The fat old lady's heart was slightly moved. "Really?"
She also has a grandson who only eats one-third of a bowl of rice at each meal. If he is given more than that, he will act as if his life is being chopped off and will refuse to eat.
Moreover, he is very picky about food. He doesn't eat this or that, so she doesn't know what vegetables to buy every day.
"Hey, could I lie to you?" Zhou Xiuqin said with a smile, "Kids love fresh food. If they have fresh food, they might eat an extra bowl of rice."
The fat old lady was moved by what he said and decided to buy half a pound immediately.
After buying the red mushrooms, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she teased Yaoyao and talked to Zhou Xiuqin about her experience in raising children.
Three minutes after the fat old lady bought the red mushrooms, another old lady came over and asked about the price.
After learning that it was 180 yuan per pound, I bought half a pound without hesitation.
Business started to pick up, with people coming to buy from time to time, most of them buying half a catty or three ounces.
"Great, you have a stall today!"
A small electric scooter was parked in front of the stall, and the rider was a woman in her 30s.
Shen Yunzhao still remembered this person as one of yesterday's customers. However, he was very good at bargaining and insisted that they lower the price to 170. Shen Yunzhao and Cheng Shaoyuan refused to agree, so she finally bought half a catty.
Shen Yunzhao greeted enthusiastically, "Sister, would you like to buy some more red mushrooms today? How much do you want, half a catty or a catty?"
"I'm not buying it, my friend wants to buy it. Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call."
The woman picked up her phone and made a call. After the call, she said to Shen Yunzhao, "Boss, when are you closing the stall?"
"It's still early! I came in late today and didn't sell many red mushrooms, so I didn't close the stall so early."
"That's fine. Wait a minute, I have a friend coming over to buy some red mushrooms. Leave 8 jin for her. No, at least 10 jin."
"When will your friend come over?"
"soon."
"How long will it take? Sister, I..."
"It will be quick anyway. Remember to stay, I have to go to work!"
After the woman finished speaking, she rode away on her electric donkey.
Chen Yunzhao was disheveled in the wind and hadn't even paid a deposit. How could she stay?
If it was just one or half a pound, not a large quantity, she would keep it anyway. But if it was 10 or 8 pounds of red mushrooms at once, she couldn't just sit there and wait, right?
Fortunately, Shen Yunzhao didn't have to wait long before the woman's friend arrived.
She was wearing a white dress, riding a pink electric scooter, and speaking in a soft voice.
"Boss, my friend just told me you have a lot of fresh red mushrooms. How many are left?"
"How much do you want?" Shen Yunzhao asked back.
"Let me see."
The woman in the white dress got off the electric scooter, squatted down and started to look at it. She also picked up a few flowers and put them in her hands to look at them carefully.
After a while, she looked up and asked, "I want 20 kilograms. Do you have that much?"
Shen Yunzhao was surprised. She thought the woman in the white dress would weigh only seven or eight kilograms at most, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly become so big that she would weigh 20 kilograms!
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Shen Yunzhao's smile grew even brighter. "Do you want to pick it yourself or should I help you? This basket of mine is almost a pound."
"I'll pick it myself!"
The woman in the white dress slowly picked it up.
Shen Yunzhao was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable squatting, so he brought a plastic stool for her to sit on.
The woman in the white dress is a very careful person. She examines every red mushroom carefully. She discards those with raised caps, those with holes, those with white mushroom flesh exposed on the cap, those that are too small, and those that are too big.
Shen Yunzhao's eyes twitched as she watched. If all customers were so picky, she would have no business left.
Red mushrooms grow deep in the mountains, so it is impossible for every one of them to be beautiful. Some bloom early, some bloom late, some are big, some are small, and some are partially eaten by insects.
In short, they are uneven and cannot be exactly the same.
The woman in the white dress was picking out high-quality mushrooms.
There is a huge price difference between premium mushrooms and ordinary red mushrooms.
Shen Yunzhao paid attention to the woman in the white dress for a while and then he had no time to spare because many guests came. Even Zhou Xiuqin came to help with Yaoyao on her back.
Half an hour later, the woman in the white dress finally picked out 20 kilograms of red mushrooms.
"Boss, please weigh it for me. Each basket is 1 jin. No more, no less."
"good."
Shen Yunzhao weighed the baskets one by one, removing the excess and adding the missing ones. Each basket was exactly 1 jin or a little more.
"Sister, the total price for 20 kilograms is 3,600. Do you use WeChat or Alipay?"
"WeChat."
After receiving the money, Shen Yunzhao said with a smile, "Sister, next time you come to buy red mushrooms, don't be picky. If you want to be picky, the price will not be 180 per catty, but 230."
The woman in the white dress frowned slightly, "Why is there such a big difference?"
"Hey, you picked the best quality mushrooms. Quality mushrooms are more expensive than ordinary red mushrooms."
The woman in the white dress was unhappy. "Boss, you are so unreasonable. You can't even choose what you buy?"
Shen Yunzhao was speechless. It was not that she did not allow customers to pick. In the past two days, many customers picked the red mushrooms themselves, but they just picked casually. How could they pick as carefully and seriously as she did?
Moreover, in previous years, when Shen Yunzhao went to buy red mushrooms, people would put them directly into baskets, and most of the baskets were filled with half a pound or a pound, leaving you no chance to pick.
Chen Yunzhao patiently explained, "For example, if you go to the supermarket to buy shrimp, it will cost more than 40 yuan per catty if you pick it yourself, but it will only cost more than 20 yuan per catty if the supermarket staff pick it. The same is true for me selling red mushrooms."
"Humph, he's just a profiteer!"
Although the woman in the white dress was unhappy, she didn't pay more and left with a sullen face.
The behavior of the woman in the white dress somewhat affected Shen Yunzhao, causing the red mushrooms to sell even more slowly.
Fortunately, the red mushrooms she picked were of good quality overall, and they were all sold out around 10 o'clock, with not a single one left.
On the way back, Shen Yunzhao summed up his experience: from now on, customers will not be allowed to pick red mushrooms. If they do, the price will not be 180, but 230.
At the same time, she plans to purchase two types of baskets, one for 1 kilogram and one for half a kilogram.
Some customers are in a hurry to get to work and don't have time to stop and pick. This ready-packed red mushroom basket is very convenient. After weighing and paying, customers can pick it up and go.
Of course, Shen Yunzhao intended to do long-term business, so he naturally couldn't be like those unscrupulous merchants who shortchanged the weight or hid the bad and rotten red mushrooms at the bottom of the basket.
…
When they got home, Yaoyao was sleeping soundly in Shen Yunzhao's arms.
Chen Yunzhao put Yaoyao on the bed, pounded his sore and painful waist, and then pounded his legs that felt like they were filled with aluminum.
Too tired.
At this moment, she just wanted to lie down and sleep, and not go anywhere.
Zhou Xiuqin pushed the door open and walked in. "Yun Zhao, are you still going out?"
Shen Yunzhao didn't want to move at all. "No, I'm too tired. I'll hold Yaoyao and go to sleep for a while. Mom, you should go to sleep too."
Zhou Xiuqin couldn't hold on any longer and yawned.
"Okay. I won't wake you up at noon. I guess I'll sleep until the afternoon too."
"Okay. Call Dad and let him take care of his lunch."
After Zhou Xiuqin left, Shen Yunzhao fell asleep.
