Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sold for a Lot of Money
This sentence is Yu Ziqian's true words, and indeed as he said, if he is really sorry for Yuan Wenjun, he is really a beast.
Yuan Wenjun was very satisfied and was in a very good mood when he listened to these words.
It takes two hours to ride a bicycle to the county seat, and no one can stand it all the time, so every other distance they will stop and walk a few steps to rest and rest.
There are not many cars on the road, but as long as you pass a car, it will be like experiencing a sandstorm, and you can see yellow smoke billowing and dusting from a distance.
When the car passes, you just feel like you're covered in dust.
It's really uncomfortable, but I can only cover my nose and endure it in order to go to the city.
Yu Ziqian was a little distressed Yu Younan waited until the car passed and the dust was less before he said: "I don't know when we will build the road here, I saw other places when I went out to do small work with the people on the team last time, and I don't know how easy the asphalt road is to walk, and I also saw the cement road." ”
Yu Younan remembered that it seemed that the road in front of them began to be built into an asphalt road in ninety-seven years, but now it is only ninety-three years and it is still early, but people always need hope to live.
comforted: "It will definitely be built, you see that the news is not saying that the development of the motherland is very fast now, we eat the only road from the provincial capital to the county here, and we will definitely take this road when it is built in the future, and we will wait until we wait." ”
Yu Ziqian really felt that Yu Younan was very sensible now, and said with a smile: "You girl is very sensible now, let's wait slowly, I believe we will wait, as long as we can wait in the future, we can also live a good life." ”
"If you want to get rich, build roads" was the last time he saw a slogan written on the walls of other people's homes.
Finally arrived at the county seat, Yu, the young man only felt that his legs were very painful.
At this time, the county seat was really bad, the only thing I could see was only three or four tall buildings, and even the main street was full of tiled houses, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were also potholed and uneven, and the narrow streets were crowded with people.
Yu Ziqian is most worried that Yu Younan will be lost when the time comes.
As he walked, he advised: "Young boy, you pull your father's bicycle well, there are many people on this street, just wait until you get past this part of the road, you must not let go." ”
There were people on the street, and Yu Younan herself was also worried that she would be squeezed out when the time came, she could find her way home, but she was afraid that Yu Ziqian would worry.
The young man who was pulling the bicycle tightly squeezed the crowd forward, and there were indeed a lot of people on the street, and it was really easy to be squeezed away if he was not careful.
Yu Ziqian took Yu Younan directly to the vegetable market, Yu Younan already felt very crowded when he was on the street just now, but he didn't expect to see people coming and going in the vegetable market after arriving at the material market, and he felt even more crowded.
"Daddy, why are there so many people in the market?"
She thought that there are not many people in the county now, and there are too many people in this vegetable market now.
Yu Ziqian hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, explaining: "There is only this one vegetable market in the county, you say that there are not many people, and there are also vegetable sellers, and some people who need to do things at home will also come to the city to buy vegetables, so you see so many people, you follow me, I will take you to sell yellow eels." ”
Yu Younan finally walked with Yu Ziqian to the place where yellow eels and fish were sold, and saw that the boss was talking about business.
As soon as he saw Yu Ziqian coming, the boss became enthusiastic: "How much did you bring today?" ”
Yesterday, Yu Ziqian came here and talked a few more words to the boss, so now the boss is also enthusiastic, and he is also very easy-going in asking questions.
Yu Ziqian pulled the bicycle aside, then took the two iron buckets off the car and poured them into the wooden basin that the boss had prepared on the side: "Today is a lot more than yesterday, about thirty catties, you can calculate how much it is." ”
Last night, because it was poured into a wooden basin, not many died.
The boss rummaged through the rounds and picked out all the dead eels.
Then he and Yu Ziqian lifted the wooden basin to the top of the scale and weighed it.
"Thirty-nine catties, excluding the water and the weight of the wooden basin, is almost thirty-five catties in total."
The boss is also happy, after all, the interests are mutual, Yu Ziqian can make money, he can naturally make money.
Yu Younan counted on the side, and the remaining twenty-seven catties of yellow eel after removing Yu Hai's eight catties of yellow eels were all theirs, and there were also thirty-one yuan.
The boss looked at the dead eels on the ground: "I'll give you a whole number." ”
Then Ma Li lost the money to Yu Ziqian.
Yu Ziqian carefully counted it, then took off the bag on the bicycle and handed it to the boss.
"There are still two catties of bullfrogs here, and the price of bullfrogs should be more expensive."
The boss threw the sack on the scale and said, "I'll give you five yuan for more than two catties." ”
As he spoke, he counted five more yuan and handed it to Yu Ziqian.
Yu Ziqian was very happy in his heart, and today is a bumper harvest.
Yu Younan is also happy, and it is precisely because he is happy that he even smells the fishy smell here and feels a lot better.
Tie the iron bucket well, Yu Ziqian greeted the boss and left with Yu Younan.
"Young boy, what do you want to eat?"
Yu Ziqian saw that there were still fruit sellers in the market, but he wanted to buy fruit for Yu Younan.
It's just that what Yu Younan saw at a glance was the miscellaneous bones on the pork stall.
Although Yuan Qinghe's family is better than Yu's family, but life is still very bad, she has only eaten meat once in Yuan Qinghe's house in the past few days, and she has eaten two slices before much, and she has long wanted to dip some oil meat in her stomach.
Pointing to the miscellaneous bones on the pork stall, the young man said, "Dad, let's go and buy the miscellaneous bones." ”
As soon as he heard Yu Younan say that he wanted to buy miscellaneous bones, Yu Ziqian directly refused: "What to do with miscellaneous bones, is there anything delicious about miscellaneous bones, you don't know that there is no meat on the miscellaneous bones, what can you do when you buy it back, it is better to buy meat." ”
Yu Younan waved his hand again and again: "Dad, do you listen to me, I watched TV last time and said that the miscellaneous bones are very nutritious, and if you eat hard bones, you will buy that point, and then you will buy two pieces of dried sea and take them back to stew and eat, and it is good to drink soup without meat." ”
Seeing that Yu Younan insisted and spoke like this, Yu Ziqian sighed and pushed the bicycle towards the meat stall.
The business of the meat stall is not very good, after all, the living conditions are not very good now, and there are not many people who buy meat, compared to other stalls that buy vegetables or fruits.
Yu Ziqian pointed to a pile of miscellaneous bones on the meat stall with some disgust, and saw that there was no meat on the bones and didn't want to buy it, but when he lowered his head and touched Yu Younan's gaze, he sighed and asked, "How do you sell these miscellaneous bones?" ”
The boss looked at someone and asked the miscellaneous bones with some enthusiasm, this miscellaneous bones must not be easy to sell.
In fact, Yu Younan knew that at this time, everyone wanted to buy meat to eat if they had money, who would want to buy miscellaneous bones that did not have any meat at all, but in fact, what she liked was a few tube bones and crispy bones in the middle of the miscellaneous bones.
The boss was very enthusiastic, pointing to a pile of bones that were estimated to be five or six catties and said, "There are more than seven catties of bones here, if you want to take them all, just take them for two yuan." ”
Yu Ziqian directly shook his head and bargained: "Two yuan is too expensive, you quietly, you don't have any meat on it, if it's two yuan, it's better for me to cut half a catty of meat." ”
The boss was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Yu Younan also said: "It's the boss, although your bones are heavy but not valuable, you can sell them to us for a dollar, if you can, we will often buy your things in the future." ”
Yu Younan's words made the boss even more embarrassed.
Yu Ziqian didn't really want to buy it in the first place, thinking that he could sell a lot of bones without any meat for a dollar, it really didn't make much sense.
Now I see that the boss has been hesitant and wants to leave.
"Do you sell it or not, if the boss doesn't sell it, I'll leave, and the child just made a noise that I don't want to buy it at all, so it's better to cut two taels of meat and go back."
Yu Ziqian's reluctance was on his face, and he did not want to look like him, Yu Younan was happy in his heart, whether Yu Ziqian really didn't want it or fake it, in short, his expression was really in place.
What the boss thinks of now is that the time is not early, and the weather is too hot, if this bone can't be sold, it can only be given away or thrown away, it's a pity, how much can it be sold, sighed and said: "Forget it, look at the time, it's not early, you can take it for a dollar, next time you come to the city to buy meat, you must take care of my business." ”
The boss said seriously, as he put the bones in a sack.
Yu Ziqian saw that the boss's sack was a little dirty, and hurriedly said, "Give me the bones, I'll put them in a bucket and bring them back." ”
The boss went around the meat stall and put all the bones on the meat table in two buckets on the bicycle.
Yu Ziqian gave the money and couldn't help but say to Yu Younan: "If your mother sees us buying this useless bone and going back, she will have to make trouble again." ”
Yu Younan was in a very good mood, thinking of the delicious broth, he shook his head again and again: "My mother won't blame me, let's go, Dad, we still have something to do." ”
Took Yu Younan to the shop that he was optimistic about before, the shop is not on the main street but at a very important intersection, there are a lot of people coming and going, the store used to sell kerosene, so as soon as I walked into the shop, I asked a damp smell mixed with kerosene, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, who looks very thin and has a pair of shrewd eyes, looking at Yu Ziqian coming again, and hurriedly asked: "How about you went back yesterday to discuss with your family, is this shop rented or not?" I'm in a hurry to leave, if you don't rent it, I won't keep it for you, there are a lot of people asking about this store. ”
The boss is anxious to leave here to go to the field, and this shop is also her family, so she is in a hurry now.
Yu Ziqian thought of the results of the discussion with Yuan Qinghe and them last night, and said seriously: "I don't want to rent it." ”
