Rebirth started in 1987

Chapter 11 Impulse Consumption
Ye Huai'an was full of confidence, taking advantage of the fact that no customers came to the door, he quickly took out the plastic bag and started to get the second uncle busy.

He asked the second uncle to fill each bag with about three catties of navel oranges, and weighed all of them first and put them aside.

The second uncle was a little puzzled, and started bagging before anyone came to ask?

Although Zhang Lijun was a little confused and couldn't figure out what his nephew wanted to do, he could only follow Ye Huai'an's urging.

One of them bagged and the other weighed. After working for a while, they quickly finished twenty or thirty bags of three catties of navel oranges, which were very conspicuous piled aside.

However, seeing that citizens started to go in to buy vegetables one after another in the vegetable market, and no one from his side came to inquire, Zhang Lijun's movements suddenly slowed down, and his heart became more and more unconfident.

From time to time, he caught sight of Ye Huai'an who was still seriously packing the bags. Seeing that he had packed a few more bags, he finally couldn't help it, so he asked a little nervously.

"Huai'an, I think we should sell it cheaper! Is it too expensive for one yuan and three catties?"

Ye Huai'an gave him a blank look, and said angrily.

"Second uncle, if you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you can rest easy and say it. I will handle the shouting. It's still early. Let's decorate it first, and I will definitely be too busy later!"

Zhang Lijun's heart was agitated by Ye Huai'an's confident words, and his eyes couldn't help scanning the pedestrians passing by.

The two filled another seven or eight bags. At this time, the sky was completely lit up, and the traffic around them also increased. Citizens passing by the tractor occasionally looked this way.

But maybe many people are rushing to the vegetable market early to pick fresh ingredients, but no one really stopped to ask.

Ye Huai'an was not in a hurry, and continued to pack bags without haste. Seeing that there were nearly fifty bags beside him, an old lady finally walked out of the vegetable market.

Aunt looked like a shrewd person, dressed like a typical old lady in the city, wearing black clothes and black trousers, carrying a vegetable basket, which looked heavy, and a whole butchered rooster was seen on the top.

The aunt approached the tractor, looked left and right, looking strange.

Ye Huai'an looked down at the bag that had already been packed, and seeing that it was almost ready, he clapped his hands, thinking that it was almost ready for business.

He took out a fruit knife from the satchel on his shoulder, picked up a navel orange very familiarly, and shouted at the aunt who was still looking at it.

"Auntie, these navel oranges are big and round. They were born by one father and one mother, and the fruits on each branch are all the same round. Come here, take a look, why don't you taste it?
You always taste it for free, it’s not sweet and you don’t need money. The navel oranges of our stone mountain are not blown by me. Thousands of mountains and rivers belong to our navel oranges of this stone mountain. Navel orange, even Wuzhishan can't hold it down! "

Ye Huai'an spoke non-stop, chirping and yelling a lot, Zhang Lijun was dumbfounded, how can he brag like this?

These self-proclaimed words attracted a lot of passers-by, and the aunt who was still looking at her strangely, when she heard that she could taste it for free, the wrinkles on her face stretched out with a smile, and she took Ye Huai'an and cut a piece of navel orange, without even putting it down in the basket , directly into the mouth.

In this cold weather, taking this bite is like eating rock candy, so sweet that the aunt's heartbeat slowed down a bit, she bit her mouth, nodded and praised with still more interest.

"Young man, the taste is not bad, come on, let me try again, this taste is not bad!"

As the aunt said, she still wanted to continue asking for it.

Ye Huai'an smiled and cut another small piece for her, and then strode towards the other two pedestrians who stopped beside him, without stopping the movements of his hands and mouth, he quickly cut off a few pieces , while yelling for free tasting, while passing it to pedestrians.

In fact, doing this kind of street business is nothing more than a bustle. As long as the bustle comes up, whether you can sell it or not depends purely on your lip service.

Ye Huai'an's life experience over the past few decades, and the low-level morals, he has already figured out clearly.

In a small business, especially in the fruit business, few people can refuse to taste for free, let alone the 80s when the supplies are not so abundant.

An orange was divided into five or six parts by Ye Huai'an and sent out. In just over a minute, seven or eight pedestrians around stopped.

"If you want to buy it, you have to taste it. Hurry up. Don't miss the good opportunity. Opportunities don't come every day. The sweet navel oranges from the stone mountain are so sweet to your heart. Auntie, come and taste it! Free tasting!"

This is naturally the constant yelling in his mouth, coupled with the infinite magic of free tasting.

Ye Huai'an didn't stop talking, and picked up a navel orange again with his hands still nimbly, continuing to carry out the free tasting activity.

Before the delivery of the second navel orange was finished, some pedestrians had already stepped forward to the tractor and began to pick it.

The aunt tasted two, and finally made up her mind, and the second one joined in the selection, but seeing the aunt picking the big ones deftly, Ye Huai'an quickly shouted.

"Auntie, one yuan and three catties are packaged, and you can't pick them. If you pick them individually, you'll get fifty cents a catty!"

As soon as Ye Huai'an said this, the movements of the aunt's hands suddenly stopped, but soon returned to normal, but she was yelling.

"What are you talking about, young man? The signboard for one yuan and three catties is well written. What's wrong with me picking a few good ones? I even helped you open the business. You have to thank me!"

As the aunt said, she pulled a few more big ones into the bag, and in a blink of an eye, the bag was already half full.

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Ye Huai'an's mouth, but soon a wry smile appeared on his face, and he still did not forget to complain to the aunt.

"Auntie, my big car costs twenty-eight cents from a farmer. I sell it for thirty-three cents, and I earn five cents a catty. I really can't earn anything except gas money. Hey, forget it. , Forget it, this is the first time I’m doing business, and I don’t know the market, so sell it early and go home for the New Year, Auntie, if you think my navel oranges are sweet, please help call some neighbors and relatives to come and buy them!”

When the aunt heard Ye Huai'an's words, she immediately felt that she had achieved a lot, and a flush of taking advantage appeared on her face, she quickly agreed, but her hands kept moving, she only picked the big ones.

When other pedestrians around heard Ye Huai'an's words, they picked up their bags and joined the picking army without saying a word.

Zhang Lijun looked dumbfounded!

Can this business still do this?

Isn't this a lie?

Why are these people so happy when they were cheated?

Zhang Lijun was still skeptical about his life, his aunt had already picked out a bag full of them, and she was yelling for scale, Ye Huai'an hurriedly woke up his second uncle who was still skeptical about his life.

Zhang Lijun quickly took out the scale and began to weigh it for the aunt. The aunt's eyes were burning, staring at the scale on the scale, until the weight jumped high, and the aunt looked back with satisfaction.

The second uncle yelled.

"Twelve catties and three taels, four or ten cents!"

The aunt didn't expect that this bag weighed more than twelve catties, and it would cost four or ten cents. Her eyes obviously hesitated. This impulsive consumption obviously exceeded the aunt's psychological value.

But Ye Huai'an next to him had already seen the scene, and at the moment when the aunt's eyes hesitated, he hurriedly shouted.

"Auntie, it's four yuan and ten cents. I'll charge you four yuan. You can't buy our navel oranges in other places. It's Chinese New Year, and the children don't have much fruit to eat. Such a sweet fruit, you can eat it here." Come back, it will be hard to eat next time!"

After hearing Ye Huai'an's words, the aunt's hesitant eyes finally became determined, and she took out four dollars one by one from the purse wrapped in cloth.

Ye Huai'an accepted the four yuan from the aunt with a smile on his face, picked up two smaller navel oranges from the side, and stuffed them into her bag in front of the aunt.

Seeing this scene, the aunt finally showed a satisfied smile, carrying a vegetable basket and a bag full of navel oranges, and left the vegetable market with some difficulty!

Looking at the aunt's struggling back, Ye Huai'an finally showed a genuinely happy smile for the first time!
Just thinking about it, the second uncle's voice came to mind again.

"Eight and a half catties, two yuan and eight cents together!"
