A vegetable buyer in the eyes of a vegetable seller

? Anyone familiar with Ma Xuan knows that I am the daughter of a farmer who grew up in the countryside. My parents have been digging hard to grow vegetables and sell vegetables since they went ashore in 1980. I will associate my feelings with this land and its value-added products.

? My mother is definitely one of the few capable women in the village. Whether planting crops or vegetables, she is the first. She is quick to do things, flexible in mind, loud in selling vegetables, able to observe and talk, and articulate. I especially admire my mother's cleverness in selling vegetables. When selling vegetables in the market, the same food can always sell at a higher price than the nearby stalls. My mother only went to the second grade of primary school, and her study was still intermittent, but 36 years of experience in selling vegetables made her really good at accounting, and she even reported the price of vegetables when she lost the scale. I didn't study marketing in college. Thanks to countless readers, years of experience in selling vegetables, and speculation about the appearance and language of the people who buy vegetables, my mother can quickly tell who the potential customers are, only asking about the price of vegetables and not buying vegetables for the time being, and then going back to buy them after a trip. Who is a loyal customer? They will definitely buy it after asking the price. Who are the tourists? They are asking exorbitant prices in food stalls full of markets, only asking if they want to buy them.

I watched my parents tirelessly selling vegetables since I was a child, and I couldn't help but understand their hardships. Especially in middle age, when I see that my elderly parents are still unwilling to accept their old age and try their best to grow vegetables and sell them, all I can do is to help them as much as possible during my free holidays, so sometimes I will go to the vegetable market to help my mother sell vegetables together.

? I helped my mother sell vegetables more often and gradually summed up some experiences. At the same time, I think that if you carefully observe the two most common trading behaviors in daily life, you can find out the different attitudes and personality characteristics of different food buyers.

? I learn from my mother's enthusiasm to greet customers passing by my food stall, explain the price of vegetables to customers who ask for prices, and introduce the appearance of the dishes sold. At the same time, I have to look at the customers who stop in front of the booth and take a look at the food, waiting for them to ask the price, or asking them enthusiastically if they need it. This process is a speculation about the psychology and character of the customer in front of me, which especially exercises people's eyesight and observation.

? I have observed several people who buy food. First of all, they are cooks and cooks. Hehe, you know, most of these people are owners, proprietresses or full-time buyers of small restaurants in hotels. Most of them have a planned purchase menu in their hands, carrying baskets or carts, and are basically the first big customers to come to the food stalls, and soon they will get the purchase plan in a planned and purposeful way. This kind of vegetable buyer is naturally the favorite customer who sells vegetables because of the large quantity. Of course, the large discount is naturally given to them by the stall owner.

Another kind of people who buy food are loving couples. They usually take their partners to the vegetable market around 9: 00 after breakfast and pack them properly. This kind of people are very casual and generally like to stroll around the vegetable market slowly. It's interesting to watch couples buy vegetables, because whoever chooses vegetables actively can basically guess who is the chef. If the family is the wife's chef, it is usually the husband who carries the bag for his wife, quietly waits for her to choose the food, and then naturally takes over the food paid by her. If the wife is waiting and the husband is picking vegetables, it can basically be inferred that most of the chefs at home are chefs. Gentlemen in Chongqing still respect their wives very much. Generally, I will ask the ladies around me what they like to eat, and the side dishes that women like to eat will be picked up and taken away neatly after buying. No matter who the chef is, such a kind, loving couple, whether young or old, who discuss the amount of shopping together, is enviable. After all, we are ordinary couples, not immortal couples who don't eat human fireworks.

Another group of people who buy food are men and women who buy food alone. Here we should distinguish between unmarried and married people. Generally unmarried people, both men and women, are the most decisive customers of food stalls. In the words of Chongqing people, they are honest and frank. They generally don't like to spend more time shopping and generally don't bargain after asking the price. They always pick it quickly and buy it immediately, and they won't haggle over it when they meet a corner or two. However, if you meet a married nanny and father who can live, no matter middle-aged or old, you are absolutely striving for perfection in choosing dishes. They usually visit the whole vegetable market first, look at the appearance of the dishes first, compare the unit price difference of similar dishes, and then choose the dishes. Their eyes are discerning, they will carefully turn the dishes over and over, and the yellow leaves that have not been picked at all will be carefully broken off. They will also carefully look at whether the seller's weighing is true and whether there is a shortage. Of course, they are also the best bargainers, and sometimes they say to the vegetable sellers, forget about a dime and give money like this. This frugal food buyer is usually called "sour" by vegetable vendors in Chongqing dialect, that is, difficult customers.

? It is often said that reading thousands of books is better than reading Wan Li Road, and reading Wan Li Road is better than reading countless people. I think my mother must have observed so many different food buyers in the decades of selling vegetables, and then groped and summed up the marketing experience of dealing with different food buyers, and successfully sold her own dishes at a good price.
