1216 Reality: Documentary of the Fallen Master (6)
After waiting for the person in front of him to finish looking for the price and take away an electronic watch, Gu Zheng squatted down and asked how to buy it.
"How did you sell it?"
"Five Dollars ......"
After the two of them asked and answered, they became speechless and stared at each other.
Gu Zheng can be regarded as discovering that the small merchants and hawkers in this year have not yet learned the shrewdness of later generations.
In this market, there is always a state of unequal demand.
Ordinary vendors can afford to pay the price, and they don't have to worry about no one coming to buy.
Where are they as enthusiastic as the merchants of later generations, and as attentive as God to their customers?
Thinking of Gu Zheng with this, he smiled.
He took out the vigor he had when he visited the Dahongmen morning market, and regarded the hairy young man opposite as a sharp vendor...... Aunt Red Door came to praise.
"Brother, if you are really what kind of person, you will be worthy of what kind of goods. ”
"I see that my little brother is a few years younger than me, but he has a pleasant eyebrow and a good demeanor, and at first glance he is a person who does big things. ”
"Look at this goods again, it's really a good product. ”
"It's a pity......"
After saying half a sentence, the tall crew who had just been praised was scratched by Gu Zheng's words that he wanted to speak and stopped, and his heart was itching very much.
After he waited for more than ten seconds, and the other party didn't continue, he asked impatiently: "What is the pity?"
But Gu Zheng, who picked up the only electronic watch on the stall, looked at the watch back and forth, and then slowly continued to say this half-sentence: "It's a pity that this goods came a little late." ”
"I came to Nancheng by train from my hometown, and I got lost on the train, so I went to the dining car that the conductor drove alone. ”
"There was a young man from a big city who had a watch that looked exactly like this dial. ”
It's just that the mother-in-law next to him took out a smaller than this, bright silver, also plastic, but a special flash electronic watch. ”
"Yes, that's the most popular one right now. ”
"I look at it as a rare product, but I think ah, this electronic watch, I'm afraid it won't be long before another kind of product becomes popular. ”
"You also know that this rarity, no more than televisions, bicycles, is hard currency, this plastic watch, the price is much cheaper than machinery. ”
"People buy it for the sake of fashion, in the words of the young people. ”
"I said, little brother, your watch is really sturdy and good, especially suitable for people like us. yes, I'm afraid it won't sell anymore. ”
"Ahh
Gu Zheng's face is too deceptive, and his dress and identity are ...... It's also too convincing.
Who would have thought that a porter would have great insight, he only said the facts he saw.
So, the stunned seller stared at a large package of goods behind him.
His ship will leave the port again in a few days, and if his package of goods cannot be sold in these few days, I am afraid that the next time he returns to port, it will be seven or eight days of work.
It's just that at that time, it was not up to him to decide how much these electronic watches could sell for.
Thinking of the crew here, his face was depressed for a while, but just when he hung up his photo, Gu Zheng on the opposite side was kind.
"That's it, brother, I'll buy more if you're cheaper, anyway, it's not a loss, don't you know, we have a lot of dolls in the mountains. ”
"I'm afraid that one person can buy me a piece and be poor. ”
"You tell me the truth, how much is the minimum amount you are willing to sell, and I will help you solve it more, it's better than smashing it in your hands. ”
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have valuable collateral, Gu Zheng would have the heart to take out a loan in batches and eat all the goods in this box.
Hearing Gu Zheng say this, the small crew on the other side couldn't help but feel grateful.
He gritted his teeth and calculated carefully, and finally said the lowest price he could accept.
"Three pieces of five, it can't be lower!"
He wanted to sell it and use the money to buy a two-cylinder washing machine for his elderly mother at home.
The tap water in the alley was too cold, and my mother was too old, so when she washed her clothes in the cold water in winter, she would always let the frostbite that had fallen from the old days flare up.
It's red and swollen, like a big steamed bun, and it makes him feel sad to see how sad he is when he is a son.
Therefore, his lowest psychological price is 350 yuan, and the price of a double-cylinder washing machine with an industrial volume is also 357 yuan.
He had already let out a box of profits to dot up and down, and he only had the hundred goods in his hand left.
Hearing this price, the man who squatted across from him who didn't seem to be going to buy a lot at all took out a handful of gross tickets, block tickets, and a mixture of steel hammers from his pocket, no more, no less, a full thirty.
"Hey, you're a person, I said three dollars and five ......."
Before the young crew could finish his words, three more buckles made of silver appeared in front of him.
Look at the workmanship on the top, engraved with the pattern of the bat that has been lucky to arrive, not to mention how exquisite.
"What are you?"
Looking at the bewildered person opposite, Gu Zheng smiled a little innocently: "This is the silver jewelry made by the craftsmen in my hometown." ”
"It's all made of good silver. I didn't have any cash, so I wondered if I could use this to offset the cash. ”
"This one buckle has three grams, and the current price of silver is 10 yuan per gram according to our calculations in that place. ”
"We're also going to figure it out......"
"These, you give me 35 watches, don't you think?"
This is a big business, the little crew member raised his head and stared at Gu Zheng tightly for a long time, after confirming that the other party was not joking with him, he lowered his head again, stared at the silver plate buckle in his hand for a long time, and when Gu Zheng thought that this deal would not be successful, the young crew member squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Okay!"
All of a sudden, Gu Zheng relaxed.
Although the silver price he said is the selling price on the market now, and the silver buckle in his hand is the old silver jewelry that his ancestors have explored for generations, one of which is still the work of the client, but the overall situation is still true.
Gu Zheng didn't pit this poor child.
He got the first pot of gold he wanted, and the other party also got the real money he wanted the most.
Everyone was happy.
Only Qin Bayi, who was at a loss, looked at Gu Zheng and stopped, with a worried face.
It wasn't until Gu Zheng took a cotton bag given to him by the other party and put up all his treasure-like electronic watches, Qin Bayi dared to drag Gu Zheng's cuffs, dragged him to the innermost corner of the market, and persuaded him with some concern: "You doll, why do you buy so many of these things?"
If you can't eat it, what is the use of just making it fashionable?
But Gu Zheng couldn't explain to Qin Bayi what fashion means for young people in this era.
In this country that has gradually awakened itself and is different, there is a detail that is different from this great era, and it can make the young people of this era feel sincerely happy and excited.
This electronic watch represents not only a tool to see the time, but also a way to show personality and wealth to others.
It's a pity that in the eyes of Qin Bayi, who can't see the business opportunities and doesn't have the courage to try to change, they are the scourge in his hands.
But for Gu Zheng, who already has a plan for the next step, it is the necessary material foundation for the rise of his wealth.
Therefore, now Gu Zheng touched his head honestly, and did not answer Qin Bayi's next words, but as if he remembered something, he asked Qin Bayi for a short vacation in advance.
"Uncle Qin, are we going to have a big shift change tomorrow? I want to take half a day off, and I won't eat lunch in Hong Kong, can you help me say a word to Brother Xing?"
Qin Bayi, who understood what Gu Zheng was going to do in just one sentence, nodded and agreed: "You want to send it to your family, right?"
"Okay, there is a post office not far from the port, you just came to Nancheng and haven't settled down, and it's not easy to get up and go to work on the first day. ”
"I'll tell Lao Xing about this, in fact, there really isn't any fixed time for our work. ”
"You just need to remember to complete the basic 100 pieces of work every day, and when you are usually free, no one will care about you even if you go out every day. ”
Hearing this, Gu Zheng nodded in response, he successfully understood the benefits of his temporary job, and also diverted Qin Bayi's attention by the way.
When the two of them returned to the shed, they both subconsciously concealed their harvest for the evening.
The other workers in the shed were tired for a day, even if there were one or two curious people, they couldn't stand Gu Zheng's smiling face but kept their mouths shut.
This night in the south of the city, which has begun to get hot and dry, is filled with all kinds of indescribable smells in this well-ventilated shed.
Sweat smell, foot odor, fox odor, smelly is very distinctive.
Accompanied by teeth grinding, snoring, and unconscious dream talk, Gu Zheng's first night in this world was so wonderful.
He thought that he would toss and turn and find it difficult to adapt, but who thought that he could not resist the fatigue of his body and the nervousness of his mind after coming to a new world, but he fell asleep not long after he got on the pillow.
In his sleep, he smelled the hometown of the client of this world, probably the pillow he was resting on with his head down...... It's because the grandma in the village has filled it with the petals of dried flowers.
There were too many faces in the village, turning around in front of Gu Zheng's eyes, trying to remind him in this way that the burden on his body made him not forget the original intention of coming to this world.
And Gu Zheng was in his mind when the villagers in the village lined up in the village...... Woke up again.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that the surroundings had begun to be darkened, but the air seemed to be even more polluted.
"Hoo ......"
Gu Zheng, who spit out a breath of turbidity, pressed his temples that jumped out a little, quietly climbed down from his bed, carried a piece of linen cloth in his hand, and planned to go to the faucet outside to get a handful of water to wake up his brain.
Who would have thought that when he had just wiped his face twice, a short figure squatted down beside him.
It's Qin Bayi.
Gu Zheng, who was a little puzzled, waited for Uncle Qin's words with a handkerchief like this, but saw this old man who had just known him for a day, and stuffed a dime with raw edges into his hand.
"It will take some time to get up early in the big cafeteria, and I see you like this, I'm afraid you're going to go out soon. ”
"Yesterday, I was afraid that I spent all the money given by the family, and I think there are still silver plate buckles that can only be made by the elderly. ”
"My uncle's family has a large population, so I can't help you, but if I tell others about your doll, if you bring me as an old man to work, I will know that you are a real child. ”
"Uncle doesn't have much here, you can take this money to buy some breakfast to pad your stomach." ”
Looking at the wrinkled dime, with wet hand sweat on it, and then at Qin Bayi's somewhat worried eyes, Gu Zheng's heart was warmed by this faint concern.
He didn't refuse, he responded crisply, and after reaping Qin Bayi's reassuring smile, he picked up the pocket on his side and took advantage of the dense fog of the morning to plunge into the unknown back road.
The direction in which Gu Zheng is moving forward is very clear, it is the railway station in Nancheng.
This is a major landmark that is located on the east and west sides of the city with the port, but is connected by several bus lines, even an outsider like Gu Zheng will not open his eyes and go in the wrong direction.
Now he has to worry about which car he is going to sit in.
If it were the original client, I am afraid that I would choose the cheapest tram, and the fare is only three cents.
But standing here was Gu Zheng, when he saw the most expensive but fastest bus coming, he had already forgotten the difference in fares between the two, and resolutely jumped up.
"Comrade, the price of the ticket to the train station. ”
Gu Zheng, who didn't think much about it, handed the dime that Qin Bayi stuffed to him to the conductor.
The waiter, who wore sleeves and a blue-gray uniform, pulled out a huge wooden board from under the baffle of the conductor's seat without even lifting his eyelids.
Among them, there are a total of five tickets, which are clamped to the wooden board with clips of different sizes.
A sturdy gray cotton thread is tied to the top of this plank.
There was a pencil head hanging on it, and when Gu Zheng was surprised by what this pencil was used for, he saw the conductor's next set of quite skillful ticketing actions.
I saw the conductor pick up the pencil tip and ...... 'thorn' at the top of the Maran-colored tickets in the middle row of five-bill tickets...... After making a stroke, as a mark of the ticket coupon's sale, the 'stab' was another ...... tore off this bill, which represented that Gu Zheng had bought a ticket and was invalid at the same time, from the original ticket coupon, and handed it to Gu Zheng by the way.
"If you pass the station, you still need to make up the ticket!"
"Hey!"
On the one-third acre of land of the bus, even people like Gu Zheng are inexplicably intimidated.
Today's conductors, how can they send warmth like they are now?
The conductor sitting in the special seat is not much different from Cixi, who sat in the Forbidden City in the early years.
Because he got on the car early, Gu Zheng loaded the quails all the way, and took advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the car, and got out of the car quietly.
When he arrived at the train station, he really felt the epitome of the most prosperous and messy city in a city.
The empty buses don't represent the revival of the southern city, but the train station, which is still dilapidated and has not yet been renovated, can.
In this small empty yard, there are breakfast shops specially divided by the train station, and further down the street, there are many small hotels converted from private houses.
Because it is still a period of half-concealment, no one dares to hang the sign of the hotel outside as it will in the future.
However, by standing at the entrance of the alley, the general occupation of the uncle and aunt who usually pulls guests in front of the train station has appeared sporadically.
Seeing such a familiar scene, Gu Zheng left the last bit of rustiness behind, and with the small flow of people on the train station, he came to the ticket hall that was not too luxurious.
In fact, Gu Zheng didn't have a definite judgment on where he was going next.
But he has a particularly simple and crude way of self-selection.
The journey is the shortest, the fare is the least, and the surrounding economy is the weakest, but the local consumption level is not low.
These are the four basic principles of his goal.
And he really found a suitable place on the rows of fare plates, which were basically marked by hand.
Wucheng, the round-trip ticket price is 2.4 yuan, and the single drive takes two and a half hours.
The first train was a passing bus, and there was no seat for the ticket, but it would leave in 20 minutes.
This is also why Gu Zheng has no hesitation.
He took out the little bit he had just earned yesterday, gritted his teeth and bought the round-trip ticket, but when he left the ticket hall and passed through the entrance of the station, he was disturbed by the aroma of the small breakfast stall under the plastic tarpaulin on the side.
Gu Zheng, who was standing on the spot, looked at the middle-aged woman pouring soybean milk into a large flat bowl with a big iron scoop on the stall, but what came to mind was the fried golden noodle fish that echoed the aroma.
It's so fragrant, the more his body lacks oil and water, the more Gu Zheng craves this kind of big oil and salt.
It's just that time waits for no one, so he can't help but sit down and eat a cake full of oil.
However, by the way, he bought a flatbread, and he was still willing to pay for it.
So, Gu Zheng, who couldn't bear his saliva, rushed to the front of the proprietress as soon as he turned his feet, pointed to the sweet flatbread that had just come out of the pot on the iron grate, and brought himself one.
This woman with soft words and quick hands and feet, with her southern shrewdness, casually promoted the most expensive meat and vegetable noodles on the stall, but after Gu Zheng shook it firmly, she showed a look of disappointment.
"Eldest sister, when did you open this stall?"
Gu Zheng, who couldn't bear to be attracted by the aroma here, subconsciously felt that this was a rare and delicious snack stall.
