Chapter 8 Black Market Business (2)
Song Cenyue immediately looked in the direction of the voice and found a man wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit, a hat and glasses. He was obviously an intellectual and wealthy man.
"I sell these fish by the piece, seven dollars each." Song Cenyue replied.
In fact, I feel that her previous sentence was a bit redundant. Fish have generally been sold by the piece since ancient times.
"Seven dollars each? That's too expensive!" The man in the Zhongshan suit frowned, thinking it was too expensive.
"I'm telling you, it's not expensive at all! Look at how plump this fish is. One fish weighs seven or eight kilograms. You know how much a kilogram of fish costs at the supply and marketing cooperative. You need money and a ticket to buy it...
Moreover, the supply and marketing cooperatives do not always have fish available. Sometimes, fish is only available for two or several months. It is really rare to eat fish.
I don't need a ticket for my fish, I'll sell it at the price of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is not only not expensive, but also relatively cheap! Otherwise, the black market stuff doesn't need a ticket, so the price is usually two or three times higher than the market price." After Song Cenyue finished speaking, he added: "Brother, do you think this is what I said!"
It is difficult to eat fish at this time because there is little of it, as she just said.
When the weather is good, it can be supplied once a month. When the weather is bad, it can be supplied only once every two or several months. Therefore, it is very difficult to get it. It is a real hot commodity, so it is sold at a high price.
The prices of things on the black market are indeed two or three times more expensive than the market prices. She sells them according to the supply and marketing cooperative prices on the market because the price of fish sold at the supply and marketing cooperative prices is already quite expensive. If she sells it at the black market price, which is two or three times more expensive, she is afraid that no one can afford it and the fish cannot be sold.
After hearing what Song Cenyue said, the man in the Zhongshan suit found that it was indeed what she said, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Hearing what you said, I think I'm getting a great deal...Okay, give me one." The man in the Zhongshan suit smiled and no longer complained about the price. He decided to buy one right away.
"Do you have something to hold the fish?" Song Cenyue nodded and reached into the bucket to fish out the fish. After taking out the fish, she noticed that the man in the Zhongshan suit was empty-handed and frowned slightly.
Why does it feel like he doesn’t have anything to hold the fish!
"No, I can just hold the fish in my hands. My home is not far from here. It only takes a few minutes to get there after leaving the alley." The man in the Zhongshan suit took out a handful of money, counted out seven one-dollar bills and handed them to Song Cenyue, then reached out to take the fish in her hand.
"Then you have to hold this fish well and don't let it shake you off." Song Cenyue warned after taking the money, and looked a little worriedly at the fish in his hand that was jumping around and swinging its tail wildly, as if it wanted to shake off his hand.
The man in the Zhongshan suit nodded, "I will be careful."
"I also want to buy a fish and some eggs. Your chicken looks good, too. How about I buy another chicken? Give me a discount!"
Just as the man in the Zhongshan suit was about to leave, an auntie came out from the crowd and stared at Song Cenyue's fish, eggs, and chickens.
"Okay! Auntie, my fish is seven yuan each, and each fish weighs seven or eight kilograms. The price is as cheap as the ones sold outside.
An egg is 1.2 cents each, so I can count it as 1.1 cents for you.
This chicken is a big one, weighing about 7-8 jin each, and I sell it at the same price as outside, 1 yuan per jin, 7 yuan per chicken. If you buy the fish, chicken, and eggs, I'll give you 20 cents less when you settle the bill. Isn't that a big discount?"
Song Cenyue said to the aunt and greeted her warmly.
"Why don't you sell these eggs at the price outside? One cent and one egg is too expensive. Eggs outside are only five cents each." The auntie bargained.
Eggs are priced at five cents each? This lady is really good at bargaining.
"That won't work! Auntie, go ask around and see if there's anyone in the black market that sells eggs for five cents apiece at the outside price." Song Cenyue refused. "The eggs here are at least ten cents apiece. If you want to buy them, buy them. If you don't want to buy them, forget it."
When I heard this aunt say that eggs were priced according to the outside prices, such as five cents each, I knew that she was greedy and didn't know how to count. It's not easy to do business with such a person, so it's better not to do business with him.
Anyway, food is the hottest selling item on the black market, especially rice, eggs and meat. There is no need to worry that if you don’t do business with this auntie, your food will not sell well and no one else will buy it.
"Why are you still unhappy..." The aunt frowned and smacked her lips. "I just heard you say that fish and chicken are sold at the market price outside, so I wanted to ask if the eggs can also be sold at the market price outside, so that they are cheaper. If not, forget it. Why are you doing this... Really...
The eggs are 1.1 cents each as you said, I'll buy them! I want ten eggs, a fish, and a chicken, and I can choose the chicken, fish, and eggs myself."
Although I really wanted to bargain down the price of the eggs and sell them at the market price outside, five cents each, so that I could get a bigger bargain, but he was obviously unhappy and I insisted on bargaining. I was afraid that he would be angry and not sell them to me, so I gave up.
It's rare to come across such good chicken and fish, and they don't just shout and rip you off, but sell them at the market price outside. You can get a great deal here, it would be a shame not to buy them.
A few days ago, I met a man selling chickens. The chicken weighed only 3 or 4 pounds, but it cost six yuan. It was so expensive, but a lot of people were rushing to buy it. There is a shortage of chickens recently, so no matter how expensive it is, there will always be people willing to buy it.
Not to mention fish, she hasn't seen fish for almost three months. Last night she even dreamed of eating sweet and sour fish, which is her favorite dish.
Her eldest grandson kept asking for chicken, so when she saw the chicken and fish, she immediately decided to buy one of each.
Seeing that this auntie was sensible and no longer greedy and ignorant of bargaining, Song Cenyue nodded when she saw that she just wanted to choose.
She wanted to choose by herself, and it was obvious that she wanted to pick the biggest and best chicken and fish eggs. That was fine, so she was allowed to choose.
"Put the chickens in the basket down, I'll pick the chickens first." The aunt pointed to the basket behind Song Cenyue.
Song Cenyue immediately did as she was told, put down the backpack and placed it in front of the aunt, so that she could pick the chicken...
The aunt took out the chickens one by one and looked at them. She quickly picked out the chickens. As Song Cenyue guessed, she wanted to pick the biggest and fattest chicken, but the chickens were almost the same size and fattest. She only picked out the one she thought was the biggest and fattest.
The aunt then went to pick fish. After some comparison, she picked the one that she thought was the biggest and fattest. She threw the fish into the basket she was carrying, and then picked ten eggs.
After she had picked everything, she asked Song Cenyue to pay the bill. Song Cenyue had already calculated the prices and immediately told her that the total was fifteen yuan and ten cents. A fish was seven yuan, a chicken was seven yuan, and ten eggs were one yuan and ten cents. He had mentioned before that he would shortchange her by two cents when paying, so she only had to pay fourteen yuan and ninety cents.
"Yes, brother, you are a man of your words. Remember you said you would give me a 20-cent discount when I pay the bill." The aunt nodded with satisfaction and took out 15 big unity bills and handed them to Song Cenyue.
Song Cenyue found a dime note and gave it to her. She watched her leave happily and murmured, "I'll kill fish and chickens when I get home, make sweet and sour fish, stew chicken, and make the whole family happy."
"How much are your fish and eggs?" As soon as the aunt left, an old man came over and asked.
Song Cenyue's business is really good, with customers coming in an endless stream.
Song Cenyue was naturally happy and immediately told the old man the price with a smile. The old man was a straightforward person and did not complain about the price or bargain. After hearing the price, he immediately asked Song Cenyue to give him a fish and twenty eggs.
Song Cenyue closed the old man's business in just two minutes and earned nine yuan and forty cents from him.
After the old man left, Song Cenyue discovered that the farmer selling sweet potatoes nearby had sold all the sweet potatoes. He folded up the empty burlap bag that originally contained the sweet potatoes and held it in his hand as he was about to leave, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
As soon as the other party left, Song Cenyue rushed to the place where the other party used to sell sweet potatoes and took up the position, so she finally had a stall.
Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient to stand in the middle of the alley and sell goods.
