Chapter 61: Strange Goods (3)
Listening to what Zhang Ran said, Teacher Song's curiosity has been completely aroused.
She immediately said with great interest, "You can also bring me two portions of this watermelon salad!" ”
I don't know what's going on lately, but when she hears something sour, she can't help but want to taste it.
The yellow-orange lemon slices with the tender and attractive watermelon red, Teacher Song couldn't help but move her index finger for a while, but fortunately she resisted this impulse.
She'd better settle the bill first, and then take it home and eat it slowly.
After taking out two yuan and five yuan from his pocket, Mr. Song put it directly on Zhang Ran's stall, and said with a smile: "You gave me an extra bowl of diced peach meat, and the remaining few cents of change should be used to offset the price of diced peaches." ”
Two bowls of diced watermelon and two bowls of salad are two yuan in total, and the extra three cents Mr. Song is embarrassed to ask for it.
The price of a bowl of diced peach meat is also about five cents, so she has to make up two more cents.
Although Zhang Ran said that the peach meat was given to her for free, she didn't like to take advantage of others, especially the poor people who worked hard for their livelihood in these markets.
Zhang Ran packed everything and tied it, then took the two yuan and five yuan handed over by Teacher Song, and then took out three cents from the stack of change she had prepared in advance and returned it to the other party.
"Said that the peach meat is free for you, doing business is one and two is two, and keeping your word is the minimum business criterion, you should take back the three cents change!"
Zhang Ran's attitude won enough favor from Teacher Song, and she happily took the three cents change she recovered, "Okay, I like your little girl's attitude towards business, I'll bring you a few more guests over later!" ”
Zhang Ran immediately laughed and said, "Look, it's not a loss for me to give it away for free." ”
Teacher Song was a little amused by her, "You little girl is quite flexible, I see you, you are born to do business!"
As for why Zhang Ran was reduced to doing business in the bazaar at his age, Mr. Song didn't ask much.
In these years, the idea of patriarchy in China is still very common, and it is not an exception for girls to be dropped out of school early to support their families, and she almost missed the opportunity to go to college at the beginning.
If it weren't for the fact that her grandmother happened to bump into her when she was about to burn her admission letter, Teacher Song's current situation might not be much better than Zhang Ran's.
After settling the account with the vegetable seller, Mr. Song left in a hurry.
As for what she said about introducing guests, Zhang Ran didn't take it seriously.
As soon as Teacher Song left, the rest of the crowd immediately gathered in front of Zhang Ran's stall to try it.
I just heard what Mr. Song said so mysteriously, coupled with the continuous stimulation of the strong fragrance between the noses, everyone was curious to try to see if Zhang Ran's diced watermelon was so delicious.
Anyway, you don't need money to try it, and you don't eat it for nothing!
Everyone rushed up and almost overthrew Zhang Ran's stall.
In the end, it was Gu Junze who came forward and barely stabilized the crowded situation.
After a while, Zhang Ran put a few bowls of diced watermelon and watermelon salad on the stall for tasting, which were immediately snatched up by the crowd.
Some people ate a piece and then sneaked away, while those who stayed behind took out money to buy a bowl and have a good time.
Everyone's economic conditions are not very good, but no one is so poor that they can't even take out five cents a piece, and being reluctant to eat and not being able to afford it are two different things.
And Zhang Ran's bowl with diced watermelon is not small, compared to the whole watermelon with skin to eat, the price of diced watermelon with peel and diced is not only affordable, but also tastes many times better than those watermelons.
As long as the people who have eaten it, they all have an intoxicated expression like they have tasted the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
In less than ten minutes, the half of the watermelon that Gu Junze had cut had been sold out, and even the watermelon juice had been sold out a lot.
