Chapter 177: When the east is not bright, the west is bright
Jiang Wan took a few steps back in disbelief. Her heart was beating like a drum. It took her a while to calm down.
"Comrade, can you help me take a look again?"
Jiang Wan still didn't give up. She had died once, and her control over the plot and her perspective on life had changed a lot.
She is confident that what she writes now will be liked by readers.
Why haven't I received a reply yet?
"Comrade, I said no, no, no. I couldn't find it no matter how many times I looked for it."
Jiang Wan had a gentle personality and her voice sounded pleading, so it was difficult for the postman to refuse her request.
This time, not only did he not refuse, his attitude even softened a bit.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Jiang Wan left the post office feeling a little disappointed.
After going out, she perked up. Since there was no response to the manuscript, she decided to sell the winter bamboo shoots and yam that the little monkey had stored in the space.
The child dug day and night for more than a month, and the warehouse in the space was filled with these mountain products.
It was the middle of winter, and the bamboo shoots were buried too deep, so the group of people who went to dig them up didn't get much.
The little monkey is different. It does not need to look for bamboo shoots. It just relies on its feeling.
Every time it dug its claws and its nails started bleeding, it would immediately go to the space to repair them.
The little monkey is young, but very smart.
Jiang Wan was also shocked when he saw it digging so many bamboo shoots.
The little monkey kept urging it to sell the bamboo shoots quickly, and Jiang Wan didn't want to disappoint it, so he went down the mountain originally planning to make a big profit this time.
She slipped into a deserted alley and came out with two baskets in her hands.
Jiang Wan entered from this alley and came out from that alley.
There was no one in the alley when she went there, so no one knew where she got these things.
The alley that Jiang Wan came out of happened to be a busy market.
Since 1979, the country has been vigorously developing the street stall economy.
Two years later, more and more people started setting up stalls, and it gradually became a trend.
The street that Jiang Wan was walking on at this time was the famous street stalls in the town.
Normally there would be groups of people setting up stalls here, and the 15th and 30th of every month are big days for setting up stalls.
At this time, the street was crowded with people. All kinds of people carrying baskets and baskets appeared, and the sounds of hawking were endless.
There are also many kinds of things sold on market days.
Some sell chickens, ducks, fish and meat raised at home, while others sell various types of eggs.
Some people also buy food that they make themselves, as well as socks, scarves, hairbands and various small items imported from far away places.
The streets are bustling on market day, and it is also a day that everyone likes.
Jiang Wan didn't come here for the festival, so there weren't many people on the street.
She observed the terrain and quickly selected a location.
Jiang Wan spread the burlap bag flat on the ground and poured out some of the winter bamboo shoots.
The little monkey dug out all the winter bamboo shoots with his claws. The power of his claws was limited, so although the winter bamboo shoots could be dug out, they were preserved relatively intact.
After the little monkey dug the winter bamboo shoots, he stored them in space in time to ensure the freshness of the bamboo shoots to the greatest extent.
In addition, the fish it dug were all large and of good quality, so as soon as they were put on display, many people came to watch.
"Little girl, your winter bamboo shoots look good. How much do you plan to sell them for per pound?"
"Oh, these bamboo shoots look so juicy. I've been eating winter bamboo shoots for so many years and this is my favorite!"
"These are definitely the best quality winter bamboo shoots I have ever seen. I'm going to buy a few today and take them home to have a good meal tonight."
Before Jiang Wan could say anything, someone started praising the winter bamboo shoots.
Jiang Wan did not ask about the price of winter bamboo shoots before setting up her stall, and she didn't know how much a pound should be.
But Jiang Wan has always known a pricing principle: winter bamboo shoots are only available in winter, so they are essentially a scarce ingredient.
Coupled with the wild winter bamboo shoots dug out by the little monkey from the deep mountains and forests, they taste particularly crispy and tender.
According to her previous impression, ordinary winter bamboo shoots are generally 2 to 3 times the price of meat.
现在肉是1块2一斤，所以这些冬笋的定价可以在2块4至3块6之间。
Theoretically, there was nothing wrong with setting this price, but Jiang Wan still felt a little nervous.
Cheng Jinnian said that people in the town are different from people in the village.
People in the town have formal jobs and receive a fixed salary every month. In addition, many of them work for good employers, which provide them with welfare housing and free medical care.
Workers at this time should be the happiest people in the world.
They have no pressure in life and are not restrained when spending money.
As long as the things you sell are of high quality and make them feel they are getting great value for money, you can ask for as much as you want.
At first, Jiang Wan was afraid of being criticized by others, so he didn't dare to set the price too high.
"Three, three yuan a pound."
There was an old-fashioned small scale in the old house, and Jiang Wan brought it here specially for the convenience of doing business.
She could indeed tell the weight of something by weighing it with her hand, but just because she knew it didn't mean others would believe it.
So you still have to use the small scale to do some superficial work and fool others.
After Jiang Wan said three pieces, there was no reaction from the crowd for a long time.
Jiang Wan was a little panicked. She was afraid that she might say something wrong and then all the onlookers would run away and she would become a joke.
But she also comforted herself in her heart that if no one bought the goods because the price was too high, she would immediately take the goods and move to another place.
Anyway, there are several streets like this in the town, the only difference is that the traffic on other streets is not as high.
Jiang Wan was still feeling nervous when suddenly a cheer broke out from the crowd.
"3 yuan! Such good winter bamboo shoots are only 3 yuan? Hurry up and weigh two kilograms for me!"
"I also think this price is quite suitable. The winter bamboo shoots this time are of good quality. I want three pounds!"
"You guys better take it easy. Don't buy all the bamboo shoots. Remember to leave some for me."
A group of people squatted down and began to look for the winter bamboo shoots they wanted in the pile of bamboo shoots.
These bamboo shoots are all of fairly large size, and appear to be fairly evenly proportioned at first glance.
Not only that, the outer skin of the bamboo shoots is covered with a thin layer of yellow mud, and the exposed skin is golden yellow.
If you just pick up these bamboo shoots and squeeze them in your hands, they will feel hard and very fresh.
You know, some time ago someone was selling bamboo shoots nearby. There was a lot of mud on the skin of the bamboo shoots, and the surface was dry and cracked.
I pinched the bamboo shoot roots slightly, but they were so old that I couldn't move them anymore.
You probably have to cut off a large part of this kind of bamboo shoots when you buy them, and still sell them for two dollars and fifty cents per pound.
Anyone who bought those bamboo shoots would be a real sucker.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Although these bamboo shoots are 50 cents more expensive per pound, the quality of the two is worlds apart.
With the previous strong comparison, everyone certainly knows what is good and what is bad, and they also know how to choose.
