What should I do...
The vegetable vendor understood their mentality and, confident in his decision, even openly advised them, "Few people in town come here to buy vegetables. If you don't sell to me, you might not be able to find anyone else. Didn't you just say that your vegetables are so good, it would be a shame to let them rot in the fields?"
"Then...then we..." Jing Li grabbed Qin Zhao's sleeve.
"We won't sell it." Qin Zhao said calmly.
Jing Li: “Ah?”
Qin Zhao squeezed his hand and repeated to the vegetable vendor, "We don't sell anymore. Please go back."
After saying that, he really pulled Jing Li away.
"Wait, wait!" The vegetable vendor, not expecting him to be so decisive, said hurriedly, "Or I'll give you another penny per cart, no, two pennies. Don't be so anxious to leave, we can negotiate."
The price he offered was much lower than the purchase price, so even if it increased slightly, he would still make a profit.
But if you let him go, you won't make any money at all.
Qin Zhao stopped.
But before he could say anything else, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Add another 30% to the price, or I won't sell it to you."
Jing Li turned his head and saw that it was Ayi.
The vegetable vendor also looked over, and when he saw the boy clearly, he immediately became angry: "What do you know about Shuang'er? If you increase the price by 30%, will I still make a profit? Go away."
Ah Yi flinched in uncertainty at his words, but still insisted, "But, but it should be like this. Wouldn't a price lower than this be too low? Even other villages wouldn't lower the price so much, right?"
Adding another 30% to the price is indeed almost the purchase price given by the owner, but in that case, the vegetable vendor will hardly make any profit from this trip.
The vegetable vendor was secretly surprised that the young man had made an accurate estimate, but he also secretly felt unlucky that he had run into someone who knew the business.
The vegetable vendor said, "At most, I'll add three cents per cart. No more than that."
Ayi: “You——”
Qin Zhao took a step forward, stood in front of him, and said calmly: "Please go back."
The vegetable vendor was still a little unwilling, but he couldn't keep it a secret, so he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, it's bad luck."
After saying that, he turned around, got on the ox cart, and drove away in shame.
Jing Li asked: "Ayi, why are you here?"
Ayi replied, "The young master of the Chen family is going up the mountain with Grandpa Xue. I heard you were going to sell vegetables, so I wanted to come over and help."
Jing Li: “…”
It seems someone has made a wasted trip.
Ayi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and continued, "I've done business in the county, and these vendors like to lower the price they buy from so they can make a profit."
Jing Li: "So that's how it is."
Ayi felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to bargain, but he just left. Your vegetables..."
This is indeed a problem.
If purchasing doesn't work, they have to find other ways to sell the vegetables.
"The extra vegetables can be exchanged with the villagers, or processed and preserved." Qin Zhao stroked Jing Li's hair. "You worked so hard to grow those vegetables. I don't want you to sell them so cheaply."
It was not easy for Jing Li when he first learned to farm. He went out early and came back late every day, and his hands were almost worn out.
Qin Zhao looked distressed.
"Or, do you want to send the vegetables to the city to sell? I know how to sell things, so I can help."
Ah Yi indirectly drove away the vendor, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "Besides, doesn't the young master of the Chen family have an ox cart at home? One cart can carry 50 kilograms, and it can be sold out in half a day."
Jing Li's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."
The three of them went home and discussed some details about selling vegetables, and the matter was settled.
Qin Zhao originally wanted to go with them, but Jing Li was worried that he would not be able to handle it. Moreover, the medicine preparation would start tomorrow, so he had to stay and help Mr. Xue process some medicinal herbs. Therefore, the task of selling vegetables was left to Jing Li and Ayi.
The next day, the two got up early, borrowed Chen's ox cart, went to the fields, loaded a full cart of vegetables and transported it to the town.
Ayi is indeed very talented in business. He has a clear and complete plan on how to set prices, how to sell products, how much to buy to get discounts, and which dishes can be sold together.
They had been in town for less than an hour when the truckload of vegetables was almost sold out.
Jing Li was so busy this morning that he didn't even have time to breathe. After seeing off the last customer, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ayi, "You are really amazing."
