Chapter 37: Selling Things
The second day was the day of the market, and Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong got up early in the morning.
You have to go to the town to sell things early, otherwise you won't be able to occupy a good stall.
Because Luo Zhiyong's legs were inconvenient, the rest of the Fang family didn't get up, and even if they all got up, it was estimated that no one would be willing to help Fang Pingying.
Fang Pingying still took Luo Honglan to the town to sell things.
The two of them packed the hawthorn sauce and hawthorn cake in a basket, and then took a small scale from home and took it with them.
By the time I got to the town, there were already a number of people who had been selling in the town for a long time and had already taken up their stalls.
At this time, in order to increase the income, the government set up stalls made of wooden shelves on both sides of the road in the town on the day of the market, and after ten o'clock in the morning, the government people came to collect the stall fee, five cents per stall, regardless of whether it was sold or not.
Of course, in order to save the five cents, many people will put a piece of cloth on the ground by themselves, and sell things directly on the ground, if someone comes to collect the stall fee, they can run away with the things at any time.
Anyway, if the government people see someone setting up a stall, as long as you set it up on the side of the road, even if you don't occupy their stall, you still have to pay for it.
Fang Pingying thought that she was selling food, and it was not too high-grade to put it on the ground, so she went to find a smaller stall to put her things, which was not bad for five cents.
The stall next to Fang Pingying and them was a woman in her thirties, and she had some small cloth shoes, small belly pockets, and small clothes on her stall.
She looked at Fang Pingying's things and the color pieces they put out were extremely good-looking, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Girl, what are you selling, this looks good." ”
Fang Pingying took the same thing and introduced it to her, "Eldest sister, this is hawthorn sauce, this is hawthorn cake, do you want to taste it, eldest sister?" ”
"Can you taste it, I won't buy it." When the woman saw that it was beautiful, she did want to taste it.
Fang Pingying hurriedly smiled and waved her hand, "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, taste it, it's rare to have the fate to sell things next to each other." ”
The eldest sister was immediately happy when she heard it, "This girl's mouth is really sweet, I'll taste it." ”
Fang Pingying first cut a small piece of hawthorn cake with a knife and handed it to her, and then told her, "This hawthorn sauce and hawthorn cake taste the same, but this sauce is not easy to make, I have to buy some oil paper later, so I can taste it for you." ”
The woman took the hawthorn cake, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully for a while, looked at Fang Pingying with a surprised face and said, "Girl, is your hawthorn cake really made of hawthorn, why is it not as sour as hawthorn at all, and it is sweet and sour, and it tastes very good." ”
Fang Pingying was not ambiguous, and replied with a smile, "Hehe, eldest sister, I made this hawthorn myself, of course it tastes good." ”
"Sell it, weigh me some."
"Hawthorn cake costs a pound, and this jar of sauce costs three dollars a bottle." Fang Pingying thought about it and decided to sell it at a slightly higher price, for the sake of the future, she really couldn't sell it and thought of other ways.
"It's so expensive." The price is not cheap, the eldest sister is a little hesitant, she can buy a pound of meat for a dollar.
Fang Pingying didn't force her to buy it, but explained to her with a smile, "Sister, I won't tell you, I put a lot of good things in it, otherwise I wouldn't have such a good taste, this is the first time I've made it, in fact, I didn't make much money, I just made some capital, and I may not be able to buy it at this price next time." ”
The eldest sister thought about it, and finally pointed to the hawthorn cake and said, "That's it, then I don't want this sauce, the hawthorn cake weighs me half a catty, I'll buy it back for my two children at home to taste, they haven't eaten such a delicious thing." ”
"Cheng, for the sake of the eldest sister's two children, I will give you six taels, which is half a catty." The first transaction was opened so lightly, which made Fang Pingying more confident.
"The girl is really good, so if I buy a catty, will you give me a catty or two taels?" When the eldest sister heard that there was a advantage to take advantage of, she immediately changed her mind.
"If you want it, it's not a big deal to weigh two taels more for you, anyway, I made it myself, and it should be the fate of the eldest sister." Fang Pingying didn't say much, and agreed directly.
"Cheng, then weigh me a pound." The eldest sister said, chatting with Fang Pingying, "I originally thought that the family hadn't eaten meat for a few months, and I planned to cut some meat for the children to eat after selling it today, so I simply didn't cut the meat, and the money bought this thing for them." ”
Listening to the eldest sister talk about the child, Fang Pingying thought of her two daughters in her previous life, and her heart was soft.
She smiled and persuaded the eldest sister, "Eldest sister, let's cut the meat, it's better to cut less, the child is too young, and he still needs to eat some meat to grow taller, these things are used to make snacks on weekdays, but you don't have to eat so much." ”
When the eldest sister heard this, she couldn't help but smile gratefully, "Girl, you are really sincere, it seems that it is really the first time to do business, if it is really a person who often does business, there is no such sincerity, I am afraid that I would like to pull a customer to sell things all at once, where will you persuade people like you." ”
"To do business, you have to talk about conscience, compare your heart with your heart, you have children at home, and you have to think about your children." Fang Pingying said, and sighed lightly, if she would have thought like this in her previous life, she would not have ended up like that.
When the eldest sister saw that she seemed to have a lot of topics to talk about children, she asked her with a smile, "The girl is so young and has given birth to a child?" ”
"No, my sister-in-law and my eldest brother have only been married for a month and have not had children." Luo Honglan, who was standing on the side, said to the eldest sister with a smile while setting things up.
"Haha, then I wish the girl a big fat boy as soon as possible."
Fang Pingying also smiled lightly, then pointed to the supply and marketing cooperatives not far away opposite and said, "Sister, you wait for me, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperatives opposite to buy some oil paper, and I'll wrap the hawthorn cake in oil paper before giving it to you." ”
Waiting for the eldest sister to respond, Fang Pingying went to buy oil paper on the other side.
Although the supply and marketing cooperatives are open, the people who sell the goods don't look like they go to work at all, and they are still knitting sweaters in their hands, Fang Pingying shouted at her several times, and she replied lazily, "It's not time yet, don't go to work, I'll come back later." ”
Fang Pingying knew that the people who were doing business in the supply and marketing cooperatives at this time were not the same as before, they were doing things for the country, they were just messing around, and they would not have any sense of responsibility.
So, with a smiling face, she said to the seller, "Girl, I'll buy some oiled paper, and I'll sell things waiting to be used, see if you can cut some for me first, it won't take you a long time." ”
Seeing that she was just buying some oiled paper, and it wasn't a big deal, the seller didn't want to take care of it anymore, so he put the knitting needle on the counter and knocked it a few times, and said impatiently, "I said that I didn't go to work, what do you shout." ”
Fang Pingying was already a little unhappy when she saw that her attitude was so bad, but thinking that she had to do business over there, it was not good to spend too long here, so she still said good things to her, "Girl, it's troublesome, I really just buy a few pieces of oil paper, it's very fast, and it won't delay you for too long." ”
At this time, the person selling the goods stood up, but she directly slammed the ruler she usually used to measure things in front of Fang Pingying, and scolded people viciously, "Are you deaf, or what's the matter, you said that it's not time to go to work, what the hell are you shouting." ”
"Girl, if you don't go to work, what are you doing with the door open so early, and I see that someone has just bought something at the counter over there and gone out, which means that you can sell things according to the rules." At this time, Fang Pingying's face was already a little bad.
"Then you go to the counter over there to buy it, anyway, I don't go to work, if you are really rich, you can go to the county town to buy it, the provincial city to buy it, and the people there can talk about the rules." The seller was yin and yang, and looked at Fang Pingying with disdain, making it clear that he looked down on people.
Fang Pingying really couldn't bear it now, she straightened her face, looked at her coldly and said, "Don't sell it, then call me to you, the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, I want to ask you what's going on." ”
"On the day of the market, you opened the door early in the morning, but the customer came to the door, but he said that he would not go to work, since he did not go to work, don't open the door so early, and there are already people selling things at other counters."
