There was a cart full of fruits. From the moment Wei Tao rode his tricycle slowly in the crowded morning market, many pairs of eyes had been staring at him.
It wasn’t because of his sharp eyes that he could tell that the quality of his fruits was good, but because of that wrench battle, everyone knew about this couple. Aren’t they vegetable sellers? I wonder how they got fruit?
Zhou Xinglian was also shocked, why did her son earn so much?
Within ten days, not only did Zhou Xinglian gain confidence in her new life, but also because of Wei Tao's persistence, the couple's stall gained some repeat customers.
In the morning market, what you sell is the residents living around you. Only by providing food and accommodation to repeat customers can you gain a firm foothold.
"Uncle, these melons are good today. I'll open one and you can try it."
"You can taste the cantaloupe as you like. Pick one and I'll peel it for you. You can buy it after you taste it."
It is the season to eat cantaloupe and watermelon, and the prices of these two fruits are not high. Ordinary working-class families often eat these two fruits as their main fruits in summer. It is very common for a person to buy a plastic bag weighing more than ten kilograms.
"Auntie, this is where your home is. Okay, I'll take it to your home." An old lady really seemed pretentious and chose a bad-looking one to try. After tasting it, she bought it all at once. Thirty kilograms. If you can't carry it, you have to carry it several times at a time. When he saw his aunt Zhou Xingrong coming, Wei Tao said that he could send it to the old lady's home.
Just a few minutes away, there are two large plastic bags of cantaloupes and several seasonal fresh vegetables. The quality and service attitude bring a good impression. This is not the first day for this old lady to buy her own vegetables. Every time she picks and chooses, it looks very special. Troublesome, but in the past two days, I casually picked up the dishes placed in front and on top without being picky. Today, I even took care of dozens of dollars worth of business at once.
"Brother Kai, here we come." The eldest cousin Zhao Kai also came with the aunt and helped pack the bags to sell goods. When Wei Tao came back, he peeled a cantaloupe first and handed over a cigarette. Zhao Kai also looked at it. My mother took the cigarette and asked her brother to light it for her.
"No, I have to go to the provincial capital to go to work and pack my luggage. I've gained some weight. I have a lot of clothes and pants that are not as slim as my upper body. I'll bring them to you."
Since he was very young, Wei Tao has been picking up his cousin's clothes from time to time. In fact, he doesn't need to explain anything, and he accepts it happily. After taking over the clothes, he suddenly thought that he and his mother had been busy for half a month and had made some money, but the wind and rain came and went every day, let alone buying something for themselves. It was good to have a serious meal. I haven't eaten any good food.
"Brother, are you going to Dongchen? I heard they are getting mobile phones now."
"I go to the pager department, after-sales department."
In the busy morning, he didn't have time to chat with his cousin Zhao Kai. Wei Tao just confirmed the incident in his memory - his cousin went to Dongchen Mobile Phone After-sales Service.
It was time for the morning market, and the market was cleared. Only half of the cantaloupes were sold. Zhou Xinglian was still worried and chatted with her eldest sister. After some other fruit sellers came over to take a look, the tricycle was pushed aside and no longer occupied the road. It didn't take long, and Wei Tao resold all the remaining boxes of cantaloupe wholesale at a price that was only 15 cents higher than the purchase price.
"Auntie, it's the weekend. If you have nothing to do during the day, go shopping with my mother to the mall and buy two pieces of clothing. There isn't much left. I'll go around the community in the morning and I can sell about the same."
On weekends, the main sales time is not after get off work, but at 9:10 a.m., when you are sleeping in. If you can sell vegetables in the community, you will intercept some customers who get up to buy vegetables at the vegetable market, but specifically It’s hard to say how much it can sell for.
Monday to Friday is different from weekends. Purchasing all depends on experience. The morning market is more lively on weekends, and it is more depressed during the day and weekends. Occasionally, there are some items that cannot be sold on the same day. On the second day, in such hot weather, even if it is placed in a cool place at night In the warehouse, the quality of the transferred goods also deteriorated, and it was not easy to sell. It was sold twice at a loss price that was lower than the purchase price. These two times also made Zhou Xinglian realize that maybe what his son said was right. , if it can be sold out the day before, it is best not to delay it until the next day, as my son said, yes, small profits but quick turnover.
Under Wei Tao's persuasion, the aunt took her mother to take a bath first, and then they went shopping. Zhou Xinglian said that she would buy two sets of clothes for her son. Seeing him holding up the old clothes sent by Zhao Kai, she felt a little sad. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I made up my mind to buy a pair of shoes and two T-shirts for my son when I went shopping.
Wei Tao went home and circled the house a few times on his tricycle. He didn't meet the girl selling wild vegetables. He washed his face, put on the jeans and T-shirt given by his cousin, and looked at the clothes on his waist. fanny pack and a smile on his face.
After more than ten days of performance, although he did not get verbal recognition, he actually got his mother's recognition that he could be one of the leaders of the family.
Go to the fruit wholesale market alone to purchase goods.
The waist bag containing all the cash for the goods was securely tied around his waist.
My mother took away a few hundred yuan and kept the remaining three thousand yuan in her pocket. The goods in the car were still worth several hundred yuan.
Only with recognition will you feel at ease, and only with peace of mind will you feel at ease.
The era before mobile phone payment was very troublesome. You had to buy goods every day and carry the money with you. It was not absolutely reassuring. Zhou Xinglian would never dare to let her son hold the money alone.
In the past, I was worried that he would be naive and spend money indiscriminately. I'm worried that he will lose it again if he misses it. Furthermore, I was worried that something might happen to him because he was young and carrying so much money.
Zhou Xinglian did not admit anything else during the spanner fight, but it seemed that the safety of money on his son was higher than on himself.
……………………
Even if the Jiangnan area is developed at present, the fully enclosed community model like that of later generations has not yet been launched. At most, an area has the same houses and one developer, and the overall feeling is the same, so it is called a community.
There are many old-fashioned residential areas, which cannot actually be called communities. In autumn, vehicles selling cabbage, potatoes and winter vegetables come and go at will, and there are no so-called gates or fences.
Wei Tao did not go to such an old community, but to several newly developed high-end new communities. Relatively speaking, he knew the residents in such communities, the people who went to the morning market or the vegetable market some distance away to buy food. , must be less than the old community.
I got a loudspeaker, that's it. It won't take long. A few years later, you will repeatedly shout from the loudspeaker in the morning that you want to enter some commercial and residential areas. Maybe you can sneak in, but it won't take long. Kicked out by security.
You make noise.
At the moment, such a voice is more like a reminder and a call. If you need to buy vegetables and fruits, open the window and shout, and I will stop or wait for a while in the front area of the building.
He set the time after ten o'clock. If it were eight or nine o'clock, you would probably get scolded occasionally and you would have to admit it in despair and leave.
Categories, fresh quality, low prices.
Wei Tao, who walks around the streets, implements the established policy of "small profits but quick turnover" or even "sales without profit".
The ones sold in the front are sold at a higher price, and the ones in the back are made if they don't lose money. Otherwise, if they are rotten, they are throwing away money. His idea is to go in quickly and get out quickly.
The loudspeaker was turned on for a while, and some people came down to buy groceries. Wei Tao turned off the loudspeaker and sold more than a dozen scales. The effect was average. He lit a cigarette and sat on the motorcycle in the shade, with his feet raised and placed on the Put your hands on your hands, lean back, and take a break.
"Um?"
A figure came into view. Wei Tao confirmed that he was not mistaken and stared at the other person. The other person's eyes dodged and he was originally glancing here, but he was caught by Wei Tao's eyes when they met.
"HELLO!"
Cao Xiyu didn't expect that Wei Tao would smile and wave to greet her. She thought the other party would deliberately lower his head and pretend not to see it.
I was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
"Cao Xiyu, what's the matter? It's only been two years since I last met, so I'm pretending not to know him."
One is a young and thin-skinned young man, and the other is a veteran who has struggled in society and is neither a social cow nor a social fear. What's wrong with selling vegetables on a three-wheeled motorcycle? There is no reason for embarrassment and shamelessness in Wei Tao. .
"Wei Tao, what are you talking about?"
"Haha, it's good to know each other. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I miss you so much. I'm getting more and more beautiful." It's been a long time since we last met. It's been twenty years in real life, but we've seen Wei Tao on TV at that time. He is a member of the Beipiao clan in a big city, an ordinary person who has barely taken root; this Bai Yueguang, who is in his junior high school class, is already a very famous dancer in the country.
Being able to recognize him at a glance, Wei Tao admitted that the other person left a very deep impression on him in his two lives. After entering the society, struggle and life are difficult, and I miss the carefree student days even more. The white moonlight in this era will also leave a particularly deep impression. It has nothing to do with anything else, just recalling it has a little bit of beauty.
Liu Lei must have money later on, so he only dared to attack Bai Yueguang, a student in the next class, and spend money on him. As for the one in front of him, he has been in the same class for three years, and he is ignorant and young, and his first love affair is the age when he is most likely to have a special liking for girls. Liu Lei I guess like all boys, I just dare to think about it in my mind.
Cao Xiyu frowned. She didn't want to hear or accept such a joke-like attitude.
Seeing her reaction, Wei Tao knew that the goddess Bai Yueguang was just so out of reach. She was at the age of youth and it was said that she was the girl who was talked about the most by boys in high school.
"I'm going to be late for class." Cao Xiyu raised his shoulders to draw the other person's attention to the violin he was carrying.
"Oh, then you are busy." Wei Tao waved his hand to say goodbye.
Cao Xiyu walked forward twenty or thirty meters and heard the sound of a motorcycle starting up behind him. The sound of driving gradually faded away. He frowned slightly and looked back. He saw the old classmate who was actually very impressive, riding a three-wheeled motorcycle. Drive in the opposite direction to yourself.
Um?
When he said hello, he was like those proactive boys inside and outside the school. They seemed to be waiting for his response, good or bad, to have more contact. Just now, he seemed to just bump into an old classmate and say hello?
How did she know that no matter how Bai Yueguang is, no matter how goddess she is, even if she becomes more beautiful more than ten years later, in Wei Tao's heart, it is impossible for her to do any bad behavior because of this.
That thing will definitely not die well.
Whoever you provoke, don’t provoke the White Moonlight Goddess. In many movies, TV series, novels, and in many real lives, it has been clearly told that if you can’t bruise her knees, don’t try to provoke her, otherwise she will The eyes drift over, you have to understand for yourself, is there something I didn't do well?
Long time no see, say hello.
Hi, old classmate.
