"You seem to know how to control your aunt!" Qin Han whispered in Zhu Likan's ear.
Zhu Likang looked at the aunt who had blended into the crowd again, with a smug look on his face: "Now she can't take advantage of me for even a penny."
After waiting for about ten minutes, a bus slowly drove over.
In order to grab a seat, many people ran towards the bus, and the moment the bus stopped, they swarmed in.
It felt like the scene was full of disregard for one's relatives.
Some people even started cursing at each other because they were pushed away, completely forgetting the friendship they had just had when they were chatting together.
Zhu Likang and Qin Han were the last to get on the bus. By the time they got on, there were no seats left, but Zhu Likang had been prepared.
After handing the money to the flight attendant, he found an empty seat, took out the small stool from his bag, and handed it directly to Qin Han: "Captain Qin, you sit down!"
This road is not easy to walk on and it is very bumpy. It would be a bit difficult to stand all the time.
Qin Han didn't hesitate and sat on the small stool immediately.
On the bus, everyone was chatting in groups of three or four, and then many passengers got on one after another.
Just when Qin Han felt that he was about to be squeezed into a persimmon, the bus finally arrived in the town.
As soon as we arrived in the town, many people got off the bus, but most of them were going to the county town. Gao Xiaomei was also going to get off in the town.
But when she saw her annoying nephew got off the car, she was afraid of being harassed, so she didn't get off.
It just so happened that she hadn't been to the county town for a while. A few days ago, her son said he wanted to eat mutton. It wasn't sold in the town, but it must be available in the county town.
After Zhu Likang and Qin Han got off the car, they arrived at the downtown area. Today was not a market day, so there were not as many people as usual, but there were still quite a few people.
There are already quite a few people setting up stalls on the roadside, some selling breakfast, some selling clothes and shoes, and many selling New Year's goods.
The shouts came one after another. This was Zhu Likang's first time setting up a stall to sell things, so he felt a little embarrassed.
But in order to let grandma and mom have a good New Year, he took a deep breath and then showed a fearless expression: "Let's go, squad leader Qin."
There is nothing to be ashamed of when you earn money with your own hands.
He looked around and finally chose a location next to a shop selling candy, peanuts and melon seeds, because he found that the people selling candy were the most numerous.
Just put it next to the store and you can attract customers without even shouting.
"Captain Qin, let's stay here. If you feel bored or don't feel like selling, you can go shopping. I can be alone here."
Qin Han could feel that Zhu Likang was very nervous. He was obviously very nervous, but he was still worrying about himself. What a silly boy.
They agreed to split the profits, so how could he just ignore it?
He didn't say anything, but opened the sack and rolled the opening down until the mushrooms inside were exposed.
He proved with his actions that he would not leave and would stay to help. Seeing this, Zhu Likang followed suit and opened the sack he carried, revealing the mushrooms inside.
They picked four kinds of mushrooms in total, namely Matsutake, Agaricus paniculatus, Alpinia solani and Boletus edulis.
Except for the more common wild mushrooms, the other three are relatively rare and have higher nutritional value, so they are naturally not cheap.
It is even rarer when it appears in the dead of winter.
They had just opened the bag and hadn't even started selling when an old man came over and asked, "Little boy, is this Matsutake?"
Zhu Likang nodded repeatedly: "Grandma, it's Matsutake mushrooms, and they're very fresh. Do you want to buy some to try?"
The old woman picked up a Matsutake mushroom and sniffed it. As soon as she smelled it, she knew it was the best Matsutake mushroom. Her grandson had not been used to eating it since he came to the town to attend classes. He always said that nothing suited his taste.
She also tried different ways to make delicious food for him every day, but there was still nothing that her grandson would want to eat again, which made her very worried.
The Matsutake mushrooms in front of her are quite good. They are particularly delicious even when stir-fried. If some bacon is added to them, she can't help but drool just thinking about the taste.
"How do you sell Matsutake mushrooms?" she asked directly.
Seeing that there was a chance, Zhu Likang suppressed his excitement and replied, "Seven dollars and fifty cents a pound!"
"This is much more expensive than meat. Kids, isn't it too expensive?
I see you guys have just opened, so if you sell it to me for six yuan a pound, I will just weigh three pounds and leave, how about that to give you a good start?"
Zhu Likang was moved by these words. Just when he was about to agree, Qin Han's voice rang out: "Grandma, it is very difficult to find Matsutake mushrooms at this time of year, and we spent a lot of effort to find them.
Seven dollars and a half is already very cheap. If you think it’s expensive, then go buy it somewhere else.”
He spoke in a tone that left no room for negotiation. Once a precedent was set in business, countless others would be broken.
This one is one dollar and fifty cents less per pound, that one is one dollar less per pound, and when they are all sold out, the income will be at least one hundred dollars less.
Naturally, he looked down upon this money, but Zhu Likang's family was short of money at the time, and one hundred yuan was enough for their family to live on for two months.
The old woman had been walking around for quite a while, so she naturally knew that no one else sold wild mushrooms except here.
I thought that after saying a few words, this little rascal would be too embarrassed to bargain and would just sell it to me at a low price, but I didn't expect that there was someone so smart waiting there.
To be honest, such a good variety of wild mushrooms is not expensive at seven dollars and a half. If it were sold in the city, it would cost at least ten dollars, or even more.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Okay, then weigh three pounds for me, no less."
Zhu Likang immediately took a bag and filled it with a lot of Matsutake mushrooms.
Because each one looks so good, there is no need to be picky.
Qin Han looked at the dots on the scale and saw that it was less than three pounds, so he took the initiative to add some food into the scale. Until it was a little more than three pounds, he did not take it out of the bag.
Since the other party didn't bargain, he wouldn't be stingy and not be willing to give more.
If you are too calculative in doing business, it will be difficult to succeed.
"Grandma, look, it's a little more than three pounds!" Zhu Likang turned the scale towards the old woman.
The old woman's eyesight was not very good, so she could only count one pound at a time. When she got to the third pound, there was indeed a little extra, so she immediately said, "Can we settle the price based on three pounds?"
"Okay, three pounds is a total of twenty-two dollars and fifty cents." Zhu Likan nodded.
Then the old woman took out the money wrapped in cloth from her trouser pocket, counted it and handed it to Zhu Likang: "You count it, if there is no problem, I will take the matsutake mushrooms away."
