Shocked by Li Yuan's words, Niu Guoqiang hurriedly asked cautiously, "What else do you want?"
"You can all go..." Li Yuan gave Niu Guoqiang a serious look, then quickly put on a smiling face and said, "But I have to pay for the two tomatoes just now, a total of four and five yuan, thank you!"
"Ah?!" Niu Guoqiang and the others were not used to Li Yuan's rapid change of style, and were stunned for a moment. But Niu Guoqiang came to his senses very quickly, quickly took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to Li Yuan respectfully, and was about to leave.
However, Li Yuan stopped Niu Guoqiang again and gave him five yuan in change.
Niu Guoqiang was a little puzzled, looked at the money in his hand and asked tentatively: "This is..."
"This is money from you." Li Yuan said as a matter of course: "I am a well-behaved businessman. I won't take any money I shouldn't make, and I won't bully the market like you."
"Yes, yes, you taught me the right lesson." Niu Guoqiang naturally said yes, and then left in despair with his accomplices.
As soon as Niu Guoqiang and the others left, the spectators immediately rushed up and continued to snap up Li Yuan's tomatoes. Everyone heard what Li Yuan said before, so the enthusiasm for buying is even higher than before. After all, everyone likes to do business with well-behaved businessmen, so it is not easy to suffer losses.
Li Yuan is naturally busier than before, and he couldn't help but secretly happy in his heart while taking care of the guests: "Five yuan can change a good reputation, it's worth it!"
Niu Guoqiang and others walked a certain distance, looking at Li Yuan who was surrounded by customers again, all of them had serious expressions. Niu Guoqiang looked even more gloomy. What happened just now made him very ashamed. Especially being seen by so many people, Niu Guoqiang is worried that other "competitors" will follow suit in the future and will no longer take himself seriously.
Just when Niu Guoqiang was feeling depressed, one of his accomplices came up and whispered: "Brother Niu, we can't cure that kid, but Old Wang can! I've been offering him delicious food and drink for so long, now it's time to send him some food." Use it!"
What this guy said lifted Niu Guoqiang's spirits, and he quickly said to the others: "Yes, let's go to Lao Wang, let's go!"
Of course, Li Yuan didn't know that Niu Guoqiang actually moved to rescue soldiers, and he was still dealing with enthusiastic customers. This time, the sales of tomatoes were even faster. In less than an hour, more than 300 catties of tomatoes were almost sold out.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came to Li Yuan and said loudly, "Young man, I will take care of all the remaining tomatoes!"
Li Yuan was also a little surprised by this statement, knowing that there were more than 50 catties of tomatoes on the tricycle, the tone of this middle-aged man was not small. Although tomatoes are delicious, they are not necessities of life after all, and the price is really not cheap. It’s okay to buy a three to five catties and go back to try something new, but buy more than 50 catties and go back to eat as a meal
So Li Yuan stopped what he was doing, looked up at the middle-aged man and said, "Friend, are you sure you want to buy that much?"
"That's right, I want it all." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You sell it for three yuan a catty now, right? I'll give you five yuan, and sell it all to me!"
The middle-aged man took out the money while talking, and urged Li Yuan: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up and weigh it!"
At this time, the aunt who was the first to buy Li Yuan's tomatoes also came, and introduced the middle-aged man to him with a smile: "Young man, this is my son, and he works as a chef in Xinghualou. Fifty catties of tomatoes are only 100 pounds." Enough for their hotel for a day, I'm not kidding you!"
The middle-aged man also smiled and said to Li Yuan: "Little brother, my name is Liu Yuebing, and I work in the kitchen of Xinghualou. Speaking of which, your tomatoes are amazing. After I tasted your tomatoes, I was shocked. I know there are tomatoes with such a good taste in this world! Since you are here again this time, of course I want to buy some for the hotel kitchen!"
Liu Yuebing really didn't lie to Li Yuan, he is indeed the chef of Xinghualou. The last time Liu Yuebing's mother bought Li Yuan's tomatoes, he immediately fell in love with them after tasting them.
As an experienced chef, Liu Yuebing is very optimistic about this tomato with excellent appearance and better taste, and he wants to use it in his own dishes. That's why he told his mother that if he saw Li Yuan selling tomatoes again, he must notify himself immediately.
Today Liu Yuebing's mother saw Li Yuan again, and immediately called her son, who also came in a hurry. However, Li Yuan's tomatoes were so popular that when Liu Yuebing arrived, there were only about 50 catties left. In desperation, he immediately claimed that he had bought them all, and even offered to raise the price.
After confirming that Liu Yuebing was not joking with himself, Li Yuan certainly would not refuse his proposal. After comforting the other customers who didn't get the tomatoes with good words, Li Yuan quickly weighed the remaining tomatoes, and said to Liu Yuebing with a smile, "Mr. Liu, the total is forty-eight catties, let's count it forty!"
"Don't call me Mr. Liu, I'm a rough person, others call me Mr. It sounds awkward!" Liu Yuebing said with a smile: "I'm a few years older than you, if you think highly of me, just call me Brother Liu."
Now that Liu Yuebing has said that, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Liu, then I will not be polite."
"Well, it's comfortable to hear." Liu Yuebing was very satisfied with Li Yuan's address, but quickly frowned and said, "But with so many tomatoes, it's not easy for me to get them back to the restaurant..."
Li Yuan has always been very clever, so he immediately continued: "What's the problem, I'll send you directly to Xinghualou!"
Seeing that Li Yuan was so willing to help, Liu Yuebing smiled even wider, and said a little embarrassedly: "This... is too much trouble for you, right?"
"It's okay, anyway, Xinghualou is not too far away, and I'm young, so it's not a big deal at all." Li Yuan said politely, and planned to send the tomatoes to Xinghualou by bike.
However, at this time, Niu Guoqiang and others who had just left came back again. The difference from last time was that they were surrounded by the red cuffs that charged the management fee, and all of them had arrogant expressions on their faces, as if they were looking for trouble.
Surrounded by the crowd, the red cuffs looked like "I am number one in the world". They came to Li Yuan's three rounds and said coldly, "What did you do? Why did you make trouble in the market? How dare you beat someone, It's against you!"
When Li Yuan saw the situation, he knew that the red sleeves were here to support Niu Guoqiang and others. Since this is the case, he will not be polite to the guy, and immediately said coldly: "Please clarify the matter first, it is obvious that they came to hinder my business first, I just stopped them from making trouble. How come you are here? If I hit someone, this group of people have nothing wrong with it?"
The red sleeve hoop didn't listen to Li Yuan's words at all. Instead, he stared at him and said, "The old man in this market has the final say. Don't talk to me about it. If you say you beat someone, you beat someone! Now take your belongings and get out of here." , you are not allowed to do business again in the future!"
