In the early morning, a magnificent morning glow appeared in the east, wisps of smoke wafted from the rooftops of the village, and the air was filled with a light veil-like mist.

With the help of his mother, Wang Qiang did not have a hard time pushing the cart, and it only took half an hour to get to the street.

At this time, the streets are quiet.

When the first rays of morning light shine through the mist, the streets usher in a warm morning, and further on, you can hear a burst of shouting and bargaining, and the streets of the vegetable market are full of vendors, vegetables, fruits, groceries and even clothes and trousers.

There were still four or five meters away from the door, Wang Qiang saw that Uncle Zhai was greeting guests, and he waved his hand from afar, "Uncle Zhai." ”

The mother asked, "Do you know?"

Before Wang Qiang could answer, he saw Uncle Zhai raise his head and answer, "Oh, Xiao Wang, are you here?"

"Well, I know. Wang Qiang said, and then said to the old man and the young man in front: "Borrow it, thank you." ”

The old and the young quickened their pace and walked towards the vegetable market.

When he came to the door, he heard the woman with two braids in front of Uncle Zhai's stall bargaining, "...... Expensive, cheaper, otherwise I'd go inside and buy it. ”

Uncle Zhai took a clean cabbage with all the old roots cut off, pointed to the vegetable field and spitted and said: "Can there be such a clean cabbage as mine in it? Their old roots are enough to weigh half a catty, eldest sister, I really didn't make any money from you." ”

Wang Qiang glanced over curiously, and found that all the knee-high cabbages on the oiled paper had old roots, yellow leaves, and were cleanly washed.

"Mom, you hold on to the cart, and I'll take the tub down. Wang Qiang said a word, then his arms exerted his strength "hey", and brought down the mother who was the first full of crucian carp, which was a little heavy, and almost didn't grasp it when he put it down, and fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a lot of water.

"Slow down, slow down. The mother grabbed the handrail of the cart and said nervously, for fear that he would overturn the tub.

"Okay, your cabbage, let's go, come back next time. The business was done, and Uncle Zhai's voice was full of joy.

Wang Qiang was just about to take the second wooden basin down, but found a pair of calloused rough hands on it, he looked up and saw that it was Uncle Zhai, and quickly thanked him, and the two of them worked together to bring down the other wooden basin.

"Hey, it's heavier than the day before yesterday. After putting down the tub, Uncle Zhai said.

Mother smiled, "Thank you, brother." ”

"No thanks, no thanks, are you?"

"Oh, my strong mother, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Zhai, you can just call me Lao Zhai. ”

I put the cart in a vacant place not far away, and when I came back, I found that my mother had already chatted with Uncle Zhai. There is no strangeness between people in the city in the countryside, and it is normal for two people who don't know each other to go grocery shopping to chat together.

Wang Qiang walked over and said with a smile: "Mom, what are you talking about with Uncle Zhai?"

Uncle Zhai grabbed the words and said, "Your mother asked me how to wash the cabbage so cleanly, and I said that it was all your idea." ”

This time he was prepared, Wang Qiang put down the long bench, sat down with his mother, and asked casually, "How is the business today?"

Uncle Zhai's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Okay! Your idea is good! It's a lot better than usual, I arrived here at half past five, and I have already sold more than 100 catties in just half an hour......

Before he finished speaking, an old voice came to his ear, "How do you sell cabbage?"

"Look, business is coming. Uncle Zhai laughed, looked back at the white-haired old man in his sixties, and greeted.

It's true that business is very good, and customers come while talking.

Let's see how your business is going today.

was about to talk to his mother, when the light in front of him was blocked, Wang Qiang looked up and saw that he was a middle-aged man in his thirties with glasses.

"I've heard that you're here to help kill fish?" asked the middle-aged man, who put on his glasses.

Obviously, it was a guest who came by word of mouth.

Wang Qiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, help kill and kill, a piece of five pounds, how many do the boss want?"

The middle-aged man nodded very gently, "At noon, I want to have a treat at home, and there are five or six big ones." ”

"I'll pick and choose for you. Wang Qiang found the mother on the left, reached out and scooped up a crucian carp with chopsticks, "Is it so big?"

"Done. ”

"Mom, take me a plastic bag. Wang Qiang commanded.

The mother was a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly pulled out the black plastic bag she had bought in town yesterday afternoon from her cloth bag and handed it to her son.

After that, Wang Qiang found five relatively large crucian carp in the wooden basin, put them all into a bag, picked up the rod and weighed it, and when the scale rod was still raised high, he gave the middle-aged man a look, "Three catties and one tael, count you three catties." ”

"Thank you. The middle-aged man was polite and took out five dollars from his wallet.

Mother took it and pulled out five dime coins for change.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Qiang took out the first fish and smashed it unconscious, and then began to kill.

This has just begun to kill, and another business has come to the door.

"Eldest sister, how much is a pound of crucian carp?" asked a chubby twenty-four-five-year-old man.

The mother whispered, "One piece five." "When she buys groceries, she can bargain with people in a loud voice, but it always feels a little unnatural to do business on her own.

"How much?" the fat man didn't hear.

Wang Qiang, who was killing fish, raised his head and said, "A piece of five pounds, help kill." ”

"I know it's only here that I helped the killer. The fat man laughed.

"Mom, pick two bigger fish for this boss. Wang Qiang took out the fish intestines, and his hands were slimy.

The mother nodded, picked two relatively large fish, and asked the fat man if he was satisfied.

With the experience of the day before yesterday, the speed of killing fish today was relatively fast, and Wang Qiang quickly helped the man with glasses kill six fish, and then killed the fat man.

Business was exceptionally good today.

The mother and son were a little busy and didn't touch the ground.

"Help, right?"

"Eh, you're still helping to kill fish here?"

"How much is a pound of silver carp?"

Some people have heard that Wang Qiang helped kill fish for a long time, and some people have seen it and come to ask.

In just over an hour, a wooden pot fish has been sold out.

At first, the king of fish was forced to come, but later his mother took the initiative to help him kill, thinking that she would do business alone later, so he let his mother get acquainted with it.

A wave of excitement has just passed.

The mother wiped the sweat from her forehead with the palm of her hand, "Qiangzi, what time is it?"

Wang Qiang, who was sitting on the small bench, raised his left wrist and looked at it, "Yo, it's half past seven." He quickly stood up, "Mom, I'll go to the machine factory first, you're busy." ”

Uncle Zhai was curious: "Xiao Wang, why are you going?"

"Something. Wang Qiang didn't elaborate, and smiled and begged for a favor, "Uncle Zhai, my mother is doing business on the first day, and she will be too busy later, so you can help greet her." ”

"Well, no problem. "Uncle Zhai is very refreshing.

Wang Qiang thanked him, picked up the mandarin fish, waved goodbye to Uncle Zhai and his mother, and hurriedly walked towards the east of the town.

……

Metalworking Machinery Factory.

After asking the doorman early, Wang Qiang explained his intention.

The doorman yawned and waved his hand to let him in.

Walking inside, it was only 7:40 at this time, and there were still twenty minutes before the end of the night shift, Wang Qiang did not go directly to Lu Dahai's office, but walked to the door of the first workshop.

The plastic sheet near the door is piled with black granular things, and if you are not mistaken, it should be silicon carbide, commonly known as emery, which produces grinding wheels.

Wang Qiang looked at it suspiciously, although he didn't know much about the grinding wheel production process, but he knew very well that silicon carbide powder has a super moisture absorption ability, and it rained heavily yesterday until the night, plus the air was relatively humid in the early morning, so there was no protection in the air?

He remained silent and looked inside, wanting to see what the night workers were doing.

It's okay not to look at it, but it's speechless when you look at it.

I saw more than a dozen workers lying on cardboard paper and sleeping, and two or three awake middle-aged people were listlessly smoking and chatting.

"What time is it?"

"Seven forty-two. ”

"Lao Lu is coming soon, call them up. ”

"What does it matter if you see it, who is not sleepy after working all night, and what can Lu Dahai do with us?"

"That's what I said, but it's okay to be lazy at times, and we can't do it too badly, otherwise Lao Lu will be ruthless and the net will be broken, and we will not be comfortable. ”

"Come on, I'll get them up...... Get up, get up!"

At this time, eleven or twelve men and women lying on the ground woke up like a dream, stretching their waists and getting up slowly.

Wang Qiang saw clearly, the first thing these people did when they woke up was not to clean the dirty ground, let alone continue to make ingredients, but to drink water, and those who were looking for clothes were looking for clothes, and they were all waiting for the time to get off work.

What's more critical is that there are still more than ten minutes before eight o'clock, and none of the people on the morning shift have come.

It seems that there are indeed many problems in the management of the metalworking machinery factory.

The seven hundred dollars are not easy to earn.

He had a rough idea in his heart, nodded thoughtfully, turned around and walked towards Lu Dahai's office.
