Chapter 8 The Grace of a Meal

Liu Qingshan put out his own bamboo shoots in the open space at the entrance of the store.

The location is really good. It is not sun-dense, does not need to eat car exhaust, and there is also a stool to sit on.

After a while the bamboo shoots were placed, a man in a suit came to ask for the price. He learned that the fresh winter bamboo shoots were only sold for ten yuan per pound, and without thinking, he asked for fifty yuan.

When pork is thirty yuan per pound, the rare product like winter bamboo shoots is only sold for ten yuan per pound, which is really a bargain price.

However, not all buyers can be so happy.

Soon, Liu Qingshan met a customer who was difficult to deal with.

This is a man with a suit and shiny hair. The man looks about thirty years old and drives a small car.

When getting off the car, the man deliberately walked a few meters away from the car, and then suddenly looked back at the turn of his position, then took out a car key from his pocket, then exposed his slender arm with a watch from his long-sleeved shirt, and then pressed the lock key from the distance.

With the sound of the car beating, he showed a rather enchanting smile.

The man walked to Liu Qingshan's bamboo shoots and asked, "How to sell these bamboo shoots?"

Liu Qingshan replied: "Ten yuan per pound."

"It's so expensive, is it peeling off the skin?" the man frowned.

"Don't cut the shell."

"It's even ten yuan per pound if you don't peel the shell? This is too expensive. Fish meat is only sold for six yuan per pound. You sell for ten yuan per pound for vegetarian food, and you don't peel the shell. This is too scamming. It's a little cheaper, six yuan per pound, I want a lot of it."

When Liu Qingshan heard this person ask for a lot of bamboo shoots, he thought, he was afraid he was a wholesale person. If he was a wholesale person, he would certainly not be sold for six yuan per pound, but he could still be sold for eight yuan per pound.

After all, time is money.

It is obviously more cost-effective to go out wholesale and then go home to dig bamboo shoots than to stay here for a day.

So he asked tentatively: "How much do you want? If you want more, you will give you eight dollars per pound."

The man was still dissatisfied with the price of eight yuan, so he said, "Six yuan, six yuan per pound, I will ask you for two pounds."

Whatever?

How many pounds?

Liu Qingshan thought he had heard it wrong: "How many pounds do you want?"

"Two pounds!" The man raised two fingers wearing a gold ring and said, "Two pounds, I guess you won't be able to guard a customer like me for a day. I will ask you for two pounds of bamboo shoots at once. Nowadays, people buy groceries for half a pound."

Liu Qingshan was so amused and laughed.

I don't know if this person is pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

Two pounds are also called too much?

Just now, the man bought five kilograms at once and didn't give him a discount.

This person is either extremely stingy or has a brain problem.

"Ten yuan per pound, if you want it, if you don't want it, please drive your car away and don't block my business."

Liu Qingshan's words made the man feel a little unhappy.

No matter what, I am also a bank teller in the town. I am a senior figure in this town, but this rustic boy doesn't give me any face.

He felt unhappy, but when faced with a tough and tough young man, he couldn't do anything.

After all, if you are single for a long time, your kidneys will be depleted, and you will definitely not be able to beat others when you fight.

Moreover, such rats at the bottom of society are the best at biting people. Thinking of this, the man had to leave without hesitation.

I thought to myself, it’s not just you who sells winter bamboo shoots, so I don’t believe it. At worst, I can go to other places to take a look.

This is the beauty of winter bamboo shoots. Even a person who is extremely stingy will try every means to get this delicious food.

However, reality is a bit cruel.

In this town, except Liu Qingshan, no one sells winter bamboo shoots.

In this way, after searching the entire street, the man had to accept this cruel and helpless reality. So he returned to Liu Qingshan in a depressed manner.

"It's really not cheap," the man asked.

Liu Qingshan looked at him without saying a word, just shook his head.

"Forget it, then, then weigh these two bamboo shoots for me." The man searched through the pile of bamboo shoots and finally found the two smallest bamboo shoots.

Liu Qingshan took the bamboo shoots and said directly: "Six taels, six dollars."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately pulled out a bank card from his wallet and asked, "Can you swipe the card? I forgot to bring the money."

Liu Qingshan stared at him without answering.

The man had to put the card back in his wallet: "Then let's pay on WeChat."

Seeing the man leaving, the proprietress walked out and laughed laughing: "This is a bank teller, he always looks like this. So he is in his thirties and doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

Liu Qingshan said: "If I were a girl, I wouldn't have sex with such people."

"If you are handsome, you can still consider it." The boss's wife said to Jin Yan, "The problem is that he looks too stingy. He wants no nose and eyes, and only a mouthful of yellow teeth are left."

Liu Qingshan was happy.

The boss lady said again: "Let me promote it for you. I have a WeChat group, full of customers, and hundreds of people. I will help you take a photo of the bamboo shoots and send it to the WeChat group and your circle of friends."

"That's great, thank you, proprietress." Liu Qingshan immediately tidied up his clothes and hair in the glass behind him, and wiped his face with the sleeves of the clothes.

I thought to myself, I’m going to be on camera soon, so I must clean up and look better. Maybe I’ll get out of singleness by accident, haha.

"Boss, I'm ready." As he said that, he sat seriously on the small stool and looked at the boss's cell phone.

The boss lady was puzzled: "What are you ready for?"

"Don't you say you want to promote it for me?"

"Yes, I have already taken photos of bamboo shoots for you and sent them to WeChat groups and Moments." The proprietress turned over her phone to show him.

I saw that the photo on the boss’s mobile phone was a pile of bamboo shoots, and there was nothing else.

It turns out that I am so passionate.

Liu Qingshan smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it's pretty good, it's pretty good."

Don't say it, the power of this network is really different.

After a while, many customers came to buy bamboo shoots.

When Liu Qingshan learned that they all saw the news from the boss’s WeChat group and circle of friends, he was not stingy. The extra scattered scale heads were all hung with zeros and only integers were collected.

For example, a boss asked for six kilograms and weighed six kilograms and two kilograms, while Liu Qingshan only collected sixty.

Of course, if it is six pounds and three ounces, then you still have to collect sixty-three.

After all, three dollars are not a small amount. To put it in the greasy man’s mind before, it’s half a pound of fish.

However, everyone can understand it more and knows that winter bamboo shoots are difficult to dig now, so no one bargains.

Even if there is, it is just a meaning. After clearly knowing that Liu Qingshan will not lower the price, no one will be obsessed anymore.

In this way, by lunch time, more than 100 kilograms of bamboo shoots had been sold.

At this time, the sun was booming. Although Liu Qingshan could not be exposed, the astigmatism was also a bit boring and uncomfortable.

Especially when it comes to meal time, it feels so hot and hungry.

What’s even more hateful is that the fragrance that comes out of the noodle and fast food restaurant on this street is so tempting.

As soon as he saw a guest away, Liu Qingshan's stomach croaked and screamed, like a frog in the field in spring, and it was so loud that it was so loud that it was endless.

The boss lady walked out with a plate and smiled and said, "Little handsome guy, it's time to eat."

Liu Qingshan looked up and saw that the plate the boss was holding was filled with white rice. On the rice, it was covered with scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a lot of pork.

The boss’s wife handed the plate to Liu Qingshan: “Hold it, be careful, the food and food are hot.”

At this moment, Liu Qingshan's heart became hotter.

He was a little moved, holding the fragrant meal, but he didn't sip. He just looked up at the smiling boss lady and said, "Boss, I'm taking up your place in vain and eating your meal in vain. How can I repay you?"

"Hahaha, what's the answer? It's not about filming TV series. It's too funny to say such things. It's not easy to make a living. And it's a fellow villager. You helped me so much in the morning. It's not natural to invite you to have lunch."

I used to hear people say that people are beautiful and kind-hearted. It seems that this word is really a little bit used on the boss lady and it is not too much.

Liu Qingshan said: "In the future, as long as I am here, if you have any heavy work, just talk. Don't be polite to me. I lack anything, but I don't lack strength."

The boss lady was happy: "This is what you said."

Liu Qingshan gave a large spoonful of rice into his mouth, patted his chest and said, "What I said, a real man can't catch up with just one word."

Seeing that the handsome guy looked a little funny, the boss smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be so rude from now on. If there are heavy objects to be moved, I will really use you."

Liu Qingshan nodded vigorously while eating with big mouthfuls.

He was so hungry.

If the boss’s wife hadn’t had this plate of rice, he would probably have to be hungry until he sold out the bamboo shoots before he could go home.

As for fast food or rice noodles, it doesn't exist.

Because his family has not been rich since childhood, Liu Qingshan has become accustomed to saving money. As long as he can go home to eat, he will definitely not eat outside.

I still remember when I was in junior high school, I took classes in the middle school in the town. Because I could go home on Friday afternoons, every Friday, he only had breakfast at school and hungry for lunch. He returned home from school in the evening and only had lunch and dinner together.

This way, you can save two dollars in meals.

Two yuan may not be much, but for Liu Qingshan's family at that time, it was also a lot of money. After all, the family was raised by his father, and his mother was sick and weak, and she took medicine for many years.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan knew since childhood that money can save a dollar.

The boss's wife saw that Liu Qingshan was eating voraciously, and she didn't bother him anymore.

In fact, she hired a male friend in the store. Although this guy is not as strong as this handsome guy, he is also bigger than ordinary people. So the heavy work in the store is done by the guy.

And the reason she said that just now was simply to make this handsome guy feel more at ease.
