, wonderful and free of pop-ups! In this area of Qingshui Town, there is a big market on the first, fifteenth and twenty-fifth of every month. People from nearby villages come here to buy and sell.
Today happened to be the twenty-fifth day of the month, and Yang Ruoqing caught up with the big gathering.
Along the way, she was dazzled by the various agricultural and sideline products.
If it weren't for the different clothes of the people around her, she would have thought she had walked into a farmer's market in the 21st century.
"Qing'er, there's space over there, let's set up a stall there!"
"Hey, okay!"
Yang Ruoqing followed Yang Huazhou, and after going around in circles, she finally found an open space to settle down near the outskirts of Wa City.
There, Yang Huazhou untied the knitted items carried on the pole and stacked them neatly. Yang Ruoqing raised her head and glanced around.
This location is really remote. Looking at the stalls next to it, there are also many vendors dressed as farmers.
Some sell peanuts, soybeans, sesame and the like, while others buy Chinese cabbage, which are the most common things in life.
In comparison, she can still be considered a big merchant with a lot of knitted products, she chuckled to herself.
"Qing'er, you squat here and wait for someone to buy it. I have to take the time to go to the owner's house on the other side of the town. When it's lunch time, I'll pick you up!"
"Okay, uncle, go and do your work first."
"Have you remembered the price I told you before?" Yang Huazhou asked again.
Yang Huazhou set a sales price for Yang Ruoqing based on his understanding of the commodity prices in the tile market.
For the weaving type, a basket costs four cents, a basket costs five cents, and a patterned dustpan costs six cents.
Dried matsutake costs five cents per catty, eel costs twenty-eight cents per catty, and wild rabbit costs thirty cents per catty.
"Uncle, don't worry, I've remembered it all here, I'm sure there won't be any mistakes!" Yang Ruoqing pointed to her head and said with a smile to Yang Huazhou.
Only then did Yang Huazhou leave with peace of mind.
Yang Ruoqing squatted down and started selling.
I glanced at the vendors on the left and right, and they were all squatting there, waiting for others to pass by their stalls, and then say hello.
As the sun gradually rises, the flow of people increases. In front of Yang Ruoqing's stall, there were many people looking at it, but not many people buying.
"Little girl, how do you sell these baskets and dustpans?"
A woman pointed to the pile of knitting products as Yang Ruoqing.
"A basket costs four cents, a basket costs five cents, a dustpan costs six cents..." Yang Ruoqing stood up quickly and quoted the price she had memorized as if she was endorsing it, while looking at the woman expectantly.
The woman just picked up the dustpan and looked up and down for a few times, then put it back and went to the stall next door.
Although she was a little disappointed, Yang Ruoqing was not discouraged and continued to wait!
But then, the same experience happened again.
After going back and forth, Yang Ruoqing became a little anxious when she saw that the vendors on the left and right were selling some things one after another, but her own place had not yet opened.
After rolling her eyes, Yang Ruoqing decided to show off her face and turn from passive to active.
So, she stood up, cleared her throat, and covered the front of her mouth with her hands to make a trumpet shape, so that the sound could spread farther.
"If you pass by, don't miss it. The good things here all cost five cents. For five cents, you can't buy it and you will suffer a loss. For five cents, you can't buy it and you will be deceived..."
"Come and see, come and see, good stuff, good quality, cheap and durable..."
Facts have proved that Yang Ruoqing's trick really works.
After a while, a circle of people gathered in front of the stall.
At this time, Yang Ruoqing had already picked up a dustpan with exquisite patterns for display: "Use it at home, give it to friends, visit relatives and friends, it is beautiful and practical..."
Yang Ruoqing did not divide the baskets, baskets and dustpans into three equal prices as Yang Huazhou told her, but instead sold them at a compromise amount.
The people who were gathered around at first were all attracted by the beautifully patterned dustpan.
There are people selling similar dustpans over there. They don’t have any patterns, they don’t look very good, and they cost seven cents each.
"Little girl, this dustpan is so beautiful. Did you make it up?" someone asked curiously.
Yang Ruoqing smiled sweetly: "My father made it up! Auntie, would you like to buy one? Take it back to carry clothes and stuff, it's beautiful and practical... Five cents, five buns, swallowed in a few mouthfuls , this dustpan can be used for one or two years!”
"You little girl really know how to plan, okay, then give me one!"
In this way, Yang Ruoqing's stall finally opened.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first one to buy a dustpan will be the second one.
Soon, the dustpans were sold out, most of the baskets were sold, and a few baskets were picked up.
"How do you sell this eel?"
Someone came over and asked.
Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw that the other person was a middle-aged uncle who was a little overweight. He raised his hand and pointed at the eel in the bucket at Yang Ruoqing's feet and asked.
"Thirty-two cents per catty."
Yang Ruoqing said, slightly raising the price by four cents based on the established price.
The middle-aged man didn't express his opinion. He leaned over and looked at the eels in the barrel. "It's quite fresh. The thicker one is worth the price, but the others are not worth it!"
He shook his head, stood up, put his hands behind his back and was about to leave.
"Uncle, please stay so we can discuss it!" Yang Ruoqing called to him with a smile.
"These eels were caught last night. I can't bear to eat them at home. It's not easy to sell them for two bucks!" Yang Ruoqing laughed and said, "Otherwise, for thirty cash per catty, I'll give you another basket." How about we go pack some things?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then raised his foot and kicked the barrel lightly, "Thirty-two cents per pound, it's almost enough to give me the barrel together!"
Yang Ruoqing looked a little confused. This wooden barrel was one of the few pieces of furniture in the house. It cost only four cents to give it away. It was a loss!
The middle-aged man was also very discerning. Seeing that Yang Ruoqing was not gnawing, he smiled and pointed to the rabbit tied next to her: "What's the price of that rabbit?"
Yang Ruoqing came to her senses and said hurriedly: "The rabbit is thirty cents a pound."
She accidentally caught sight of the middle-aged man's fingers, and she was secretly surprised.
Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up, and a plan was brewing in her heart...
Over there, a middle-aged man squatted there, looking at the rabbit.
There was obviously admiration in his eyes, but he still shook his head: "It's not bad to be fat and strong, but it's a pity that it's a male rabbit. It would be great if it was a female rabbit! The male rabbit is not worth the price! Then its neck part is missing A circle of hair, the rabbit skin will be peeled off when the time comes, there will be flaws, it won’t make a waistcoat, it’s not good, it’s bad!”
Yang Ruoqing secretly rolled her eyes. Such a good-hearted rabbit has been criticized as worthless by you. Damn it!
