Chapter 12: Sold Out
"Naturally, it's not expensive," Yang Changting said with a smile, "It takes firewood to cook corn and charcoal to roast corn, and it costs a lot of money." Isn't it? We're shipping it from Liuhe, and we need to pay for it. Besides, you can see my sister's face is red......"
"I'll have one. Someone didn't care, "You're a brother and sister, or a student." ”
"Thank you. Yang Changting took the ticket and looked for money, "We are brother and sister, I will be in my third year of high school in two weeks, and my sister is also going to study." ”
"Third brother, I can't read the ......" Yang Changting didn't tell the sixth sister before the topic, and the two naturally didn't match.
"It's okay, you sell the corn, and when you have money, you can go and study with your brother, okay?"
"Mom and Dad...... Let not let ......" The sixth sister has no confidence in her heart, and the sixth sister naturally yearns for going to school, and Yang Changting also intends to let her re-enter the school.
When the people around heard the conversation between the brother and sister, more people began to buy corn, some bought boiled and roasted corn, and more people bought raw cobs to take home and dispose of, so that the family could eat fresh together.
From more than seven o'clock in the morning to about ten o'clock, Yang Changting counted ten sacks of tender corn for sale. There were 30 bags of tender corn cobs brought with me, 5 bags of chili peppers, 2 bags of long pods, and 2 bags of eggplant.
The vegetables have not moved yet, and there are many people who ask and they want to buy them. But Yang Changting insisted on exchanging vegetables for old clothes and pants, and refused to sell them for money.
At this time, two men with sleeves came over and squeezed through the crowd. He said to Yang Changting, "What are you doing? You are not allowed to sell things here, you have to sell things, go to the market." ”
Yang Changting knew that there would be such a play, and said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, I'm not in business. Bring some things with me today, they are all produced in my own home. Sell some money and find tuition. ”
"That's not going to work either. When you go to the market, you have to pay the market management fee. One of the two said, and the other was ready to open a bill.
Someone in the crowd said, "Two students looking for some tuition, don't you let it go?" ”
Sister Mei came over and said to the two, "What's the matter, my nephew and niece can't bring some things? And so he half-pushed the two men away.
Sister Mei was the first to bring her old clothes and pants, and asked Yang Changting, "Xiao Yang, how do you change the vegetables?"
"I don't know, Auntie, you can just watch it. Yang Changting had his own thoughts in his heart, but he refused to take the initiative to say it, for fear that the onlookers would be disgusted.
At this time, people cherish old clothes and pants, but they feel that these old clothes and pants are not of much value. It's normal to give it away, and it's basically reluctant to throw it away as garbage.
In 82, dressing and eating was still very stressful for most people, who was willing to throw away these old clothes and pants?
Many people have a large number of old clothes and pants stored at home, especially some of them with slightly better family backgrounds. And this area is the living area of the college, and the quality of life of people itself is much higher. The children of some families have grown up, and they have not thrown away the old clothes and pants left behind.
Sister Mei looked at this young man and saw that he had no intention of evading, his eyes were clear and his demeanor was calm. So he took some of each of the peppers, the long pods, and the eggplant, and put a lot of old clothes in an empty sack.
"Auntie, thank you. My mother and my fifth sister will definitely be able to wear your clothes. Yang Changting also deliberately said it to onlookers, which was a verbal advertisement.
Among the onlookers, there were also those who had brought old clothes and pants earlier. The person concerned asked, "Do you want children's old clothes and pants that are not tattered?"
"I definitely want it, not only clothes and pants, but shoes as long as they are not rotten, and they are worn small. Yang Changting smiled and said, "In Liuhe Village, there are many children, and many people don't change their shoes for a year." ”
In this way, more people came, and Yang Changting ignored it, and asked people to take vegetables and old clothes and pants by themselves and put them in sacks. Even, Yang Changting has been busy selling tender corn and cooking corn, and he doesn't look at those vegetables and old clothes at all.
Towards noon, there were slightly fewer onlookers and business was lighter. Yang Changting looked at the sacks that were still piled up, there were still ten sacks of tender corn left, two bags of peppers among the vegetables, and the long pods and eggplants were gone.
On the side of the old clothes and trousers, there are already six sacks full of them. Some people brought old clothes and pants, but only symbolically took some vegetables, or simply gave them to Yang Changting.
Sister Mei came over at this time and said, "Xiao Yang, it's almost noon." Take a break, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles. ”
"Auntie, thank you. We just eat corn, but at home, we can't eat this in previous years. Yang Changting politely refused.
"How's that going to work? You see, your sixth sister is growing her body, so she has to eat staple food. At that moment, he pulled the sixth sister and asked her to go to the small shop to rest, drink some water, and eat a bowl of noodles.
After a morning of communicating and communicating with people, the sixth sister is not as afraid of life as she was at the beginning, and she is also familiar with Sister Mei. It's just that I still refuse to go to other people's houses to eat.
The sixth sister couldn't stop Sister Mei's enthusiasm, so she looked at Yang Changting. Yang Changting had no choice but to nod and say, "Sixth sister, go." ”
"That's pretty much it." Pulling the sixth sister away, Sister Mei glanced at Yang Changting. It seems that it is not for a seventeen-year-old young man, but for a man of the same age, which makes Yang Changting excited.
For Sister Mei's mature charm, his resistance is relatively poor.
After a while, Sister Mei came out of the small shop with a big bowl of noodles. The noodles were covered with a layer of meat foam, brought it to Yang Changting, and said, "You can eat a bowl too, I cooked too much." ”
"Auntie, thank you. Yang Changting did not refuse, he was busy for most of the day, and his stomach was indeed hungry, so he sat on the stones on the curb and snorted and ate noodles.
For food, Yang Changting has eaten many high-end things, but at this time, this bowl of noodles gives him a completely different taste. Sister Mei didn't look at him, but went back to the small shop and talked to the sixth sister.
In the process of Yang Changting eating noodles, some people came over to buy tender corn or bring old clothes and pants to exchange for vegetables. There were only chili peppers left in the vegetables, and Yang Changting apologized to the people who came. But there is no mention of exchanging tender corn, these are two different items, and the purpose is not to be confused.
Most of the tender corn was sold, and the sales were better than Yang had previously expected. In particular, it seems that this is a large market, and the conditions in the homes of residents and cadres in provincial or big cities do not seem to be as bad as imagined.
The previous concept was measured and compared with the economic situation of the Liuhe area, and the provincial capital was naturally different. In my previous life, even if I came to the provincial capital to study for a junior college, I didn't care about the living conditions of people outside the school.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, all the tender corn was sold out. At this time, in addition to the stove for the fire, the iron trough for the barbecue, and a small amount of charcoal, there are ten bags of old clothes and pants.
Each bag was stuffed tightly, Yang Changting locked the mouth of the bag with hemp rope, tried it, and a sack was still relatively heavy, full of fifty or sixty catties.
All locked the mouth of the sack, Sister Mei watched from the side, and said, "Shenshen, how are you going to take it back to Liuhe?"
