The price of fish fry is much more expensive than Liu Hai imagined.
Although the male owner of Fuyang Fishing Tackle Shop is very enthusiastic, he is not vague at all when talking about business.
"Boss, to be honest, I bought these fry from other places. I originally planned to raise them myself, but I just sold them as a side dish. Because I want to feed them myself, the quality of the fry must not be the same.
"Say, are you right? I see you are so young, and I am also a young man. Let's make friends. It costs one dollar and three bars. You can choose whatever you want."
Liu Hai frowned when he heard this. How come the fish fry are sold on the basis of articles?
"Boss, how come you are selling these fry by strips or pounds?"
"Haha——, it's okay to sell by the catty, but I don't know how much you want to buy, boss. If the quantity is large, you can naturally sell it by the catty, but if it's just a small purchase, selling by the catty is really not cost-effective for me.
It’s very troublesome to go back and forth on this fish scale.”
Liu Hai thought about it. It is indeed difficult to weigh live fish fry. However, three fish for one dollar is a bit expensive. Nowadays, a pound of pork costs five yuan. If you pay three fish for one dollar, you can only exchange the pork for fifteen fish fry.
Liu Hai thought for a while and then made a counteroffer: "Boss, I also plan to raise fish at home, but I'm still in the trial stage, so I plan to buy less this time. Can you make it cheaper? Let's leave your contact information.
, when the time comes, if I want to buy again, what do you think about coming back to you? Give me less————”
As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you can pay it back on the spot. Is it a sale? Naturally, it is impossible for bangs to come and go and buy it immediately when the other party says it is all right.
"How much do you want?"
The male boss was obviously a good businessman. He neither nodded in agreement to Bangs' request for a price reduction nor said he would not agree. Instead, he asked Bangs how much he needed to buy. He obviously wanted to make a mental decision before speaking.
But when Liu Hai saw the other party asking this question, he felt happy. As long as the other party didn't refuse directly, he saw the hope of price reduction.
He was about to say "three hundred", but he didn't open his mouth. Liu Hai suddenly remembered something. How should he take it back if he bought so many fry? Think about it, three hundred doesn't seem like a lot, but three hundred fish
Fry, it's a **** trouble to bring them back.
Liu Hai didn't think about how much he would buy at first. It's just that he is still in the experimental stage and doesn't know what it will be like if he raises fish in the space river. If he buys three hundred fry now, it seems a bit much.
So when I opened my mouth, "three hundred" immediately turned into "thirty"
The other party was obviously frightened by the number Liu Hai said. Looking at Liu Hai's counter-offer, he thought Liu Hai would buy a lot. The number "thirty" was unexpected, but it was unexpectedly small.
The owner of Fuyang Fishing Tackle Shop couldn't believe his ears, and thought he had heard wrongly.
"How much did you say?" I asked in disbelief.
Liu Hai scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "I will buy less this time, thirty crucian carp fry. You see, this is my first time to buy. If I buy too much, I won't be able to take it back."
."
Liu Hai felt a little embarrassed. The number of thirty pieces was indeed a bit low, so it was not easy to bargain.
"What does this have to do with it? Where are you from? I'll just call a car to take you there when the time comes."
The other party obviously hopes that Bangs will buy more, and his voice is a little anxious, trying to help Bangs solve the problem to increase his sales.
"Well, it's only one yuan for three fish. I'll buy thirty fish and take them home first. If my family thinks the fry are good, I'll buy them from you. Then you can sell them to me cheaper. Look at me, I'm so young.
, you know, I just came here to explore the bottom first, and I just brought some samples back. If the adults at home think it is okay, I will come directly to your place next time hehe - what do you think, boss?"
Liu Hai finally gave up the counteroffer. Who said that the quantity he bought was really small? He still considered whether he could determine the true function of the space river through experiments. It would not be too late to buy more after he figured out the true function of the space river.
The male boss opposite had actually noticed that Liu Hai was very young, and looked like he was not even twenty years old. Liu Hai's excuse actually spoke to his heart. In fact, if Liu Hai really bought too much, he would not hesitate to ask.
Even if he wanted to buy a huge amount of fry, he would not necessarily dare to sell it to Liu Hai. First, he was afraid that Liu Hai's family would come and cause trouble; and he was afraid that Liu Hai was a liar and would be used against him.
In fact, the male owner of this fishing gear shop doesn't know why Liu Hai looks younger than twenty, but he really is not twenty years old. Liu Hai is not an adult yet and will not turn eighteen until November of this year's lunar calendar.
Year old birthday is a total underage teenager
In the end, Liu Hai spent 10 yuan to buy 30 crucian carp fry at Fuyang Fishing Gear Store, and spent another 3 yuan to buy a box that is usually sold to fishermen to hold fish in the wild.
plastic bucket.
Carrying thirty crucian carp fry, Liu Hai walked out of the fishing gear shop with ease.
Buying fish fry this time was another rare experience.
Through this incident, Liu Hai concluded that he still didn't think things through when doing things. From the beginning, he just wanted to buy fish fry as soon as possible. In fact, he had an eagerness in his heart that he was not aware of, so he didn't bring any tools to install fish fry.
Not to mention how much I need to buy and other things.
There is something about bangs that is always the invisible impatience in my heart. For me, this "enemy" that "lurks" deep in my heart is the most terrifying thing.
I looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with strong sunlight, which was very dazzling. I had just come out of a dark place, and my eyes were still not used to it.
Liu Hai patted his trouser pocket, and there was a very ordinary piece of straw paper inside. On the paper was the phone number of the owner of the Fuyang fishing gear shop. If his experiment was successful, it would be much easier to sell fish fry next time.
It was with this note that the story of Liu Hai and Fuyang Fishing Tackle Shop was far from over.
Carrying the fry, Liu Hai did not rush to the vegetable market to buy vegetables at first, nor did he rush back to do experiments. Instead, he strolled slowly on the street step by step.
The county seat of Longxian County cannot be said to be big, and it is certainly not small to say that it is small.
Especially with the development in recent years, the population in the county has increased and businesses in all walks of life have become more and more prosperous.
Not long after wandering around, Liu Hai found his wandering destination.
This is a Western-style cake shop. The name and signboard are very cartoonish. Before Liu Hai walked in, he knew that the owner of this cake shop must be very young.
Standing outside the door, a strong butter fragrance floated over from the cake shop, which was very tempting to the taste buds.
The reason why Liu Hai went to the cake shop was not because he was hungry and wanted to buy a cake to fill his stomach, but because he wanted to buy a birthday cake for Liu Xiaofu's birthday.
To be honest, Liu Hai has never seen a real birthday cake, let alone eaten it, which is a very novel thing for farmers.
When he was in high school, Liu Hai was introverted and had only one friend in the class, Li Brown. When other classmates in the class had birthday parties, basically no one called him.
There were several times when people in the dormitory discussed who in the class had a birthday party, where to eat, and what entertainment programs there would be after dinner. When they talked about eating birthday cakes and some "cake wars", they felt so excited
He let his bangs fall aside and kept these things in mind.
Now that the conditions at home are better, Liu Hai wants to buy a birthday cake for Sister Xiaofu to celebrate her birthday, and at the same time let her family have a try.
The owner of the cake shop is indeed very young, a slightly wealthy young woman with a baby.
When she learned that Liu Hai bought a birthday cake because someone in the family had a birthday tomorrow, the young lady told Liu Hai that the birthday cake could not be left overnight on such a hot day. If Liu Hai was going to use it tomorrow, it would be best to order it now and help Liu Hai finish it tomorrow.
, pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
Of course, Liu Hai would not come back to the county town tomorrow to buy cakes. There was no shop that made this kind of cakes in that small place in town.
Liu Hai paid and asked the boss to help him make a two-layered cream cake.
"Do you want to write something on the cake?"
The young ** asked while writing the order for Bangs.
"Can you still write on the cake?" Liu Hai was a little strange, but he soon understood. Writing? Liu Hai knew this kind of thing. The pictures of cakes he had seen in books often had the words "Happy Birthday" on them.
"Of course you can, but generally it's best not to exceed ten words. When we make the cake for you, you can write it on the cake with butter. There are too many words and it's hard to write. After all, a cake is only so big." Young**
He smiled and handed over a piece of paper and a pen.
Liu Hai thought for a moment and wrote on the paper - "Overflowing with youth, embrace life."
It's not a "Happy Birthday" type of greeting, but Liu Hai used these eight words. Overflowing with youth means that Liu Xiaofu is young and beautiful. Embracing life means that she treats Sister Xiaofu, her family, and herself.
expectations.
The lady opposite looked at the words written by Liu Hai in a strange way. There are very few people like Liu Hai.
It takes two hours to make a birthday cake, and Liu Hai takes advantage of this time to go to the market to buy vegetables. At the same time, he can also find a place to deal with the thirty crucian carp fry he is carrying.
Liu Hai took the note from the cake shop owner to pick up the cake and walked out of the cake shop. At the door, he met a strange little boy.
This little boy was only about four or five years old. He looked younger than Liu Zi. He was very dirty and the clothes he was wearing were even dirtier. On his thin face, he had two small eyes looking weakly at the cake shop.
When the little boy saw Liu Hai looking at him, he stopped looking at him in panic and ran away. It was as if Liu Hai was some kind of monster that eats children, which made Liu Hai a little depressed...
