Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 36: Twist, a novel promotion method
The bamboo chopsticks in the honey sink very slowly!

After nearly half a minute, only a small part of the chopstick tip was sunk in.

The whole chopstick is still standing "strongly".

Seeing this scene, everyone finally understood what Fang Hongan meant.

He used this bamboo chopstick to prove that the viscosity of this jar of honey was very high!

Since the viscosity of spring honey will be affected when it is mixed with water honey, the viscosity of this jar of honey is very high.

That would naturally prove that this jar of honey is not mixed with water honey!

Of course, there were also people who still had a questioning look on their faces.

Before these people could question him, Fang Hongan said, "Of course! If you think it's not enough, I have another better and more direct way to prove it!"

After saying this, Fang Hongan took out a long-handled wooden spoon and scooped some honey from the jar under everyone's attention. He said to the crowd, "You can taste it for yourself to see if our honey is sweet and delicious! I guarantee that my hundred-flower honey is definitely better than any honey you have tasted before!"

As soon as the highly inflammatory voice fell, someone immediately stretched out his hand excitedly. Fang Hongan took out the bamboo chopsticks, dipped a little honey from the wooden spoon and scraped it on the man's fingers. The man couldn't wait to put his fingers into his mouth.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he squinted his eyes and nodded vigorously with an intoxicated look on his face: "Sweet! Delicious!"

His reaction did not sound fake at all and immediately infected the people around him.

Swish, swish, swish, hands stretched in with all their might.

"Give me some, I want to try it too!"

"Me too!"

"And I……"

……

On the other hand, Wang Tong looked at the rush of people in front of him.

His eyes were blank again.

The situation seems... to have completely reversed!
He couldn't help but cast a look of worship towards Fang Hongan, and then quickly took a wooden chopstick and helped Fang Hongan dip it in honey and give it to the people who reached out for it to taste.

"Not bad!"

“It’s delicious!”

"This taste shouldn't be honey!"

The sounds of satisfaction soon came one after another.

Under such circumstances, Fang Hongan didn't even need to say anything, as many people had already spontaneously denied Shui Mi's statement.

Some people have already rushed to ask: "How much is it? How much is it per pound?"

"Yes! It tastes really sweet. If the price is right, I'll buy a pound!"

After two or three voices, some people who were originally hesitant also joined in.

These people chose to echo each other. On the one hand, they had tasted the food and thought it was delicious and wanted to buy it. Another more important reason was that they wanted to speak out together so that they could bargain together later.

Fang Hongan didn't answer immediately. He waited for a while before waving his hand and saying loudly, "My fellow villagers, to be honest, we originally wanted to sell it at two yuan and a dime per pound, but since everyone is so supportive, we will give you a dime and sell it at two yuan per pound. We will not cheat anyone and guarantee that it will be full!"

"Two dollars a pound?"

"It's so expensive! The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town sells it for less than two yuan!"

“The price is a bit high!”

……

As Fang Hongan expected, those who had been so excited and clamoring to buy people just now suddenly changed their expressions to frowning and looking disgusted.

Fang Hongan was unmoved and just smiled and responded: "Fellow villagers, I also know the price at the supply and marketing cooperative. It is 1.95 yuan per catty, which is indeed 5 cents cheaper per catty, but if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it, you still need to get a sugar ticket! For us mountain people to buy it, we have to spend at least 30 cents to buy the sugar ticket! Added together, it is equivalent to almost 2.30 yuan per catty!

Besides, if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it, you have to run another twenty miles, which is not as convenient as my place!
Don’t think it’s easy for us just because we carry a lot of honey. My brother and I risked our lives to harvest the honey. If it weren’t for the poor harvest last year and the lack of food at home, who would want to mess with those stinging creatures?

Seeing that the atmosphere was set, Fang Hongan added some spice without blushing: "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by everyone. After we dug all the honey, we stayed at home for five full days before going out!" "???" Everyone's curiosity was aroused.

You haven't gone out for five days and you're so tired?
Not so!

While he was curiously guessing, Fang Hongan pouted and shook his head miserably and helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to go out, it's really because my whole face has been nailed into a pig's head, and I'm afraid of scaring people when I go out!"

"Pfft!"

Everyone was amused by this vivid answer.

No one questioned the authenticity.

In everyone's perception, if you dig out a beehive, you will get stung, and your body will swell up. It is very realistic to say that it will swell up like a pig's head. As for scaring people, that is also very possible.

After this joke, the bargaining atmosphere eased. Even the onlookers did not realize that, without any sound or action, they had already involuntarily accepted in their hearts the fact that the honey was hard-earned and that Fang Hongan and the others had a very difficult and miserable life.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Fang Hongan added the final push: "But... everyone is so supportive today! We two brothers can't be unkind! This is our first time setting up a stall, so let's take it as a good omen, and also as a way to thank all the elders and fellow villagers for their kindness. We decided... to reduce the price by another 5 cents, and sell it to everyone at 1.95 yuan per pound. First come, first served. Anyone who needs it can buy it. When we come next time, it won't be this price!"

As he spoke, Fang Hongan took Wang Tong and bowed respectfully to everyone.

As soon as these inflammatory words were spoken, the crowd immediately became agitated.

The price of 1.95 yuan per pound is exactly the same as that of the supply and marketing cooperative.

This is an attractive price for them who don’t have sugar coupons.

Soon, a square-faced man carrying a bamboo basket stood up. He readily took out a few banknotes, counted them, and handed them to Fang Hongan: "Give me a pound!"

"Good Le!"

Fang Hongan nodded, took the money and asked him again: "Do you have a bottle of honey?"

"No!" The square-faced man glared at Fang Hongan. "We didn't know in advance that there was honey for sale here when we came to the market. Who would bring bottles and jars?"

"Yeah!"

Many people followed suit: "Don't you prepare the honey in advance when you sell it?"

"This..." Fang Hongan pretended to be embarrassed, and pretended to wipe his sweat, then said to everyone, "Wait for me."

He hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and ran into the fat aunt's store.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at this inexplicable scene.

After staring at the store for a long time, Fang Hongan ran out again and walked straight to the square-faced man: "I'm sorry! This is the first time for us two brothers to set up a stall. We don't have enough experience! We didn't prepare bottles and jars for everyone to put honey in!"

"How about this? The person who opened the shop behind this happens to be a distant relative of mine. I just went to negotiate with him. If you are willing to add another five cents, I will not only provide you with a free fruit canning bottle from the Eighth Factory to store honey, but you can also go to the store to get another canning bottle for free!"

"Five cents for a free can of honey, and another one in the store?"

As soon as Fang Hongan said this, the scene was once again in an uproar.

　Everyone criticizes it as a bit watery!
　　I looked back and realized that the handling was indeed a bit long-winded!

　　But I really didn’t mean to stir up conflict. This episode must have a subsequent purpose!

　　I can only say that the author lacks writing skills and the writing is not good enough!

　　I beg everyone to be more patient!
　　That’s all. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you again!

　　By the way, for the convenience of everyone reading, I decided to update two chapters at 8 o'clock from now on!

　　I would like to add more chapters, but they have to be recommended. It’s already 8 words and not even one has been recommended. It’s miserable!

　　Promise: Once it’s on the shelves, I’ll update it with at least 10,000 words for a month!
