Chapter 125 The magical effects of hand tremors and calluses
"Bananas, grapefruits, persimmons, oranges, durians, and winter dates are placed at the door, while dragon fruit, pineapples, kiwis, prunes, and blueberries are placed in the air curtain cabinet..."
Early this morning, all kinds of fruits were delivered to the door of the "Fruit Man" store.
Different from selling single products in the past, Lin Tao this time put out a full range of fruits.
At present, the repurchase points are still a few hundred points short of the upgrade. The rewards after the upgrade are unclear, so Lin Tao does not dare to buy more fruits rashly.
Take advantage of this period to prepare for entering a hypermarket, and also plan your future juice-cutting business.
Ding Mo moved boxes of fruits from the door inside, while Guan Rong was holding a rag and concentrating on wiping the wind curtain cabinet.
The shelves were filled with colorful fruits, and Lin Tao seemed to have returned to the time half a year ago.
At that time, he knew nothing about fruits and was busy like a headless fly every day.
Except for the first few days of opening, the fruit was relatively fresh and the business was pretty good. After that, it went downhill, and there were fewer and fewer regular customers.
Today is different from the past. If you sell fruit this time, you must not make the same mistake again!
"Old man, look across the way, we bought a lot of goods today." Wan Hong said while standing in her store.
"I have no money... He did what he did before, thinking that being cheap would attract repeat customers, so stop it. Customers will just follow the price!" This time, Zhang Dehua was calm and relaxed.
Zhang Dehua sells bananas for 3.58 yuan per pound, and Lin Tao sells them for 3.88 yuan.
Apples, Zhang Dehua sells for 5.8 yuan per catty, and Lin Tao sells for 6.5 yuan.
Zhang Dehua sells blueberries for 15.8 yuan a box, and Lin Tao sells them for 18.8 yuan.
Zhang Dehua secretly glanced at Lin Tao's fruit prices across the street. Almost all varieties were more expensive than his fruit.
He thought that this was because Lin Tao "had no money to burn" and started to cut the leeks of his previous customers.
Don't look at Lin Tao's great success in the past few days. Once he starts selling fruit, the price will rise and all the customers will be gone!
"Look at the few sales he did this morning, they are worse than us." Zhang Dehua said again.
"Don't be too careless, be careful..." Wan Hong warned.
Lin Tao is no longer the "Lin Tao" he was before. This time he is selling fruit with great force, and his tactics are weird and unpredictable.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on his price. As long as our price is lower than his, we don't have to worry about not having customers." Zhang Dehua said confidently.
Although Lin Tao has won several "assault battles" in the past few times, once it turns into a "positional battle", it is still unclear who will win...
"Fruit Man" store.
Lin Tao was cleaning at the bar, which is now the juice pressing and fruit cutting area, separate from the whole fruit sales.
Whether you’re taking out or eating in, you’ll want to keep it clean and tidy.
[Ding! Repurchase rate 3, points 3, total 44106 points detected]
Lin Tao did not choose low prices this time, and there were indeed many fewer customers in the store.
The repurchase points are slowly rising, and he is not anxious at all.
Not long after, a man about 35 years old came in at the door. He poked his head around. He didn't look like he was here to buy fruit.
"Excuse me, is Boss Lin here? I'm here to apply..."
Apply?
Ding Mo and Guan Rong were both shocked.
"Oh, you saw the recruitment information online, right? Come and sit inside." Lin Tao came to the door of the store.
It turns out that he posted a recruitment advertisement on 58.com yesterday. The fruit shop is expanding its fruit cutting and juice pressing business and needs to recruit talents.
"I used to work as a carpenter, and I fell down a building once... But don't worry, my hands and feet are very fast and I can do things very neatly..." Man A introduced himself.
Lin Tao couldn't help but frown. His previous work experience had nothing to do with fruits. He looked okay, but he just looked older.
Ding Mo and Guan Rong on the side also quietly shook their heads at Lin Tao, indicating that Man A was not suitable for this job.
"Let's do this. Leave your personal information for a while. If there is any need in the future, I will notify you." Lin Tao was too embarrassed to refuse others in person and gave them a step down.
Man A took the paper and pen tremblingly. When writing on the table, his right hand kept shaking, making it very difficult to even write.
"Your hands..." Ding Mo asked.
"As a carpenter, I often plan wood. My hands are always shaking due to cramps. But it's okay. I'll be fine after just shaking for a few minutes." Man A said with shame.
He also knows that it is precisely because of this "flaw" of shaking hands that he has encountered obstacles in finding a job in the past two years.
It seems that this time, this job in the fruit shop is definitely hopeless.
"Every time your hands shake, how long can it last?" Lin Tao suddenly asked.
"If it's cold or if I encounter water, I can sometimes tremble for an hour..." Man A sighed.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Tao, Ding Mo and Guan Rong all had long-lost smiles on their faces.
"Great, you're hired, we just need someone with trembling hands!" Lin Tao said happily.
What?
Are you looking for someone with trembling hands?
Man A looked surprised, but looked at the three people in front of him, feeling very embarrassed.
"What you don't know is that this position is dedicated to cutting fruits. The trembling your hands are, the faster you can cut them. And your naturally trembling hands can save your energy and get twice the result with half the effort!" Ding Mo explained.
For people with shaky hands, holding a knife to cut fruits is perfect!
"Thank you, thank you boss!" Man A was moved to tears.
Not long after, another 30-year-old man B came to the door of the store.
"Excuse me, is Boss Lin here? I'm here to apply..."
Lin Tao couldn't help but take a breath when he saw it.
Man B is about 1.6 meters tall, with a dark complexion and dyed yellow hair. He looks like a middle-aged boy.
To be honest, at first glance, he looks like an idle person.
"I graduated from a technical secondary school and worked as a waiter and courier. My last job was moving bricks on a construction site..." Man B said disapprovingly.
Moving bricks?
This kind of work resume seems to have little to do with selling fruit.
Lin Tao couldn't help but look bad, Ding Mo and Guan Rong were also winking at him, signaling that they must not hire this person.
"Let's do this. Please keep your personal information for a while. If there is any need in the future, I will notify you." Lin Tao followed the same pattern.
Man B looked nonchalant, picked up the pen on the table, and began to fill in his personal information.
"Your hands..." Guan Rong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, moving bricks is a physical job, and my fingers and palms are often bruised. Over time, the scars have become calloused, and they can't be cut off..." Man B explained.
It turned out that Man B’s hands had accumulated a thick layer of calluses from lifting bricks.
This is a pair of hands full of vicissitudes of life!
"Does your hand still hurt when you move bricks now?" Lin Tao asked again.
"I can't feel it anymore... Now if I prick my hand with a needle, I won't feel anything." Man B responded.
He also knows that it is precisely because of the "flaw" of calloused hands that he has encountered obstacles in finding a job in the past two years.
It seems that this time, this job in the fruit shop is definitely hopeless.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Tao, Ding Mo and Guan Rong all had long-lost smiles on their faces.
"Great, you're hired, we just need someone with calluses on their hands!" Lin Tao said happily.
What?
Are you looking for people with calluses on their hands?
Man B looked surprised, but looked at the three people in front of him, feeling very embarrassed.
"Your job is mainly about cutting fruits. Most fruit juices are acidic. Over time, the skin on your hands will crack and the pain will be unbearable. Now that you have calluses on your hands, you won't have this problem anymore!" Guan Rong
explained.
For example, if you cut an orange open, the orange juice will inevitably get on your hands.
Ordinary people are fine cutting 10 oranges a day, but when you cut hundreds or thousands of oranges a day, and you keep cutting them every day... the acidic orange juice will erode the skin on your hands and cause cracks.
The calluses on the hands of Man B are like wearing a thick "armor", which can effectively resist the corrosion of fruit juice.
In addition, cutting fruits requires using a knife, which will inevitably cut your fingers. If you have calluses on your hands, you can avoid this potential risk.
Therefore, cutting fruits is perfect for people with calluses on their hands!
