Chapter 14: In the Circle of Friends
Zhou Xin was a little proud in his heart, you know, two days ago, ten watermelons were 2,000 yuan, and the elder sister Zhou Mei saw it with her own eyes at the time, this will be five baskets of vegetables, selling 1,008 at once, this guy, this guy, it has only been a few days, adding up to three or four thousand income.
You must know that Zhou Xin's previous advertising company's salary in January, but so, Zhou Mei was a coach, when it was good, it didn't exceed 3,400 a week, and it was good to have 2,000, but now it's better, there are more summer students, at most 3,000 yuan a week.
"Twelve yuan a pound of tomatoes, Xiao Xin, your vegetable is so expensive, why do people buy it." Zhang Fengzhi, I am afraid that my son will take the evil path, when, tomatoes sell for twelve yuan a catty, this, how is it possible, Zhang Fengzhi has bought vegetables for so many years, not to mention that he has never seen tomatoes for twelve yuan a catty, five yuan a catty, Zhang Fengzhi has to think about it for a long time.
Ordinary working families, who casually buy twelve yuan a pound of vegetables, even if you break your head, people will not want it. Not to mention Zhang Fengzhi, Zhou Xin's old man, a technician in the steel mill, Zhou Jianjun, is also full of worries, his son is not doing anything for others, doing something.
Zhou Mei, better, after all, twenty yuan a pound of watermelon, I saw my brother sell it with my own eyes. "Mom, Dad, don't worry too much, these people, I know, are from Yunshui Hotel."
"Yunshui Hotel, no, it's a five-star hotel, will you come to us to buy food?" Zhao Xiaodi on the side, opened his mouth slightly, Yunshui Hotel, usually his own home, not long, only uncle's house, long go to Yunshui Hotel for dinner.
A few at a time, thousands, if you drink a little wine, tens of thousands are considered ordinary, ordinary people, who goes there, unless it is a birthday, or, on an important day, grit your teeth and go there. Zhao Xiaodi's family is good, and his parents' salary is not small, but even so, it is good to be able to go seven or eight times a year.
As for Zhao Xiaodi and his younger brother's birthday, his parents' wedding anniversary, or his grandfather going to the city, so that he will go to Yunshui Hotel on this day, and the uncle's family often goes, but most of them talk about business.
Zhou Jianjun and Zhang Fengzhi seemed to remember. "I think about it, the child's father, our factory director's son got married, fortunately, it was in the Yunshui Hotel, that pomp, a table of banquets, I heard that it was two thousand eight hundred and eight, which was scary."
"It's not, no wonder they dare to buy vegetables for twelve yuan and a pound, only their family, a big hotel with a table of thousands of yuan can afford such expensive vegetables." Zhou Jianjun, thinking that the factory director's son got married, and he gave 500 red envelopes, but people were stunned and almost retreated.
Later, Zhou Jianjun was not very comfortable in the factory, and the factory director's son got married, which was generally a thousand, and he was embarrassed to be less. Fortunately, Zhou Jianjun's technology has passed, and he is about to retire, and the old employees and factory directors wear small shoes, which does not have much impact, and they do not expect to be promoted and raised.
Zhou Mei and Zhou Xin also listened to their mother and father talk about this, and Zhou Jianjun was complained by Zhang Fengzhi. "That's not right, Yunshui Hotel, such a big hotel, why did you come to buy groceries." Zhang Fengzhi suddenly reacted.
"yes?"
Not to mention, Zhang Fengzhi, Zhou Jianjun, Zhao Xiaodi reacted, Anxi Village, a small mountain village, came to a five-star hotel, specially came to buy, a few baskets of vegetables, who to deceive, who doesn't know, such a big hotel purchases vegetables at a time, at least one truck a day.
People must have their own procurement channels, the source of goods, how could they make a special trip to the ravine, for more than 100 catties of vegetables, joking, Zhou Mei felt strange, is it because her brother knows the hotel boss.
Zhou Xin saw his parents looking at him, and he knew, if he didn't explain it clearly, his father and mother would definitely not be at ease about this. "Dad, Mom, wait a minute, I'll go get something." With that, Zhou Xin entered the bedroom, took the document bag and walked out.
"Dad, look at it."
Zhou Jianjun took the file bag handed over by his son, opened it, and took out the documents. "What's this?"
"Dad, I'll take a look."
Zhou Mei came over. "Organic high-selenium-rich vegetables?"
"That's right, Dad, sister, it's not that the vegetables and watermelons in my yard are so expensive." Zhou Xin said proudly. "The vegetables in my garden are all high-selenium-rich organic vegetables, which are not available anywhere else."
"Watermelon too?"
"Yes, otherwise, sister, you should be, Yunshui Hotel is a fool, running to the ravine, buying watermelons and vegetables at a high price." Zhou Xin, saying this, it's true, if people don't see that your things are good, they will come to buy your things at a high price.
Zhao Xiaodi, Mian Rou, Zhao Ying, after all, they are from a big city, college students, compared to Zhou Jianjun, Zhang Fengzhi knows a lot about this thing. "High selenium organic vegetables, I heard that there is a supermarket in Kyoto that specializes in this kind of vegetables, and the price is quite high, only the rich go back to buy it."
"Yunshui Hotel bought it, I think it is also a high-end VIP box." Zhao Xiaodi said. "Those high-end VIP boxes, the minimum consumption is 8,000, more than 10 yuan a pound of vegetables, it's really nothing."
A few girls, you have a mouthful, I have a mouthful, and Zhou Jianjun and Zhang Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Xin, when did you have this ability?" Zhang Fengzhi is still a little worried, his son, he understands, this baby is not a hard-working person, how can he make up these vegetables, watermelon.
Fortunately, without waiting for Zhou Xin, she answered, and the elder sister Zhou Mei spoke on behalf of Zhou Xin and said the reason. "Mom, don't you know, Teacher Xiao Xin is a capable person, the village is shouting about the old fairy, Xiao Xin follows the old man to learn the skills."
"Old immortals?"
Zhao Xiaodi muttered, is it really like what grandpa said, like that, the old fairy is a person with great ability and ability, but, look at Zhou Xin, this guy not only grows vegetables, but also caresses the qin, and it seems that he can also have a tea ceremony.
But he is such a capable person, why is his head so unbright, knocking stones to pave the way, and the children in the village are making up songs and jokes, is it a test, yes, it must be, maybe this road is the training before leaving the school, no wonder this guy has some ability.
A few people were looking for trouble with Zhou Xin, but they would forget, after eating watermelon, they returned to the village, passing by the pond at the entrance of the village, listening to their aunts, sisters-in-law, gossiping, and talking bad about Zhou Xin, Zhao Xiaodi couldn't help but say a few words.
"What, a watermelon sells for 200 yuan, and a pound of tomatoes costs 12 yuan, girl, are you quite disobedient." Ermao's mother, her eyes are falling, her mouth is open, there is a watermelon in the town, at most ten yuan, everyone in the village feels that the old is expensive and expensive, one dollar and one pound of watermelon, it is just money, in the village, who bought it, maybe someone poked the backbone in the back, and the losers.
"That's it, the emperor can't afford to eat such an expensive watermelon." The fat girl pouted, and the child had no hair on her mouth and couldn't speak firmly.
"What we saw with our own eyes, it was bought from the best hotel in the city."
"Really?"
"This guy won't dig up the golden doll."
"It's not, this can't work, go to my uncle, say what to dig up the golden doll, let's also get it, this is Anxi Village, we can't cheap outsiders." Fat girl, mother, yelling.
"Yes, yes."
Zhao Xiaodi looked at it and was dumbfounded, these people, how can they be like this, what a golden doll, they are capable.
The women didn't care, they shouted and fanned and walked towards Master Gao's house. "What to do, Didi?" Where did Mian Rou encounter such a thing, she was frightened, and Zhao Ying was indignant. "Really, I just said bad things about others, and I will run away from other people's houses to ask for golden dolls, these people are too hateful."
"Quick, let's go tell Grandpa."
Master Gao got the news here and immediately rushed over. "What are you yelling at one by one."
"Uncle, you're not right, our village has been dug up by someone else, you can't ignore it." Ermao's mother has the loudest voice and speaks with confidence, this village woman doesn't have much ability, but when it comes to fooling around, few can compare.
"What, golden dolls, one by one yelling and shouting, golden dolls, when, don't be afraid of jokes."
"Uncle, you don't know yet, the young man on the mountain, the vegetables he grows, the melons, the money to buy the boss, if he doesn't dig out the golden doll, who will buy his vegetables at such a high price, and what vegetables will he grow before the hair grows." Fat girl, stiff neck, shouted.
"That's enough."
Master Gao held the dry tobacco pole and knocked the bluestone slab wall. "That's the ability that the little fairy learned from the old fairy, don't forget, people have saved this village, shouting and shouting, one by one."
"Uncle, we have to learn what skills."
"yes."
"It's really these people, it's so shameless." Zhao Ying, speechless, people have the ability, why should I leave it to you.
"Learn, you recognize a few words, learn, and go back to me one by one." Master Gao, snorted, Ermao's mother and the fat girl's mother, muttered a few times, don't you just recognize a few more words, what's there, one by one, muttering in my heart, this ability, we can't learn it, the children in the family are always good, what do you say to go to junior high school, and there are a lot of words you recognize.
One by one, in my heart, I plan, go back and call the baby outside, come back quickly, as for Zhou Xin, will you teach, these people have not considered it, they can't go to university, and they can't learn secretly.
Zhou Xin didn't know that he was targeted by a group of wolf-like women in the village, and at this time, while cooking in the kitchen, his mother Zhang Fengzhi looked at her busy son with a look of surprise. "Old man, take a look, son, this dish is really delicious."
"yes, it smells so good." Zhou Jianjun also nodded with a look of relief. "When you see other people's old immortals, you must thank them."
"Not really."
Zhou Mei, who helped Zhou Xin in the kitchen, touched Zhou Xin. "Xiao Xin, are you really not going back to the city?"
"I won't go back for a short time, by the way, sister, I plan to open a private vegetable shop." Zhou Xin said.
"What is a private vegetable shop, selling vegetables?" Zhou Mei, pick the vegetables and put them in the bamboo basket on the side.
Zhou Xin put down the kitchen knife and said with a smile. "Sister, hehe, it's not selling vegetables, it's what we usually call private dishes."
"Private cuisine, isn't that a restaurant, it's open in the mountains, does anyone come to eat?" Zhou Mei felt that her brother was whimsical.
"Sister, don't worry about this." Zhou Xin said with a smile. "As long as the private vegetable shop is famous, not to mention the ravine, there are people in the deep mountains and old forests to eat."
"That's right."
Zhou Mei doesn't know much about this. "I'll go back and ask your brother-in-law if he understands this."
"Forget it." Zhou Xin was a little uninterested in his brother-in-law, seeing Zhou Xin, he didn't say a few good words, he pretended to be big, and Zhou Xin was annoyed when he saw it.
"You." Zhou Mei sighed, her husband's person, forget it, don't talk about it.
