Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 5 Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market
When you have an idea, act on it.

In the past two days, when she went to buy vegetables in the morning, Ling Yue used the pretense of buying vegetables to make friends with the vegetable vendors.

Generally, the stallkeepers are female comrades. They have soft ears. If Ling Yue says something nice, or buys some food from her, she will answer whatever you ask without doubting anything.

Ling Yue's goal is very clear, which is to find out where their dishes are approved from.

Like the kind that you can't eat all the vegetables grown in your own field, and only sell them when the vegetables are wilted, she won't go to see them, she only picks out the good-looking stall owners and asks.

After asking for two days in a row, Ling Yue also got useful news - the fruit and vegetable wholesale market.

The Qingpu Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market was only built in the past two years. It used to be just a wasteland for building materials and waste.

Because the space is large enough to facilitate the parking of trucks and trucks, the earliest fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Qingpu City has been formed over time, and it is also the first agricultural product wholesale market in Qingpu City.

However, the fruit and vegetable wholesale market is closed from 06:30 to [-]:[-] in the evening, and only three or four in the morning is the busiest.

After learning the exact location, Ling Yue didn't know where the courage came from. At four o'clock in the morning, she went to the fruit and vegetable wholesale market alone with a flashlight.

In the 80s, the transportation was not good, and the transportation was inconvenient, and greenhouse vegetables were not fully popularized. The varieties of fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable wholesale market were pitifully small, and they were generally seasonal fruits and vegetables.

This morning, Ling Yue finally discovered a new variety - Zaosu pear.

Zaosu pears are imported products in Qingpu City. The local pears in Qingpu City are yellow and clear pears, which are obviously different from the green-skinned Zaosu pears.

Moreover, Zaosu pears are more durable than other fruits.

Take bananas as an example. Although there are already bananas in Qingpu City at this time, they are not resistant to storage. Due to limited conditions, dark spots will appear on the skin in one to two days, and they will be completely black in three or four days. , At this time, it will not be sold at a price at all.

But Zaosu pears are different. As long as they don't bump into each other, no matter how bad the business is, they won't show any change in appearance after selling for ten days and a half months.

When asked about the price, Ling Yue was very glad that she sold her hair to make up the money.

Prices are generally cheap now. Even Zaosu pears shipped from other places only cost [-] cents a catty. If you want [-] catties at a time, there is a discount on the price and even door-to-door delivery.

Thinking that he had brought all the only 45 yuan at home, Ling Yue waved his hand and bought 160 catties of crispy pears in one breath, and then spent [-] cents at the market to order a cart to take home.

After returning home, she unloaded the goods and asked Wang Zhaoyang to pay the fare. She cooked a bowl of noodles and had a whole breakfast, then went out with the load.

Seeing that Ling Yue bought the fruit early in the morning and came back and said that he was selling it, the comrades in the family courtyard started the mocking mode.

"A person who can't even write her own name still wants to start a business. It's really easy to do business! Just wait and see, within three days, she will definitely lose money."

Some lovers of gossip organized a group to find Wang Zhaoyang.

"Wang Gong, did your family lose their brains two days ago? How long will it take to sell so many pears?"

"On our floor, your salary is high. Could it be that your salary can't support three people?"

Wang Zhaoyang didn't want to talk to them at first, but thinking about seeing them up and down, he had no choice but to agree: "Aunt Liu, Xiaoyue is right, she can't just do nothing at home, since she wants to do business, let her Let her do it."

"I think you are all idle! Is your salary enough for her to waste it like this! I saw that you only eat noodles at home two days ago! If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children!"

"Tongtong is five years old. She is the thinnest in our building. I have some spare money. Why not buy more delicious food for Tongtong?"

"No, if the one in my family dares to make such a fuss, I'll beat her up until her mother doesn't even know her!"

Everyone said something to each other, as if Ling Yue had done something outrageous.

Wang Zhaoyang had a good personality. He originally thought that they would live in the same building. When he saw them coming, he wanted to give them a few pears to try. Now he heard what they said, and he stopped thinking about it.

He said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you lose money or make money, since Xiaoyue likes it, let her do it."

Everyone chatted out of the house, and went to the water room downstairs to discuss again.

"I heard that it weighs more than 100 catties, this Ling Xiaoyue is really courageous."

"I really can't see it. The vegetable market costs fifty or sixty cents a catty. I think she will definitely smash it in her hands."

"You are stupid. The pears in the vegetable market are all at retail price. She bought so much, it must be less than [-] cents, otherwise she would earn nothing!"

"It makes sense. It's just that if others want more, can she count it?"

Immediately, a woman interjected: "Why can't I figure it out? Fifty cents for a catty, five yuan for ten catties, and 50 yuan for a hundred catties. She can still figure it out."

"Sister Chen, let me ask you, if I want seven catties and four taels of pears, do you think she is still worth it?"

There was a burst of laughter in the water room.

Ling Xiaoyue is illiterate, this was her own admission when she first came to the family home, and she couldn't help but refute it.

"I really don't know what Wang Zhaoyang is thinking. A dignified college student and a technician in the factory, it's fine if he marries such a lazy and greedy country woman. After returning home from work, he not only has to wash clothes, cook and take care of the children, but also Serving her, if it were me, I would have divorced this woman a long time ago."

"I don't know, it's the fate of that country woman. It is said that the two of them have been married since they were young. Think about it, what kind of family would make a baby kiss?"

"Oh, then tell me, what kind of family would make a baby kiss?"

"You can think about it with your toes. This is not a baby kiss, it's obviously a child bride! It's a baby kiss, but it's just for face."

"Makes sense!"

The malicious speculation in the water room was that Ling Yue didn't know about it. At this time, she came to the market carrying pears. Before she could put down the burden, someone grabbed her.

"Big sister, what kind of pear are you, why is it still green?"

Seeing the business coming, Ling Yue quickly put down the burden, took a pear and handed it over: "Sister, this is Zaosu pear, which is different from the yellow pear in Qingpu City. It looks like green skin. Try it. It's sweet and full of moisture."

The person who came quickly waved his hand: "I won't taste it if I taste it. If it is really as good as you said, then I will weigh some. How do you sell this pear?"

"Fifty cents a catty."

The woman frowned: "So expensive? Then weigh me two catties first."

Ling Yue quickly took out the pole scale and weighed two catties: "Sister, two catties and two liang, even two catties, one yuan."

The woman gave the money, took the pear and took a bite.

Suddenly, a fresh fragrance exploded in his mouth, and the juice flowed down the corner of his mouth.
