Chapter 307: Setting up a stall in the market
Next comes the pricing of the goods.
Jingtian naturally didn’t know the market situation here, so he left it to Xiaoba.
After all, he is the one who earns the money, so he has an obligation to help Jingtian set up the stall and sell the goods.
Moreover, his income is also collected from the turnover, so he will not trick Jingtian into selling at a low price.
There were about two thousand sausages, more than two hundred bags of salt, and five small barrels of gasoline, totaling one hundred kilograms.
It's really because the frame car can't carry too much weight and space.
Xiaoba helped to set the prices: 20 grams of ham was worth 20 grams of gold, 5 grams of salt was worth 5 grams of gold, and 100 grams of gasoline was worth 1 pound.
There are free weighing tools available in the venue.
That’s right, gasoline is not only the most expensive, but it is also sold by the pound.
" Why is so cheap?" Jingtian was a little curious about the price of salt.
"Because this place is near the sea, the salt we make may taste bad, but it is pollution-free. Generally, poor people like us won't spend money to buy refined salt, and rich people don't particularly need refined salt," Xiaoba explained.
Jingtian nodded. The currency used to purchase items here is still mainly gold, and crystal cores can only be encountered occasionally.
Level 1 crystal cores are almost ignored because there are few level 1 zombies and not all of them have crystal cores.
Starting from level 2, one crystal core contains 50 grams of gold, level 3 contains 100 grams... and so on, doubling with each level.
In Xiaoba's words, he has never seen anyone use a level 7 crystal core to buy things, and level 5 at most is already quite generous.
Because crystal cores are what people with special abilities need, it is easy to exchange crystal cores for gold, but it is difficult to buy crystal cores with gold.
It just happens that people in the south are particularly fond of crystal cores, which makes it difficult to balance the value of crystal cores in the market with that of gold.
Also, Xiaoba did a good job explaining gasoline. In his words, gasoline is almost out of stock now.
As soon as the stall was set up, people soon came up to ask questions.
Xiaoba immediately left Jingtian behind and started soliciting business enthusiastically.
Soon, the first business order was made, and someone bought five sausages at one time.
One hundred grams of gold beans fell into Jingtian's hands. Xiaoba was only responsible for selling the goods, and Jingtian had to collect the money.
Ham sausage is definitely a hot commodity. It looks expensive, but it sells very well.
In just a short while, more than 300 sausages were sold.
Jingtian originally wanted to take some time to inquire about the news with Xiaoba, but as the business was booming, he had no time to communicate with him.
At this time, Jingtian felt a little regretful that he did not listen to the patrol captain and go to Liu Bang's place.
"Oh, the minibuses are getting business, and the southern peddlers are also willing to spend money on gasoline to attract customers. I'll take care of whatever you have."
Less than ten minutes after the stall was set up, a sturdy young man in his twenties came to the stall and spoke directly to Xiaoba.
From the tone of his voice, it was obvious that he knew Xiaoba, and from the sarcastic tone, it could be determined that this person was most likely going to cause trouble for Xiaoba.
"Tie Niu, don't disturb my clients, otherwise I will call security." Xiaoba said with a gloomy face when he saw this man.
"Call security? Security can keep you in the market, and can it also keep you out of the market? Besides, I'm your client now, so be polite to me." The other party sneered.
When Jingtian saw someone coming to cause trouble, the other buyers all avoided him and he was happy to have some free time.
He didn't try to stop it, but just stood aside and watched the fun.
"You want to buy this gasoline? Okay, take out the money, otherwise you're causing trouble and I'll ask the security to arrest you." Xiaoba was not too afraid of this man.
"Is this enough?"
The sturdy young man took out a crystal core directly from his pocket, held it in the palm of his hand and said to Xiaoba as if showing off.
"Fuck, a level 6 crystal core!"
Seeing the crystal core as big as a quail egg in the hand of the sturdy young man, the people around him suddenly became restless.
Most of the customers coming to the market are ordinary people, but there are also some people with special abilities, and many of them can distinguish the level of crystal cores.
Jingtian was also a little surprised. This strong young man was obviously an ordinary person. Where did he get the crystal core?
"How do you have a crystal core, and a level 6 one at that?" Xiaoba was also surprised.
"Hehe, do you want to know? Sell me your position as a guide, and I will tell you, and I can also give you this crystal core."
The sturdy young man snorted twice and said proudly.
"You're dreaming, get out of here right now." As soon as Xiaoba heard what this guy said, he started to chase him away.
When Jingtian heard this, he immediately understood. It turned out that this guy had set his eyes on Xiaoba's position.
It is also quite novel that some people steal other people’s jobs in this way.
"You actually drove away customers. I will file a complaint against you and make sure you can no longer be a guide."
When the sturdy young man heard Xiaoba cursing and driving him away, a look of success immediately appeared on his face.
Xiaoba's expression changed slightly .
The sturdy young man looked at Jing Tian and said, "Sir, you heard what the guide said. I used crystal cores to buy items, and he wanted to drive me away. You can report him to the security and arrest him directly, saving you the expense."
Jingtian was stunned again. It turned out that this guy was setting a trap?
Xiaoba looked at Jingtian with an unpleasant expression, with a hint of pleading in his eyes , but he did not say any words of pleading.
"Well...even if he wants to sell you, I don't want to sell you to you, so please get out of the way and don't affect my business."
Jingtian naturally couldn't let this gangster get his wish.
When Xiaoba heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The sturdy young man's face suddenly turned dark.
"I want to buy gasoline, and you refuse to sell it to me?" said the sturdy young man with a dark face.
"Sell, of course. 800 grams of gold for a level 6 crystal core, which is 8 kilograms of oil. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Before Jingtian could refuse, Xiaoba suddenly spoke to the young man loudly and quickly.
Before selling the goods, Xiaoba covered the barrels of oil tightly, so outsiders could not tell how much oil was in the stall.
"Of course I'll buy it." The sturdy young man thought Xiaoba was cheating him, and he said affirmatively with a flash of his eyes.
"good."
The minibus turned to the car and pulled out a bucket of gasoline from under the cover.
It was originally packed with 20 kilograms, and one kilogram was taken out as a sample, so there were still 19 kilograms left.
"Ah? Why are there so many?"
The young man was dumbfounded. Many stalls also sold oil, but most of them only sold one or two kilograms at most, just to attract customers.
If you really want to buy, we will sell you one kilogram at most, and then announce that it is out of stock.
This is a common trick, so many people know it. It is easy to go to two more stalls and buy two or three kilograms, but you really can't buy more.
Xiaoba smiled complacently, found a container from the side, and poured out eight kilograms directly.
After being weighed, it was placed in front of the strong young man.
"Cheng Hui, the level 6 crystal core is 800 gold, and I'll give you 8 kilograms of oil."
Xiaoba stretched out his hand to the young man, and his meaning was very clear: hand over the crystal core.
