Chapter 7 Hawker Zhang Huawei II
There is actually a reason why I chose to come to Xihua Street today, because today is Zhang Huawei’s first day doing business, and Zhang Huawei also wanted to get a good fortune. There is a Chinese character in Xihua Street and his name, so he chose to come here.
Xihua Street, let’s see if we can get a good start and get off to a good start. In fact, Zhang Huawei also has some worries in his heart. Today is his first day in business and he bought almost a hundred kilograms of green peppers. He doesn’t know if he can sell them.
How many will be sold in the end and how many will be sold in the end are all unknown, and these will have to be confirmed in the afternoon. Zhang Huawei has both worries and expectations in his heart.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, more and more people were buying vegetables, but no one came to buy Zhang Huawei's green peppers. By three o'clock, Zhang Huawei had not opened the store. At this time, Zhang Huawei began to feel anxious.
What's going on? Is his green pepper bad? Zhang Huawei was sweating again without realizing it. He was rarely afraid that he would lose everything on his first day in business.
Just when Zhang Huawei was thinking wildly, he saw a woman in her forties with short ear-length hair, wearing a blue shirt, gray pants, and black leather shoes, coming to his stall and asked, "Young man, do you sell green peppers?"
Seeing that someone finally came to buy his green peppers, Zhang Huawei felt ecstatic, as if he had seen the savior. "Auntie, green peppers cost 50 cents per pound, how much do you want to buy?" "Young man, are they expensive?
A little, can you sell it for 50 cents?" "Auntie, I grew it all at home and just picked it this morning. It's very fresh. Besides, auntie, you can only buy two or three kilograms at most. How much does it cost per kilogram?
, that is, a matter of one or two cents is nothing to you, and if everyone who comes to buy something from me talks to me about one or two cents, then my losses will be huge.
Haha. How about this, auntie, you are my first customer, I will give you the hexagonal calculation, auntie, how many pounds do you want." "You are such a good talker, you are so talkative that I am embarrassed to bargain with you, then you
Just weigh me three kilograms." "Auntie, if you buy it to make twice-cooked pork with green peppers, I'm afraid you won't be able to use three kilograms." "Young man, I'm being honest, so I bought three kilograms. If you can't use it this time, you can do it next time.
Just use it again, young man, you are so honest, it doesn't matter even if you buy too much, it doesn't cost much." "Okay, Auntie." Zhang Huawei quickly weighed three kilograms of green peppers and poured them into the auntie's vegetable basket.
Perhaps because of the leader, Zhang Huawei's business has almost never stopped. By about five o'clock in the afternoon, all the green peppers were sold out. Zhang Huawei was so excited that he packed up his things and rushed home without even counting the money.
He wanted to go back early to share the joy of his success with his family.
Night had fallen when Zhang Huawei returned home. The whole family had not finished eating yet and were waiting for him to come home. As soon as Zhang Huawei returned home, his sister couldn't wait to ask: "How are you, little brother? Did you make money today?"
Everyone looked at him, and this was the question they wanted to ask, "Haha, I must have made money, but I don't know how much I made, and I haven't had time to clean it up yet." The father kept saying, "That's good, that's good.
, let’s eat first, and you can clean up after eating.” “Dad, Mom, if I come back late in the evening, you don’t have to wait for me.” Mother placed the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said, “It’s okay, we
We didn't have to wait long, and it wasn't long before we came back from outside.
After dinner, the whole family gathered around Zhang Huawei to see the results of today's cleaning. After the cleaning was completed, excluding the fair weighing money and the lunch money, Zhang Huawei made a net profit of eight yuan and sixty cents today. The whole family was very happy for this.
After talking to his parents, Zhang Huawei went to take a shower and rest. To be honest, Zhang Huawei was very tired today and asked his father to call him in the morning. He was afraid that he would not be able to wake up the next morning because he was too tired.
Lying in bed, Zhang Huawei felt that his whole body ached and he didn't want to move. Although he felt very tired, Zhang Huawei was sincerely happy. Today he created many firsts in his life. It was his first time to do business.
The first time he made money on his own, it made him deeply feel the hardship and difficulty of life, and made him understand that a good life must be achieved through own efforts.
The next morning he was woken up by his father. Although his whole body was still sore, Zhang Huawei gritted his teeth and got up quickly. If he didn't get up today because his whole body was sore, he would definitely shrink back when encountering difficulties in the future.
, I no longer have the courage to face difficulties.
After getting up and eating something casually at home, Zhang Huawei rode his bicycle out and started his second day as a hawker. Today at noon, he arrived at the Xiaonan Street Market and set up his stall next to a meat stall.
, when there was no business, Zhang Huawei watched how the meat stall owner nearby sold meat. After observation, he really discovered the problem. The scale for weighing meat was hung on a horizontal wooden beam.
Every time the meat is weighed, the meat stall owner holds his hand on the rope hanging the scale close to the scale beam. When weighing the meat, he taps the tail of the scale beam covertly with the little finger of the hand holding the rope, and the scale beam clicks.
The weight was tilted up, and the other hand quickly pinched the rope hanging the weight to let the customer who bought the meat clearly see how much the weight was. When the customer saw that the scale was tilted so high, he also happily paid. Zhang Huawei understood that
Just stealing scales, almost no customer who bought meat bought enough. Thinking about it carefully, it’s really scary. How much meat has to be sold in a day, and how many scales have to be stolen, Zhang Huawei can’t even think about it.
I dare to think that I would be very excited just to earn a few dollars after working hard for a day. As for others, I am afraid that just stealing a scale in a day would make much more than myself. However, Zhang Huawei does not envy others. What he earns is hard work.
Money is also conscience money. Even if you sleep peacefully at night, you won’t do bad things, and you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.
Zhang Huawei didn't try to expose other people's tricks. He knew that he couldn't take care of such things, and he didn't have the ability to do so. Besides, he still had to do business on this street. Not to mention ruining other people's good deeds, would he still dare to do so?
If you come to this street, you have to say whether you can leave here safely today. Zhang Huawei believes that someone will see through such a little trick one day. By then, that person will be in tragedy, and maybe he will even sell it here.
The qualifications for meat will be gone. Zhang Huawei thinks that you should live your life and do things in a down-to-earth manner. Whether you are a person or a job, it is not advisable to always take advantage of others. One day, people will see through your true face, and then the gains outweigh the losses.
, you will suffer more losses, or even cause irreparable losses.
The green peppers at noon today were sold faster than yesterday. They were sold out before five o'clock. I spent more than four yuan to buy three kilograms of meat from the meat stall next door. I just said this when buying the meat.
One sentence: "Don't knock the back." The meat seller looked at Zhang Huawei in surprise. Without saying anything, he cut off a piece of meat, weighed it and gave it to Zhang Huawei. Zhang Huawei estimated that the piece of meat might have weighed more than three kilograms.
, he took the meat and threw it into the basket of the bicycle without saying anything. Zhang Huawei also vaguely reminded the meat seller that no one knew about your little trick, it was just that he didn't expose you.
It depends on whether the meat seller will restrain himself in the future.
Time often passes quickly, and more than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye. It is already July. The weather is hotter at this time. Zhang Huawei shuttles between the rural market and the city market every day. He has already
I have completely adapted to this kind of work and life. I no longer feel any pain in my body, and I am even more tanned. In my sister’s words, I am just a little black baby. In the past twenty days, Zhang Huawei has not been
Everything was going smoothly. There was an incident where a tire was punctured by a nail on the road and I had to push a load weighing hundreds of kilograms for several kilometers before I could find a place to repair the tire. The most unlucky thing was that it started to rain heavily while I was on the road. I waited for the rain.
It was already almost five o'clock in the afternoon when we stopped and rushed to the city. They would definitely not be sold out. Zhang Huawei gritted his teeth and sold the green peppers he collected to a resident of the market at a price that was two cents lower than the purchase price.
Dealer. But overall, Zhang Huawei is very satisfied with the past 20 days. Zhang Huawei has made more than 150 yuan in these 20 days. If all of it is given to his family, it will still be of great help to his family.
But Zhang Huawei has no plans to give the money to his parents now. He is still planning to do business for a while. Although the green pepper business is no longer easy to do because the green peppers have become very spicy, there are still many vegetables.
It can be bought and sold in the market in the same way.
He can't do business tomorrow, because tomorrow is the day when Zhang Huawei will go to school to get his diploma. Knowing that he has not been admitted to college, Zhang Huawei still wants to know how many points he got in the exam and how far he is from going to college. But even if he is just a short
After a while, Zhang Huawei also knew that he was getting farther and farther away from university. He had no intention of repeating Zhang Huawei's studies and did not want to increase the burden on his family.
My cousin also left and went to the south with his classmates. A few days ago, when my brother Tiantian and his second uncle said they were going to the south, they didn’t expect that the second uncle readily agreed. The second uncle asked his cousin to go out and have a good time.
Chuang, don’t stay in this small place for the rest of your life like you did. You didn’t have the chance before. Now when you have the chance, go out. I really didn’t realize that the second uncle is still a very thoughtful person. The second uncle’s current thoughts also represent
It has understood the thinking of a large number of people in rural areas now. They have changed a lot in their thinking. They also long for a good life. They have aspirations and ideals that they cannot realize and hope that their next generation can realize them. They also do not want
