Reborn, I am a trendsetter
Chapter 5 Morning Market
Coming out of the wholesale market, Zhou Xinglian rode Wei Tao's second-hand transmission bicycle. He put an enthusiastic hand on Aunt Liu's tricycle. Using the inertia of her own riding force and the power of her arms to push, she helped the other party's fully loaded tricycle.
Arrive at your destination with a little more ease.
Wei Tao said hello and left first on his three-wheeled motorcycle. In the morning market at this time, there were no designated stalls that had to be handed over to the management department over the years. Either bricks occupied the space, or whoever came first came first served.
, a dedicated person will come over every day to collect fees, ranging from two yuan to five yuan per stall.
All the good areas have either been reserved in advance, or there are various bricks, drawstrings, bags and other items on the ground to form "occupied seats". In some places, there are big characters "written" with red bricks, indicating
There are people in this place.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even if it is just a temporary morning market stall that is three feet away from you and me away from you. During the two mornings when he helped Aunt Liu busy in the morning market, Wei Tao saw with his own eyes the disputes caused by the competition for position.
Quarreling is a standard feature, and I have to admire some women's almost invincible verbal attacks in this regard. The scolding is unpleasant, the voice is loud, and the chatter is quite a bit like I will "swear (melt) you"
, I'm sorry that you dare to argue with me about this matter.
There is also pushing and shoving, and some strong men will inevitably bully some who are weak or weak-tempered. Wei Tao feels that his body is much stronger while pushing the three-wheeled motorcycle, even though there is still the downy hair on his mouth that teenagers have not completely shed.
, inside his body is an old man who has seen the world.
It doesn't matter if you're not big, as long as you're strong enough, and you won't have any fear of age suppression for some young people in their twenties. There's a big wrench in the car. Since there are rivers and lakes, if you really meet them, then it's okay.
There is no shortage of courage to swing the fist first and then the wrench.
I didn’t want to bully anyone, but I didn’t want to face the image of women and children being bullied.
The 'stalls' of the morning market have already been divided into separate stalls for the old fried dough sticks. Even though Wei Tao came early, he only found a 'sandwich' position in the middle of the entire morning market. On the left was a fried dough sticks.
On the right side of the soy milk breakfast shack is an old man selling small potted flowers. He doesn't bring many flowers. This 'slot' is only two meters wide. Normally, some vendors with push carts sell some things here.
Doing a morning market in an area connected by a road on both sides. In fact, the location in the middle area is definitely not a good location, especially for small vendors like you and me. Many people either walk in and buy or walk out.
I buy it when shopping, most of the middle is occupied by breakfast stalls, as well as some scattered knick-knacks, selling a small potted flower, some insoles and socks, some cockroach poison and mouse poison, etc. It doesn’t need a big space, just a small open space.
If you can do business, it doesn't matter whether people will come here tomorrow.
It is more accurate to call grandpa according to his age, but it is not disrespectful to call him uncle. After all, young people who can make a living on their own can be called adults. It cannot be said that calling an old man uncle in this way is disrespectful.
"Uncle, am I not going to stop you?" Wei Tao took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to the old man. Learning to smoke is very common at his age. Even junior high school children are caught smoking by their parents.
Not a few.
The old man glanced at Wei Tao and replied calmly: "It's okay."
Wei Tao handed over the cigarette again, and the old man took it. He took out a lighter and lit it for the other person. He also lit one, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and spread the tarpaulin that his fourth aunt got on the ground. This thing is good for rainy days.
It can be placed on top of vegetables to protect it from rain, and it can also be spread on the ground.
Boxes of vegetables were moved down. In the past, it was difficult to move several dozen kilograms of vegetables. Now, with both arms strong, it was easy to lift them up. By the time Zhou Xinglian arrived on his bicycle, Wei Tao had already sorted the vegetables into categories.
Aunt Liu looked around, didn't say anything, and continued to look for a place while pushing the tricycle. She was a woman. In this 'competitive' morning market, the 'fixed place' was always occupied by others. In the end, it could only be in the middle of the aisle.
Or extend the bifurcated area and find a place to place it.
Seeing that Wei Tao had found a good place, she felt uncomfortable. She had felt uncomfortable ever since she saw the couple buying a three-wheeled motorcycle. Or earlier, when she saw Wei Tao, who was 17 or 18 years old.
As a young man, he was at the age when he wanted to have fun and face, so he was working hard, dirty and looking a little low-spirited helping his mother to sell vegetables, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"Mom." Wei Tao called his mother.
Even though she was "heartless", Zhou Xinglian also felt the alienation of Sister Liu. When she saw the place her son was looking for, and then thought about the two days when she helped Sister Liu sell vegetables, she was always in the side road, she felt a little unspeakable.
awkward.
From dark to dim light, and then to the bright light before sunrise, in a short time, the two of them lowered their heads and sorted the vegetables in the cartons into good and bad places. When they looked up again, it was already dawn, and the morning market was bustling with fireworks.
It also began to emerge gradually.
"How much does a pound of cucumber cost?"
“How much do tomatoes cost?”
"How much are these potatoes?"
The vegetables produced by Wei Tao and his son are not better than others, and the location of the stall is average. The advantage is that the flow of people in the morning market is large enough. Every household consumes these home-cooked vegetables on a daily basis.
There are many elderly people living in this old community next to the morning market, and the main people who actually visit the morning market are elderly people. Their pickiness and their demand for the prices of the morning market items make even everyone make small profits.
If you sell too much, there will still be small-scale price wars of varying degrees.
"Four and a half, ma'am."
"This is seven yuan and two, so I can get it for seven yuan."
"Five eight yuan. Can I add two green onions for you? I'll give you six yuan."
Zhou Xinglian helped pack the bags and was responsible for adding goods, while Wei Tao was responsible for weighing and collecting money. Young people's brain speed for simple numbers must be faster than that of older people, and Wei Tao was fully willing to "give up small profits" and pay a dime or two.
A zero, a difference of 10 cents or 20 cents, giving someone another one worth 30 or 40 cents.
Zhou Xinglian didn't say anything in this regard. When she saw Sister Liu care about even a dime or two cents, she was very disapproving. After seeing this, Sister Liu told her: "We only earn a dime or two cents, and every one of you
If you give customers a little bit of credit, you won’t make much money in the end.”
Wei Tao doesn't care about making less money. He knows the value of selling more. If there are few sales in the morning market, you have to practice stalling during the day. Not only will you be tired, but the vegetables will also have to be tossed back and forth in the wind, and you will have to carry a parasol.
Try to protect them from being wilted by the sun. The wear and tear in them will inevitably reduce the price at night. If you keep them until the next morning, you can only sell them cheaply to those who are not living a satisfactory life and only buy bargains at the morning market.
people.
Time cost, labor cost, and ultimately you may earn a little more money by selling at this time, so the two consumptions are evenly matched.
It's not worth it. Besides, in this morning market, Wei Tao wants repeat customers, which costs only 10 cents or 20 cents a day. After ten days, he hopes that those elderly people will choose to buy from him directly. Including his vegetable display, all items are sold at regular prices.
Whether it's good or bad, the price will be directly reduced. It's your choice without any hesitation, so you can feel confident buying from me.
The very normal concept of selling small commodities is not understood by most people in this era, and Zhou Xinglian does not understand it either. But when she saw her son's enthusiasm, she did not stop him. Zhou Xingrong and Zhou Xingju had both told her before.
, when you sell vegetables, you must ask Xiao Tao to help you. It's not okay for such a big boy to stay at home all day long. What are the conditions of your family? You can't afford to have him hang around for a few days and learn from the bad habits of the half-grown boys outside.
In fact, Zhou Xinglian also has certain obstacles. It is normal to work as a worker and earn less. I am the master of the country, and I don't feel inferior to others even if I have less food and clothing.
Zhou Xinglian would not be willing to do the street stall business if the family had not been able to support it by herself. Deep down, she still felt that it was a loss of face. She was very happy that her son could help, and she kept handfuls of small denomination bills.
, her son handed it over, and she stuffed it into the pocket on her waist. Although she didn’t know the exact number, the fifty-twenty yuan was a lot. Looking at about half of the vegetables left on the ground and in the car, she shouldn’t be able to pay for it.
There are so many dishes.
