Chapter 59 Do you sell Tang Monk’s meat
The summer night is like water, fleeting. When the white fish belly appears in the east, the streets and alleys of Fangxian County are already becoming noisy. The vendors who got up early for the morning market are either on their way or have already set up their stalls. The excitement of the morning is here. Amidst the noise of vendors and the crowing of cocks and dogs, the festival slowly begins.
Anyone who does breakfast business gets up very early, and Li Wang and his wife are the same. They get up at around 4:30 in the morning, change briquettes, make soup, put the dumplings made last night on the steamer, and wait till 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 bit of the land in front of their shop, as long as it doesn't affect her. Customers 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 summer, it gets dark just after five o'clock. People rushing to the morning market will basically arrive after 5:40, and the people setting up stalls 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 big 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 a few words on top of 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 couldn't help but wonder. 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, start selling, start selling, hurry up, I'll wait for the side dishes to come home and cook noodles."
"Little classmate, hurry up and start weighing me. I bought it and took it home to make breakfast."
The middle-aged and elderly people waiting in line urged excitedly when they saw Le Xiao champion.
"Okay, I'll start the weighing right away." Le Yun, who was giggling, didn't even bother to eat breakfast. She stood in front of the stall and picked up a handful of beans and green vegetables and put them on the scale: "These tied green vegetables Beans come in a pound. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself at any time. If you are short of two packages, you will be refunded. It's five yuan a pound, not fifty cents a pound." "I know, we saw the words on the sign, I want baby cabbage. Celery, five handfuls of each, fifty yuan in total, give me the 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 check whether the portions were sufficient. The results were very satisfactory. 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 sell. She quickly packed the vegetables neatly: "Hey, okay, five handfuls of celery and cabbage, yours..."
< br>
The vegetables are tied up and easy to pick up. Only the eggplant needs to be weighed. One person can basically do it. Little Le Xiao classmate 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.
A few of them were shopping for groceries and wanted to buy watermelon. Seeing that their classmates were too busy, they stood silently. When they saw Li Daniu coming, they hugged the watermelon and called each other. The watermelons 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. But before he could figure it out, seven or eight people dragging shopping trailers came cheering towards him, and they shouted loudly: < br>
"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. He was 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, we are familiar with each other once, and we are all old customers."
People came to pick up the watermelons themselves. Two of them had actually bought watermelons before, cut them open and tasted them. Without saying a word, they gathered their friends and hurried 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?"
