Chapter 252: Man
Three quarters in the hour, the auspicious time arrives.
With the sound of firecrackers, Xiao Yu opened the red silk on the plaque at the door, and the Xiao family's seed shop officially opened.
There are only five big characters written on the plaque, which are simple Xiao family seed shops, and the reason why it is not called Xiao family grain shop is because Xiao Ming sells seeds.
In the shop, Xiao Ming prepared a lot of seeds, wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, rice, sweet potatoes and other species that can be found in this era, some of which were recovered by Yi Feng at a high price.
There is no so-called lively scene when the new shop opens, there is no customer in the shop except for its own people, and it is so cold that it can make the Song family anxious.
"Why don't any customers come to buy this? What we sell is a penny cheaper than in the grain store. Song said urgently, it cost a lot of money to buy these seeds, and if they couldn't sell them, they would lose money.
"Godmother, this place is remote, and it's normal that there are no people." Xiao Ming and the others were not in a hurry, but made a cup of fine mountain tea and drank it, and kindly explained to the Song family.
"Yes, Aunt Song, this place is very remote, and few people usually come." Liu Xiaoming also said that the location is poor and there are few people, because Xiao Ming didn't ask for it, and he didn't bother to shout.
He was also anxious, he couldn't understand why the girl would arrange him here, he had been a buddy for three years, he had rich experience, he should go to the shop on West Street to greet guests, but the girl asked him to look at the shop here.
He was very aggrieved, and he admitted it when he looked at the shop here, but it was obvious that Yi Feng was more willing to believe in that piece of wood, and asked him to take that piece of wood as the head of everything.
His mother asked him to quit his job to work for Xiao Ming, although the salary was high, he was also idle.
"Oh." Looking at the few pedestrians on the street, most of them went out to buy vegetables or something, but they just glanced at the newly opened shop and ignored it, and they didn't mean to enter the store at all.
"Ouch, this backyard is really big, and it can accommodate people." Song walked into the backyard and looked at the situation inside and said.
"But no, Aunt Song, Tie Sheng and I live here." Liu Xiaoming diligently followed behind Song as a commentator.
"This house is a warehouse, there are so many seeds piled up, but you have to pay attention to moisture and insect prevention, otherwise it will be a pity to spoil it." Song pointed to the treasury and admonished.
"Aunt Song rest assured, Manager Yi asked people to lay a layer of wooden shelves on the ground to ensure that they can't get wet, and there are cats in the store."
An aunt carrying a basket of groceries stood outside the gate and looked at it for a long time, and hesitated for a while before entering the shop.
"You sell grain here, weigh me one pound of rice, five pounds of brown rice."
"Auntie, we sell seeds here, not rice." The honest Chen Tiesheng said.
The woman came back to her senses, and looked at the various grains in the store, and there was no good rice and brown rice for sale, and she was a little disappointed that she knew that she had gone wrong, and she was illiterate, and she saw the rice and corn in the store, and she thought it was the grain store, and came in.
"Seeds are not just food, they are not the same to eat, I will buy some and cook them myself at home, but you have to be cheaper."
"Auntie, we don't sell grain, we only sell seeds." Chen Tiesheng replied.
Xiao Ming....
What an honest boy.
Sure enough, the woman's face changed when she heard this, "What kind of shop do you open, can't you eat this kind of food, and I don't refuse to give money." ”
Chen Tiesheng was taken aback by the roar of the Hedong lion, his face was red, and he didn't know what to do, but his face was already black, and outsiders didn't see whether he was blushing or not.
Liu Xiaoming hurriedly ran out and said to the woman with a smile: "Auntie is here to buy food!" That's the right place, our store has opened a new store, all the seeds are cheaper than grain, and the aunt can buy it directly and go back to grow food. ”
As for the growing grain prepared at home, of course, you have to eat it!
Seeing that the woman didn't believe it, Liu Xiaoming simply grabbed a handful of soybeans in the palm of his hand and pointed it to the woman: "Auntie, you see, every seed in our store is carefully selected, and the grains are big and full. “
The woman first heard that the price was cheaper than food, and that was a good thing! Looking at the seeds in front of her again, each one was full of energy, much better than the seed grain left by her family.
The woman's eyes lit up, and she had an idea.
"It's really cheaper than other places."
"Of course it's true, our shopkeeper said that the price of all the seeds in the store is less than that in the grain store, and the aunt can buy more, because after three months, the price of all seeds will rise by two yuan, after all, our seed is a high-class product, and we will lose money if it is cheap."
The price increase is Xiao Ming's meaning, in order not to compete with the local grain stores, the long-term low price will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the grain merchants in Pingcheng, she sells seeds, and does not want to fight with them unnecessarily, as for those people to buy back the seeds as seeds, or as grain only the buyers know.
I believe that after three months, the seeds in her Xiao family's seed store have become famous, and even if the price rises, the sales volume will not worry.
"Three months later, it will go up, isn't it higher than the other stores." When the woman heard this, she felt that the whole person was not good, and cried out loudly, apparently forgetting that the value of the seed was higher than the value of the grain in her mouth.
"The price increase is certain, auntie, look at the seeds in our store, I believe that there will be no second one in the entire Pingcheng." Liu Xiaoming said.
The woman looked down and thought about it, and then finally made up her mind.
"Buy!"
I have to say that Liu Xiaoming's sales ability has thrown Liu Tiesheng a few streets, in just a short time, with his three-inch tongue, a few words of hard work has become a business, if he can work hard, there is not so much flamboyant careful thinking, it is worth cultivating.
The woman also bought quite a few, apparently to see if it was cheaper to buy more, and only she knew whether she had taken home and kept it as a seed, or whether she had eaten it.
Regarding this, Xiao Ming is also very helpless, she can't force customers to take her seeds back as seeds, and one penny per catty is a temptation for them.
"Brother Shi, you said that there is a way for them to buy the seeds back and use them as seeds, instead of using them to eat." Xiao Ming asked, in her heart, Shi Tingyu was well-informed, and there was nothing she couldn't do.
Shi Tingyu thought for a moment before saying, "This is no longer within the scope of control, and it is difficult to ask them unless there are strict laws." ”
No matter how foolproof the law is, there are loopholes, not to mention that in this backward ancient time, Xiao Ming thought about it and was relieved, and smiled embarrassedly, it was because she was too demanding, she couldn't ask everyone to treat her seeds as seeds, seeds were not food.
