Chapter 6 Setting up a stall for the first time
[New book is not easy, and it is even more difficult for the slap author. Please hold the recommendation votes and the emperor will smash the votes on me???????? This way, the little people have the chance to be on the list.]
It was still early when I arrived in the town, and the sun had not gotten up, but those who were rushing for life had already occupied the streets and alleys.
Most of these people are various hawkers or street merchants.
There are all kinds of vendors selling pork, chickens and ducks, live fish, fruits and vegetables, clothes, toys, hardware, and all kinds of vendors.
The town is just a little big in total, and there are limited stalls in the market, so many people have placed their stalls in some relatively open places on the roadside.
Liu Qingshan followed the example and saw that there was an empty space next to a small stall selling chicken, so he quickly took the seat.
The aunt who sells chicken next to her is a fat and short woman in her fifties.
She has a round face and long, naturally curly hair. She has her long hair tied up and looks a bit fashionable.
She turned her head and saw that the two bags placed by the young man next to her seemed to contain bamboo shoots and other things, and asked curiously: "Little handsome guy, are you holding square bamboo shoots in your bag? It's strange, aren't square bamboo shoots already past?"
Bamboo bamboo shoots are also a kind of wild bamboo shoots in the mountains. However, their bamboo shoots are produced around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Auntie, I am not a square bamboo shoot, but winter bamboo shoots."
As he said that, he spread a snakeskin bag on the ground.
"Winter bamboo shoots." When the aunt heard this, her eyes lit up. "Don't these winter bamboo shoots be unearthed until after the Spring Festival?"
She came over to the bag and took a look, hey, it was really winter bamboo shoots.
Liu Qingshan explained patiently: "I dug these out of the ground thirty or forty centimeters deep with a hoe, and all of them didn't appear."
"Oh, there are no bamboo shoots that have emerged from the soil? That's a good thing..." The aunt couldn't help but praise.
"Yes, they are all tender bamboo shoots. Auntie, look, these winter bamboo shoots are fat and tender." Liu Qingshan picked up two bamboo shoots from the bag and handed them to the aunt.
When the aunt saw it, she immediately reached out to take it.
Whether these bamboo shoots are fat or not can be seen as soon as you start.
Although these guys are not big, they are very important. You can tell that they are all fat boys as soon as you weigh them.
Seeing the aunt's face full of love, Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Auntie, why don't you help me open a picture? I'm still a place."
"Hahaha." The aunt laughed at the moment when she heard this, "Since that's the case, just have two pounds. How much does one pound cost? Don't sell me more expensive."
"Auntie, you also know the price of winter bamboo shoots launched before the Spring Festival. They are all sold at a sky-high price. My winter bamboo shoots are large, so I will sell you ten yuan per pound. Do you think it's okay?"
"It's only ten yuan per pound?" The aunt was even more happy. "By the end of the year, it's almost the Chinese New Year, it's going to be sold for 17 or 8 yuan per pound. However, they are made of chopped bamboo shoot shells. But you're also very cheap."
"That's right, I just thought about small profits and quick turnover. Anyway, I'll dig this thing in the mountains. It's a little cheaper. If I can sell it today, I'll dig it again tomorrow. Auntie, it's two pounds and six taels here. Why don't you weigh an integer?" Liu Qingshan's scale has already hung a bag of bamboo shoots.
"Okay, no problem, it's only ten yuan per pound, just three pounds." The aunt was very happy.
After Liu Qingshan praised the bamboo shoots, the aunt paid thirty yuan.
Three pounds of winter bamboo shoots are only sold for thirty yuan, which is really cheap! You know, pork is now sold for thirty yuan per pound.
When the aunt returned to her stall with bamboo shoots, she was already thinking about how to make these winter shoots tonight.
Liu Qingshan was also happy. He never expected that his bamboo shoots would open before they even opened. Haha, it seems that these bamboo shoots will definitely be sold well today.
But before he was happy for a while, he immediately put away his smile.
I saw a few men in uniforms walking in his direction.
Those people checked each stall at a time, and within a while, several people carried a lot of things in their hands. However, Liu Qingshan did not see them paying.
Pooh!
When several people walked to Liu Qingshan's stall, a bald man in his thirties squatted down first, picked up a fat and tender bamboo shoot and asked, "This is a winter bamboo shoot."
Liu Qingshan glanced at the men standing in front of him, quickly withdrew his gaze, stared at the shiny lid of the big pot in front of him, and nodded: "It's winter bamboo shoots."
"This year's winter bamboo shoots have come so early." The bald man smiled at his companion behind him, "Or why should we bring some winter bamboo shoots back and let the cafeteria make winter bamboo shoots at noon."
The few people behind him nodded immediately.
One person said, "Okay, winter bamboo shoots are delicious, especially such tender winter bamboo shoots."
"Fried pork is good." Another person also said, "It's good to stew in oyster sauce."
Hearing these words, Liu Qingshan thought to himself, Damn, it seems that some blood is coming.
But he was unwilling to give up! Why did the bamboo shoots I dug up with great effort to give them to others for nothing?
So what if you are a meal? Although the things these people don’t seem to be worth much, he just doesn’t want to flatter these people like others, and he is rushing to deliver things to these people.
This kind of thing will also happen in this remote mountainous area, and this kind of thing will not happen in any town a little further away.
His eyes turned, he hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Leader, you are a person who knows the goods at first sight. I tell you that these are freshly unearthed winter bamboo shoots, fresh and tender. I originally sold them for twenty yuan per pound, but for your sake, I sold you ten yuan per pound."
Upon hearing this, several men in uniform looked at each other.
This is the first time they have encountered such an ignorant hawker. In the past, they came out to buy things, but those hawkers didn't charge any money. This man is good, and he doesn't understand the rules at all.
Seeing that a few people were a little stunned, Liu Qingshan hurriedly picked up the bamboo shoots in one hand and took them to the bald man without any effort: "Leader, look, these two bags of bamboo shoots are dozens of kilograms per bag, and two bags are more than 100 kilograms, all of which are fresh. There must be many people in your canteen eating, so you have to buy forty or fifty kilograms. If you buy them all, I will give you another discount, which is nine yuan per kilogram."
"There are more than a hundred kilograms of bamboo shoots in these two bags?" The bald man felt a little funny. Where did this come from? He bragged to the sky.
Oh, you have more than one hundred kilograms of bamboo shoots, and you carry a bag in one hand, and it is so easy to carry. You really think that you are the reincarnation of Popeye.
"Yes, it's really more than 100 kilograms. Why, leader, you want them all?" Liu Qingshan asked.
The bald man sneered: "Ha, I'll see if there are more than 100 pounds. If not, I will confiscate your bamboo shoots on the charge of being short of pounds."
"Please give in." Liu Qingshan immediately gave up his seat.
The bald man walked around behind the snakeskin bags on the floor and stood between two snakeskin bags filled with bamboo shoots. He thought, if you, a young man, can carry them, I can naturally do it. Do you think I am really taking other people's things to greed for that little advantage? Haha, I am trying to practice arm strength!
The bald man is still very confident in his arm strength, so he also imitates Liu Qingshan just now, grabbed a snakeskin bag with one hand and lifted it hard...
Thorns-
"Damn, why are your bag so trash? It breaks when you pull it?" Seeing that two bags of bamboo shoots were motionless, the man next to him quickly gave the leader a step.
Liu Qingshan laughed and said, "It's not that my bag is broken, but that the leader's crotch is opened. Hahaha, I said that the conscience of those garment factories is really bad. No matter how hard corners are cut, it cannot be reduced to these clothes. This is the work clothes of public servants. How can it be so shoddy? Hahaha!"
The bald man was sweating profusely, but his crotch was chilly.
He looked dark and said, "Speak less nonsense, weigh ten kilograms of bamboo shoots."
"Okay, leader, you're waiting."
Liu Qingshan quickly weighed ten kilograms of bamboo shoots and handed them to the bald man with both hands: "Thank you, the leader, for caring about the business of us ordinary people. You are such a great person."
The bald man took the bamboo shoots and shouted to his companion: "What are you looking at? Give the money."
Upon hearing this, a little brother quickly took out a hundred yuan and threw it to Liu Qingshan, and quickly caught up with his companion who had already walked away.
One of the men asked, "Why should I buy his bamboo shoots?"
Everyone was puzzled.
The bald man held his anger and said, "Didn't you see that he carries more than 100 pounds of things like carrying two pieces of tofu? If he plays a stubborn move, crushing your head is like pinching grapes."
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously shrank their necks.
As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. No, it should be that the elderly, weak, women and children can be bullied if they are sick and disabled, and bare-armed men should not bully them.
Seeing that the group of people actually paid Liu Qingshan, the aunt who sold chicken was a little suspicious of her life.
While there was no one in front of the stall, she quickly ran to Liu Qingshan and said, "Little brother, you are afraid you will offend people like this."
"What's wrong?" Liu Qingshan was puzzled, "I didn't force them to buy my bamboo shoots, so why did I offend people?"
"Oh, you don't understand." The aunt said with some concern. "Although we ordinary people can't meet big tigers, even mosquitoes can bite people to death. Do you know? Even if they dare not do anything to you, they will definitely trip you up."
"What can I do?" Liu Qingshan was also helpless.
If his family had a better life, he would probably have given these people something to flatter. But the problem is that his family is so poor that he has nothing to do with nothing.
"Oh, if you gave them a few kilograms of bamboo shoots just now, nothing would happen." The aunt regretted that she didn't tell the young man about the rules in the town at that time.
Liu Qingshan was not afraid: "Oh, aunt, don't be afraid, soldiers come to block the water and soil."
The aunt shook her head: "Oh, you're still too young."
