Chapter 59 Do you sell Tang Monk’s meat?
The summer night is like water, fleeting. When the fish belly white appears in the east, the streets and alleys of Fang County are already becoming noisy. The vendors who got up early to rush to the morning market are either on their way or have already left. Stalls, the excitement of the morning slowly begins with the noise of vendors, the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs.
Anyone who does breakfast business gets up very early, and the same goes for Li Wang and his wife. They got up at around 4:30 in the morning, changed briquettes, cooked soup, put the dumplings made last night on the steamer, and waited until dawn. Open a shop.
Opening the rolling shutter, Li Wang subconsciously looked at the street in front of the door. This pedestrian street is divided into two sections. One section is the golden zone, and stalls are not allowed in the middle of the street. The other section used to be a vegetable market, but now stalls can also be set up for business.
The shops on both sides of the street, those selling meat and bread, open early in the morning, and those selling clothes usually open after 8:30. At first glance, there are very few open shops, and under the street lights are all vegetable stalls for the morning market. and poultry sellers.
He looked around and saw little Lele driving a tricycle approaching from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel happy. Little Lele worked hard to catch the morning market, so he probably set off before dawn.
He stood at the door, happily watching the little girl come to the door, and went up to help park the car: "Xiao Lele, I said hello to the owner of the shop next door yesterday. You can occupy a little space in front of their shop, as long as it doesn't affect her. Customers can just come in and out of the store."
"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Le Yun almost jumped up with joy.
Li's shop operates breakfast, and there are many customers in the morning. She can occupy up to half of the width of the shop, which can accommodate tricycles, but it is not easy to put watermelons. It would be much more convenient if she could occupy some space in front of the shop next door.
Li Daniu, who got up early to prepare to be a helper, also ran out of the shop and waited for Xiao Lele to mark a spot.
Le Yun jumped out of the car, spread a plastic paper mat on the ground, and hurriedly unloaded the goods. The Li family also helped. The vegetables and beans were all bundled into bundles. It was easy to carry, and one hug could hold a lot for five people. Soon all the vegetables were moved down, and the eggplants were poured out of the cart.
Uncle Li helped pack the vegetables, Le Yun went to transport watermelons again, and the Li couple went to work in the store.
In the summer, it gets dark just after five o'clock. People rushing to the morning market will basically come after 5:40, and the people setting up stalls also have enough time to sort out their goods.
Le Yun left in a hurry, and about forty minutes later, she returned to the Li family shop with a cart of watermelons and several large bags of things.
Uncle Li packed all the vegetables and once again helped Xiao Lele move the large and small bags back to the corner of the store. The two of them also carried a dozen watermelons and hid them first.
Le Yun found some cardboard and wrote some words on it and put it on the car and watermelon. She put the newly bought desktop electronic scale on the ground. Everything was ready. She was eating breakfast. When she was halfway through eating, she heard shouting from outside. She ran out to take a look, but she didn't know. There was a long queue of more than a dozen people in front of the melons and vegetables, mostly middle-aged and elderly people.
Le Xiaoxiao has an excellent memory. At a glance, he found that they were all the people who bought cucumbers and tomatoes yesterday. In a word, they are all repeat customers. If there are repeat customers, it means that they tasted the goods yesterday and knew they were good. They just came today, which also indicates today's business. Not too bad.
This is the time to get rich again! Le Yun was so happy that she almost fainted. She looked at the price she marked, five yuan per pound. Did anyone see it?
"Little classmate, it's time to start selling. Start selling quickly. I'm waiting for the side dishes to go home and cook noodles." "
Little classmate, hurry up and start selling. I bought some and went home to make breakfast."
See the middle-aged and elderly people waiting in line. Le Xiaozhuangyuan urged excitedly.
"Okay, I'll start the weighing right away." Le Yun, who was giggling, didn't bother to eat breakfast. She stood in front of the stall, picked up a handful of beans and green vegetables and put them on the scale: "These tied green vegetables There are handfuls of beans per pound. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself at any time. If you are short or two packs, you will be refunded and the price will be five yuan per catty, not fifty cents per catty." "I know, I know,
we saw the words on the sign, I want baby cabbage. Celery, five handfuls each, total fifty yuan, give you money." "
If you don't believe me, I won't come. I want two pounds of eggplants, three handfuls of cabbage and beans, forty yuan, right?"
Most of the people who bought cucumbers and tomatoes yesterday secretly went to test whether the portions were sufficient. They were very satisfied with the results. The portions were sufficient and the quality was too good to say. They had never eaten such delicious cucumbers and tomatoes. So I came here early this morning. Even if vegetables are a bit expensive, I still have to buy some and try them. If they don’t taste good, I’ll spend money to teach them a lesson.
Le Yun thought her price was expensive and few people bought it, but she didn't expect everyone to be so quick to do it. She hurriedly packed the vegetables: "Hey, okay, five handfuls of celery and cabbage, yours..." The vegetables are ready
. , easy to pick up, only the eggplant needs to be weighed, and one person can basically do it. Xiao Le is like a little bee, spinning around happily with a bright smile.
Li Daniu hurriedly finished his breakfast and went to work. He sat on the pile of watermelons and focused on weighing.
Originally, a few of them were shopping for groceries and wanted to buy watermelons. Seeing that their classmates were too busy, they stood silently. When they saw Li Daniu coming, they hugged the watermelons and called them. They were all green and round, and looked similar in appearance. The only difference was their size.
By about 6:30, there were more and more people on the street, and there was an endless stream of people coming to Li's shop. Most of them were repeat customers, and some were brought here by acquaintances. This shows how powerful the crowd is. .
It started selling at around six o'clock, and before eight o'clock, all the vegetables were sold out, leaving only a small pile of eggplants. People who came later found that there were no vegetables, so they could only buy eggplants. Within twenty minutes, there were no more eggplants. , only half a cart of watermelons was left.
Little Le thought that watermelons would not be easy to sell, and he was thinking about getting one. It would be tempting to commit crime. Before he could figure it out, seven or eight people dragging shopping trailers came cheering towards him, and they shouted loudly:
" Here are three watermelons."
"Can you not limit the purchase? Three feels so little. I want five."
"..."
Li Daniu was embarrassed. Xiao Lele was indeed the reincarnation of a fortune star. Everything he sold was so smooth. The old man is jealous, okay?
"For the sake of old customers, we limit the purchase to five. If you buy more, it will spoil if you don't finish them all." Miaomiao is still a repeat customer, and some of them are people who bought food before. Leyun is also embarrassed to be too rigid. , make a temporary decision to change the purchase limit.
"That's right, once it's new, it's familiar again. We are all old customers."
People who came in a hurry went to pick up the watermelons by themselves. Two of them actually bought watermelons before and went back to cut them and taste them. Without saying anything, they shouted Friends and companions rushed over to grab the goods again.
After sending out a group of old customers, about a quarter of the watermelon was left. Le Yun took the time to wipe her sweat and heard a bitter female voice: "Watermelon costs five yuan a pound. Do you think it's Tang Monk's meat?" (End of Chapter
