Chapter 6, The Old Shop in the White Dove Gate

When the three of them came to the vegetable market, Lao Li spread a sack on the ground and untied the goods, forty or fifty strings of dried wild boar, and seventeen or eighteen dried hares, a bag of ginger and a bag of dried bamboo shoots.

Yang Futang helped Lao Li tie up the pillar that led the horse to the side, and then found an excuse to leave, it seems that he still doesn't want to get involved in this kind of "investment reversal" again!

Yang Fan looked at the dirty environment around him and frowned slightly.

"Lao Li, you sell here first, I'll take a look around. Yang Fan wants to know about the current market situation.

"Okay, don't go far, I'm lost and your grandpa is looking for someone to ask for!" Lao Li bought so many goods for the first time, and he was a little stunned, and he still hoped that Yang Fan could turn decay into magic like last time!

"Haha, the person who can kidnap me hasn't been born yet!"

……

Yang Fan walked casually in the market, stopping from time to time to ask this and that, and others always ignored him when they saw him as a little kid.

"Dog Meat Shop" is a more famous place in Tietang Town, and the countrymen say "Go to Dog Meat Shop!" at every turn. Yang Fan remembered that not long ago, his father killed the big black dog in the family, and when the whole stew was cooked, he used a basket to put a few dishes and chopsticks, covered with a dustpan, and came to the dog meat store to sell it with a small dining table and a few stools, and a big black dog was sold for more than nine yuan, but when he went home, several neighbors exclaimed again and again that it sold too much!

Now there are only three or four stalls selling dog meat in the dog meat shop, and the people of Tietang Town call it "white cut dog", the whole one is cooked in clean water and put out the bones to cut out, and the guests need to cut out and dip some sauce to eat. There are many stalls next to it, but they sell cooked pork, most of which are piglets who have died of pox, and the old men are drinking and eating with relish. Yang Fan felt sick to his stomach when he saw it, he knew that this situation was not gradually banned until more than eight years.

……

Yang Fan walked slowly out from the vegetable market, and unconsciously walked to the "White Pigeon Gate", which is a crossroads, and in later generations it was the prime location of the entire Tietang Town. Nowadays, most people walk to catch the market, and the walk is relatively close to the old street, but in the future, bicycles will have to walk from here, and soon it will be lively.

At the opposite intersection is a row of low brick houses, and in front of it is an old lady who has a stall in front of the door.

"Grandma, how do you sell this sour radish?"

"A penny. ”

"Okay, I want two. Yang Fan said and took out the five yuan.

"Oh, brother, I can find such a large amount of money from the old woman!" the old woman cried out in fuss.

Is five yuan a big deal? Yang Fan scratched his head helplessly, and he couldn't get five yuan for the children in the future life.

Yang Fan originally wanted to forget about not eating, but suddenly thought of something, it turned out that this is the shop of the two "-stirring sticks" brothers in later generations, in 2016, these two shops were rated as one of the top ten stains in Tietang Town by good deeds, and even Tietang Town could not successfully withdraw from the town and change the city to this reason, surrounded by high-rise buildings, these two short and old old shops are particularly dazzling, it is said that the brothers and the government are still what people are fighting or something, and they are not sold or demolished, Yang Fan remembers that they have not been demolished until they crossed...... Thinking of this, Yang Fan hurriedly changed his words and said, "Grandma, wait a minute, I'll go find it!"

Yang Fan quickly went to the state-run store opposite and bought a pack of red plum cigarettes and a box of matches, and there was no prohibition on buying cigarettes under the age of 18 at all.

Yang Fan bought two slices of radish sour as he wished, and sat on the stool next to him while chatting with the old lady without saying a word, and learned that she had two sons and was eating at home. If the old lady usually didn't have the time to accompany him to talk nonsense, but seeing Yang Fan's behavior just now, the old lady already thought that this was not a simple child.

“…… Grandma, are you renting out this house?" Yang Fan finally got to the point.

The old lady obviously didn't expect Yang Fan to come up with such a big question, and she was suspicious for a while before asking, "What do you want to rent it for?"

Yang Fan didn't hide it, and said that there were relatives in the mountains at home, and he wanted to rent a store to sell some mountain goods and make some snacks or something.

"Does the government agree?" said the old lady with some concern.

"Now the state of the government is so chaotic, the officials are all open and closed, they are all protecting themselves, I guess they don't agree or object, you see how many of the dog meat shops are raised and killed by themselves? Let's keep a low profile, I dare to say that there will definitely be a policy to agree with us to do this business in a few years!" Yang Fan clenched his fists fiercely, these years are starving to death for the faint and bold!

The old lady thought about it, she had seen enough ridiculous things in this absurd world, so she asked, "What kind of rent law do you want?"

"Can I go in and have a look?"

"Yes, follow me......

This town is more than ten meters long, and there is a small courtyard shared with the next door at the back, and there is a patio in the yard, and there is a well in the middle of the patio.

"Can it be rented out next door?" Yang Fan asked, knowing that the shops in these two towns belonged to the old lady, and the old lady still had a house to live in the old street.

"Why are you renting so much?" The old lady was strange, her two shops had been empty, and it was of course a good thing to be able to rent them out, but there was a faint trace of inexplicable fear in her heart. Of course, the more the better, Yang Fan thought to himself, but he still said that the two are easy to manage together, and sometimes there is a place to stay when people in the mountains can't go back...... In the end, I negotiated with the old lady that the two town shops were rented for three years at 12 yuan per month, and each room was 6 yuan a month, which was quite high according to the price level at that time.

...... Yang Fan returned to the vegetable market and saw Lao Li still in a daze, and the goods on the ground were almost untouched.

"Lao Li, how is it selling?"

"No, I'll sell it for two catties of ginger!" Lao Li said dejectedly.

"The environment here is too bad, let's go to the 'White Pigeon Gate' to sell!"

"Do you want to sell it there?" said Lao Li with a wince.

"Let's sell it, someone comes to drive us away, can they still arrest us and shoot us?" Yang Fan said and began to pack up his things. Lao Li felt that it was not a problem to go on like this, so he also began to clean up.

On the way to the White Pigeon Gate, Yang Fan told Lao Li what had just happened while walking, Lao Li was really excited, some old people in the mountains often said, "I'd rather be a dog on the street than a person in the mountains!" This made Lao Li very unconvinced, but the reality made him feel helpless, no matter where he went, there were always people behind his back to call them "mountain guys"!

…….

"Fourth woman, this is my cousin, I brought him over to see the shop, can I sell something here with you by the way?"

"I don't have any problem here, when someone comes to care about you, they will say that they are my relatives, say a few more good words, and if they let you go, you can leave, don't quarrel with others!" Mrs. Chen is worried about her son's marriage this time, Yang Fan and they want to rent a shop is undoubtedly here to send charcoal in the snow, so she tries her best to promote this business!

Lao Li was about to spread the sack on the ground, but Yang Fan hurriedly stopped him and told him to move a table out of the shop, cover it with old newspapers before putting the goods on it.

……

"The game in Dalong Mountain, don't miss it when you pass by......" Yang Fan drank hard, and Lao Li could only sigh to himself!

Slowly people began to gather......

"This is wild boar, this is hare meat......"

"Little brother, how do you sell wild boar?" asked a worker.

"Wild boar meat only sells for two yuan a catty! Master, you see how dry this meat is, it doesn't weigh much at all, and this skewer is enough for the family to have a good time!"

"Can it be cheaper?"

"It's not cheap, a wild boar dried is just a little bit, and what is concentrated here is the essence!"

"Hehe, bring me two strings!" the master worker was amused.

……

"Master, take two catties of dried bamboo shoots and stew them together, this is wild winter bamboo shoots, very chewy!"

"Hahaha! Little brother is really good at doing business! Okay, let's get two catties of dried bamboo shoots, if it's not delicious when I go back, I'll come to you to settle accounts!"

"You put one hundred and twenty hearts, and we will sell them in this shop in the future, if it's not delicious, you can remove all the tiles on my roof!" Yang Fan patted his chest and promised, and picked up a piece of ginger and stuffed it to him, "This piece is free for you!"

……

People buy a piece, I buy a bunch and rush to buy, and the overly pronounced Lao Li was suddenly in a hurry and sweating profusely!

Yang Fan really couldn't stand it, and grabbed the weighing rod in the past to take command in person.

"Two catties and two taels, 4 yuan and 4 cents, thank you!"

"One pound and eight halves, even if it's one pound and eight, 3 yuan and 6 cents, thank you!"

"Two pounds and six taels... Rest assured, there is only more than less! Five yuan and two cents...... If you forget it, it's five dollars, and you'll be killed!"

……

Lao Li's eyes were straight when he looked at him next to him, and he almost forgot to accept the money!

Everyone was also amazed, this looks like a six-year-old child? Yang Fan only smiled helplessly when he heard it, in his previous life, he began to sell vegetables in the factory living area behind the village in the first grade of elementary school, and he didn't know how many hawkers he had dealt with in his life, what was this matter?

Soon the goods on the table were swept away, and only a few catties of ginger remained.

"Who told you to set up a stall here?" shouted an old man with a red armband with a black face behind him.

Yang Fan looked back, and the time to come was finally here.

"Ouch, uncle, we came to the market late, and we can only put it here for a while, and close the stall immediately!" Yang Fan said and quietly stuffed the pack of red plum cigarettes to him. At this time, the fourth woman also came over to help and said, "Lao Zhang, these two are distant relatives of my family......."

"Take it away at once, it's a sidewalk!" the old man's face finally softened.
