Chapter Twenty-Six: Selling Lychees
The guy was busy for a while, and finally prepared everything Xiao Yao commanded, rested on the side, and waited curiously to see how Xiao Yao operated.
Xiao Yao asked Zhao Bo clearly that the price of lychees was fifty copper coins per catty, and then picked up a brush and wrote on the two wooden boards: "Fifty-five wen a catty" and "seventy wen a catty" Two prices with a big difference, after writing, he inserted the two wooden boards into the two boxes containing the lychees. The three of the eldest ladies who watched Xiao Yao's movements frowned, puzzled. We can't sell a pound of fifty copper coins, how can you sell it if the price is higher?
After everything was ready, Xiao Yao called the guys in the store to help carry one of the baskets of cheap lychees to the opposite side of the street and put it away, and put a small bench, telling the guys to sit there without saying a word, just waiting for the sale to come to the door.
After that, Xiao Yao returned to the door of the store and sat on a small bench and began to shout and sell: "Let's take a look, take a look, the fresh lychees that have just arrived, they are cheap, only this one frame, limited sales!" Satisfied! "Shouting up to the point where it's quite like that, the eldest lady on the side is straight, it's strange that someone buys your lychee.
No matter when, what era, people always have great curiosity, all like to join in the fun, listen to Xiao Yao's shouting, and soon the pedestrians passing by will gather here to watch.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that the guy opposite Xiao Yao is also selling lychees. Finally, someone asked everyone's doubts, "It's the same lychee, and I can't see how good you are compared to the other side, why are you selling it so expensive!" ”
"This brother Tai borrowed a step to speak, you don't know, the younger brother got the latest news, his price is the price of a few days ago, the recent lychee production area has been affected, the purchase price has been rising, and now the price can't come up, it's just selling at a loss, he doesn't know yet, this news is also the little brother just learned, the brother Tai will definitely keep this secret for me" Xiao Yao talked with the brother privately, and his voice was "low" so that many people around him could hear it.
The eldest brother looked like he suddenly realized, oh I see, brother can rest assured, I will keep it secret for you, and I can't spoil my brother's business.
The people who heard the news next to them didn't have the big brother, and they all came over to the guy opposite.
"I want two catties", "I want this string", "I want five catties", whether it is the aunt who came out to buy vegetables or the passers-by who walked by temporarily, they all began to rush to buy the box of lychees opposite, for fear that they would not be able to buy "so cheap" lychees when it was too late.
Xiao Yao looked at the people who surrounded him, looking painful and regretful, as if he hated himself for not being able to keep the secret, and quickly told the truth and smashed his business.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the lychee in the opposite guy's frame bottomed out and was basically swept away. Looking at the people who were smiling and smiling because they grabbed cheap lychees, and some people who were a little depressed because they didn't buy cheap lychees, the eldest lady and Uncle Zhao who were standing at the door of the store opened their mouths in surprise and couldn't close them for a long time. How did he do it?!!
The result was even better than Xiao Yao expected, and sure enough, people like to be cheap. Xiao Yao also grasped the psychology of people and made enough articles. There is also the herd mentality of people. If you look closely at the situation around you, it is not difficult to find that the more people stop at any store, the more people will follow, and they will think that the things in this store are good, or there will not be so many people patronizing, and vice versa.
Xiao Yao seized the opportunity, waited for the lychees on the opposite side to be sold out, looked at the crowd of people who had not gone far and did not buy cheap lychees, smiled weirdly, and began to shout again, "Don't go, little brother will admit it today!" The cost price vomits blood and sells at a loss! The same fifty-five wen a pound! In addition, buy more and get more, buy five catties and get half a catty more! After saying that, he stood up and put the bench aside, and it seemed that he had made this decision in a very painful way.
As if Xiao Yao's words were magical, everyone who was going away in disappointment heard Xiao Yao's shout, and they all raised their heads and turned to stare at Xiao Yao, unable to believe that what they heard was true.
Xiao Yao gave them another shot in the arm, "Don't doubt it anymore, you heard it right, what are you waiting for!" Don't let yourself go home with regrets! Only this time, the stall is sold out! ”
Xiao Yao's words finally broke the doubts in everyone's hearts, and they all calculated in their hearts again, well! It's really cheap.
In an instant, it was even more than the scene just now, and everyone rushed here with lightning speed. Especially for those who haven't bought lychees before, the speed is called fast.
"Don't squeeze me! I'll come first, I want ten pounds! "You lean back, I'm only one step behind him, you come behind me, I want five catties" "Liu Laosan, didn't you buy three catties over there just now?" Why do you still come to grab it? Have you eaten it!? "I will, can you handle it?" I can't finish eating and take it as a gift," all kinds of noises surrounded Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao hurriedly called another guy to weigh the lychee, but he became a volunteer to maintain order. "Don't crowd it, there will be it, all line up, come one by one, don't grab it." Under Xiao Yao's orderly management, everyone lined up in a long line, anxiously waiting to buy the "cheap lychee".
At this moment, this section of the street has long been surrounded by water. From time to time, people passing by here watched this lively scene and asked others what happened, causing everyone to do so.
Who would have thought that a basket of ordinary lychees could set off such a frenzy of buying lychees. They all said that there was no reason.
Looking at such a hot scene, Zhao Rushuang and Zhao Bo's mouths that had just closed were opened even wider this time, and it was estimated that an apple could be directly stuffed into it if they exaggerated a little. Xiao Yao didn't have time to look at the eldest lady behind him at this moment, and he was very busy.
Zhao Rushuang's mind was blank, and she couldn't turn anymore, staring at the dramatic scene in front of her with straight eyes.
After a while, Xiao Yao's frame also bottomed out, and when everyone dispersed, Xiao Yao picked up the two fresh and plump lychees left in the frame, peeled them, and put them in his mouth.
"Ah, it's so sweet~" handed it to the eldest lady casually.
"Huh? Oh, thanks. Rushuang Mu took the lychee, gently peeled off the skin, and put the white and round lychee into his mouth. Well, it's really sweet~ I can't help but think of it.
"Hmm! It hurts! "I was stunned by the hard lychee kernel and came back to my senses until my teeth were bitten." Well? When did I eat lychee? He stared at Xiao Yao suspiciously.
After Xiao Yao heard this, he sighed weakly, he really lost to this eldest lady.
After another hour and three moments, Xiao Yao saw that the crowd just now had almost dispersed, and then beckoned the guy on the other side to pack up and go back to the store. The guy put all the copper coins selling lychees on the counter, and there were thousands of copper coins piled up on the table, as well as a small amount of broken silver.
The eldest lady and Uncle Zhao on the side, as well as the guys in the store, stared at the copper coins on the table and didn't say a word for a long time.
In the end, after counting the copper coins on the table, Zhao Bo took the account book to check and settle it, and found that he had sold hundreds of copper coins more. Today's incident has made Zhao Bo, who has been doing business all his life, see the world, and look at Xiao Yao, only then can he know what it means to have mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people! Admired five-body throwing.
Rushuang also eased up for a while, staring at Xiao Yao's back and not knowing what to think.
Xiao Yao moved a bench, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea to drink, turned his head to look at the eldest lady, and saw that the eldest lady also looked at him, hehe laughed twice, "Miss, don't stare at people like this, you will be embarrassed"
One sentence directly disgusted Rushuang from the little good impression he had just had. It's shameless! Shameless! Uncle Zhao on the side and the guys in the store fell to the ground with goosebumps.
"Humph! Look at you proudly, I don't know what my surname is," Rushuang was angry when she looked at him.
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Xiao"
This time, it was the eldest lady's turn to lose to Xiao Yao, and she was completely helpless. Well, you win.
The eldest lady is also an honest and trustworthy person, and rewarded Xiao Yao with the money from selling lychees as promised, and asked Uncle Zhao to keep the accounts clear. After speaking, he walked out of the door without waiting for Xiao Yao to put away the money and turn around.
"Hey~ Miss, wait for me, can you exchange the money for broken silver for me? I can't fit too many copper coins! Miss, don't be in a hurry to go! Xiao Yao looked at the eldest lady who was going away and hurriedly shouted. But I only heard two simple words: "Die!" ”
In the end, Uncle Zhao kindly gave him five taels of silver.
Xiao Yao greeted Zhao Bo and the guys in the store before picking up the things he bought before chasing the eldest lady.
