancheng: Today is the first day of work, you go grocery shopping with me first, while talking, Lao Guo took Tiancheng out, and said to Uncle Wang when he left: Lao Wang, I took Tiancheng to buy vegetables.

Uncle Wang replied: Go ahead, pay attention to safety on the road.

Lao Guo said: Got it, by the way, Lao Wang, do you want me to bring you something?

Uncle Wang said: Okay, you can bring me some sweet potatoes, just so I will roast sweet potatoes for you to eat.

Lao Guo smiled: I knew that you were going to buy sweet potatoes, and I had already written them down.

Uncle Wang smiled and said: Okay, you go early and come back early, and I will roast sweet potatoes for you to eat when you come back.

Lao Guo smiled and agreed, and then took Tiancheng to go out, Lao Guo took Tiancheng to the garage, Lao Guo said, I will take you to buy vegetables, and then ride a motorcycle with Tiancheng to the farmers' market, the farmers' market is not very far from the county government, and it will arrive soon, Lao Guo asked Tiancheng: Will you ride a motorcycle, Tiancheng?

Tiancheng smiled and replied: I don't know how to ride a motorcycle Uncle Guo, what's wrong Uncle Guo?

Lao Guo said: When it's okay, I'll teach you to ride a motorcycle, and if I have something to do in the future, I will leave the matter of buying vegetables to you, and I can't ride a motorcycle.

Tiancheng nodded and agreed: Okay Uncle Guo, when I learn to ride a motorcycle, I will be left to sell vegetables in the future.

Lao Guo smiled and said: It's not enough to just ride a motorcycle, but also learn to look at the freshness of each vegetable and the texture of each vegetable.

Tiancheng asked: What is a nickname, Uncle Guo?

Lao Guo replied: The nickname means that the portion is insufficient.

Lao Guo continued: Because they are businessmen, only in this way can they make money, but they will not give too little, so ah, it is common to give nicknames, and it is also tacitly approved by the market, this is an immutable law, but there are exceptions, just like when we go to buy vegetables now, they basically give us a full pound of two.

Tiancheng asked: Why, Uncle Guo?

Lao Guo said: Because we are frequent customers, because we have to go to that house every day to buy, if the thing is the same thing, one more and one less, where do you want to go?

Tiancheng replied: Of course, there are many of them.

Lao Guo smiled, and then said: That's right, you think so, everyone thinks so, but in that case, the vegetable seller won't make money, right?

Tiancheng said: Yes, then those people will not make money, and he will sell them to us?

Lao Guo replied: This is the business experience, although it is a full catty, but they are at least less wasteful, do you know, if the daily vegetables can't be sold, they will not be fresh, there will be losses, and they will be broken, in that case, will they lose a lot.

Tiancheng said: Yes, but if you give us a full pound or two, won't he also lose?

Lao Guo continued: That's not the case, because if we give us enough pounds, we will go to his house every day to buy, and what we want to do business is quantity, if we just want to make money and have no sales, then wouldn't we lose more, so they are still very clear about which is more important.

Tiancheng nodded and said: So that's the case.

Lao Guo looked at Tiancheng's appearance and said with a smile: I didn't expect you to be a small person, and you spoke and behaved like a little adult.

Tiancheng smiled and touched his head.

Lao Guo continued, you have to remember the place where I take you to buy vegetables, and you also have to remember what each dish is called.

Tiancheng replied: Isn't it just a dish?

Lao Guo smiled bitterly and said: Of course, there are many dishes that I don't even know, let alone you, because we are cooks, or there are no proposals to have new tricks to make people feel fresh, so that we can gain a foothold, if it is always like that, everyone will be tired of eating, so we must constantly update and innovate, so that we can gain a firm foothold.

Tiancheng replied: So that's the case, I know Uncle Guo, I will definitely remember it.

Lao Guo smiled and said: That's right, remember, don't say this kind of thing in the future, because there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, what you don't know is not necessarily what others don't know, and what others know, you may not be able to know, remember?

Tiancheng nodded and replied: I know Uncle Guo.

Lao Guo smiled and took Tiancheng to the stall that sold vegetables, only to see Lao Guo and the stall owner talk a few words, and then the stall owner gave Lao Guo something, Lao Guo took the things and left, then Tiancheng secretly said to Lao Guo: Uncle Guo, you didn't give him money?

Lao Guo smiled and said: Silly boy, this is what you have to learn, we are buying vegetables for the county government and settling the bill once a month, so ah, we just came here to get it, signed it and left, and at the end of the month, they went back to the finance to withdraw the money.

Tiancheng seemed to understand something, touched his head and smirked, Lao Guo said to Tiancheng: Let's go, how many more do you have to go, let's buy it early and go back early.

Tiancheng replied: Okay, Uncle Guo.

In this way, Lao Guo took Tiancheng and walked a few more houses, and then Lao Guo said to Tiancheng: Tiancheng, if you want to eat something, Uncle Guo has a treat.

Tiancheng smiled and said: Uncle Guo, I won't eat it.

Lao Guo said: Then if we don't buy anything, we will go back.

Tiancheng said: Okay Uncle Guo, let's go back.

In this way, Lao Guo took Tiancheng's first purchase to the end, and soon Lao Guo returned to the county government with Tiancheng, and the gatekeeper saw Lao Guo coming back, and said with a smile: Guo Zi, you will come back so soon today?

Lao Guo said: There is nothing special today, so as usual, I came back a little early.

After Lao Guo finished speaking, he talked to the doorman for a few more words, and then took Tiancheng back to the kitchen.
