Chapter 65 The stall of Shan
"Huh, Xiao Su?"
When Su Nian was waiting for the food to be served, and casually chatting with Lin Li about the more famous commercial street in Shanyan, he heard someone suddenly shouting.
As soon as Su Nian turned around, he was suddenly a little speechless.
The old man he met on the high-speed train walked in from the gate, waved his hand at the waiter who greeted him, and walked directly to Su Nian's table.
"I said why did you tell me that you were not on the way! I also saw you go with me in the car, it turned out that you came to see your little girlfriend, what are you ashamed!"
Shy of you...... Su Nian said helplessly: "It's just about business." ”
"Go to Juxinzhai to talk about business?" The old man obviously didn't believe it: "Don't say it, I understand!"
Su Nian looked at Lin Li and found that she was not embarrassed at all, but looked at Su Nian curiously, not knowing what Su Nian had to do with this old man.
"Uncle, is your party also here?" Su Nian had to divert the topic.
"Yes, it's here!" the uncle said: "Old man Chen said that he had set the best table of wine banquet in Juxinzhai, and he was as poor as I was with the steamed buns. ”
Su Nian's heart moved and asked, "How much does it cost for the best table of banquets?"
The old man mysteriously stretched out five fingers, and Su Nian asked, "Fifty thousand?"
The old man shook his head again and again: "Add one more zero." ”
Su Nian was taken aback in his heart, 500,000 yuan for a meal, is it gold?
Although he said that his old friend was poor and showy, the old man was obviously very proud: "Scared, right? I heard the old man Chen say that it was cooked by the top master of Juxinzhai, and if it was placed in the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor could eat it." ”
"Then you are all emperors. Su Nian said casually.
The old man snorted: "The emperor let them go! I am not the emperor, I have to be the emperor." ”
Su Nian and Lin Li were stunned for a moment, and they both laughed "poof".
"Old man Wu, who are you going to be your father? I haven't said a word in my mouth all day!" As he spoke, another old man walked out from outside.
Different from Uncle Wu's thinness, this old man who just came was slightly rich, with shiny hair, and walked in with a shy belly, full of style.
The waiter hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen." ”
"Hmm. Mr. Chen snorted lightly, didn't look at the waiter, walked directly to Uncle Wu's side and asked, "Who are these two?"
Uncle Wu said: "I met him on the train, a very interesting boy. ”
"Then what are you talking to them? Hurry up, I just got a bottle of good wine, and while Wang Fang didn't come, let's steal two glasses first!"
Su Nian took a sip of water from the water cup, as if he hadn't heard Mr. Chen's words.
Uncle Wu didn't care, just patted Su Nian on the shoulder, and almost slapped the water cup in his hand, and the water was all over his hand.
"Su boy, I'm leaving, see you soon!"
Su Nian wiped his hands: "Goodbye." ”
Mr. Chen dragged the old man Wu into a private room, and the waiter began to serve the dishes they had ordered earlier.
Lin Li looked at the backs of the two old men and whispered, "This is too rude, isn't it?"
Su Nian smiled: "Don't you know that Uncle Wu, it's just a person who is crazy, it is estimated that there are a lot of times when he meets a person on the road, and his friends must know." ”
"Oh. Lin Li thought about it too.
If you always like to make friends casually like Uncle Wu, as his real old friend, you probably have enough of it, and of course you won't be polite to a friend like Su Nian who was casually "picked up" by Uncle Wu.
And this Mr. Chen does seem to be a person with status.
When the meal was served, Su Nian and Lin Li did not continue to talk about Uncle Wu, but continued the previous topic of the commercial street.
After tasting the dishes of Juxinzhai, Su Nian was pleasantly surprised: "Sure enough, it is a secret recipe dish of a centuries-old brand, and the taste is really different, I can't tell how to make it." ”
"Senior Su still knows how to cook?" Lin Li asked.
"Understand a little, it is more convenient to live alone and cook by yourself. ”
"Alas, that's great!" Lin Li said: "I want to work hard like a senior in the future, but unfortunately I don't have any ability or self-confidence." ”
Su Nian persuaded: "What's the good thing about working hard by yourself? If you are tired and tired, it is better to study hard and find a good job in the future, and the kind with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan." ”
Lin Li smiled: "How can such a job be so easy to find?
"Business is good, when you go back to school, maybe you'll know. Su Nian said mysteriously.
"Then I'll have to look forward to it, and the school's self-government will feel good. If you want to talk about the street stall, it must be the Bianhe River!"
"Qihe?" Su Nian remembered seeing the name on the map at that time.
"The Fen River is the river that runs through the middle of Shanyan, and it is actually an artificial canal, which is said to have been excavated to transport stones from nearby stone quarries. ”
"Is there a stall near the Bianhe River?" asked Su Nian.
"Yes, it's been around for a long time. The river is a canal, so it is always straight, and the sidewalks along the river are particularly wide, so the stalls are all over there. ”
Lin Li said while reminiscing: "I remember, since I was a child, there have been stalls over there, and they have never been broken, and they are very lively. ”
"Haven't you been cleaned up?" Su Nian was surprised: "Wasn't there a period of time when the stalls were cracked down?"
"It doesn't seem to be, right?" Lin Li shook his head: "I don't remember clearly, but the stalls by the Bihe River have indeed not been broken, and I have to pass by there after high school and junior high school, and it seems that no one cares about it." ”
"Oh?"
Su Nian's heart moved, if it was really like what Lin Li said, the stalls in the Bihe River had not been broken from the beginning, then the stalls in Shanhe were indeed a good research object.
Whether it is because the customs of the stalls have become popular among the people, or because the attitude towards the stalls is different from other places.
In short, the stalls in Shanzhen have not been broken, which means that there is no discontinuity.
The new generation of stall operators and the older generation of stall operators are in the same lineage, and there must be something unique in them to be able to form such a balanced state today.
Seeing Su Nian pondering, Lin Li didn't bother, but when Su Nian moved his chopsticks again, he asked, "Do you want to go to the Bianhe River to have a look?"
"Well, go shopping in the evening. Su Nian nodded.
"Then I may not be able to accompany my seniors, my mother is still alone at home...... You know. ”
Su Nian didn't care: "Well, it's already polite to invite me to a meal, and it's not safe for girls to go to that kind of place at night." ”
After eating and settling the bill, Su Nian looked at the door of Uncle Wu's side, and it was estimated that it was not over yet.
Su Nian didn't say hello without interest, since Uncle Wu said goodbye, it was goodbye.
Although Su Nian felt that it was better not to be so fateful.
Bidding farewell to Lin Li, Su Nian followed the direction she said, turned two streets, and saw a bridge in front of her.
The surface of the river is not particularly wide, about 20 meters and 30 meters, and the water depth is considerable.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the canal dug for transporting stones, and it is estimated that the draft of the ships at that time must have been quite deep.
On both sides of the river, there is a platform walkway with iron railings and locks, and then the walkway is a high slope, which can be more than five meters high.
The upper edge of the slope is a white marble balustrade with openings at intervals and stone steps leading to the walkway below.
At the top of the slope, outside the white marble railing, is the real sidewalk.
Su Nian walked forward along the Bianhe River for a distance, and sure enough, he saw a dense crowd of people, and there were a variety of goods all over the ground.
In the late summer evening, the sun has not yet dissipated. The vendors greet the customers, and passers-by take advantage of the sunlight to browse the goods on the stalls.
Su Nian walked through and found that the stalls on the side of the Bihe River were indeed full of goods.
From gadgets such as keychains, ear pickers, and small pendants, to everyday items such as small toys, groceries, and practical tools, to clothes, vegetables, fruits, small furniture, and even small household appliances.
Su Nian really saw someone buy an air fryer from the stall and go back.
According to the classification of these goods, these stalls by the Bihe River are obviously also divided into regions.
It's just that because this section of the sidewalk on the side of the Bihe River is too long, almost half of Shanyan City, it presents a kind of marking-like arrangement.
Walking by the side, there are a few stalls selling different pendants, and further on, you can see several selling different daily groceries, and there are other commodity stalls scattered in the future.
Wait until all the product categories are lined up, and then go forward and do this again.
It takes a lot of time to go through each round of product rotation, and the types of goods will not be repeated in this round, so that there will be no conflicts between stall owners in small areas.
After walking for two or three rounds, Su Nian also found a pattern.
Things like daily necessities, agricultural and sideline food, clothing and fabrics, and traditional utensils are at least run by people who are a little older.
And young people sell more electronic products.
Today's electronics industry is developed, and people with high demand for experience certainly prefer genuine brands and believe in the theory that you get what you pay for.
However, with the popularization of smart phones and computers, more middle-aged and elderly people have begun to enter the field of electronic products, and their concept is "I use it carefully, and the cheap ones can be used for three or five years".
In addition, many student parties who don't have much money are also used as audiences, and some cheap, passable electronic products are also quite popular.
For example, cheap headphones, non-genuine chargers, portable wifi, splitters, USB flash drives, keyboards, etc., these are all cheap products that are popular with people.
Su Nian walked and walked, and saw that next to the next intersection near the bridge out of the city, there were still several cars, most of which were SUV types, with the trunk lid open.
At first, he thought it was a foreigner who came to visit the stalls, but when he walked in, he saw an LED fluorescent sign placed next to these cars.
"Car CD, USB flash drive, memory card. ”
Su Nian didn't expect that there would be such a sale.
