Chapter 109‖ Buying Grain
Just when Zheng Zhendong was standing at the door of the grain store, he was thinking nonsense.
The owner of the grain store, seeing that he was dressed like a student in a tunic suit, stood there motionless, and walked to the door to ask Zheng Zhendong.
"This classmate, do you want to buy food, why don't you go into the store?"
Zheng Zhendong was awakened by the words of the grain store owner, pointed to the sign at the door, and asked.
"Shopkeeper, I'll ask you, can we drop the price a little more now?"
The owner of the grain store looked at him as a student, thinking that Zheng Zhendong didn't need much food, so he said.
"This classmate, the price is already low now, and it really can't be lowered anymore!
Otherwise, I'm going to lose money!
Someone does this head-killing business, no one does the loss-making business, and I can't make money at a loss, right, do you think this is the reason? ”
Seeing that the owner of the grain store refused to lower the price, Zheng Zhendong beckoned to him, and when he approached, he whispered.
"Shopkeeper, please be accommodating, it's a big deal I'll buy more!"
Hearing that Zheng Zhendong wanted to buy more grain, the owner of the grain store became interested and hurriedly asked him.
"Oh? You want to sell more food, I don't know how much you want? It's negotiable! ”
When Zheng Zhendong heard him say this, he thought that he was worthy of opening a store to do business, this ability to talk nonsense is really perfect, and he will come when he opens his mouth.
Just now I said that I couldn't reduce the price, but now when I heard that I wanted to buy more, it immediately became negotiable.
But since people said so, Zheng Zhendong didn't say much, but asked the grain store owner directly.
"Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy food this time, if the price is right, I'll buy a thousand eight hundred catties and put it at home to eat slowly.
But if the price is too high, it is not cost-effective, and you can buy it at any time anyway.
Besides, it's not easy to keep food for too long, one is easy to spoil, and the other is easy to attract insects.
Shopkeeper, if you can't give a happy word, if not, I'll go to another grain store! ”
After listening to Zheng Zhendong, the owner of the grain store was also afraid of losing this big customer, so he hurriedly told him.
"Gotcha this classmate! Now that you've spoken, I'm going to have to give you a cheaper price!
If you want 1,000 pounds, then I'll give you a real price!
What do you think of this kind of grain per catty and another 500 yuan per catty (equal to about 5 cents after 55 years)? ”
After Zheng Zhendong heard this, his heart was happy, even if people didn't reduce the price, they also planned to buy grain.
I didn't expect this chat, it can be cheaper, don't look at it is only 500, but I can't stand to buy more, this 1,000 pounds is 500,000!
At this time, how much is the salary of a factory master!
is Yi Zhonghai, the eldest man in the courtyard, but it is only more than 400,000.
At present, there is no eight-level labor system, and there are not many old and easy to take.
Since people are cheap, Zheng Zhendong will not ink, and immediately went to the store with the grain store owner.
I chose 500 catties of stick noodles, 300 catties of white noodles, 100 catties of rice and 100 catties of cereals.
After careful inspection, after finding no problems with the grain, Zheng Zhendong spoke.
"Shopkeeper, you see that I bought so much grain from you, can you arrange it and help me send the grain back?"
As soon as the grain store owner heard this, he immediately stopped doing it and said it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It's not this classmate, how can there be someone like you!
Our family is in the food business, but there is no door-to-door delivery business!
If you don't want to go back, you can go out and turn left and call a board car to pull it back, and the price they ask for is not expensive, and it will be eight thousand! ”
"The shopkeeper, please ask the man to bring me the food to the door, and I'll go find the car." Zheng Zhendong said helplessly.
"Gotta go, I'll let them move in!" When the grain store owner heard Zheng Zhendong's words, he hurriedly said.
Seeing that the owner of the grain store agreed, Zheng Zhendong bowed his hand to him, and went out to the left.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw several tricycles parked on the side of the road, and four or five men were bragging and farting around!
Zheng Zhendong walked forward and asked when he arrived.
"A few masters, can you go to Nanluoguxiang?
I bought some grain from the grain store in front of me, which of you can help me transport it? ”
As soon as several board masters heard that there was business coming to the door, they didn't care about bragging, and they ran to Zheng Zhendong and shouted.
"Me!"
"I'll run!"
"Choose me!"
"I'm me, I'm familiar with this road, this comrade, you choose me!"
……
Several people shouted at Zheng Zhendong for this single job.
When Zheng Zhendong saw this situation, he directly shouted, "Stop!" Seeing that everyone was silent, he continued.
"That's it, don't fight, let's go over and have a look!
This is a bit of food, and you may not be able to pull it in one car! ”
After several board masters glanced at each other, they followed Zheng Zhendong back to the door of the grain store.
At this time, several guys in the grain store had already moved the grain bought by Zheng Zhendong to the door.
The few board masters who followed Zheng Zhendong saw that there was so much food, first glanced at each other, and then a middle-aged man said to Zheng Zhendong.
"This comrade, you don't have some food, let alone eight or nine hundred catties!
You're right, one car really can't pull so much!
In this way, we will install two cars, save one and pull too much, not to mention that we can't run on the road, and it is easy to have accidents, what do you say, comrade? ”
Zheng Zhendong didn't have any opinion on this matter, but he didn't know how much it would cost them to run.
"Two cars are just two cars, but how much does it cost you to get there?"
Four or five board masters discussed, and one of them, Wen San, opened his mouth and said.
"This comrade, you give us 10,000 yuan for a car, and the loading and unloading work is ours, and you don't have to do it, how about it?"
Zheng Zhendong saw that they were all hard-working people who worked hard to earn food, so he didn't bother to bargain.
"Okay, 10,000 is 10,000, but let's talk about it, you have to unload the car for me when you get to the place, and move the food to my home, otherwise I won't pay!"
"Don't worry, comrade! That's what we're doing, and we're sure to help you get things done! Otherwise, we won't have the shame to take your money! Wen San hurriedly replied after hearing this.
Zheng Zhendong heard Wen San say this, nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke.
"Okay, go get the bike over, and then we'll load it up and go back to the yard!"
After getting Zheng Zhendong's orders, several people walked back.
After a while, Wen San and another board master rode a board cart to the door of the grain store.
After parking the car, the two men began to load the car.
Zheng Zhendong watched them load the car, so he went to the store to settle the bill with the grain store owner.
The owner of the grain store saw Zheng Zhendong come in and greeted him warmly.
"You're back, I see two carts parked at the door, you called it, right?
I'll just say there's a board car over there, how many cars can you call this time?
One car doesn't pull so much food, you'd better call two! ”
"You're right about the shopkeeper, I just ordered two carts,
Don't worry, I buy so much food, if I use a board cart to pull it back, it will be too much work!
If you're not careful, something happens on the road, and that's really troublesome! ”
Hearing Zheng Zhendong say this, the grain store owner nodded and said.
"That's good, that's good, so I'm relieved!
This classmate, don't look at your young age, you are really thoughtful in your life and work!
It's not like some people, who are a lot older and do something frizzy!
So, this person is really incomparable, don't you say? This classmate! ”
When Zheng Zhendong heard him say this, he said, "You are polite, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Then he asked the owner of the grain store.
"Shopkeeper, please calculate, how much is the total? I'll give you the money! ”
"Okay, this classmate, you sit down and wait a while, I'll help you do the math!"
After saying this, the grain store owner turned his head and shouted to the back.
"All blessed, all blessed!"
"I'm here, boss, what do you command?" There was a voice of a reply from behind.
Hurry up, don't be stunned, serve tea to the guests! The owner of the grain store instructed the person who answered the phone behind.
The guy in the back got the order, and after a while, he came to Zheng Zhendong with a bowl of tea and said.
"This guest, please drink tea, but you have to slow down and be careful!"
Zheng Zhendong took the teacup first, and then said thank you to the guy.
The owner of the grain store saw that the man had already brought the tea, so he began to settle the account for Zheng Zhendong.
Zheng Zhendong held the teacup in his hand and looked around the inside of the grain store.
But in my heart, I thought, and now the above has begun to carry out public-private partnerships for large factories and other enterprises.
But once it's over, it's the turn of these grain stores, restaurants, taverns and inns and the like.
This grain store may become public one day.
When the next time I buy grain, maybe the owner of the grain store may go back to his hometown to farm.
Although Zheng Zhendong thought so, he didn't bother to remind the grain store owner.
One is public-private partnerships, which are the trend of the times and no one can stop them.
The other is the life and death of the grain store owner, what does it have to do with himself!
After all, he is a stranger, and he is not a Buddha or Bodhisattva, so there is no need to work hard for irrelevant people.
Just when Zheng Zhendong was thinking nonsense, the owner of the grain store had already finished settling the accounts.
I saw him holding an abacus and an account book and walking in front of Zheng Zhendong.
"Your account is finished, come and see, this is the number!
I'm doing the math in front of you, can you? ”
The owner of the grain store was in front of Zheng Zhendong again, and he calculated the accounts with an abacus.
With the grain store owner's report, Zheng Zhendong also went through the accounts carefully.
After checking the accounts, Zheng Zhendong took out the money, counted it and handed it to the grain store owner.
Then under the courtesy of the grain store owner, Zheng Zhendong went out.
At this time, the two board masters had already loaded all the grain into the car.
One car loaded about 600 pounds, and the other loaded 400 pounds.
After seeing that they loaded the car, Zheng Zhendong sat on the 400-pound car and told them to set off.
The two board masters, after getting Zheng Zhendong's orders, rode towards Nanluoguxiang.
On the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, I wish everyone a reunion, happiness and health!
I also wish you all hard work and a happy life in the new year!
Every day in the future, do good deeds and good luck, and everyone will live happily!
