Chapter 36 A fly in the ointment?
Chu Xuan didn't panic when things happened, not to mention that with her size, she had a great advantage.
The moment they bumped into each other, I could see who was coming by the light in the yard.
It's Mu Chenze.
While Chu Xuan slammed on the brakes, Mu Chenze quickly dodged.
He didn't want to be crippled alive by Chu Xuan.
After Chu Xuan stood firm, he was about to ask, why did he come here in the middle of the night?
Mu Chenze has already explained the purpose of coming, "I saw that there are lights in your yard, and I guessed that you were grilling fish fillets overnight. I just rented a truck to go to the city. Do you want to follow me to sell grilled fish fillets?"
He was so sleepy that someone gave him a pillow. Chu Xuan felt that Mu Chenze was just in time.
Nodding again and again, "Yes! Where is the car? I'll carry the grilled fish fillet. Carry it twice, and pick another..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Chenze interrupted softly, "Just wait at home. I'll have the truck driver pick you up in half an hour."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but praise, "Brother, you are so considerate! Thank you! I'll prepare some supper for us to eat on the way."
"it is good."
Mu Chenze left with a flashlight.
Chu Xuan watched his figure and didn't look back until he couldn't see clearly.
I went back to the kitchen to say hello to my younger brother, talked about going to the city with the truck, and started preparing for supper.
Time is tight, so I can only make some simple pasta.
Spread egg and scallion white flour pancakes.
With the help of my younger brother, Chu Xuan spread out more than a dozen delicious egg pancakes in less than 10 minutes, leaving three pancakes for my younger brother for breakfast, and wrapped the rest with a clean white cloth towel.
Wash and air-dry the backpack and carrying basket in advance and place clean white cloths in them.
The grilled fish fillets were stuffed into two large back baskets and two large carrying baskets. This thing is light in weight and takes up a lot of space.
The siblings carried it to the entrance of the courtyard several times, and Chu Feng brought an old scale and a net bag and put it over.
The old scale is Gao Meijuan's.
When Chu Xuan told the younger brother to remember to buy some more baskets and baskets from Liu Zhaodi's house, the truck drove over.
The headlights are extremely bright in this dark night.
After the truck came to a complete stop, Mu Chenze jumped out of the passenger seat.
Helped to move the panniers and baskets to the back seat of the truck.
The cart is full of live seafood, and there is a lot of ice and water, so it is not suitable for grilling and drying fish fillets.
Therefore, Chu Xuan and her grilled fish fillets, scales, and net bags were all arranged in the back row.
For others, it would be a squeeze at most, but for Chu Xuan, it was quite a squeeze.
On foot, on body, and beside you.
Even so, Chu Xuan was still happy.
I was very excited when I thought that I could earn more than 200 yuan from selling more than 200 kilograms of grilled fish fillets.
The egg pancakes were handed over to Mu Chenze for safekeeping.
After getting on the bus, Mu Chenze introduced the truck driver to Chu Xuan, "This is Lin Yong, just call him Brother Lin."
Chu Xuan shouted politely, "Brother Lin! Sorry to trouble you!"
Lin Yong said boldly while driving, "No trouble, this is what I do. Your name is Chu Xuan, right? Chenze said you opened a grilled fish fillet workshop."
This was a potential customer, and Lin Yong spoke very politely.
Chu Xuan responded with a smile, "Yes. Where is Brother Lin from?"
"I'm from Wenzhen, not far from Dengzhen. I usually pick up jobs at the pier. Let me know in advance."
"Okay."
After the car drove out of the village, Mu Chenze suggested that Chu Xuan take advantage of this moment to sleep for a while.
Chu Xuan was indeed tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lin Yong and Mu Chenze talked quietly.
Mu Chenze specifically told him not to spread the matter about Chu Xuan going to the city with him.
Lin Yong naturally agreed, after all, this is a long-term customer.
Next, it's nothing more than small talk to avoid sleepiness.
Chu Xuan was woken up by Mu Chenze.
"Chu Xuan, we have arrived at the market. Please wake up quickly. The stalls near the entrance are all rented out. I will rent the ones inside for you."
Chu Xuan woke up immediately, "Thank you for helping to rent the booth. Don't you need to rent the booth?"
"No. I have a regular source of customers. Just send it over. I'll come and find you when the delivery is finished."
"it is good."
Chu Xuan got out of the car with a basket of grilled fish fillets.
With Mu Chenze's help, all the grilled fish fillets were moved to the stall in less than 5 minutes.
As soon as it was set up, someone came over, "How do you sell grilled fish fillets? Can you taste it?"
"I can taste it. It costs two yuan a catty for less than five catties, one yuan and eight catties for more than five catties. There are three flavors, spicy, sweet and spicy, salty and sweet..."
With a smile on her face, Chu Xuan was busy greeting customers and didn't bother to see when Mu Chenze left.
After Mu Chenze got into the passenger seat of the truck, he couldn't help but glance at Chu Xuan's stall and muttered in his heart, I didn't realize that he was quite good at doing business.
The truck drives off.
The unique and alluring aroma of Chu Xuan's grilled fish fillets floated in the market, and many people came here because of the aroma.
The people who will come here are basically wholesalers.
One purchase is more than ten or twenty kilograms.
In less than half an hour, Chu Xuan sold more than 100 catties.
She set aside 5 kilograms for market worker Liu Chao in advance and planned to deliver it to him when the stall was closed.
Just weighed and put it in the net bag.
A fat man in his 40s in a suit and leather shoes, who weighed two hundred catties, walked up to the booth, "Last night, I heard Liu Chao say how delicious grilled fish fillets are in the market. Could it be yours?"
Chu Xuan didn't expect that Liu Chao would also help with the publicity, and if the deal was made, he would be given a commission.
He said enthusiastically, "It's my family. No, I just set aside five catties for him. Taste first and then buy. You can try all three flavors..."
Patted the dried fish fillet in the net bag.
The man was not polite. He not only tasted each flavor, but also tasted it in different places, just like a quality inspector.
Chu Xuan didn't stop him because he was very conscious and used his own small bamboo clips to clamp it.
After tasting it, he asked, "If I take it all, how much does it cost per pound?"
"For more than five catties, one yuan and one catty, if you take them all, how about paying one yuan and six one catties?"
Small profits but quick turnover.
Maybe this is still a regular source of customers.
The man didn't continue to bargain, "Okay! You don't have a large scale here, I'll send someone to come and move it, just borrow a large scale from the market office and weigh it once."
"You don't need to call for someone to move, I'll just move there."
With about ninety catties left, Chu Xuan gritted his teeth and carried the bamboo basket on his back to carry it in one trip.
He also brought the five catties left for Liu Chao.
When she moved to the door of the market office and put her down, the man looked admiring and said, "You really haven't gained weight in vain. I have gained weight in vain and I can't breathe even if I carry dozens of kilograms of things!"
Chu Xuan panted heavily, "I'm so excited because I want to make... earning money. I can't usually move...so heavy."
The man laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.
"We are both big fat guys, and it is fate that we can have a customer relationship. Let me introduce myself, my name is Yuan Yueban."
Chu Xuan couldn't hold back his laughter. Yue and Ban were fat characters, and he introduced himself, "Hello, Boss Yuan! My name is Chu Xuan. As long as it doesn't rain from now on, I will come to the market every day to sell grilled fish fillets."
"That's good! If your goods, I sell well, and I will cooperate with you for a long time in the future."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news."
While talking, the grilled fish fillet was weighed dry, a total of 96 catties and three taels, yuan.
He received 154 yuan, and gave him the back basket, basket and white cloth for these grilled fish fillets.
After paying the bill, Chu Xuan took the five catties of grilled fish fillets left for Liu Chao, and wanted to entrust it to his colleague, and it happened that Liu Chao came to take over.
Liu Chao wanted to give money, but was stopped by Chu Xuan, "Thanks to your publicity, otherwise how could I know a big customer like Boss Yuan? I'll go to the temporary stall to get something first, and I'll come over to talk to you later."
Give Liu Chao a knowing look.
Liu Chao is a smart person, "OK."
Another empty backpack and carrying basket, as well as scales, net bags, etc., are still at the temporary stall.
When she returned to the booth, she searched for it for a while, but couldn't find the scale.
"Who used my scale?"
To put it mildly.
I didn’t shout directly, who stole my scale?
