Chapter 07 Wet Market
In Zhao Qian's memory, Li Yuan never deceived himself. So since he said so, the girl didn't continue to dwell on this issue. The two chatted happily for a while, and Li Yuan left Zhao Qian's house.
However, Li Yuan did not perfunctory Zhao Qian, for him now, paying rent is no longer a matter.
After returning home, Li Yuan found a large flower pot, picked a few of the fullest ginseng seeds left, and planted them carefully. Then he expertly poured a gold bead from the peach pit, melted it in the water, and carefully poured it into the pot.
After doing all this, Li Yuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and muttered: "Huh, now I'll wait to get rich." ”
Although the ginseng seeds have been planted, Li Yuan has more important things to do. Now that he already knows that the peach pit is a treasure, of course he doesn't feel at ease to keep it at home, and feels that it is safest to carry it with him.
It also happened that not far from the sharp mouth of the peach pit with the gold beads, there was a small hole through, just enough for a thin wire rope to pass through. Li Yuan found a sturdy filament rope, spent some effort through the small hole, and then was able to hang the peach pit around his neck.
Li Yuan tried the firmness of the filament rope, and found that unless he tried very hard, he couldn't pull it at all, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "This time it's finally safe!" ”
Just when Li Yuan was tying the peach pit, the ginseng seeds planted germinated. Now Li Yuan can be completely sure that this is definitely the effect of the golden bead.
Unlike tomatoes, ginseng grows for a much longer time. Moreover, this time it was a golden bead to cultivate multiple ginseng trees, and Li Yuan did not know how long it would take.
However, Li Yuan, who has been accustomed to a hard life since he was a child, has no habit of wasting time. He didn't sit at home and wait for someone to grow up, but quickly turned his attention to the tomatoes in the yard.
"How can I eat all these tomatoes alone?" Li Yuan touched his chin and groaned: "It's better to pull it to the vegetable market tomorrow to sell, such a good thing will definitely be very popular, and making a piece is a piece!" ”
As long as Li Yuan makes a decision, he will immediately implement it. So he went to the yard and got busy and started picking tomatoes. Although there are only three tomatoes, the yield is amazing thanks to the effect of Jinzhu. Li Yuan was busy for nearly two hours before picking all the tomatoes and placing them neatly in the small courtyard.
Fortunately, the sun had already set by this time, and there was already a hint of coolness in the small courtyard, otherwise he would have been sweating profusely. But even so, Li Yuan was tired enough - his somewhat weak body once again protested.
Early the next morning, Li Yuan loaded the tomatoes onto a borrowed tricycle and rode hard to the nearest vegetable market.
In recent years, several residential communities have been built near urban villages, and residents of the communities come here to buy groceries. Early in the morning is the busiest time for the vegetable market, and there are many vendors who come to sell vegetables, and Li Yuan finally found a space where he can park his tricycle.
Li Yuan had just parked the car when a guy wearing a red armband came over. He glanced at the tomatoes in the car and said loudly to Li Yuan: "Management fee, fifty!" ”
Li Yuan frowned and said, "So expensive? ”
"It's too expensive, you can go, don't do business here!" The red armband sneered: "There is such a vegetable market nearby, the business here is so good, as soon as you leave this place, someone will rob it immediately, believe it or not?" ”
Li Yuan wanted to sell the tomatoes, but he didn't have the strength to get such a large cart of tomatoes away, so he had to pay obediently.
In fact, the red armband also saw through this, so it will charge a management fee of 50 when it opens its mouth. He triumphantly took the money from Li Yuan, but he didn't even give a receipt. He even took a tomato from the car and left satisfied.
When the red armband walked away, Li Yuan couldn't help but snort at this guy's back. For Li Yuan, who is struggling to survive at the bottom of society, he has seen a lot of this kind of person. is a typical imp who is difficult to deal with, relying on the power of sesame mung beans in his hands, he oppresses groups who are more vulnerable than them. And they will feel complacent and not ashamed of it.
However, at present, Li Yuan is also "under the eaves and has to bow his head", since he wants to go to the vegetable market to sell tomatoes, he can only suffer from this nest.
Li Yuan, who has always been optimistic, did not take this matter too seriously, but quickly erected a signboard prepared in advance. Speaking of signboards, it is actually a piece of cardboard, on which a few lines of words are written in red paint: American high-tech cultivated tomatoes landed in China for the first time, and they are by no means genetically modified, three pieces per catty!
Let's not talk about the content of the advertisement, just looking at these words is extraordinary. This is Li Yuan's regular script written with a brush, one stroke at a time, the bearing is rigorous, each word is very beautiful, and there is already a faint demeanor of everyone.
Li Yuan has such a good handwriting, all thanks to the supervision of his mother when he was a child and the teaching of Lao Liao when he was a little older. Thanks to them teaching Li Yuan from a young age, he was able to write so beautifully.
It's a pity that in this vegetable market, there are not many people who can appreciate calligraphy. Most aunts and aunts don't care about the words on the signboard, they just care about why Li Yuan's tomatoes are so expensive.
"Why are your tomatoes so expensive?" Not long after, an aunt came to the front of the three wheels, looked at the tomatoes in the car and frowned: "It looks good, but it can't be so expensive!" ”
It's summer, and it's the peak season for tomatoes. There are many stalls in the vegetable market that sell tomatoes, which is only a pound of money. Li Yuan's tomatoes are almost three times that of others, no wonder the aunt asks this.
"Auntie, you know the goods at a glance, let me tell you why this tomato is so expensive! Don't underestimate these tomatoes, they are new varieties cultivated by American high-tech companies...... Seeing the first customer come to the door, Li Yuan immediately introduced his tomatoes to his aunt with a smile on his face, and took out all the skills in the antique market.
Auntie has never seen this kind of formation, and she was soon stunned by Li Yuan. Later, I even felt that it was my luck to meet such a good high-tech tomato, and if I didn't buy a few catties to taste it, I would miss such a good opportunity in vain.
So the aunt was not ambiguous, and said to Li Yuan: "Young man, don't say anything else, give your aunt five catties!" ”
"Okay!" Li Yuanle responded happily, and after weighing five catties of tomatoes for his aunt with his hands and feet, he took two more and handed them to her: "You are my first customer, I will give you two more, how about you taste it!" ”
"Thank you, young man." The aunt happily took the tomatoes and was about to taste them, but stopped and asked Li Yuan: "Just eat like this, don't you need to wash them?" ”
Li Yuan casually picked up a tomato from the car, took a bite in front of his aunt and said: "These tomatoes are all organically grown, absolutely no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, auntie, you can eat with confidence." ”
Seeing that Li Yuan was so sure, the aunt didn't hesitate any longer, just took out a tissue and wiped it, and then bit it down. Just after the aunt bit it, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on her face.
