Before Li Yuan talked about the benefits of tomatoes, many aunts and aunts who also came to buy vegetables stopped to watch. Seeing this man took a bite of a tomato, his expression changed and he didn't speak, so the anxious onlookers couldn't help but ask, "How does it taste?"
"Delicious!" The aunt who tasted the tomatoes came back to her senses and gave everyone a thumbs up and said, "It tastes really good. I have never eaten such a delicious tomato in my life!"
As soon as the aunt uttered these words, the people around her were naturally amazed. If it weren't for everyone buying vegetables here every day and looking familiar to each other, some people would definitely think that she was invited by Li Yuan.
Since there is no such possibility, it can only show that Li Yuan's tomatoes are really extraordinary. Seeing Li Yuan's first customer, smiling and leaving with a tomato in his mouth, the others couldn't hold back any longer and flocked to Li Yuan to buy his tomatoes.
"Young man, I want two catties."
"Weigh two catties for me!"
"I want five catties."
"Give me ten catties!"
Aunts and aunts are like this when they buy things, and they like to join in the fun. As long as one person starts, the others will not be far behind. What's more, some people have proved that the tomatoes are really good, so they are naturally more interested in buying them.
As for the price of tomatoes, although it is indeed a bit high, it is not unacceptable. Everyone is willing to spend money on food these days, as long as the food is good, expensive is not a problem.
"Okay, okay, okay, everyone take your time!" Li Yuan was of course very happy to see everyone's enthusiasm for buying. While comforting the customers rushing to buy tomatoes, he quickly weighed and collected the money, and then greeted the next customer, very busy.
Because Li Yuan's tomatoes look good, the size, shape and color are almost the same, and there are no spots or other scars on the surface, so there is nothing to choose. Although those aunts and aunts were picky, they had no objection to Li Yuan's sales method.
Everyone who bought tomatoes had a happy face when they squeezed out from the crowd, as if they had picked up some great bargains. There are also impatient people who taste the tomatoes on the spot after buying them. And their reactions were similar to those of the first aunt who bought tomatoes. They all showed disbelief, and said to the people around them: delicious, this tomato tastes really good!
This situation was the best advertisement for Li Yuanlai. His tricycle was soon surrounded by water, and everyone wanted to buy a few catties of "tomatoes cultivated with high technology in the United States" and give them to his family to try.
Li Yuan also underestimated the buying enthusiasm of aunts and aunts. He didn't expect tomatoes to be so popular. But for him, this is of course a good thing, so he also wants to seize this opportunity and sell all the tomatoes as soon as possible. Not long after Li Yuan made his first sale, the tomatoes on the tricycle were reduced by half, and more than 100 catties had been sold.
However, the busy Li Yuan didn't notice that several vegetable vendors were looking at him with gloomy expressions nearby. These people are all in the same group, and they can be regarded as "veteran qualifications" in the vegetable market. They sell vegetables wholesale from the suburbs almost every day.
Because they are all fellow villagers, and there are quite a few of them, they began to bully and dominate the market after a long time. Not only do they occupy the best stalls, but they also don't allow others to sell at a lower price than them. Otherwise, this group of people will go to make trouble with others at least to make them unable to do business, and at worst, they will use their hands and feet, and it is commonplace to beat others up.
These people also sold tomatoes at their stalls. They saw Li Yuan, an unfamiliar face, set the price of tomatoes so high, so they naturally didn't bother to care about them. But right now Li Yuan's tomatoes are not only sold at a high price, but the business is still so good, these people are jealous.
They exchanged glances, deliberating whether to drive the newcomer away before he would steal their business. But after all, the vegetable market is not run by these few people, and they can't do whatever they want, so they didn't make up their minds to attack Li Yuan for a while.
While these few people were hesitating, Li Yuan's business was still too good, and the remaining half of the tomato was sold out in a short time. When Li Yuan put the last tomato in a plastic bag and handed it to the smiling customers, there were still several people queuing behind.
Li Yuan said apologetically to the few customers who didn't get the tomatoes: "I'm sorry everyone, they're all sold out."
"Oh, I've been waiting in line for a long time, but I still haven't bought one!" An aunt asked Li Yuan regretfully, "Will there be any more of these tomatoes? I want to buy some for my grandson to try."
Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, "I can't say that, it depends on the situation."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, the few people who hadn't bought tomatoes all left disappointed.
Now that the tomatoes are all sold out, Li Yuan has no reason to stay, so naturally he rode a tricycle and left the vegetable market under the envious eyes of those vegetable vendors.
There is a secluded path not far from the vegetable market. Li Yuan parked his tricycle under a big tree and began to count today's harvest.
Except for a few hundred-yuan bills, most of the money in Li Yuan's pockets was small bills. But don't underestimate these small change, there is an old saying that "gather sand to form a tower", no matter how you say small change is money, as long as the quantity is enough, it is also a lot of money.
So when Li Yuan finished counting the last few coins, he was also very happy, and couldn't help muttering to himself in a low voice: "Aha, there are more than a thousand coins, and this money is really good money!"
For Li Yuan, more than one thousand yuan is indeed a lot of money. What's more, this money does not require any cost at all, that is, it is a net profit. What Li Yuan pays is only a gold pearl and his own labor. As long as there are gold beads in the peach pit, Li Yuan can easily earn a lot of money, this is what really makes him happy.
"When the ginseng grows, it will be a lot of money. Hey, my buddy's happy life is about to begin!" Looking forward to a better life in the future, Li Yuan rode his bicycle home.
Although he had been busy for a whole morning, Li Yuan didn't feel tired at all due to his joyful mood. He rode the tricycle fast along the way, and returned to the alley where he lived in a short time.
However, as soon as the tricycle turned into the alley, Li Yuan saw a few men about his age approaching not far ahead, and couldn't help but frowned and sighed secretly: "Unlucky, why did I meet these guys!"
At the same time, the people on the opposite side also saw Li Yuan, and one of them, with burnt yellow hair and a cigarette in his mouth, immediately shouted: "Isn't this the boy from the Li family? I'll come over!"
This guy's words made Li Yuan's heart skip a beat, knowing that he couldn't escape today.
