Chen Shi sat in the car and waited for a while, but he didn't see everyone coming back, he called and asked, Li Yalian told him: "Hurry up and drive here, we have so many things that are not easy to carry, just drive directly to load." ”

After Chen Shi asked the place, he started the car and drove towards the crowd: they were on the other side of the street, so they had to drive through the crowd, but now it was the peak time to catch up with the market, people came and went, dense, the front foot was next to the back foot, and people couldn't walk too fast in the middle, let alone drive, it was much slower than walking.

After Chen Shi honked the horn a few times, he slowly drove forward, and the people on the street gradually gave way to a way, but he still didn't dare to drive too fast.

It took him ten minutes to drive a street of about a mile, and then on the other side of the street, he saw his cousin, Li Yalian and others.

Chen Shi pulled over and jumped out of the car, only to see that the roadside was already full of a pile of goods, all of which were New Year's goods, and everyone's things were piled up together, looking very majestic.

He was startled and asked, "Can you pretend?"

There are rice and oil, fish and ducks, rice noodles, tofu and dried tofu and so on piled up on the side of the road, and he feels that he can't finish it at one time, because this is not a truck after all, but a car, the trunk can't hold much, and there are people in the back seat, of course, there is no way to put things.

Li Yalian said: "Pretend to try it first, and if it doesn't work, it won't take much time." ”

The cousin said, "Let's walk back, you can just install the seats in the back, but there is a chance that the seats will be dirty." ”

Chen Chengzhi doesn't care if the seat is dirty or not, he is very happy to be able to get it done at one time, as long as he doesn't run again, even if he is allowed to walk back.

He said, "Then pretend and see if you can leave a little space at the end." ”

As he spoke, he opened the trunk, and everyone carried things into it, and his cousin commanded on the side, "Put it neatly, so that the space will be free." ”

Chen Shi and Li Yalian were happy to be idle, watching everyone fill the car in just a few minutes, and almost all the goods were placed in the back seat, so they couldn't sit at all.

He laughed, "Then you will have to walk back slowly, but it won't take much time, half an hour to be back." ”

The cousin laughed and said, "Let's not be in a hurry, let's play for a while, and then we will leave in the evening, maybe there will be a tractor at that time, just take a ride by the way." ”

Chen Shi smiled: "Whatever you want, but you can get your things yourself at night, and I won't help you send them back." ”

My cousin and the others said, "You don't need to send it, we'll carry it at night." ”

Chen Shi nodded, beckoned Li Yalian to get in the car and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, walked up to his cousin Chen Fu and said: "You should pay close attention to what I said before, and see how the people are buying and selling now, what the guests buy, what you want to sell, you have to think about this." ”

Cousin Chen Fu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." ”

Chen Shicai is not at ease, his cousin Chen Fu has never understood what market research is, the most he pays attention to is to look more and think more, and then the conclusion he comes to must be very subjective and will not be correct.

He said: "It's not enough to just pay attention, you have to ask your cousin and them to help, and in the evening you ask them first, and then combine your own conclusions to see if there is anything wrong, and one more point, that is, write it down with a pen, you have to figure out the price of everything, and then estimate what is missing in the market, what is piled up more, etc., these must be clarified, not just look at it like shopping on the street." ”

When his cousin Chen Fu heard this, he immediately blushed and said, "This ...... How do you get this, I ...... I don't know. ”

Chen Shi patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is only one sentence, carefully, everything must be recorded in detail, even if you know it clearly, you must record it in a notebook, and when you record it, show it to me, and I will help you with your staff." ”

This is the most primitive market research, although the method is more cumbersome, and the results of the survey are not necessarily accurate, but there is no other way for Chen Shi, he is also a half-barrel of water jingle bell, he does not know how to conduct specific market research, and does not know what to investigate to reflect the market situation in nearby towns.

At this time, the cousin on the side said: "We don't have anything to do, just help Chen Fu, pay attention to it when you go shopping, go back and talk about it, and Chen Fu's investigation results are a pair, so there is a good reference." ”

Chen Fu agreed stubbornly, went to the side to buy pens and paper, Chen Shi and Li Yalian got in the car and said goodbye to everyone, Chen Shi said: "Brother, you look at Chen Fu, help him when you are free." ”

The cousin agreed. Then start the car and drive out slowly. When I went back, the streets were still crowded, and the vehicles were going very slowly, Li Yalian was a little impatient, looking east and west, and suddenly, she pointed to the rearview mirror and said, "Look." ”

Chen Shi looked at it and smiled slightly, only to see his cousin and cousin and others circling around three or four women at some point, looking at their flattering appearance, Chen Shi couldn't help laughing.

He said: "These boys, Sichun. ”

Li Yalian's face turned red, and she scolded: "If you don't say good things, what a beautiful thing is actually said by you so obscenely." ”

Chen Shi smiled awkwardly and said: "Isn't it? Although it is a little ugly, but this is a fact, you can see how funny they look when they can't raise their heads in front of women one by one." ”

Among the few cousins, only the cousin is married, and the others are still singles, and the family has long been urging, they came out to catch up with the market this time, in addition to buying New Year's goods, of course, they want to hang a girl.

This is a unique blind date market in the countryside, most of the young men and women met when they were in the market, and then some bold girls ran away with the boys, so that her parents were frightened, seven inquired, eight inquired, and finally knew the truth of the matter, the daughter was already a daughter-in-law, raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, it was too late to regret it, and finally could only talk about the conditions, dowry and so on.

As far as Chen Shi knows, about one-third of the daughters-in-law in the village come like this. However, this kind of thing will no longer cause abuse from others, everyone is used to it, and they will acquiesce to this, and no one will chew their tongues to slander such an eloped daughter-in-law in the back.

It can be said that this may be the most open point in the countryside, compared to the men and women in the city to talk about how much dowry, to car and house and other conditions, it can be said that there is a world of difference, of course, such a situation will not last long, Chen Shi knows, it will not be long before these young girls go out to work, and their vision will become higher after they have insight, so that the young men who stick to the countryside can not find a daughter-in-law, and everyone has to go out to work, hoping that their goddess will not run away with men from other provinces or cities.

Now there is no such thing as a bad name, even if there is, the power of restraint is greatly reduced, young men and women have long put aside this set, everyone is free to love, women like rich men, men like beautiful women, this is not to blame the world, after everything is free, there will always be a lot of strange things happening.

There is nothing wrong with liking a rich man, wronging herself, and there is nothing wrong with marrying an older man, as long as no one persecutes her, she can still live even if she does not marry for the rest of her life.

After freedom, love is like a wild grass that spreads wildly in the wilderness, each with its own chase, no one can say who is wrong, no one can say who is cheap or romantic.

It took more than ten minutes for Chen Shi to pass through the crowded street, and then he let go of his speed and ran away.

It's only eleven or twelve o'clock now, and there are a lot of people coming and going, and many farmers who rush to the market are a chicken in their left hand, a duck in their right hand, and a fat doll in their arms, and of course there are many leading cows and horses, and they come out of the mountains slowly, and then walk back slowly in the evening.

Some people are aimless, they don't need to buy anything, they don't want to sell anything, they just want to have a good time, look at all kinds of new and quirky things on the colorful streets, listen to old friends talk about the recent gossip, and then also look at the big girls, the young men talk about love.

Of course, there are also old people who like to drink wine with plastic bottles to make corn wine or sorghum wine, and after drinking, they drink a bowl of haggis in front of a haggis soup stall, and drink two taels of soju by the way, and finally walk home half-drunk and half-conscious.

Chen Shi has not seen these scenes for a long, long time, he estimates, such a scene will disappear in a few decades, and after a few years, the highway is repaired, and all the young men and women in the valleys go out to work, there will no longer be young men and big girls talking about love on the streets, some are just lonely old people and children whose parents are busy working outside, the old and the young are not too fast, and they can't stop, only keep walking, go to the street to buy things as usual, and catch up with the market as usual, but there will never be such a joyful scene now.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Shi and Li Yalian arrived home, and then asked their families to help move all the goods out.

The father asked, "Why are there so many?"

Li Yalian explained: "Some are not from our family, they are from my cousin, and I will come to get them at night." ”

The father was relieved and beckoned Chen Dong to move all the rice, noodles, fish, and meat home, and then Chen Shi prepared to wash the car.

This backseat rammy noodles are full of flour, and if you don't wash them, you can't sit at all.

There was no water gun at home, so he had to wash it with water in a basin, then find a rag and wipe it one by one, and then wash the car after an hour or two. He just left the door open and let the sun dry, and it was estimated that it would all be dry in an hour or two.

Li Yalian walked around in front of the car, and then said, "Let's wash off the seat cushion too." ”

Chen Shi was busy for a long time, slightly tired, and said, "You wash it!"

Li Yalian glared at him and said, "You're going to cook?"

Chen Shi smiled speechlessly, there was no choice but to continue cleaning the seat cushion.
