"Yes! How could there not be a market?
If there's no market, what are we going to eat?"
You guys aren't locals, are you?"
What are you doing in Luzhou?"
The boss of the shop was a woman in her forties. As soon as Xia Jianhua opened his mouth, the woman asked back enthusiastically.
Xia Jianhua pretended to sigh and said," Sigh, I don't have a way out in my hometown. I'm planning to come to the city to see if I can find a big market to make a living!"”
This was what Xia Qi and Xia Jianhua had secretly discussed.
There was no need to say anything when they were outside, especially in this era. The reputation of businessmen was still very bad. In addition, the fish and shrimp business itself did not have much technical content. If they could let the interested people know later, the competition would be later.
Moreover, he had changed the way he put it.
In an instant, the lady boss had already imagined the miserable background of Xia Jianhua and his son.
This was a person who could not survive in his hometown!
She even brought a child along.
"Aiyo, little brother, it's not easy for you!
Do you have any skills? We have three or four markets here. The largest one is straight down this road. Turn left in front and walk a few hundred meters inside.
Xia Jianhua and Xia Qi's goal was easily achieved.
They bought some things and started a business. Xia Jianhua brought Xia Qi along with him, and Xia Qi called her " Auntie!"”
It could be said that the lady boss almost closed the door and took Xia Jianhua to the market herself.
......
"You're too enthusiastic. I feel that there won't be any problems if you don't buy anything and ask!”
After leaving the store for dozens of meters, Xia Jianhua turned around and saw that the lady boss was still at the door. He smiled and said to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi nodded as well. He leaned into his father's ear and whispered,""That's right! The people of this era were much cuter than the materialistic people who had been bombarded with information!”
Only after experiencing the later decades did he know how simple and honest most people were.
In the future, it was common for people to live opposite each other for a few years without greeting each other.
The Internet had shortened the online distance between people around the world.
However, materialistic desires, individual negative news, the pressure of real life, and other things also made people in the real world lose a lot of simplicity and humanity.
However, this was a change in the social environment. It wasn't something Xia Qi could change, and Xia Qi had never thought of changing it.
In less than twenty minutes, Xia Jianhua and Xia Qi arrived at the biggest market near the train station.
It was not even five o'clock in the afternoon, so there were not many people in the market.
However, after a while, when the nearby factories closed, this place would be crowded.
"Let's go, son. Let's get down to business first!"
Xia Qi was put down. He was holding Xia Jianhua's hand as they walked into the market.
Xia Qi and Xia Jianhua weren't in a hurry to look for a dry goods store. In fact, they weren't sure if there was a store selling dry goods in this market.
However, after strolling around the market.
Xia Jianhua and Xia Qi understood the situation.
There were no dry goods stores in this market. There were two stores in the south, but there were no dried fish and prawns. They only had chili powder, dried seaweed, garlic, ginger, eggs, and so on.
After strolling around, there were only two stalls in the entire market. There were hawkers who put some small fish and prawns in bags before selling them.
"Boss, are you considering adding some small fish and prawns to sell here?”
Xia Jianhua went back to one of the shops near the market. He found the boss, smiled, and gave him a cigarette. Then, he went straight to the point.
"Little fish and shrimp?" The boss looked at Xia Jianhua in confusion.
Xia Jianhua didn't say anything else. He opened the gunny sack by his feet.
"This is the fish and prawns. I saw two stalls selling them in the market. They seem to be selling well. I saw that they should have two or three catties of goods in the first round, and now they have sold almost half of them.
Boss, your stall has such a good location. If you sell more goods, you'll have another way to make money.”
"How much are you giving me for one catty?"
The boss was very direct. While smoking, he bent down with his other hand and grabbed some fish and prawns.
With two fingers, he crushed a dried shrimp.
Xia Jianhua was a little excited when he heard his boss's words.
However, after Xia Qi pulled down his pants, he finally suppressed his emotions.
"Boss, it's 8.5 yuan in the market. Even if we bargain, it's 8.23 yuan.”
"Yes, I know!" The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. As he nodded, he took a dried fish from his palm and put it into his mouth.
"How about 7.50?"
Hearing that, the boss shook his head at Xia Jianhua.
"Brother, it's too expensive. It's 7.5 yuan, but it's only sold for 8 yuan. This kind of dry goods won't sell quickly.
How about this, six yuan. Little brother six yuan, you can leave these with me now. In the future, if you still have more, you can send some more according to my needs.”
"Boss, you're too ruthless!”It was Xia Jianhua's first time doing business, but he wasn't an inexperienced young man.
Moreover, last night, Xia Qi and he had already simulated a few possible scenarios for this scene.
Therefore, Xia Qi frowned and pretended to be helpless.
"Brother, my little fish and prawns are very dry. Try it yourself. One tael of dried fish and prawns is much better.
So many small fish and prawns could not be caught in one net, let alone processed.
Look at these fish. Other than the really small ones, the slightly larger ones have their stomachs and internal organs squeezed out.
Six was too little.
How about this, I'll make another concession. How about 7.20 yuan?
Boss, it's sold for 8.5 yuan outside. Even if you bargain, you can earn at least one yuan per catty!”
Xia Jianhua was a teacher. Although he taught English, his language skills were not weak. Moreover, he had prepared everything last night, as if he had prepared a lesson.
Although he was not good at bargaining when he bought the goods from the market in the morning, Xia Jianhua acted like a veteran now that he had a plan in advance. He did not look like a newbie at all.
In the end, the price was quickly set.
6.81 RMB per catty.
In the words of the boss, take a lucky number and send it to me.
The sack was left behind on the spot.
It weighed a little more than 11 catties and 20 taels, which was the same as when his father bought it from the market.
The boss rounded it up and gave him seventy-five yuan.
