Chapter 65: It's hard to sell vegetables, and it's even harder to buy vegetables!
Before everyone dispersed, Xu Huizhen left Kong Yuqin alone, and the two of them simply checked the purchase account in the counter, the purchase price of duck eggs was entered according to 3 cents per catty, and the first-class Chinese cabbage was entered according to 2 cents and 9 cents.
Two hundred catties of duck eggs are acceptable, but when Xu Huizhen finished reporting the purchase amount of Chinese cabbage, Kong Yuqin felt that her ears should be auditory hallucinations, and after swallowing her saliva, she confirmed with Xu Huizhen twice.
"Hui Zhen, did you really get 20,000 catties of first-class Chinese cabbage? With such a large purchase volume, there won't be any problems here, right? ”
"Don't worry, the procurement procedures are complete, and you don't want to talk to anyone else about this for the time being. If you have a lot of children in your family, you can take 400 catties from this batch of dishes according to the purchase price. ”
Xu Huizhen should know that Kong Yuqin is vaguely reminding herself not to commit speculation, this kind of thing Xu Huizhen has already thought of a countermeasure when she is considering selling duck eggs, why Xu Huizhen wants to go to Kong Yuqin's account The price is slightly higher than the price Li Tong gave her, but it is not that Xu Huizhen wants to make the difference in the middle, but to use the money of the difference to compensate the other party for the risk she takes.
In those years, all material supplies were distributed by the state as a whole, from a stitch to a stitch and a house. After the public-private partnership, the tavern has the same right to purchase materials as the cooperative, and can set up procurement channels with other units or communes, which involves a variety of paperwork procedures.
Xu Huizhen's path is still in Niulanshan, after all, the relationship between the two sides is strong enough, and the commune certificate and other materials are too easy.
At that time, the amount of 20,000 catties proposed was also a figure that Xu Huizhen had been thinking about for a long time before finalizing, and if it was more, it would exceed the cabbage output of the commune, and if it was less, it would not make much sense.
Kong Yuqin naturally didn't know this, but she was already very happy to get such a good Chinese cabbage at a low price, both excited and a little embarrassed: "Huizhen, thank you really for helping me so much, it's just that I'm a little tight on hand, and I can't take out so much money for the time being." ”
Xu Huizhen lightly tapped the account book and said with a smile: "You keep the account first, and it will be too late to deduct the bonus at the end of the year." ”
Kong Yuqin nodded happily and hurriedly, tears almost flowed out.
"Okay, everyone knows that you have many children in your family and have difficulties in life, and no one will talk about you. Follow me to do a good job in the future, don't follow Fan Jinyou to toss around, I promise that you can buy meat for your children to eat every month after the Spring Festival. Xu Huizhen's tone was very firm when she spoke.
Kong Yuqin was stimulated by Xu Huizhen's sentence that she can buy meat for her children to eat every month, and the tears that had reached the corners of her eyes just now couldn't stop falling, and He Yumei, who was cleaning up the tables and chairs on the side, glanced curiously and frequently.
In the end, Kong Yuqin wiped away her tears and calmed down, quickly completed the account entry work, locked the account book back into the cabinet, and said goodbye to Xu Huizhen and did not go back to the convenience canteen to turn around and go home directly.
One is that Xu Hui really wooed her to accept just now, which can be regarded as a statement to draw a line with Fan Jinyou. The second is that the children who go to school at home are really about to come home from school, Kong Yuqin has to rush back to buy vegetables and cook, otherwise the wine putty at home may not know what crazy he will be.
As night falls, the lights of the taverns stand out in the dimly lit streets, and business is booming tonight.
The tavern was filled with customers early, and the corners of the walls and pillars were also full of wine insects holding wine cups and taking small sips of wine.
Tonight's new salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs are also very popular, mainly because the duck eggs are of good quality and the pickling level is also first-class. Seeing this scene, two temporary workers were immediately arranged for two temporary workers to cut the salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs into half and quarters of two specifications, and the customers only needed to spend as little as 2 cents to try it.
Leaning on a square table on the beams, Mr. Xu, who has been rated as a fourth-level teacher, picked up a piece of salted duck egg cut in half from the middle, and said with emotion: "At first glance, it looks like two rounds of the rising sun inlaid in mutton fat white jade, which is very beautiful." It tastes pine, delicate and oily, but it is also exceptionally refreshing. ”
The former captain of the private transport team, now the strong son of the porter of the street printing factory, was squatting under the beams and pillars drinking a little wine at the moment, and after hearing the words, he chirped sourly: "Isn't it just salted duck eggs, why does it look so sour in your mouth when it comes to Mr. Xu, it hurts people's teeth!" ”
Qiangzi's comments made Mr. Xu's face a little unbearable, you must know that the two comments just now were thought of by Mr. Xu after brewing for a long time, but he didn't expect to be made into a sour taste of a down-and-out literati by Qiangzi's crooked reasoning and heresy.
Mr. Xu was embarrassed and indignant, but he was happy with the Niu Ye sitting opposite, only to see Niu Ye reach out and push a plate of pine flower eggs with pine branch patterns on the surface of the table in the direction of the hadron and said.
"Haha, Qiangzi said it well, Master Niu rewarded you with a piece of pine flower egg!"
Qiangzi stood up happily, stepped forward to pick up a piece of colorful preserved egg with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, took another sip of the wine in his hand and called out hello.
"Refreshing and delicious, fragrant but not greasy, thank you for the reward!"
"Ahem, you kid can talk, I'm happy today, you can take the plate away!"
I don't know where Qiangzi, a big illiterate person who has only attended a literacy class, learned the word, anyway, Niu Ye thought what he said was really good, and when he was happy, he gave him a small half of the remaining Songhua eggs.
"Thank you again!" Qiangzi happily closed his mouth and squatted back with the plate.
The rules of the tavern are that two or two wines are not served without side dishes.
Although Qiangzi got half a plate of pine eggs rewarded by Niu Ye, according to the rules, he didn't pay for it himself, so he could only honestly squat on the ground and drink like other wine worms who had no money and could only do alcohol.
Teacher Xu is also angry and has no place to sow, but after all, he is a knowledgeable and educated people's teacher, and Qiangzi is just a poor coolie who has attended a literacy class.
Talk to him about cultural cultivation, why bother!
Teacher Xu depressedly picked up the wine cup and raised his head to take a sip, simply pretending that nothing had happened just now.
The scene of Mr. Xu eating deflated made He Yumei behind the counter very happy, and while bowing her head and grinning, she poked Xu Huizhen with her finger who was burying her head in the account, Xu Huizhen also smiled, but her laughter was because of the sales of salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs.
Seeing that Mr. Xu was angry and drinking alone, Xu Huizhen picked up a small plate containing half a salted duck egg and walked to Mr. Xu, put the plate on the table, and said, "Qiangzi has no culture, Mr. Xu, you can't be as knowledgeable as him." I think you just said it very well, the two rounds of the rising sun are inlaid with mutton fat white jade, so beautiful, this half of the salted duck egg is what I invited you. ”
"No, no, I'll pay for this half of the salted duck egg." Teacher Xu hurriedly counted out 4 cents from his jacket pocket and handed it to Xu Huizhen.
In the past, because of the literacy class, Mr. Xu did some things that were not authentic, but Xu Huizhen didn't bother with him, Mr. Xu always kept this matter in mind, no matter what Xu Huizhen said, Mr. Xu insisted that he must give money.
Seeing the female shopkeeper coming, someone soon asked curiously: "Xu Huizhen, do you really have first-class Chinese cabbage to sell here tomorrow?" More money? ”
"Of course, I haven't written clearly on the stone slab hanging on the wall outside, the price is the same as the vegetable market, 3 cents a catty, I don't dare to speculate." Xu Huizhen looked at the advisor who asked the question and replied.
"But I see you wrote that there is a limit of fifteen catties per person, so you shouldn't use a few hundred catties of vegetables to open up for us, right?"
"Hehe, I, Xu Huizhen, have been running a tavern for more than ten years, have I ever been clever and deceived people?"
"I testify to Xu Huizhen that she has never done anything to sell fake wine, and it was all done by Lao He before." The somewhat drunk Niu Ye patted his chest and burped Xu Huizhen as a guarantee.
"Haha, I can also vouch for what Master Niu said, then Lao He sold too much wine and had diarrhea." There was an old acquaintance who joked.
"Xu Huizhen, if I lead the whole family to line up to buy cabbage tomorrow, what if you don't have first-class vegetables to sell to me?" There are also customers who don't believe Xu Hui's promise.
After all, it is the inherent impression of ordinary people that businessmen like to play tricks when doing business. Besides, Xu Huizhen has never answered positively how many catties of first-class Chinese cabbage there are.
Yes, and how many, are two different things entirely!
I like to play with words, which is also the favorite thing for businessmen to do.
Don't look at Chinese cabbage is the most common dish on the table of ordinary people in the capital, but this is a first-class Chinese cabbage, and the meaning of first-class is that it is high-grade enough, and it is not a dish for ordinary people who have no way to eat and no relationship.
You go to the vegetable market to buy a vegetable you don't want to be able to see, even if it is a second-level Chinese cabbage, you have to queue up at the entrance of the vegetable market early, you can't buy it late, even if you get there, you can only buy twenty catties at most.
There are still too many, and you can't pick vegetables yet, whatever you are given is what you are.
"That's right, tomorrow is Sunday, if I call everyone in the family, and then ask my wife to call her brothers and sisters over as well, there will always be people in their twenties. Xu Huizhen, do you have 300 catties of first-class Chinese cabbage to sell to me? A middle-aged man with rabbit lips stood up and asked.
At this moment, Xu Hui really hesitated, the five thousand catties that arrived yesterday were not two thousand catties just reserved for various favors, looking at today's situation, not to mention people in other places, just the three thousand catties of the old customers in this house are not enough.
Seeing that Xu Huizhen stopped talking, the customers in the house immediately began to whisper, and Niu Ye and Teacher Xu couldn't stop their discussion when they helped to suppress the scene, and even some people had begun to ridicule the female shopkeeper for being dressed in dog skin this time.
This made He Yumei, who was standing behind the counter, anxious, and saw that Cai Quanwu couldn't be found anywhere, so she lifted the partition and was about to go out to find Cai Quanwu to come to the rescue. I saw that the curtain of the tavern was opened by a big hand full of calluses, and with the cold autumn wind, Cai Quanwu, who was covered with dirt and sweat beads on his forehead, walked in.
