Every morning, there are many old people selling vegetables on the street, shouting and selling all kinds of fresh vegetables.
But the strange thing is that the green vegetables that should be sold are rarely interested, and young people would rather go to the supermarket to buy vegetables than buy the vegetables of the old people on the street, the reason behind it is too realistic!
So why are young people reluctant to buy the food of the elderly on the street, and what kind of audience is the street seller?
Selling vegetables on the side of the road
In ancient times, most people lived a self-sufficient life as small farmers, and in order to taste other foods, the ancients would push carts to exchange their own vegetables with other people's dishes, and then gradually evolved into a market market, specializing in the purchase and sale of vegetables.
Nowadays, the vegetable market has been replaced by various large supermarkets and vegetable markets, most people will choose to buy vegetables in these two places, but at the same time, there are also some elderly people who do not have a business license, and will set up stalls on the street to sell some vegetables grown by themselves, claiming that these vegetables are organic vegetables, fresh and pollution-free.
The development of the economy, so that people's concept began to change from full to eat well, people are not satisfied with the vegetables wholesale in the vegetable market, more inclined to the old farmers to grow their own vegetables, no pesticide residues, are organic green cultivated with natural fertilizers several times, think that this vegetable is more beneficial to the body.
Many stalls are also interested in this, in order to grab the market with the supermarket, it will be called green organic and so on, without professional testing, no one can judge whether it is true or false, for a while, these roadside old people sell vegetables are very sought after, but it didn't take long, it became an abnormal decline.
Nowadays, only those middle-aged or elderly people are willing to buy vegetables on the roadside, and there is no doubt that these people are very aware of the price and quality of vegetables, and few young people patronize these vendors, and even say that young people are willing to spend more time in supermarkets to buy, rather than buy from street stalls.
Young people's lives are very compact, there are a lot of things to deal with every day, there is no time to wander around in the stalls, and they prefer to go to the supermarket This unified platform to buy, which is a lot more convenient, only need to buy on demand, and some will have a shopping guide to introduce dishes for you.
In addition to supermarkets, another place for young people to buy groceries is some e-commerce platforms, such as Duoduo Grocery Shopping, which exploded in the past two years. It is more convenient to buy food on these platforms, you only need to move your fingers, you can receive the goods the next day, and there is a guarantee after sales, so that people can buy at ease and eat more comfortably.
But the convenience of supermarkets and e-commerce platforms is only one aspect, and there are many reasons why young people are reluctant to buy vegetables on the street, which can be said to be very important, and under the combined effect of many reasons, it eventually led to this result, and these reasons are not the disadvantages of selling vegetables on the street itself, but more because of the elderly who sell vegetables.
Complex reasons
It is said that at the beginning of people, their nature is good, but the heart of guarding against others is also indispensable, especially when it comes to economic interests, brothers may fall out because of this, let alone strangers. Most of the people selling vegetables on the street are elderly people, who look peaceful, but no one knows what they are actually thinking.
It is said that there is no treacherous business, this is also applicable to the elderly, many old people who set up stalls to sell vegetables, use old-fashioned scales, not to mention young people, the vast majority of middle-aged people can not understand, and the old people also take a fancy to this, when selling, they will deliberately lack catties and two.
Many young people are also defenseless against the elderly, and will buy more of the elderly's vegetables out of sympathy, so that the elderly can go home early, but they don't know that they have been deceived and are still helping others count money. Generally, those old people will not lack too many catties, and young people can't judge it by relying on their hand-held judgment.
Moreover, most young people do not have electronic scales at home, and they cannot determine the final catty of vegetables, even if they have electronic scales, they find that vegetables are less than catty, and they are not willing to go directly to the elderly because of this trivial matter, after all, the elderly belong to the vulnerable group, and they will add unnecessary trouble to themselves if they are not careful.
Some elderly people are still mobile stalls, and they may sell in this place for two days, and they will change their positions, and it is not easy to find them. Young people can only choose to suffer this dumb loss, take it as a warning, show less sympathy, and buy vegetables from the old people on the street, as if they were spending money to buy a lesson.
Buying vegetables on the street, there is also a troublesome thing is bargaining, especially for the older generation, without experiencing a bargain, you always feel at a loss, but young people do not have this tradition, and they are very bold in buying things, which can be understood as generosity and informality.
Some old people who sell vegetables will raise the price when they are selling, waiting for customers to bargain, and young people are unwilling to bargain, which leads to buying vegetables on the roadside, and even more expensive than the same quality in the supermarket.
Even said that some "bad" old people, will deliberately pit young people, young people after all, little experience, many are five fingers do not touch the spring water, the price fluctuations of vegetables are very unfamiliar, the old people in the sale of young vegetables, will deliberately raise the price, young people do not understand this, so they buy at a high price.
After the young people understand the normal price of vegetables, they will not worry about the old man, the most important thing to do business is integrity, for young people, who have deceived him, will no longer have trust, and will not patronize the street stalls selling vegetables in the future, and even will say that relatives and friends, away from street stalls.
We all know that vegetables are more difficult to preserve, especially for those street stalls, a lot of vegetables are lost every day, in order to reduce the loss, some vendors will let the vegetables water again, in order to achieve a fresh feeling, but young people are not stupid, for the freshness of vegetables can still be distinguished at a glance.
When young people are picking fresh vegetables, some old people will deliberately divert the topic, in the name of popularizing science for young people, to sell those less fresh vegetables to them, and confuse young people, which will reduce the young people's favorability towards them.
Once this feeling arises, young people will not make repeat purchases, and they will not take a second look at the stalls selling vegetables in the future. Some elderly people are even more excessive, and in order to sell stale vegetables, they will even drop a bag. Young people have little social experience and trust others easily.
Some scheming old people will take advantage of the young people's inattention, and secretly drop the vegetables selected by the young people, and many young people only find out after they get home. Some are outrageous, when they buy them are whole vegetables, only to find that they are a bunch of rotten vegetable leaves when they go home, and they don't know how the merchant dropped the bag.
Shoddy security
In addition to these, there are also some serious problems with the vegetables sold by the elderly on the street, that is, shoddy quality and safety problems. Young people are willing to buy vegetables from street vendors, more often because they are cheap and green, and the old people on the street start from this point and exaggerate their vegetables.
It may be an ordinary vegetable, or even a vegetable purchased from the wholesale market, but it has to be said that it is grown by itself, using pure natural fertilizers, and the growth process is clean and healthy.
But these old people have to set up stalls every day, claiming that the farm vegetables they grow can never be sold, young people only then understand that they were deceived by the old people, and many old people say that it is impossible to have pesticide residues, and the growth process of vegetables must have insect pests, and there are insects on it without pesticides, just to see whether the pesticide residues meet the standard.
The vegetables in the supermarket are tested by the regulatory department, and they can only be sold if they meet the food standards, and they can also know the source of the vegetables, the vegetables sold by the old people on the street, where there is food testing, and who knows where these vegetables come from, only based on the words of the old man, there is no convincing force.
It is also because of various reasons that young people do not dare to patronize the stalls of the elderly on the street, and most of the people who are willing to buy vegetables here are middle-aged or elderly, after all, they have survived in society for decades, and they are well aware of many tricks and tricks, and they can be seen at a glance that they are not easy to be deceived.
epilogue
Nowadays, with the rapid development of urbanization, people are more willing to buy vegetables on large platforms such as supermarkets, and the after-sales and security are better, and there are very few people who are willing to go to the street to buy vegetables from the stalls of the elderly, and young people are even rarer.
There are many reasons for this, it is undeniable that many of the old people who sell vegetables on the street are very pitiful and rely on selling vegetables to make a living, but there are also many profiteers who specialize in killing young people, no matter what time it is, sympathy cannot be used as a tool to deceive people.
