Chapter 3 Selling Corn II

"How much is a pound of corn?" One of the old nǎinǎi asked.

"3 pieces." Liu Xiaoyu said

The two old men were stunned for a moment when they heard the price, and yes, now that most of the corn has been taken off the market at this time, and most of the corn sold on the market is stored corn, the taste is not good, and the price is not cheap, and the highest has been sold for 4 yuan a catty.

Looking at the two old men who were still a little hesitant to buy or not, Liu Xiaoyu was very refreshed, and after one of them gave a piece of picked corn, he said:

"Two old people, come and try it, whether the thing is good or not, you will know after you try it yourself."

"Can this corn be eaten raw?" Still that old nǎinǎi asked.

"Well, I don't dare to say if other people's can eat it raw, my breed can be eaten raw, didn't you two see what I was gnawing on just now." Liu Xiaoyu replied

"I'll try." The old man, who had not spoken just now, said and took the corn in Liu Xiaoyu's hand, carefully dialed a corn kernel and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Well, it's quite sweet, weigh it." As soon as the old man said a word, the old nǎinǎi next to him squatted down and began to pick up.

It seems that this is an old couple, and it seems that the family status of the old grandfather is relatively high. Liu Xiaoyu thought to himself.

In fact, there is nothing to pick, Liu Xiaoyu's corn is almost the same size, and the quality is the same as good, the old nǎinǎi took six, Liu Xiaoyu weighed it and bagged it, the good guy six corns actually weighed three catties and two taels, with an average of more than one and a half catties. A total of 9.6 yuan, the actual receipt is 9.5 yuan. That's how the first deal was done.

It's also strange that there is either no one in this business, or there are more than n people at once. After the old couple finished paying, three or four more people came up at once. Such a good corn is only 3 yuan a catty, and it is a bit exaggerated to pass ten or ten to hundred, but the number of people who buy it has increased all of a sudden. When there are few people, you can still help pick the skin, and there are so many people, sweat... I know that I am constantly busy weighing, collecting money, and looking for money, but fortunately, Liu Xiaoyu's first time selling vegetables is purely a ticket, and it doesn't matter if it's heavier or less. It is basically rounded up to the nearest whole number of 0.5 yuan.

50 kilograms sounds like a lot, and according to 0.25 kilograms, it is about 200 sticks, and it is less than an hour before and after the first business, and it was swept away. After looking at the time, it was less than eight o'clock, and Liu Xiaoyu cleaned up Liu Xiaoyu carried an empty sack and an electronic scale, and when he came with it, it was full of change, and when he went back, he went home with a lot of small bags.

On the way, I bought a few buns and dealt with them. When I got home, I poured out the money in my bag, sorted out the accounts, and earned 278.5 yuan in addition to the 100 yuan of change prepared.

"This is more lucrative than a white-collar job." Liu Xiaoyu looked at the banknote in front of him and thought.

Looking back, I found that the account could not be calculated in this way, if there was not a farm space, the cultivation of corn would require a cost, and if it was sold wholesale, it would be good to earn a few cents a pound of money, and there would never be such a big profit.

After settling the accounts and resting for a while, Liu Xiaoyu cashed out two bags of more than 50 kilograms of corn from the space. I'm going to sell it in a different place.

Looking at the two hemp bags, the weight of more than two hundred catties even Liu Xiaoyu, who had been trained by labor, could not be carried away at one time. Not to mention that there are electronic scales or something that need to be obtained.

I suddenly remembered that I still had a "vintage" bicycle that had been thrown in the corner of the carport, and I rummaged through the cabinets to find the key and then killed the carport.

Looking at the gray classic car, for the sake of the great cause of selling vegetables, Liu Xiaoyu pushed him to find a place to repair the bicycle and repair the car that was not locked and no one stole it.

Looking at the "classic car" in front of you, except for the bell that does not ring, it is not used for riding anyway, as long as you can push it. Liu Xiaoyu comforted himself.

After pushing the cart home, Liu Xiaoyu found cardboard to make a small signboard. It is prominently written with a black sè marker that the super sweet glutinous corn is 3 yuan/catty.

After everything was done, he casually made some lunch and ate, and Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but walk out of the house and began to "step on the point" for the afternoon vegetable business.

You can't go to that place in the morning market, and no one goes to it in the afternoon. The Xitou vegetable market is strictly managed, and it is a fixed stall, and retail investors have no way to sell it.

Looking around, I found several small mobile stalls selling fruits fifty meters away from the entrance of the community. After thinking about it, although this road is not a major road, it is a necessary place to enter the community, and there are many residents nearby. Just sell it here.

After going home and resting, I looked at the time It was already half past two in the afternoon, and I was idle anyway, Liu Xiaoyu pushed the classic car in the carport to the door of the unit, and carried the corn down from the third floor. While carrying it, he complained to himself, he knew that he had bought the first floor in the first place, and what gold and silver were not as important as convenience. What a mistake.

After three trips back and forth upstairs, I finally got everything together, directly tied two bags of corn to the back seat of the car, and then tied the electronic scale to the corn bag, which added up to almost the same height as Liu Xiaoyu's height. Put the rest of the bits and pieces in the broken basket in front of the car.

Holding the head of the car with one hand and the corn bag behind him with the other. Cautiously swaying towards the entrance of the community. Fortunately, there is no property doorman in the old community, otherwise it is estimated that it will be blasted out as a hawker who broke into the community.

As soon as I put up the car and unloaded the electronic scales and corn, a peaches seller next to me started talking.

"Brother, what are you going to sell?"

"Uh, big sister, I poured some corn to sell." Liu Xiaoyu was busy answering as he answered.

"Big brother, look at the eyes, it's the first time you've come to set up a stall?"

"Well, yes, pour something to subsidize the family." Although I was a little puzzled about how the other party talked so much, I still answered more or less on the premise of making money in harmony.

Take out the sacks that were sold out in the morning and spread them on the ground, then take the corn out of the sack one by one, peel it and remove the ears, and then stack it neatly one by one.

After getting a part, put up the small signboard and adjust the price on the electronic scale. Then I sat in the back seat of the classic car, and the ground was too hot to sit on.

There is no one to chat with a few dealers next to him to pass the time. In the end, it is not a vegetable market, and there are few people who come out to shop on a hot day, and the stalls have been set up for more than two hours and only sell about 20 catties of corn. glanced at his watch, Liu Xiaoyu was not in a hurry, usually those who came home from work after five o'clock would pass by, not in a hurry.

Sure enough, after half past five, the number of people who came home from work and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in the evening market began to increase.

The white swaying corn, the cheap price, and the fresh and sweet taste made the corn in Liu Xiaoyu's sack disappear quickly. There was even a person who had just bought it and cooked it at home, and after eating it, it felt very good and came back again. This community was originally a housing reform house, and most of the residents were from a factory, so they were basically familiar with it.

As soon as the reputation of corn deliciousness spread, the speed of sales was really dizzying, and by the way, Liu Xiaoyu weighed, collected money, and found money faster and busier.

In order to strive not to bring corn home today, Liu Xiaoyu didn't even eat dinner, and kept setting up the stall until more than eight o'clock, before it was finally sold out.

Two hundred catties of corn from about 2:30 p.m. to about 8:30 p.m., nearly six hours, I don't know whether this speed is fast or slow, in fact, the most popular time for sales is after six o'clock and before seven o'clock, most of them are sold during this time period.

Three empty sacks and corn husks and ears in one place, Liu Xiaoyu is a little embarrassed, if such a large pile of corn husks and ears is left alone, it is estimated that he will be scolded by the sanitation workers who sweep the street.

Liu Xiaoyu, who was kind-hearted, stuffed the corn husk and ears back into the sack, fortunately, compressed a full sack and put it in the back seat of the car, and then packed up other things, looked at the fairly tidy ground, Liu Xiaoyu pushed the car home.

Passing by a garbage dump in the community, he poured all the corn husks and ears in the sack, stacked three empty bags on top of each other and clamped them in the back seat of the car, pushed the car and went home.

When I got home, I didn't do anything, poured the money in my bag on the big table, and after a while, 200 catties of corn were sold for a total of 556 yuan. Coupled with the money from the sale in the morning, the total income was 843.5 yuan. Rubbing his sore waist, Liu Xiaoyu smirked.

At this point, his first battle of selling vegetables was completely victorious.
