Chapter 48: Roaring in two voices
"Twenty yuan is not a small amount of money, is it worth it for me to cheat people for this twenty yuan? If I specifically cheat money, why don't I say ten yuan a catty?" Tong Chen felt a little angry in his heart.
Before setting the price, Tong Chen also went to the supermarket to take a turn, and the packaged eggs were ten yuan a catty, and there were more than ten yuan a catty, and the price ranged;
The man smiled: "Twenty yuan is not too little, ten yuan a pound and no one will buy your eggs."
Needless to say, ten pounds of eggs, even if there are dozens of them, there are still people who buy them, Tong Chen didn't say these words, he was too lazy to continue arguing with this guy, because Tong Chen knew that he always had his own reason, and maybe he would be angry in the end, such a person would not buy it, but would only spray on his mouth.
Seeing that Tong Chen no longer spoke, the man snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Tong Chen thinks that his good temper is also a little uncontrollable, you step on the horse too expensive and get out of the way, no one asks you to buy it, don't buy it, don't compare it, like a fly, it's annoying.
This is the aunt selling several corns with a smile, and turned her head to look at Tong Chen: "Young man, it is not so easy to do business, you have to be patient, what kind of customers are there, you have to learn to be patient."
Patience, of course Tong Chen understands this, but sometimes it is really hard to endure in the face of some people, it is simply a kind of torture.
"A few days ago, I didn't receive a hundred-dollar bill, but when I went to the credit union to make a deposit, people said it was a fake money, and my mind was clouded at that time, and it took a while to ease up, not to mention the hard work of several days, it was still a hundred yuan that I could get in exchange for a lot of corn and potatoes, alas", the aunt suddenly said such a past.
Tong Chen was slightly shocked, this aunt greeted almost every customer with a smile, but he didn't expect to have such a painful experience, although a hundred yuan does not seem to be a lot, but it is definitely not a small amount of money for a small trader like an aunt, but their hard-earned money.
For those who use fake money, Tong Chen has some hatred in his heart, some people use fake money just to take advantage, but helplessly many people get fake money after being cheated, and their hearts are also very unbalanced, so they will also try to spend this fake money, a vicious circle, which is extremely harmful to society, so this is also the purpose of the country's severe crackdown on fake money.
"Can't you tell the difference between real and fake banknotes?" asked Tong Chen.
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Isn't it real money if you touch the ***'s collar that is astringent and hard?"
"This is indeed one of the identification methods, but there are many more", and then Tong Chen took out a hundred-yuan bill and told his aunt some simple ways to distinguish it.
The aunt carefully took out one of her own banknotes, carefully identified it according to the method Tong Chen said, and after a long time, she smiled excitedly.
"Young man, what are you doing, don't you go to school, why do you come out to set up a stall and not find a good job", the aunt squatted on the ground and continued to ask.
He has not been going to school for many years, Tong Chen sighed in his heart, and he responded: "After graduation, I found a job like this temporarily."
"That's good, let's find another job in the future, it's useless to squat here."
In the following time, several people passed by Tong Chen's stall to ask about the price of eggs, but most of them asked but did not buy, only a man in a suit did not ask the price, and directly bought two catties, and Tong Chen earned the ten yuan in the morning.
It was far from the more than 100 yuan that Tong Chen had fantasized about a day before, he couldn't help but be a little disheartened, he still thought too easily, and nothing was so easy.
The morning with the most crowds had passed, and the market was deserted, and most of the vendors had already packed up their things and left, only some of the vendors who were still looking forward to selling a little more stayed in place, Tong Chen was one of them, and after a simple meal at the restaurant, he returned.
He really didn't dare to slack off like others, if he could only earn ten yuan a day, ten days later, it would be difficult to complete the task, Tong Chen couldn't accept this reality, if it was a hellish task, Tong Chen really didn't have the ability to complete it, then he didn't have any regrets.
Tong Chen's aunt also left at some point, he squatted here alone, although he was not tired, but his heart was not relaxed.
Compared with the people coming and going in the morning, there are not many people during the day, and at the end of the day, Tong Chen did not work in vain, and sold two catties of eggs.
Of course, Lin Wanru and Tong Fucheng wondered what their son was doing, he had nothing to do? Why did he suddenly remember to sell eggs? Especially Tong Fucheng wondered if Tong Chen didn't go out to look for a job, did he just sell eggs at home? Then he went to college in vain.
Tong Chen naturally thought of an excuse in advance, and he responded: "The eggs left over from the wholesale at home are enough to eat, and the eggs can't be stored for a long time, so these native eggs will be sold."
When Lin Wanru heard it, hey, it seemed to be the same thing, and she no longer questioned Tong Chen's behavior of selling eggs.
At night, Tong Chen was lying in bed, but his heart couldn't calm down, what should he do next?
On the third day of the mission, Tong Chen came to the county market again, although he also had the heart to come early to occupy a favorable position, but the vans in the village set off regularly every day.
After looking for a while, Tong Chen came to yesterday's location again, and his aunt was still setting up a stall there, selling corn and potatoes.
"Young man, are you here again today?" the aunt greeted warmly.
"Hmm", Tong Chen also has a good impression of this aunt.
After Tong Chen packed up his things today, he took out a specially prepared plastic bowl, the kind with a lid, and an ordinary egg with a slightly smaller body.
Auntie thought that the young man in front of her was fresh for a day and would not come back the next day, but she didn't expect it to come again.
"What are you doing with a bowl?", the aunt didn't think about it for a moment.
Tong Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
"You are so old, why do you still come out to sell things", Tong Chen replied.
There will be no customers for a while, and the aunt is happy to have someone to talk to her.
"This person, as soon as he gets older, he has nothing to do around him, he will be idle and bored, and he will be a little bit of a mess and wait for death, I simply sell some corn and potatoes, and I have something to do, and I can also earn some living expenses by the way", the aunt talked eloquently.
Tong Chen was a little puzzled: "Your children should give you living expenses, and you still use yourself to earn money?"
The aunt shook her head: "I have a son and a daughter, they have long been married and have children, they are also very filial, they always want me to move in with them, I have also lived for a while, but I am still a little unaccustomed, they are not at home during the day, and they are also busy after work at night, either watching TV or playing with their mobile phones with their heads down, it is better for me to be at ease alone."
Of course, Tong Chen heard the meaning of the aunt's words, it seems that they are together on the surface, but in fact, their hearts are not together, and it is strange that the old man is willing to stay.
