Chapter 9 Selling Flowers
It was only after noon that they carried the flowers down the mountain and loaded them onto the cart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After sending the pigweed home, Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan sat in the front of the car to drive the cattle, several girls sat in the back of the car, and the flowers were protected by them in the middle.
From Yujia Village to the town, it can be reached in two quarters of an hour if you take an ox cart faster.
Before driving, Yu Qiao specially loaded a bucket of water trucks, and after driving, she, Yu Qin and Yu Xi each held a fine cloth in their hands, gently wiping the dust on the branches and leaves, and finally Yu Qiao took out a pair of scissors to cut off the excess branches and leaves, so that these flowers turned into a neat and beautiful several times in an instant.
Yu Fenghao and others who could see it on the side praised again and again.
In his previous life, Yu Qiao's hobby was to grow flowers, pruning and pruning along the way, and he was not unfamiliar with his craftsmanship, and his taste was good, so he looked quite like that.
"How many pots of these flowers can we sell?" Yu Xi asked Yu Qiao with big eyes.
Yu Qiao thought for a while, and said: "Let's go around the town first and see if there are any shops that sell flowers, if there is, my brother will ask the price, it is best to keep it in mind, and then our price will be cheaper than theirs." ”
Yu Fenghao nodded, jumped out of the car when he entered the town, but he turned around and didn't find a shop selling flowers.
As soon as he came back and talked to Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao's face was full of joy.
No one sells better, there is no competition, and the price will be much looser.
They drove to the entrance of the most crowded vegetable market in the east.
The section of the street in front of the entrance of the vegetable market is also very prosperous, and there are all kinds of food, use, wear, and play in the shops on both sides. It can be seen that Yu Qiao and the others don't know where to put their eyes.
Because it is afternoon, there are not many people who come to buy vegetables, but there are many people who come here to shop, and there are some vendors carrying two baskets to sell their goods around, which is very lively.
Yu Qiao thought about it, asked Yu Qingnan and Yu Fenghao to park the car in front of the shop selling rouge gouache, and then placed the flowers on the ground separately in turn.
After doing this, Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, Yu Qiao, and Yu Qin looked at the crowded streets, and suddenly looked at each other, obviously none of them could open their mouths to sell first.
Perhaps it was the first time I saw a stall selling flowers, and a series of curious eyes looked at them.
Seeing that the faces of Feng Hao and the others were secretly red, they only felt even more embarrassed.
Yu Xi curled his mouth slightly, glanced at them, cleared his throat, the corners of his slightly upturned mouth raised slightly, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Sell flowers, sell flowers, come and take a look at Ya when you pass by." ”
She had been to the town with her father and mother last time, and the most vivid memory was the sound of selling sugar gourds on the street, and she could never forget the words shouted by the vendor for the rest of her life.
"This flower has just been unearthed, it is fresh, and it can be left for a long time." Yu Xi tilted her head and thought about it, but unfortunately her little head melon has a limited amount of words, and she can't think of anything else except these.
Yu Qiao saw that her little sister was much more promising than them, so she simply let it go, and said loudly: "Fresh flowers are sold cheaply, fresh flowers are sold cheaply, as long as you buy this flower, you can ensure that your house is full of flowers all day long, fragrant, fragrant." ”
As soon as this voice was opened, Yu Qiao shouted more vigorously, and Yu Xi's crisp and sweet voice came and went.
Driven by the two, Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin also shouted one after another.
At first, they only whispered, and gradually their voices became louder, and finally the voices of the five were already comparable.
At this shout, many people gathered around.
At first, they just looked left and right to look at the flowers, and then some people saw that the boss was a few and a half old children, and they began to point at the flowers and children.
"This flower looks good, but who has so much spare money to buy such a useless thing?"
"That's it, flowers like this are everywhere on the mountains, what fool would pay for them? If you want to dig it yourself, can't you? ”
…….
Their eyes were mocking, and the voices of discussion were even more unscrupulous.
Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin faced such a scene for the first time, their faces were already red with shame, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. The little confidence they had been inspired by Yu Qiao earlier was now gone. Turning their faces to see Yu Qiao, Yu Xi's face still did not change and the more he screamed, the more he became fragile, as if he was encouraged, and his heart was suddenly full of fighting spirit.
Don't fight for steamed buns, fight for breath!
The three of them continued to shout with their necks stalked, and the louder they screamed, the louder they became.
With the passage of time, in fact, Yu Qiao's heart began to drum a little.
If these good-looking wildflowers are sold in modern times, no matter which city they are in, they don't have to worry about not being able to sell them, and they can be sold for a good price, but in ancient times, when they were unfamiliar with the land and scarce materials, everything seemed so difficult......
But persistence is necessary, how can you know the result if you don't persevere!
didn't think about it, just after the crowd around them gradually dispersed, there was really a middle-aged woman with a little maid, who came curiously from the ready-to-wear shop next door, and after staring at the flowers carefully for a while, she nodded slightly and said that she wanted to buy a pot.
The woman was interested in the buds that bloomed into some slush.
Falling slush is rare even in the mountains, there are many kinds of colors, Yu Qiao they sold this flower heart gradually changed dark red, with a hint of white on the edge, in a few pots of flowers is very eye-catching, extremely bright.
Yu Qiao first took a closer look at her, she was about thirty years old, her face was rich and calm, she was wearing a silk dress, gold and silver on her head, a bowl in her hand, and gold and jade jewelry on her fingers.
Yu Qiao shouted for sixty wen, and they only found two varieties of this kind of slush, so the asking price was naturally higher.
In fact, Yu Qiao originally planned to sell these two slush plants at a higher price, but considering that the ancient silver money was not easy to obtain, she was afraid that the high price would scare away the customers who wanted to buy it, so she had to set the price lower.
The woman was very simple and immediately took out her purse and paid for it.
Seeing that the woman happily took out the money bag and prepared to pay the bill, and did not bargain, Yu Fenghao and the others couldn't help but be stunned, they all stared at her with wide eyes, opened their mouths, and looked at her movements in disbelief.
Yu Qiao took the sixty Wenzi and counted it carefully, and then hurriedly put it in his arms.
Yu Qingnan, who came back to his senses on the side, carefully held the bottom of the flower branch, trying to move the flower stem out of the pot.
"What do you do?" The woman asked.
"Move flowers, this pot can't be given to you." Yu Qingnan said honestly.
"No, no, isn't it bad for you to come out like a flower? Forget it, you can sell me this pot at a price. When the woman had finished speaking, she brought out her purse again.
So that pot, Yu Qiao shouted ten yuan.
Yu Qingnan and Yu Qin were stunned for a moment, and after glancing at each other, they glanced at Yu Qiao strangely and did not make a sound.
The woman still did not bargain, and when she had finished paying, she told the maid to carry the flowers and the pot, and the two went away one after the other.
"Sell flowers, sell flowers!"
Yu Qiao, who was diligent, took good money, and continued to sell as if nothing happened, but the smile on his face became extremely bright and couldn't fade away.
Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, Yu Qin, and Yu Xi looked at her and silently gave a thumbs up in their hearts.
Especially the two brothers and sisters of Yu Qingnan, the big bowl like a basin is fired with clay, and it is not worth much at all, you can buy one for six cents at most.
This is equivalent to selling nearly half of the extra money!
And then there is that falling slush, which is good-looking, but they never thought that they could sell it for money, and they could even sell it for a high price of sixty yuan!
The more I thought about it, the more excited they became, the louder their shouts and the more confident they became!
It wasn't until the sun on the horizon gradually faded to the west and the sunlight began to turn yellow, that Yu Qiao and his party were satisfied with the remaining wildflowers on the car, and then got on the ox cart and prepared to go home.
The flowers were not sold out, and there were still two clumps of green orchids left.
But the two slush plants alone sold for a high price of one hundred and twenty wen. However, the young man didn't buy the pot, thinking that the workmanship was rough and unsightly, so he specially sent his entourage to buy a delicate porcelain pot for planting flowers elsewhere, and carefully moved the slush into it before moving it away.
The rest of the three varieties of bract taro, pine peony, and ginger have also been sold out, and they are relatively cheap.
Later, many of the people who bought these flowers were women, especially young women who had just been married, and they came out in groups to buy rouge gouache, and at first sight of these fresh flowers they could not move. Judging from their better dress, Yu Qiao's family background should be quite solid, so they have spare money to buy these flowers and branches to go back to enjoy them.
These flowers sold for a total of 310 wen, of course, including those clay pots sold by the way, plus 120 wen for selling two slush plants, a total of 430 wen.
Yu Qiao thought about it, before he saved enough capital and turned to other businesses, he could only go up the mountain to dig some flowers for the time being, and transport them to the town or county to make some hard-earned money.
In this case, you can no longer use the sea bowl for eating to fill the flowers, firstly, no one has so many large bowls, and secondly, it is not a long-term solution.
As soon as she put the idea along, it was immediately supported by others.
Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, Qin'er, and Yu Xi now have unconditional support for Qiaoqiao's decision, and they are full of admiration for her in their hearts.
So before leaving, they took out 100 wen and bought 32 flower pots, each with 3 wen, because they bought a lot, the boss also specially gave them two.
