Chapter 4 Mountain City Market
Yamashiro Market!
The 80s were very famous in China.
The urban area depends on water to draft, and aquatic products are naturally abundant, and the distribution of live poultry and vegetables in the market is uneven.
Aquatic products occupy most of the market, especially lobster, which is simply characteristic in Duliang.
Since 2000, Duliang has officially held the first lobster festival, and by 2017, it has almost become an important source of local tourism income.
The 17th consecutive lobster festival has made the people of the whole country know the place of Duliang, and also made the lobster, a small monster that no one eats, popular throughout the land of China.
Even after more than ten years, there are still Chen Jin's original classmates who make a fortune by lobsters and spices, but Chen Jin is a person who keeps to himself, and has no talent for business, so he can only silently watch others get rich.
Now I am the first to discover business opportunities, and whether I can succeed depends on whether I have the ability to play.
"Xiao Jin, this is Uncle Zhu's stall. ”
Zhu Chengming pointed to the three-meter-long, one-meter-wide, one-meter-wide cement platform and said to Chen Jin.
There are four or five basins on the table, and there is a circle of small basins on the ground, each of which has a variety of aquatic products.
Blackfish, crucian carp, steel needlefish, yellow eel, crab, lobster, catfish, seasonal fish, herring, loach and many more.
The difference is that the fish have almost no gauze nets, while crabs and lobsters are sealed with gauze nets, so that they are afraid that the crabs and lobsters will run away.
Although this place is small, it has a complete range of varieties and business is naturally very good.
"Aunt Zhou's grocery shopping, your grandson came back today, buy some loaches to make tofu for your little grandson to eat, and make sure that the kid still wants to eat after eating!" Zhu Chengming said with a smile to a silver-haired grandmother passing by his stall.
"It's good, it's not new!" Grandma Zhou didn't plan to look at aquatic products, but she stopped when she heard this.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time you've bought something from me, I told a lie before, I'll pick you up with a full of energy!" said Zhu Chengming and took the scoop and started fishing.
"Wait, if you want to talk about aquatic products, loaches are good, but I'd better buy yellow eels, the nutritional value is higher!" Grandma Zhou had an expression that you don't want to fool me.
Zhu Chengming gave a thumbs up: "Pay attention, in the end, you are an old teacher, you really pay attention to it!
Chen Jin stopped, and immediately dragged a black pocket, which was snatched away by Zhu Chengming and thrown aside, and instead dragged a transparent plastic bag.
"Is four enough? Don't worry, my yellow eel, it was eaten by that kid in my family the next day, and it will never fool people!"
Weigh up, settle accounts, collect money!
After a series of actions, Grandma Zhou didn't interject at all.
"Don't worry about you running a few steps, there is a fair scale not far away, you can fold my scale if you don't have a tael!"
Tie his pockets, pick up the black plastic bag before and put the yellow eel in, Zhu Chengming greeted people with a smile from beginning to end.
In the morning, there were more than a dozen like Grandma Zhou, not twenty, but a dozen, all of whom were middle-aged and elderly women.
In other stalls, he was scheming to death, but when he arrived at Zhu Chengming, he still had the final say, and Chen Jin, who was watching, secretly smacked his tongue.
At eleven o'clock at noon, there were fewer people, and Zhu Chengming also planned to close the stall and go home.
With Chen Jin's help, the stall was closed extremely quickly today.
The remaining aquatic products are poured into the net pocket, then placed in the water tank of the motorcycle, and a dozen basins and buckets of various sizes are stacked together.
Under the cement platform is a simple door welded with iron sheets, and after opening it in, Zhu Chengming took Chen Jin home.
"Wife, cook more at noon, the old landlord eats all the time!"
Zhu Chengming, who had not yet unloaded the goods at the door, shouted, Aunt Zhu opened the door and saw that it was not Chen Jin sitting in the back, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Xiao is in, hurry up!"
"It's thanks to Xiaojin's help to come back today, otherwise the children would have come back at least half past eleven, right?"
Zhu Chengming took out the aquatic products and poured them into the pool built in the corner of the house, took off his boots and put on slippers, and poured hot water to wash them.
"I'm back, in the back room!" Aunt Zhu was pinching the garlic table.
Zhu Chengming took out two lollipops from his pocket and shouted to the back room: "Oops, I bought two lollipops today, and no one eats them, Xiaojin, let's just eat them!"
"Wow, I want to eat, I want to eat!" The door curtain opened, and a man and a woman ran out in an instant.
"Ah, do you want to eat, come, call good dad and give it!" Zhu Chengming laughed and held up the lollipop.
The sister and brother couldn't reach it even when they were jumping, so they had to shout: "Good father, good father!"
Zhu Chengming squatted down with a smile, hugged him and kissed him one by one: "Hey, all be good, go do your homework!"
When the sisters and brothers returned to the room, Zhu Chengming sat at the table and beckoned: "Come in, have a cup of tea!"
But he took out the money and counted it.
"Count the money in front of outsiders, you old money fan!" Aunt Zhu looked at Zhu Chengming's serious appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you afraid of, Xiaojin is not an outsider, and besides, I just bought Xiaojin's house, so I have to work hard to earn more!"
Zhu Chengming counted while smiling, and took out a notebook and wrote something with a pen.
"Uncle Zhu, how much did you earn today?" Seeing Zhu Chengming finish writing and closing the account book, Chen Jin spoke up.
"Well, Mao's income is 412 yuan!" Zhu Chengming said after taking a sip of tea.
"So much, how much can you earn?" is the question that Chen Jin is concerned about.
"Hmm...... went to the rent, about 80 yuan, like me, who do a little bit of everything, make less,
Coupled with my business integrity, the profit is only about one-fifth, that is, two percent.
If it were anyone else, the profit would be between 30% and 40%!"
Chen Jin then remembered that so many middle-aged women didn't seem to have any nonsense to buy vegetables from Zhu Chengming, so he thought about it and asked, "What kind of integrity law?"
Zhu Tiancheng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said: "First of all, you can't be short of catties and taels, and you can't make a few dollars from one, two, two, or two, but you will lose your guests."
The people who can buy vegetables in the market are basically housewives, and they don't live too far away, although you have a little scale once or twice, but after a long time, others will naturally not buy at your house, even if you are cheap.
Moreover, today you take the black plastic bag a bag at least three taels, many people will also wash with water, for no reason there is an extra one, take the black fish to calculate, a pound of black fish ten yuan, this two cents and five a bag can earn three dollars and seven cents.
This is black money! Those who care about it may not want it at the time, and those who don't care about it will not buy it next time, after all, no one is stupid.
If you take an ordinary plastic bag and weigh it in a black plastic bag, people will believe you, and that's integrity, understand?"
A simple thing, there are so many rules and regulations in it, Chen Jin nodded a little understandingly.
"Then today's business is not good compared to usual?" Chen Jin heard that Zhu Chengming could earn about eighty a day, and he didn't know if the money was average.
You must know that even if you have been a designer for six years, before you resigned in 03, the salary was about 1200 yuan.
