[Tsk tsk, what a profiteer! ]
The system sighed and said that it had priced Wushuang rice at only 40 yuan per catty, but Liu Ben actually set the price at 100 yuan per catty, which was more than double the price.
"What kind of profiteer is this? Do you think your Wushuang rice isn't worth the price?" Liu Ben said exaggeratedly, "This kind of good stuff is nowhere else to be found. Of course I have to sell it for a higher price. After all, I grew it bit by bit myself. It's all my hard work!"
Moreover, all this rice was pounded by Liu Ben bit by bit using the most primitive rice pounding tools. Liu Ben would not sell it at a lower price.
After borrowing money from You Ying, Liu Ben originally wanted to buy a rice hulling machine immediately and use mechanical hulling. However, when he remembered that the system had said that the rice pounded by him tasted better, he hesitated. Finally, he decided to use the rice pounded by him in the store for the time being. If he sold it in large quantities in the future, it would not be too late to use mechanized equipment.
The system did not comment on Liu Ben's statement. It would be very hard for ordinary people, but not for Liu Ben, a strong bull.
Liu Ben also placed some empty boxes in the warehouse as a cover, and then prepared the other packaging bags, cash register, payment code and so on. He opened the store door, placed two flower baskets at the door, and began to wait for reception.
During the time he was sorting things out, other stores also opened one after another, but they were all very busy and no one was curious enough to come over to look at him. At a glance, they probably knew it was a produce store and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, there was no competition between them, right?
Once the shops opened, customers began to show up one after another.
Today is not a holiday, and the office workers who have time to come here will at most come to have breakfast and leave in a hurry without staying long. Only the old men and women who don’t have to work, or the young people who don’t have a stable job, and some students and children will come here to hang out.
When the elderly people saw the newly opened agricultural product store, they would come in to take a look out of curiosity. However, they were shocked when they saw the prices. They looked at Liu Ben at the counter with surprised, unfathomable or weird eyes, and immediately turned around and left. Some of them would even mutter loudly or quietly when they left, saying something like "I'm crazy about money."
Young people and children rarely go into produce stores.
Liu Ben didn't care and didn't try to attract customers. He was confident that his rice was good. As long as someone was curious and bought some to try, they would definitely become repeat customers.
However, in fact, he overlooked the fact that people's anti-fraud concept is still very solid. People who have experienced some ups and downs are afraid of paying an IQ tax. When it comes to unknown and expensive food, they would rather suppress their curiosity and not be the first to try it.
So Liu Ben, full of confidence, didn't wait for a single customer to buy for most of the morning.
Liu Ben: ...Okay.
Liu Ben scratched his head, stood up and twisted his body which was numb from sitting, then walked around the store.
It’s almost lunchtime. Should I order some takeout in advance? Liu Ben was just thinking about it when the welcoming doll at the door suddenly made a sweet sound.
"Welcome!"
Maybe he came in out of curiosity again. Liu Ben glanced at him casually, and hey, it was You Ying.
You Ying was wearing formal attire and must have just returned from the company.
"You Ying," Liu Ben greeted with a smile, "You're here!"
"Well, let's buy rice." You Ying nodded, and then began to look at the goods in the store. Well, of course, there was only Wushuang rice in the store, and it was right in front of the counter. You Ying saw it at first sight.
"I drove here today to buy more rice for my family. How much rice is in the store?"
Liu Ben glanced at the cart outside the store, estimated how many kilograms of rice it could hold, and said, "Don't worry, I have plenty of rice in my store, sometimes over a thousand kilograms."
You Ying thought about it and said proudly, "I'll just put as much as my car can hold!"
Liu Ben couldn't help but laugh: "Okay." Only You Ying would dare to say that. Even if others had that much money, they would not buy rice at his house at a high price.
Liu Ben walked into the warehouse and started moving out bags of rice. Each bag weighed 40 kilograms. Using the warehouse as a cover, he took out bags of rice from the space and started moving them onto You Ying's car.
You Ying wanted to take action but was stopped by him.
"It's quite heavy, and I'm the boss of the store, how can I let you move it!" Liu Ben waved his hand.
Liu Ben raised his hands and carried three sacks on each side. Unlike the porters who had hunched backs, his back was straight and he carried it with ease, as if it was just a load of light cotton for him.
But You Ying knew that it was all real rice.
He can walk so fast while carrying six bags of rice. Maybe he is strong enough to carry more, but his hands are just not holding them well, right?
Looking at Liu Ben's energetic and vigorous appearance, You Ying was a little distracted.
The first time he spoke to Liu Ben, Liu Ben had just been abused by his family and almost lost his life. At that time, the young man lying on the hospital bed was thin and pale, at the lowest point in his life.
In just over two months, Liu Ben's appearance had changed dramatically. He became stronger, with a healthy complexion, more strength, and more confident. No matter when and where he was, he always held his head high, with a smile on his face, and looked sunny and flamboyant.
I don’t know if it’s because he has been living too well in the Liu family during this period, but people who should have stopped growing seem to have grown taller. When You Ying, who is about 1.8 meters tall, stands next to Liu Ben, he feels that the other person is not much shorter than him.
If Liu Ben, who was moving goods at this time, heard You Ying's thoughts, he might not be able to help but complain in his heart: I can be taller, like 3.5 meters orc.
Furthermore, the growth period of orcs is different from that of humans. After a human's growth period, their height basically stops growing, and they may even shrink with aging. However, orcs' body size continues to grow with age! Take Aben's father, for example. Although he hasn't measured him, Liu Ben can confidently say: He's at least 5 meters tall.
Liu Ben, such a young and handsome guy, was carrying such an exaggerated pile of sacks to load into the car. Many young girls were attracted by his bulging muscles when he was moving things, and watched him from a distance. Some of them held up their mobile phones and looked at him secretly as if they were taking pictures.
Curious men approached and asked what Liu Ben was moving. When he learned it was rice, they were a little skeptical. As Liu Ben placed the rice bags, the transparent portion appeared, and the grains of rice inside moved slightly. The skeptics then left in embarrassment.
They were just men with a bit of competitive spirit. When they found out that Liu Ben was carrying real bags of rice weighing over 100 kilograms, they knew they could not compete with him, so they gave up.
Liu Ben finished moving everything in just two trips, from the back seat to the trunk, and packed a total of 10 bags.
If we weren't worried about overloading, the car could actually hold more.
10 bags is 400 kilograms, and 100 yuan per kilogram is a full 40,000 yuan, which is not a small amount.
But You Ying also has the confidence. Not to mention the family wealth behind him, You Ying has opened several companies himself and is a person with investment capabilities in digital media. This digital age is the opportunity for him to be full of energy and it is modest to say that he makes a fortune every day.
He recently launched a new game, which brought in another wave of considerable income. He could buy whatever he wanted and eat whatever delicious food he wanted without thinking.
but……
You Ying walked to the side of the car and saw the front of the rice bag. He paused and said, "Your bag..."
Liu Ben showed him an empty bag. "I had this specially customized. Is it okay? I was born in the Year of the Ox, Liu Ben, and this year is my zodiac year, so I had someone design it with this unique image. I also ordered many other styles and colors."
This is also in preparation for large-scale sales in the future. The rice sold in the store does not need to be specially designed for packaging, but if it is to be sold in large quantities in the future, it must have formal packaging and labeling. It is also convenient to start now. Anyway, Liu Ben has already registered the trademark, so the next work will be easy.
You Ying looked at the pattern on the rice bag in silence.
On the bag was a cute Q-version minotaur image, making a fist-clenching gesture of encouragement, with the words "Brave Minotaur, fear no difficulties!" written underneath.
You Ying: ...
He occasionally plays the game recommended by You Guoguo recently. It turns out that the plot is really rich.
The last time he played, the prince met a minotaur boy, and then they walked all the way to the forest. When they were about to reach the tribe, they were attacked by an evil black wizard. The prince and the minotaur boy fought for a while, but the black wizard, seeing that he was no match for him, summoned a large number of monsters to surround them. At this critical moment, justice was once again sent down from heaven.
A few flashes of cold light appeared, and all the monsters were chopped into pieces. The wizard was also seriously injured and escaped.
At this time, various special effects and filters flashed by, and You Ying understood again in seconds that another conquerable character had appeared.
There was a flash of light, and next to appear was a wild minotaur warrior.
You Ying: Why is it the Minotaur again?
Anyway, You Ying was speechless about that game. He would feel depressed after playing it for a while, but after not playing it for a few days, he would want to play it again. It was simply addictive.
The bag of rice in front of me is just like the one in the game, it’s poisonous!
You Ying turned his gaze away calmly: "...very good."
Well, you are the boss, just be happy.
"There are a total of 40,000 yuan here. As agreed, I'll give you a 50% discount, 20,000 yuan." Liu Ben put away the empty bag and said to You Ying.
Liu Ben still remembered that he had said that he would give You Ying a 50% discount if he came to his store in the future.
You Ying subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he thought that friends shouldn't be so polite to each other, and saying too much would make things feel awkward.
"You won't lose money if it's half price, right?" You Ying asked with a frown. He didn't think 40,000 yuan was expensive, but he was afraid that Liu Ben was too polite.
"No!" Liu Bengang said loudly, and quickly looked around. Although his keen sense could sense that there was no one else nearby, it was still better to be careful.
"Actually, I can still make a lot if I sell it at half price. I have good connections." Liu Ben said in a low voice.
You Ying looked at him and both of them smiled as if they understood.
He is also a businessman. The one-yuan initial deposit, six-yuan gift package, and thirty-yuan monthly card are all old tricks.
You Ying lowered his head to scan the code to pay, while Liu Ben went to the warehouse again and got two large fresh-keeping boxes, filling them with water shield and kelp. Since these vegetables need to be refrigerated, he also put a few ice cubes in them to prevent the temperature from being too high and affecting the freshness.
After You paid the bill, he just raised his head and two large boxes appeared in front of him.
"I almost forgot the water shield and kelp I prepared for you. I can still fit one in the trunk, and the other in the passenger seat, right?"
"These are not enough to take out for now, but they are enough for us to eat ourselves!" Liu Ben said with a smile.
"Okay." You Ying also smiled and asked Liu Ben to put him in the car without any hesitation.
"I'll bring you the empty box next time." You Ying waved his hand, got in the car and left.
The boxes Liu Ben used to store the kelp and other vegetables in were very good, sturdy, and reusable. He didn't send them back because he felt Liu Ben was shortchanged. It was just that Liu Ben was definitely someone who cared about the environment. Since they were friends, he should have considered his perspective. That would have made Liu Ben feel more comfortable.
Liu Ben stood at the door of the store and watched You Ying drive away before walking back into the store.
I looked up at the time. It was lunch rush hour. If I ordered a good takeout, it might take an hour to be delivered. If I went out to eat, the restaurant would be closed, which was troublesome.
Just make something yourself.
The author has something to say:
You Ying: I spent 20,000 yuan on rice today. One second, two seconds, three seconds... I made it back.
Thank you to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
Lazy Sheep irrigated 50 bottles of crispy rice (>ω<*)
Mint smoke irrigated 5 bottles of crispy shark ╭(￣▽￣)╯
I don't buy it often, so I bought a bottle of Maltesers (*●u●*)
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
ps: When I was young, I was also a leek that was tricked by the game company (Cangsang Lighting a Cigarette.jpg)
