Chapter 08: Great Popularity
Before Li Yuan gushed about the benefits of tomatoes, it also attracted many aunts and aunts who also came to buy vegetables to stop and watch. Now seeing that this person took a bite of the tomato, even his face changed and he didn't speak, so the anxious onlookers next to him couldn't help but ask, "What does it taste like?" ”
"Delicious!" The aunt who tasted the tomatoes came back to her senses and gave everyone a thumbs up and said, "It tastes really good, I've never eaten such a delicious tomato after living so old!" ”
As soon as Auntie's words came out, it naturally surprised the people around her. If it weren't for the fact that everyone buys vegetables here every day and looks at each other with familiar faces, some people will definitely think that she is the trust invited by Li Yuan.
Since there is no such possibility, it can only show that Li Yuan's tomatoes are indeed extraordinary. Seeing that Li Yuan's first customer bit the tomatoes with a smile and left, the others couldn't hold back anymore and rushed to Li Yuan to buy his tomatoes.
"Young man, I want two pounds."
"Give me two pounds too!"
"I want five pounds."
"Give me ten pounds!"
That's how aunts and aunts buy things, and they like to join in the fun. As long as one person takes the lead, everyone else is not far behind. What's more, some people have proven that this tomato is really good, and their interest in buying it is naturally greater.
As for the price of tomatoes, although it is indeed a bit high, it is not unacceptable. In these days, everyone is willing to spend money on food, as long as the food is good, it is not a problem to be expensive.
"Okay, okay, okay, everyone take your time!" Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for buying, Li Yuan was of course very happy. He reassures customers who are rushing to buy tomatoes, weighs and collects money with his hands and feet, and then goes on to greet the next customer, and he is very busy.
Because Li Yuan's tomatoes are good-looking, the size, shape, and color are almost identical, and there are no spots or other scars on the surface, so there is nothing to choose. Although those aunts and aunts are picky, they have no opinion on Li Yuan's sales method.
Everyone who bought the tomatoes was full of joy when they squeezed out of the crowd, as if they had picked up something big. There are also people who are anxious and taste the tomatoes on the spot after buying them. And their reaction was similar to that of the first aunt who bought tomatoes, all of them showed incredible colors, and said to the people around them again and again: Delicious, this tomato tastes really good!
And this situation is the best advertisement for Li Yuanlai, his tricycle was soon surrounded by water, and everyone wanted to buy a few catties of "American high-tech cultivated tomatoes" and go back to taste them for their families.
Li Yuan also underestimated the buying enthusiasm of aunts and aunts, and he didn't expect tomatoes to be so popular. But of course it's a good thing for him, so he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity and sell all the tomatoes as soon as possible. Not long after Li Yuan made his first transaction, the tomatoes on the tricycle were less than half, and more than a hundred catties had already been sold.
However, Li Yuan, who was busy, didn't notice that there were several vegetable vendors nearby looking at him with gloomy expressions. These people are all in a group, and they can be regarded as "old qualifications" in the vegetable market, and they sell wholesale vegetables from the suburbs almost every day.
Because they are all fellow villagers, and there are quite a few of them, they began to bully and dominate the market after a long time. Not only do they occupy the best stalls, but they also don't allow others to sell cheaper than them. Otherwise, this group of people will go to mischief with others and make the other party not do business, and at worst, they will use their hands and feet, and it is common to beat others.
These people also sell tomatoes in their stalls, and they naturally didn't bother to care about seeing Li Yuan, a strange face, set the price of tomatoes so high. However, now that Li Yuan's tomatoes are not only sold at a high price, but the business is still so good, these people are starting to be jealous.
They exchanged glances with each other, deliberating whether to get rid of the newcomer lest he steal his business. However, after all, the vegetable market was not opened by these few people, and they couldn't do whatever they wanted, so they didn't make up their minds to do anything to Li Yuan for a while.
And while these people hesitated, Li Yuan's business was still too good, and the remaining half of the carload of tomatoes was sold out not long after. When Li Yuan put the last tomato into a plastic bag and handed it to the smiling customer, there were several people in line behind him.
Li Yuan said apologetically to the few customers who didn't buy tomatoes: "I'm sorry everyone, they're all sold out." ”
"Oops, I've been queuing for a long time, and I still haven't bought it!" An aunt asked Li Yuan regretfully: "Will there be any more tomatoes?" I'd like to buy a few and give them to my little grandson to try. ”
Li Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I can't say this well, it depends on the situation." ”
Hearing Li Yuan's words, several people who hadn't bought tomatoes left disappointed.
Now that the tomatoes are all sold out, Li Yuan has no reason to stay, so he naturally rode a tricycle and left the vegetable market under the envious and jealous eyes of those vegetable sellers.
There is a secluded path not far from the vegetable market, Li Yuan parked his tricycle under a big tree and began to take stock of today's harvest.
Except for a few hundred-yuan bills, the money in Li Yuan's pocket is mainly zero bills. But don't underestimate these changes, there is an old saying called "gathering sand into a tower", how to say zero tickets are also money, as long as the number is enough, it is also a lot of money.
So when Li Yuan counted the last few coins, he was also overjoyed, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Aha, there are more than a thousand, this money is really good!" ”
For Li Yuan, more than 1,000 yuan is indeed a lot of money. What's more, this money does not cost at all, that is, it is completely netted, and what Li Yuan pays is just a gold bead and his own labor. As long as there are gold beads in the peach pit, Li Yuan can easily earn a large amount of money, which is what really makes him happy.
"When the staff grows up, it's a lot of money, hehe, buddy's happy life is about to begin!" Looking forward to a better life in the future, Li Yuan rode home.
Although he had been busy all morning, Li Yuan did not feel tired at all because of his joy. I rode the tricycle as fast as I could, and it didn't take long for me to return to the alley where I lived.
However, as soon as the tricycle turned into the alley, Li Yuan saw several men of the same age walking in front of him not far ahead, and couldn't help frowning and sighing: "Unlucky, how did you meet these guys!" ”
At the same time, the people on the other side also saw Li Yuan, and one of the guys with burnt yellow hair and a cigarette in his mouth immediately shouted: "Isn't this the kid from the Li family, Li Yuan, hurry up and come over to me!" ”
This guy's words made Li Yuan "chuckle" in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide today.
