Chapter 9: Crazy Robbery
Wang Hai never thought that he was in a state of anxiety and worried about how to open a big business of selling vegetables, and before he could shout, or even before the guests came to the door, the peers of this gang of stalls began to go crazy, and generally rushed towards him with a handful of tickets for two or five yuan.
"Dude, give me two pounds!"
"Dude, bring me a kohlrabi!"
"Big brother, bring me a bundle of leeks!"
"Brother, bring me two catties of celery!"
"Boss, I've got it all, can you tell me a price?"
The shrewd businessman, who wanted to buy all these dishes and sell them at a high price, was immediately despised and denounced by his peers around him.
"I said, Biaozi, what's the matter with you, kid, show that you're rich, right?"
"It's, it's, what do you mean, kid?"
"Brothers, I want to buy some fresh vegetables to eat, what do you have any opinions?"
"I don't think you kid want to mess around here, do you?"
Seeing that the angry Biao saw that the big thing was not good, he hurriedly apologized to everyone in the circle and asked for forgiveness, and at the same time took out a box of stone forest cigarettes for five yuan in his pocket, and gave everyone cigarettes one by one.
In this year, everyone generally smokes low-priced cigarettes that don't even have filters for five cents and eight cents a box of Daqianmen, the official hall, the local Daihe and the customs, which are still in good condition.
The conditions are not good, and if you are addicted to smoking, you should buy tobacco leaves and roll them yourself!
Wang Hai took the stone forest cigarette, which was called Biaozi by many traders, and took a beautiful puff. This kind of cigarette was not so easy for him to smoke before, a proper high-end product!
"Brother, did you really grow it yourself? Didn't you collect it from the customs area? ”
Hearing the flattering Biao Zi next to him ask, Wang Hai suddenly lost the joy of smoking a high-end cigarette with a filter, and looked back at him in surprise.
As soon as Biao Zi saw Wang Hai's expression, he knew that this person must not be lying, this is a master who can make a greenhouse! Not to mention the nearby villages, even the whole county has not heard of anyone who can make a greenhouse and grow vegetables by himself, this is holding a cornucopia!
In addition to being excited, Biao Zi saw Wang Hai's very surprised expression, and also understood that Wang Hai, like ordinary local farmers, estimated that he had never even entered the county seat once in his life, let alone the city. Naturally, I don't know anything about the new vegetable greenhouses in the customs area, so it should be.
"Hehe, I believe my brother made these dishes by himself. I'm talking about the customs area, where a few years ago the city organized a lot of greenhouses. But you also know that when the government intervenes, it will have to do that! ”
"What's that?"
Seeing Biao Zi's eyebrows and eyes, very obscene, Wang Hai asked very puzzled. He really didn't know why the government would do that when it intervened.
"Hehe, ordinary people can't buy it, it's all covered by the government. Don't talk about this, since this dish is grown by your brother, it's easy to say. In this way, brother, I am a professional vegetable seller, do you think this will work? In the future, all the vegetables you have there will be covered by me, so you can rest assured and boldly concentrate on growing vegetables at home, how about it? ”
Hearing Biao Zi say this, Wang Hai was of course moved. As a local farmer, he didn't have much knowledge, so this time he came to sell vegetables, but in fact, he didn't even think about how to shout and speak.
It's just that, soon, he thought of another thing. Before he came, the eldest son was told not to sell the price of the vegetables low, and I don't know if people are willing to sell such a high price?
As a professional vegetable seller, Biao Zi saw Wang Hai's embarrassed expression, and when he turned his head and thought about it, he understood what was going on. Thinking that he could have a stable base that could provide him with fresh vegetables in winter in the future, he secretly gritted his teeth and was ruthless.
"Big brother, are you worried about the price? In this way, I will give you two yuan a pound for your kohlrabi, three yuan for celery, and two yuan for leeks and five yuan, what do you think? ”
Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, and the cigarette that was originally sent to his mouth in his hand stopped when it reached his mouth. Turning his head and glancing at Biaozi in a daze, his eyes full of distrust.
Now, it can scare Biaozi. He was very depressed and thought, is this the legendary pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Don't people know the price of these fresh vegetables in the city, right?
But when he turned his head to think about it, he wanted to slap himself. Nima's stupid! To be able to build a greenhouse in such a place where birds don't, how could it be possible if it didn't matter?
Biaozi didn't believe that the greenhouse was made by Wang Hai himself without the help of someone who had the ability. Is this a greenhouse that grows fresh vegetables in winter? There are more than a dozen acres of land in the entire city and the customs area, but it was built with special funds allocated by the city to curry favor with the leaders of the central sanatorium.
Thinking of this, Biao Zi looked at Wang Hai with a depressed expression: "Big brother, I'm convinced!" Then you have to give your brother a little money, don't you? Kohlrabi is two pieces five, celery is three pieces five, leeks are two pieces eight, it really can't be higher! ”
"Okay! All the dishes at home are given to you! ”
Wang Hai roared, and the frightened Biaozi almost jumped up.
However, after hearing Wang Hai's words, he immediately smiled, and very enthusiastically took out a box of unopened stone forests from his pocket and stuffed them into Wang Hai's pocket, which made Wang Hai so embarrassed!
The surrounding people heard the conversation between the two, and when they heard that the price of this dish was so high, most of them immediately retreated. Nima, the best meat with four fingers and big fat (the standard for measuring the quality of meat in the countryside, the fat of generally pork belly has four fingers side by side, so thick is the best) can't sell for two pieces of five, right?
Okay, it's more expensive to eat a pound of your vegetables than a pound of good pork belly!
This is not the time when people have eaten enough meat more than 20 years later and have begun to learn from the people in the city to pursue a healthy diet. Throughout the year, except for busy farming, New Year's holidays, or ruthless buying some meat when important guests come, most people can't see any meat at other times.
Even chicken bones, which are very popular in the countryside, only began to appear a few years later after a large feed processing company settled in Hong Kong City.
Chicken bones for one dollar or two dollars a piece have been popular in the local countryside for a long time, and even after more than ten years, the living conditions have been greatly improved, and everyone is still eager for this kind of high-quality and inexpensive ingredients.
"Today's dishes are two yuan a catty, I thank you for giving me a cheer!"
As soon as Wang Hai finished saying this, before the others could react, a few guys who had already been far away rushed up with lightning speed, and without saying a word, they ran to the two baskets of vegetables and started directly.
There are not many such things, there is a way to have fast hands, but slow hands! Start first and eat the favor, and then start to suffer, those who believe in the old saying have a advantage, and those who don't believe will wait to stare at it! Although it is more expensive, it is no problem to buy some and go back to taste Du Yu, these traders.
When the others saw that these shameless guys had robbed them, they couldn't bear it, and immediately rushed up and directly squeezed out Wang Hai, the master and the biaozi.
It is said that these perennial stalls and sellers are definitely the best people in the nearby ten miles and eight towns in this year. In this year's business, although everyone doesn't have much money in their hands, after all, it is a business, and if they really lose money, no one can stick to it.
And these guys who have fixed stalls are undoubtedly the best of these businessmen, each of whom is "worth a lot of money", but the low-key belief of the countrymen makes them rarely mention it in front of outsiders.
If you don't believe me, just ask those who do small business, and nine out of ten will tell you with a sad face that business is not good, and they can't make a lot of money all year round!
In less than five minutes, the two large baskets of vegetables were snatched up by these vendors, leaving two empty baskets alone on the ground crying sadly.
"Big brother, hurry up and weigh it, right?" The person who was the first in the crowd to make a move, and the person who grabbed the most greeted Wang Hai with a proud face, so that he could pay the money and leave.
"It's coming, it's coming! Brother Biaozi, wait a minute! Wang Hai said hello to Biaozi with a smile on his face, and hurriedly walked over and picked up the old rod scale to weigh everyone.
Every time, the scale pole is raised high, attracting unanimous praise from everyone. are all veterans in this industry, and when I look at Wang Hai's facial expressions, I know that this is all real, and there is no fake at all. It's not like my own scale, looking at the scale pole hit high, only I don't know how many there are.
After weighing and collecting money one by one, the crowd dispersed, leaving Wang Hai, who was full of large and small banknotes in his pocket, and kept laughing.
He didn't graduate from elementary school, and he roughly calculated that it was hundreds of yuan! Now he is eager to hurry home and share the joy of this success with his daughter-in-law.
However, Wang Hai, who was going to take Biaozi to see his own greenhouse, did not forget a very important thing, that is, cutting meat!
Wang Hai, who has money in his hand and will be richer in the future, did not skimp this time, and directly took out a big unity. This thing can be said to be a big ticket that can be seen in the countryside today, and as for fifty and one hundred, no one will have such a large denomination at home.
On this day in the winter of '92, Wang Hai has never forgotten it. The first time he had a heavy hemorrhage, he spent more than 20 yuan to purchase a large grass carp of more than three catties, a catty of pure lean meat, and more than three catties of pork belly in the season when it was not the New Year.
When buying meat, the meat stall owner boldly took out five or six big stick bones from under the stall board and gave them to Wang Hai because he had just grabbed a lot of fresh vegetables from Wang Hai.
In this era, no one eats this thing in the countryside, not to mention not much meat, and it is still dead and heavy, even if the price is cheap, few people buy it, and most of it is digested by the stall owners themselves.
Kicked on his sophomore in high spirits, said hello to Biaozi who refused to go home with him to see the greenhouse now, and made an appointment to wait for him to go home to see the greenhouse after the market dispersed in the afternoon, Wang Hai rode home excitedly to report the good news.
