Based on the relationship between Ye Ming and Wang Yutong, he could have sold the peach to Tianyunfang.
But Ye Ming didn't do this because he wanted to exercise this introverted Xiaoxue who didn't like to talk. After all, society is the best classroom.
Ye Ming did not go to the market, but found a shady place in a commercial street.
Ye Ming put the bamboo basket on the ground and said, "Xiaoxue, whether we drink cold water and steamed buns at noon, or go to a restaurant and have a big meal, it's up to you today!"
"Brother Ye Ming, how much should our peaches cost?"
"It's up to you!"
Ye Ming laid down on the table with newspapers, and then became a hands-off shopkeeper.
Seeing that Ye Ming didn't care about anything, Xiaoxue suddenly panicked. Her lips were tightly pursed like flowers, and she nervously watched the passers-by.
"want……"
"that……"
"Hello……"
Every time she passed by someone, Xiaoxue wanted to sell her peaches, but she opened her mouth and swallowed her words. She really couldn't muster the courage to sell her peaches.
Ye Ming lay on the ground and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was almost noon.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Ye Ming turned around and saw that none of the peaches in the basket had been sold. Xiaoxue was huddled aside like a mole, extremely cowardly.
Ye Ming shook his head and sighed, it seemed he was going to be hungry at noon.
Even if she was starving, Ye Ming had no intention of going over to help peddle food. This was a hurdle that Xiaoxue had to overcome. If her character didn't change on her own, she would suffer big losses when she entered society.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?"
An old man with white hair passed by and stopped to ask.
"I...I'm a peach seller!"
Xiaoxue answered timidly, her face already turning red before she finished speaking.
"Selling peaches?"
The old man suddenly laughed.
"You little girl, why don't you shout when you sell things? And your peaches should be placed on the ground, not in a frame, with a piece of cloth covering them, so who knows what's inside?"
Xiaoxue was left speechless, her head buried in her chest in shame.
"Are your peaches sweet?"
The old man took out a peach from the bamboo basket and asked.
"Sweet, very sweet!"
Xiaoxue answered quietly.
"Then let me have a taste."
The old man wiped the peach, then took a bite, and his eyes opened wide.
"Yeah! It's so delicious. I've never tasted such good peaches!"
Being praised by the old man, Xiaoxue's face suddenly flushed with joy.
"Then... Grandpa, please buy some peaches!"
Xiaoxue mustered up her courage and said.
The old man nodded and said: "Give me five...no, ten!"
Xiaoxue quickly opened the plastic bag and picked ten larger peaches from the bamboo basket to pack.
"Little girl, how much are these peaches?"
Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, she didn't know how much she should sell it for.
Xiaoxue turned to look at Ye Ming and cast a look at him for help.
Ye Ming took a nap, then turned his back and continued to sleep.
"Little girl, how much do your peaches cost?"
The old man urged.
Xiaoxue pursed her lips. They used to sell it to a second-hand dealer for one yuan and fifty cents per catty, but it would be higher at retail.
"Grandpa, peaches are two yuan per catty. These are more than three catties, so please give me five yuan!"
The old man suddenly beamed with joy. The peaches in the big supermarket were not as delicious as the ones sold by the little girl, which cost four yuan a pound. She actually sold them for two yuan. It was really cheap.
"Then weigh me another five pounds!"
Don't take advantage of the bastard, so quickly ask Xiaoxue to weigh him more.
After paying the money, the old man left with a large bag of peaches. Before leaving, he warned Xiaoxue that you must shout when buying things, otherwise people will not know what you are selling.
Xiaoxue nodded with deep understanding. With this precedent, her character has changed a lot.
"Peaches... peaches! Fresh peaches!"
After the old man left, Xiaoxue tried several times and finally summoned the courage to shout.
The crisp sound sounded on the street, and pedestrians on the road were attracted and turned their heads to look here. Some people actually came over to see the quality of the peaches and inquire about the price.
Chinese people like to join in the fun. After three or two people gathered around, people came one after another to watch the fun. Soon, dozens of people gathered on the street.
"These peaches taste good, little girl, give me five kilos!"
"I want ten pounds!"
"I'll give you ten pounds too!"
After someone tasted the peaches, they immediately shouted for Xiaoxue to weigh them.
"I'm sorry, the discount time has come, and the price of our peaches will increase!"
At this moment, Ye Ming, who was sleeping next to him, came over and placed a paper sign worth ten yuan per catty next to the bamboo basket.
This time, the onlookers were completely confused. Why were they still sitting on the floor and raising the price?
"You are an unreasonable person. It was clearly two yuan just now, but the price has increased even though you said it has increased. You are really a profiteer!"
"Raise the price at will, I will sue you to the Market Management Bureau!"
"Your price is too outrageous. It's just an ordinary peach, and the price is even higher than that in a big supermarket. We won't buy it!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and Ye Ming could be drowned by spittle flying from your mouth.
Xiaoxue had never seen such a scene before. She immediately panicked. She took Ye Ming's hand and said, "Brother Ye Ming, we can't do this. Let's sell Liang Yuan a pound!"
Ye Ming patted the back of Xiaoxue's hand, gave her a reassuring look, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, they will buy it!"
After appeasing Xiaoxue, Ye Ming immediately said loudly to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not too late to listen to what I have to say before you scold me!"
Then Ye Ming pushed Xiaoxue in front of everyone and said: "You may not know this little girl. She is my sister. Of course, she is not a relative, but she is from my same village. She is a senior in our Yuncheng County Middle School and has excellent academic performance.
My house is full of certificates, and I am not bragging, my sister will definitely be admitted to 211 or 985 universities in the future and become a pillar of the country!"
"But such a little sister who is both good in character and academics, has a bumpy road to school because of her poor family. When she was a baby, her mother died of a serious illness, and her father suffered from leg disease and was bedridden all year round. My sister not only
She has to go to school and take care of the family affairs, which is really hard for her."
What Ye Ming said was sincere, and everyone watching was moved by Xiaoxue's tragic life experience.
Ye Ming changed the subject and said: "I am telling you this not to let you pity my sister, but to let you know that these peaches are not wholesaled from the market, but are grown at home, managed and picked by ourselves, and the price is high.
, of course, the taste is dozens of times better than other peaches, and the price of ten yuan per pound is already very reasonable. If anyone can come up with peaches that taste better than ours, I will give him this basket for free!"
“Their peaches really taste better than other peaches!”
"Yes, I just tasted one, and it was the best peach I've ever tasted!"
"To be fair, the prices of his peaches are indeed a bit expensive, but in terms of quality, they are still very good and affordable!"
A few people who had tasted the peaches stood up and spoke one after another, while those who were watching the excitement and setting up rice seedlings stopped talking.
"Ten yuan, ten yuan, give me five pounds!"
"I have a lot of people at home, give me ten pounds!"
"It's rare to see such good peaches. Give me twenty pounds!"
When an uncle urged Xiaoxue to weigh the peaches for him, many people began to buy them. The basket full of peaches soon ran out, leaving some that were not in good condition.
Xiaoxue simply sold half the peaches and half gave them away, and sold all the peaches.
A basket of peaches was exchanged for a pile of colorful banknotes, estimated to be six or seven hundred. Xiaoxue's cheeks turned red with excitement. This was the first pot of gold she had earned in her life.
"Brother Ye Ming, thank you!"
Xiaoxue was very happy. She not only thanked Ye Ming for helping her sell peaches, but also thanked Ye Ming for training her in interpersonal communication.
Ye Ming smiled happily and reached out to touch Xiaoxue's head.
"Brother is hungry, how about a treat for lunch?"
Xiaoxue held the money and nodded sharply: "What does Brother Ye Ming want to eat?"
Ye Ming touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "As the saying goes, catfish stewed with eggplant will kill the old man. I know there is a fly shop that makes catfish and eggplant that is very delicious!"
