Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 37: Buying craze!

The fruit cans produced by Factory No. 8 are quite popular at the market.

Many people have bought it.

The price is generally around seven cents each.

Occasionally, if you come across someone who will bargain, you can get it down to six cents a piece.

But now, as long as you add another five cents, you will not only get a jar of honey, but you can also get another one when you go in.

Isn't this just like buying two for five cents?
At this point, not only did the square-faced man happily throw out five cents, but those in the crowd who were already tempted also immediately took out money and clamored to buy honey.

As a result, many people who had previously been on the sidelines began to become interested.

The scene immediately became heated.

After the square-faced man paid the money, the fat lady who followed him immediately brought in a plate of transparent glass jars and handed it to Fang Hongan.

She was also quite good at handling things. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone. These cans are all genuine canning bottles from Factory 8. They have been washed and boiled in hot water. They are guaranteed to be clean, hygienic, and free of disease and poison!"

"As long as you buy honey! The honey is already beaten here, just bring the honey into the store and pick any jar you like!"

"If you want to buy other things, you can also take a look. We guarantee the lowest price for everyone!"

"Good! Good!"

As soon as she finished her inspiring words, there was an immediate burst of excited responses from the audience.

Fang Hongan blinked at the fat aunt to show his approval.

The latter immediately smiled back.

Earlier, when her husband was telling her about this strange way of cooperation.

She was still somewhat weird and couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, seeing this scene, I am not only full of admiration for this young man in front of me, but also feel very fortunate.

Fortunately, I agreed to this business!
Seeing that many people in the crowd were already in a commotion, Fang Hongan quickly picked up a canning bottle, first weighed the bottle and showed it to the square-faced man, then he opened the lid and began to beat the honey with a wooden spoon.

When it’s almost full, weigh it again.

After confirming that it was heavy enough, he sealed it and handed it to the first buyer.

As soon as the square-faced man left, the people behind him immediately swarmed over.

"I'll take a pound too!"

"I want two kilograms..."

After the first order was placed, it was like a floodgate that had been opened, and subsequent people continued to come in.

Most of them are one kilogram, and a few buy two kilograms.

Soon, the first jar of honey was empty.

Wang Tong grinned and quickly opened the second jar of honey.

Don’t be fooled by the large number of people rushing to grab the items. In fact, compared with the large crowd of onlookers at the scene, they are still only a minority.

After all, most of the people who go to the market in the mountains are mainly here to purchase daily necessities.

Although many people are tempted, the price of two yuan per bottle still makes it difficult for them to make up their minds.

But the wonderful thing about business rules is that the more lively a place is, the more attractive it is.

Seeing that the place was packed with people, Fang Hongan didn't even need to shout, people were attracted here in an endless stream.

Those who came to watch the fun seemed to be addicted to it, and many of them were reluctant to leave.

Gradually, some people who were undecided finally made up their minds after seeing jars of honey being opened one after another and those who bought honey happily going into the back of the shop to get a can.

They squeezed together and joined the rush to buy.

Even Fang Hongan did not expect such popularity.

I am so busy that I am like a clockwork.

Fortunately, the honey at one dollar and ninety-five cents per pound plus the five cents for the canning jar totaled exactly two dollars.

This is exactly the amount of money most people take out, which saves the trouble of making change.

Furthermore, although this canning bottle has no scale, after several experiments, Fang Hongan found that the honey weighed exactly one kilogram when it reached the neck line of the bottle.

In this way, Fang Hongan can basically control the amount of honey each time.

Basically, you just need to weigh it once, instead of doing what some people do, weighing a pound of something, adding and subtracting, which not only takes a lot of effort, but also makes people feel particularly stingy.

Not only did Fang Hongan get it right the first time, but every time he weighed, the scale bar was tilted high. This not only won the favor of many people in the room, but also strengthened the minds of those who were queuing up to buy.

that's it……

The heated atmosphere lasted for more than an hour.

Feeling that the sun above their heads was becoming increasingly scorching, the onlookers gradually dispersed.

The market in Qianmaping doesn't close early, but it usually lasts until 11 o'clock at most.

Right now, it's past ten o'clock.

Many people who had sold their goods had already packed up their stalls and left the market.

After all, people come to the market to buy things, not just to watch the fun, right? The onlookers gradually left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

The scene gradually became deserted.

But Fang Hongan and Wang Tong in the field looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.

In this wave, the first basket of three jars, weighing 90 kilograms of honey, was sold out.

The first jar in the second basket was also empty.

In other words, more than 100 kilograms have been sold in just a few hours.

Wang Tong glanced at the bulging cloth bag on Fang Hongan’s chest, his mouth wide open and unable to close.

"Brother! Pack up and go to the purchasing station?"

"Or... just take it back and come back next time?"

When he came, Fang Hongan had already discussed it with him.

Retailers just try to sell as much as they can. When they sell to the market, the rest will be sold to the purchasing station.

After all, there were 180 kilograms of honey, and they didn't expect to sell it all at this market. In fact, they initially planned to sell about 30 kilograms. The more money they could make, the better.

But what Wang Tong didn't expect was that he sold more than 100 kilograms at once.

Moreover, this price is much higher than the purchase price.

While Wang Tong was delighted, he no longer wanted to sell it to the purchasing station.

Anyway, there is a market every three days, so I can just sell it when the time comes.

Fang Hongan listened to his words, but did not rush to draw conclusions. He said calmly: "Don't worry, you can still sell some more!"

“Can you sell more?”

Wang Tong found it a little unbelievable.

In his opinion, most of the people who were shopping in the market had already left.

Who else can I sell this to?
Fang Hongan smiled and pointed at the people in the market who were packing up their stalls and preparing to leave.

These people are mainly sellers who come to the market.

Although the goods have not been sold out yet, the market has almost been cleared.

All I could do was pack up my stall and prepare to leave.

Wang Tong's eyes lit up and he instantly understood what Fang Hongan meant.

These people are sellers, but they can also become buyers!

I had some money in my pocket after selling the things, so it made sense for me to bring back a jar of honey.

Thinking of this, Wang Tong quickly cheered himself up and shouted loudly, imitating Fang Hongan's previous shouting.
