Chapter Seventy-Seven: Selling Melons (2)
Liu Paner took the remaining piece of melon and put it in her mouth, it was a little sweet, and there was a little noodles, which was not delicious.
Zhou Cuihua tasted it and said with a smile: "This melon is not as delicious as ours, our melon is half larger than it, and I feel that I have lost two pennies when it is sold." ”
Village Chief Li also nodded, "Yes, it's too much of a loss to sell two pennies." Yuan Qing's family, how much do you think is appropriate? ”
Liu Paner thought for a while and replied, "Five cents." ”
"Huh?" Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua were both stunned, shaking their heads and laughing, worried that they would not be able to sell it, "Yuan Qing's family, five cents a piece, too expensive." ”
Although Li Dabao felt that the price said by his mother was expensive, he felt that he should support his mother, "Our melons are big, and they are very sweet and fragrant." ”
Liu Pan'er nodded and explained, "Yes, uncle, aunt, let's try it." Others didn't eat our melons, and they didn't know how delicious they were. In this way, I will cut our melons and croissants. Give everyone a taste first, think it's delicious and then buy it, the price is more expensive, maybe they will buy it too. Let's try. ”
Village Chief Li thought for a while, "Don't pay five cents a piece, let's pay four cents." This town is not too big, not the county seat is crowded. If we can't sell it out, we have to take it back. ”
Liu Paner felt that what the village chief said made sense, "That's okay, it's just four cents a piece, and the next time we go to the county seat to sell it, it will be more expensive." ”
Liu Paner said as she picked out a good melon and croissant honey, put it on a clean cutting board, and cut it gently.
The golden flesh of the melon is moist and shiny, which is very attractive. The fragrance of the melon is even more enticing. Although the fragrance of croissant honey is not as fragrant as that of melon, it tastes particularly good.
There were more and more people in the vegetable field, and Liu Paner shouted, "Take a walk, take a look, the best melons, sheep's horn honey, are all fresh melon varieties from other places, and they are good products to relieve the heat in summer." Free tasting, free tasting. ”
After Liu Pan'er cut the melon, she couldn't wait to start shouting.
On a hot day, the sooner it is sold out, the sooner you can go back.
In addition, she also wants to use the money from selling melons to buy food, cloth and needlework.
There was no food at home, and the children followed to eat wild vegetables, and the whole person was dry. Although I can eat meat and eggs, I always feel that my stomach is empty if I don't eat some food.
The clothes on the body are all cotton cloth or linen, and they are not durable. Fleeing all the way, washing every day for most of the summer, it is particularly easy to break.
Many of her clothes have been patched, and she came out to sell melons today, and the one on her body is the only one she has without patches.
Liu Paner's voice is crisp and refreshing, and her shouting voice quickly attracted people.
Her melon, with its yellow skin, is particularly beautiful, and the flesh inside is also very moist, exuding a fragrance, which is particularly attractive.
At this time, a chubby man in a silk coat walked over, and as soon as he stood up, he smelled the fragrance of the melon, "Well, this melon is good, very fragrant." Is it really free to try? ”
Liu Paner said with a smile: "You take it yourself, eat it for free, if it's not delicious, don't buy it." If you think it's delicious, buy it again. ”
Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua looked at Liu Pan'er in a daze, their faces were a little embarrassed and twisted.
At this time, they saw that someone came over and asked very much, they were very nervous, and they were even embarrassed to reply.
But Liu Paner doesn't care so much, she doesn't shout or greet customers when she does business, how can she sell things?
The middle-aged man reached out and took a piece of melon, took a bite, his eyes lit up, the fragrance in his mouth went down his throat, the tender juice was sweet, and the flesh was crisp.
It's not too hot in the morning, but at noon, when it's the hottest, it's very comfortable to eat a bite of sweet and crispy melon, which is refreshing and refreshing.
"This melon is really good!" The middle-aged man praised and finished eating in two bites.
Liu Pan'er smiled and explained on the side, "This master, this is a melon, and the name is Jinyu Mantang." Golden, delicious and festive. A noble person like you should eat such a melon. Come, try the croissant honey again, it is sweet, fragrant and crispy. Now that the weather is so hot, it's time to eat melons. Anyway, it's free to try, no money. ”
The middle-aged man saw that Liu Pan'er was generous, and he looked a little higher, but he didn't despise the other party because he was dressed ordinarily, and the melon he ate just now was really delicious, "Okay, I'll try this one called croissant honey again." ”
After the middle-aged man finished eating in two bites, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Yes, it tastes good." How do you sell this? ”
I have already tried it and think it is good, and the next thing is to talk about business, which is what Liu Paner is good at.
Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "This big brother, four dollars and one melon, big brother, how many do you want?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, "This melon is very expensive!" ”
Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua were very nervous, and they really disliked it, and it was estimated that they would not be able to sell it.
Liu Pan'er was not in a hurry, and explained with a smile: "This big brother, this ordinary melon costs two pennies a piece, and it doesn't taste as good as my family's melon, so if you rush this taste, you have to pay a penny." Look at it again, my melon and croissant honey are so big, half the size of the ordinary, and they have to be more expensive. Is this four pennies worth the price of a fragrant and big melon? ”
Although the middle-aged man wanted to buy it, the price was a bit expensive, and he was not a big man, just the housekeeper of the town's silk village, and thought about it, "Although you have a point, I still think it is expensive." You cheaper, I'll buy more! ”
Liu Pan'er saw that this person should be a housekeeper or something, thought about it, and replied: "The first time I came to sell melons today, you are our first customer again." I really want to do your business, I'll give you a little cheaper, a melon and a croissant, and buy a melon full of gold and jade for four cents alone, it can't be cheap. But if you buy another croissant, you will be counted as seven cents. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, "Hehe, this melon name is good, and it is full of gold and jade." When our family is in business, we like to get a good fortune. Okay, bring me five melons and five croissants. How many copper coins do you count? ”
Li Dabao had already calculated in his heart, and when he heard the guest deliberately ask, he hurriedly said: "Five, seven, thirty-five, a total of thirty-five yuan." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes lit up, "Yes, you kid is very clever." Come, pick out for me, and put it in the basket. That's thirty-five pennies, count them. ”
Li Dabao took it, strung ten cents into a string, and gave another five cents, "That's right, I wish the uncle a prosperous business!" What's your last name? In the future, if you think it is delicious, we will come and pick a big and good one for you, and send it directly to your home. ”
"Your surname is Zhao, and he is the housekeeper of the Zhao family's silk village in Zhao's town. This melon is good, next time you come to town, go directly to Zhao's house to find me. ”
"Thank you, Steward Zhao." Li Dabao responded with a smile and thanked him repeatedly.
Liu Paner was quite surprised by Li Dabao's performance, this kid is neither humble nor arrogant, and can speak well, and has a talent for business.
Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua didn't expect Liu Paner and Li Dabao to sell the melon and croissant like this, "Boss, I'm not mistaken, right?" ”
Village Chief Li nodded, "That's right, I sold a lot at one time." ”
Liu Pan'er smiled, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry. Since we sell melons together, whether we can sell them out or not, let's divide them equally. ”
