Chapter 36: Playing this game...
Shi Qingqing's helplessness didn't seem like she was acting.
Now, seeing that the sugar was almost gone, the onlookers rushed to buy eggs.
In just two hours, with people buying ten and I buying twenty, Shi Qingqing sold nearly four hundred eggs.
There was more than three hundred yuan in my pocket, and even after sorting it out, it was still a thick stack.
As it got closer to lunch, more people came, and the enthusiasm only faded away when all the candy was gone.
However, some people had notified their friends, but their friends were only free to come in the afternoon, which was difficult to explain, so they asked Shi Qingqing to prepare more.
Shi Qingqing pretended to be distressed and said that those were prepared for the next few days and would be sold only until New Year's Day.
If we take them all out today, there won’t be this activity again in the future.
But customers don’t care about all that. They all want to fulfill what is written on the cardboard on the spot, as if it were an imperial edict.
Shi Qingqing could only tell her husband to bring the rest of the sugar over in the afternoon, and then everyone stopped chattering around her.
"Fortunately, after all the calculations, I definitely won't lose money, otherwise I would have just run away this afternoon." Shi Qingqing thought to herself.
For lunch, she had egg fried rice from a small shop. She had eggs herself, so she gave three eggs to the boss to fry. But the boss brought the meal over and said he didn't want any money.
"Your eggs are good. I don't want the candy. If you give me a discount, I will buy a hundred."
It's easy to be soft-hearted when someone eats your food, and they don't want any candy.
Shi Qingqing finally sold them to him at 42 cents each. "I'm not going by weight here. They're all this size. I only want 100. Any lower is really not possible. If you take all the remaining 300, I'll sell them to you at 40 cents each."
The boss bought a hundred and asked for some candy to 'taste'.
Since not giving up the sugar won't get you much in return, why not just ask for some?
After all, I also delivered a bowl of rice.
Shi Qingqing knew it very well, so she filled a large bag with the money, which was enough to be worth ten times the other person's bowl of rice and some chopped green onions.
Several dozen dollars came into the account again, and the transaction was completed in the blink of an eye. I didn't even spend money on lunch, so I now have more than five hundred dollars in my hand.
If you convert the points, even the money for the candy is wiped out, and the net profit is five times.
It’s a pity that the promotion didn’t last until the next day, otherwise I would have made a fortune just by selling eggs.
After a while, when there were the least people around, Shi Qingqing made an excuse to go home and left the egg stall to the shop owner behind her to look after for more than ten minutes.
"I can only watch for a short while. I have business to attend to."
Shi Qingqing waved her hands: "I'll be back soon!"
She headed towards the deserted alley, ready to get another box of candy.
I just bought some candy at a dead corner and was about to go out with the box in my arms.
Finally, someone came to the entrance of the alley.
Shi Qingqing stood there awkwardly.
Because she found that the two people came to the alley to urinate. Some people just don't want to spend money to go to public toilets, so they urinate on telephone poles or roadside boxes.
Fortunately, they did not go any further.
"You think that woman won't keep selling eggs like this? How can Lao Hong continue to do business then?"
"Oh, she won't be able to hold on for two days. Someone in the management office wants to trip her up. Now they're openly selling raw eggs. They're really asking for trouble."
"What do you mean? Tell me about it."
"I heard that the management office is looking for her. Why would the management office look for a small vendor? Besides, Lao Hong has been selling raw eggs in the local area for seven or eight years. Even if someone sells chicken and duck eggs in this vegetable market, they only dare to sell local eggs.
That woman is fine, she has several large boxes sitting there, just wait and see, at most in two days, Lao Hong will have to find a way to deal with her. "
The two chatted for a few more words, finished peeing, and turned around and left.
Shi Qingqing was left standing stiffly at the corner.
She was just thinking about earning 400 yuan in half a day and 200 yuan in the afternoon. If she did this every day, she would be able to buy a house soon.
But the conversation between these two people poured cold water on her.
Yes, in the vegetable market, people have a fixed source of goods, and if goods of unknown origin suddenly come in, let alone whether the management office will catch her or not,
For example, the old merchant who sells raw eggs would also try to cut off her business.
Competition is most obvious in the business world.
Shi Qingqing clenched her fists.
Fortunately, she heard this before the situation got out of control.
I also learned this lesson before I suffered a loss.
She will not do the same business in the short term. Even if she wants to do such business in the future, it is best to do it once or twice before the festival to earn some cash for backup to avoid disaster.
Shi Qingqing quickly adjusted her mood and returned to her stall carrying the box.
At this moment, many people came to the stall, but the boss was not there.
The stall was particularly noisy.
Shi Qingqing quickly put down the box of candies and explained to everyone: "I'm sorry, my husband sent some candies and I went to get them. Now there must be enough candies for giving away. Everyone, take your time and don't push. If the eggs are broken, they can't be glued back together."
After hearing this, someone laughed and took the initiative to ask others to line up.
In nearly three hours in one afternoon, all the egg whites brought by Shi Qingqing were sold out.
"The eggs are sold out. We have no more eggs. I'm selling candies for 10 cents each for five. Anyone want any?"
The last two customers sighed with regret, one chose to buy something, and the other turned around and left.
She put the cardboard away and began packing the boxes onto the cart, securing them with ropes.
"Qingqing, your business is doing pretty well."
Shi Qingqing turned around suddenly and found that the person coming was the eldest sister from the management office, and she was relieved.
It was because when the other person called her Qingqing, the tone of her voice sounded too much like her mother's.
Although Shi Caihong and her mother have been quiet these days, Shi Qingqing has never let down her guard.
"Sister, has that person written the apology letter?"
"Yes, he has written it. He even went to your house to apologize in person. However, you were not at your parents' house, and your own rental apartment was locked. I brought you the apology letter, but since you were busy, I didn't bother you."
"Thank you." Shi Qingqing unfolded the letter of apology.
The words in this apology letter are really... unwilling.
However, it can be seen that it is an apology letter, and the party at fault also admitted that the conflict was caused by his own mistake.
Shi Qingqing felt that having this would allow her to share it with others when she encountered similar things in the future.
That's enough.
"Thank you, big sister." Shi Qingqing thanked the other person, who smiled at her and said, "My last name is Lin. You can talk to me if you have anything to say in the future. It really didn't go well last time. Let's talk calmly and slowly."
"Okay, Sister Lin." Having gotten what she wanted and the attitude she wanted, Shi Qingqing decided to stop while she was ahead and kept calling her Sister Lin, which made her even more approachable than Sister Lin's appearance.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I won't waste your time. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Shi Qingqing watched the other person leave, and snorted coldly, thinking of what Sister Lin said about the gay man who charged exorbitant fees going to her house.
"To play this trick..."
She felt that since the other party had come to her door, her mother could not remain indifferent.
Starting tomorrow, let’s go out in the early morning to dig oysters!
