Chapter 29 Sending Cucumbers
Song Haixia nodded her head like a pound of garlic, smiling like a flower. It was great, she could go out and make some money again! She loved the feeling of counting money in bed at night!
The two of them soon arrived at the family quarters. The houses here were built uniformly and were welfare housing. They could be bought for less than half the price, so most people who lived here had spare money.
They found an intersection and started hawking their wares. I don’t know if they found the wrong place, but there were very few people passing by at this intersection, and they were all in a hurry. The few people who occasionally passed by were scared by the prices and just waved their hands and walked away.
"Second brother, it's been the whole morning and we haven't sold anything. Why don't we go back to the hospital to sell them? I think there will be people who will buy them." Song Haixia sat on the bench, holding her cheek with her hand, with a worried look on her face.
Song Ye shook his head. "There are only a few people there. We can just go and sell for a while at night. We can't waste such a long time during the day."
"Then why don't we lower the price? Is it too expensive?"
Song Ye set the price at two yuan per pound for green vegetables, one yuan for large fruits, fifty cents for smaller ones, and three yuan for a bunch of grapes. Song Haixia thought that only someone with a brain injury would buy at this price!
Song Ye patted her head lovingly and explained to her very patiently, "Our fruits and vegetables are of very good quality. We are positioned as high-end fruits and vegetables, and our target customers are also wealthy people."
"If we sell at a low price now and the positioning is unstable, we won't be able to raise the price in the future, and neither side will benefit. So even if we can't sell a pound, it's better to take it home and eat it yourself than to ruin our reputation."
"Oh..." Song Haixia nodded. Although she didn't quite understand what was said, she seemed to understand a little.
Song Ye smiled calmly, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, just like when we were selling oranges yesterday, as long as we opened a gap, people would immediately help us promote it spontaneously."
"Okay then!" Song Haixia decided to listen to him.
Song Ye looked at the sun and said, "It's almost noon now. You must be hungry. What do you want to eat? How about we go get something good?"
Song Haixia rolled her eyes and said, "Second brother, did you forget that you have no money in your pocket?"
Song Ye rubbed her hair, "What's the matter? You don't want to treat your second brother to a meal? It's settled, let's go get some barbecue!"
Song Haixia pouted and followed Song Ye to a barbecue restaurant reluctantly. She felt bad because she would have to take out her little piggy bank.
This shop does very good business. The men are eating skewers, bragging, and quarreling. Each of them has a bottle of Big Green Stick and drinks from it. There are a few old chain smokers who smoke one cigarette after another. The room is very choking and even the air is blue.
Song Haixia sat down with her nose covered with a scarf. She had been in poor health since childhood, and the smell of smoke made her feel even more uncomfortable. Even breathing became difficult for her.
Song Ye ordered some skewers and a big bowl of dumpling soup. He didn't order any wine because he had to go sell things later.
"Sister, do you want anything else?" Song Ye asked.
Song Haixia shook her head. What else could she eat? She just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"That's all," Song Ye said to the waiter.
"Wait a moment." The waiter responded and went to the kitchen to deliver the order.
The skewers came up very quickly. This restaurant is quite affordable. The lamb skewers were big, with three pieces of lean lamb and two pieces of lamb tail fat. They were grilled with a sizzling aroma that made people's mouths water.
Song Ye picked up one and started eating. It tasted really good. Seeing how delicious he was eating, Song Haixia swallowed her saliva and started eating too.
Well, it’s so sweet!
They both ate until their mouths were drooling, but although this thing tasted good, you would feel sick of it if you ate a few more skewers.
Seeing that Song Haixia was eating slower and slower, Song Ye took out a cucumber from his bag and said, "Come on, sister, eat this to relieve your greasiness."
Song Haixia was feeling a little nauseous, so she took it and took a bite. This cucumber was much more delicious than ordinary varieties. The refreshing taste instantly dispelled the discomfort. She felt that every pore of her body was emitting fragrance, and even the smell of cigarettes was no longer choking.
The barbecue restaurant suddenly became quiet. The men stopped bragging, put down their green sticks, and looked at Song Haixia in unison, listening to her "crunch, crunch" sound of chewing cucumbers and saliva pouring out of her mouth, like old zombies.
It smelled so good! They sniffed greedily, feeling relieved from the greasy feeling of the winter.
"Sister, where did you buy these cucumbers? How can you find such rare goods in this cold weather?" Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.
Song Ye stood up and smiled, "Brother, these cucumbers were shipped from the south by my friend. They are very fresh. I came out today to help him sell the goods."
"Brother, if you are interested, come and have a look. My stall is outside. I have not only cucumbers, but also other vegetables and fruits."
"New Year's Day is coming soon. No one can stand eating meat and fish all day long. Why don't you buy more and I'll send a plate of smashed cucumber to each table."
When the brothers heard this, their eyes lit up. It would be a great enjoyment if they could eat a bite of crispy smashed cucumber in this season!
Song Ye led his men outside, and the brothers were very fond of the fruits and vegetables in the display cabinet.
"Little brother, how do you sell these?"
"Brother, it's not easy to transport these things from the south, so you should understand that they are a bit expensive. Green vegetables are two yuan per pound, large fruits are one yuan each, and smaller ones are fifty cents, and grapes are three yuan a bunch."
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped. They had guessed it would be expensive but they didn't expect it to be this expensive. Pork is only a little over one yuan per pound, and vegetables are so much more expensive than meat. It's outrageous! When the price was announced, many people were discouraged.
Song Ye was not discouraged, but instead stared at the big man who asked the price at the beginning.
"Brother, the New Year is coming soon. Don't you want to add a cold dish to the New Year's Eve dinner? I can't eat a table full of fish and meat. Besides, why don't you buy some fruits for the elderly and children during the New Year?"
The eldest brother slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! I'll buy some. We eat cabbage, radish, potatoes and seeds every day at home. We're almost sick of it! My wife will definitely be happy if I take these back!"
My brother bought two kilograms of cucumbers, two kilograms of eggplants, a bunch of grapes, and four oranges, spending a total of 15 yuan.
As agreed, Song Ye sent their table a plate of smashed cucumbers. The eldest brother was delighted and felt very proud, and his boasting voice became even louder.
Each plate requires a little more than one cucumber. Song Ye took two to the kitchen and the remaining half was considered as labor fee. The chef was very happy. After all, who can resist such a refreshing taste?
When the smacked cucumbers were served, the eldest brother was so happy that his teeth were showing. "Eat it, you're welcome!"
Naturally, no one was polite to him. He had just picked up a piece of cucumber and before he could even put it to his mouth, the whole plate was finished. The smile on his face froze.
When the other tables saw Song Yezhen giving away smashed cucumbers, they were all tempted. They each chipped in a few dollars and bought some vegetables and fruits.
As expected, Song Ye sent a plate to each table. Everyone was happy and the room became lively again.
