Chapter 534: Counterattack! loser! (8)
Linglu water spray can not only effectively remove pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables, but also penetrate into the skin of fruits and vegetables, making the vegetables taste better than before.
However, it is limited to cucumbers, tomatoes, or leafy vegetables such as lettuce with thin and crisp skins. Thick-skinned vegetables such as gourds, pumpkins, winter melons, and lettuce can only eliminate pesticide residues and will not play a big role in the taste.
Therefore, when purchasing goods today, Xu Yin encouraged Ms. Xu to buy more cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and water spinach, and reduced the wholesale quantity of thick-skinned vegetables.
You can grow your own thick-skinned vegetables such as pumpkins, winter melons, and gourds if you want to eat them.
The old ladies bought their favorite vegetables and happily went home to make dinner.
Xu Wanping put the money into the box and sighed: "Is the quality of the vegetables purchased in the past two days really so good? Why do you buy them in three to five kilograms? I don't think the purchase price has increased!"
“Lady boss!”
At this time, several more customers came, all young office workers who bought cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce from her yesterday.
“Boss lady, I want a handful of lettuce, four tomatoes, and two cucumbers.”
“Boss lady, I want a handful of water spinach and two cucumbers.”
“Help me weigh two tomatoes and a handful of water spinach.”
“I want four cucumbers and four tomatoes.”
“Okay, okay! Come one by one!”
Xu Wanping temporarily put aside what she had not thought about and focused on greeting customers.
Xu Yin stood nearby, handing her mother a plastic bag and some change. From time to time, she sprayed the vegetable babies on the stall and fed them some spiritual dew.
People have a herd mentality. When they see Xu Wanping’s vegetable stall with a steady stream of people buying food, passers-by will stop to see if there is anything they want to buy, and if so, they will squat down to pick.
Water's leaf vegetables, red tomatoes, fresh and thorny cucumbers, green full sweet beans ... Compared with other vegetable stalls, it seems that Xu Wanping's vegetables here are better and the dishes are stronger.
Business started just like that.
The stall next door also sells vegetables. The stall owner is a lady in her sixties, surnamed Liu. Seeing that Xu Wanping arrived more than a quarter of an hour later than usual, but the business was better than usual, she couldn't help but come over and ask:
"Xiao Xu, where did you wholesale the vegetables these two days? They look so good and they sell so fast."
When this lady first came to set up a stall at the night market, she saw that Xu Wanping’s vegetable stall was doing well, so she deliberately set up her stall next to her. She pretended that the vegetables were wholesaled nearby, but she pretended to have grown them herself. For this reason, she stole many customers from Xu Wanping.
Xu Wanping was so angry that she couldn't sleep for several nights. Even though a long time had passed, she didn't want to talk to the other party. She simply said: "It's still the same place."
Seeing that she refused to elaborate, Aunt Liu curled her lips angrily and cursed a lot in her heart. Finally, she thought: Isn’t it the wholesale market in the south of the city? It’s not like she can’t find it.
She put out two baskets of vegetables, but today they were sold out a whole hour later than Xu Wanping. In the past, she had closed the stall earlier than Xu Wanping, which made her feel aggrieved just thinking about it.
When I got home, I woke up my son who played games vigorously at night and slept until dark during the day: "A Ming, get up and eat. Don't stay up late playing games today. Go to bed early. At three or four tomorrow morning, you will drive your mother to the wholesale market in the south of the city. vegetable."
Her son is thirty years old this year, but there is no definite conclusion yet. The job was not settled, and the partner failed again, so I stayed at home playing games all day long. If her son was promising, would she still set up a stall and compete with the younger ones for business at her age?
"It can't be sold now!" Aunt Liu said angrily, "Many people go to the old bitch's vegetable stall next door to buy. The goods she buys from the south of the city are really good-looking. Let's go to the south of the city too. Otherwise, my food will be sold in the future. The stalls are out of business, and they have all been snatched away by bitches!” Even though Aunt Liu’s son was very reluctant, he thought that he had no job and relied on his parents to support him, so he could help his mother to go to the wholesale market to buy some goods, which would save money. She is always nagging that she only eats and does not work.
How is it possible for a person who is used to playing games to suddenly stop playing games and go to bed early and get up early?
Aunt Liu was woken up by the alarm clock. She got up and called her son. Her son was still playing games in front of the computer.
“Wait a while, wait a while, wait until I have a good time.”
Aunt Liu had to do other things first, and came to urge him again at half past three.
“Don’t rush me! It’ll be ready soon!”
Aunt Liu is helpless, but neither she nor her husband can drive, so she has to rely on her son to run long distances.
We waited until early four o'clock before going out.
In that compartment, Xu Yin and Xu Wanping came out of the wholesale market.
The entrances and exits are through different openings, so they do not touch each other.
Aunt Liu didn't see Xu Wanping in the wholesale market, so she went to each wholesale station and asked: "There is a fair and thin woman, about thirty years old. Is she from your family?"
The wholesalers were too busy to deal with her problems. In the end, the couple had no choice but to pick a random one and carry out a few bags of vegetables.
“It’s not in vain, the price is indeed cheaper than the wholesale stores in the city.” Aunt Liu said with a smile.
Her son yawned and said impatiently: "With this price difference, I might as well buy it wholesale near home. The gas fee for the round trip is not enough."
Seeing that her son was very angry, Mrs. Liu twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing more.
Xu Wanping listened to her daughter this time and only bought cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and water spinach, each in a large package. This way, the purchase price was cheaper.
In the past, in order to have more varieties of vegetables on the stalls to attract customers, we either bought unpacked vegetables or combined them with other vendors. The unpacked vegetables were slightly more expensive than the whole package.
But these two days, the cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy vegetables at her vegetable stall were particularly popular. The sales of winter melons, gourds, and loofahs were average. She simply listened to her daughter and only sold these best-selling vegetables. Winter melons were heavy, and they were heavy. It's not easy to sell, so I won't buy it at all.
I want to eat it, but my daughter asked her to plant it.
But Xu Wanping was very doubtful: "Yin Yin, can you grow? Our family has never grown vegetables by ourselves, and we have never raised a few pots of flowers and plants."
Over the years, I have planted a pot of green onions and a pot of cactus at home.
The planting onion is not all to eat at home, and occasionally gives one for the old customers who often patronize her vegetable stalls to maintain the relationship;
I planted cactus because my daughter contracted mumps when she was in fifth grade. I heard from a neighbor that wrapping the cactus flesh in gauze and applying it to her cheeks helped reduce swelling.
So she spent ten yuan to buy a pot of cactus, but after applying it twice, her cheeks were still severely swollen and it didn’t work at all, so she eventually went to the hospital. The remaining half of the cactus has survived until now. But that’s because the cactus needs no care to survive, and the flowers would have withered long ago if they were repotted.
“You were not even willing to water the onions before, but you really know how to take care of them after planting vegetables?” Why did Xu Wanping not believe that her daughter could grow vegetables? It would be better not to waste the seeds.
Xu Yin sent her to the morning market where stalls were set up and waved her hand: "Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of them!"
