Chen Qi found a deserted corner, and when he came out, he carried two baskets of bayberries in his left hand and two baskets of peaches in his right hand, and deliberately walked around to a crowded place.

Sure enough, the plump purple bayberries and the tender yellow juicy peaches immediately attracted the attention of residents buying vegetables in the market.

Many people see this rare fruit and smell the fruity fragrance, and their saliva begins to secrete involuntarily.

Some children even grabbed the corners of adults' clothes and clamored to buy fruit.

From a philosophical point of view, society in 1981 was in the "conflict between the people's growing material needs and backward social production."

On the one hand, people's lives have begun to settle down, especially those in cities. They have some money in their hands and have enough to eat, so they want to eat higher-end and more delicious food.

On the other hand, inconvenient transportation and lack of pesticides and fertilizers have resulted in low fruit yields. In addition, central Vietnam has been a land of plenty since ancient times, but it is not a major fruit-producing area. All kinds of fruits are rare.

So when Chen Qi's fruit appeared, it naturally caused a small commotion in the market.

He also deliberately walked around, trying to sneak in where there were more people. If he wasn't afraid of being caught, he would have wanted to shout a few times.

This advertisement is well done. I can only say that Mr. Chen is quite thick-skinned and does not have the sense of shame of an intellectual turning into a small businessman.

"Hey, young man, do you want to sell this peach?"

"Wow, these bayberries are big and purple. I wonder if they are sweet or not. Can you try them?"

After a while, Chen Qi was followed by several middle-aged women, expressing a strong desire to buy.

Chen Qi found a place to stop by the river, facing the market gate, an absolute Feng Shui treasure.

"Sisters, you are in for a treat today. These are authentic Mohu peaches and Xiaze bayberry. They are all produced by our family. They are absolutely sweet. If they are not sweet, they will cost you nothing."

"Wow, Mohu peach, I haven't seen you in so many years."

Apparently there were some knowledgeable people in the crowd, and they must have been the daughters of capitalists before liberation.

"How do you sell your peach?"

"Hey young man, how much does this bayberry cost?"

More and more people were asking about prices. Now Chen Qi slapped his forehead. He had overlooked the most important thing and forgot to ask about prices in this era.

He doesn’t know how much it will sell for. This is definitely a huge bug.

However, there are advantages to having more people, so Chen Qi decided to test it out:

"Sisters, I am from a rural area and am not sensible. I don't know how much they sell for in your city. But look, my peaches and bayberries are of the highest grade. Come on, come on, how do you guys taste them?"

After saying that, Chen Qi picked up a handful of red bayberries and gave them a taste to the group of middle-aged women surrounding them.

"Hmm, so sweet!"

“Delicious!”

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses who looked like an intellectual at first glance said:

"Young man, it's not easy for you to come to the city to sell some fruit. Do you think this will work? According to the prices in fruit and vegetable stores, peaches are generally 4 cents per catty and bayberries are 5 cents per catty. Do you think you can sell them at this price?

”

"Yes, the price is usually the same, but your fruits are much better than those in the fruit and vegetable store."

"Don't make it too expensive. We won't buy it if it's too expensive."

Everyone around was talking about it, obviously they all accepted this price. As for Chen Qi, of course he accepted it. Anyway, he had no cost, so he just regarded it as small profits but quick turnover.

In fact, he lost money on this price. After all, the fruit and vegetable stores sold ordinary products, but his fruits were top-notch fruits.

As it turned out, when it was really about to go on sale, another problem arose. Chen Qi didn’t have a scale, which was really a disaster.

It's a pity that he has been in business for two lifetimes. This is his first time doing business. Please forgive him for not being rigorous.

Fortunately, an aunt selling vegetables nearby was kind enough to help weigh it. A peach weighed about 6 taels, and a basket of bayberries weighed about 4 and a half kilograms.

Chen Qi quickly shouted:

"Dear sisters and aunts, let's do this. I don't have a scale anyway. These peaches are 2 cents each, and these bayberries are sold in a basket. A basket is 4 kilograms. It costs 2 yuan. If you want to buy it, hurry up."

At this price, Chen Qi seemed to be losing money. As ordinary citizens, aunts immediately realized that they could take advantage and immediately took out the money.

The middle-aged aunt wearing glasses who kindly reminded me just now was the first to take out 3 yuan.

"Come on, young man, give me a basket of bayberries and five peaches."

Chen Qi was so happy that he immediately burst into laughter:

"Okay, Auntie, please take it. I'll give you one more peach. Thank you for telling me the price just now. But the peach must be handled with care. The skin is thin."

The old aunt smiled all of a sudden: "Okay, the young man knows how to do business. Auntie wishes you a prosperous business."

Seeing someone taking action, several other middle-aged women also rushed to buy. After all, this kind of fresh fruit is so rare in summer, especially bayberry and peach, that even fruit and vegetable stores are not allowed to sell it.

Who doesn’t want to try something new?

After a while, the four baskets of fruits were sold out, and Chen Qi earned a total of 8 yuan.

Regardless of how easy it is to make money, if you really have to make the Xiaze people travel dozens of miles and climb over mountains and mountains to get out of the mountains, plus transportation costs, and most of the fruits are rotten on the road, you will definitely not make money when you get to the city.

It also takes two days to go back and forth.

Therefore, this business can only be done by Chen Qi, and others cannot copy it even if they want to.

Chen Qi was happy to have earned his first income since his rebirth, but the other middle-aged women surrounding him quit.

"Hey, young man, I've been waiting in line for a long time. How can you say that your fruit is gone?"

"That's right, do you still have any? Take them all out, don't wait until they are all rotten tomorrow."

Obviously, the Obasans who did not buy the fruit were not reconciled, and Chen Qi certainly would not miss this good opportunity to make money:

"Yes, yes, there are some at my dad's place. Just wait for me and I'll get them."

"Go quickly, go quickly, we will help you occupy this position."

Carrying the empty basket, Chen Qi quickly squeezed out of the crowd and ducked into an alley. What came out were four more baskets full of bayberries and peaches.

Just like this, I didn’t know how many times I ran. By the time the army dispersed, Chen Qi had already received 50 yuan in his pocket.

50 yuan was a huge amount of money in 1981. A fourth-level worker’s monthly salary was only 45 yuan. If it were a silly lady carrying the bricks, it would take three months to earn even if she didn’t take a day off.<

/p>

It only took Chen Qi half an hour to make money.

This made him feel like his hands were cramping while counting money.
