Chapter 91: Selling vegetables in the city

There are also two handfuls of water celery, and Du Juan decided to take the boutique route, so there are really not many vegetables to bring.

In fact, Du Juan also planted some cucumbers, but she hasn't reached the shelf yet. But cucumbers are Lin Aijun's favorite food, so she decided not to sell them and leave them for someone to eat in the future.

Spread a thick cotton mat on the bottom of the bamboo basket, put the wooden box containing the greens in it first, and then put the basket, spinach, and water celery. Cover it with a cotton pad again.

This is not enough, you must know that the temperature outside is nearly minus 20 degrees now, and if you don't take warm measures, Du Juan is afraid that the vegetables will be frozen before they are sold.

So, she wrapped an old quilt in the bamboo basket outside, tied it tightly with a rope, Du Juan took out the snowboard that Lin Aijun specially made for her, put on a hat and scarf, and she was ready to go.

"Hey, Xiaojuan, are you going out?" The fat sister-in-law was holding an empty bowl, and she wanted to come to Du Juan to ask for some sauerkraut.

Her family also pickled some sauerkraut, but her own Lao Yu now dislikes it, don't want it, saying that her pickled is not comparable to that of Du Juan, and she doesn't dare to burn her pickled sauerkraut anymore, so she sent it to her parents' house.

"I'm going to the city." Du Juan replied honestly.

"No, the snow is so thick outside, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, wait for Lin Zi to come back and let him accompany you." The fat sister-in-law didn't want sauerkraut, and began to persuade Du Juan bitterly.

Du Juan knew that the fat sister-in-law had good intentions, so she listened carefully without any temper, and there was a faint smile on her face, which made people know at a glance that she was a good and obedient child.

No, after the fat sister-in-law finished saying the words in her stomach, she felt that Du Juan should have dispelled the idea of going to the city, so she finally remembered the purpose of her coming here.

"You must not leave, you must wait for Lin Zi to come back and accompany you." Before leaving, she told her a thousand times, and the fat sister-in-law really regarded Du Juan as her own sister now.

The reason is simple, that is, today's fat sister-in-law is no longer worthy of the name, although her figure cannot be called slim, but at least she doesn't have to turn sideways when she enters the door.

"......" Du Juan didn't reply. Just smiled and listened. She is a trustworthy person, and she will definitely do what she promises others. Therefore, when the fat sister-in-law said a car, she just smiled slightly and didn't say a word back. In this way, she thought that she had not promised the fat sister-in-law anything, and it would not affect the matter of entering the city for a while.

The fat sister-in-law didn't know what Du Juan was thinking, she thought that the other party had listened to the persuasion, so she took a bowl of sauerkraut and went home to cook happily.

Take a long breath. Du Juan still had some palpitations. She was really afraid that the fat sister-in-law would impulsively agree to the other party after a few more words, and it would be her time to have a headache.

However, Du Juan didn't dare to go out this time. She first went to the outside of the hospital to check and found that the military wives were all warming up in the house with their children, and the fat sister-in-law who worried her the most was also nesting behind the stove hole to make a fire this time, and it was estimated that she would not come out again in a short time.

So she immediately put a bamboo basket on her back, took a snowboard and left.

The little soldier standing guard at the door kept looking at her with disapproving eyes, but Du Juan didn't take it seriously, just quickly disappeared into the white mountain forest.

But. Du Juan felt that when Lin Aijun came back, let him say hello to the guard battalion, and she would not be less in and out in the future, but she didn't want to keep people watching with blocking eyes.

The camp is about half a day's drive from the city, but Du Juan will not honestly walk along the winding road, she directly chooses to walk in a straight line.

Of course, straight lines are not so easy to walk, and you have to climb over several mountains. It was a real mountain with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and it was not a small mound.

But for Du Juan, isn't it as simple as climbing up and then rowing down!

Du Juan nested up. It took her only two hours to quickly paddle down one hill and another hill with the momentum, and when she reached the foot of the county seat.

"It's so cool!" Du Juan untied her scarf, her little face flushed. The tip of the nose is densely covered with beads of sweat.

After a pause, Du Juan continued to paddle forward slowly.

She still didn't take the right path, just along the main road, and only when she couldn't use the snowboard in front of her to move forward, Du Juan put away the snowboard and slowly entered the city that she only learned from Lin Aijun and the fat sister-in-law.

According to the two men, there are many factories in the city. Many things are produced and supplied to all parts of the country, so there are many people who come to this city to negotiate business or purchase, so there are also many corresponding guest houses and state-run hotels.

Du Juan analyzed from her hometown (in fact, she learned from Sun Guoqing) that it was more feasible for her dishes to be sold to state-run restaurants. Guest houses generally only entertain ordinary people, while state-run hotels have small rooms for entertaining distinguished guests, so the corresponding dishes need to be special.

Having decided where to market her vegetables, Du Juan no longer looked around. In her opinion, the current cities are almost the same, except for dilapidated, old, chaotic, narrow, etc., there is nothing that makes her eyes shine, so it is okay not to look at it.

"Hey, this is the Hongqi Hotel, I'm Jiang Dali." Jiang Dali was on the desk with a toothpick in his mouth, which was really wanton.

"Oh, you're Director Zou of the Red Star Machinery Factory, hello, hello."

"How many tables to order?"

"Oh, three tables, okay, okay."

"What, do you want more vegetables and less meat? But what else can I have here besides cabbage and potatoes? Wouldn't it be better to give them meat, why do they still like to eat vegetables? Where did these guys come from? ”

"Director Zou, let me tell you, I only have cabbage and potatoes here, do you love to come!" Jiang Dali hung up the phone vigorously and jumped three times on the phone.

"Who do you think you dare to order food on Lao Tzu's head!"

"Jingle bell" A crisp phone rang, Jiang Dali thought that Director Zou of the Red Star Machinery Factory was calling again, so he grabbed the phone without thinking about it and shouted, "I told you, Lao Tzu only has cabbage and potatoes here, if you want to eat, come, if you don't eat, leave!" ”

"Who are you? Who are you telling to go? ”

"Uh, Bai, Director Bai, it's you! Why are you free to call me? ”

"If I don't make this call, how do I know that Xiao Jiang, you are my son!"

"No, no, no, you are my Laozi, my Laozi!"

"I'm not as big a son as you." Director Bai snorted coldly, "Okay, I'm just here to inform you, you must entertain the guests of the Red Star Machinery Factory tomorrow." Whatever they ask, you can only meet them unconditionally. That's an order! ”

"Smack!"

"Huh? Feed? Feed? Director Bai, Director Bai ......" Jiang Dali shouted at the phone for a long time, but unfortunately the other party had already hung up, and it was useless for him to shout.

"Damn it. What's going on! Jiang vigorously slammed the earpiece, and the whole person slammed into the chair. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't find a place.

"Manager Jiang, Manager Jiang. Is your phone broken here, why is it busy? Wang Yongmin ran up panting and pushed the door in directly.

"Get out!" Jiang Dali grabbed the enamel teapot on the table and smashed it, fortunately Wang Yongmin hid quickly, otherwise he would have been smashed out of a big bag.

"Hurry in. Do you think you'll be fine when you hide outside the door? ”

"It's such a big fire, it's gunpowder." Wang Yongmin muttered and opened the door again, but this time he was honest and knew how to knock on the door first.

"Say, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's Director Zou from the Red Star Machinery Factory who called you, you have been busy, and he said he would call again later." After speaking, Wang Yongmin didn't wait for Jiang Dali to respond, and immediately flashed out.

"This thankless task in the future. He didn't scramble anymore. I thought I could show my face in front of the leader, but I didn't think about it, and I almost broke his appearance. ”

Jiang Dali didn't care what Wang Yongmin outside the door muttered to himself, he hung up the phone with a tangled face, and within a minute, the phone rang.

At this time, Jiang Dali also learned to be obedient, he grabbed the phone, that is, he did not introduce himself, nor did he make a sound. Just wait for the other person to speak first.

"Manager Jiang, Manager Jiang, is that you?"

"It's me!" After Jiang Dali heard that it was Director Zou's voice, he gritted his teeth!

"Vigorously. I know you're embarrassed, but you've figured out a way for us somewhat, and the people we came here this time really can't afford to offend! Director Zou was pragmatic and reasonable, and he said a lot of good things, and finally smoothed Jiang Dali's hair.

"Vegetables? Is it okay to have any vegetable? ”

"Except for cabbage potatoes. They have been eating these for the past few days, saying that they want to vomit. "What Director Zou said is called cautious, I'm really afraid that Jiang Dali will be angry again. At that time, did Director Bai really have to go on a trip to solve it himself, didn't it seem that he Zou Zhengshan was very incompetent?

"Some of them are good to eat, and they are picky. Such a person should be sent to the most bitter and tired place to see if he can eat or not. He complained in his mouth, but he Jiang Dali must ask about the things that should be asked.

Since Director Bai has given the order, then he Jiang Dali can only carry it out, and it must not be ambiguous.

Director Bai is the director of the Revolutionary Committee of R City, and the means of rectifying people are endless. And I heard that he has a lot of background, and those leaders in the city took a detour when they saw him.

But if you get into his eyes, then you can walk sideways in R City. Zou Zhengshan could ask Director Bai to call him personally, obviously there was something between the two.

He won't be an uncle just because Zou Zhengshan bowed his head and talked to him, that is a master who sees people and talks about ghosts, he still has a little temper, at least it is not easy to climb to the position of manager.

Therefore, when he talked to Zou Zhengshan next, Jiang Dali's attitude was much better.

"I want to eat green leafy vegetables, where can you let me get green leafy vegetables in the cold and snow." Jiang Dali's heart is congested, does he really have to roll up the bed and go home to eat himself.

"Are those people really that important?" Jiang Dali asked unrelentingly.

"Without them, the machine in our factory wouldn't be able to spin. The workers below are all waiting for production with their necks stretched, and if they don't start work, everyone will go hungry. ”

“…… I'll do my best! Jiang put down the phone weakly and sat down in his chair, "It seems that he really has to go home and eat himself." Alas! ”

And our Du Juan came to the door following the voice of green leafy vegetables, of course, she also knew that she couldn't directly stop anyone in the restaurant from saying that she had green leafy vegetables. So, after she entered the store, she first went to the window to order two dishes, asked for a bowl of rice, put the bamboo basket at her feet, and began to eat leisurely.

After about half an hour, Jiang Dali finally walked out of the office. He wanted to make a final effort, and if he hadn't gotten even a single leafy green vegetable by the time he had lunch to-morrow, he would have done his best.

Du Juan finished her meal slowly, and she was the only one left in the entire hall at this time. This is the perfect time, after all, buying and selling in private is not allowed, and it is to be accused of speculation. She didn't want to put herself in danger just to order vegetables.

Therefore, Du Juan put a bamboo basket on her back and planned to see where the comrade who said green leafy vegetables was, and she should just look for him.

"What's the matter, hurry up and leave after eating, don't look around!" Jiang vigorously chased Du Juan like a fly.

But Du Juan's eyes lit up, she really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

So she secretly took out a water celery from the bamboo basket and waved it at the man, and then the man was stupid, rubbing his eyes vigorously, with a look of disbelief.

"This comrade, comrade, you ...... Is this celery? Elder Jiang Dali was excited, he had to confirm what he had just seen, so he stared at the water celery in Du Juan's hand, and his eyes were green, because in addition to celery in his eyes, it was still celery.

"Water celery!" Du Juan put back the tender and green celery under Jiang Dali's unblinking gaze.

"This ...... That ......" Jiang rubbed his hands vigorously, not knowing how to speak.

"This comrade, can you please come in with me?" Jiang Dali suddenly thought that he couldn't trade with this comrade in front of the public, he was really careless just now.

Jiang Dali looked back and forth at the hall, very good, there is no one except the two of them, God bless,

And Du Juan also had this intention, so the two hit it off.

"Sit." Jiang Dali was very polite, pouring water, and serving melon seeds, that attitude was humble and gentle, and it was really like two people half an hour ago.

"Don't be so polite, let's get down to business first." Du Juan sat on the chair casually, that is, she did not take off her military coat or scarf, but her momentum was not weaker than Jiang Dali's.

"Refreshing!" Jiang Dali doesn't mind the other party's style, he knows that he needs to take risks when buying vegetables now, but what does this have to do with him, as long as he can buy green leafy vegetables from the other party smoothly and can help him solve tomorrow's problems, that is his benefactor.

Du Juan is not worried about the other party's regret afterwards, she has no ability, how can she come out and toss blindly.

"I have more than one variety of green leafy vegetables, and they are in absolutely excellent condition......

"The price is negotiable."

"It can continue to be provided in the future!"

"You say the price!"

"One piece." This is definitely a lion's mouth, but Du Juan thinks he will definitely agree.

(To be continued.) )
