Chapter 50 Selling Mushrooms [Cong Chong]

Holding a brand-new commute card, Zhang Jin successfully passed the guard inspection at the school gate.But just two steps away, he was stopped by the uncle doorman behind him.

"Hey, hey, wait!" The uncle outside the door raised his hand, "The kid who just went out, you are Zhang Jin from Class [-], right?"

Zhang Jin turned around and nodded in a daze.I thought that it could not be that there is something wrong with my day pass, right?

The uncle guard smiled nervously when he saw him: "I said why your name is so familiar, come and see if this is your letter. It's been here for two days, and I haven't met your head teacher."

Hearing that there was a letter from him, Zhang Jin finally let go of his worries, and he said that the old class would not be so unreliable, and gave him a day-study card.

He took a few steps forward to take a look, and saw that the address above said a certain magazine, and his heart jumped suddenly. This was the name of the magazine for the second manuscript he sent.

Could it be that his second manuscript was also selected?

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Zhang Jinmu sincerely expressed his gratitude: "It's mine, thank you Uncle Liu."

"Hehe, it's fine if it's yours. I know you. Next time I have a letter, I'll find you directly."

Uncle Liu looked at Zhang Jin who took away the letter, his face was full of joy. Although he didn't know what was in the letter, judging from the words he knew, this letter from the big city magazine .To put it bluntly, it looks like some teachers in their school who like to submit manuscripts, and it contains the child's manuscript fee.

As those teachers who received manuscript fees said, the people in the magazine office are generally very busy, and the letters that can come from there are basically manuscript fees, because they have no time to return manuscripts.

And being able to make money with articles is very powerful in the eyes of Uncle Liu.Naturally, Zhang Jin was only a sophomore in high school and was able to write articles that could be paid for, which was even more incredible.

Uncle Liu watched Zhang Jin go away with reverence and envy, and turned back to his guard's studio until he could no longer see anyone.

Zhang Jin walked a long way out of the school gate with the letter before standing still suddenly.With an excited heart, I carefully tore open the envelope with trembling hands.

Although this is not the first time he has received the manuscript fee, it is different from the last time when he was led by the head teacher to collect the manuscript fee, and he knew in advance that the envelope contained the manuscript fee bill, and he was in a stupid state.

This time, I always feel more excited to solve the mystery by myself.

When Zhang Jin saw the note in the envelope with the manuscript fee withdrawal form, Zhang Jin's agitated heart finally fell back to its original position, and the expressionless face at that time also showed a smile that belonged to a young man.

40 yuan whole!

Twice as much as last time!Almost equivalent to his monthly living expenses!

When he was in junior high school, because the school required him to bring food, 40 yuan was the living expenses for him, his brother, and younger brother for a month, including pens and food money.

Perhaps 40 yuan in manuscript fees is nothing in later generations, but in 97, a worker's monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan, which was still high.Sometimes for some types of work, it is only two or three hundred a month, or one hundred and two hundred.

So this 40 yuan is really a lot for Zhang Jin at this moment!

It happened that there was a post office near the school. Looking at the watch, Zhang Jin knew that the post office was not closed yet, so Zhang Jin hurried over.

It may be because there are few people handling business in the post office when it is about to get off work. When Zhang Jin arrived, there was no one else in the lobby of the post office except the staff.

After the staff in the hall inquired about the business he wanted to handle, they used his day pass with a photo to help him collect the manuscript fee.

In fact, a major matter such as the manuscript fee requires a personal identity certificate, or a household registration book, or a student ID card in a certain procedure. Article is not feasible at all.

Fortunately, this post office has an old business relationship with the Sixth Middle School. Many teachers in the Sixth Middle School like to publish articles when they have nothing to do, and some of them get paid for their contributions.After coming and going, as a post office worker next to No. [-] Middle School, when meeting students or teachers from No. [-] Middle School, the requirements for certificates are not so strict.

What's more, the student's day card also needs to be stamped and approved by the school leader.There is also a photo on it, which is also equivalent to a certain degree of identification.

Zhang Jinshun successfully got the 40 yuan manuscript fee, and the feeling of touching real money made his heart so excited that it was hard to calm down.

As the saying goes, when people are overly happy, it is easy for extreme joy to turn into sorrow.

No, in less than 10 to 35 minutes, Zhang Jin spent all of her manuscript fees at a clothes stall, and also paid [-] yuan back!

Although the origin of everything comes from filial piety, it is still given to the four elders in the family at one time, each with a thick wool coat that feels thick to the touch.

But after spending nearly a hundred yuan in total, Zhang Jin still felt empty in his heart, feeling that the money disappeared in his pocket before it warmed up.

However, thinking that her parents and grandpa had not had new clothes for two years, Zhang Jin felt that the money was not worthwhile.

That is, the living expenses in his hand were suddenly reduced to only 35 yuan, which was a bit unacceptable for him.

"Oh, you won't regret buying it, young man. It's the newly built wholesale market in Nanshan Town. It is said that the whole Beijin City is famous for its cheapness. It's not as cheap as mine. I shipped it directly from Guangdong. I didn't add it. Don't say anything else, you just look at this material, and if you put it in a specialty store in the city, it is definitely a piece of fifty or hundreds of dollars without a counter-offer.

No matter how you look at it for more than ten yuan a piece, you don’t suffer!Look at this material, it can be worn even when it snows. "The peddler saw that Zhang Jin was hesitating and refused to leave after shopping, for fear that he would return the goods, so he hurriedly confused him without any effort left.

Zhang Jin touched the clothes in the plastic bag, and felt that the material of the clothes was indeed thick, better than the coat his sister got married and his brother-in-law gave to his mother.Moreover, they had never seen such a beautiful and thick fur coat when they were shopping in the town.One piece for men is 18 yuan, and the one for women is a bit more expensive, but with this color and style, Zhang Jin thinks that her mother will definitely look good in it.

Forget it, since you bought it, you bought it, as for the money...

Zhang Jin glanced resentfully at the money pocket on the boss's waist, then turned and walked towards the empty alley.

It's still so early today, maybe he can sell some of the mushrooms he picked in the space.After all, he will eat food from the space in the future. Those picked on the mountain may not be able to eat for a while, so it is better to sell it than to store it all the time.

Perhaps by selling some mushrooms he could make back the money he had just spent.

But no matter what, Zhang Jin has always been very willing to give up to her family!At that moment, if it weren't for the shyness in his pocket, he would have wanted to give one to each of his elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister.

After going around a few alleys and making sure no one was paying attention, Zhang Jin threw the clothes she just bought into the space, and replaced them with fresh mushrooms in a white fertilizer snakeskin bag.

Because this bag of mushrooms is fresh, it has not lost water, and it looks like more than 30 catties.Quite a lot, after all, mushrooms take up a lot of space.

Come out of the alley with the mushrooms in hand, and within 5 minutes of walking, the vegetable market is right in front of you.

This vegetable market called Jinhua Big Market is the largest vegetable market near No. [-] Middle School and the largest vegetable market in this large area.It is said that many restaurants and restaurants in Dongyang County buy their food here.

In many cases, if you come early in the morning, you can still buy cheap wholesale dishes.The price is at least half cheaper than the normal market price.

Zhang Jin doesn't know the price of fresh mushrooms in this season, but he has inquired before and feels that even if there is a difference, based on his investigation of this market for more than a year, it is only about three yuan per catty.

Moreover, his mushrooms are carefully selected, and they are pure wild mushrooms, which taste much better than the ones grown by some people.

The price of three yuan, with Zhang Jin's furious idea, can definitely be sold.

But before he started selling, he went into the market and wandered around, looking for some rice and mushrooms that sold mushrooms, and after asking the price of mushrooms, he turned around and left the vegetable market.

Private vegetable sellers, as long as they don't want to do it for a long time, no one will be in the vegetable market. You must know that there is a stall fee of [-] cents for a day there.

The business hadn't started yet, so Zhang Jin was naturally reluctant to pay the [-] cents for the booth fee, so she simply turned back to the entrance of the vegetable market and set up a stall with those who set up stalls.

Zhang Jin is a person with a strange personality. Sometimes his self-esteem is very strong, and he will hate others just because of a word; sometimes he doesn't seem to have the arrogant self-esteem of a young man.

Just like the current publicity, for a boy of his age, it was a very embarrassing thing, but he looked like he couldn't see it, and let others watch with confidence.When a customer asked about the price, he answered neither humble nor overbearing.

But if a guest asks about him or something, he just shuts up and shuts him down.

"The price is too expensive!" After seven or eight customers who only asked if they wanted to buy left one after another, Zhang Jin became a little anxious.

He just wanted to lower the price, but he couldn't bear it.He saw it in the market just now, and those artificially bred ones were not fresh, and some even had black spots on them, and they cost two yuan and five catties.No matter how he sells it for three yuan, it is rare!

"Young man, don't be in a hurry to lower the price. The workers are just getting off work at this time. It's not yet the peak season. The price of wild mushrooms like yours is at least five yuan. In the morning market, one family said it was wild. It looks like It’s not as good-looking as yours, so I called it six yuan a catty. In the end, many people complained that they didn’t buy it.” A kind old lady who was selling vegetables next to Zhang Jin saw that Zhang Jin couldn’t sit still, and quickly speak out.

Zhang Jin was stunned when he heard the words, and suddenly thought of a storybook about general economics that he had read at Dongfang Yao.Maybe he can try.

"Thank you, grandma!" Zhang Jin said to the old lady, "I know how to do it."

The old lady smiled and said nothing.

It's just that when someone asked Zhang Jin the price of mushrooms again, the other party asked for eight yuan per catty, which made her dumbfounded.

What is this kid doing?Obviously she just had good intentions, and she was afraid that the child would suffer.how come?

However, the first person who asked for the price of eight yuan a catty of mushrooms bought two catties.Immediately afterwards, several orders were sold, and when there were a lot of people, they were sold out in a short while!

In fact, Zhang Jin himself didn't expect that he had raised the price, but the business improved. Those who wanted to negotiate the price just wiped off the change for them, and they were happy as if they had taken advantage of it.

"Grandma, thank you, this is your rent." When Zhang Jin left with the snakeskin bag, she directly gave the old lady two yuan.

Normally, he would definitely not be so generous, at most he would just say thank you and be done.But selling mushrooms today really exceeded his expectations.Although it was just a mental calculation, the 37 to 200 catties of mushrooms, even if some people touched them for a few cents, a fraction of one or two yuan, ended up being more than [-] yuan.

This amount of money is really huge for him now!

The old lady looked at the two dollars that had just been put on her weighing plate, and she couldn't understand it. You must know that even if she bought all the small vegetables and lentils in front of her, they would not exceed five dollars at most.

This is just lending the scale to someone else, and they gave her two yuan, isn't it a bit much?

The old lady realized that she wanted to call Zhang Jin, but when she looked up, she found that the child had entered the crowd.
