Chapter 59 59. Consider renting a stall
When he said this, the vegetable seller was not happy.
“What is illegal stall setting?”
"My vegetables are all purchased from vegetable gardens in the suburbs. How much money can I make by pouring them back and forth? If I rent a stall, the money I make in a month is not as good as sweeping the streets."
He didn't hide it.
Except for the occasional farmers from the surrounding suburbs who sell vegetables in this vegetable market, the rest are basically stalls like this. The prices of the vegetables sold may not necessarily be cheap, but they are better because they are fresh and often come with a side dish, which is why they are so popular among the people.
However, the vegetable seller was in bad luck. When the market was planning stalls, he was late. In addition, the amount of vegetables he sold was not large, so it was not cost-effective to do so.
It is really a good intention to give Song Tan advice now——
"Usually, it's quite appropriate to set up a stall here occasionally, where people don't care about officials. But girl, you can make a lot of money by selling vegetables. I was watching and my eyes were red."
He spoke half-truths and half-false words, and his words were sour.
Twenty yuan a handful, this amount can be calculated clearly by looking at it twice. Her milk vetch costs nothing, which means she makes a net profit of two to three thousand yuan a day.
It’s worth a month’s worth of food at a small stall.
Who is not jealous after seeing this?
The vegetable seller dreams every day that he can make a fortune!
“You don’t have to do anything. Just report it and someone from the law enforcement department will come to investigate tomorrow.”
As long as money is involved, there is no end to the problem, and the vegetable vendor has a clear mind.
Song Tan’s face also became serious.
To be honest, she only spends a few hours setting up stalls at a time. Half of the entire vegetable market has no fixed stalls and lasts all morning, so it should not be a hindrance.
But this kind of thing is just like what the vegetable seller said. If someone reports it, they must have found out the time and will be sure to catch it.
The vegetable seller saw that she was young and was afraid that she would not know how powerful she was. Now he glanced at Qiaoqiao who was playing bubbles stupidly, and then he continued to give instructions:
“Even if no one reports it, once the weather warms up, the city will conduct city inspections two or three times a year. Is it appropriate to park your pickup truck here?”
“Girl, you can find out for yourself.”
No need to ask, city inspections are conducted every year, including in Ningcheng.
Song Tan thanked her sincerely this time: "Thank you for the reminder!"
He turned around and stuffed another hundred yuan back: "We have been neighbors for so long, what more money do we need? I will definitely bring it to you tomorrow!"
Looked at the time again and called to Qiaoqiao: "Let's go, Qiaoqiao, go deliver food to auntie!"
The siblings drove away again in their pick-up truck. The vegetable seller looked at the money in his hand and smiled happily:
Having been selling vegetables for so long, I only realized now that our stalls are neighbors! This girl is really thick-skinned and is a business person.
Song Tan, a businessman, was still thinking about the stall while driving.
She went to work in Ningcheng after graduation. Now that she has switched from the labor system to the agricultural system, she knows no one.
But it doesn’t matter!
By the time the car stopped at the famous Jinyuewan Wholesale Market in the city, Song Tan had already successfully sent a message to the group—
Dear customers, the shop owner plans to rent a stall at the riverside market. If you know anyone, please introduce him to me! Sign the contract and you will be greatly thanked! ]
She doesn’t have any personal connections, but with so many people coming to buy groceries every day, she must know some news.
Qiaoqiao was holding a small basket, looking at the large trucks in the wholesale market with her mouth wide open, and the various piles of fruits, and exclaimed -
“It’s so big here, so big!”
Song Tan's aunt Wu Fang and Zhang Hong had a shop here, specializing in fruit wholesale.
Fruit wholesale is not an easy career. It is hard work to get up early and come home late to collect the goods, and to move and carry them.
But the aunt and his wife are honest. Although they didn’t make as much money as others at the beginning, they have gained some reputation over the years, and their life is pretty good now. Song Tan followed the address he mentioned before and found it. Qiao Qiao followed obediently behind him. Seeing the completely different style from other buildings, he looked much more excited.
“Sister, there are so many fruits!”
"Um."
“Can I eat every day if I live here?”
"Um."
“Then can Qiaoqiao live here?”
"Um... no." Song Tan looked at him: "You have to pay to eat here. Do you have money?"
Qiaoqiao stopped being stupid now and looked at her eagerly: "I have... a salary!"
Song Tan showed him his fingers: "You dug a vegetable garden yesterday, it cost fifty yuan. Today I will accompany my sister to sell vegetables, it costs fifty yuan."
“A total of one hundred yuan. You have to raise your three puppies, and buy toys and Peppa Pig stickers for yourself. You also have to pay for snacks yourself—Qiao Qiao, that’s not enough!”
Qiao Qiao is not worried: "I will dig a vegetable garden when I go back today! There will be more and more!"
This silly boy.
Song Tan was helpless—this can’t be justified without coaxing, right?
“Okay, let’s plant some pickles when we get back. You’ve dug the vegetable garden, and we’ll plant it at night.”
Pakchoi, Chinese cabbage, which can be planted densely, can be used in the vegetable garden first.
As he was talking, a [Dahong Fruit Wholesale] store appeared in front of him. A couple at the door were carrying fruits on a truck!
"Auntie!" Song Tan called out, and without waiting for her to respond, she went straight to the car and said, "I'll help you with whatever you need to move!"
Qiaoqiao has stood under the car skillfully.
The aunt is also not tall, but her body is thinner than Ulan. She is wearing old clothes at the moment, and her face is full of surprise: "Why is Tantan back? Get down quickly, get down quickly, this fruit is heavy, you can't carry it-"
Auntie’s words are stuck.
Because in front of Song Tan, there was a basket of fruits and he handed it over. Qiao Qiao quickly took it and stood aside.
The two of them are very skilled in working together. If you didn’t know better, you would think that they specialize in this field!
Uncle Zhang Hong came out of the warehouse and was shocked when he saw it: "Oh, you two, I don't need your help. Come down quickly and I'll get you two oranges!"
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, the uncle became anxious and pulled out a grapefruit from the side: "Qiaoqiao, come here, uncle will break the fruit for you."
Qiaoqiao turned around. He didn’t like eating grapefruits because the grapefruits Wulan bought in the village during the New Year were very sour:
“No, I have to work.”
Sister said, making money is difficult. He can earn fifty yuan today, so he can't be lazy.
Song Tan took a look at the goods on the cart - because in the early spring, everyone's desire to consume has decreased, so there are no particularly expensive fruits on the cart, and the cherries that are booming at the end of the year are nowhere to be seen. The only ones that are more expensive are domestically produced ones. Big cherry.
She thought of the mountainous area at home. She ignored it for the time being this year and only used the chestnut forest. But if it develops for a long time, it cannot be wasted there.
What fruits should be planted?
There is still something left, so let’s write it during the day.
As for how much to write...well, I'll try my best!
Thank you everyone!
