Chapter 39: Catching Up with the Market (2)
After buying cotton, Zhou Shujie bought another piece of cloth.
The little girl actually took out a piece of flower cloth with white dots on a red background from behind the counter.
Zhou Shujie fell in love at a glance, what a beautiful color this is if you make cotton jackets and cotton pants for children!
I spent a high price of ten yuan to buy this two-meter-long cloth, which is an unattainable thing in this era, and if you can't use it more, you can keep it for your future daughter and make clothes for her.
I also bought some cloth for my mother-in-law to make cotton clothes.
bought some daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, and soap, and when Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday came out of the supply and marketing cooperatives with things in their hands, six of the twenty pieces of unity in their pockets had already been spent.
When Zhou Shujie asked Brother Tuesday to go to the market, Brother Tuesday said that he would not go, he said that there were too many things in the car, and he was afraid of losing them, so he asked Zhou Shujie to go shopping by himself, and he wanted to see the car.
Zhou Shujie is a little helpless, people are still very honest now, there are not so many petty thieves, even if they are dishonest, they will not steal anything in broad daylight.
Seeing that the second brother said that he would not go, Zhou Shujie could only walk to the market by himself.
Walking around, I saw a circle of people in front of me, and the people of the country were good at joining in the excitement, as long as there was a circle of people.
Zhou Shujie was the same, wanting to get through the crowd to see what was going on inside.
When I got to the front, I saw that it was two young men, and then recommended their goods to everyone, many people just stood there and listened, but no one took the initiative to buy.
Zhou Shujie took a look and found that it was kelp, this is not something that can be seen in the Northeast now, the villagers have not seen it, so naturally they don't know the goods, looking at the two young people talking sweaty, and they didn't sell a few copies.
Zhou Shujie stepped forward and asked, "How do you sell this kelp?"
Hearing Zhou Shujie's question, the eyes of the two of them lit up, revealing a surprised expression: "Eldest sister, you actually know that it is kelp, great! Can you explain it to the fellows." The benefits of this thing, no matter how I explain it, the fellows don't believe it. As long as you can explain it clearly, the eldest sister doesn't need you to buy it, I'll give you 5 catties for nothing. As he spoke, he waved his hand angrily.
When Zhou Shujie heard this, her eyes lit up, and this good thing. It's just a few words, and it doesn't take much effort. Just help them, and agreed.
Zhong Shujie turned to face the fellow villagers, and said with a smile: "I am our backer of the eighth team, and my husband was a soldier outside to bring it back to me, so I know it, it is a plant that grows in the sea called kelp, which is dried." Soak it in water at home, whether you cut it into shreds and eat it with cold vegetables, or cut it into chunks and potatoes, the dried tofu is delicious when stewed. Not only that, eating kelp vegetables often can cure hypochondriasis and prevent large thick necks. (The hypochondria mentioned here is a lack of calcium, children are deficient in calcium, their legs and feet are weak, and they can't walk without strength, and the countryside doesn't understand, so they call it hypochondrosis.) The big thick neck is a condition caused by low iodine intake, and kelp is a naturally salty flavor that grows in the sea. Eating iodine-containing ingredients can prevent big thick neck)
As soon as they heard Zhou Shujie explain like this, the two young men selling vegetables looked at each other and smiled and said loudly: "Yes, yes, it's like what this eldest sister said." ”
The people around listened to a little moved, wanted to buy, but did not dare to come forward, hesitated there, and then a chubby lady gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and said: "Give me 2 catties, my little grandson is three years old and walks straight to his head, people say that he is hypochondriasis, since you say that you can cure hypochondriasis, I will buy some and go back to my grandson to eat." ”
The eldest brother of the two brothers smiled and said, "The old lady's bone disease is slow to cure, you have to eat it for two months to see some effect." ”
As soon as the fat old lady heard that she could see the effect in two months, she gritted her teeth and said, "Give me another 2 catties, and I can tell you, if it is not good for me to see you here again in the future, I will tear you up." ”
The eldest brother smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll give you 4 catties, don't worry, old lady, the effect is not good, and I won't fight back when you come to beat me." ”
The second child on the side had already weighed the 4 catties, handed it to the old lady and said, "Your 4 catties of kelp, take it and go well." ”
The old lady was very satisfied with the attitude of the two young men, smiled and took the kelp cabbage, and walked out of the crowd and went home.
When the people around saw that the old lady had bought it, they all surrounded him, he asked for 2 catties, and she asked for 3 catties to buy it.
The two brothers who sold vegetables were in a hurry, one collected money, the other wanted to weigh, and the eldest brother also said to Zhou Shujie: "Sister, you wait for a while, let's talk about it later?"
Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "Okay, you guys are busy first, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Zhou Shujie waited on the side for half an hour. I saw the brothers send all the people who bought vegetables away.
The two of them wiped their sweat and straightened up. Grinned at Zhou Shujie.
The eldest brother weighed 5 catties of kelp vegetables, tied them with a rope and handed them to Zhou Shujie and said: "Thank you really for today, eldest sister, if there is no eldest sister to help us explain, the fellows will not believe us!
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Zhou Shujie helped them, and it was really not because of these five catties of vegetables. It's because these two people are quite young. It's quite progressive.,Now you can know that you sell kelp vegetables from the beach to the northeast.,I don't want to see them smash these vegetables in their hands.,That's why I came out to help.。
But what you say you want to give, do you still have to take it?
Zhou Shujie took the kelp with a smile and said: "Then I will thank the eldest brother, but this is not enough for me, after a while, the eldest brother of my uncle's family will get married, and I have to use a lot, I see that you don't have much left here." Or you can weigh me all. ”
When the two brothers heard this, they looked at each other in surprise and said. "I have to have at least 20 pounds, eldest sister, can you use so much?"
Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "It's okay, just keep it if you don't need it." I know this thing has been sitting for a long time. ”
The two brothers summed it up and said, "Okay, eldest sister, if you want it all, I'll give you a cheaper, and I sell everyone else for three cents, eldest sister, you just give two cents and five pounds." ”
Zhou Shujie smiled and said, "Then thank you so much, big brother." ”
The brothers put the kelp vegetables on the stall together, and took a large scale with a rope, which was more than 24 catties. said to Zhou Shujie: "Eldest sister, I'll count 24 pounds for you." It's three dollars and six cents in total. ”
Zhou Shujie took out three yuan and six cents from his pocket and handed them to the second child who was responsible for collecting the money.
The second child didn't check the money after taking it, so he just stuffed it in his pocket.
The eldest brother asked Zhou Shujie with a smile, if he sent it over, Zhou Shujie said that she could carry it without her, and was about to leave.
The second child stopped Zhou Shujie and said: "I have a bit of a shell, I picked it up on the beach, eldest sister, if you don't dislike it, take it back and play with the child."
Zhou Shujie looked at the shells he took out, none of them were too big, but they were all colorful and very beautiful. So he took it, thanked the two brothers, and then walked away with kelp and shells like an ox cart.
