But even so, there were still not many customers, and only about ten kilograms of apples were sold.

Qiao Shu pursed his lips and asked the aunt who was buying eggs: "Auntie, do you have a knife?"

Not knowing what she meant, the aunt handed her the knife she had brought with her.

Qiao Shu took out two apples, cut them into eight pieces neatly, and put them in a clean place.

She waved to Damao.

Damao walked over and she handed one of the petals to him.

Just as Damao was about to refuse, Qiao Shu spoke up: "This isn't for you to eat. I want you to help me attract customers."

Hearing her words, Damao took the apple from her hand and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Qiao Shu said, "Are you familiar with the black market?"

Damao nodded. He and Ermao basically grew up in the black market, so of course they were very familiar with this place.

Qiao Shu nodded and said, "That's all. Go to the entrance of the black market, sit there and eat this apple. If anyone asks you, tell them my location."

The entrance has the most traffic. If Da Mao sits there and eats, people who want to buy apples will definitely ask him where the location is. This is better than sitting here and waiting.

After Damao accepted her arrangement, he left.

After Damao left, she secretly filled the basket with apples. It was estimated that there were about 40 kilograms of apples in the basket now.

As soon as Damao left, a man in casual clothes walked in from behind.

When he saw Gu Qingge, his eyes lit up: "The little boy eating an apple at the door, did he buy the apple from you?"

Qiao Shu nodded, secretly delighted. This method was indeed good. Someone came to ask about it so quickly.

She nodded. "Yes, I'm the only apple shop around here. Would you like to buy some? You can try them. My apples are big and sweet."

She took a piece of the apple she had just divided and handed it to the man.

The man took a bite and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. It was indeed very sweet.

"Excuse me, how much is this apple per pound?"

Apples of such good quality shouldn’t be too cheap, so he brought two dollars with him. His old man, who was in the hospital, insisted on eating apples.

There is really no other way. The supply and marketing cooperatives have not yet produced apples at this time of year, so I can only try my luck on the black market.

I didn't expect that he would catch up with me.

Qiao Shu smiled and said, "Today is the first day of business, so we have a special price. It's cheap, 30 cents a pound, 1 yuan for 4 pounds. How much do you want, big brother?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react: "30 cents a pound?"

This price is too low.

This is on the black market, and there are no apples in this season. These apples are so rare.

Qiao Shu nodded: "Yes, we also got these few apples by chance. For our family, filling our stomachs is the most important thing. As long as we sell them at a low price."

For her, apples do not require any capital investment, so even if they are sold at one cent per pound, she will still make a profit.

The man was happy to hear this, thinking he had gotten a good deal. He quickly took out two dollars from his pocket and said, "Give me eight pounds, then."

Apples can be kept for a long time, and he also ate this apple. It was sweet and juicy, and at only 30 cents a pound, it was really a good deal.

Now that you come across it, buy more.

Qiao Shuli weighed eight pounds for him and put two dollars in his account.
