Chapter 49: Long-term cooperation
The school gate this morning was a little different.
The doorway is still the same doorway, and the doorman is still the same doorman.
The vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the wide school road are still the same vendors.
But one of the vendors was apparently late.
A group of energetic students are standing in the position where Chen Yang used to sell.
They were the morning sun, covered in colorful clouds, with a childish countenance on their faces, and their eyes as clear as dew on the tips of small blades of grass.
The childishness is still completely preserved in them, whether it is willful, rebellious, ignorant, or naΓ―ve, that is the color that they should have at this age.
Occasionally, when a car whistles and the horn blows, everyone will turn their heads to look at it in unison.
There are also parents who are sending their children to school standing around them.
They are also waiting for the arrival of saltwater peanuts.
But unlike the students, they didn't gather in groups to talk about what interesting things they encountered yesterday, but stood scattered in various places, all of them hanging their heads and staring at their phones with their heads extremely focused.
Maybe it's because mobile phones are always better than people.
Graceful shadows, sweet singing voices, funny expressions, and life and death are concerned about life......
In this colorful world, looking up at the blue sky and soft clouds, looking down is the changing scenery everywhere, and turning your face may also see an acquaintance and a friend......
But people seem to have forgotten that these things exist, and they all enjoy staring at their phones.
It wasn't until a vague fragrance hit with the breeze that everyone looked up at the slowly approaching pickup truck as if they had been struck by lightning.
Chen Yang was shocked when he saw so many people waiting at the school gate, and he thought something was wrong.
As soon as he got out of the car, people immediately gathered around.
Seeing the crowd clamoring for a few catties of peanuts, Chen Yang hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Line up and queue up, I can't set up a stall like this." β
"What's the queue, I'm in a hurry. The fat big brother, who bought sixty catties of peanuts at once yesterday, said, "You hurry up and weigh me one hundred catties, and I will take it and leave, and I will not delay your business." β
"No, I can't. The man behind shouted.
"We can't sell it to him, we have to take a hundred catties at once, and we will be gone. β
"It's just that we can't sell it to him, we've been waiting for more than an hour. β
"Classmates, let's get this big fat man away. β
"Go, go, go. The fat brother stood at the front of the crowd steadily, half-turned his head and shouted at the group of students behind him, "What are you arguing about? I'll be here at six o'clock." If you don't believe me, you can ask the doorman. β
"I don't care, you can't ask for so much at once anyway. The students who were squeezed to the back shouted, "We are obsessed with class, eating more peanuts is good for health, we are the flowers of the motherland, you adults should let us buy them first." β
"I'm still a taxpayer in my country. "I got up at three o'clock to go grocery shopping, and I came here at six o'clock to wait, and I still have to pay taxes on my hard-earned money." Whether it's on a first-come, first-served basis or on a first-served basis, I'm eligible to be ranked first. β
What do you say...... The latter group didn't know how to refute it.
Chen Yang smiled: "It's okay, there are more than 200 catties of peanuts today, even if this big brother buys 100 catties, then we still have more than 100 catties left, it should be enough... bar. β
Glancing at the crowd, his tone became more and more uncertain.
The fat brother said with a grin: "Brother, your peanuts are really easy to sell, yesterday the guests in my store said that they were delicious after eating them, and many people packed them, but before dinner, the peanuts in the store were sold out, and today you weigh me a hundred catties." β
"Okay. Chen Yang agreed, and then glanced at the crowd blocking his side in embarrassment, and said, "But you have to let me put things away first, you surround me like this, I can't work." β
When the fat brother heard this, he immediately shouted to everyone: "Line up for me, otherwise, I will buy all the peanuts at once, so that you can't buy them." β
This seemed to work very well, and the originally chaotic crowd immediately consciously lined up.
There was no one around Chen Yang, so he moved the things off the carriage.
A small wooden table, a large amphora aluminum pot, a spoon, a plastic bag, a scale, and two snakeskin bags of peanuts.
The fat brother glanced at Chen Yang's old-fashioned scale rod, then immediately turned around and ran to a pickup truck next to him to remove a floor-to-ceiling electronic scale, and said with a smile: "I just have a scale here." β
"That's great. Chen Yang held a bag of peanuts and said, "I was worried about this problem just now." β
The fat brother smiled: "Your small scale rod is outdated, and now you use this kind of electronic scale for business, which is not only convenient, but also can even display the price, and also saves the calculation step." β
Of course Chen Yang knows this truth, but he has just started business, so many things can't be done in one step, and can only be accumulated little by little.
He smiled, "Then I'll buy another one in two days." β
"It's okay if you don't buy it. The fat brother put down the floor scale, leaned over to Chen Yang's side and whispered, "Otherwise, tomorrow you can directly pull peanuts to my restaurant, my restaurant has a scale, and I will buy a hundred catties tomorrow, so that I can save myself from queuing, and you can also pack a hundred catties of peanuts at home in advance, which is convenient for both of us." β
Of course, Chen Yang couldn't ask for this kind of thing.
This means that he will reach a long-term cooperation agreement with this fat big brother. Although it is not clearly written in black and white, it is almost the same meaning.
He nodded hurriedly: "No problem, you give me the address, and I will definitely send it to you early tomorrow morning." β
"Let's add a WeChat. The fat brother took out his mobile phone and added WeChat with Chen Yang.
Although the people behind didn't hear what they said, they couldn't get away with it when they saw the happy expressions of the two.
There must be an ulterior dark deal between these two big men.
The students were indignant, thinking that they had suffered a loss from their youth, and they could not be completely independent financially, so they were given most of the peanuts by such a big fat man.
When Lao Tzu has money in the future, I will buy all this uncle's peanuts, so that everyone will not be able to eat such delicious peanuts.
After weighing the peanuts, Chen Yang and the fat brother worked together to carry 100 catties of peanuts to the van.
The fat big brother paid the money, showed a smug and underweight smile to the crowd still in line, and then drove away in the van.
"Don't sell peanuts to this guy in the future, this guy is so annoying. One parent said.
"It's just, this big fat guy is so annoying. One student said.
Others also responded, suggesting that Chen Yang not sell peanuts to the big fat man just now.
It is rare that the opinions of parents and students have been unified.
