Chapter 14 Difficulty in buying and selling
The vendors who had come to see the fresh shrimp had all dispersed, and Gu Chunzhu's stall had returned to the deserted place again. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. The prawns were not sold at all and cost fifteen cents.
Little sister-in-law, don't feel bad, it's worth the money you paid. You won't be deceived doing business on this street, and there are no thieves here. It's all guarded by Boss Long. The uncle who sold vegetables talked about Boss Long, There was a little light in the cloudy eyes.
Gu Chunzhu listened and understood that the man who received the money was probably similar to the city management officer in the previous life, perhaps a gangster who received protection fees. The money was quite reasonable, and he thought it would be good to get along with the street vendors.
The most important thing is to hope that the river prawns can be sold!
Fresh shrimp, don't miss it when you pass by! Gu Chunzhu shouted, imitating the endlessly repeated shouting words of those night market stall owners who used a loudspeaker in his previous life.
It's just the loudspeaker used by others, the mouth she used, and she shouted a few times loudly, and her abdominal cavity was a little sore because of the force, but the shouting was effective.
Three or five people shopping for vegetables gathered around.
Little sister-in-law, how did you sell this shrimp? An aunt with a vegetable basket put her head into the wooden bucket.
Five cents per bowl. Gu Chunzhu replied.
The aunt retracted her head in disgust, raised her brows calmly, touched her lips up and down, and said in disgust, This bucket is dark, and I don't know if it's mixed with dead shrimp.
Gu Chunzhu's face was a little unsightly. This aunt didn't look like she was here to buy shrimp, but she looked like she was here to smash the market.
She was about to retort a few words, when she heard the vegetable seller's tobacco pipe bang bang on the ground twice. Gu Chunzhu looked over, and the vegetable seller gave her a wink.
Seeing that Gu Chunzhu didn't speak for a while, the nit-picking aunt slapped her mouth and said, If you want three cents, I'll have a bowl.
Gu Chunzhu laughed inwardly, it turned out that she was not a mess, saying that her things were not good, just for bargaining.
Everyone can see clearly. I caught these shrimps from the river one by one. They are absolutely alive, and none of them are dead. Gu Chunzhu said, reaching out and scooping out the river shrimp from the wooden barrel.
The river prawn jumped open in Gu Chunzhu's hand, splashing a few drops of water on the nit-picking aunt.
Oh, I know, I know. The aunt said busy covering her face, but she was still picky and said, It's still expensive, and these shrimps don't have a few bites of meat.
Gu Chunzhu looked at the onlookers who were all interested in shrimp, but he couldn't let this aunt stir up everyone's emotions.
She hurriedly explained: Although shrimp is something that exists in the river, it's not easy to catch. I fished them one by one, and I bought half a bowl of these shrimp and put one or two of them in the noodles. Shrimp, your tongue will fall off when it is fresh. Fry it in lard, it will taste even better.”
Yo, fried shrimps in lard, isn't this a waste of lard! The auntie crossed her hips, still waiting for Gu Chunzhu to drop the price.
Auntie, it's winter, and after a while, there may not be too many fish in the river. Gu Chunzhu reminded, also in order not to reduce the price.
Little sister-in-law, can I buy a small half bowl? It's two cents. An aunt behind the aunt squeezed in and said.
Okay. Gu Chunzhu fished half a bowl of shrimp for her from the wooden bucket, drained the water, and poured it into the bamboo basket for her aunt. The river shrimp was still alive, and the busy one The aunt hurriedly went home with her basket of vegetables in her hands.
Gu Chunzhu accepted the two cents, and was also happy in his heart.
With this aunt's successful business, some guests saw that Gu Chunzhu's business was sincere, so they said, Bring me a bowl.
I want a bowl too.
Three or four bowls were sold all at once. Every time Gu Chunzhu listened to the collision of copper plates, his fatigue disappeared.
Seeing that the aunt who asked about the price at the beginning had not left, she asked, Aunt, I think you really want to buy it, but the price of this shrimp is here, I will give you a few more shrimps later.
Okay, little sister-in-law, you're really good at doing business. The aunt took out five cents of money from her purse and stuffed it into Gu Chunzhu's hand.
Gu Chunzhu scooped a bowl full of river prawns for her and dumped it in her basket, and the aunt left with a smile on her face.
Selling shrimps, fresh and bouncing shrimps! You can't buy them and you can't be fooled.
Another wave of shouts attracted guests one after another. There were only about six or seven bowls of river prawns left, and half a bowl was not enough.
The sun was approaching noon, and the rest could not be sold and brought home to eat. Gu Chunzhu put the wooden barrels in the back basket and prepared to close the stall.
Little sister-in-law, wait a moment. The uncle who sold the vegetables stopped Gu Chunzhu.
Master, what's the matter? Gu Chunzhu put down the back basket again. Today, this uncle has helped her. If she didn't hold back and reasoned with that aunt just now, she might have lost the customer relationship. .
The uncle put down the dry tobacco, rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and asked, Can I exchange this Chinese cabbage with you for some shrimp? I will also try it for my family.
Gu Chunzhu looked at the watery Chinese cabbage on the stall of the uncle who sold the vegetables, and nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, Of course I can, I can't ask for it. I only grow vegetable seedlings at home, and it's not that easy to eat vegetables.
Scooped out all the shrimps in the wooden bucket, only a shallow half bowl, and watched the uncle who sold the vegetables hand over a bigger head than a human.
The big Chinese cabbage, Gu Chunzhu said a little embarrassedly: That's it, I'll give you some money.
It's alright, what I grow is worthless. The uncle waved his hand politely.
The cabbage that the uncle handed over weighed about five pounds. Gu Chunzhu's stall was close to his. Knowing that the cabbage was sold for a penny a pound, he paid three penny.
Unable to let the uncle shirk, Gu Chunzhu put the Chinese cabbage in the back basket, carried it on his back, and left.
Little sister-in-law, your bowl. The uncle couldn't laugh or cry, Gu Chunzhu was so anxious that he forgot to take the bowl of shrimp.
I'll come back tomorrow after I caught the shrimp, you can keep it for now. Gu Chunzhu turned his head and gave the uncle a smile.
As he walked, Gu Chunzhu took out the coins he had earned today and counted them. There were 33 coins in total, plus the three coins for the uncle, he should have earned 36 coins.
This is a business without capital, and Gu Chunzhu is overjoyed. From now on, he will be able to catch river prawns to sell every day.
With this extra income, Gu Chunzhu is not so concerned about the money in her hand. Originally, she had 6 coins left when she was a hairpin, but Su Wangqin gave her 2 coins, and she paid 15 coins, totaling 8 coins and 10 coins. Eight texts.
