Fang Zhiqiang went directly to the wholesale market. Early in the morning, the wholesale market was crowded with vegetable sellers waiting to wholesale vegetables. There was no way. Those who went early could choose good vegetables, but those who went late had to choose others. The leftovers are not very good in terms of appearance or quality, so they are not easy to sell, so every vendor tries to get up as early as possible to wholesale. Of course, generally speaking, people come here for wholesale after five o'clock. It is still too early for someone like Fang Zhiqiang to arrive after four o'clock. However, Fang Zhiqiang is used to this time. This is what his aunt taught him. He would rather sleep less. Gotta get good food.
When Fang Zhiqiang arrived at the vegetable wholesale warehouse, he took out the vegetable purchasing plan he had prepared last night from his bag and started purchasing various vegetables one by one according to the list. He was already familiar with this procedure. The only difference is that usually he only carries the vegetables, pays and negotiates the prices, but today he has to do it alone. Therefore, when Fang Zhiqiang loaded a cart full of vegetables and trudged back, it was already past six o'clock, more than half an hour slower than usual.
A person stared at such a heavy cart of vegetables. The pile of vegetables was almost as high as one person. Fang Zhiqiang was very laborious. It took him more than half an hour to put this cart of vegetables. When we arrived at the vegetable market, all the stalls were run by two couples. Only Fang Zhiqiang ran it alone. He had to do twice as much as others, so he was naturally more tired and slower.
When Fang Zhiqiang drove the car to the edge of his stall, he was already soaked to the skin, but he had no time to rest. The stalls had already started serving food, and they would start in a moment. Someone was coming to buy vegetables. Before he could take a breath, another person began to move the vegetables on the tricycle to the stall one by one, sorted them one by one, and then pushed the tricycle to the designated place. By the time he finished all this and sat down at the stall to start preparing for business, it was already past seven o'clock. There were already many people selling vegetables in the market, and Fang Zhiqiang was already wet from head to toe and kept falling. Sweat, there is a big difference between doing this alone and usually doing it with the two of you.
Before Fang Zhiqiang had time to take a break and wipe his sweat, customers came up to buy groceries. Fang Zhiqiang didn’t care who came, whether they were men, women, old people or young people, he always maintained the same attitude. He had a smile on his face, addressed him affectionately, and spoke politely. Even if someone made things difficult for him or made him angry by bargaining, he would force himself to smile and treat them politely. Moreover, if a male came, he would politely hand someone a stick. cigarette. These are the precautions he wrote in his notebook before he prepared to start this business. He firmly believes that people are all for each other, as long as the food he buys has no problem with the quality and price, plus his attitude will always He can win a lot of repeat customers. After all, he not only plans to stop cooking for a day or two, but also, in this marketThose who buy food at the market are all people around them. It can be said that basically there are these fixed groups of people every day. Fang Zhiqiang thought that he must build up his reputation and win over more people, because although the market is large, the flow of people is also small. There are many, but the competition is equally great. Fang Zhiqiang is different from other vegetable sellers because he has his own dream. He never looked down on himself because this was just a job selling vegetables, but instead took it more seriously. He is such a person. No matter what he does, once he decides to do it, he will definitely find a way to do it best, even if it is just a job selling vegetables.
The time period from 7:30 to 9 o'clock is the peak time. During this time, Fang Zhiqiang almost never stopped. He kept turning around and circling in the square stall. He was almost dizzy, but he never forgot to smile.
After nine o'clock, the number of people gradually became less and less, and he began to have some free time. At this time, he would take time to prepare orders for other restaurants based on the orders given by them. For the dishes, put the dishes from each restaurant into baskets and put labels on the baskets. There are twelve baskets in total. After ten o'clock, when there were not so many people, Fang Zhiqiang went over again, pushed his tricycle over, and loaded all the vegetables on the tricycle. Then he took out the basket he had put in the stall to make money, and put all the money in it into his satchel. There was a lot of money, but there was nothing I could do about it, it was all change, mostly fifty cents. Then Fang Zhiqiang went out on a tricycle to deliver food.
Others have two people guarding the stall, one goes out to deliver the food and the other sells the food here, but Fang Zhiqiang can’t do it, he is alone. When he goes to deliver the food, no one here will watch the stall. Business is up, but it's impossible to have the best of both worlds. He can only let the stalls stand here. But fortunately, the quality of the people is pretty good now, and generally no one will come to steal the food.
Fang Zhiqiang was in a hurry. He rode his tricycle very fast and started delivering food to major restaurants. Even so, it was already eleven o'clock when he returned to the stall after delivering food without stopping. , still no rest, and started doing business again. Some of them came to buy vegetables for lunch at this time. They were so busy that when it was past twelve o'clock, Fang Zhiqiang was about to collapse, and the order market was completely deserted at this time.
Fang Zhiqiang sat on the chair without speaking for a long time. He was very tired this day. He had hardly stopped for a moment from about four o'clock in the morning to now. Fang Zhiqiang was sitting on the chair, smoking a cigarette. Although he was very hungry, he had no intention of eating. He was too tired and didn't want to move at all.
Fang Zhiqiang just sat here and rested for almost an hour, then walked out, went to a fast food restaurant not far away, ordered a fast food and packed it back, and then picked up a bottle of beer. , just sitting in the stall eating food and drinking beer. While eating, he could feel his whole body exudingThe smell of sweat stank, the sweat on his body hadn't dried all day. This day was the most tiring and strenuous day that Fang Zhiqiang had ever experienced, but after taking a rest, Fang Zhiqiang also felt that it was pretty good, because he felt that the harvest of this day was not bad, although he did not know how much he earned on this day. It's clear, but the vegetables he bought yesterday have basically been sold out. Although this has something to do with the fact that he didn't dare to buy many vegetables on the first day of business, it also shows that the harvest on this day should not be low.
