Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 272: 271. The happiness of Lao Zhao, the vegetable vendor

Views:

Riverside vegetable market.

The vegetable vendor, Lao Zhao, unexpectedly did not set up his stall today. Instead, he just started wandering around the big market in a pair of slippers.

"What's the matter?" Someone called him, "Now that you've become rich, you don't want to do business anymore?"

Old Zhao snorted and laughed: "Are you jealous? I can't help it. The girl and I are sworn brothers, and she calls my daughter niece!"

Pooh.

His colleagues were very disdainful: "Everyone knows that your daughter followed the girl home and got several pictures. You have to pay for it to get in touch with her."

"Nonsense!" The vegetable vendor can be killed, but the girl cannot be insulted: "My girl's picture costs money!"

Who would have thought that the colleague who had known you for more than ten years would now speak bitterly: "If you really needed enough money, why would they give you the business? Don't you want the free money?"

Lao Zhao got the wholesale of the girl who was selling expensive vegetables.

Everyone in the entire vegetable market knew about this, and their eyes were red with jealousy.

"Why don't you want free money?!"

The vegetable vendors were all anxious.

Song Tan looked like he was obsessed with money, so how could he be allowed to take advantage of him? He paid 20 yuan for the wholesale price, and he didn't pay a penny less.

But just as Song Tan said, it is true that if you buy 100 kilograms, you get 20 kilograms for free. He bought 300 kilograms in wholesale the other day, and apart from the loss and the high weight, he lost 50 kilograms.

The first time it opened, all of them were sold out.

Wow, I got 1,000 yuan, and this is the first time I’ve kept it myself!

The only pity is that this little girl is too cunning. She refused to include the large quantities in her quota and only asked him to help bring them over...

Look, Xiao Feng, who sells steamed buns, asked for 20 kilograms at once, but it had nothing to do with him.

But can he tell other people in the vegetable market about this business trick

No. You have to keep it to yourself whether you make a profit or a loss, otherwise you will be afraid that someone will do something bad to you out of the blue.

The reason why Old Zhao came out to hang around now was not because he despised the little money he could make from selling vegetables at the stall, but purely because of his daughter's suggestion:

He said he had been setting up stalls outside for half his life. Now that he was old, he should at least rent a storefront. The place didn’t have to be good or big, just paint the walls white would be fine.

When she, as a daughter, finds a boyfriend, it is two different things to tell others whether her father sets up a stall in the vegetable market or runs a shop in the vegetable market.

In fact, Old Zhao also knew that Zhao Fangyuan said this purely out of concern for him having to work in the wind and rain. In addition, he now had to run on mountain roads at night, and he was afraid that it would be too tiring for him to look after the stall. At least having a store would protect him from the wind and rain, and he could sit or lie down and rest when he was free.

The vegetable vendor thought: That’s right!

He has now taken over Song Tan's business, earning one thousand eight hundred yuan a day. Even if he only does business a few times a month, it is easier and he earns more than his previous job selling vegetables.

In this case, it’s not impossible to set up a storefront.

What a pity, even though this riverside vegetable market sells cheap things, the space is very tight, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to rent even a regular stall in the market.

However, after walking around the vegetable market for a while, I found a corner where a children's clothing store had a sign saying "For Rent" on its door.

Holy shit! What is this called

No matter how hard you try, you still can’t find it!

The target customers of those who sell children's clothing here are the old ladies and old men who are reluctant to spend money. However, in recent years, every household has developed skills in raising children, and the children's clothing stores are offering more discounts than each other. They also have fashionable designs, so the simple children's clothing in his vegetable market is not worth mentioning.

Not to mention that this store is located in a remote corner, where most people can't even get in.

If the vegetable seller was here, the vegetables would rot and probably no customers would come here.

In the past, vegetable vendors in places like this wouldn’t even look at the food and would not accept it even if it was given to them for free.

But things are different now.

When Song Tan used to sell vegetables, wherever his pickup truck parked, that was the center of wealth.

He took over Song Tan's business a few days ago. Whoever she sent her location and contact in the group would become the most popular guy in the vegetable market.

Just for those dishes, now we just need to reserve a place here in the future. Do we still have to worry about people not being able to find it

What's more, the front of the children's clothing store is a narrow shop, where you can set up a tent and sell fruits.

There is a small warehouse inside, where you can put a recliner or store more vegetables. It is not a problem to pull two large freezers over.

This location isn't a good place to sell children's clothing, but it's definitely okay to sell vegetables!

Lao Zhao stepped forward and asked: "How do you rent this house?"

He was a familiar face in the vegetable market. I didn't recognize him as the one selling children's clothing, but he looked familiar. He had a sad face and said, "Brother, you decide what to give me. What do you think my store is worth?"

Lao Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "I think 20,000 a year is not enough. If it's more, I won't do it."

"good!"

The young man immediately made the decision: "Let's do as you said, 20,000 a year, but I have a condition, we start in three years!"

Good fellow, Lao Zhao was 100% happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, and now he jumped up in shock:

"I just want to find a place to rest my feet in this remote place of yours, why does it take at least three years?!"

The other party also had a sad face: "It's only 20,000 yuan a year because this place is not good, otherwise any store in the vegetable market would be several times more. Brother, this is my own house. If you want to rent it for three years, we don't talk about the transfer fee, okay?"

"It's just a small corner. It's your own home, and you're still negotiating a transfer fee with me?"

After a lot of singing, reciting, acting and strutting, Lao Zhao finally dragged the man to the market management office to sign the contract amid the other party's impatient look.

At this moment, one of them was looking at the transfer on his mobile phone, while the other was looking at the contract in his hand, and they were both smiling very politely.

The vegetable vendor couldn't wait to call Zhao Fangyuan:

"My daughter, we have chosen a place. Come and show Dad what we are going to design."

Zhao Fangyuan didn't expect her father to become like this so quickly.

She asked her father to rent a storefront, thinking that she would only do this half-day work every day and rest the rest of the time.

I didn’t expect that after setting up a store, her father even thought of using good vegetables to attract customers, while he himself was selling some fruits and other vegetables... How could this work? !

She analyzed seriously: "Don't think about it, we will focus on fine dishes from now on."

"Ordinary vegetables are everywhere in the market. It doesn't matter who you buy them from. Why do you have to go to your remote place where it's hard to park cars and people to get in?"

"And there are fruits. Look ahead. How many stalls are selling them? Since you have rented a storefront, let's build a good reputation."

"When it comes to food, the whole market admires you, Old Zhao. Wouldn't it sound good if you could tell others about it? It would make you look so proud."

"If you ask me, let's paint this shop, install some lights, and I'll buy you a recliner. You go to buy vegetables in the early morning, and hire two people to help tidy up in this small warehouse in the morning. When there are customers in the market, you can start selling vegetables in the morning."

"After we finish selling, we will close the stall and go home, sleep, rest, take a walk, play cards or chess... anything is fine."

This life sounds like an extraordinary enjoyment.

Old Zhao is not a very hardworking person, but now he is shamelessly moved.
