Chapter 5 Selling Vegetables in the Wet Market
"Auntie, yes, I still have it at home, but now that I'm all sold out, and if I leave now, what will I do with this stall?" As he spoke, he looked at the others in embarrassment.
"Young man, you don't have to worry, you go and bring the food, I'm here to help you watch the stall, but I'm here to help you watch the stall, can you sell me more when you come?" The woman who had asked the first question asked.
Because Li Xiaofan knew that many people would come to buy his dish after it was sold, so at the beginning, he restricted each person to buy a maximum of three catties of tomatoes and one catty of green peppers, so he sold a lot of copies in this way, and fully advertised himself.
"No problem, Auntie, after I come in a while, you can buy ten catties of tomatoes, I can get more!"
Li Xiaofan heard the woman's question, and then quickly replied, and after finishing speaking, he pushed the tricycle and prepared to take some vegetables out of the space, and the person next to him also nodded, and hurriedly made way for him, asking him to hurry up and get vegetables to sell.
After Li Xiaofan left, there were a lot of people around his stall, all of whom were waiting to buy his second cart of vegetables.
Among them, there are many people who have bought them before, but after they eat that taste, they feel that three catties of tomatoes are too little, and one catty of green peppers is too little, so they want to buy more and go back to eat.
After a while, Li Xiaofan came back in a tricycle.
"Eh, little brother, is your house close to here?" The guy who had bought food here at the beginning asked.
"No, no, it's just that in the morning I asked an uncle in my village to help me get here, but I couldn't finish pulling this tricycle, so I left it at a relative's place, and I just happened to go over and bring him now." Li Xiaofan explained to the woman.
And those people watching the excitement next to them, they haven't bought his vegetables, and they don't know if his vegetables are good or not?
"Little brother, how do these vegetables of yours look like those genetic vegetables? And it looks like it's growing a lot again, haven't you been drugged? A fashionably dressed woman looked at so many people surrounding Li Xiaofan's tricycle selling vegetables, and then asked.
"Auntie, you can ask these aunts and uncles just now, the vegetables they just bought, they will know whether it is or not, and there is no problem with these vegetables of mine, they have not been sprayed with pesticides, all of them are carefully cultivated by themselves, and you see that these tomatoes are better than fruits!" Li Xiaofan said with a smile to the woman who had just asked.
"Little brother, how much is your tomato?" The others who had not bought tomatoes and vegetables asked again.
"Tomatoes are six yuan a catty, green peppers are four yuan a catty, although they are a little more expensive than others, but the quality is definitely guaranteed, if you don't believe it, you can ask these uncles and aunts around you," Li Xiaofan explained, and it was also like people who had not bought his dishes to advertise.
"Six dollars a catty, little brother, are you too expensive?" The middle-aged woman who had just asked you asked asked with a surprised expression.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, these vegetables sold by the little brother are simply too good, not expensive at all, if you can buy such tomatoes for such money at other homes, I will directly eat all the vegetables in the little brother's car in front of you in one go!" After the woman had just finished speaking, someone spoke.
"Hey, you still want to be beautiful, the little brother has eaten all the vegetables in the car, so what about the rest of us?" The crowd joked next to Li Xiaofan's tricycle
However, some people felt that this was a bit expensive, and then asked, "Little brother, can the price be less?" If it's less, I'll take it away from you wholesale. ”
"You still want to take it away wholesale, do you see so many people still have what you wholesale?" Someone next to him said with a smile.
At this moment, the person who had just spoken was suddenly embarrassed.
"Little brother, then give me ten catties for everything!" The man spoke again.
"Ten pounds? I'm afraid you're dreaming, everyone can only buy 3 catties of tomatoes, 1 catty of green peppers, and other vegetables are also limited, you still want to buy 10 catties, so can we buy them? As soon as his words fell, the others were dissatisfied.
Well, he was even more embarrassed now, but he still didn't resist the temptation, and then said: "Okay, then in this case, the little brother will give me three catties of tomatoes, and the other vegetables will also give me some, and I will also taste what this very delicious vegetable is like in everyone's mouth?"
"Okay, please wait." Li Xiaofan immediately loaded the dishes for him, and then the other people's dishes were also loaded for them one by one.
Li Xiaofan didn't collect the money one by one, but asked everyone to directly calculate the money and put it in his box for him.
In this way, everyone believes in him even more.
The man who had said he was going to wholesale bought a tomato and took one out, wiped it with his sleeve a few times, and then began to eat it.
As a result, he had just taken a bite, and he couldn't stop at all, and a pound and a half of tomatoes were directly eaten by him in less than a minute.
You know, three catties of tomatoes, that is, three catties of tomatoes, one big and two small ones add up to almost three catties of tomatoes. And he ate the largest tomato, which was almost a pound and a half, in less than a minute.
"These tomatoes are so delicious, I'm going to buy them again!" Hurriedly said to Li Xiaofan at the moment.
"Go away, go away, everyone can only buy three catties of tomatoes at a time, if you still want to buy it, you can buy it again after your little brother's next time, everyone can only buy a beautiful car once!"
The person next to him saw him like this, and hurriedly spoke.
If he bought it for the second time, then he still got it, so wouldn't there be one less copy of these things? Then they may not be able to buy what they want to buy by then.
The middle-aged woman showed a disappointed expression after hearing this, but when she saw that Li Xiaofan had sold half a cart of vegetables in less than five minutes, she thought about it and felt that Li Xiaofan should continue to sell some vegetables, because its quality is too good, and the tricycle is already small, and there are not many every time, so the opportunity has come.
In less than ten minutes, the vegetables on his tricycle were snatched up again, but he was not going to sell them today.
Because, today he has to put out his advertisement first, and tomorrow he will continue to buy vegetables, if he sells a lot of vegetables at once today, people may start to wonder where his vegetables come from.
Seeing that Li Xiaofan was about to leave, the middle-aged woman stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, are you going to come later?" ”
After hearing this, Li Xiaofan replied: "No, Auntie, today's dishes have been sold out, and I will only come tomorrow." ”
The middle-aged woman listened to Li Xiaofan's words, looked disappointed, and then asked, "Then little brother, can you take more vegetables when you come tomorrow?" Your little vegetables are not enough at all, I just ate a tomato, it is so delicious, I will come to you every day to buy vegetables in the future, your vegetables are not good! ”
Li Xiaofan nodded with a smile, and then said: "Okay, Auntie, tomorrow I will rent an electric tricycle, and then pull vegetables over, this car was rented from there for 30 yuan, due to a lack of funds, so I can only rent this kind of human-powered tricycle, but today someone sells vegetables to earn money, tomorrow I can rent a car with a better carrying capacity." ”
After talking to the middle-aged woman, Li Xiaofan said to the surroundings again: "Uncle and aunt, I will come here tomorrow to sell vegetables, and tomorrow I will bring more vegetables, if you still want to buy them tomorrow, come to me to buy them!" ”
After listening to Li Xiaofan's words, the middle-aged woman nodded, and then praised: "Okay, the little brother knows how to save at a young age, and he also came out to help sell vegetables, I believe that having a child like you in your family must be a good blessing accumulated in the previous life!" ”
"Auntie, you praise Miao, I'm not as easy to say as you say, I'm quite ashamed when you say this." Li Xiaofan also said with a smile.
Afterwards, Li Xiaofan greeted them and pushed the tricycle away.
And there were all kinds of chattering voices behind it.
"Heck, the little brother sells really good vegetables, I bought some cucumbers and some green peppers. Not to mention, I just took a bite of this cucumber, it is the best I have eaten so far, this cucumber is not only crispy in the mouth, but also has a lot of juice, and at the same time, it makes people feel very cool after eating! ”
"Hey, don't say it, that's it, I feel cool all of a sudden after eating!"
"Isn't it? It's just that these things are a little bit missing......"
It took about half an hour for Li Xiaofan to sell nearly 300 catties of vegetables, although he only sold about 300 catties of vegetables, but the income was very good.
He pushed his bicycle back to the house, where only his grandfather was in the side room to treat the others, and he said hello to his grandfather and went into his room.
The money from selling vegetables today was counted one by one, because the money from selling vegetables was some change, and it took some time to count it, and after careful calculation, more than 300 catties of vegetables were sold for more than 2,000 yuan.
He was immediately shocked, because his mother could not necessarily buy so much money by selling vegetables for half a month, and the cost of the vegetables in the family had to be removed, so the income was even less.
Li Xiaofan, who tasted the sweetness, was even more energetic this time, he directly entered the space, picked the vegetables in the space from those branches and put them in the hut, and prepared to harvest another stubble at night.
He thought to himself that if he sold vegetables for a long time, his mother would definitely find out, so it was better to take his mother to sell vegetables together, and he only needed to keep his mother from knowing the source of the vegetables.
As he spoke, he took action, took out his old age machine and called his mother: "Mom, are you still selling vegetables?" ”
"Yes, why did Xiao Fan call me?" His mother replied on the other end of the line.
"Is that so? This morning I went to sell some vegetables, but not the vegetables at home, it was a classmate of mine, he made a farm by himself, planted some vegetables, these vegetables are of good quality, he mainly grows them to eat, but now there are some that he can't eat, so he asked me if I want to? He just knew that my family was selling vegetables, so he called me, and I wanted to try it too, so I took more than 300 catties of vegetables from him this morning to sell, but I didn't expect it to take less than half an hour? I sold it all out, and the net profit was as high as three or four hundred dollars! ”
"So I want to call you back at noon to discuss, let's buy this kind of food in the future."
