Chapter 25 Selling Goods (Part 2)
After a few seconds of silence, Uncle Shi said, "So that's how it is. Then you can take back the money and eat some meat. I don't need any of your things. Take them all back."
"Uncle, I'm leaving first." Shi Qingqing still had business to do, so she didn't push the issue back and forth with her uncle.
Human relationships are so sticky and messy, so she won't stay here to argue.
It is true that my uncle lent me money to help me get through the "hard times", and it is also true that I want to give back to my uncle. That's enough.
After Shi Qingqing left, Aunt Shi happily went to the kitchen to look through those things.
"This rice has no husk at all, and every grain is clean. It is new rice and good rice. Oh, this fruit candy smells so good, and there are so many colors. My grandson will definitely like it. I can also give some to Xiaoya..."
This crab is so big, and the eggs are big too. Tsk tsk, your Shi Qingqing is going to be successful, or she should save face."
Uncle Shi is still talking about returning these things, as it is not easy for others to start a new family.
Aunt Shi simply divided the things into three parts.
One portion was given to the son's family, one portion to the daughter's family, and the smallest portion was left for her and the old man.
She didn't care about the old man's nagging. She already had the things, and now she wanted to take them back?
It wasn't stolen.
Shi Qingqing didn't know that after she left, her aunt quickly took the things and sent them to her son and daughter.
At this moment, she found a place to put the goods on the cart, bought a scale from the shop, bought some plastic bags, and started doing business.
The rice bag was opened and the candies were spread out on a clean cloth. Although it was simple, it was almost the same at all the small stalls nearby.
However, her equipment was extremely simple.
The price is written on the cardboard, and it is noted below that no high fees are charged.
It was not until 10:30 in the morning that she received her first business order.
A fat boy with fair skin asked, "Auntie, are these candies really five for ten cents?"
Shi Qingqing smiled and said, "Yes, whatever flavor you like, Auntie will get it for you."
"I like the orange flavor, and I also want one of this green one." The little fat man took out fifty cents and bought five.
Shi Qingqing was glad that she had found some banknotes after rummaging through the boxes and drawers, otherwise she would not have been able to pay the first order.
The chubby child ran away with five candies. Shi Qingqing then received two housewives with strong purchasing power who came together.
The rice looked good and they ate a few grains of raw rice. After making sure that there was no problem, each of them bought ten kilograms. Shi Qingqing did not bargain, but gave each of them a handful of sugar, so the two women did not complain.
The fourth guest was a short middle-aged man who seemed to be unable to walk when he saw the bulk wine.
Shi Qingqing looked at the watch on the man's wrist and the pair of leather shoes that looked old but genuine, and immediately tried to persuade him. "Boss, would you like to buy some wine? Can I have a taste first?"
He scooped some wine from the wine spoon and put it in a cup for the other person.
The man hesitated for a moment, then his eyes lit up after he smelled it. He immediately drank it, and then his eyes lit up.
"Hey, this wine, is it from the factory?"
Shi Qingqing thought to herself that this person was treating her like an employee who was stealing wine and selling it.
"No, these are all from legitimate sources!" Shi Qingqing was about to prove herself, but the man had already taken out the money with an 'I understand' expression on his face.
"I want this bucket, and I'll take the bucket with me."
Shi Qingqing pointed to the sign and said, "The buckets can be delivered together, but these are ten kilograms and cost sixty yuan."
The man hadn't looked at the price before, and subconsciously thought that a bucket would not be more than fifty yuan. He hesitated for a moment and remembered the sweet taste just now. If this was bottled, what would be the difference between it and the five or six yuan a bottle in the store?
Although he was sure that this was the good wine produced by the winery.
But he still wanted to bargain, after all, it was not properly packaged.
"Fifty bucks, I'll just take it."
To be honest, twenty points converted into fifty yuan is more than half the profit.
But Shi Qingqing still gritted her teeth and said, "I can't make any profit at this price. How about this, fifty-five, the most I can save is five dollars."
A five-dollar saving could cover a day's food expenses, and the money could be used to buy a bag of peanuts. Seeing the embarrassment on Shi Qingqing's face, the man stopped pestering her, and simply took out fifty-five from his pocket, then left with a bucket of wine.
When Shi Qingqing pinched the number fifty-five, she felt her hands shaking.
Earn, earn your first decent money.
This thirty-five is pure profit!
At noon, Shi Qingqing packed up a bowl of noodles and ate it lavishly. It cost three yuan to add vegetable leaves, but the portion was very large.
After she finished eating, she felt energetic again and learned to actively attract passers-by.
"New stuff from the sugar factory, five for only ten cents, you can choose the flavor, would you like to take a look, boss?"
"Beauty, these delicious fruit candies are five for 10 cents. Choose your favorite flavor."
"Big sister, this new rice is only 60 cents per pound. It's the same grade as the rice that costs one dollar in the supermarket. Come and have a look?"
"Uncle, come and try this wine. If it doesn't taste good, I'll give you a free glass." Of course, this sentence is sold to people who obviously have purchasing power.
After selling a few more orders, the vegetable market briefly entered a blank period of about three hours, during which few customers came in.
However, the noodle vendor saw that the rice and wine were good, so he ordered 50 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of wine. Shi Qingqing also gave him a 5 yuan discount and also gave him half a plastic bag of sugar.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when the market became busy again and her business picked up again.
But today only two or three large households bought the most. They bought two or three kilograms of rice, and most of the sugar was bought for twenty or thirty cents. It was almost seven o'clock and they still hadn't finished.
One hundred and fifty-six dollars and seventy cents.
This is her income today.
After packing up the scattered things, Shi Qingqing pushed the cart to go see Zhao Fengnian.
He was still sitting there with a flashlight on. When Shi Qingqing walked over, she found that most of the crabs had been sold out.
The rest were either wilted or dead.
There was still about half of the big one left.
Zhao Fengnian received more than a hundred dollars.
"These crabs probably won't survive until tomorrow. You can give half of them away." Shi Qingqing threw away the dead crabs and divided the rest into two portions, one for her and one for Zhao Fengnian.
The crabs here are obviously fresher.
"Wife, we only make a small amount of money from selling them. Can we really arrange the rest ourselves? Will we have to pay them back? Didn't they say that they only give us 10 yuan for every 100 kilograms?"
Shi Qingqing knew that her excuses were perfunctory and would not stand up to scrutiny.
I can only say: "The boss has paid me for the goods and didn't bother with us. What you sold is actually our hard work.
But we can't exchange it for money now. I think we can keep the money in our hands and use it as capital to make our own profits.
Look, I bought some rice and candy, and I just earned a dozen yuan. When we save enough money, we will buy a tricycle and some fishing and crab catching equipment... We will do it step by step."
Zhao Fengnian was completely attracted by the plan his wife talked about, so he didn't bother to delve into the disputes among the payment for goods, loans, and hard work fees.
"Wife, are you planning to do this seafood business in the future? Sell seafood at the market?"
Shi Qingqing was about to nod when she felt dizzy and fell forward.
