Zhang Huawei rushed home under the scorching sun. After riding for a while out of the city, he saw a stall selling cold water on the roadside. He got off the car and bought a glass of cold water and drank it. This so-called cold water is plain water with saccharin added, and it costs two cents a cup.

Zhang Huawei drank cold water and got on his bike and hurried home. Maybe it was because he had a goal in life in the near future and he was in a good mood. Zhang Huawei didn't feel hungry at all. Instead, he rode the bike very fast, and sometimes he even got on the bike.

Go big and make a thrilling move.

Zhang Huawei arrived home at around two o'clock in the afternoon. Because he was in a good mood, he felt that it didn't take long to get home. When he got home, because the sun was too strong, the whole family did not go out to work. As soon as he got home, his mother started nagging him.

She said: "Why did you come back just now? Where did you go? You don't know how worried and anxious your family is." My sister fanned the flames and said, "Mom, didn't you say you were going to bully me when I came back?"

His ears, why can't he even scold him now, haha." The father spoke at this time: "You two, mother and daughter, don't just talk about him, Xiaowei, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" The mother took the picture.

He said at once: "Look at me, I was busy teaching him a lesson, but I forgot about it. Xiaowei hasn't eaten yet, so mom will bring it out to you and keep it all for you." Zhang Huawei said embarrassedly: "

I'm really sorry to everyone, I went to the city today and forgot that my family didn't know about this."

After dinner, Zhang Huawei handed over the three yuan and sixty cents he had earned from selling green peppers today to his mother, and then said to his father: "Dad, the green peppers I sold at the farm today cost fifty cents per catty. Dad, there is one more thing I want to share with you."

Let's discuss it." "What's the matter? Tell me." "I bought green peppers at the rural market this morning. After I heard the person who bought my green peppers said that he bought them and transported them to the city to sell, I was thinking at that time.

I didn’t know how much a pound of green pepper sold in the city, so I went to the city to take a look. The green peppers in the city usually cost a little more than six cents per pound, which is about a jiao per pound here. I thought if I

If you buy dozens of hundreds of kilograms from us and sell them in the market, you can earn a few yuan or ten yuan, so I want to start this business, you can see if it works." The father looked at his young son and was filled with excitement.

I am relieved that the younger son is much smarter than the older son. Although the older son is honest and responsible, he seems a bit dull. The younger son is smart, has his own independent personality and ideas, and is also sensible and obedient. The father looked at Zhang Huawei and said:

"Xiaowei, have you really decided to go into business? That is a very hard and tiring thing." "Dad, I have already decided. I am not afraid of hardship and tiring, and I don't have to pay the capital. I am in high school.

I have saved up all the money my mother gave me every week for three years. There is a total of forty-three yuan, and I use this money as capital." My mother said with red eyes: "Silly boy, how can you give me this money?

You have saved all your money, but you don’t know how to buy something to eat. It’s no wonder you have to grow taller. It’s all you who have mistreated yourself like this.” The father also said: “Good boy, Dad won’t say anything more.

, ask your mother to get you another ten yuan and add it together. You can prepare it at home this afternoon, and you can go tomorrow."

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for the preparation work, just a steelyard, and then take out two bamboo baskets specially made for carrying things on bicycles. After the bamboo baskets are woven, slightly thicker wires are used to carry them from here.

Pass the bottom of the side opening to the opening on the opposite side. Thread two such iron wires through a bamboo basket, and then use two wooden sticks to pass through the iron wire ring higher than the opening of the bamboo basket and connect them. Place them on the rear frame of the bicycle, just one on each side.

Use ropes to fix the basket and the frame. The bottom of the basket is about ten or twenty centimeters from the ground. This way, when the bicycle is tilted, the basket will be supported on the ground and the bicycle will not fall over. This is very convenient.

When Zhang Huawei was cleaning up at home, his cousin Zhang Huaming came to the house and said, "Brother, what are you doing?" "I'm going to do business tomorrow. How about you go? If so, we'll go together."

"I won't go. Besides, I don't have a car at home, so I can't go if I want to. Brother, today I went to the neighboring village to find my classmate. We all discussed it. We will get the diploma in a few days.

We’re getting ready to go to the south. Brother, are you still going with us?” “We’ll talk about it then. Have you told your second uncle that you’re going to the south?” “Not yet, I’m going to leave in the first two days.

I’ll talk to my dad again tomorrow, I hope he can agree.”

In the evening, my father took off his old watch from his wrist and gave it to Zhang Huawei, saying that he could tell the time when he was outside. His mother also gave Zhang Huawei ten yuan and kept telling Zhang Huawei to remember it when he was outside.

Eat, don't cause trouble, and be careful when riding. Zhang Huawei was moved but also helpless at the same time. This is nothing to do with anything. He just wants to run a small business. But he really knows that this is his mother caring about him. On the surface,

I rarely listened patiently to my mother's nagging. My sister also joined in the fun and told me that when buying and selling things, I must calculate the accounts well and put the money carefully.

At 6:30 the next morning, Zhang Huawei had already arrived at the comprehensive market in the countryside. It was his first time doing business and he didn't know how to start. Zhang Huawei planned to see how others did it. He saw those hawkers doing business.

Whenever they saw someone coming to the market with something, they would swarm around it and start bargaining with each other. If anyone agreed on the price with the seller, they would go to the fair scale to weigh it, and then pay the price.

If you haven't negotiated a good price with the seller, let the seller enter the market, and then someone will go up and talk to the seller. Anyway, in the end, everything that should be bought will be bought, and everything that should be sold will be sold out.

.

After Zhang Huawei watched for a while, he basically understood what to do. They also first looked for those people who were put into the market. He knew that such people were generally not easy to talk to. He also talked to others

He also went to besiege those who had just arrived at the market. As soon as Zhang Huawei passed by, the middle-aged man who bought his green peppers yesterday recognized him, "Young man, you just sold them yesterday. Are you here to sell green peppers again today?" "I'm here today."

I'm not here to sell, I'm here to buy. I also want to make some money to support my family like you." "Okay, young man, when you buy things, keep your eyes open. Don't buy those things, which are all bad. Don't buy them then.

If you say you can't make any money, you have to pay two more." The middle-aged man reminded Zhang Huawei. "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. I will pay attention to it." Here I want to explain why there are green peppers that are divided into good and bad ones.

If they are long and straight, they look very attractive. Bad green peppers are either short, thick, or curly. Such green peppers have no attractive appearance, even if they are bought together with other good ginseng.

If it is not easy to sell, it will most likely be picked out by customers.

The green peppers Zhang Huawei bought over the phone were sold by a young man in his twenties. When the young man arrived at the market, he was also surrounded by these vendors. When he asked the price, he asked for 50 cents. Someone immediately counter-offered 45 cents. The young man

Without agreeing, Zhang Huawei tried to give him a price of 48 cents. Unexpectedly, the young man agreed to the price immediately. This was the first business Zhang Huawei made, nine pounds and four taels of green peppers, worth four yuan and five cents.

Two points. Many years later, Zhang Huawei still clearly remembers this number in his heart.

By around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Huawei had received more than 90 kilograms of green peppers. Zhang Huawei felt that it was almost done and the money in his bag was almost used up, so he tied up his bicycle and headed for the city. I will go to the city again today.

It’s not as relaxing as yesterday. There are about ten kilograms of stuff in the car today. Zhang Huawei is having a hard time pedaling. Before he has pedaled a few miles, he is out of breath, like a bellows. In addition, the weather is already very bad.

It was hot and sweating profusely. Although Zhang Huawei was prepared to endure hardship, he still did not expect that it would be such a hardship. Zhang Huawei did not get out of the car to rest, but gritted his teeth and pedaled forward and continued to move forward.

, Zhang Huawei knew that if he got off the car to rest now, it would be endless. The more he wanted to rest, the more tired he would be, and the more tired he became, the more he wanted to rest. It was a vicious cycle. Slowly, Zhang Huawei began to adapt to the weight of the car.

, pedaling did not feel so strenuous, but when Zhang Huawei arrived at the Xihua Street Market in the city, it took more than four hours, almost twice as long as when he arrived in the city yesterday.

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when Zhang Huawei arrived at Xihua Street. He spent 80 cents on a bowl of noodles at a noodle shop in the market. His stomach definitely wasn't full. Zhang Huawei was not willing to spend money to eat another bowl. You know how to eat

One bowl of noodles consumes nearly two kilograms of green peppers.

Zhang Huawei pushed his bicycle on the street looking for a place to set up a stall. He walked to the middle of the street and saw a place. This place was more than one meter wide. On one side were lettuce sellers and on the other side were stalls selling bean pods. I didn’t know where this place was.

It was a stall selling something. Maybe he was worried about running out and let Zhang Huawei catch up. He pushed the bicycle in along that place, then took out a piece of plastic sheet and spread it on the ground, and then took out a few green peppers from the basket.

Put the kilograms on the plastic sheet. After doing these preparations, we are waiting for the customers to come to your door. Why are there so many green peppers that only hold a few kilograms and put them outside? That is because buyers know how to choose when they come to buy things. You

If you hand out less, there will be less room for selection. If you hand them all out and put them there at the beginning, not to mention taking up space, the good ones will be picked away by the customers who came first, and the rest of the bad ones will be taken away later.
