Chapter 71: Teacher

Bai Ling and Lin Xiaoguo, two girls, stood side by side, looking at Lin Tian on the tree, and hated the same enemy.

"Lin Tian, you are an old-fashioned feudal mentality! This will teach bad children!"

"That's right! My brother is a boy, you can climb a tree, why can't I? I'm also a human being! My brother is a big villain, he doesn't want me to go up a tree, so he uses this kind of bad excuse to fool me!"

Lin Tian was yelled at by the two of them, and he was speechless for a while.

He casually found a taboo that the old man said to scare Lin Xiaoguo, she was always in trouble, and felt that climbing a tree was very dangerous for her, but she didn't expect him to hit a thunderbolt.

"Well, I'm sorry two, I was wrong, I shouldn't be sexist. ”

Bai Ling and Lin Xiaoguo glanced at each other and said, "It's good to know your mistakes, you can't say such things again in the future!"

Lin Tian hurriedly clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.

"There's no next time, the two heroines spare their lives!"

Lin Xiaoguo hugged his shoulders and said in a little adult manner: "Okay, then Sister Bai Ling and I will forgive you, Xiaoguo will not climb the tree anymore because of the danger." ”

Lin Tian smiled, his younger sister was still very reasonable.

The three of them talked and laughed and worked, and time passed quickly.

Bai Ling stopped to wipe his sweat, counted the sacks under the tree by the way, and said to Lin Tian: "I've already picked ten sacks, I can't eat too many at one time, right?"

Lin Tian looked at the situation on the tree, they had only picked a quarter of it so far, and there were already so many, and they would definitely not be able to eat it all at home.

He thought about it and had an idea in his mind.

"Bai Ling, isn't it a market tomorrow? We might as well rent a stall to sell longan, and I'll just tow it by car." ”

Bai Ling smiled and thought of going with her.

"Good idea, such a delicious longan will definitely sell for a good price. ”

Lin Xiaoguo raised his hand high.

"Lin Xiaoguo is also going to sell longan!"

Lin Tian shook his finger at her.

"No, you're about to start school, stay home and do your homework. The market is so crowded that we can't take care of you. Besides, it's very boring to sell things, and you have to keep guarding the stalls all the time, and you can't go anywhere. ”

Lin Xiaoguo pouted reluctantly and bargained with Lin Tian.

"Well, I'm doing my homework at home. But, brother, can you bring me kueh meat back at the market?"

Lin Tian knew that she was very hungry for kueh pork, which is a snack, and the tofu is coated with horseshoe pork and shallots, and the skin is crispy on the outside, and the inside is tender and crispy and sweet.

"Okay, I'll buy you kueh pork, and you do your homework at home. ”

Lin Xiaoguo's treacherous plan succeeded, and he squeezed his eyes at Bai Ling, very proud.

Early the next morning, Lin Tian drove a pickup truck with a longan in the back cargo box and took Bai Ling to the market together.

Lin Tian had never sold anything in the market, and he was a little excited.

Bai Ling is more experienced than him, she has gone to the market alone to sell things since she was a child.

Lin Tian went to the market and, under Bai Ling's instructions, stopped at an empty seat.

It was the stall where Bai Ling had sold things before, Lin Tian thought that they had already arrived early, but he didn't expect that there were already people in the stalls next to him.

Lin Tian saw that several stalls next to him were selling fruits, and two of them were selling longan.

Recently, it is the time when the longan is ripe and it is also the end of the summer vacation, and the fruit farmers take advantage of the market day as a good opportunity to try to sell all the fruits.

It can be said that there are only a few market days in the peak season of longan.

The three fruit sellers looked at the arrival of Lin Tian and the others, and their eyes were a little jealous.

There is another competitor, there are so many guests, and they also score the guests out, which is equivalent to taking money out of their pockets.

In the face of their unkind eyes, Lin Tian was indifferent.

Bai Ling greeted a middle-aged man with a kind face.

"Uncle Qiang, what a coincidence, you also came to set up a stall today!"

Uncle Qiang recognized Bai Ling a few times, and finally saw a trace of a birthmark from the place where the hair on the right side of her face was covered, and then he suddenly realized.

"It's Xiaobai, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're wearing a hat, I really don't recognize you. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Tian, who was lifting the cloth of the cargo box, revealing a dragon's eye.

"Xiaobai, you sell longan?"

Uncle Qiang was the first time Bai Ling came to the market to set up a stall, when she was still young, ignorant and at a loss, Uncle Qiang saw her pitiful and taught her a lot of knowledge about setting up a stall.

Uncle Qiang can be regarded as Bai Ling's mentor in setting up stalls, and many stall owners in the market were afraid of her birthmark at that time, but Uncle Qiang showed kindness to her and was a good person.

When Bai Ling saw his "teacher", his smile was a little more real, and he changed his cringe attitude in front of others, and he was generous.

"Yes, Uncle Qiang. This is a longan planted in my friend's house, just a tree, this year there is a lot of fruit, I can't eat it, so I take it out and sell it. ”

The conversation between Bai Ling and Uncle Qiang, several stall owners next to him all pricked up their ears to listen, and when they heard this, their hostility weakened a lot.

They contracted longans grown in orchards, and there were more goods.

Lin Tian is a home-grown longan, and the number is limited, at most it comes out to make a small fuss, which is not a problem.

Uncle Qiang glanced at Lin Tian, who was busy, and asked quietly.

"This guy looks pretty energetic, is that your boyfriend?"

Bai Ling blushed, shook his head and said, "No, it's a friend." ”

Uncle Qiang obviously didn't believe Bai Ling's words, smiled ambiguously at Bai Ling, and didn't say anything.

Lin Tian turned around, lifted half of the cloth of the cargo box, and pasted a few pieces of written paper on the three sides of the body, so that people from all sides of the market could see it.

"My own century-old longan tree, fifty yuan a catty. The quantity is limited, if you are interested in buying it, you can try one, do not disturb if you are sincere. ”

A stall owner glanced at the advertising slogan written by Lin Tian, his eyes widened, and he sneered.

"Fifty yuan a pound of longan?"

Hearing his words, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Tian's direction.

When they saw the big words "fifty yuan a catty" written on the paper, they gasped and looked at Lin Tian as if they were looking at a fool.

"Fifty yuan a catty, I've never seen a longan sold so expensive in my life, made of gold?"

"A hundred-year-old tree, the variety is very poor, and it is definitely not delicious. It's not delicious, and you want to sell your feelings? Hehe, I want to see who buys your account in the market. ”

"Young people are crazy about money, and they don't dare to sell imported longan at this sky-high price. ”

Lin Tian smiled, noncommittal.

However, Uncle Qiang hesitated for a moment and pulled Bai Ling to whisper.

"Xiaobai, will your friend's price be too high? Fifty yuan a pound is too exaggerated.

The price of our longan has been negotiated in advance, and it will not be too far apart, the price is five to eight yuan a catty, and you will not be able to sell it in this way. ”

What he hasn't said yet is that this price will be laughed at miserably.

Bai Ling also felt a little absurd, she glanced at Lin Tian, Lin Tian raised his eyebrows at her and smiled, looking confident.

Her mind changed for a moment, and her expression calmed down.

"Thank you Uncle Qiang for reminding me, the longan belongs to my friend, he sells as much as he wants, I'm just here to help. ”

Uncle Qiang shook his head and wanted to persuade him a few more words. Bai Ling is equivalent to what he grew up watching, and he can't let her mess around and waste time doing useless work.
