Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

  Chapter 537 Selling Crabs

  The next morning, Niuniu pretended to go to her university with Han Mingxiu to see what the university was like, and left with Han Mingxiu.

  The two of them sent the young girl to the kindergarten first. Then Han Mingxiu took Niuniu to the courtyard on the other side of the turret.

"This courtyard belongs to my friend. She is not in the capital now. Ask me to take care of the yard. I will put your tricycle and seafood here." Han Mingxiu said as he opened the door and took Niuniu entered the yard.

  Because it is a “house that is looked after for others”, she did not bring Niuniu into the main room, but instead brought her into the east wing.

  The east wing was cold and there was no fire. Inside is the tricycle that Han Mingxiu purchased yesterday, with a bag of crabs, a scale, and some nylon net pockets.

"These crabs are imported for one yuan per catty. You can sell them for one jin for one jin. You sell them on the first day today. I didn’t dare to buy more, so I only bought one hundred jin. You can try selling them first. If you do, I will give you more money tomorrow." Han Mingxiu said, pointing at the crabs.

  Niuniu saw the bag of crabs, she suddenly became a little timid, licked her lips and said,

"Um... Auntie, this thing is so expensive, can it really be sold? Or, let's sell it cheaper, let's sell it for one pound per pound, let's sell one pound for one pound! I'm not greedy for more. Just click."

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Do you think you can really make two cents if you sell one and two for a pound of money? Stupid boy, you think too much. When selling goods, you must have bargaining with you, people. If you buy less, it’s fine. If you buy more, you have to give them a cheaper price. Otherwise, can they balance it? If this is a price reduction, and also, when you are weighing, you will have to worry about it. People who weigh the poles won’t work even if they are level. You have to weigh the tall poles. When you settle the accounts, you have to erase a little bit..."

"This time and the other, you can earn a dime per catty. It’s not bad that you can’t even make a dime! So, this price is really the lowest price. It’s a very cold day. Son, let's sell goods in carts, and if we are cold and suffer, why should we make some money?"

  After Han Mingxiu said that, Niuniu gave up the idea of ​​lowering the price, but she was still a little worried, "Auntie, this crab is so expensive, can anyone really buy it?"

  Han Mingxiu comforted her and said: “Some of the rich people in the capital are afraid that there will be no good goods. As long as there are good goods, they don’t worry about not being able to sell them.”

  Not to mention the rapid economic development of the country in the past two years, and the people’s living standards have improved day by day. Even when the living standards were not good in the first few years, none of the crabs she sold to the purchasing manager were left. Until now, the purchasing manager of that big market is still looking for her from far away, wanting to buy crabs from her!

  Niuniu felt a little relieved when she heard her words. After quietly cheering myself up, I pushed the car out of the courtyard with my aunt and went to the street to sell crabs.

  Now the policy has been relaxed, and the people have been allowed to sell their own things for self-employment. From time to time, there will be hawkers with carts on the street, selling buns, buns, sugar triangles, candied haws, groceries, sugar balls...

  There are also various craftsmen who set up stalls and take care of tasks: those who use cylinders and pots, those who spring cotton, those who sharpen scissors and knives, and those who repair bicycles...

  Various self-employed businesses abound. Seeing these people, Han Mingxiu and Niuniu are not afraid that someone will say that they are speculative.

  The two pushed the tricycle to a family area near the turret. The family area was very large and looked very impressive. There were a lot of people coming in and out, and they should have a certain spending power.

  Han Mingxiu decided to sell it here after a round of inspection. He stopped the car, untied the silk bag, poured the crab on the tricycle, and began to shout.

  "Crabs, the hairy crabs that have just been smashed out, one piece is 21 kilograms, come and buy if you want to eat..."

  Don't tell me, she really yelled someone.

  An aunt with a shaved scarf on her head is carrying a basket and preparing to go to the market to buy groceries! Hearing Han Mingxiu yelling to sell crabs, he hurried to the tricycle.

  "Do you sell crabs? Is this crab really just dead?"

  As the aunt asked, she couldn't wait to get started. Pick up a crab from the tricycle and place it under your eyelids to see if the crab is really just dead.

  Han Mingxiu said: "It's really just dead. If you don't believe me, I'll break it open for you..."

  As she said, with a hard hand, she broke a crab apart.

  Sure enough, the crab meat is still very fresh.

Aunt    looked at it and asked happily: "How much is a catty?"

  Han Mingxiu said: "It's not expensive, one piece is two jin, and a net bag is given for buying more than two jin."

  Auntie hesitated a bit when she heard the price of a piece of 21 kilograms, and said: "Look at you, this crab is quite fresh, but it's a bit expensive. Can it be cheaper?"

Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "Auntie, it can't be cheaper anymore. We also have the money to follow, but since you are our first customer, we promise to pick you up high. In addition, No matter how many crabs you buy, a net bag will be given to you without any disadvantages."

  Auntie looked at the tempting crabs, and she hesitated. She wanted to buy a few of them to go back to greedy, but she was a little bit reluctant to pay, but she couldn't hold back in the end. He gritted his teeth and said, "Well, weigh me a catty. I will go back to boil sauerkraut. My grandson loves crab boiled sauerkraut soup."

   "Okay!"

  As soon as the sale was completed, Han Mingxiu quickly agreed, and hurriedly took out a net bag to help her aunt install crabs.

  The aunt doesn’t seem to believe in Han Mingxiu, so she grabbed the net bag and said hurriedly: “I’ll pick it myself, I don’t need you.”

  Han Mingxiu kindly fell into a donkey liver and lungs, shrugged her shoulders because of grievance, and simply stopped and let her pick it herself.

  The aunt took the crabs, carefully observed and compared them one by one, and finally picked out four fist-sized female crabs and put them in the net bag for Han Mingxiu to say.

  Weighed on, it was more than one catty and two taels. Han Mingxiu counted her a catty and two taels, and charged her a quarter of a quarter.

  The aunt was still a bit dissatisfied, and wanted to wipe out four cents, but Han Mingxiu did not agree.

  The people in this family area are all familiar with each other. If this aunt makes a price and lets people know that she is so good, she will come to bargain with her, then do she still have to do this business?

  The aunt lingered for a while, but Han Mingxiu refused to let it go. Auntie couldn't help but had to pay the money and left with the crab.

"Look, you have made money!" Han Mingxiu raised the fifty cents (six cents of which was found in her own pocket) and stuffed it into Niuniu's hands, "Come on, keep it."

  Niu Niu hurriedly pushed the money back and said, "Auntie, you should keep it, and I will help you with work by the side."

  Han Mingxiu said: "How can it be done? You are the owner of this stall. I am only here to help. How can I seize your financial power!"

Niuniu said: "You borrowed the tricycle and the scale for me, and you brought the crab on credit for me. You even prepared the money for the customer's change in advance, so I had someone else out there. I'm so embarrassed. How about collecting money? You should collect the money."

  Han Mingxiu saw that Niuniu was not greedy at all, and that she could understand everything, she was very satisfied, and put the fifty cents into her hand again, and said.

"Silly girl, I will help you this day. I won't come tomorrow. You don't practice how to collect money and find money while I'm here. When I'm away tomorrow, you will sell goods and manage the money. , Can you understand it?"

  Niu Niu held the crumpled piece of fifty cents, excited and excited in her heart.

  This is the first pot of gold in her life. It has an epoch-making significance. It is impossible to be excited if it is not!

  Han Mingxiu looked at the child's excitement and excitement, and he was very happy.

Niuniu is a very good child, better than the little girls of the eldest sister, and the child is kind-hearted, and treats the eldest sister as filial piety as her own mother. Just here, she also has to treat this niece well. I am also willing to help her as much as possible within my abilities.

   "Crabs, the big crabs that have just been beaten out, come and buy them, they won't be there when they are late..." Han Mingxiu yelled again.

  Now, Niuniu also helped her shy and timid heart, and yelled along with her, "Come and see every time you pass by, there will be no shop after you pass this village..."

  Amid the shouts of two people, several more people came over to buy crabs.

  However, those who came out to buy crabs at this time were mostly middle-aged and elderly housewives. People of this age group have a common characteristic, that is, they love bargaining and are willing to take advantage of them.

  Although the price of one and two cents was not negotiable, these savvy aunts and grandmothers still tried every means to find a cheaper price.

  For example, if the weighing rod must be highly demanded, he would obviously buy two crabs, but he had to ask for a net bag...

  Han Mingxiu is good at eloquence and has rich social experience, so she dealt with these aunts and aunts while doing business, while Niuniu carefully observed her aunt’s business routines. Learn from experience, accumulate lessons, and lay the foundation for yourself to do business alone in the future.

  Niu Niu also found that, as my aunt said, people in the capital are indeed richer than people in their hometown. These big crabs, which cost more than a dollar and a catty, probably didn't have anything they were willing to eat, but the people in this capital bought them one by one.

  Although I didn’t buy much, I bought five or six at most. Most customers just buy one or two and go back to make soup. However, even if it is one or two, it costs five or six cents. If they were in their village, they would definitely be reluctant to buy it.

  It seems that the rich are still making money!

  Their business is very good. They sold it intermittently from the morning to more than three o'clock in the afternoon. One hundred catties of crabs sold more than half, and at most, there were only more than twenty catties.

  Han Mingxiu felt that basically all the crabs in this community were bought, so he took Niuniu to move to another community.

  On the way to another community, when passing by Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop, Han Mingxiu asked Niuniu to wait for her outside. She went in and bought six steamed steamed buns, three meat and three vegetarian, and shared them with Niuniu on the road.

  The two ate in turn. When Han Mingxiu was pushing the cart, Niuniu ate buns. When Niuniu finished eating, she changed her cart and let Han Mingxiu come to eat.

   When the two of them had finished their buns, they rushed to a family area next to the kindergarten.

I came here because it was time for Han Mingxiu to pick up the children. She will pick up the children by herself today. In addition, this family area is next to the kindergarten. They sell it here. Not only can they be sold to family members in the family area, but also to the family members. The parents who came to the kindergarten to pick up their children.

   "Niu Niu, you can try to sell it here for a while, I will pick up the girl, and I will come back after picking her up later." Han Mingxiu told Niuniu, and hurried to pick up the girl.

   More than ten minutes later, Han Mingxiu hurriedly left the kindergarten with her young girl. When the two of them walked to Niuniu’s childhood, Mei Niuniu’s tricycle was empty and there was no crab.

"Auntie, a lady just rounded up all our crabs. She said it was her wife who is celebrating her birthday tomorrow. She wants to entertain guests with this crab!" As soon as she saw Han Mingxiu, she reported to her with excitement. good news.

  Han Mingxiu said, "Then the relationship is better, now, all of our crabs of 100 catties have been sold, Niuniu, you have earned it this time!"

  Niu Niu happily said, "Auntie, we made it. You take me for a day. The money you make should belong to both of us, not mine."
