Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
When it comes to asking the price, the deal has a chance of success.
"A whole chicken costs six yuan, half a chicken costs four yuan and a half, and the individual purchases are priced like this: chicken wings are fifty cents each, chicken necks are one yuan, and chicken thighs are one yuan and a half each. Have you seen how I cut the chicken into pieces? They're one yuan each."
After Wan Feng finished talking about the price, these people began to calculate the bill.
After much calculation, it seems that buying a whole one is the most appropriate.
"Lao Xiao, how about we buy one and each take half? We can save a lot of money." Two people dressed as farmers discussed.
In Longjiang, the real beneficiaries of the household contract responsibility system are the farmers in the agricultural cooperatives. Their income has increased significantly compared to the era of the "big pot" system. On the contrary, the employees of the agricultural reclamation farms are not much different from when they were earning wages.
These two people are obviously members of the agricultural cooperative.
"Then buy it. It's only three dollars per person. Buy it back and let the little brats taste the taste of Beijing roast chicken. We can't go to Beijing in this lifetime, so at least try Beijing roast chicken."
So, Wan Feng’s first deal was done in this way.
Wan Feng wrapped the roast chicken in a plastic bag and also included a small packet of homemade sesame paste.
The buying and selling of things is sometimes very strange. When no one is buying, there may be a crowd of people gathered around but no one will pay. But if there is someone who wants to buy, there may be a scramble to buy it.
"There are only four roast chickens every day. You can't buy more if you want to. If you want to buy, hurry up." Wan Feng took advantage of the first business to add fuel to the fire.
As a result, almost all of these people decided to buy together in pairs, and several whole chickens were sold in a short time.
In the end, the chicken that Wan Feng had cut into pieces was also bought as a whole chicken.
