Make a fortune by selling vegetables

Early on Sunday morning, Yan Jianjun rode to a distant market to buy vegetables. Gu Liping rolled up her sleeves and geared up, preparing to cook a sumptuous table of dishes.

 After several months of practice (which is weird), Yan Duo's cooking skills have been initially recognized by the whole family. Usually, she would often help her parents cook, but today Yan Duo was not allowed to enter the kitchen.

 My mother said that birthday girls don't have to work, so just go do your homework if you have nothing to do.

 But the homework was finished yesterday, so Yan Duo had no choice but to go back to play games in despair, and then harvested a new crop of vegetables-white radish in the vegetable field.

 Currently, there are four kinds of vegetable grains in Yan Duo's locker: tomatoes, corns, cucumbers, and daikon radish. Tomatoes are the most numerous, with more than a hundred of them already piled up. There are dozens of corns, cucumbers, and daikon radishes each, including corn. , Yan Duo usually eats them as snacks.

 Fortunately, the same items in the locker can be stacked, otherwise this shabby little wooden cabinet would have exploded long ago.

 Because corn needs to be cooked before it can be eaten, and boiled corn cannot be put back into the locker, Yan Duo only ate it twice when her parents were not at home.

 The taste is truly unforgettable.

 Although tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes are all delicious, Yan Duo's favorite is corn. The uncooked corn is already fragrant. After cooking, the aroma can fill the whole room, and the sweet taste makes people want to stop.

 Thinking of this, Yan Duo almost drooled, so he simply took out some corn and tomatoes from the warehouse and sent them to the kitchen to ask his mother to help him make two dishes to satisfy his craving.

 Gu Liping was very puzzled when she saw the tomatoes and corn. Why did she hide these in her room?

 Yan Duo scratched his head and started to make up a reason: "In the process of losing weight, sometimes I feel very hungry, so I bought some vegetables that can be eaten directly to relieve my hunger when I am hungry."

 After hearing this, Gu Liping felt distressed for a while. How much suffering had her daughter endured in order to lose weight? She must give her a good supplement later...

 Then I thought about it, something seemed wrong. Can corn be eaten raw?

 In the end, the tomatoes were fried with eggs. As for the corn, Yan Jianjun just bought the tube bones and put them together to stew the soup.

 Not long after the tube bone soup was boiled, the aroma of corn wafted out. Yan Jianjun, who was sitting outside, took a sniff and slipped into the kitchen without holding back. Not long after, he came out with a piece of hot corn.

 He didn't care about burning it and finished it in three bites. Not satisfied after eating, he ran into the kitchen again.

 This time Gu Lihua didn't let him succeed and kicked him out of the kitchen.

 Yan Jianjun, who was not satisfied with the meal, ran to Yan Duo's room and asked, "I heard that you bought the corn and tomatoes? Where did you buy them?"

 Yan Duo had already guessed that her parents would not be able to help but ask, and even made up the reason: "At the bus station in front of our school, sometimes you will meet people selling vegetables with burdens. I will be surprised when I see them. Bought."

 Yan Jianjun asked: "Are they sold every day?"

 Yan Duo shook his head: "I only encountered him twice."

 Yan Jianjun really believed it and was very disappointed. He said, "It tastes really good. It definitely didn't come from a greenhouse. The price is probably not cheap either."

 "Price? I can't remember. How many cents was it?" Yan Duo pretended to think.

 The spirit of the World Tree, Yan Duo remembers it clearly.

 However, Yan Jianjun's words reminded Yan Duo that if you can't finish the vegetables, you can sell them.

 Yan Duo has always been worried about not having enough lockers. There are only ten compartments in the lockers filled with all kinds of grains and vegetables. They are almost full, so Yan Duo still dares not plant new plants.

 She made up her mind to set up a stall on the roadside whenever she had time. These vegetables tasted so good that she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

 During lunch, the table was full of dishes, but the most popular ones were the tomato scrambled eggs and corn tube bone soup.

 Gu Liping ate a few pieces of corn and frowned: "It tastes good. Could it be that genetically modified food?"

 Yan Jianjun thought about it carefully and said, "It should be grafted. It seems to have a fruity aroma."

 Gu Liping: "Yes, it looks similar to me."

 Yan Duo hid his face behind his rice bowl, laughing so hard that his shoulders trembled.

 ******Dividing line******

 Once you make up your mind to do it, you have to think about all aspects.

 In the afternoon, Yan Duo packed up a few things and took the game console under the guise of going to a classmate's house, and went to the market near his home.

 In fact, setting up stalls outside the food market is not allowed. Generally speaking, if the urban management finds out, you will be kicked out, and you must rent a stall inside the food market. However, the Yan Duo family's area is not so strictly controlled. Some nearby families grow their own vegetables and sell them on the street, but the city management turns a blind eye when they see them.

 Yan Duo also took advantage of this loophole (this kind of behavior is not recommended, the city's appearance needs everyone to work together to maintain...). At around two o'clock in the afternoon, she found an open space on the road outside the market and spread a rainproof cloth. The tomatoes and cucumbers that came out were laid out, crowded among a group of uncles and aunties, and they started selling.

 People around her were not surprised. Yan Duo probably thought it was mainly because she was taller. She had grown a little taller recently and was already 1.59 meters tall.

 At the beginning, let alone buying vegetables, there were very few pedestrians on the whole street. It was deserted along the way. Most of the vegetable sellers were chatting or busy cleaning vegetables, spraying water on vegetables, and peeling beans.

 There are very few vegetable vendors selling vegetables on the roadside. Most of them are grown by nearby residents themselves, and they bring them over to sell if they can't finish the food.

 There was also a girl in her twenties who was selling fish that her father had caught. Yan Duo took a look and saw that there were no big fish, and the smallest one was only as long as her palm. So she sells them very cheaply. In her words, she sells them for money.

 Yan Duo dozed off after waiting. There were gradually more pedestrians on the road. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past four o'clock.

 The business of selling vegetables on this road is for passers-by. Many people will take some food home after get off work.

 Yan Duo's tomatoes sell very well, with almost no cracked melons or dates. After waiting for a while, someone actually came to ask for the price.

 Yan Duo priced his own tomatoes at 1 yuan per catty. Many people shook their heads and left when they heard the price. Some people complained directly: "It's so expensive, you're stealing money."

 The retail price of tomatoes on the market these days is only a few cents, and you probably can't find them anywhere in the city selling for one yuan a pound.

 But Yan Duo just feels that if others taste the taste of her own tomatoes, they won't find them expensive. She is quite confident in this. The problem is how can people taste the taste if they don't even buy them.

 At this time, another office worker riding a bicycle pressed the brake in front of Yan Duo and asked: "How to sell tomatoes?"

 Yan Duo replied as usual: "One yuan per catty."

 This man in his forties was not scared away. Instead, he was happy and said, "Your tomatoes are made of gold. How can you sell them at such a high price?"

 Yan Duo told him seriously: "My tomatoes are of different varieties and taste particularly good."

 The man couldn't laugh or cry: "No matter how good it is, it still doesn't taste like tomato."

 Yan Duo took out the disposable plastic bag prepared in advance and put it on his hand. He took out a fruit knife and cut off a piece of tomato and handed it to the man: "How about you try it."

 The man took a bite and almost bit his hand, thinking: "This little girl is not lying." Inadvertently, he finished the whole tomato and couldn't help but suck his finger.

 "The taste is good..." The man frowned, "But it's still too expensive. Do you want to sell it for 60 cents?"

 Yan Duo shook his head: "The price is not expensive. I am the only one in the city who has this variety of tomatoes. You can't buy them anywhere else."

 "Eight cents, eight cents at most, forget it if you don't sell it." The man stepped on his feet and started to leave.

 Yan Duo thought that he hadn't opened the business yet, so he agreed. It's a good start and a good start!

 Unexpectedly, the man weighed ten of them at once, and Yan Duo packed them in disposable bags. Each bag could hold up to six, so he had to divide them into two bags.

 The man looked at the bag helplessly: "It's said to be for the kitchen, so why is the bag also for the kitchen? Isn't there a bag that can be carried?"

 Yan Duo was very embarrassed: "Sorry, I don't know where to buy wholesale plastic bags."

 The aunt next to her burst into laughter immediately after hearing this. She thought that this girl was too funny. Then she pointed to the corner in front and told Yan Duo: "Turn left ahead and there is a Fafa hardware store that sells plastic bags." of."

 Do hardware stores sell plastic bags? Yan Duo was also drunk.

 Yan Duo wanted to buy a bag from the aunt for the man to use first, and then go wholesale later. The man was easy to talk to, and pointed to the basket in front of his bicycle: "Anyway, there is a place to put it, so it's okay if you don't need to carry it."

 After the man left, Yan Duo asked the aunt next to her to look at her things while she went to approve some plastic bags.

 The aunt directly took two bundles and handed them to her: "I have a lot. Take some from me and use them first. I will give you as much as I bought. I won't cheat you."

 There were two types of plastic bags, one large and one small, just suitable for holding tomatoes and cucumbers. Yan Duo thanked her aunt again and again and bought these two plastic bags.

 After that, whenever Yan Duo came to inquire about the price, he would first give him a piece of tomato to try. Some people thought it was worth it and bought it, ranging from one yuan to eight cents. Some people think that no matter how delicious they are, they are just tomatoes, and would rather buy cheap ones. Others are worried about hygiene issues and are not willing to try them at all.

 Just like this, batch after batch of people who asked about the price were sent away. Even the aunt laughed at her for not knowing how much she gave away just by trying the food.

 By the time the sky was getting slightly dark, Yan Duo had sold most of his tomatoes, and a lot of his cucumbers were also sold.

 I touched the newly added twenty yuan in my pocket and felt an indescribable feeling in my heart. Her tomatoes are very big, about 4 taels each. Before she came here, she estimated that they would cost about 40 yuan when they were all sold. Adding in the cucumbers, it would cost more than 50 yuan.

 As a result, too many tomatoes were tried, and less could be sold. Although cucumbers also tasted good, they were not as obvious as tomatoes, so they could only be sold at market prices, and the actual profit was much less than expected.

 But twenty yuan is not too much, and Yan Duo's monthly pocket money is only fifty yuan.
