Chapter 102: Rushing to the Market
After separating from He Bingbing, Yu Zehai walked alone in the direction of the market.
The bazaar, at best, is just a street in Panlong Town, where the usual flow of people is very small, and there are generally only a few original residents living on the street, so most of the time, the whole street is empty.
But every market day, the people of the villages under the jurisdiction of the whole Panlong Town, as long as there is a need to buy and sell at home, will gather there, plus the people who go to join in the fun, as well as the businessmen who rush from other places, the scene is very spectacular, often the whole street is crowded with people and everyone pushes people.
Panlong Town has a monthly 369 gathering.
That is, the 3rd, 13th, 23rd, 6th, 16th, 26th, 9th, 19th, and 29th of each month are all assembly days in Panlong Town. Such frequent large-scale gatherings also reflect from the side that the life of the Chinese people is getting better and better, with more and more agricultural and sideline products in every household, and material exchanges becoming more and more frequent.
When Yu Zehai arrived on this street, it was only a little past ten o'clock, and the flow of people in the market began to soar at this time. Calculating the time, basically all the people who rushed to the market at this point have already set off on the way, and even most of them are about to arrive. So, usually between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., the market is at its busiest.
On market days, there is a lot of traffic on the streets, and there are many people buying and selling goods, but the scene is not chaotic. Because here, the Panlong town government has a strict regional division for buying and selling things in the market. For example, there are places that specialize in selling vegetables, those who sell livestock have territories that specialize in selling livestock, and those who sell clothing and daily necessities also have their own exclusive areas. In this way, not only does it make the whole market orderly, but it also makes it easier for people to buy what you want to buy and sell, as long as you find a place that specializes in selling that kind of thing, and you don't have to crowd the streets to find things.
At this time, although the flow of people was large, it was not crowded, Yu Zehai walked around, and at the same time looked left and right curiously, after all, for him, it was still many years ago.
"Ancestral craftsmanship, authentic Panlong Town Sugar Man! Not only delicious, but also good-looking, don't buy it, come and see it......"
"Pickles and pickles! Two dollars a pound, not delicious and no money......"
"Rock sugar gourd! children can't wet the bed after eating, adults are panicking after eating, five cents a string, come and buy it......"
......
All kinds of loud shouts and shouts, bargaining, and the hearty laughter of acquaintances and friends were intertwined, Yu Zehai's ears could be said to be devastated, and his eyes were even more unblinking to see what was strange on the street.
Most of the things in the bazaar are aimed at the villagers from the villages under the jurisdiction of Panlong Town, so the overall price is not too much cheaper than in the big cities outside. It's just that he knows in his heart that he can wear as many shoes as he wants, and for those villagers who don't have much money in their pockets, good quality and low price are the business experience!
In the bazaar, not to mention more than 1,000 yuan, even more than 100 yuan of clothes, few people will be interested! Because of the different levels of consumption, the rich people choose those high-end luxury goods, usually only believing in the price. In those luxury stores in the metropolis, if someone really wants to price LV bags for 1,000 yuan, no one will dare to buy them!
"Boss, bring me a basket of xiaolongbao!"
Yu Zehai came to a stall, took out the change and said with a smile.
"Okay, little brother, wait a minute!"
Paying for the goods, Yu Zehai took out a bun and put it in his mouth and took a bite, it was still the taste of his childhood. Yu Zehai is very familiar with this shop, when he was still in junior high school in Panlong Town, he ate steamed buns in this shop.
"It tastes good! It's still a familiar taste!" Yu Zehai nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand at the boss, and walked forward with the flow of people.
"Huh, that's?"
Yu Zehai, who was eating steamed buns on the side, seemed to have suddenly found something he was interested in, and quickly pushed aside the crowd and walked towards a position.
Wild animals!
There are living creatures, and there is also meat that is well hunted.
Yu Zehai looked at it, in addition to the more common rabbits and pheasants, there were also second- and third-level protected animals and the "three haves" list. If this is placed in some metropolis, it will definitely be arrested in the yamen to drink the old man's tea.
If the people don't raise it, the officials won't be held accountable!
In this small place of Panlong Town, as long as you don't go too far, don't pay attention to those famous people, no one will be idle to report you.
Yu Zehai leaned in and took a look, and most of the game was locked in bamboo cages or tied to his legs and feet with ropes and thrown on the ground.
"I said old lame, don't you talk nonsense anywhere! Isn't it just two pheasants, you actually want to sell them for a hundred yuan, why don't you go and grab them?"
"That's it! Everyone is a villager, this market is transparent, who doesn't know the price of this thing? It would be good to be able to sell it for fifty yuan in total, your price is too!"
"Yes, the two of them are fifty together, how about this transaction if it can be done? If you really don't sell it, then forget it......"
When selling things in the countryside, it is rare to have a clear price. All buying and selling transactions need to be negotiated by both parties, so it is inevitable that some things will be sold at a low price, but I have never heard of someone being able to sell them at a premium.
Yu Zehai watched from the side for a while, and stepped forward to buy fat rabbits, pheasants, and yellow eels. Originally, Yu Zehai still wanted to catch all the game, but when he saw the strange eyes of everyone next to him, he could only give up.
Not long after squeezing into the crowd, the things he was carrying in his hand were thrown into the space of the tower. When passing by a stall selling chickens and ducks, Yu Zehai couldn't help but take a few more looks, the stall owner was an old man with a rickety back, and at first glance he was from the working people of the village.
"Old man, are these chicken babies and duck babies all bred in your family?" asked Yu Zehai with a smile.
"Yes!" The old man saw someone talking, and hurriedly responded: "The baby in the family has opened a breeding farm, this is not today's fair, the children are busy, so I took some chickens and ducks over and helped exchange a few oil and salt money." ”
"Old man, which village are you from, and what is the size of your family's farm?" asked Yu Zehai.
"Tongmugou, my name is Zhang Tiezhu!" The old man scratched the back of his head, opened his mouth full of big yellow teeth and said: "In the past, when the benefits were good, there were tens of thousands of poultry of all kinds, but now it is difficult to make money, so the farm is becoming more and more sluggish. As for the rest of the number, there should be four or five thousand. ”
Yu Zehai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said in his heart, this is a good opportunity! If you can put the other party's plate next, this will save a lot of process and time. It's just that it's not going to work for the time being, first, the road at the entrance of the village has not been opened yet, and the other is that his own breeding farm has not been planned!
"Alas, time!"
Yu Zehai sighed in his heart.
Coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, that is, the department store, the cigarettes and tea that my father ordered to prepare were also purchased. Passing by the land selling meat products, when he saw the fresh pork on the board and the fresh fish in the water cluster box, Yu Zehai swallowed his saliva and turned around and walked directly in one direction.
A few minutes later.
Yu Zehai walked into a store, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Boss, do you have a freezer here?"
At this time, there are also many customers in the specialty store looking through various small objects. Hearing Yu Zehai's shout, a chubby middle-aged man, that is, the owner of this household appliance store, ran over quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh! It turned out to be Brother Yu, hello, hello! What? This time I want to buy a freezer? Coincidentally, this is not today's market, my store just delivered two refrigerators last afternoon! Brother Yu, you come with me!" After speaking, the boss stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, leading Yu Zehai to the innermost part of the store.
"Hmm!"
"Brother Yu, take a look, it's these two!" The fat boss pointed to the two freezers in front of him and said with a smile: "Okma, a well-known trademark in Huaxia, the manufacturer is also a leader in China's home appliance industry, and the quality is guaranteed!
"Okma, this brand is okay!"
Yu Zehai nodded and said, "Fat boss, try if there is a problem with the things, and then give me a suitable price, if it can be done, I will get it away in a while!
"The price is easy to say, not to mention that it's not the first time we've dealt with each other!" Hearing Yu Zehai's words, the boss's excited eyes were about to squint together, but he knew that the little brother in front of him was not bad for money, so he quickly nodded his round head and said proudly: "As long as it is within the scope of our Panlong Town, as long as there is a highway, our store will deliver it to the door." However, little brother, where is your village, brother, I can only arrange for someone to send it to the end of the road, please forgive me for this!"
"No problem!"
Yu Zehai moved the freezer in front of him, and said in his heart, It's okay! Although it looks like this thing is quite big, it actually weighs a lot, at least, he can easily carry it.
Yu Zehai chose another rice cooker and microwave oven, and measured hundreds of meters of indoor wires, light bulbs and other lighting equipment, and then paid.
"Fat boss, please ask your driver to wait for me for half an hour, I'll go buy a plate of pork, and help me bring it by the way." ”
"No problem!"
Bidding farewell to the fat boss, Yu Zehai got into the crowd and squeezed straight towards the place where aquatic products and meat were sold in the market. Now that we have freezers and free ride-on delivery, wouldn't it be a waste of resources if you didn't make a lot of purchases?
Fresh pork, and all kinds of live fish, come to the bowl!
