Chapter 16: The Bottom Line and Kindness
At this time, it is just said that you are not allowed to do business, as long as you are not doing it on the street, no one will care about you at all.
In fact, the main thing is that the red armband does not appear, and you secretly do something to buy and sell, not to mention that it is not seen by people, even if it is seen by people, it will turn a blind eye.
After entering the pigeon market, Fang Yuan casually found a place to squat down, he didn't take out the food stamps, although there were a lot of people now, but there were still not enough.
He had to wait until it was crowded to sell it, and no one would have time to pay attention to him at that time.
In about half an hour, there were more people.
The pigeon market is not only a place to buy and sell all kinds of bills, but also to sell things, and some people secretly take eggs out to sell.
There are even fish, chickens, and even meat for sale.
Of course, the main transaction is still all kinds of bills, and everyone is not rich, so they are basically forced to sell what they eat.
Either the family needs money, or they sell these things to buy food.
Also, if Fang Yuan had these things, he would definitely not take them out and sell them, just like the fine grain stamps in his hand, no matter how much money you give a catty, he would not sell them.
Fang Yuan took the schoolbag off his neck, then put it on the ground, and took out fifty catties of coarse grain tickets from his arms.
Yes, today he did not take out 20 catties at once, as he did yesterday, but today he directly took out 50 catties.
Because he wants to sell it out as soon as possible, and then go back, of course, it would be better if he could buy something to go back.
"Little comrade, how much is your food stamp?" Fang Yuan had just put the food stamps away, and an old man squatted down and asked.
"Eight cents a pound. ”
Hearing the price quoted by Fang Yuan, the old man frowned, it was estimated that it was too expensive.
At this time, another middle-aged man squatted down and said to Fang Yuan: "I want all eight cents a pound." ”
"Uh!" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man and shook his head and said, "I'm sorry uncle, this old man bought it first, if the old man doesn't want it, I'll sell it to you." ”
Although Fang Yuan really wanted to sell these food stamps as soon as possible, he also had his own bottom line, and this middle-aged man had no bottom line.
However, this can also be understood, at this time, who cares about the bottom line! The bottom line cannot be eaten.
"I'll give you nine cents and a pound, sell it to me. The middle-aged man said.
Fang Yuan shook his head at the middle-aged man and continued, "I'm sorry uncle, I said that this old man can't sell it to you if he doesn't buy me." ”
Eight cents a pound is the price that Fang Yuan called himself, and he will never do anything to increase the price on the ground, this is a matter of principle.
Fang Yuan had been in business for more than ten years in his previous life, how could he not understand this truth, those who did things to increase prices on the ground would not have any good results in the end.
"Eight...... I want it for Bamao, but it's just ......" the old man looked at Fang Yuan and said.
Although he didn't say what he said later, Fang Yuan also knew what he was going to say, and said, "Grandpa, it's okay, I shouted out eight cents a pound, if you want to buy it, it's eight cents a pound." ”
"Okay, okay, I want it. The old man hurriedly took out the money, counted forty yuan and handed it to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan counted it, then handed the food stamps to the old man and said, "You count them." ”
"No, no, I trust you. The old man said.
Seeing that the old man had bought the food stamps, although the middle-aged man was very angry, he didn't say anything, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute. Fang Yuan said to the middle-aged man.
"What's wrong?"
"I still have fifty pounds of food stamps here, and if you want it, I'll sell it to you for nine cents a pound. ”
Didn't the middle-aged man get nine cents a pound just now? Then he sold him nine cents.
"You...... Aren't you selling eight cents?"
"That's right, but that was just now, and now it's Jiumao, if you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else." ”
Hearing Fang Yuan say this, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "I want it, give it to me." ”
Fang Yuan took out the food stamps, shook them in his hand and said, "Give the money first." ”
"Here you go. The middle-aged man took out a few ten-yuan bills and handed them to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan took it and counted it, it was fifty yuan, then took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man along with those food stamps.
The middle-aged man counted the food stamps, glanced at Fang Yuan, and left directly.
Fang Yuan knew that this middle-aged man would definitely be angry with him, but he was going to do that.
After the middle-aged man left, Fang Yuan also picked up his schoolbag and left, Fang Yuan was small and small, so after he got into the crowd, it was impossible for others to find him at all.
Soon Fang Yuan found another place, because he had been selling things for a relatively short time, and few people would see him selling things at all.
It's the same this time, as soon as he took out the food stamps, he was bought, and it was still eight cents a pound.
In fact, this is very normal, what is most lacking now, it is definitely not money, although the salary is not high now, but who doesn't save some money!
If someone monopolizes the pigeon market, let alone eight cents a pound of coarse grain stamps, even if it is three dollars a pound, some people will buy them.
But it's so easy to monopolize the pigeon market! There are not 3,000 but 2,000 people who come here every day, and it's impossible to monopolize it.
And there will be new faces every day, so don't think about it at all, just like Fang Yuan, he will come here for these two trips, and leave when he sells out.
Half an hour later, Fang Yuan sold the last bit of coarse grain ticket in his hand, and at this time, he changed places again.
Originally, he didn't want to sell coarse and fine food stamps, but he had a little too much in his hand, so he planned to buy half of it, that is, one hundred catties.
Coarse and fine food stamps are more expensive, costing five cents a pound.
Fang Yuan first took out ten catties and was ready to try it, and in the same way, he was bought by someone as soon as he took it out.
After knowing what was going on, it didn't take long for Fang Yuan to sell out the one hundred catties of coarse and fine grain stamps, but he still didn't leave.
It's just that this time it's not for sale, but for a trip, I have to buy something to go back!
Fang Yuan walked through the crowd, and soon saw an old lady selling eggs, so he ran over.
It's strange that everyone is very active in buying food stamps, but no one buys eggs, you know, eggs are a good thing!
"Auntie, how do you sell these eggs?" Fang Yuan squatted down, picked up an egg in the basket and asked.
"Five cents a piece. ”
"Uh!" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, somewhat understanding why no one was buying eggs anymore.
This thing is really not cheap, an egg costs five cents, and a pound is at most seven, that is, a pound needs three dollars and five cents.
This thing is much more expensive than fine grains, of course it is nothing under normal circumstances, but it is not under normal circumstances, and now everyone is most concerned about being able to eat a few more meals.
A pound of grain, not to mention fine grain, even if it is coarse and fine grain, it is enough for a family to eat, but eggs, one pound may not be enough for two people to eat.
So it's normal that no one buys it, and at this time, who cares if they can eat well or not!
However, this didn't matter to Fang Yuan, he had enough food, so he had to not only eat well now, but also eat well, at least nutrition.
"Bring me ten!"
Hearing that Fang Yuan wanted ten, the eldest lady's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you." ”
It can be seen from the dress of this old lady that she is not from the city, but should be a villager from a nearby village.
Although it is said that it is the era of eating big pot rice, there are still people who secretly raise chickens and rabbits or something, just to exchange for some money.
But when Fang Yuan got the egg, he frowned, this thing was raw, and it was easy to break.
The old lady also found out about this, looked at Fang Yuan a little embarrassed and said, "Forget it, don't buy it." ”
Anyway, Fang Yuan was also a child, and the eldest lady was moved by compassion.
In fact, people in this era are very kind, even if they do something out of the ordinary, it is forced by life.
"It's okay, so be it! How many do you have here?"
"Thirty or so!"
"Sell it all to me, and the basket you can see how much it is, and sell it to me. ”
"No, no, the basket is worthless, I'll give it to you. ”
This kind of basket doesn't look like the kind of basket that Shangyuan bought in the city last time, but the kind that he made himself, and there are many of these things in the countryside.
Basically, there are several in every household, and as the old lady said, they are not worth anything at all.
"Okay, count the eggs. ”
The old lady counted the eggs, and there were thirty-two in all.
Fang Yuan counted out sixteen yuan and handed it to the old lady, and took the basket away.
After buying the eggs, Fang Yuan was about to go back, but he didn't go north, but went south, and south to the city.
Of course Fang Yuan wouldn't go to the city, he just walked this way, and just as Fang Yuan was about to walk to the gate of Desheng Gate, he turned around and went west.
Fang Yuan had gone around in a big circle again, there was no way, it wasn't because of the eggs he bought, but the huge amount of money in his arms.
This time, Fang Yuan sold more than 400 yuan for the coarse grain stamps alone, and another 100 catties of coarse and fine grain stamps for 15 yuan, adding up to nearly 600 yuan.
This is still excluding the money for buying eggs, 600 yuan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge amount of money.
Fang Yuan went around a little far this time, when he saw the gate of Tsinghua University, Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to go around here.
But it was not far from where he lived, and not far north was a bridge, and after crossing this bridge, he walked a few hundred meters more, and then he went all the way east.
And at this time, the sky had already darkened, but fortunately it was now icy and snowy, and everywhere was white, so that Fang Yuan would not be unable to see the road clearly.
