Chapter 1308
But this is pork, so it’s understandable that it’s a bit expensive. After all, people can’t stop eating meat, especially now that conditions are better.
But because the vegetables are so expensive, Teacher Jin feels that the audience is very small.
A pound of cucumber is only one and a half pieces at best, which means half a watermelon costs one yuan. How many people are willing to spend so much money to buy it?
But Xu Wanning comforted Teacher Jin: "Don't worry, our vegetables will only be snapped up when they are released, and no one will buy them."
While talking, Xu Wanning also wrote a sentence on the pricing cardboard.
Purchase limit is two kilograms per person.
After Teacher Jin saw this line of words, his eyes felt dark.
She is still worried that so many fresh fruits and vegetables will not be sold. What if Xu Wan Ning is better off and imposes a purchase limit?
What if it rots in the ground?
"Don't be afraid of that. At worst, I'll buy them all in the name of Xujiapu Restaurant."
Teacher Jin knew that he couldn't persuade Xu Wanning, so he could only let her write on the cardboard, covering her chest with her hands and breathing heavily. gas.
Xu Wanning finished the cardboard and opened the door.
There were several small tables set up at the door, with four kinds of dishes placed in several baskets.
Xu Wanning stood aside and said loudly: "This is a fresh vegetable cultivated by our Huaqing University research team using greenhouse cultivation technology. It is the first time in Beijing that you can eat vegetables in the cold winter, so the price is It will be relatively expensive. "
"In addition, the quantity is limited, and each person can only buy two kilograms of each kind. We will not sell any more, so that people who queue up behind will not be able to buy it. Please queue up in an orderly manner. It is now available for sale. !”
Teacher Jin’s heart was pounding, fearing that everyone would think it was expensive and turn away.
But what surprised her was that although the long queue outside was a bit noisy, no one left, they just urged the people in front to buy quickly.
Three or four yuan a pound of vegetables, are they really not expensive?
The person ranked first opened his mouth and asked for eight catties, two catties of each kind.
"Boss Xu, vegetables are not like the pastries from the supply and marketing cooperative. The weighing can be accurate enough to give you as much as you want. I have taken two cucumbers now. What if it exceeds two kilograms? You can't let me divide the cucumbers into two. Two?"
Xu Wanning really ignored this question.
She only considered the purchase limit, not the scale issue.
So, Xu Wanning silently changed the words on the cardboard.
Limit two of each type per person.
Two cucumbers, two tomatoes, and two eggplants.
As for the lettuce, it comes in a whole nest without separation, and each person can buy up to two nests.
Every dish is beautiful, even more beautiful than what you buy in season, so there is no need to choose at all.
The first person in line took two cucumbers, two tomatoes and two eggplants, and picked the two largest lettuces in the nest.
On the scale, cucumbers are two pounds and two ounces, tomatoes are one pound and two ounces, eggplants are two pounds and four ounces, and lettuce is four ounces.
"After all this calculation, I'm still at a bit of a loss. I can buy one more tomato and at least six more lettuce nests! Boss Xu, how about I..."
Xu Wanning pointed to the big words on the cardboard, "Let's make a decision at the beginning If it’s already there, you can’t change it easily, otherwise the customers in line behind you won’t be able to buy it.”
Hearing this, the customer at the top of the line had no choice but to give the money and leave happily.
A total of fifteen and six dollars, which was all he bought, but he seemed to have gotten a big deal, and the smile on his face almost overflowed.
It would be fine if he was the only one who was like this, but unfortunately, the same was true for the people in line behind him.
Everyone who bought the food left with a smile on their face.
Teacher Jin really didn’t understand. Depending on the weight of each vegetable, one person spent up to seventeen yuan, equivalent to half a month’s salary for many people, to buy vegetables that the whole family could only eat for one or two meals at most. .
Why can they still laugh so happily?
You know, if you spend seventeen yuan to buy all the meat, you can buy at least seven or eight kilograms, and there will be enough leftover for the whole family to eat three delicious meals.
Could it be that she has been obsessed with studying greenhouse cultivation and has not been in contact with people outside for a long time, so she doesn't quite understand everyone's mental state?
Although he was very confused, Teacher Jin did not ask in front of the people in line and silently helped Xu Wanning.
It opened at eight o'clock in the morning, and by eleven o'clock, all three vegetables except lettuce had been sold out.
There are at least twenty or thirty people in the queue behind, and they can only buy lettuce.
"Boss Xu, are there any more cucumbers for sale tomorrow?"
"Yes, they will be sold every day for the past few days until they are sold out."
"Then I have to come early to queue up tomorrow, otherwise I will have to eat lettuce!"
"You still have to eat lettuce?" Well, I can still buy two nests of lettuce. I guess there won’t even be any lettuce when the queue reaches me. Hey!”
I can only hope that the queue will be shorter tomorrow.
Before twelve o'clock, all the dishes were sold out.
Xu Wanning said sorry to the people behind her and closed the door in front of them.
She stretched and said to Teacher Jin: "Teacher Jin, please count the total amount of money here, and then count it again. After all the vegetables are sold, this money will be our research for the new year." Funding."
Xu Wanning has said from the beginning that she will not keep any money from the fruits and vegetables grown in the greenhouse, but will donate it all to the research team of Huaqing University.
The research team grew this batch of vegetables with research funding provided by the money Xu Wanning earned from selling strawberries in the summer.
Teacher Jin counted the money carefully, not even missing a penny.
"Eight hundred and ninety-seven... We actually sold eight hundred and ninety-seven yuan in one morning!"
It was just a little shy of breaking the nine hundred yuan mark!
This number amazed Teacher Jin.
Xu Wanning is accustomed to it, "I estimate that the daily income in the past two days is almost the same. After all, mature vegetables are limited. After a few days, we will sell more in large quantities." A
conservative estimate is 60,000 yuan. Money can definitely be sold.
With this 60,000 yuan, we will have research funding for at least the first half of next year!
Xu Wanning’s plan is to overcome the difficulties next year and strive to have more varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables next year, so that everyone can improve.
Teacher Jin carefully put the money away and then asked his question.
"Sixteen or seventeen yuan can only buy a few kilograms of vegetables, but it can buy several kilograms of meat. Compared with meat, vegetables are not delicious at all. Why are everyone rushing to buy vegetables?"
Xu Wanning patiently said He explained: "Because, people who are willing to spend more than ten yuan to buy vegetables actually don't lack some meat at home."
Not to mention that the family eats meat every day, but only eats it every other day, which is nothing to them. .
