Chapter 95 Don’t Speak Harshly when Buying and Selling

Li Chengqi left. He didn't stay in Zhuangzi at night, nor did he return to the city. He went to the Zhuangzi he bought, Liuli Village, and arranged for people to decorate it.

He wants to wholesale so that many people can make money from the price difference of candied haws.

The next morning, the steward continued to host the auction of soy sauce and five-spice tea eggs.

"Twenty-one thousand five hundred dollars on the third, is there any increase in price? Twenty-one thousand five hundred dollars, the first time, the second time, the deal..."

Song De was used to being an auctioneer, and the prices of those who participated in the auction fluctuated between 20,000 and 2,200 yuan.

Everyone has positioned the market. For this price, although I know it is still expensive, I can accept it.

In a short time, twenty jars of soy sauce were sold.

Song De took out the tea eggs: "Fifty eggs at a time, the base price is 20,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 500 yuan, the first batch, starting."

After calling him, he waited. The price of a tea egg was as low as 400 fen, usually around 500 fen.

There was no sound in the booths made of cloth.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Song De shouted: "The first time is 20,000 yuan, the second time is 20,000 yuan, the third time is 20,000 yuan, the auction failed."

After shouting out the word "unsuccessful", Song De was in a bad mood, and the faces of the palace maids and eunuchs accompanying him became dark.

"The second batch, fifty eggs, the first price is 20,000 yuan...the first time, the second time...the auction failed."

Song De shouted out the second failed shot.

Then the third, fourth, and twentieth batches all failed to sell.

"Everyone, please pick up the soy sauce. According to the price, as long as you trade with grain, you will get a 10% discount." Song De's voice changed, with anger.

The people participating in the auction came out of the cubicle one by one. They had smiles on their faces and looked very friendly.

They smiled and communicated with Song De.

"Manager Song, we don't have enough soy sauce, we should increase the amount, and the price is... too high." The shopkeeper at Keshangju talked to Song De like an old friend.

Song De forced a smile: "Shopkeeper Liang may not know that the weather is cold and it is difficult to make soy sauce. Maybe the quantity will be reduced tomorrow."

"Manager Song is joking, this... soy sauce is what I need, but does Manager Song know why not a single boiled round egg was sold today?"

Another shopkeeper from Baiweige came over kindly, holding a bag in his hand.

"Please also ask Mr. Feng to teach me." Song Degong handed over his hand. He wondered, do these people want to die? How dare you let my stuff go unsold.

Is this about money? This is a matter of face.

If you don’t buy today, but you want to buy or sell tomorrow, what will you do?

"Manager Song, I have a few eggs here, called Thousand Boiled Chaos Eggs. You can try them."

Shopkeeper Feng opened the paper bag on his hand, revealing five eggs inside.

Shopkeeper Liang next to him helped pick up one and handed it to Song De.

Song De took it and looked at the egg. Judging from the color, it was almost the same as Zhuangzi's spiced tea eggs.

He peeled it open, took small bites, and tasted it with his mouth. The slightly different taste had a hint of familiarity, very similar to five-spice tea eggs.

"Manager Song, can you swallow it?" Shopkeeper Feng asked with a smile.

Song De remained silent, and another shopkeeper came over, also holding a paper bag with an egg inside. He opened it and threw it into his mouth.

Then he said to Song De in a vague voice: "Thousand-boiled Chaos Eggs only cost eighty yuan each. You can get as much as you want. If the quantity is large, it can be cheaper."

Song De's expression changed again and again, but he still didn't speak, but his brows furrowed.

"Manager Song, someone else made the eggs today. The price of the eggs on Zhuangzi is high and no one is buying them. If you are willing to reduce the price of the hard-boiled round eggs to 70 yuan, we will take it."

Shopkeeper Liang revealed his ultimate goal, with a smile on his face but a sharp look in his eyes, staring at Song De with an aggressive attitude.

Song De took a deep breath, unclenched his fists, and smiled: "Haha, the price of the hard-boiled round eggs at my store will not be reduced."

"In that case, there's nothing we can do. We can't just let go of the cheap ones and sell the expensive ones instead. They taste almost the same." The egg eater swallowed the eggs and spread his hands.

"Manager Song, there are other eggs today, but the eggs at your farm cannot be sold. When there is soy sauce tomorrow, don't blame me for not being able to support you."

"Manager Song, people can't be too greedy. If you have something to earn, why bother with nothing to earn?"

"Manager Song, there is an abyss ahead, so retreat when you need to. Don't miss important events in the village."

"Manager Song, I know you can't make the decision, so why don't you ask Li Yi and Dongzhu Li to come out, and we'll talk to him personally."

"Manager Song, you must know that there are countless capable people. Your boss has brought out many tools that benefit the farmers. This soy sauce will also benefit the people."

"Manager Song, we are willing to offer a price to buy the recipe for soy sauce. We are selling it now. We owe Boss Li a favor. If someone makes soy sauce in the future, the favor... will be gone."

"Manager Song..."

"Manager Song..."

Everyone who came to participate in the auction spoke one after another, and the words they spoke were like knives piercing Song De's heart.

Song De tried his best to maintain a smile and hold on. He couldn't be weak at this time. The host's face was important.

"Don't you want to buy soy sauce tomorrow?" The palace maid Taohong couldn't stand it anymore and threatened.

Sure enough, when she said one sentence, everyone immediately shut up. Yes, we have to buy it tomorrow. There is a substitute for eggs, but there is no soy sauce.

They put on smiling faces, ordered people to pick up the goods, and then walked out together, talking loudly and laughing, which made them feel happy.

Song De didn't go to see him off today, and obviously the other party didn't want him to see him off either.

Song De turned around and ran to Li Yi, who was stretching outside the hospital.

"Proprietor, they didn't buy spiced tea eggs. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net gave me a few eggs instead." Song De said as he took out four eggs wrapped in paper.

The maids and eunuchs next to me were very angry as they told each other about the previous events.

"Oh, it turns out that the steward is besieging me? There is no justice in business, so why should I be like this? Have I always acted too softly? Do people think I'm easy to bully?"

Li Yi smiled and said, picking up an egg and looking at it. The eggshell was also beaten into fine texture and the color was brown-black.

Smell it again, there is the smell of star anise and a hint of sauce.

Peel off the outer skin, and the eggs inside are also colored. Take a small bite and chew carefully.

"Yeah! It tastes good. I used doenjang instead of soy sauce, and also added aniseed to it. Doenjang also contains sodium glutamate. It's a good idea."

Li Yi praised other people's skills and thoughts.

Song De didn't think others were smart. He was worried about Zhuangzi's income: "Proprietor, what should we do?"

"If no one buys it, let's give it to the people in Zhuangzi to eat. The 70% of the brothers... will replace it with other things."

Li Yi knew in his heart that it was not that the spiced tea eggs were bad, but that a group of people had united to teach him a lesson.

If Zhuangzi personally took out the tea eggs and found other restaurants to sell them, he would be at a disadvantage.

At that time, others will definitely try their best to lower the price, and Zhuangzi's auction status will be gone forever.

"They also asked the proprietor to sell you the recipe for soy sauce." Song De said with red eyes and felt aggrieved.

"It makes you feel wronged. Originally, I could have just exchanged it for something else to make money, but I still have to sell this egg, and they have to buy it."

Li Yi patted Song De on the shoulder and decided to vent his anger. Didn't you unite and not buy any substitutes? I’ll let you buy it, and you won’t be able to do it if you don’t.
