Chapter 937 Selling Fruit
People have already cleared the way for them, so why are they still hesitating?
Erpang happily retreated and started calling people to catch crabs. Baoyue Tower sold 3,000 crabs every day in the city, and they were all sold out before noon.
Then they also sell 3,000 pieces. They don't expect to sell out all in a short time. They should be able to sell all 3,000 pieces in a day, right?
On the second day, Zhou Guo followed him to the provincial capital.
Baoyue Tower has a fixed shop selling crabs, but they don't have that many shops in Chengding, so they divide them into three groups. One group is placed in front of the mountain product shop, one group is placed in the grain shop, and the other group is placed in the vegetable market, with one thousand crabs in each place.
Among them, there are one thousand big crabs, one thousand medium crabs, and one thousand small and medium crabs.
However, the items displayed in the mountain product shop were the first to be sold out.
Seeing so many crabs, the people were delighted and asked, "There are crabs for sale here? They are so big. How do you sell them?"
Many families couldn't even get the things sold at Baoyue Tower as they were snatched up by the wealthy families as soon as they came out. When they got the news and rushed over, they could only see empty basins and buckets.
I'm lucky every time I can buy it.
The crab seller said, "The big ones are two guan each, the medium ones are one guan and five cents each, and the smallest ones are one guan each."
Everyone smiled when they heard this. The cheapest crab sold in Baoyue Tower was 1.5 yuan per crab, and there were even fewer that cost 1 yuan per crab.
"Okay, I'll get five of these little crabs."
Many people also understand that compared to the crabs that cost two strings of coins each, although these crabs are much smaller, they contain everything, and two strings of coins can buy two small crabs. The sum of these two crabs must be bigger than one, right?
It’s much more cost-effective.
Therefore, many people buy small crabs.
After all, the families who come to buy mountain products have some money, and these crabs could only be eaten in Baoyue Tower in the past.
Moreover, Baoyue Tower does not offer takeout. If they want to eat, they have to go to Baoyue Tower. And for a family to have a meal at Baoyue Tower, it would cost at least seven or eight taels of silver, and they would not be able to enjoy the meal to their heart's content.
People like them may not visit once in several years.
Now I can buy one for one tael, which I think is a good deal.
The next best seller is the medium-sized crabs.
Medium-sized crabs are not as big as large crabs but are a size larger than small crabs. Many people think that small crabs are not worth eating and large crabs are too expensive, so they buy medium-sized crabs. Three strings of cash can buy two, and half can be given to each person with fewer people in the family. That is enough to share.
Finally, there are the big crabs. Big crabs are huge, even bigger than medium crabs. Because they are expensive, most people just take a look at them. They don’t sell as well as small and medium crabs.
But those who can afford the big crabs are all wealthy people, and they buy whole or several baskets at a time. So even though few people buy them, they sell quickly.
There were also people who liked to go for the big crabs. They looked at the big crabs and asked about the small crabs. They felt that if they bought the small crabs, they would be looked down upon by everyone present. So they secretly glanced at the small and medium-sized crabs, but still reluctantly bought a few big crabs. They left with the crabs in their hands, looking regretful.
Zhou Guo was watching with great interest in the shop. He couldn't understand what these people were thinking. None of them knew each other, so what could be more important than the money in their pockets?
Is it a waste of so much money just for this little face?
In fact, to be honest, without considering the taste, she thinks small crabs are the most cost-effective. They are not too small. With the price of one big crab, you can buy two small ones, which are enough for two people. It is much more cost-effective than one.
She stayed in the mountain product shop for more than half an hour, sold a small half of the thousand crabs, and then left.
I ran to the vegetable market and the grain store to have a look. Of the two places, the crabs in the vegetable market were better sold. The small crabs in the vegetable market had been sold out, and half of the big ones had also been sold, with only some medium-sized crabs left.
Er Pang said happily, "Master, Bao Yue Lou has been selling crabs for so long, and these crabs that cost two taels of silver each are really selling well. We originally thought that crabs that cost one and a half taels of silver each were already sky-high prices, but we didn't expect them to sell them for so much! And they're selling well!"
Zhou Guo didn't say anything. She had originally priced the dish at five hundred coins each, hoping that many families would be able to afford it. However, she didn't expect Baoyue Tower to start at one and a half coins. If she also followed this price, she was afraid that many families who could afford it in previous years would not be willing to buy it.
Even if they were willing, they couldn't buy that much. Baoyuelou simply gave up on this group of customers and had no plans to do it.
But in fact, after raising crabs for so many years, as far as she knew, most of the crabs produced every year were the medium-sized crabs from the bottom. Crabs of that size were worth two taels of silver each, and there were only a few of them in a pond. After all, they were still a minority. Even the small crabs from the bottom were more than the big crabs.
The total number of these customers should not be underestimated. They are even more than the big customers.
She won't give up.
In two hours, all the crabs were sold out.
Zhou Guo waved his folding fan and went to the government office to find the master.
As a result, the doorman told her that the master had not returned yet.
Zhou Guo frowned. Counting the days, they should be back by now. Why haven't they come back yet? Could they have been delayed on the road?
He muttered to himself, then smiled and said to the concierge: "Then I will come to your house when the master comes back."
Zhou Guo glanced at Erpang, who understood and gave the doorman a five-liang silver ingot.
The concierge took it and said respectfully, "When the master comes back, I will definitely tell him that you were here."
Zhou Guo had been to the door several times and the doorman recognized her.
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded, then left, thinking about just asking Zhang Lian. But then she thought that Zhang Lian was just like her and had never left the house, so it would be better for her to stay in Chengding and wait for them to come back.
She really stayed in Chengding.
Every day I follow the crab-selling team into the county town under the provincial capital.
Although Baoyue Tower in the county town below is not good enough, the sales are still as good as usual. In the big county, even two thousand pieces can be sold every day, which is not much different from the provincial capital.
The crabs have not been sold out yet, and the fruits on the mountain can also be sold.
Zhou Guo had people pick ten baskets of crabs every day and transport them to the provincial capital, where they were placed not far from the crab stall.
Although the surface of the fruit is not so red at this time, it is full of fruity fragrance when you pick one up, and you can smell the fragrance from a long distance away.
Twenty-six cents per pound.
Compared with the crabs and mountain products, they are so cheap that people think they are hallucinating.
The apples at this time are not cheap. When they are first put on the market, if the harvest is bad, they can even be sold for 40 cents per pound.
The fruits are already available on the market this year, and the selling price is also twenty-six cents.
She had no intention of raising prices, so she just followed everyone else's price.
The fruits here sell really well. People buy crabs and mountain products, and spend a lot of money for a bite to eat. They don’t even have to think twice about spending a little money to buy some fresh fruits for their family. After all, they have already spent a lot, so why would they care about this?
Zhou Guo thought selling fruits was interesting, so she moved a stool and sat in front of the stall, crossing her legs and crunching the fruits. Although she didn't like eating them very much, she would still eat one or two every year when they came out.
Moreover, it is crisp, juicy and refreshing, and is a rare good fruit.
It was not enough for her to eat alone, so she asked Erpang and some other people selling fruits to share some, and even the crab sellers each bought one.
In this way, people coming and going could see these people holding the fruits and eating them with relish.
