Village Chief Li went to Zhao's house with a basket on his back, firstly because Butler Zhao was easy to talk to, and secondly because Village Chief Li felt that he would be able to buy cloth cheaper in the future if he became familiar with Butler Zhao.

In short, it's all business. If it's not profitable, you can't start early, but it's reasonable.

With the experience of selling melons last time, Zhou Cuihua was not afraid at all. After cutting the melon slices for trial, she started shouting. Mao Dan also followed suit, busy in front and back.

Not to be outdone, Liu Paner and Li Dabao shouted loudly that they brought a lot of melons today and hoped to sell them out as soon as possible.

The customers who had bought melons last time saw them and came over one after another because the cantaloupe and honeydew tasted really good.

Sweet and fragrant, it is not only delicious but also relieves the heat.

In this era, sugar is very expensive. In grocery stores, it costs thirty cents per pound, and you may not always be able to buy it. But people like to eat sweets, so anything sweet is very popular.

Sweetness is the biggest advantage of Liu Paner’s cantaloupe and horn honey.

A middle-aged woman who came here to buy melons last time couldn't help but taste a few slices. They were delicious as always. "Oh, you only come here once every three days. I come every day, so I've been looking forward to seeing you."

Liu Pan'er said with a smile while helping the middle-aged woman choose: "Madam, our home is far away, forty miles away from Baisha Town. Running every day will make your legs short. Madam, I'll tell you the truth.

, after picking these melons once, the remaining immature ones will have to grow long before you can save enough to sell them in the town."

The middle-aged woman nodded, "Yes, it's quite tiring."

Liu Pan'er smiled again and said: "Madam, look at my melons. They are ripe and can be left for two or three days. You can buy more and eat them until we come back to sell them in three days. We will be able to catch them."

The middle-aged woman saw that Liu Pan'er was eloquent and a smart person, so she nodded and said, "Wu's grain store belongs to my family. I can't even buy a basket, and I don't have anything to put it in. I'll pick one."

Basket, will you deliver it to my home?"

Seeing that this was a big customer, Liu Pan'er smiled happily and nodded, "Okay, madam, you choose, and I'll send it to you."

I picked a basket of twenty cantaloupes and twenty horns of honey, a total of one hundred and forty coins.

Liu Pan'er gave a cantaloupe to the middle-aged woman. The two of them carried the handle of a basket and walked to the Wu family grain store. "Madam, I am happy that you bought so many melons. But although this melon is delicious,

After all, it is cold in nature, so don’t eat too much.”

The middle-aged woman was slightly startled, "You are a very honest girl. Some people just want to sell things and don't care about this!"

Liu Pan'er smiled. As a veteran in business, she was particularly sincere at this time, "Others are doing one-time deals, but I am not. I still have several acres of melon fields at home, including my uncle's.

Mu of melons. Not only will we sell this year, but also next year. If we want to have a long-term business, we have to not care about the needs of our customers."

The middle-aged woman smiled and looked at Liu Pan'er, "What's your last name, sister?"

When asked about the last name, that is the step to get acquainted. As for whether they can become friends or partners, it depends on whether they can be mutually beneficial in the future.

Liu Pan'er's tone became more sincere, and she replied with a smile: "My surname is Liu, and my first name is Pan'er. Madam, what do you call me?"

"My wife, the proprietress of the Wu family's grain store, a girl from the Liu family, just call me Mrs. Wu." Mrs. Wu smiled, "Although I know that melons are cool, I still thank you for the reminder. After buying so many melons, my family does eat them.

It’s not over yet. I’m going back to my parents’ home in the county tomorrow and bringing some delicious fruits with me. Although they’re not expensive, they’re delicious. It’s also a sign of my filial piety to my parents and my brothers and sisters-in-law.”

Liu Pan'er praised, "Mrs. Wu is really filial. We as elders should be filial to our loving elders. Since Mrs. Wu has arrangements, I don't have to worry. I just have a small problem. Mrs. Wu, you should

I grew up in the county. Are there melons like mine in the county? To be honest, I bought seeds from Fanbang. I used to grow them at home and eat them. I thought they were delicious, so I planted some and sold them."

Mrs. Wu was surprised, no wonder she had never eaten such delicious melons before. It turned out to be Fanbang seeds. This time she could show off in front of her sister-in-law when she went back. Her sister-in-law could no longer dislike the things she sent there as junk goods from the countryside.

Mrs. Wu looked at the melon and smiled a little more, "Anyway, I have never eaten such delicious food. If it was available in the county, my mother would send someone to deliver it to me, but she never did."

Liu Pan'er nodded and thanked, "Thank you, Mrs. Wu. There are few people in Baisha Town after all. When the fields are in full fruit season, I plan to transport them to the county town to sell them. Maybe they will be sold at a higher price!"

Mrs. Wu nodded and thought carefully, "It's a bit expensive, but the county town is far away. If you transport it there, you probably won't be able to go back and forth on the same day. If you are unfamiliar with the place, it may not be easy to sell."

This is what Liu Pan'er is most worried about. The distance is too far, and you can't go back and forth on the same day, so you have to stay in a hotel. Although the melon can be stored for two or three days, who knows what it will be like in the county?

Liu Paner smiled and sent it to the grain store, "I have to try it."

The boy helped carry it in, then put the melons in the basket at Wu's grain shop and returned the basket.

Liu Pan'er thanked her endlessly, warmly and sincerely.

As soon as Liu Pan'er arrived at her stall, Mrs. Wu and the waiter came back with two baskets, "Sister Liu, bring me two more baskets."

Liu Pan'er was startled, with a look of surprise on her face. This Mrs. Wu is a big customer. "Thank you, Mrs. Wu, for coming. Since there are two baskets, it's better to put them separately. One basket contains cantaloupe, and one basket contains honey. How about that?"

?”

Mrs. Wu nodded, "Okay, I really like this golden yellow and green one."

There are forty melons in one basket and fifty horns in one basket, all rounded up to round numbers.

Liu Pan'er quickly calculated, "Mrs. Wu, Jinyumantang cantaloupe costs four cents a piece, forty melons, one hundred and sixty cents; croissant honey costs three cents a piece, fifty melons, one hundred and fifty cents. Total addition

It’s only three hundred and ten cents. You are a big customer. Take care of my business. I’ll make it cheaper for you. I’ll give you a small change. It’s only three hundred cents. It’s a small business. Mrs. Wu will continue to patronize me in the future!”

Mrs. Wu happily paid the money and said politely, "The Liu family girl is really good at being a good person."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Wu." Liu Pan'er smiled. She is not only good at life, she is also good at business.

After Mrs. Wu left, Liu Pan'er collected three coins and put them on her body.

Zhou Cuihua praised her and gave Liu Paner a thumbs up, "From the Yuan Qing family, you are so good at talking and doing business. You are so awesome."

Liu Pan'er modestly said, "There is nothing we can do about it. We can't rely on men, so we have to rely on ourselves to live a good life."

After Li Dabao heard this, he quickly said: "Mom, my father is reliable. He is good-looking, and he is also good at martial arts and literacy. He brings a lot of money to the family every year!"
