Chapter 7: Misconduct

When it comes to familiarity with Qingniu Town, coriander is not as good as coriander.

During the years that Lin Sihai was working abroad, the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of coriander, who would bring the family's surplus grain and fresh vegetables to Qingniu Town every year to sell for money, and knew the specific location of the farmers' market in Qingniu Town, so he took coriander there.

The farmers' market is built along the main road and is easily accessible. Around the radius, there are fewer houses and more shops. There is a lot of traffic here, and the courtyard is lively.

To set up a stall in a farmer's market, the merchant has to pay rent to the farmer's market supervisor. In the past, many hawkers were opportunistic and placed their stalls outside the farmers' market, which affected the business in the farmers' market, and was eliminated. Later, there was a clear stipulation that vendors were strictly prohibited from setting up stalls outside the farmers' market, and if there were violators, once they were found, they would be severely punished.

There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below. Fearing severe penalties, many vendors set up stalls on both sides of the road leading to the farmer's market.

Of course, these stalls are not available for free -

The city is one, most of the houses and shops in this vicinity, and if you set up a stall in front of people's homes, you will block people's doors and businesses. If you still want to continue to set up a stall here and do business, people will ask you for rent, and you can't refuse to give it. However, the rent outside is much cheaper than the one inside the farmer's market.

A fellow villager of the Lin family's brothers and sisters, a few years older than Lin Sihai, in terms of seniority, they should call that person uncle. The uncle opened a grocery store on the side street near the farmer's market, and Coriander remembered the place, so he brought coriander to the door and pleaded. The other party promised to lend the vacant land at the door of the shop to their brother and sister.

Coriander didn't take advantage of other people's places in vain, and stuffed two packets of pickles and some salted dried fish to the other party to express gratitude.

Seeing that the Lin family brothers and sisters were so interested, the elder was in a good mood, and immediately borrowed an empty table for them.

Coriander and coriander carried the table to the door of the grocery store and set it up, and the brother and sister took out the pickles and dried salted fish from their bags and put them on the table.

Dried salted fish are sold in bundles, each bundle has about 20 salted fish in size, a total of four bundles, and the price is 30 copper yuan a bundle.

There are also six packets of pickles pickled by coriander, two packets of pickled cucumbers, two packets of lettuce, and two packets of eight-treasure vegetables with sauce, priced at ten copper yuan a pack.

There are also two cans of chili sauce fried with diced chicken and red spicy skin, fifteen copper yuan a can.

Together, these things don't sell for a silver dollar, but they are more or less a sum of money.

Half an hour passed, and no one cared about the stalls on the Lin family's side of the brothers and sisters.

Coriander probably knows the reason for the dismal business.

People in small places will live, they don't pay much attention to food, just eat and dress warmly, and most people would rather save money in their hands to get moldy than dig out, everyone is a miser. Pickles and dried salted fish are not expensive, and they can be made with ingredients from the fields at home, so why go out and buy them?

People who have never tasted the craft of coriander may think the same way. But these things made by coriander are all concocted by modern methods. She was originally a picky person, and she was very willing to add ingredients to her meals, so the taste of these things she made was very different from what ordinary people made.

There are still two and a half hours until seven o'clock in the evening, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that by seven o'clock tomorrow evening, they will not be able to sell these things in their hands.

Coriander couldn't stop looking at the sky.

The warm winter sun was getting lower and lower, and he was getting more and more anxious.

Afraid of delaying the time to get on the ship, he said to the coriander with some urging taste: "Otherwise, forget it, let's take things to the Shanghai market to sell."

"What are you anxious about, it's still early!"

Everything is laid out, if it is not sold, coriander is really unwilling.

Before she came out, she didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find a market for pickled products in this place.

Coriander thought about it for a while, and thought of a way to try it. So she said to the coriander, "Brother, you break half of my baked bread and put it on the table." ”

Coriander didn't understand what she was trying to do, but she did it anyway.

Coriander tore a palm-sized lotus leaf, picked up an open jar of chili sauce and poured some on top of the lotus leaf, and then covered the jar of chili sauce again.

After doing this, she cleared her throat and shouted, "Don't miss it when you pass by, come and taste the chili sauce and pickles we make at home, it's not delicious, you don't need money-"

Coriander was unwilling to let her work alone, so she learned that she also rushed to sell it to passers-by.

At first, a few people were attracted by the shouting, and when they passed by the stall, they stopped to look, but after two glances, they turned around and left.

Finally, someone came and went to the booth of the Lin family brothers and sisters to ask, "I heard you say that it doesn't cost money if it's not delicious, so let me taste whether your food is good or not." ”

This man has a smooth face, he is still neatly dressed, and his hair is neatly cleaned up with hair oil, but when he smiles, he shows a mouth full of big yellow teeth, which makes people not like it.

Despite the bad first impression of the man, Coriander tore him a small piece of pancake, dipped it in some chili sauce, and handed him the piece of pancake with the sauce.

Big Yellow Fang only tasted it, as if he had eaten a delicious taste in the world, and suddenly stared at him with satisfaction and made a sound from his throat.

Ignoring the increasingly ugly faces of others, he grabbed the remaining piece of pancake on the table, smeared all the chili sauce on the lotus leaf on the pancake, and then feasted on it without any food.

Before he could swallow a mouthful of the cake dipping sauce, he was still not satisfied, and he was about to start with a lotus leaf bag.

Coriander hurriedly stopped him, and his displeasure overflowed, "Why are you like this, do you buy it or not?" ”

Reluctantly swallowing the last bite of something in his mouth, Big Yellow Tooth spoke vaguely, and his attitude was particularly reasonable, "Hey, if you eat a bite of your food, you have to pull me to spend money to buy it, but you don't want money if it doesn't taste good!" ”

Coriander was annoyed, "It's not delicious, you still eat so much, you are unreasonable, we take these things out to sell, but we don't let you eat them for nothing!" ”

Big Yellow Tooth made a loud noise, "If you're not so generous, don't take out these unpalatable things and sell them!" ”

His voice attracted a lot of passers-by who watched the excitement.

Coriander blushed and had a thick neck, came up with brute strength, and slapped away the hand that still grabbed the lotus leaf bag with the big yellow teeth. He picked up the lotus leaf fragment, pointed to the remaining traces of chili sauce on it, and accused Big Yellow Tooth of evil deeds, "Since you said that our food is unpalatable, most of the bread and chili sauce can be eaten in one go, and since it is unpalatable, you still eat so much!" ”

Fighting the tiger brothers and sisters, Coriander chose to fight side by side with Coriander, deliberately dragging out the long voice and taunting the big yellow teeth, "Oh-I know, you want to eat overlord food here with us, I see you are like a dog, and you actually do such a lack of morality!" ”

In the face of two sharp mouths, the big yellow tooth was poor, and he wanted to smash the stall and was afraid of being chased by others to compensate according to the price, so his eyes rolled, and he came up with an idea, and shouted in place unreasonably, "Listen to me, the things they sell are unpalatable, don't buy their things!" ”

This big yellow fang shamelessly wants to ruin their business!

God opens his eyes, and evil is rewarded.

Big Yellow Tooth didn't swallow the thing in his mouth, so he tore open the broken gong and shouted in the crowd of onlookers, and as soon as he finished drinking, he choked.

An unchewed piece of pancake was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it. His airway was blocked, and he couldn't breathe, and he saw that his face was getting redder and redder, and he couldn't make a sound with his hands around his neck.

His eyes widened and his blisters protruded from his sockets, and the green tendons on his forehead and neck appeared, trying to grab someone for help. When everyone saw him like this, they all avoided him, and they avoided him.

If this man is choked to death, there is one less scourge in this world. But if he really chokes to death, it will be a big incident, and it will be a human life!

Without glorifying, Coriander quickly stepped forward, stood behind the big yellow fang, held his arm, and raised her hand to push him on the back.

There was a blow to the back, and Big Yellow Fang felt a stream of air in his body rush to his throat, and his mouth opened wide, spitting out a lump of slimy dirt.

It was coriander who exerted force on him, saving Big Yellow Tooth's life at a critical time.

An old man in the crowd, seeing that the coriander repaid his grievances with virtue, bowed his head again and again, and his smiling eyes were full of appreciation.

Big Yellow Tooth staggered a few steps to stand firm, his flushed face eased slightly, he turned to look at the Lin family brothers and sisters, instead of showing the slightest gratitude, he pointed at them angrily, and shouted angrily with all his might, "You actually hurt me!" ”

"It's you who want to eat the overlord food, but we didn't force things into your mouth!" Coriander countered his army.

Big Yellow Fang knew that he was wrong, and once again incited the crowd, shouting and shouting, "Everyone has seen it, I almost died at their hands!" ”

Is it harm or rescue, the big guy can see it clearly, does Big Yellow Fang think that everyone is blind and blinded by lard?

Many people around pointed at Big Yellow Tooth and talked about it.

"This person is really shameless, he ate overlord food, people didn't care about him, and he saved him, he didn't say a word of thanks, and even beat him up and said that people were trying to harm him!"

"The show is still to come, I think his posture is to blackmail other people's money!"

"He is greedy and causes trouble, this kind of person shouldn't save him, he should be choked to death!"

"If it were me, I would have watched him choke to death, and I wouldn't have saved him!"

……

No one said that the Lin brothers and sisters were at fault, but they all accused Big Yellow Tooth of misconduct.

For a while, the big yellow tooth became the focus of everyone, surrounded by strange eyes, which was really not a taste. He lowered his head in a hurry, blushing, but unfortunately there was no crack in the ground for him to drill, and if he didn't choke to death today, I was afraid that he would have no bones left in the spittle of one person next.

"Get out of the way—" Big Yellow Fang said in a rough voice, lined up the crowd, made a way for himself, and ran away without a trace with his tail between his legs.

At the end of the play, people dispersed, but an old man did not disperse with the crowd, but took a young man to crowd to the stall of the Lin family brothers and sisters.

The old man was dressed in retro clothes, wearing a black and gold cotton shirt, covering his upper body with a red copper horse coat and cotton jacket, wearing a certain black round hat on his head, and the folds at the corners of his eyes were particularly obvious when he smiled, but the person looked very kind, probably because he was very cold, and also wore a pair of gray rabbit fur ear protectors.

His outfit is low-key but luxurious, and he is a real rich and noble family.

The old man looked at the few things on display in the stall of the Lin family brothers and sisters, and asked, "Girl, what are you selling?"

Coriander holds her frozen red hand under her armpit to keep warm, and the tip of her small nose is also red.

The later it gets and the colder the climate, I'm afraid it's going to snow tonight.

Coriander replied to the old man's words, "This is our family's own chili sauce, pickles, and salted dried fish." Uncle is going to take a boat tonight, and it is good to buy some things from me as a souvenir for relatives and friends. ”

The old man was slightly startled, raised his face, and asked with some curiosity, "Girl, how do you know that I am going to take a boat?"

Coriander smiled slightly, "I don't think your accent is a local, I should have come down from the north." As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the young man who looked like he was following behind the old man, "I see that he is with you, and with his luggage, as if he is going to go far away." There are many wharves in Qingniu Town, but there is no train station, don't you just want to leave by boat! ”

The old man nodded with a smile, although he didn't say anything in words, but he was thinking in his heart: this girl is not only virtuous, but also perceptive and nuanced, so intelligent, if she is not on the right path in the future, I am afraid that she will harm one party......

The old man didn't say much, grabbed a lotus leaf bag and sniffed it lightly in front of his nose, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He couldn't hold back his excitement, and sniffed the smell of several other lotus leaf buns one after another, with surprise and admiration in his eyes.

Seeing that there was a play, Coriander hurriedly said: "Uncle, these pickles are all made by my sister, but they are ready, I don't believe you can taste them!"

The old man put down the lotus leaf bag, smiled and waved his hand at the coriander, and then said, "I want all these things, you can pick them up for me!"

Coriander was stunned for a long time as if she was in a dream, and after reacting, she looked at each other and smiled at coriander in surprise.

I never dreamed that they would sell out all of these things at once!

The other party was obviously a generous person, and after asking the total price, he gave the Lin brothers and sisters a silver dollar and said that they didn't need to look for it, and then left with the things that the coriander had packed for him.

On the way, the young man behind the old man was holding a suitcase in his left hand, and his right hand was holding the burden laid by the Lin family brothers and sisters. These things are placed in our Rongji, and they can't be put on the table at all! ”

The old man who was called "Fu Bo" smiled and said: "I see that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and when I get on the boat, I will open a package for you to taste, I'm afraid that when the time comes, not only will you not say such a thing, but also ask me to give you more to eat!"

Young people were unimpressed......
