"If you don't want to come, just tell your grandmother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen Chuan buried his head in sorting out some scattered picks after the guests picked them, and the noisy market made his voice not very clear: "Your grandmother will definitely not ask you to accompany her." ”

Song Jia rolled his eyes, this action would make people look particularly obscene when it appeared on adults, but young people would make people feel cunning that was not annoying. With a kind of juvenile cunning, he said, "My grandmother must accompany me." ”

The old man at Song Jia's grandmother's house, a few kilometers away, sneezed again: "Ah, I'm afraid I'm a little cold." ”

Song Jia was a bit of a scoundrel, and he spoke quickly: "Anyway, I have to accompany my grandmother to buy vegetables, why don't I come to you to play in the future?" Anyway, two people should hurry up when selling vegetables. ”

In a sense, Chen Chuan didn't believe that he, the eldest young master from the city, had the patience and physical strength to complete this tedious, boring and tiring work. And such an attitude is also unabashedly manifested in his answer: "I'm afraid that you will feel annoyed in two days." ”

Then he paused, and another worry was fully manifested - Chen Chuan said: "You shouted that the price of vegetables is so high, aren't you afraid that no one will come to buy it?" ”

Song Jia touched his nose and completely ignored the facts - the second brother complained to Li Xia on the phone: "Jiajia called me to come back to play with him, but he went to buy vegetables with his grandmother." "It's not that I'm bored at home, and my brothers and sisters don't play with me." Then he smiled and continued: "The price of your vegetables is so small, others still think that your vegetables are not fresh and cannot be sold, and the morning market is expensive, but there are many people who buy more expensive food." ”

Chen Chuan smiled: "I can't see it, you still know a lot." ”

Song Jia was proud: "My mother taught me." She said that the expensive food bought at the morning market is not a loss, and the food is fresh. ”

After that, every morning my grandmother and Song Jia went to the market, my grandmother went to buy vegetables, and Song Jia went to help Chen Chuan sell vegetables.

Grandma said, "You are so sensible, and you know how to help your grandmother buy vegetables." ”

Song Jia said: "I was already sensible. Then he asked, "Grandma, how much is the price of today's food?" ”

"Twelve five."

"Oh, I'm asking about every dish."

Grandma wondered, "Why did you remember to ask this?" ”

Song Jia said: "School homework. ”

When I went home, my grandmother talked to my second brother, and the second brother smiled: "The teacher of Jiajia School is engaged in vegetable price statistics. ”

Grandma didn't understand, she really thought it was Song Jia's homework, so she asked every day, and she also asked about the vegetables she didn't buy.

During the Chinese New Year, my grandmother asked Song Jia: "Jiajia, why don't you ask the price of the dish?" ”

"Huh?" After the New Year, the school will start, and Chen Chuan will stop selling vegetables.

"Are your school homework done?"

"Oh, it's done."

Grandma praised Song Jia: "Jiajia is so well-behaved and knows how to do her homework." ”

Chen Chuan put down his pick and wiped his sweat.

The muscles in his shoulders were releasing lactic acid slowly and steadily, the nervous system was faithfully transmitting pain to the brain, and Chen Chuan felt the almost unbearable soreness and stiffness from his shoulder. Sweat soaked through the close-fitting autumn clothes, and when he was in a hurry, he only felt uncomfortably hot, but now he stopped, the clammy and cold fabric was clinging to his body, especially in this cold early morning vegetable market, Chen Chuan only felt uncomfortably cold.

All around was the glow of incandescent lights from the market ceiling, and it was still pitch black outside. But the vegetable market is no longer silent, accompanied by the boiling voices of people and the white air of people, people's faces are hidden in the steaming mist and cannot be seen clearly.

Winter brightens up late, and the scene at six o'clock in the morning still looks like night. Chen Chuan took out the water bottle from the pick, and didn't care that the water was freezing cold, unscrewed the cap and took a big sip.

Not far away, there is a vendor selling breakfast: "Xiaolongbaozi soybean milk fritters porridge......"

He smelled the aroma and swallowed involuntarily. I woke up too early in the morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast at all. Now that I am relaxed, my stomach is so empty that all I have left is the water I just drank it.

Fortunately, I brought something to eat. Chen Chuan took out his pocket from his clothes and peeled it off layer by layer, and the steamed buns inside were still hot. The people in the morning market gradually increased, and he finished eating in two bites, poured another sip of water, stood up and began to shout.

"Folded ear root, Chinese cabbage, freshly picked, fresh......"

It didn't take long for someone to come over and ask for the price, and he remembered what someone had said, so he straightened his chest: "Folded ears and roots are five pieces." ”

"Why are you selling it so expensive? Everyone else has a piece of three, and a piece of two. "The guests were a little hesitant to pick and choose.

"Look at my folded ear root, this leaf is so big, and it's so tender." Song Jia's voice sounded, and he squeezed out from Chen Chuan's side, his sideburns wet.

"That's too expensive."

"It's not expensive, you see, it's good, it's fresh." Song Jia smiled and grabbed a handful of folded ear roots to show the guests, and the vegetables with soil on the roots made the guests very satisfied, "Eh, if you want it, weigh a pound." ”

"You're so early today." Seeing off the guests, Chen Chuan squatted down to sort out his burden, and raised his head and asked, "Why did your grandmother come to buy vegetables so early?" ”

"Hehe," Song Jia smiled proudly, "Grandma went to a community event today, and their old women were going to dance, and they wrote a menu and called me to buy vegetables." ”

"Oh, then you go grocery shopping first." Chen Chuan said softly, "If it's late, the food won't be fresh." ”

"It's fine." Song Jiaman shook his head indifferently, "I only bought a little vegetables, but yesterday my aunt sent a lot of vegetables home." ”

Chen Chuan looked at Song Jia with some suspicion: "Then why do you have to buy vegetables today?" ”

"Yesterday it was all meat, ribs and stuff, no vegetables." Song Jia was in a hurry, "So I'm going to buy some more today." ”

"Oh." Chen Chuan heard and drove Song Jia out: "You go to buy vegetables first, and then come over after you buy them." ”

Song Jia glanced at Chen Chuan very unhappily. "I won't." He simply said.

"What?" Chen Chuan was busy dealing with the grocery buyers, so he took the time to turn around and ask him.

"I don't buy groceries." Song Jia said angrily.

Chen Chuan glanced at him, he was busy now, and decided not to bother with him for now.

"Which one are you coaxing?" Chen Chuan said with a straight face: "You are so good at saying that you still don't know how to buy vegetables?" ”

Song Jia glanced at him and muttered.

"What?" Chen Chuan didn't hear clearly.

"I don't know scales."

Chen Chuan looked at him in disbelief: "I don't believe it!" ”

"Really." Song Jia confessed, "Except for electronic scales, I don't know other scales." ”

"And the scales."

"There are a lot of vegetable sellers who use scales, right?" Song Jia asked angrily.

This time it was Chen Chuan's turn to be speechless.

Most of the vegetable vendors in the vegetable section use small scales, or more old-fashioned wooden scales, and it is indeed a torture for Song Jia, who has lived in the city since he was a child and obtains most of his daily necessities from supermarkets, to have him count those grids to calculate the weight.

"What then?" Chen Chuan asked Song Jia.

Song Jia blinked, and after a while, he made a decision, and the young man hesitated to speak: "Why don't you buy it with me?" ”

It seems that this is the only way.

Chen Chuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you have to wait for me to finish selling the vegetables first?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Song Jia waved his hand.

"Eh, how do you sell Chinese cabbage?" Without waiting for Chen Chuan to object, another vegetable seller came, Song Jia stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Fresh is very fresh, three pieces of one." ”

"It's cheaper."

"You can ask for yourself, it doesn't get cheaper than this."

Song Jia must come to Chen Chuan every day to report here. The surrounding vegetable sellers slowly became familiar with him, his personality was ingenious and his mouth was sweet, and his uncle and aunt shouted all over again, and there was no one who didn't like him. Although he helps Chen Chuan sell vegetables, but when guests go to other houses to buy vegetables, he also has to help the boss, boys who can speak well often say business in a few words, and a few days of kung fu vendors see him from afar and greet him: "Song Jia, Chen Chuan is here." ”

The uncle who sold cauliflower next to him stood up and said, "Chinese cabbage is cheap for three a piece, and now the morning market is more expensive than usual." ”

"It looks okay, but you want it. Weigh two pounds. The grocery shopping aunt signaled that she wanted it.

The uncle who sent the guest away asked Song Jia: "Song Jia, do you want to buy vegetables?" ”

"Song Jia helped him buy groceries at home." Before Song Jia could speak, Chen Chuan said: "Uncle Li, you tell Zhou Xian and them, is it okay to leave some food, Song Jia will get it later." ”

"Yes." Uncle Li smiled and said, "It's a little thing. He turned around and raised his voice and shouted: "Leave some food, Song Jia will get some food every other while!" ”

The surrounding vendors giggled and replied, "Hear it! "Song Jia, come over and get it yourself later!" "Song Jia, do you still want cowpeas?" "Song Jia, I'll leave you a few eggplants!"

Song Jia and Chen Chuan hurriedly thanked each other.

Song Jia later told Chen Chuan that it was his most impressive grocery shopping.

Each vegetable seller left the best and freshest parts, and Song Jia couldn't help but buy a lot of them in the end, carrying two full bags.

On this day, Chen Chuan finished selling vegetables and said to Song Jia: "I won't come tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Song Jia was stunned, he wiped his sweat, and asked in a daze, "Why?" ”

"Hey, it's the New Year." Chen Chuan looked at Song Jia and smiled: "Have you forgotten?" ”

"yes, it's twenty-seven today." Song Jia was startled when he counted the time, "It's about to be the New Year?" ”

"That's right," Chen Chuan pulled out two heavy bags from the basket behind him, "You take this back." ”

"What is it?" Song Jia reached out curiously and touched it, it was round, and he guessed, "Is it an egg?" ”

"One bag is, and another bag is a piece of bacon and a few sausages." Chen Chuan was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't think of anything else he could give Song Jia.

Song Jia shook his head. "I don't want it." He said resolutely, "Eggs are so expensive now." Sausage bacon is also expensive. ”

Chen Chuan's face changed, "Do you think it's very dirty?" ”

"!" Song Jia knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Chen Chuan's expression, the young man rolled his eyes, and counted some overly honest companions with hatred: "These things can be sold for hundreds of yuan now!" ”

"I know, but these are for you." Chen Chuan stared at Song Jia.

"Why are you so stupid!" Song Jia was heartbroken, "It's the end of the year soon!" You're not in business! ”

"This is for you, I'll sell the shovel for money!" Chen Chuan was angry and blurted out foul words that he never said: "If you don't take me, throw me into the river!" ”

Song Jia was taken aback, he knew that Chen Chuan was true to his word, "Okay, okay, I'll take it back." But he began to worry again, "What should I say when I take it back?" ”

"You just said that your classmates brought you New Year's goods!"

"Which one takes so many New Year's goods!" Song Jia pointed to the pile of things, he was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, "At least ten catties of eggs!" Add up sausages and bacon without twenty pounds, I write the name upside down! ”

"Oh, I don't care, you can get it back for me anyway." Chen Chuan can also be very unreasonable when necessary, he brutally stuffed things into Song Jia's arms, stared at him and said word by word: "I tell the truth, if you don't want it, I will throw it into the river." ”
