Lin Mai put the split blood peach on the plate he brought, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and invited the aunts to taste it.
When the aunts tasted it, they found it really sweet and juicy, and many of them were tempted.
Although Lin Mai's peaches and plums are not expensive, the aunts work together to bargain, insisting that she get a five cent discount per catty.
Linmai's fruits only cost a few cents, five cents per catty, which is a bit excessive.
Although Lin Mai was unhappy in his heart, his face didn't show it at all.
He said with a grimace: "I purchased these fruits from the countryside. The cost, plus the gas fee for the round trip, only earns you five cents per catty. If you still want to bargain, then I will have to drink the northwest wind."
Those aunts had no sympathy at all. No matter how miserable Lin Mai's words were, they just wanted to make a counteroffer.
Some even threaten her that if she doesn't obey them, they won't buy it.
An aunt said bitterly: "The peaches and plums are not put away.
If you don’t sell it to us tonight, it will be stale the next night, so you won’t have to lower the price tomorrow!
Why bother? Why not sell it to us now at a cheap price and save everyone trouble."
Lin Mai took steps back to make progress: "If this is the case, then I will sell on the street. I do business to make money. I'm really sorry, ladies and gentlemen."
After that, I got on the tractor and prepared to leave.
There is no law enforcement team at night, so she can sell on any street she wants.
The reason why she didn't choose to sell on the street from the beginning was mainly because she was afraid that some gangsters would take advantage of her.
There is no such danger when selling in a community.
But these aunts are so cunning, so she has no choice but to risk selling on the street.
Seeing that she was leaving, the aunts hurriedly stopped in front of her tractor.
"I said, girl, how can you do this kind of business? If you don't agree, you will leave."
Lin Mai sighed helplessly: "Your counter-offer is too outrageous. I can't afford to sell it, and there's no point in keeping it."
"But we can't just buy it at whatever price you tell us. If you tell us an honest price, we think it's okay and we'll definitely buy it."
Lin Mai said with a sincere face: "The price I quoted was the honest price. It was late at night. I never thought of quoting an inflated price. I just wanted to sell out as soon as possible and go home early."
She pretended to think deeply for a moment and said: "Since you insist on being cheap, this is great. Buy ten catties and get half a catty free."
Those smart aunts were not happy: "Who can eat all the 10 kilograms? This is fruit, not rice!"
In this era, which family doesn’t have many children, and which family doesn’t have four or five people!
Ten kilograms of fruit can be finished in two or three days. There is nothing left to eat. I just find a reason to bargain.
Lin Mai didn't want to argue with the aunts about this, and spread his hands: "I can only make this big concession."
An aunt waved her hand forcefully: "Buy 5 pounds and get half a pound free, that's it."
Other aunts responded one after another.
In the end, Lin Mai pretended to be helpless and was forced to agree.
The purchasing price of peaches is two cents per catty, and the purchasing price of plums is twenty-five cents per catty.
Even if you buy five kilograms and get half a kilogram for free, the profit is greater than if it is five cents cheaper per kilogram.
Other residents who were standing one or two meters away and watching saw that the aunts had slashed the price, and they all gathered around to buy.
Everyone, you buy five kilograms of fruit and I buy five kilograms of it. About one thousand kilograms of fruit was sold in a short time, about three hundred kilograms.
Lin Mai visited several communities and used the same sales method to sell another three hundred kilograms.
After selling until around nine o'clock, with only two to three hundred kilograms left, Lin Mai drove his tractor back home, planning to sell the extra on the black market tomorrow.
If it's still early after I go to the black market tomorrow, I'll go to the countryside to collect peaches and plums to sell.
Firstly, I can earn some money, and secondly, I can help the villagers sell some fruits.
Li Mingcheng and the others also ended their night market business.
The attentive Zhou Caiyun left a bowl of mung bean paste for Lin Mai and brought it to her as soon as she came back.
Let her drink a bowl of cold mung bean paste to relieve the heat and quench her thirst.
He asked her gossiping about how much he made from selling peaches and plums tonight.
Zhou Caiyun is different from Ti Niu's mother, she will not be jealous of Lin Mai making a lot of money.
Lin Mai also trusted her and told her that he probably earned more than two hundred.
Zhou Caiyun said happily: "I didn't expect that reselling agricultural products can be so profitable, even more profitable than opening a store!"
Lin Madao: "It's just because no one is reselling agricultural products now. When everyone starts reselling agricultural products, it will be difficult to make money."
Everyone chatted for a few words and then went to sleep.
After a tiring day, Lin Mai lay down and fell asleep, and he slept very soundly.
I got up at six o'clock the next day.
Zhou Caiyun had already prepared breakfast for her, including porridge, meat buns, and a small plate of pickled radish.
Zhou Caiyun pushed the small plate of pickled radish in front of Lin Mai: "I pickled it, try it to see if it's crispy, do you like it?"
Lin Mai tasted it, and it was indeed crispy and refreshing, with just the right amount of sourness. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Crisp, refreshing, and tastes good!"
Zhou Caiyun looked arrogant when she was praised.
Lin Mai thought that the kimchi pickled by Zhou Caiyun was sour and delicious, and it went very well with rice.
Maybe you can add the kimchi project to your plans in the future and learn from Pulin’s pickled mustard to create a brand.
After her rebirth, she discovered that there were many ways to make a fortune right at her feet.
After breakfast, Lin Mai drove the tractor to the black market.
She thought she came so early and the gangsters watching the show hadn't gotten up yet.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her tractor stopped at the black market, the gangster who collected her stall fee last time appeared in front of her.
Lin Mai said angrily: "If you charge the stall fee, you are afraid that you will run slower, and you wish you could run over on all fours.
Something is wrong, not even a hair on your face can be seen.
Aren't you in charge of watching the scene? I was almost blackmailed last time, and I didn't even see a hair on your face."
This black market is Chen Feng's territory, and the gangsters watching the scene are naturally his people.
It was precisely because he knew they were his men that Lin Mai spoke so rudely.
Because she knew that as long as she gave Chen Feng's name, this little gangster wouldn't dare do anything to her.
Last time, this little gangster neglected his duties and almost caused Lin Mai to suffer a big loss. Chen Feng dealt with him well afterwards.
This time he was trying to atone for his sins, so how could he dare to charge stall fees?
He said with an apologetic smile: "I'm not here to collect stall fees, I'm here to protect you."
After that, he walked away to collect other people's booth fees, and then circled Lin Mai's tractor twice from time to time.
Two to three hundred kilograms of peaches and plums, with a discount for buying five kilograms, sold out quickly.
With that gangster in charge, Lin Mai's business was going smoothly.
Although the gangster cheated me before and took the money but didn't do anything.
But today he really did his duty.
After the business was over, Lin Mai bought a pack of good cigarettes and thanked him before leaving.
When he came to the restaurant for dinner last night and didn't see Lin Mai, Fang Zhuoran always felt that something was missing and his heart was empty.
I didn't see Lin Mai again this morning, and I finally understood from the bottom of my heart what "one day's absence is like three autumns".
She asked Zhou Caiyun angrily: "Where's Maizi? Didn't he come back yesterday?"
"I'm back." Zhou Caiyun served him breakfast. "Because I bought too much fruit, I drove a tractor out early in the morning to sell fruit."
Fang Zhuoran frowned: "Do you know where she usually sells fruit?"
"Community, black market."
"Will she come back for lunch today?"
Zhou Caiyun shook her head: "She probably won't come back for dinner. She told me when she went out in the morning that if the fruit is sold out, she will drive the tractor directly back to the countryside to collect the fruit."
Fang Zhuoran's eyebrows knitted tighter: "When Maizi comes back, tell her to drive her tractor to the neighborhood where I live to sell fruit, and I will help her sell it."
Zhou Caiyun responded with a smile, but inwardly she rolled her eyes and cursed: Since you care about Maizi so much, why don't you confess to her?
Lin Mai hadn't been seen since last night, and Fang Zhuoran couldn't taste anything he ate.
He reluctantly swallowed his breakfast and left silently.
