The first rays of sunshine in the early morning poured into Nanjing, and Lao Li in the south of the city was already skillfully opening the door of the store and putting all kinds of dazzling fruits on the shelves.

Don't look at the winter moon, there are not a few types of fruits in this season, plus what greenhouse planting was done in the first two years, you can still eat the sweet fruits out of season in winter.

If there is no fresh fruit on the table, Lao Li will remove the price tag marked under the shelf and replace it with a new one.

Just like the banana that has just been put on now, the original 'sixty wen a catty' has been changed to 'seventy wen a catty'.

This is not the first day of price increases.

Since the middle of last month, Nanjing's major fruit stores have begun to compete to increase the price, and the banana has risen from 30 wen to 70 wen today.

Lao Li has many years of trading experience, and by the middle of November, the fruits in his store will at least have room for more than ten days, and the problem of rising to 100 should not be too big.

If the price triples, aren't you afraid of violating the guiding price policy and violating the market management measures?

In this regard, Lao Li is not very worried.

These fruits are subject to a double price system.

Those who come to buy fruit have to rely on the household plate.

As long as the identity on the household plate is 'Minglian--Daming', it is still the original price of 30 Wen, but if you say 'Minglian--Siam (Japan...... I'm sorry, but I have to sell it at the label price.

Foreigners' money is not earned in vain.

I don't know who this sentence came from, but Lao Li, a local person in Nanjing, is very supportive of this.

Minglian doesn't know how many years to open a grand ceremony, Nanjing City gathered the entire Minglian kings, nobles, top princes and ministers, rich businessmen, what a rich business opportunity.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune for him, how can you buy a house where your child will get married in the future?

Thinking about the competitive son in his family, Lao Li felt that he was full of energy, and the fruit box weighing dozens of pounds was as light as a feather in his arms.

Box after box, without the slightest feeling of exhaustion.

"When my son graduates from college and marries a daughter-in-law, I have to buy this house, if the conditions permit, I have to buy a carriage, if I have a house but no car, it is not convenient to go out to work."

When he was done, Lao Li liked to sit at the door and talk to a few small bosses in the neighboring shops, in fact, he was showing off his good son.

"The top students of Nanjing University receive tens of thousands of scholarships every year, hey, they are interested."

Whenever this kind of words come out of the mouths of the little bosses around him, Lao Li will wave his hands with a smile and be modest, but every time he chats, Lao Li himself deliberately talks about the topic to the children.

Parents can have nothing to show off except for children.

"Let me tell you, this teaches children, you have to produce filial piety under the stick, the child knows which is right and wrong, he has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and we adults must stare at it, otherwise can we go on the right path?"

Sitting under the sun and basking in the sun, Lao Li began to teach his parenting scriptures again, and several middle-aged men sat or stood around Lao Li, but they were all very honest, and they didn't interject but kept nodding their heads.

But Lao Li's conversation had just begun, and the arrival of a group of outsiders interrupted Lao Li's eloquent conversation.

The customer came to buy fruit.

Although he didn't have much fun, Lao Li still hurriedly stood up to meet him, and it didn't matter if he didn't make any money.

"Hello boss."

This awkward Chinese is spoken in pieces.

As soon as he heard this, Lao Li was very happy in his heart, and he could make a lot of money again.

In fact, you still need to listen to the accent, just by looking at the outfit, Lao Li can recognize it, so from Arabia.

Over the years, I have seen the sea in Nanjing.

"Are there dates?"

This is one of the fruits that Arabs are most keen to eat, and Lao Li has also prepared it in the shop, so he immediately attracted a few people over.

Unfortunately, when it was put on the shelves in the morning, it was sprayed with water mist, and now it looks bright red and translucent, which really adds a lot of image points, so that several Arab businessmen are very satisfied.

"Very good, please put some on for us."

"Good, good."

Lao Li skillfully picked up a bamboo basket, and no matter how much one point there was in the group's mouth, he buried his head and fell down, until several Arabs shouted for a long time that it was enough.

Pick up the scale rod and flick it.

Lao Li's eyes drifted for a moment.

"A few rich people, six catties and eight taels, a total of six hundred and twelve, wipe a few of you with zero, six hundred will be done."

"Six hundred?"

Several of the Arabs looked straight and babbled.

"It's too expensive, boss."

Are there any poor Arabs in this world?

Lao Li sounds fresh, and he can come to Daming by ocean, which is not a big businessman in Arabia, who even drinks and drinks in the wine shop, and when he rewards Xiao Er, he scatters enough gold coins.

A gold coin is 10,000 less when you go to the bank to exchange it.

Since it is too expensive, it means that these Arabs have been in Nanjing for a long time, and they have long been clear about the prices of various commodities.

"Ninety wen per catty, Tong Su is not bullied, this is all sold at a clear price."

Lao Li was not ambiguous, his face was not red and he said breathlessly: "If you are too expensive, then go out and shop again to see if my store is expensive or cheap." ”

The date palm has rotted on the street in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not much sweet, and it is sold for twenty or thirty wen on weekdays, and now the price has risen to such a field, and the slaughter is the big Arab fat sheep.

This is the consensus reached in the fruit industry in Nanjing.

How can it be that Lao Li's family is rising, and it is impossible for someone to sell it privately.

If you break the rules of the industry, you won't be able to get along.

This is also the south of the city, Lao Li's name is sold cheaply, if you move to the center of the city, next to the street of the Ministry of Rites State Guesthouse, you will not take care of you with 200 people less than this catty.

If you like to eat, buy it, don't buy it.

can run a business near the State Guesthouse, and even people like Lao Li have a clear heart, and they are all powerful people at the top of the family.

"Okay, okay, that's all."

The leading Arab saw that he couldn't cut the price, and Xu was also tired, so he really took out a ticket with a face value of 1,000 in his pocket.

This is the largest bronze ticket with face value issued by Minglian at present.

One thousand texts.

Lao Li took the money with a smile, and muttered again: "Do you want to take a look at it again, what thirst can be quenched by eating this date, try it, the watermelon sent by our Hainan Prefecture, oh and this, sugarcane from India, that sweet." ”

As soon as he introduced the fruits in his shop, Lao Li didn't stop.

His mouth was moving, and there was no sign of any intention of going to change.

In the end, under Lao Li's stubborn ink, several Arabs really had no choice but to try this so-called sugar cane.

Not to mention, when I bit it, several people's eyes lit up.

"Sweet, delicious."

In terms of the terrible ecological environment in the Middle East, where are there many melons and fruits suitable for planting, they are all very happy to eat at the moment, and in the end, of course, they wipe their mouths and open their mouths to buy.

"It's all imported, it's not cheap."

At this time, Lao Li instead pulled up a tone of embarrassment.

This sentence made several Arabs pat their chests.

So what are you waiting for, it's not bad money.

In the end, several Arabs returned happily, while Lao Li looked at the pile of thousands of bills in his hand and smiled happily.

"Just this one, Lao Li, you have to earn at least three or four thousand."

Several small bosses in the neighborhood came over, and they were very envious of it.

"I knew that we would have followed you to open a fruit shop."

"Go, go, that's not all starving to death."

Lao Li scolded with a smile: "Lao Sun, you still come to mumble to me, your wine shop is not darker than me, the market price of my mother is only 300 wen a bottle of wine, you also dare to bid 15,000, and sell a few bottles to top my day's revenue." ”

The middle-aged man who was called Lao Sun smirked and scratched his head: "No way, isn't it the whole city that is rising, we can't do it if it doesn't rise, besides, these foreigners don't make money, and I don't know if I want to earn it next time." ”

Several people laughed happily.

The chime sounded.
