Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

"This bowl in your hand costs two cents."

Lin smiled.

Auntie Egg was shocked: "This is a new bowl, and it only costs two cents?"

An ordinary pottery bowl would cost at least five cents, but this bowl showed no signs of use at all, yet it only sold for two cents?

Lin assured with a smile: "We just arrived and haven't opened yet. If you want to buy something, it's three cents for two."

The first order is also called a good start. This was her first time doing business since she came to ancient times, and Aunt Jidan was the first one to ask. She was willing to make the deal at a lower price to get a good start.

When Aunt Jidan heard the price, her eyebrows jumped. It was the first time she saw two bowls sold for three cents. It was almost like picking them up for free.

She stroked the wall of the bowl, hesitated for a long time, and finally put down the bowl with a dry laugh.

"Forget it, there's no shortage of bowls at home."

She came for an hour and sold less than ten eggs. She couldn't even afford a pound of rice, so how could she have any spare money to buy a bowl?

Although Mrs. Lin felt a little regretful, she still smiled and watched Aunt Jidan leave.

Shi Lang's face was filled with disappointment: "It's obviously not expensive, why doesn't this aunt buy it?"

Lin put the bowl that Auntie Egg had just looked at back to its place and asked him with a smile, "If you came across a bowl that cost one penny today, would you buy it?"

Shi Lang quickly shook his head and hurriedly explained: "I don't buy it because I don't have money, but if I had money, I would definitely buy it."

Lin smiled and nodded. "She's the same. Although the price is very tempting, she can't bear to buy it. Or maybe she wants to spend her money on more necessary things."

Shi Lang became even less confident: "Can we still sell it?"

"can."

More and more people were coming and going at the city gate, and more and more people were passing by the stalls.

Lin shouted, "Ceramic bowls and basins are on sale now! Bowls for two cents, basins for five cents. Take your pick!"

Silang imitated his third aunt and called out twice, gradually becoming proficient in it.

He even learned it on his own and started recruiting passers-by who were nearby.

"Auntie, come and see my bowls. They are more expensive than anything you can find in the surrounding villages. If you miss out, you'll regret it so much that you'll slap your thigh when you get home."

Sure enough, a round-faced woman stopped in front of the stall.

She smiled and joked, "You are funny, okay, I will see how much you regret it."

Shiro was extremely excited.

The round-faced woman looked at the pottery basins. Lin smiled and introduced them: "The big basins are five cents each, and the smaller ones are three cents. There are some in the basket at the back. If you want, feel free to pick any."

Lin's clothes were neat and her hair was obviously carefully combed, which made people like her at first sight.

The round-faced woman followed Lin's instructions, squatted down and picked up a ceramic basin.

"This pot is quite complete, why is it so cheap?"

Lin smiled and explained, "These bowls and basins have some minor flaws, so they are sold at a low price."

After saying this, he pointed out the original flaws on the edge of the basin.

A faint trace.

"This was fixed by my husband himself. You can still see it if you look closely."

Lin had no intention of hiding anything from her customers. Her first principle in doing business was honesty. Besides, they were selling defective products, so there was nothing to hide.

The round-faced woman exclaimed in amazement: "Your man's craftsmanship is really good. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me."

She came to the city to visit relatives, and seeing that Lin was an honest person, she took out the copper coins swiftly.

"I'll pick three more bowls. Ten cents will do."

"no problem."

I originally thought of buying a piece of cloth in the county town to give to someone, but now it seems that this ceramic basin is more cost-effective.

The normal price for a basin and three bowls is at least thirty cents, while a piece of cloth costs about twenty cents.

Spending ten cents to buy these bowls and basins not only makes them look good, but also saves ten cents.

Lin took the money with a smile, filled the middle of the bowl with hay, and put it in the woman's backpack.

Watching the first guest leave with satisfaction, Lin was lost in thought, while Shilang's heart beat faster with excitement.

A cart of scraps cost ten cents, and he earned back his investment on the first order. Looking at the bowls and plates on the stall, Silang seemed to see money all over the floor.

He is full of energy now.

But just as he was about to shout, Lin stopped him.

"Don't shout yet, let's change the price."

The three bowls for five cents just now reminded Lin of a trick from her previous life.

"Want to sell it cheap?"

Lin smiled and shook her head: "No, change it to three cents a bowl."

Shiro's face was filled with shock: "Then, can we still sell it?"

“Not only will it sell, but it will also attract more people.”

Silang scratched his head, feeling that he didn't understand what Third Aunt said. Why was three cents more attractive?

Lin didn't explain much and shouted loudly: "Ceramic bowls are on sale at a low price, three cents each, buy two get one free."

Silang was a little confused. Three cents each, two is six cents, and buy two get one free is three bowls.

That means three bowls and six coins.

Previously, a bowl cost two cents, and buying three cost six cents. Isn't this still the original price?!

But before Shilang could think about it, the stall was surrounded by people.

"Big sister, buy two and get one free?"

"Three cents each, it's a good deal even if you don't give it away."

The stall was packed with people, and everyone who heard the shouting wanted to come and see what the buy-two-get-one-free bowl looked like.

This is a common consumption routine used in later generations, taking advantage of the customer's greed for profit. It seems that they have obtained an extra bowl, but in fact the merchant's price has not been reduced, and even the sales quantity has increased from one to three.

Not only did I make money, I also shortened the sales time.
