Chapter 52 - Selling vegetables 2
Chen Tiezheng came to the free market with a burden and found a place to put things down.
There are really not many people out to set up stalls to sell things at this time, so the free market that Chen Tiezheng’s family arrived at at this time still has a place to occupy.
“Come on, put everything away, you can shout and sell vegetables.” Chen Tiezheng said to his sons with a smile.
“And Chaoyang, go and see if there are any buns and steamed buns at the moment, go buy a few and let’s pad your stomach first.”
Chen Chaoyang stood up to his father’s words and felt hungry, so they came out without breakfast.
After walking for more than an hour and carrying so many things, it is easy to get hungry because of the high physical consumption.
“Okay dad, I’ll go take a look now.” Chen Chaoyang nodded.
“Come here, take this money.” Chen Tiezheng took out a dime from his pocket and asked Chen Chaoyang to buy steamed buns.
Chen Chaoyang was very obedient and calmly went to buy steamed buns, and the three of them, Chen Tiezheng, started selling vegetables.
“Selling vegetables, selling vegetables – fresh eel and loach – fresh beans and leeks -“
“A penny is a catty of vegetables, a penny is a catty of eel—”
Chen Tiezheng, a soldier who has been a soldier for nearly ten years, is not shy and starts to sell at a high voice.
“Fresh eel and loach—” Chen Lieyang has also been a soldier for more than ten years. He often spends time with rough men in the frontier, and he is no longer as elegant and noble as the young master of the General’s Mansion.
At this moment, his father can shout and shout, and he doesn’t think it’s shameful to follow the shouting and shouting, so he also shouts.
“A penny a pound of vegetables, a penny a penny a pound of loach and eel–” the immature and unchanging Qingyue male voice also shouted.
“Eel and loach?”
“A dime a pound?”
You must know that pork is only five or six cents a catty at this time, and the loach and eel sell for one cent a catty, and it is not clear whether it is expensive or cheap.
“Do you sell loach and yellow eel? A dime a pound?” A middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman who seemed to be about the same age as the Zhou family, came to have a look when he heard the Chen family’s father and son shouting.
Seeing that someone was taking care of him, Chen Tiezheng’s eyes lit up and he said with a big smile, “Yes, auntie, look at these loach and yellow eels are not very fat? We caught them from the fields, they were fresh, they were all alive and not dead. “
Chen Tiezheng told the middle-aged woman to look at the bucket containing the loach and yellow eel, and said with a smile, “Look, are they all alive?”
“Auntie, buy some and give it to my grandson? Stewed tofu with loach, the child can eat more. The eel can make up for your son’s body. How about buying some?”
Chen Tiezheng seemed to be very skilled when he was selling, and it seemed that Chen Xunyang was a little suspicious whether his father did this before.
Although Chen Xunyang was the eldest son of a royal merchant family, he didn’t shout and sell to customers like he is now.
Chen Xunyang watched his father make people laugh and sell his own dishes, and secretly vowed in his heart to learn how to make money, so that his father would not make people laugh every day.
Chen Tiezheng’s sales pitch made the woman very moved. Looking at the lively loach and loach, she nodded and said, “Give me three loach and five loach.”
“Okay.” After listening to the middle-aged woman’s words, Chen Tiezheng smiled and prepared to catch the loach and yellow eel.
Although the Chen family has no experience in doing business, their family has a steel scale, and Chen Tiezheng brought it out today.
Chen Tiezheng quickly caught three yellow eels and five loaches and weighed them, weighing eight catties and four taels.
“Eight catties and four taels, a total of eighty and four cents.” Chen Tiezheng smiled and said, “You are our first guest, how about adding a bunch of leeks to you?”
“Okay.” The middle-aged woman was very happy and paid the money happily.
“Grandma, you bought loach and eel, which are only two dishes. If you don’t go, buy some green vegetables and go back? Beans, Chinese cabbage, and lettuce, take a look?” Chen Xunyang saw that the customer was so cheerful, and quickly Promote your own vegetable dish.
“If you don’t like beans and lettuce, there are also these pumpkin leaves, pumpkin flowers, and sweet potato leaves. Would you like to buy some?”
“Give me six catties, which is just ninety cents.” The customer thought about it and nodded happily.
This customer’s family is also a little richer, so he can still afford the food for less than a dollar.
The customer’s son also owns a shop in the town and is not considered poor. Still can afford to eat, a dime a meal is consumed.
“Hey, grandma, wait.” Seeing that the guests were so cheerful, Chen Xunyang was also happy to weigh the vegetables for the guests.
Chen Tiezheng weighed the scales, Chen Lieyang received the money, and Chen Xunyang sold it sweetly. When Chen Chaoyang returned from buying buns, the Chen family had already received five guests.
“Guest, please walk slowly…”
When Chen Chaoyang came back with five steamed buns and ten steamed buns, he saw his third brother sweetly deal with the guests who had left Qian and said so.
Chen Chaoyang: “…” The business is not bad?
Chen Chaoyang walked over to his father and brother, handed over the buns and steamed buns and said, “Eat something to pamper your stomach, or you’ll be starving.”
“Wow—” Chen Xunyang smelled the smell of steamed buns, and quickly took a steamed bun and a steamed bun from his second brother, and gave the rest to his father and brothers.
“Are you back?” Chen Tiezheng said to his second son with a smile, and took the buns and ate them.
The business is still good. Although there are many stall owners selling vegetables, they also sell a lot of green vegetables.
And the eel and loach are even more popular. If there is no pork to eat, it is also possible to eat a little eel and loach to improve the meal.
“Brother, eat something too, I’ll help.” Chen Chaoyang took over Chen Lieyang’s job and asked him to eat quickly.
“Yeah.” Chen Lieyang nodded, followed by eating the steamed bun in one hand.
“Hey, just eating the steamed buns doesn’t feel good and tasteless, go back and ask your mother to pickle some sour beans or sour radishes, you can also keep them and eat them.” Chen Tiezheng said while chewing on the steamed buns.
That’s right, this man not only ate a meat bun but also a steamed bun in such a short period of time.
Chen Tiezheng’s words made Chen Lieyang and his three brothers nod again and again, because the steamed buns at this time didn’t have sugar, so they didn’t have any taste in their mouths.
No, there is also the taste of wheat noodles.
“My mother’s sour beans and sour radishes are delicious.” Chen Xunyang agreed with his father’s words.
Although the steamed buns in his mouth had no taste, he had not eaten steamed buns for a long time, so he could only endure it.
“Of course, your mother’s cooking is delicious.” Chen Tiezheng and Yourongyan said proudly.
The three Chen Lieyang brothers turned their eyes away from him. Showing affection or something is too exciting for a single dog, especially a single dog with a new bottle of old wine.
