The annual fairs on the old streets are spontaneous.

Since entering the Layue Gate, there are some traders who come here to set up stalls on the street, because the old street is full of residential areas, and has not yet been renovated for urban construction, and the living density is extremely high, and there may be a family of five people living in a small house of sixty or seventy square meters.

Most of the people who live in the old street are poor, but the poor also have to eat and drink, and the poor have no shortage of food and drink.

For a small county like theirs, it may be that the old citizens in the Lao Cai area eat and drink better than the new citizens who have bought houses in the city in recent years.

Most of the new citizens buy houses with loans, and they usually have to save money to repay the mortgage, while the old citizens are willing to spend money, because don't look at Lao Yang, their county is not big, but the house price is not low compared to the local wage level.

Many old citizens can't buy new houses, and the state has been releasing financial water in order to stimulate the economy, and they understand that money in their hands will only become less and less valuable, so they are very willing to spend money on eating, drinking, and enjoyment.

It was against this backdrop that the annual fair in Lao Cai appeared, and the vendors rushed to do business, and found that the business here was good, so gradually more stalls increased.

In addition to Layue, the city management is not allowed to come to the old street to set up stalls at other times, and it is different when you enter the Layue, the annual fair of the old street has been around for many years, which is a local custom, and the government also acquiesces in the existence of this situation.

Yang Shubao was about to enter the street drinking hot milk, and the young policeman standing on duty on the street reminded him in a friendly manner: "Take care of your wallet and mobile phone, there are many people in it, be careful of breaking money." ”

He looked at Nicole, who smiled politely at him, and the policeman added, "By the way, you take a good look at your female companion, be careful that people take advantage of you." ”

Uncle Yang thanked him and took Nicole's hand and squeezed in.

The old street was not spacious enough, but now that business is good near the end of the year, some people come to the center of the street to set up stalls, so that the road is more crowded, and people come and go, rubbing shoulders.

In addition, there are mobile stalls, for example, a vendor selling sugar gourds saw him with a girl with a foreign face, so he took the initiative to walk up to him with a candy ball pole to solicit business: "Brother, old capital sugar gourd, buy one for your foreign daughter-in-law to taste?"

Yang Shubao asked, "How much?"

The hawker smiled: "The price is different, the classic seedless five pieces are one, the core is two pieces five, and the fruit is seven pieces......"

When he heard this offer, he was stunned, the price is so exaggerated?

There were many people passing by, and after hearing this offer, some people subconsciously said: "This sugar gourd is pasted with gold? Isn't it all the classic two pieces of five, and the core of one piece of five?"

The peddler coughed and said, "You get what you pay for." ”

Yang Shubao has studied here for three years, and he estimates that he is being treated as a fat sheep.

In the past, he had a friend who went shopping with a female classmate and bought ice cream, but at that time, the normal two-dollar board was sold to him for five yuan, and his friend was young and thin-skinned, although he felt that something was wrong after listening to the price, but he was embarrassed to ask and even more embarrassed to bargain, so he paid for two large boards.

Later, when he went to buy a big board after playing with his buddies, the boss sold two pieces for five dollars and two pieces, and then they used the money they used to buy two pieces......

He suspected that the sugar gourd seller was also doing the same trick on him.

Now it's different from the past, Lao Yang Ke is no longer a thin-skinned teenager, and he doesn't have to maintain face in front of Nicole, so he bargained directly: "It's too expensive, can you sell the classic five yuan for two?"

"Take it. The boss happily handed it to him, "If you don't make money, you should make a friend." ”

Lao Yang was disgusted by these words, the other party agreed so happily, he felt that the price was fraudulent!

However, the price had been negotiated, and he was embarrassed to regret it, so he had to give five yuan stupidly.

The boss handed him two sugar gourds, and Yang Shubao said wittily: "Who wants two? I only need one, find me two pieces of five." ”

This opened the boss's eyes: "Dude, you are really good at business, how can you bargain like this?"

Yang Shubao finally felt that he had won back a city: "What's the matter, don't you sell it? If you don't sell it, I'll leave." ”

"Sell, sell, sell, and invite a foreign girl to eat two hawthorns for nothing. The peddler said smugly.

Nicole had brown sugar ginger tea in one hand and sugar gourd in the other, and she asked, "Are you buying expensive right?"

Yang Shubao smiled reluctantly: "How is it possible, I am so shrewd." ”

There are also people who push carts to sell oden, and they also take the initiative to sell them.

Yang Shubao looked at the turbid soup and waved his hand resolutely: "Thank you, eldest sister, we are not hungry." ”

"Roasted kidneys, lamb kidneys, big kidneys from Inner Mongolia!" shouted from the barbecue stall next to it.

Yang Shubao was hungry and went to buy a handful of roasted kidneys.

The stall owner looked at Nicole's appearance and gave him a knowing look: "Don't worry, brother, I'll get you some fat, the effect is definitely good." ”

Yang Shubao asked casually: "Big brother, I heard that there are no monkeys in this market? Why haven't you seen it?"

The stall owner smiled: "There is really a monkey, but unfortunately, yesterday let the chengguan dei up." ”

"Why? Animal cruelty?"

"No, no, it's that there are golden snub-nosed monkeys in the monkeys he brought, which are protected by the state, and they are noisy, and these things are now coaxing people to be happy, how can they be used to coax people to be happy? ”

Yang Shubao is very sorry, he actually wants to find a monkey to buy a monkey, and then evolve it to be a pet for his parents.

Slowly and leisurely turned back and forth on the old street, Yang Shubao and Nicole's stomachs slowly propped up.

They left the old street and prepared to continue walking around the county town, but when they came out, they saw an old man with three wheels on the electricity smiling at a middle-aged man: "What's the use of you sending me this leaflet? Look at me like this, like I can afford a new building? And look at you here, this is a villa, right? Look at your flyer, this is luxurious enough." ”

The middle-aged man was dressed in a suit and did not wear a thick jacket on a cold day, and he said with a smile: "Uncle, you can take a look, if you don't buy anything, can these leaflets be left in your car?" Maybe there are people interested in riding in your car. ”

While laughing with the middle-aged man, he took out a cigarette and handed him one, and the old man took the cigarette and reluctantly put away a few leaflets.

At this moment, a chengguan pickup truck drove by, and a chengguan lowered the window and shouted: "No stalls are allowed here, no flyers are allowed, and leaflets must be sent to the old street, and a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed according to the regulations." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly put away the leaflet and said with a smile: "Leader, I'll leave now, I'm not here to distribute leaflets." ”

The chengguan said unhappily: "Look what you have made of this street? The sanitation workers can't sweep the leaflets you throw away eight times a day, fifty yuan, and the fine will be given to you." ”

Looking at the ticket he stretched out and handed out, the middle-aged man couldn't bear it all of a sudden, and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Leader, let me go, let me go, I really have no money, my mother is sick, the first two children go to school, I just found a job selling a house, a temporary worker, no penny salary, I really have no money!"
