New experience of selling vegetables
Trainees: Hsin-he, Jia-ling, and Ya-jun
Afterthoughts:
Today, we intend to go to Mr. Lin's
in Luchou Market to help him with selling vegetables. At the very start, Mr. Lin asked us to help him to
fill the pickles into packs. He asked us to be careful due to the pickles were
oily! As a preliminary step, our packs were not that nice, simply too bad!
Fortunately, he directed and encouraged us, thus we became skilled on packing,
when we finished packing pickles, our hands became waterproof, the water slid
on our hands, it's so funny. And then we were to sell vegetables practically!
Because we didn't know the price of each food, if you were on the site, you
would always hear, "Aunt! How much is this?" such cry rose one after
another; Of course, we were probably not familiar with it at the beginning, but
all of us tried our best to experience every bit of market in order to know all
things about market. I felt the busyness and toils of a vendor in the
course of selling food! We felt Mr. Lin was very active and affable, we
actually didn't realize he was already 47 years old! Finally, thank him for giving us such a chance
of experience!

Although it's oily, we are packing the pickles
earnestly!
|
Besides learning to do various things, we shall
not be careless in sorting things out!
|
Pack the food selected by customers carefully.

New experience of selling meat
Trainees: Hsin-rong, Jia-ling
Afterthoughts:
Today we went to the traditional
market to see someone selling pork, we felt it's not easy to do business in the
market! Because a whole row there was selling pork, that's really a severe
competition! Although we didn't actually sell pork (because
teacher said it's hazardous for us), both of us thought selling pork was really
a toilsome work! We learn many things
such as the pork shall be fresh, the price shall be lower than others', the
vendor shall have a loud voice and good knife skill (he shall dare touch the
pork), and he shall know the characteristic and taste of meat, cooking method
and pork parts, and he shall treat the customers with an amiable smile from
instant to instant. However, the vendor of pork said, "Only such
earnest can make my business prosperous!"
New experience in sundry goods
Trainees: Jun Chang, Hsiao-nai
Afterthoughts:
When we got to the shop, the grandma vendor of sundry goods introduced
those goods in her shop and prices to us firstly, only remembering there made
both of us dizzy (it's more difficult than sociology)! When the first customer entered, we felt a bit shy
because we didn't know how to serve him! And we found that we couldn't read the
platform balance! Grandma had no choice but to teach us before the customer,
though we kept him waiting for a while, but maybe he was a frequent customer,
he didn't get angry. From the second customer, we became a bit skilled.
However, we still made small mistakes sometimes, such as taking wrong bags,
dropping goods when packing or being unable to bound bags etc. Fortunately, the customer and grandma vendor
made allowances for we were new comers, so they didn't mind! But we thought if
someone doing business awkwardly just like us, maybe all customers would run
away! Today we learned many common knowledge of trade
and we had lots of fun, it's really a memorable experience!

Serve the customers well!

Doing business is not easy! Cheer up!
