Chapter 263 Differential Treatment
As the convoy approached the county town, Wu Han spotted a familiar face in the distance. It was none other than Zhang He, who often stopped outside the city gate.
"Brother Wu."
Zhang He naturally noticed Wu Han as well, and greeted him with a smile, "Just got back from Chenjia Village?"
In the past, Zhang He would always have a look of envy in his eyes whenever he saw Wu Han's caravan returning to the city, but now he no longer needs to envy them!
He has already obtained Chen Dao's approval to do business with Chenjia Village. He is currently making some preparations, and it will not be long before he can officially start trading with Chenjia Village.
"Yes!"
Wu Han nodded, also smiling broadly, and said, "Officer Zhang, would you like to take a chicken home to eat?"
"No need!"
Zhang He waved his hand, "Brother Wu, hurry up and go into the city, lest you delay your business."
"Alright, I'll go in first then. See you later, Officer Zhang!"
With Zhang He there, Wu Han's entry into the city was naturally extremely smooth.
Before long, the caravan that passed through the city gate arrived at the East Market.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Han now has a fixed location for his stall in the East Market. Of course, it is not a shop, but an open-air space.
After arriving at his usual stall location, Wu Han asked Zhang Ming and others to unload the chicken coop from the car. Then, he and the others stood by the chicken coop, waiting for customers to come.
"Hey, Mr. Wu."
Before long, a woman came to the stall and greeted Wu Han with a smile, "You have chickens again?"
Wu Han looked up and replied with a smile, "Yes! There are quite a few chickens this time. Would Madam Liu like a few?"
Madam Liu was a regular customer of Wu Han's, often buying poultry from his stall, so Wu Han had some impression of her.
"I do want to buy two to make soup."
Mrs. Liu hesitated and asked, "But... how much does this chicken cost?"
"Not expensive at all!"
Wu Han said with a smile, "Madam Liu, as you know, my yellow-feathered chickens have been getting cheaper and cheaper lately. This time, we have a lot of yellow-feathered chickens delivered, so the price can be even lower."
Wu Han paused for a moment, then held up five fingers: "Five hundred coins each, Madam Liu, what do you think?"
Five hundred liters?
Madam Liu frowned. She had bought a yellow-feathered chicken from Wu Han before, and the price was 600 coins per chicken. Now it was 500 coins, which was indeed much cheaper, but... there should still be room for negotiation.
After a moment's thought, Madam Liu said, "Mr. Wu, I don't have much money. How about 450 coins per animal?"
"This……"
Wu Han then feigned a troubled expression: "Madam Liu, as you know, these yellow-feathered chickens are quite rare. Selling them for 450 coins each would mean I, Old Wu, would lose money!"
You're losing money my ass!
Mrs. Liu, who often haggled with vendors, rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, alright! Old Wu, stop trying to be nice to me. It's 450 coins each, give me two!"
"This……"
Wu Han pretended to be in pain and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine! 450 coins it is. I, Old Wu, will make a loss this once!"
After saying this, Wu Han took two yellow-feathered chickens with their feet tied from the cage and handed them to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu then took out one tael of silver from her purse: "Give me 100 coins in change!"
"okay!"
Wu Han readily gave Madam Liu the change, and after the money and goods were settled, Madam Liu left with the two yellow-feathered chickens.
Meanwhile, more and more people were gathering in front of Wu Han's stall.
"Old Wu, what's the price of your yellow-feathered chickens today?"
"Boss, this chicken looks good, how much is it?"
"This chicken looks so festive! It's big too, there must be a lot of meat in it!"
"..."
The people who gathered included Wu Han's acquaintances and strangers, and without exception, they all wanted to buy yellow-feathered chickens.
Wu Han welcomed everyone without hesitation, and said with a smile, "Look everyone, this is the famous Yellow Feather Chicken! Its golden feathers symbolize wealth and prosperity, and it's also very large. One chicken is more than enough for a family of five. As for the price... it's only five hundred coins a chicken!"
"Five hundred coins each? That's a reasonable price!"
"It's really good! This chicken looks like it weighs six or seven pounds. After slaughtering and removing the feathers, it will weigh four or five pounds. It's definitely enough for a family to eat."
"That's true!"
"..."
The unfamiliar guest nodded silently.
A customer familiar with Wu Han couldn't help but say, "Old Wu, don't try to fool us. I just saw Madam Liu buy two yellow-feathered chickens from you. How come you sold them to Madam Liu for 450 coins, but they became 500 coins to us?"
"Uh……"
A barely perceptible look of embarrassment flashed across Wu Han's face as he quickly said, "That Mrs. Liu is a regular customer of mine, so I should at least give her some discounts, shouldn't I?"
"What are you saying? Madam Liu is a regular customer, but aren't we?"
"Old Wu, I've bought poultry from you at least ten times, and you don't even treat me like a regular customer?"
"You old Wu, you don't recognize me after just a few days?"
"..."
Wu Han's regular customers were immediately unhappy. Madam Liu was a regular customer of Wu Han, and so were they. How come Madam Liu was sold for 450 coins a piece, but they were sold for 500 coins a piece?
Isn't this discriminatory treatment?
"Stop, stop, stop."
Wu Han couldn't stand the noise any longer and hurriedly said, "I'll sell them to you for 450 coins each, is that alright?"
"That's more like it! 450 coins each, give me two."
"I'll have two too."
"Give me five."
"..."
Upon seeing Wu Han lower the price, the regular customers' anger turned to laughter, and they all took out their coins to buy yellow-feathered chickens.
Those customers who were not familiar with Wu Han felt they had gotten a good deal after seeing Wu Han lower the price by 50 coins, and hurriedly took out their money bags to buy yellow-feathered chickens from Wu Han.
In no time at all, 50 of the 66 yellow-feathered chickens that Wu Han brought were sold!
"Earn 150 coins per bird, so 50 birds would yield a profit of seven taels and five taels of silver..."
Wu Han counted his profits on his fingers, his heart filled with joy. Although the price of yellow-feathered chickens had decreased, resulting in less profit per chicken, he could make up for it with quantity!
In the past, Wu Han could only bring back about 20 yellow-feathered chickens each time he returned from Chenjia Village, but now that number has tripled.
Therefore, although the profit per yellow-feathered chicken is less, the total profit is no less than before, and may even be more than before!
after all……
There are still 16 yellow-feathered chickens in the cage that haven't been sold yet!
"boss!"
Just as Wu Han was happily counting his money, an elderly man dressed in fine clothes stood in front of the stall, looked at the yellow-feathered chickens in the cage, and asked, "How much is one of your chickens?"
