Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

But this is pork, so it is understandable that the price is a bit higher. After all, people cannot live without meat forever, especially now that conditions are better.

But the vegetables are so expensive, and Mr. Jin feels that the target audience is very small.

A pound of cucumbers only has about one and a half cucumbers at most, which means half a watermelon costs one dollar. How many people are willing to spend so much money to buy it?

Xu Wanning comforted Teacher Jin: "Don't worry, our vegetables will only be snapped up if we put them out, there will be buyers."

While speaking, Xu Wanning also wrote a sentence on the cardboard with the price.

Each person is limited to purchasing two kilograms of each item.

When Teacher Jin saw this line of words, he felt a darkness before his eyes.

She is still worried that so many fresh fruits and vegetables might not be sold, but Xu Wanning is so kind as to impose a purchase limit?

What if it rots in the ground?

"That's not a big deal. At worst, I can just buy them all in the name of Xu's shop and restaurant."

Teacher Jin knew that he could not persuade Xu Wanning, so he could only let her write on the cardboard, covering his chest with his hands and breathing heavily.

Xu Wanning fixed the cardboard and opened the door.

There were several small tables at the door, with four kinds of dishes placed in baskets.

Xu Wanning put the vegetables aside and said loudly, "These are fresh vegetables grown by our Huaqing University research team using greenhouse planting technology. We are the first in Beijing to be able to eat vegetables in the cold winter, so the price will be relatively expensive."

"Also, the quantity is limited. Each person can only buy two kilograms of each type. We won't sell more than that, so that people in the queue behind can buy it. Please queue up in an orderly manner. We can start selling now!"

Teacher Jin was very nervous, afraid that people would think the price was too high and leave.

But what surprised her was that although the long queue outside was a bit noisy, no one left. They were just urging the people in front to buy quickly.

Are vegetables really not expensive at three or four yuan per pound?

The person first in line asked for eight kilograms, two kilograms of each.

"Boss Xu, vegetables are not like the cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative. They can't be weighed accurately to the extent that they can give you as much as you want. I've taken two cucumbers now. What if they weigh more than two kilograms? You can't ask me to cut the cucumbers in half, right?"

Xu Wanning really ignored this problem.

She only considered the purchase restrictions and did not consider the issue of weight.

So Xu Wanning silently changed the words on the cardboard.

Limit two of each type per person.

Two cucumbers, two tomatoes, and two eggplants.

As for the lettuce, it comes in a whole nest without being separated, and each person can buy a maximum of two nests.

Every vegetable is very beautiful, even prettier than those bought in season, so there is no need to pick and choose.

The first person in line took two cucumbers, two tomatoes and two eggplants, and picked the two largest bunches of lettuce.

When weighed, the cucumbers weighed 2.2 jin, the tomatoes weighed 1.2 jin, the eggplants weighed 2.4 jin, and the lettuce weighed 4 jin.

"After calculating this, I'm still a little bit at a loss. I can still buy another tomato and at least another six baskets of lettuce! Boss Xu, how about I..."

Xu Wanning pointed at the large words on the cardboard and said, "We decided on it at the beginning, so we can't change it easily, otherwise the customers waiting in line behind us won't be able to buy it."

Hearing this, the customer first in line had no choice but to pay and left happily.

It was fifteen dollars and sixty cents in total, and he only bought these few things, but he seemed to have gotten a great bargain, and the smile on his face was almost overflowing.

It would be fine if he was the only one like this, but unfortunately, the people in the queue behind him were the same.

Everyone who bought vegetables left with a smile on their face.

Teacher Jin really didn't understand. According to the weight of each vegetable, one person spent at most 17 yuan, which is equivalent to half a month's salary for many people, to buy vegetables that the whole family could only eat one or two meals at most.

Why can they still laugh so happily?

You know, if you spend 17 yuan on meat, you can buy at least 7 or 8 kilograms of meat, which is enough for the whole family to have three delicious meals and still have some left over.

Could it be that she has been immersed in studying greenhouse cultivation and has not had contact with people outside for too long, so she doesn't quite understand everyone's mental state?

Although he was very confused, Teacher Jin did not ask in front of the people in line, but silently helped Xu Wanning.

The store opened at eight in the morning, and by eleven, all three vegetables except lettuce had been sold out.

There were at least twenty or thirty people in the queue behind me, so I could only buy lettuce.

"Boss Xu, will there be any cucumbers for sale tomorrow?"

"Yes, we have them on sale every day recently until they are sold out."

"Then I have to line up early tomorrow, or I can only eat lettuce!"

"You're lucky. At least you can buy two nests of lettuce. I guess by the time the line gets to me, there won't even be any lettuce left. Oh!"

One can only hope the line will be shorter tomorrow.

Before twelve o'clock, all the dishes were sold out.

Xu Wanning apologized to the person behind her and closed the door in front of her.

She stretched and said to Teacher Jin, "Teacher Jin, I'd like to trouble you to count the total amount of money here and calculate it. After all the vegetables are sold, this money will be our research funding for the new year."

Xu Wanning said from the beginning that she would not keep a single cent of the money earned from growing vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse, and would donate it all to the research team of Huaqing University.

The research team grew this batch of vegetables with the research funds provided by the money Xu Wanning earned from selling strawberries in the summer.

Teacher Jin counted the money carefully, not leaving out a single penny.

"Eight hundred and ninety-seven... We actually sold eight hundred and ninety-seven dollars in this morning!"

It’s just a little bit away from breaking through 900 yuan!

This number amazed Teacher Jin.

Xu Wanning was used to it. "I estimate that the daily income has been about the same these days. After all, there are only a limited number of mature vegetables. When they arrive in large quantities in a few days, I estimate that we will sell even more."

A conservative estimate is that it can definitely be sold for 60,000 yuan.

With these 60,000 yuan, we will have research funds for at least the first half of next year!

Xu Wanning's plan is to overcome the difficulties next year and strive to have more varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables next year so that everyone can improve.

Teacher Jin carefully put the money away and then asked his question.

"With 16 or 17 yuan, you can only buy a few kilograms of vegetables, but you can buy several kilograms of meat. Compared with meat, vegetables are not delicious at all. Why do people rush to buy vegetables?"

Xu Wanning explained patiently: "Because, people who are willing to spend a dozen dollars to buy vegetables actually have enough meat at home."

Not to mention that they eat meat every day at home, eating it every other day is nothing to them.
