Chapter 125: The Outlander Is Gone
As for the other medals, they are all merchants from other places.
At the last food event, Ma Tianyao and Shi Xiaoxiao of course also skipped school, but unfortunately the two were still children at the time and had no money, so they bought a few sugar gourds and a bag of melon seeds and a few pieces of sugar in seven days.
Ma Tianyao never dreamed that in his lifetime, he would be able to participate in the October 10th Food Exchange Event in the form of a merchant.
But the frustrating thing is that this year's entry quota doesn't seem to be worth much, and you don't see that the vendors selling fritters at the entrance of TM have all got invitations.
Even more depressed than her is the organizer of the October 10 exchange event, that is, the village committee of Meadowzi Town.
At this moment, a group of people are sitting in the office, each sighing.
"Alas, the November material exchange event that we have painstakingly managed is completely ruined......"
"It turns out that we are gods, and all the merchants are begging us, but I didn't expect that this year has been morally degraded to such a point, and we even took the initiative to send invitations to others, and even the vendors who set up stalls at the head of the ......"
"The most strange thing is that some wild traders who set up stalls still don't want it, so I sent people to kneel......"
"There's no way around it, the above specifically explained this matter, let's just do things according to the rules......"
……
The October 10 food exchange festival came too fast like a tornado, and all the merchants in the town were boiling, especially those who couldn't get invitations in previous years, and some people even bought fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate.
In contrast, it is these out-of-town convoys that are more lively.
At noon, Ma Tianyao and Shi Xiaoxiao were sitting and eating with a boxed lunch, their eyes staring outside.
The vendors in other stalls also prepared enough meals.
The fritters fried more than 300 fritters and waited;
sold steamed buns for more than a dozen steamed buns;
One stall selling porridge is one stall after another, one pot after another;
Those who sell instant noodles, ham sausages, and mineral water swing from the side of the road to the end of the road;
A tricycle selling fast food bentoes is next to a tricycle;
……
All the merchants showed the excitement of slaughtering and making another profit, and their eyes shot a red light like a hungry wolf and stared at the national highway.
"Hey, why haven't these people come back?"
"You won't come back, will you?"
"I should come back, right? I haven't taken anything from the tenants at home......
"Look, the car is coming......"
……
The first black sedan of out-of-town guests on the national highway came, and all the businessmen rolled up their sleeves and laughed.
It's close!
It's close!
……
Call!!!
The car flashed by, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Then, in the midst of everyone's gaze, the second car returned, and ......
Call!!!
Another flash came and went, not stopping at all, followed by the third, and then the fourth, and the innumerable......
"This, this, this...... Why doesn't this stop?"
"They're not going to the county seat for dinner, are they?"
"What the hell is going on?"
……
All the cars did not stop, all the merchants were confused, even Ma Tianyao was a little stunned, and said in her heart What is this playing?
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the whole town was as quiet as suffocation, and the owners of all the stalls sat lifelessly in front of their stalls, and no one expected these out-of-town guests anymore.
Slowly, the owner of the fritter stall took out an oil paint pen and changed the price on the board from ten to eight.
Slowly, the middle-aged woman on the fast-food lunch tricycle changed the price on the cardboard from fifty yuan to forty-five.
Slowly, the vendors who set up instant noodle stalls changed the price from 20 to 15......
……
Unfortunately, in the previous hour, the whole street did not welcome a single customer, and the locals did not even scoff at it, they just passed by.
These days, the locals know that the merchants in this town are crazy, so few people come to the street to buy things, and they would rather take a five-dollar line bus to the county to buy things.
So, Meadow Town is cool now, and it's cool.
3:30 p.m.......
The street slowly has a special smell, which is the smell of a fast food lunch box that is about to go bad.
Four o'clock!
The owner of the fritter stall took out an oil paint pen and changed the price on the board from eight to five.
A middle-aged woman on a fast-food lunch tricycle changed the price on the cardboard from forty-five to thirty.
The vendor who set up a stall selling instant noodles changed the price from 15 yuan to 10 yuan......
……
However, there is no egg use at all......
At half past five, all the merchants slowly had hope again, because it was about to be eaten.
"You say, these outsiders will be back tonight, right?"
"You should go back, these people must have something to do during the day today. ”
"Well, I think so too!"
……
These people confidently waited, however......
6:30!
The local junior high school is out, and it seems that there are a lot fewer students than usual today.
"Rush the duck!"
"I'm going to be number one!"
"Whoever robs me today, I will marry whomever I want!"
A fat girl walked slowly with a schoolbag, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the male classmate who ran to the front immediately stopped.
The students arrived at the door of Ma Tianyao's shop and began to pay two yuan for dinner.
"Hey, it's strange today, why are there so few people?"
"Yes, the three students in our class who were named by the principal today didn't go to school!"
"Our class too!"
"I heard my mother say that they have been recruited into some kind of talent training class, and they will not take classes with us in the future......"
……
The students chatted while standing in line......
The stall owner next to him cried, and when he saw that there was still no business when people came, he hurriedly changed the price.
The owner of the fritter stall took out an oil paint pen and changed the price on the board from five to three.
A middle-aged woman on a fast-food lunch tricycle changed the price on the cardboard from 30 yuan to 20 yuan.
The vendor who set up a stall selling instant noodles changed the price from 10 yuan to 5 yuan......
……
As a result, when it gets dark, Ma Tianyao's side is closed, but these vendors waiting to rip off customers are still not open, they are still stubbornly waiting, they believe that these cute, rich outsiders will definitely come back, and when the time comes, they will swarm up like before, holding banknotes to snap up the food on their stalls.
At 8:30 p.m., Ma Tianyao's shop was closed, and the four girls gathered around the table in the shop eating barbecue and drinking beer.
"Sister Yao, you're really not worried about Tianrou. ”
Zheng Huanhuan was eating kebabs and asked worriedly, Ma Tianyao shook Erlang's legs, holding grilled chicken wings in one hand and a beer bottle in the other, taking a sip of beer and meat, and sighed distressedly while eating.
"Alas, how can I not be worried, I am so worried that I can't eat......"
Burst!
These words made Shi Xiaoxiao on the other side laugh, and with a mouth, the beer and barbecue directly sprayed Ma Tianyao's face.
At nine o'clock in the evening, there was no longer a glimmer of light in Meadowzi Town, and the first stall began to sigh and close the stall, then the second, the third, and at about ten o'clock, the last one finally couldn't hold on, and shook its head and scolded and went home.
"These outsiders in TM are not honest at all, they said that they would come back, why don't they come back......"
That's the most common phrase these merchants have said today.
