Chapter 20: Raising prices on the floor
. Dad Le is not stupid. He understands why the little cotton-padded jacket said before that he cannot share it with others. This thing is probably really rare. He also vaguely regrets it. If he had known about it, he would not have tasted it. He would go home and take it easy. Eat so well.
Therefore, when he heard that the young man spent money to buy it, he didn't say anything and held back. It was all up to Lele himself.
"I won't sell it." Le Yun shook her head: "Ten yuan a pound, less than two pounds a pound. If you buy two pieces for ten yuan, I will suffer a big loss. I don't do this kind of business." County Magistrate Tang and others said:
" ..."Why is this little classmate so smart?
"...Then, just one?" The child's mother couldn't coax him well, and the heart-wrenching cry made him feel distressed, so the young man had no choice but to take a step back.
"Okay, I'll give you one." Le Yun opened her backpack with heartache, picked out the smallest one from a bag of tomatoes, received the money with one hand, and delivered the goods with the other.
When the young man got the tomato, his flesh ached, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The appearance of the fruit was so attractive, red, juicy, and had an indescribable smell.
"There are seven more. Well, don't look at me. I won't sell it. Ten yuan a pound is a big loss. You must know that the old man who grows tomatoes only grows more than a dozen seedlings a year. Ten yuan a pound is not worthwhile. I didn’t want to plant it last year. The big boss who bought the fruit tried his best to say good things to get the fruit. The old man only planted red pomegranate this year because of the big boss’ sincerity. He probably won’t be able to eat it next year.” Le
. Yun counted, ate two, sold one, and had seven more. She was rejoicing when she saw the eager eyes of County Magistrate Tang and others. She quickly tightened her grip. This is good stuff. She won't be stupid. Even the county magistrate couldn't give it away for free. Her family was in such a difficult situation, and the county magistrate didn't give her family any extra care. He wanted her to get good things to curry favor with her, but there was no way.
The young man who bought the tomatoes returned to the child with the bright red fruit. The child, who had been howling just now, snatched it away and started to devour it hungrily.
The fragrant smell once again ravaged everyone's taste buds and hearts.
After taking a few bites, the child had two streaks of water on his face, burst into tears and laughed, making a "gurgling" sound, and said vaguely, "It's delicious."
Young parents are afraid that their children will have to ask questions after eating, so they hug their children to avoid them.
"Little classmate, can you sell one to me?" Secretary Zhang, who went to the countryside with the county magistrate, couldn't resist the temptation. Seeing that others were showing signs of making a move, he quickly took action.
"There are only seven left, and I can't bear to sell them." Le Yun hugged the bag and pretended to be a food protector.
"Twelve yuan a piece, is that okay? I'll buy one." Secretary Zhang raised the price himself. Although buying a fruit for twelve yuan is ridiculous, it doesn't matter. People still buy a shrimp at the beach for more than ten yuan. .
"Twelve yuan, don't sell it. If it's fifteen yuan, I'll cut it off and sell you one." Le Yun raised the price by three yuan.
"..." Everyone just wanted to say, do you think it's a ginseng fruit?
Secretary Zhang was in great pain, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation and gritted his teeth: "Okay."
Wow, another profit!
Le Yun didn't feel guilty at all because of her big mouth. She was extremely happy inside. One tomato sold for fifteen yuan. Oh, this business is so cost-effective.
She took the money first, picked and picked in her backpack, and then picked out the smallest one for Secretary Zhang. Her tomatoes were a little bigger than those on the market. The smallest one was as big as her little fist, and the largest one was as big as an adult man. His fist is big, at least six or seven taels.
Secretary Zhang bought one, and the other three people couldn't sit still and immediately took out the money: "Little classmate, sell one to me too." "
No." Le Yun covered her backpack desperately: "These are bigger than the two that were sold just now. They're all big, and I want to take them away for only fifteen yuan, so I won't do it!"
Pfft -
the onlookers vomited blood, this... this is clearly raising the price!
Profiteer!
Two words came to County Magistrate Tang's mind. This kid will definitely be a profiteer when he grows up. Thinking about it, I think it's understandable. He was in the third year of high school at the age of fourteen and had skipped a grade before. Can a stupid kid do that?
"Little classmate, how much do you want...?"
Three civil servants wanted to vomit blood, but they were just a little slow, and the little girl had to increase the price. Isn't this a clear rip-off?
They knew clearly that their classmates were taking them for granted, but they still had to bite the bullet. They had no choice but to ask for the purchase. They were civil servants, and their every move was watched. In full view of the public, they could not break their promises, let alone Accusing a junior classmate of being unkind.
"This is seventeen, this is eighteen, this is twenty, there's no need to talk about one penny less." Le Yun took out three fruits and showed them seriously.
When everyone saw it, they thought, okay, considering the size of the sale, the three civil servants immediately counted the money. If there was no change, one person gave fifty yuan, and the other two added five yuan, making it fifty-five.
After giving the money, the three of them immediately took the fruit for fear that their classmates would regret it.
The three guys here have just picked up the fruit, and Secretary Zhang has already eaten up all his fruits. His eyes are particularly bright, and he eagerly looks through his wallet: "Little classmate, here's another one!"
Peat!
The other people in the waiting room wanted to scold them. They bought a tomato for fifteen yuan. After eating it, they felt that they had been cheated. They wanted to have another one. Is it really that delicious?
"Not for sale!" Le Yun looked at the remaining three, covered it with one hand, touched one with the other, took a big bite, put it down, took the second one, put it to her mouth, took a bite, and then took the third one.
"Don't, don't, don't bite!" Secretary Zhang was anxious and wanted to stop it, but the little girl bit her down. When he saw that the last one was also marked, his heart was bleeding with distress. He took one step slower, then one step slower. ah!
The three civil servants who bit the fruit as soon as they got it, before they had time to praise them, saw the little girl bite the remaining three fruits with her teeth, their expressions were speechless.
The most speechless person was County Magistrate Tang. He ate a tomato and felt refreshed. He also wanted to buy one to enjoy himself, because it was difficult for him to express his identity as the magistrate, so he secretly thought that he would quietly talk to the little boy later. The classmates discussed it, and in the end, in order to save the fruit, the little classmate bitten all the fruit to prevent others from prying at him, and he was also drunk.
Le Yun packed the fruit that left teeth marks after she took a bite, and winked at her father with a smile: "Dad, you don't mind your girl's saliva, do you?"
"No, Dad will never dislike the little cotton-padded jacket's saliva." Lele's father was moved by the child's behavior of biting the fruit, and his heart was filled with warmth. Lele did this just to help him keep the fruit. , let him keep it for himself.
Lele was reluctant to sell such expensive things and insisted on leaving them to him. What else could he say?
Dad Le's heart was burning hot, and his eyes were also warm. He stretched out his big rough hand and touched the child's head. The feeling of relief overflowed in his eyes. With such a filial girl, what else could he ask for in life!
