Chapter 616 Come here because of fame
"Boss, I'd like two chickens too, this is 500 coins."
"I want two ducks, 700 coins for you."
"I want a chicken and a duck, that'll cost 600 coins in total, right?"
"Boss, stop standing there and get to selling!"
"..."
Others also pulled out their money bags, eagerly asking Zhang He to buy their items. For a moment, the constant requests to buy from him made Zhang He's head buzz, and he couldn't tell who was speaking at all.
"Quiet down, everyone!"
Left with no other option, Zhang He had to shout loudly to quiet everyone down.
After everyone quieted down, Zhang He asked, "Are you all here to buy yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks?"
"Of course! I came here because of your reputation, boss, you must sell me two chickens."
"Of course we're here to buy chickens and ducks! Do you think we'd just wander around this market?"
"Boss, sell me the ducks quickly."
"..."
After receiving affirmative answers from everyone, Zhang He was secretly pleased. His prediction was indeed correct. In just one day, the names of the yellow-feathered chicken and the white-feathered duck became well-known throughout Yongliang County.
These two types of livestock, which are of good quality and inexpensive, have gained the approval of the people of Yongliang County, who have come to buy them spontaneously.
"Everyone, please be patient. Let me set up the stall first."
Zhang He first gestured for everyone to make way for him, and then led the skinny monkey and other men to quickly set up a stall, placing the yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks that were kept in cages on the stall.
The people of Yongliang County were delighted to see the yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks appear.
"Old Li really didn't lie to me; they really are yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks."
"These yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks look very plump and delicious, they must taste great."
"I tried a bite at my neighbor's house yesterday, and this yellow-feathered chicken is indeed very juicy and the meat is much better than that of the gray-feathered chicken!"
"Yes! My neighbor bought a yellow-feathered chicken yesterday, and it smelled amazing when he cooked it last night. I could smell it even in my own house."
"..."
The crowd surrounding the stall was eager to get their hands on the goods.
Zhang He then took two yellow-feathered chickens out of the cage, tied their feet, and handed them to the man who paid first: "Sir, these are your yellow-feathered chickens."
"Okay, thank you, boss!"
The man accepted the yellow-feathered chicken with a beaming smile, his expression one of excitement.
Judging from the number of people at the market, the yellow-feathered chickens were definitely in short supply today, so he was very happy to be the first to buy one.
After seeing that the man had already bought the yellow-feathered chicken, the others couldn't sit still any longer.
"Boss, give me two too."
"I want three."
"I want two white-feathered ducks."
"I want a chicken and a duck, this is 600 coins."
"..."
Others took out their money bags to buy chickens and ducks from Zhang He, and in no time, the number of chickens and ducks on Zhang He's stall visibly decreased.
Seeing this, many people who hadn't yet bought chickens and ducks became anxious.
"Boss, give me two chickens quickly, or we'll run out."
"Hurry up, I need to buy chicken."
"The ducks are almost all gone, why haven't you given them to me yet!"
"..."
As people became increasingly eager to buy, the domestic ducks on the stall were soon completely gone.
"Boss, do you still have chickens or ducks in your truck?"
A man who arrived late looked at the empty stall, which only had a few chicken and duck feathers left, and asked.
"Gone!"
Zhang He shook his head. He had only brought 500 chickens and ducks in total. He sold about 200 yesterday and more than 200 today. They were all sold out, not a single one was left.
"Ah? That's it?"
"How hateful! Why didn't I come sooner!"
"Boss, how do you run your business? Why don't you bring more chickens and ducks?"
"..."
Many people who hadn't been able to buy chickens and ducks looked disappointed; they were among the latecomers who happened to find the chickens and ducks sold out.
"Dear guests, please don't be disappointed."
Seeing the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang He comforted them, saying, "I'll bring some more chickens and ducks to sell in a while, and you can come and buy them then."
"Is it true?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. They thought that if they missed out on these "good quality and cheap" chickens and ducks, they would never have them again. But judging from Zhang He's words, there would be more chickens and ducks in the future.
"Of course!"
Zhang He smiled and nodded: "I have a stable source of yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks in Qingzhou. I will transport chickens and ducks here to sell every now and then. If you want to buy, you can come back next time."
"Great!"
"Haha! Does that mean we can eat these cheap and plump chickens and ducks often from now on?"
"Good! Great!"
"..."
The crowd cheered, overjoyed at the thought of being able to buy such affordable chickens and ducks regularly.
"boss!"
Just then, a thoughtful woman asked, "Will the chickens and ducks be sold at the same price next time?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Zhang He.
As we all know, merchants are profit-driven. The yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks are selling so well this time, even to the point of being in short supply. It's hard to guarantee that the merchant won't raise prices next time they're sold.
"Do not worry."
Zhang He replied with a smile, "The prices will remain the same next time. Yellow-feathered chickens will still cost 250 coins each, and white-feathered ducks will still cost 350 coins each."
"That's great! The boss is so generous."
"Haha! The boss is definitely the most honest businessman I've ever met."
"The boss is a really nice person, completely different from those unscrupulous businessmen."
"That's right! If it were any other unscrupulous merchant, with chickens and ducks selling so well, they would probably have raised the price long ago, maybe even to 500 coins apiece."
“500 coins is not enough. Just look at the appearance of these yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks. Do you believe other merchants can sell them for one or two taels of silver each?”
"I believe you! Those scoundrels are not even human; they're always trying to suck our blood."
"..."
While cursing the unscrupulous merchant, the crowd also praised Zhang He.
Hearing the praise from everyone, Zhang He smiled. The reason he set the price of yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks so low was not only because chickens and ducks in Chenjia Village were cheap, but also because he wanted to benefit the people of Liangzhou.
Zhang He, who was born in Liangzhou, had some special feelings for this land and some sympathy for its people. Therefore, he was willing to lower the prices of yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks as much as possible while ensuring his own interests, so that the people of Liangzhou could also eat meat and gain satisfaction and happiness.
"Boss, we'll be going now. I'll come back to patronize you next time you're here."
"Boss, I'm leaving too."
"Boss, will you be selling goods here again next time?"
"Here I am."
"Then I'm relieved."
"..."
