Chapter 14 Selling Vegetables
When the two women saw that she was young, but she was generous and the words she said were novel, they felt funny in their hearts, and secretly sighed that she was a little girl who could speak well.
They picked up the handfuls of green peppers and beans in the dustpan and said, "My little sister is very good at business, and she makes the vegetables so beautiful that people want to buy them when they look at them, how do you sell these vegetables?" ”
Of course, Su Qingtong knew that her dishes were beautiful, but she was a person who came back from the splendid era in later generations, how could she make money in this era without a little knowledge, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Six cents a handful, but it is called." ”
One of the women deliberately said: "It's so expensive, can it be less, can it be five cents a handful?" I buy two. ”
Su Qingtong hurriedly shook his head and said: "Sister, what I sell is off-season vegetables, the cost price is high, you look at the vegetables I sell, they are big, fresh and delicious, each handful is almost a pound, six cents a handful is the cheapest, originally my father said that he had to sell it for eight cents to make a profit, thinking that everyone is not rich to sell at a loss, just because there is no money, so my family does not plan to sell out-of-season vegetables, you missed it this time, next time you want to eat it may not be able to buy." ”
"Your little mouth speaks as if this dish is a fairy..."
"Whether it's a good thing like a fairy, you will know if you have eaten it, and you will not regret it."
At this time, a few people came around, all squatting on the ground and turning over her vegetables, and soon someone decided to buy it, and many people bought two handfuls, at the beginning, there were two or three people who bought at once, and one of the aunts holding the child said in surprise: "God, now there are such fresh out-of-season vegetables for sale, I still see it for the first time." ”
Qingtong thought to herself, this aunt has knowledge, but she is afraid that if she doesn't know how knowledgeable she is, she won't know the value of things, so it will be difficult to do business.
There are more and more people buying vegetables, and there is a woman who grabs two handfuls of vegetables and walks away after dropping a dollar, so angry that Qingtong stomps her feet, but she can't leave a lot of guests to chase her, and she can't help but say to the person next to her aggrievedly: "This aunt is too much, how can you bully me as a child?" If I don't pay it when I get home, my dad will beat me to death. ”
A grandmother in her sixties next to her smiled and said, "Little girl, don't be angry with the person who takes advantage of you, I'll buy you three." Saying that, he gave Su Qingtong two yuan and said, "Don't look for it, just make up for it for the person in front of me." ”
When Su Qingtong saw her say this, he hurriedly smiled and thanked her.
Although there are such charitable guests as the grandmother, there are also many people who take advantage of the fire to rob, and more and more, everyone bullies her A little girl is weak and easy to bully, since there is a person who has two handfuls of one dollar, most of the people who buy two handfuls behind only give one dollar and run away, and the one who gives one dollar is good, there is actually a man who takes three handfuls and only gives one dollar, and even some people run away without giving money.
At this time, because of the influence of the living environment, most people don't have a lot of money in their hands, and they will not miss it if they can take advantage of it, and they feel that Qingtong is young and easy to bully, so he is becoming more and more arrogant, Su Qingtong is half angry, full of enthusiasm to sell vegetables for money, I didn't expect to meet such a customer, so I simply hugged the vegetables and didn't sell them.
There are also some people who want to pull her away and continue to make money, if Su Qingtong was a few months earlier, he was afraid that he would really be pulled away, but now Su Qingtong has a lot more strength, and he really can't pull it away without a little effort, and some people who really buy vegetables are not pleasing to the eye, and they help Su Qingtong block those customers who take advantage of the small advantage, and finally save the last dozens of green vegetables.
Su Qingtong is not a particularly honest person, he hugged the dustpan and shouted, "Someone has robbed the vegetables, someone has robbed me of a child's vegetables, come on!" ”
The person next to him who wanted to fish in troubled waters didn't dare to go too far, but just accused her unhappily: "You kid, are you still selling?" How do we buy a dustpan? ”
"That's right, if you want to sell it, you can choose one for us."
.......
Su Qingtong said: "If you really want to buy it, you don't have a choice, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, you are not allowed to bully me as a child, otherwise I won't sell it...."
Just when everyone was making a fuss, a tricycle stopped on the side of the road, and the middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat was asking, "Little girl, do you still sell your food?" If you want to sell them, I want all these dishes, don't worry, my uncle won't bully you. ”
Su Qingtong raised her head and glanced at the man, medium height, Chinese face, clear eyebrows and eyes, giving people a sense of honesty and integrity, according to the vision of her previous life for decades, she felt that this was a reliable person, and hurriedly replied: "Sell, uncle, as long as you have a lot of money from me, I will sell it to you." ”
The middle-aged man got out of the car and walked over, and the person who was guarding Su Qingtong who wanted to buy vegetables was unhappy, looked at the man and said, "You said you bought all of them, you bought them all, but we arrived before you." ”
The middle-aged man looked around at the dozen or so people surrounding Su Qingtong and said, "I give out a dollar for each handful, is any of you willing to pay a higher price?" ”
Su Qingtong was stunned for a moment, this was a bidding, and he was actually a little excited in his heart, and he was more grateful to the middle-aged people.
Where are those people willing, six cents a handful still have the idea of fishing in troubled waters, and now asking for a handful of dollars is equivalent to taking advantage of the fire to rob, wanting to scrape the flesh on their bodies, but they all glared angrily at the man in front of him who was not easy to bully at first glance and did not dare to speak.
Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Uncle, I will sell it to you, if you want it all, it will only cost six cents a handful." ”
Su Qingtong took the opportunity to fill the dustpan with vegetables in the space, and there were suddenly dozens of more than two handfuls of vegetables left in the dustpan, and the middle-aged man helped her push away the customers who were reluctant to leave, and then looked at the vegetables in the dustpan and said with satisfaction: "Yes, these dishes are very fresh and in good condition, I want them." ”
He paid very happily, and after calculating the numbers, he gave Su Qingtong fifty yuan, but Su Qingtong only received thirty yuan: "If you say that six cents is six cents, my uncle has helped me a lot, how can I take advantage of my uncle." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, he lived so old and dealt with all kinds of people, but he had never seen a person who was not greedy for money, especially this person was still a child about ten years old, and the extra money he gave was not a small amount, but a full twenty yuan, and twenty yuan was equivalent to a month's salary for a temporary worker.
Su Qingtong's promise impressed him, and he inexplicably felt that this was not a simple child.
The man said to Su Qingtong: "Little girl, if you still have vegetables at home, you can sell them to me, I am the purchaser of the catering department of Qingxi Hotel, my name is Huang Zhixin, the price of buying your vegetables will not be disadvantageous to you, if your delivery is not convenient, I can also go directly to your house to haul goods." ”
Su Qingtong didn't expect to meet such a big customer, it was just that someone sent a pillow when she wanted to sleep, she was refreshed by those customers who bought vegetables today to refresh her understanding of human nature in this era, and was worried about how to sell the dishes in the space, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, when do you want vegetables?" How much do you want? I have a lot more at home, which can be sold to you. ”
Huang Zhixin said: "I still want some today, otherwise, I'll go with you to pick up the goods now." ”
Su Qingtong's goods were placed in the space, so naturally Huang Zhixin couldn't be allowed to pick them up, so he said: "These dishes are not at my house, or you tell me the address and phone number, I will send the goods over in the afternoon, you make a list for me, how much I want, what I want, and then I will distribute the goods to you according to what you need." ”
The middle-aged man was even more surprised when he saw that she was speaking clearly and doing things safely, the girl in front of him had a set of things both to speak and to do, not at all like a teenager, but he was relieved in his heart, he was afraid of dealing with those chaotic people, and he was tired and tired.
"Little girl, can you call the shots?"
Su Qingtong smiled: "I can naturally call the shots." ”
Huang Zhixin smiled and said: "What I want are vegetables that are not available in this season, just like the green peppers and beans you sold me, if you have other out-of-season vegetables are also sent over, the more varieties, the better, we don't count according to the calculation, how much is a pound, I look at you A handful of vegetables is about seven taels, why don't I buy your off-season vegetables for eight cents a catty?" ”
Su Qingtong thought to herself, this price is just right, if Qingxi Hotel is more, no matter how cheap it is, it is really inappropriate for her to have a child selling along the street, not to mention that she is tired of picking vegetables, and she will be bullied, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, I will deliver it on time before two o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Huang Zhixin nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to wait for you at the back door of the hotel." ”
When Huang Zhixin was leaving, he instructed again: "Let your parents come with you, it's inconvenient for you to hand over the deed as a child, don't lose the money and cry." ”
Su Qingtong had a better impression of Huang Zhixin, and wondered how he could see that she planned to trade with him alone, and she didn't refute it at this time, just picked up the dustpan and waved goodbye.
After Su Qingtong and Huang Zhixin separated, they went to a rice noodle shop next to the vegetable market to order a bowl of noodles.
She came out of the rice noodle shop and found a corner where no one was there and shook into the space.
The vegetables in the space grow very watery and lovely, the cucumber beans and beans press the melon shed heavily, sprinkled with the fragrance of vegetables, Su Qingtong carefully selected the best ripe melons and fruits to pick, and picked water spinach, lettuce and other vegetables, after tidying up, tied with straw and piled aside, the vegetables of the three acres of land, each twenty or thirty catties have been picked about three or four hundred catties, not counting those winter melons and pumpkins.
After Su Qingtong came out of the space, he went to find a tractor to help transport the goods, and the master who drove the tractor originally ignored her when he saw that she was a child asking for a car, and felt that she didn't really want to hire a car, until Su Qingtong took out ten yuan, and then agreed to pick up her goods at the intersection.
After Su Qingtong made a deposit, he first rushed to the agreed intersection, piled the vegetables in the space on the side of the road while there was no one, and then quietly waited for the tractor to come.
What Su Qingtong never expected was that as soon as he parked the car at the back door of the Qingxi Hotel, he saw five or six people in white chef clothes waving spoons and knives and rushing over, which not only startled Su Qingtong, but also the tractor master. Are you looking for trouble?
