I am reborn as a fashionista

Chapter 29 'Survival Mode'

One side of the paper shell torn from the fruit box, black marker pen, written words.

Today's specials.

A few things, although they are the worst in quality, but the price is completely losing money. He dared to sell the potatoes for [-] cents, and he only made a little money for a catty of potatoes. What's the point of selling those?

In the past two or three months, Zhou Xinglian has gotten used to her son being in charge of many things. Although she is full of dissatisfaction at the moment, she still doesn't tear down her son's position face to face.

This kid always makes his own decisions, and he won't sleep tomorrow, otherwise he might make something wrong.

In the morning, some old people in the neighborhood come out for a walk and chat. Although most of them here are double-employees or teaching staff in public institutions, the old people here are not necessarily retired. Many of them are those who The elderly in the family of big customers, these people are used to thrift, even if their children tell them that when you buy vegetables, they will choose them for the purpose of saving money. Consider scope.

Wei Tao brought out the concept of "daily specials" in advance to let the nearby people know more. There is a store here, selling fruits and vegetables. There are many rare things that you can't usually see, and there are also very low prices. specials.

Worried about buying a bad one?

Don’t worry, such a big store is here. If you don’t like it when you go home, you can go downstairs with your bag and ask them to return it. If you don’t believe them, they dare not return it. The combat effectiveness of the elderly cannot be underestimated, and there may be no physical damage. , but the magic damage that makes your reputation all over the place is even more powerful.

Shops and vendors who push their carts away at any time are completely two concepts, and the amount of "confident" they produce is also completely different.

At noon, Zhou Xinglian cooked two dishes and stuffed a pot of rice. Guan Jinyue came and took the initiative to clean up the dishes after eating. She didn't rest for the rest of the lunch break, but helped tidy up in the store. According to Wei Tao's pattern, Let the real good quality of fruits and vegetables face all customers.

Wei Tao left on a three-wheeled motorcycle. First, according to the introduction to the farmer in the village with Guan Jinyue, he went to the sister's house of the farmer in the neighboring village, and collected some small vegetables grown by himself.The cucumbers and tomatoes may not look as good as the wholesale ones in the market, but in terms of taste, there was nothing left of those side dishes last night, and they were not the freshest that day.

"Brother Cai, it's not the time yet. Why is someone killing pigs?"

After lighting a cigarette for the farmer, he stood at the gate of his house and chatted. Wei Tao pointed to the scene of slaughtering pigs at the gate of a family on the slope, and asked thoughtfully.

"Their family raises pigs. My son heard that he opened a restaurant in the city. The pork is all for his own use. I heard that the pork in the restaurant is not sure what it is. The pork supports the restaurant's business. good."

Wei Tao swallowed his saliva: "Brother Cai, does their pig takeaway?"

Brother Cai, a farmer, took a look at him: "Hehe, young man, they don't sell it. If they sell it, some places will collect it. Although their family has a lot, it's not enough for themselves."

It’s a pity, but it’s not that urgent. It’s not a daily necessity to buy meat at every household. Sometimes you can buy something that can eat several meals. If you have a refrigerator at home, the frequency of selling meat is much lower than that of fruits and vegetables. The conditions are not met to put another chopping board to sell some meat.

Riding a three-wheeled motorcycle, I walked along the river to the northern part of the city, and went to the urban-rural fringe area. There are mostly heavy industrial factory buildings and farmers here. I went to the market, and there are also some selling wild vegetables. The price is of course higher than Guan Jinyue's. It's expensive, but it's not so expensive. It's not as clean as Guan Jinyue's, and it's not very easy to sell. This area is full of factory workers with relatively ordinary incomes. They can't talk about health and green food. There is not much interest in things. Someone gives it away for free, and it’s okay to taste it once in a while. Spend money and stop making trouble.

When Wei Tao came back, the telephone line was installed and the phone was connected. His mother also pasted the phone number sticker he had made before on the glass door for everyone to watch and remember.

The business at night is obviously much worse than yesterday’s rainy day. Some of the buybacks are mostly for wild vegetables and farm vegetables, and some are for rare fruits.

Wei Tao took a small bench and sat at the door, breaded a piece of Kang leather on a wooden board that had been nailed before, and used bricks to cushion it.

A large fruit knife in his hand, a clean chopping board, first a watermelon, which was cut in the way of KTV fruit plates in later generations, and diamond-shaped watermelon pieces were put into some disposable lunch boxes wholesaled by him in the market, a small box A small box was packed, placed on a wooden board, and a cantaloupe and a cantaloupe were cut.

Use the glass cover bought by the workers who installed the glass door to prevent dust from falling on the cover.

Simply three glass edge scraps, glued together to form a glass cover.

Freshly cut and good-looking fruits, clean and tidy wooden kang leather, and the psychological hint brought by the glass cover that this thing is clean and dust-free, making some people passing by after get off work stop and ask: "How do you sell this watermelon? "

"One dollar for a small box."

"Where's the melon?"

"A piece of five."

Is it expensive? It’s a bit more expensive than buying it yourself, but they will cut it for you. If you buy too much, the family will not be able to eat less. It’s good to buy a little bit and eat fresh every day.

"Bring me a box."

Adults buy less, and this thing is very attractive to children.

After elementary school, Wei Tao didn't go to the street corner to snatch customers. He didn't think it was necessary. The residents here could eat all the food, which was enough to keep him fed.

Sure enough, some grandparents, parents, and mothers went to pick up their children, or senior students went home by themselves, and saw the fragrance and sweetness of the fruit, and the scattered price of one piece or two. There are not many things, but you let a primary school student buy half of them all at once. A piece of watermelon, this matter has nothing to do with him.

And the current model has something to do with him. This is a snack, and the dosage is moderate, and the consumption is acceptable for their pocket money.

It is even easier for children who have parents to pick them up. Holding the hands of grandparents and shouting that I want to eat, Wei Tao has already handed over a box with a smile.

During this period of time, he kept himself wearing a clean T-shirt, washed his hands clean, sat there first of all, and would not be suspected of being hygienic. He continued to cut fruits and put them into boxes one by one.

Some old people want to tell their children that the things outside are dirty, but they can’t say it at this time. Besides, after school, the child is thirsty. This is not a snack. I bought it for my child without much resistance.

Some children stood aside and ate. They were very interested in seeing Wei Tao’s way of cutting fruit. They thought it was very handsome and fun. When the old people saw the vegetables and fruits that looked fresh under the light inside, they took a look and ten of them stayed. One, they are all successful, and one out of ten buys something, and the shops are more attractive than the stalls.

There are not so many private cars, children run and play casually on the road, and there are plenty of open spaces in front of the shops.

Some people reading books on small benches in the nearby book rental shop smelled the sweet smell of watermelon floating in the air. They were tired after reading for a long time. They rested their eyes and their throats were dry. They went out to buy a box to eat. Buying an ice cream and a bottle of drink is much more affordable.

After school in middle and high schools, there are nearly [-] buildings in the gourd-shaped area, nearly a thousand households, and there are many children in middle and high schools. Wei Tao's second wave of knife skills demonstration was placed in this time period.

Quiet environment, here in middle school and high school, this small road will be more lively at night, ignorant in love, boys and girls, strolling under the moon, you send me home, the two of us will be alone for a while.Or there are groups of three or four, some unwilling to learn, come to return the leased martial arts novels and science fiction novels, and Wei Tao's "snacks" sold in boxes are very popular.

That is to say, there are no Internet cafes and game halls nearby. Think about the residential groups in this small street, but anyone who has investigated it will not open a similar business here.

The students didn't dare to come either. On the way home, the teacher didn't have to deliberately grab them, just grab a bunch of them.

If there is, Wei Tao's business will be better.

Inside the house, Zhou Xinglian already felt the value of repeat customers.

"The wild vegetables are fresh today, let's weigh them." This is directly for things.

"The cucumber looks crooked. It's grown by the farmer. It's delicious to eat." A colleague brought a colleague on the same journey after get off work, and introduced this small shop, where you can eat some things that most vendors don't have.

"Today's tomatoes are a bit thick-skinned, um, don't eat them 'empty', they can be mixed with sugar for cooking." Zhou Xinglian followed her son's request, and told the truth to customers about the vegetables and fruits she sold. For example, today's oranges are sweet and sour. If you like pure sweetness, don't buy it. For example, today's melon noodles are sweet instead of crispy, let me know one by one.

Occasionally, some children from the family come over at night to buy bundles of onions, two pieces of ginger and a few heads of garlic. It is the adults who cook at home who find the lack of ingredients. In the past, they almost deal with it. There are also vendors at the street corner. Those who cook late can only deal with it. Now there is no need for it, and it is easy to find.

Farm food is not very attractive to people in the dry rest center. Almost every family has a small garden, and it is enough to grow some small vegetables for self-eating.

The canteen of the barracks would not come to him to buy vegetables. Every day, soldiers would go to the wholesale market for wholesale. Only wild vegetables can be used for business in the rest camp.

There are also some good fruit businesses. The cadre rest houses are full of old people. The cadres of the retired army have high pensions. Most of them will help take care of their children. There are elementary and middle schools nearby, such as Cao Xiyu, who arrive at grandparents at noon Eat at home, and sleep directly here for several days in a week, it is close and convenient.

The old people have a little green and healthy concept of food requirements at the beginning. The children are different, and the family conditions are good. Fruits are a must. There is a good shop a few meters away from the back door. I ate there that night. During the dinner time, several old couples came out of the corner door. They were clean and elegant. They came to pick some fruits. The price will be considered and bargained, but for the really high-priced fruits, they will buy them if they are fancy. Will not give up buying because of the price.

'Fresh Time' Guoshu supermarket, according to Wei Tao's established thinking, began to gain a foothold step by step. With the arrival of autumn and winter, the mother and son repaid the 3000 yuan from the fourth aunt's house, and Zhou Xinglian also officially gave up going to the early morning. The plan of the market stall...
