At this time, there was still no formal farmers' market in Ben Cheng, but the most basic needs of the people were to eat and drink. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention the revolution, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't let the common people live hungry with a lock on their mouths. Therefore, some small-scale trading markets have also emerged to meet the special needs of ordinary people to buy some eggs, get some fresh vegetables, seafood and so on.

The closest and most lively trading place to the northwest bank is the entrance of the "Yuhua Market" in the Shahekou District of Bincheng.

This indoor state-run store, which was built around 1958, has seen people holding large bags and carrying stabs or burdens almost all day long on the outer sidewalk, wandering around or resting in this neighborhood.

The goods brought by these people are half-concealed and half-hidden, and as soon as they are glanced at by the people who come by, they will immediately take the initiative to start selling. After some muttering bargaining, you can often sneak money and things into your hands.

Of course, this is already a semi-open secret, and in fact, few people in Bencheng don't know what they are doing. It's just that even the staunch executors of the revolution can't help but eat the fireworks of the world. Therefore, although these cover-up private transactions are illegal, they have always been "prohibited" only in the concept, and few people have taken practical actions to firmly crack down.

However, most of the people who have been trading here for a long time are farmers who bring their own products, or "sea catchers" who get cheap seafood such as sea vegetables, razor clams, and sea red from the beach every day. The number of "sea bumpers" like "old saury" is really small, because there are still a few people who have the ability to catch real sea treasures.

It stands to reason that scarcity is expensive, there is no vicious competition, and the sea cucumbers of "old saury" should be very easy to sell. But the actual situation is not like this, don't look at the pass, there are many people who stop to look at the goods next to him, but there are few who really do business.

Hong Yanwu waited on the side for more than an hour, and the "old saury" sold 25 dried ginseng at the price of two cents a head. At this rate, the more than 300 sea cucumbers brought by the "old saury" may take at least two or three days to sell.

For this reason, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, which was far from his initial expectation that sea cucumbers would be in short supply and would be sold out soon. So he only left Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" behind, instructed them to protect the "old saury" a little, and went to inspect the market by himself.

After shopping through the market, he went to the nearby fish store. He not only watched the whole process of bargaining with customers and completing the transaction several times, but also secretly remembered the prices of various aquatic products. By the time it was all over, more than two hours had passed.

When he came back, he inquired again, and after he left, the "old saury" only sold more than 40 sea cucumbers, and the price was still two cents. And there were two twists and turns in the middle, but fortunately he was prescient,

left Chen Liquan and "Little Baizi" behind, and the "Old Knife Fish" did not suffer.

Whenever you dare to do it, people who do small business will inevitably be harassed by ruffians or run into customers with bad intentions.

The first thing happened was that three or four kids wearing gray navy hats and white tennis shoes came out of nowhere on the market.

They shouted and drank one by one, swaying sideways on the street, and the appearance of a fox and a fake tiger and bullying the market was purely not enough to be beaten. Needless to say, this is the "real estate" ruffian.

These "local snakes" have probably never taken advantage of this place, and no one dares to provoke them from the hawkers who have been here for a long time, so they let them go all the way, grab a handful of melon seeds in the east and two melons and fruits in the west, and they are endlessly chic and free.

To say that these boys are not stupid, they do not provoke the big-shouldered and round-waisted "sea bumpers", and they are very measured to only take advantage of the peasants and women.

It's just that the "old saury" is an exception, because the old age has become a "vegetable" in their eyes. The boys' eyes lit up at the sight of him, and they gathered around him like flies on meat.

"Old Knife Fish" probably suffered their losses before, and when they first saw them, they packed up their things and wanted to leave, but these boys did not give up, pestering to take off the pants of "Old Knife Fish". Otherwise, let the "old knife fish" produce twenty sea cucumbers, and then he would be willing to let him go.

Chen Liquan naturally has no problem dealing with this kind of thing. He was also very thoughtful, in order not to affect the "old swordfish" to continue to sell goods, he first suppressed his anger, and led them all to a side alley under the pretext of buying cigarettes for these boys, and then let them go and teach them a lesson.

As a result, he beat these rabbit cubs with three or two blows, and finally picked up their pants with a tooth for a tooth, and threw them all on the roof next to them, leaving them to hold their legs, cover their stomachs, roll their eyes and worry about how to go home, which is considered to be a bad breath for the "old knifefish".

As for the second gear, it was "Little Baizi" who made another contribution.

Just after Chen Liquan beat down the gang of ruffians, another well-dressed old lady came. She saw that the sea cucumber of the "old saury" was in good condition, so she took the initiative to ask about the price.

"Old Knife Fish" saw that the old lady was about the same age as herself, and the family was also anxious to use the money, so the conditions offered were more favorable.

He said that for two cents, if the old lady could buy twenty, he would spare her five. This is actually equivalent to the price of a dime and six, and there is no such cheap price when you search the entire market.

Although the old lady thought the price was quite appropriate, she said that she was afraid that the sea cucumbers given to her by the "old saury" would be of different sizes or damaged. "Old Knife Fish" simply let the old lady choose it herself, but she didn't expect to be fooled this time. The old lady really squatted in front of the big bag full of sea cucumbers of the "old saury" and picked it up.

At the beginning, neither the "old knifefish" nor Chen Liquan noticed anything abnormal, but "Little Baizi" did the "Buddha" and quickly kicked Chen Liquan. Only then did Chen Liquan realize that something was wrong.

I saw the old lady chatting with the "old knifefish", but when she picked the sea cucumber, her hand secretly kept stuffing things into her sleeve.

And just when Chen Liquan was anxious to shout, "Little Baizi" pulled him in time, and then he himself walked over pretending to be a passerby.

In the end, the old lady only picked fifteen sea cucumbers, and she had to let the "old saury" spare five as she just said. Of course, the "old knife fish" felt that it was not cost-effective, so he straightened his teeth and asked if it was okay to spare the three. I didn't think that the old lady would hear it, so she stood up and was about to leave.

And at this time, UU reading ww.uukansh "Little Baizi" came forward to stop her. He deliberately smiled and said, "Such a good thing is cheap enough, you don't have this shop in this village, don't you bring any money?" It's okay, I can lend it to you......

As the saying goes, "people are old spirits, ghosts are old spirits". The old lady was transparent at one point, and her face turned white at that time, so she quickly turned over her cloth pocket, and she didn't need to say, of course the wallet inside was gone.

Just when her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to do, Chen Liquan finally walked over. He glared at the smiling "Little Baizi", "Okay." Give your wallet back. She's old, she's shameless, we can't do without it......"

In this way, under the stunned eyes of the "old knifefish", the old lady took her purse to hide her face and walked away, and the dozen or so sea cucumbers stuffed into the sleeves of her clothes were naturally returned.

After listening to the experience, Hong Yanwu couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings, he found that a person like "Lao Daoyu" who is too honest, no matter what year he is, can't do business.

In addition, he has walked around this circle, and the basic market has been figured out, and he feels that he has gained a lot and touched some contexts. So he immediately made a decision, and immediately asked the "old knifefish" to pack up his things, saying that he would never sell it like this again.
