selling chili peppers in chronology

===========================

"Little brother, newcomer?"

Chen Chen, who was squatting on the ground spreading newspapers, raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw the man selling food beside him was looking at him curiously. Obviously, he was the one who asked that question just now.

Chen Chen replied with a slight smile, "This is my first time here."

Putting out newspapers and carrying a backpack, he saw that what was being sold was not hot food, and there was no competition. Liang Shu was not so defensive, and since there was no business at the moment, he simply chatted with him, "What are you selling?" ?”

Chen Chen happened to open the backpack, revealing the bad peppers filled inside, "Sell some peppers."

Liang Shu: "?"

Liang Shu was dumbfounded.

Their location is close to the agricultural machinery factory. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk from the agricultural machinery factory, and there are some tube buildings around, which are full of people. In other words, this place has a lot of traffic.

Originally, there were only a few food sellers here and there, specially supplying single men and women in the factory who were too lazy to go home to cook.

Seeing this momentum, other people also came to this place to sell, and gradually they gathered into half a small street. Most of them sold food, but there were also other items sold, such as headbands, shoe soles, Handkerchiefs, woven bamboo baskets, free-range eggs, seasonal vegetables, etc.

However, I have never seen anyone selling chili!

And it's still the kind of pepper that has been cut!

For chili, you can either buy fresh ones that have just been picked and take them home to stir-fry, or you can buy dried ones and take them back to mash them into chili noodles. Go back and do it yourself, whose daughter-in-law still doesn't know this skill.

It turned out that this person was so nice that he wanted to sell chopped peppers?

It was whimsical.

Liang Shu felt that this was unreliable, so he said tactfully, "Little brother, I haven't seen anyone selling this kind of pepper."

Chen Chen understood the meaning of his words, and smiled, "So this is my exclusive business."

Liang Shu: "..."

Liang Shu was choked speechless, but when he came back to do business here, he directly said that it would be too annoying if he couldn't sell it. He felt like cursing others, so he just said: "You are right to say that, before Nobody really does that."

The bad peppers are packed in a transparent glass jar, and there is no sticker on the body of the jar, so that people can see the bright red peppers inside at a glance. If you want, you can even count the pepper seeds on the surface one by one.

Chatting casually, the more Liang Shu looked at the jar of bad peppers, the more curious he became, "Why does this jar look like it contains canned fruit?"

Chen Chen replied: "Almost."

"It's quite rare for you to do this." Liang Shu said, "It's the first time I've seen someone make peppers like this."

Chen Chen smiled and said, "It's also convenient to look clean."

The most important thing is the screw thread, which is equivalent to sealing and can be stored for a long time.

Liang Shu agreed, "It's clean, I think it's as expensive as those cans."

Chen Chen thought: Otherwise, why is he making such effort?He took the high-end route.

Although it's just starting with stalls.

Of course, thinking this way in his heart, Chen Chen didn't say a word about it. He just took out another can of chili from his bag, handed it to Liang Shu, and said with a smile: "Brother, this can of bad chili Give you a taste."

Liang Shu didn't expect it, and immediately declined after reacting, "How embarrassing."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." After a short pause, Chen Chen said in a little embarrassment, "Actually, I still want to ask my elder brother to do me a favor."

It turned out that something was asked of him.

Liang Shu had a clue in his mind, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what kind of help you want me to do, little brother? I'm just a food seller, so I definitely can't help you if I'm too busy."

Chen Chen said: "Isn't this the first time for me to sell bad peppers? No one has bought them before, and they don't know whether my bad peppers are good or not, so I want my brother to add a spoonful of them when selling rice. Go in and give me a recommendation."

Liang Shu looked embarrassed.

Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Chen Chen patched it up again, "Of course, it doesn't mean adding more forcefully, just ask people first if they want it, if they want it, add more, and don't force it if they don't want it."

After the words fell, Liang Shu's face turned pale.

Chen Chen asked: "I don't know what you want?"

"Nothing is impossible." Liang Shu said directly: "This is just a matter of convenience for me, and there is no hindrance."

Chen Chen thanked, "Then thank you big brother."

I got a can of chili Liang Shu for free, and I felt relieved, so I said, "My surname is Liang, and my name is Liang Shu. Seeing how old you are, you can call me Brother Liang."

Chen Chen said politely, "My name is Chen Chen."

Because of this conversation, the two of them are not so unfamiliar anymore. Liang Shu is a chatterbox, especially at this moment when the factory has not finished work, he basically has no business selling food, and Chen Chen handed him a can of chili After treating it as a gift to the customer, I couldn't help but tell Chen Chen a lot of things that happened in this half of the small street, including which ones around here sold delicious food.

He didn't stop talking until the agricultural machinery factory stopped work.

People in twos and threes came here together, the sellers raised their voices and began to yell, and several people from the Liangshu stall next door also came to buy food.

Chen Chen noticed that the rice sold by Liang Shu was not fried rice, but fast food. The five dishes fried at home in advance were placed in an enamel basin, and then white rice was steamed. The small trolley must have been specially assembled. The top holds water, and the bottom can burn charcoal, so that the food is not easy to cool down when placed in hot water, and can maintain a certain taste.

Due to the hot weather, a cold dish was also mixed.

Six dishes are already very rich in this era, and others also have a choice.

The most important thing is that the price of Liang Shu is not very expensive, much cheaper than eating in restaurants, so the business is not bad.

The bad chili has been opened and placed next to the cold dishes, so customers who buy food can see it, and Liang Shu still remembers about Chen Chen, so he asks everyone. Select to add.

"Boss, give me more." The customer said.

Liang Shu said: "This chili is quite spicy, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it if you add too much."

The customer said disapprovingly: "It's okay, I can eat spicy food, please give me more."

Liang Shu laughed, "Okay, boy, let me tell you the truth, this chili was given by Brother Chen from the stall next door to me, it's just this can, if you eat it, it will be gone, I don't mean to let everyone eat it Try it."

The customer was taken aback for a moment, and took a look at Chen Chen's lonely booth, and immediately understood.

"Then I'll taste it first."

"to make."

Liang Shu has been selling food here for several months, and he has some customer base. Today, he added a new chili, and the customers will inevitably ask a few questions. After learning the truth, they are actually quite disapproving. After all, who should chop the chili into pieces? Nope.

As a result, it is really fragrant.

How about this chili?

The sweet and sour taste is completely different from the chili they have eaten before!

However, the spicy taste is full, and there is also a faint refreshing sweet taste, which makes people more and more addicted, and feels comfortable all over.

Two words - strong enough!

So soon Chen Chen came to do business.

The first customer was still licking his mouth, obviously a diner who had just finished eating at Liang Shu's, "Boss, how do you sell this pepper?"

Chen Chen replied: "One dollar a can."

The customer was shocked: "One piece?!"

This glass jar is not big, and it can hold a catty of bad peppers, but now the fresh peppers in the county are generally [-] cents a catty, that is to say, this has directly doubled.

Of course, this is just a simple comparison with fresh peppers.

Chen Chen's explanation was not like this, he first asked: "Sir, have you tasted this bad pepper just now at Brother Liang's place?"

The man picked up the glass jar and looked carefully at the bad chili inside, and replied, "I scooped a spoonful of it there and came to ask if it tasted good, but the one you sell is too expensive."

"I'm expensive because my capital is also high." Chen Chen explained helplessly: "I chose the best fresh twigs for the pepper itself, and I added some spices when I made it. You are from the factory. The workers are well-informed, and they must know that some spices are more expensive than medicine. In addition, this glass jar is also bought with money, and some garlic is needed. It takes time and effort to make it. It’s also high, and selling at this price is actually a small profit but quick turnover.”

The man clicked his tongue when he heard that, he didn't expect that there are so many flavors in a can of chili, and it even needs to be spiced.

but……

The taste of this bad chili is indeed different from the chili that I have eaten before, not to mention the sourness, but also a little sweet, presumably it has added sugar, and the price of sugar is not cheap; moreover, there is a refreshing sweetness It has a bitter taste, which is not found in other chili peppers. It is very attractive. This should be the taste made by the spices that the boss said.

But...

Nothing can change the fact that it's just a can of chili!

The man said: "Although your capital is indeed high, but it is a can of chili, your price is really too high."

Chen Chen smiled helplessly, "No matter how low it is, I can't even get my money back."

The man couldn't help but said: "Actually, you are selling peppers, so there is no need to make the peppers so complicated. If you don't add so many things, the cost can be lowered and the selling price can be lowered. Others might buy it."

Hearing this, Chen Chen just smiled, "Then the final product won't taste like it does now."

Without Lingquan, what competitive market would there be for his business?

Do you think fresh chili is not expensive enough? Want to buy his bad chili?

The man was choked, because he was actually attracted by the taste that was not in that other chili.

Before the man could figure out whether he should pay the money, someone next to him came to ask about the price of hot peppers, and Chen Chen answered them one by one, but as expected, they were all intimidated by the price.

"Boss, you dare to bid too much."

"That's right, this fresh pepper is only [-] cents a catty, and your glass jar seems to be only about a catty, but it costs one yuan, which is quadrupled."

"Too expensive, too expensive."

Chen Chen could only put out the set of rhetoric just now with a smile.

Everyone suddenly realized, with such an expression.

No wonder this bad chili tastes different, it turns out that there are spices in it!

That is something comparable to medicinal materials, so can the price not be high?

But understanding belongs to understanding, that is, no one is willing to pay for it.

Although they are workers' families, the agricultural machinery factory is not affected by the reform like other state-owned factories, and their wages are paid on time even if they do not drop. , I can't help but feel like paying IQ tax, and I can't bear to chop my hands.
