The full-level master chef made a big spoon in the 80s

Chapter 3 Large Market Purchases

Just doing what he said, Xu Nan pulled Aunt Li straight to the stall in the food area, walked around and around, and the idea in his mind gradually took shape.

She turned her head and asked Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, is the market here open every day?"

Aunt Li was a little baffled by her question, she just thought that Xu Nan wanted to visit the vegetable market every day, so she replied casually:

"It's open, it's open every day. These vendors usually open their stalls around five o'clock in the morning and close their stalls around twelve noon."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Li silently passed on her accumulated experience in grocery shopping to Xu Nan:

"Let me tell you, if you come to buy vegetables, you should come early if you want to buy fresh ones. The later you can buy the cheap ones, the better. They are busy closing the stalls at noon, and the price is more than half cheaper!"

Aunt Li looked around, carrying her grocery shopping bag aimlessly, she paused for a while, and added:
"However, being cheap also has its disadvantages. The vegetables at noon are all leftovers from people picking them out, and after drying in the sun for a whole morning, the leaves of the vegetables are all wilted."

Xu Nan nodded after listening, this is not the focus of her attention, she continued to ask Aunt Li:
"Then set up a stall here to make money?"

"Earn, why not? The whole county is just such a big market, and those who live far away have to get up and come here early in the morning to buy groceries."

"Today we came a bit late. If it was five or six o'clock, there would be a lot of people and it would be lively."

"Then how about I set up a street stall here?"

Xu Nan briefly explained his thoughts to Aunt Li, saying that he had just come here, had no job, no relatives, and was bored at home all day long, and he could earn a little money by setting up a stall here to subsidize the family .

Aunt Li was not an old fashioned thing either. After hearing Xu Nan's idea, she nodded in agreement and even said it was a good idea.

But it's hard to do business these days!

Entering the industry is easy and making money is difficult. Seeing Xu Nan's fighting spirit, Aunt Li thought that it's good for young people to be motivated, so she didn't have the heart to speak out against Xu Nan.

There is a contingency in everything, maybe this child succeeded by mistake!

It's always good to have a small goal.

The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, and Xu Nan felt even more novel when they entered the house. The supply and marketing cooperative's house is not big, but it is full of things.

Xu Nan wanted to buy some daily necessities for himself, so he went to the daily necessities area first, bought toothpaste, toothbrush, soap and a few towels.

Then I came to the grain and oil area with Aunt Li. Unlike the modern bottled soy sauce and vinegar, the seasonings here are all weighed by the catty.

Soy sauce and vinegar are also packed in large barrels. Could this be the origin of the legendary... soy sauce?

When tidying up the kitchen yesterday, due to the habit of occupational diseases, Xu Nan had already found out all the ingredients and stocks at home.

Probably because he was very busy at work, Lu Nanzhou probably didn't cook much at home, and there were very few ingredients and condiments at home.

Xu Nan glanced over the condiment section, and saw a huge pile of condiments on the shelf, such as Chinese prickly ash, tangerine peel, dried fungus, tofu skin, vermicelli, eggs, etc., as long as he saw it, he would eat some of it.

Then he asked the owner of the supply and marketing agency to make a few catties of soy sauce and vinegar, and he also weighed a few catties of loose white sugar.

When I checked out, I saw that the freshly delivered pork was still steaming, so I also ordered a few catties.

The owner of the supply and marketing agency had an abacus, and was doing the calculations there. Since Xu Nan bought too many things, the owner of the supply and marketing agency also did the calculation for a while.

Xu Nan held the wallet in his hand, which contained the 200 yuan change that he had just paid out from the post office.

After a long time, the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative raised his head from the counter and said to Xu Nan with a smile on his face:
"Little girl, the total of these things for you is 26 yuan and seven."

Xu Nan was shocked when he heard this. Seeing that the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative opened his mouth wide, he hesitated for a long time without speaking.

I wondered if the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative miscalculated the price, how could it be so cheap?
Aunt Li stood aside, looking at what Xu Nan was carrying in her hand, she just felt that she was in trouble.

For nothing else, this child bought too many things. Those condiments alone are enough for her family to eat for several years.

She wanted to persuade her, but then she thought about it, Xu Nan just said that she was going to the market to set up a stall, maybe these things can also be used?
Then she'd better wait and see before talking.

Seeing Xu Nan standing there staring blankly at him, the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative thought she was too expensive. After all, more than 20 yuan is not a small amount these years, and it is almost catching up with an ordinary person's salary of more than ten days.

The owner of the supply and marketing agency was afraid that Xu Nan would regret not buying it, so he hurriedly said:

"Little girl, if you think it's expensive, how about I give you a discount?"

"Discount?"

Xu Nan was stunned that there was still a discount.

Don't supermarkets generally sell at a fixed price?

Can this supply and marketing agency take the initiative to cut prices?
The owner of the supply and marketing agency was afraid that Xu Nan, a big customer, would run away, so he hurriedly lowered the price by himself:
"Well, how about I wipe a zero for you?"

"Charge you 26?"

The owner of the supply and marketing agency carefully observed Xu Nan's expression, seeing that she didn't respond, he reluctantly said:
"25?"

"22?"

"Big sister, just give me a quick word. You can take 20 of these, and you really can't lower the price any more."

The owner of the supply and marketing cooperative continued sadly, thinking that if the price was lowered, he would really not make any money.

Aunt Li on the side pushed Xu Nan, thinking, what is Xu Nan doing in a daze?

Could it be that she felt sorry for buying too much and was too embarrassed to say it? Also, now that this young man is thin-skinned, why don't you help her talk about it?

Xu Nan was pushed back to his senses and silently swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that after hesitating for a few seconds, he could still make the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative bargain automatically. It was an unexpected surprise.

Although this item is not expensive, of course money is something that can be saved if it can be saved.

"Buy, buy, buy, I'll buy it now, I want all of these!"

Xu Nan quickly took out his wallet and took out two cards of Great Unity.Stuffed it into the hands of the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative, dragged Aunt Li and ran away.

After walking to the door, he turned around and said to the owner of the supply and marketing cooperative:
"Um...boss, I bought so many things, and it only cost more than 20 yuan. At first, I thought you made a wrong calculation, so I wanted to remind you."

After speaking, he pulled Aunt Li, and ran out of the supply and marketing cooperative as if he had oiled the soles of his feet, for fear that the boss would come to ask her to make up the difference.

The owner of the supply and marketing agency was left alone at the door of the store, messy alone.

*
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, she ran so fast that Aunt Li was so exhausted that she panted heavily, pinched her waist and said:
"Mumble, slow down, my old arms and legs can't resist tossing..."

After speaking, he looked at the plastic bags of trophies in Xu Nan's hands, and was still a little worried.

With so many ingredients, if the business is not good, wouldn't it be a waste if they can't be sold?
Aunt Li thought to herself, it would be great if there was a refrigerator, but it is a pity that refrigerators are not popular these days, even if they can be bought in shopping malls, it would be a huge sum of money for ordinary people in their families.

Aunt Li sighed, and looked down at the canvas bag she was carrying. Originally, she also came to buy vegetables today.

But seeing Xu Nan bought so many things, she thought to herself, then she will not buy vegetables today, and if Xu Nan's business is not good by then, she will buy back the leftover vegetables at a high price.

It can not only reduce waste, but also make children lose less money, killing two birds with one stone.

...

After crossing the road, Xu Nan wandered aimlessly, thinking about what he needed to set up a stall.

Tables, kitchen knives, and gas tanks can all be moved from home.

What else is missing?

Suddenly, Xu Nan looked at a booth with golden eyes.

Aunt Li followed her line of sight and saw a stall selling second-hand bicycles.

Is it possible that this kid wants to buy a bicycle?
The two walked over. The owner of the car stall was a young man. The weather was too hot, and he was holding a fan to blow the wind.

He sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and looked at the passers-by from time to time. Compared with other stalls, his business was really deserted.

When Xu Nan walked to the stall, the owner of the car stall saw the business, so he stood up from the ground and hurriedly said to Xu Nan:

"Does the little girl choose a bicycle? For herself or for the children at home?"

"Don't look at my bicycle as a second-hand one. The price is only half of the price of a new one. The chains of this bicycle are all new, so you can rest assured."

The stall owner pointed to the brand-new chain on the bicycle and recommended it to Xu Nan.

The owner of the car stall sighed in his heart. His business was really not very good. He had been sitting here for several hours, but he didn't sell a single car.

The pet seller next door is as deserted as his business.

Although no one bought it in the end, occasionally some bear children would come in to pet the cat and tease the dog, and few people even looked at his bicycle.

Observing Xu Nan's age, the owner of the car stall estimated her preferences. While talking, he pushed a beautiful pink bicycle from the side, pointed at the bicycle and said to Xu Nan:
"See, xx brand bicycles are probably brand new. I haven't ridden them a few times. They are still pink. They are just right for you little girls."

"If you like it, brother will give you a discount today..."

The owner of the car stall raised his head while talking, and seeing that Xu Nan was not looking at him at all, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The stall owner looked in the direction of Xu Nan's gaze, and saw that she was staring at a broken and worn-out bicycle cart.

Unlike ordinary bicycles, this bicycle has a large bucket behind the body, which can be used to hold things.

The owner of the car stall saw Xu Nan staring at the broken car with eyes shining, his face full of shock, pointing at the broken car that he detested so much, he asked in disbelief:
"You want to buy that wreck?"

Because he was too surprised, the owner of the car stall accidentally spoke his truth.

His voice was surprisingly loud, Xu Nan couldn't help covering his ears, looked at the car, and nodded affirmatively.

Aunt Li was also stunned watching from the side, she really didn't understand why Xu Nan would fall in love with that dilapidated car, the paint on the car was gone.

At this moment Xu Nan spoke, pointing to the car that both the owner of the car stall and Aunt Li disliked, and asked, "Can I get a discount if I buy this one?"

The owner of the car stall recovered from his daze, and when Xu Nan asked him if he could get a discount on this car, he was overjoyed, thinking it was a joke.

God knows how long this bike has been in his shop, there are still people looking at other bikes, and it's just moldy in the corner.

Can I get a discount?
Of course!
Not to mention a discount, it's fine to sell it to her at a loss, as long as the car doesn't fall into his hands, it's fine.

The owner of the car stall rubbed his excited little hands, hurriedly pushed out the broken car in the corner, and took a rag to wipe the dust on it:
"I got this car from an old man who sells vegetables. It has been in my place for more than half a year, and it has not been sold. If you like it, I will sell it to you."

"Don't look at how broken it looks, the chain and inner belt of this car are all newly replaced, it's worth buying it."

Aunt Li was really puzzled. She stared at the bicycle for a long time, but she didn't see anything clear.

After the stall owner pushed the car out, Xu Nan kept staring at the car. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She threw a few plastic bags of ingredients into the car, and said to Aunt Li:
"Look at this car, how about I use it to load goods when I set up a stall?"

Aunt Li suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of it, such a big truck body is enough to hold a lot of things!"

The owner of the car stall heard that it was used to set up a stall, so he patted the car body with his big hand, and sold it even harder:
"Big sister, you are so discerning. This car is just right for you to set up a stall. Look at this big car, which has a large space and a large capacity. It is super powerful and strong. It is not too much to use it for business. suitable."

"Don't look at it as broken, its price is really cheap..."

Xu Nan finally managed to buy this small broken car at a price of 80 yuan. The owner of the car stall also kindly presented a bottle of pink paint, saying that he would let Xu Nan go home and paint the bike himself so that he could change the color.

...

It was nearly ten o'clock when we returned to the family courtyard.

As October approached, the weather in the north turned cooler. Although it was noon, Xu Nan was wearing a thick woolen sweater, but he also felt a bit of coolness.

Xu Nan carried the bought ingredients into the kitchen and tidied them up one by one.

She came here in a hurry yesterday, and she hasn't had a good look at the room yet.

The house is on the first floor, with a large yard outside.

You can go out by opening the balcony door, where she placed the bicycle that Xu Nan just bought.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit unkempt and needed some cleaning.

The area inside the house is small, and it is very clean. It is a dormitory assigned by the unit, with a standard one bedroom and one living room, enough for two people to live in.

The only fly in the ointment should be the palm-sized kitchen, which is really unacceptable for a food blogger.

She kind of misses her 100-square-meter kitchen.

Xu Nan looked at the quartz clock on the wall.It's already 10:30, Lu Nanzhou is about to leave work.

Xu Nan walked to the kitchen, put on an apron and prepared to cook.

She first checked the remaining ingredients at home, and she sighed, only a few tomatoes were left.

I have to go to the space to pick some vegetables.

She studied it for half a night yesterday, and the vegetables in the space can be used directly without unlocking, so she didn't buy vegetables when she went to the market today.

She picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board, and couldn't help frowning, thinking that this broken system is really useless.

If she wants to enter the space outside, is it possible that she has to go home to get a kitchen knife?

The familiar mechanical voice sounded in the ear, with a little grievance in the tone:
【Master, I exist in your consciousness. The kitchen knife is just an opportunity to trigger the system, and it is only needed for the first time. 】

【You just need to close your eyes, call me, and I will appear. 】

Xu Nan heard the words, closed her eyes and said "space" silently in her mind, and in the next second she was indeed in the space.

She cut a handful of leeks in the space, and is going to make a leek box at noon, and is using the remaining tomatoes to make a tomato and egg soup.
