149. Selling fruits
Along the way, Liu Zhihao once again exerted his noisy skills, making Lin Zichen so noisy that he couldn't wait to knock him unconscious.
It's a pity that Liu Zhihao is a person with developed limbs and a simple mind, and he can't understand Lin Zichen's face at all, and he still chatters non-stop. In the end, Lin Zichen couldn't stand it and closed his eyes, and directly entered the space.
Shielding the perception of the outside world in the space, Lin Zichen's ideology floated around in the space very leisurely.
Calculating the time, Lin Zichen woke up at the moment when the car entered the station, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Zhihao's resentful face, Lin Zichen ignored it directly, got off the train and left the station.
And Liu Zhihao, who was following Lin Zichen, was stopped, and Lin Zichen, who was far away, didn't know what was going on, only vaguely heard the words "parents", so he understood that Liu Zhihao was known by his parents about the source city.
The people who got in the way left, Lin Zichen was completely relieved, she just thought of a big excuse to send Liu Zhihao away, but she didn't expect someone to invite Liu Zhihao away as soon as she got out of the car, it's really good, thank you Liu Zhihao's parents. If Lin Zichen knew that one day Liu Zhihao's mother would point at her nose and scold her in front of many classmates, would she feel that her gratitude was so ridiculous at this time?
After leaving the station, looking at the slightly old streets outside and the low bungalows on both sides of the road, Lin Zichen suddenly felt a sense of trance. In her previous life, she was still an ignorant girl who didn't know anything at this time, and she had an inexplicable yearning for the city like her age.
Shake your head and shake off the inexplicable thoughts in your mind. Lin Zichen asked some itinerant vendors outside the station where he wanted to go.
Looking at the tricycles coming and going on the street and the few old domestic cars, Lin Zichen thought about it and stopped a tricycle.
"Master, please send me to the nearest fruit and vegetable market."
"Oh, okay! Little girl, sit still. The tricycle master answered heartily, kicked his feet, and the tricycle slowly drove forward.
Source City is still in the initial stage of development. On the short road to the fruit and vegetable market, many roads are being widened.
"Little girl. There is a fruit and vegetable market in front of it, and this section of the road is difficult to pass under renovation, and it will take a long way to detour. The master stopped the car and pointed to an old building opposite and said to Lin Zichen.
"Thank you, master. I'll just walk over there myself. Lin Zichen paid for the car, got out of the car and walked across the renovated road to the vegetable and fruit market.
Lin Zichen was not in a hurry to sell his fruits and vegetables, but walked around the market and kept in mind the approximate prices of various fruits and vegetables. Then he stopped on the side of the road outside the market and thought about what to do next.
Looking at the sky, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. It's not yet rush hour, and there aren't a lot of people in the market.
Lin Zichen thought about it and decided to find a small hotel to solve the problem of sleeping tonight, and then come back to the market to occupy a place to sell vegetables and fruits.
Went around the market. Lin Zichen finally chose a small hotel. The hotel is not big, but it is close to the main road of people, and it is very convenient to escape for help in case of emergency. But the price is not low. It costs a dozen dollars for a night.
Looking at the single room with a shower room and a bathroom in front of him, Lin Zichen suddenly felt that the dozen yuan was not unjust.
Booked a room. Lin Zichen took the room key and came to the vegetable and fruit market again.
As the sun sets in the west, the flow of people in the fruit and vegetable market is gradually increasing. Some itinerant vendors are also coming here one after another, and it seems that they are all vegetable farmers on the outskirts of the city.
Lin Zichen bought a few empty baskets from a mobile vendor, found a no-man's corner and packed two or three baskets of vegetables that had been flooded in the space, and then another basket of oranges and apples.
It's late autumn, and there are more kinds of fruit in the market than usual, including apples and oranges at every fruit stall.
Lin Zichen found a corner and sat down, waiting for the first guest to come to the door.
In the market, there are more and more people.
Several vendors on Lin Zichen's side have already made several deals, and Lin Zichen's first customer has not yet appeared.
Lin Zichen was not in a hurry, he picked up the book that he had taken out of the space a long time ago and read it.
So there was a strange scene in a corner of the vegetable and fruit market, a pretty little girl holding a book and reading it with relish in the noisy vegetable market.
Passers-by looked at Lin Zichen curiously, but none of them stepped forward to ask about the price of vegetables and fruits.
Half an hour later, Lin Zichen finally ushered in his first guest.
"Little girl, how do you sell these oranges?"
"2 yuan a catty" Lin Zichen put down the book and replied lightly.
"It's so expensive! The other stalls are only 1 yuan a catty. The woman muttered.
Lin Zichen smiled and explained: "Auntie, you have also seen the appearance of my orange, which is not only big, but also very sweet, if you don't believe it, you can taste it." ”
Lin Zichen peeled off an orange and handed it to the woman, who reached out and took a piece and put it in her mouth.
"Hmm, it's really sweet!"
"Auntie, I'm right. Look at my oranges, the peels are crystal clear, just smelling makes people drool, where can you buy such good oranges? I bought my oranges, whether you eat them yourself or give them away, you don't suffer a loss, so these 2 pounds are really not expensive. Lin Zichen tried his best to sell his oranges.
The woman was moved, and took out the money from her bag: "Give me two catties." ”
"Oh, okay!" Lin Zichen picked up the bag and filled the woman with oranges, only to realize that she had made a fatal mistake after loading it, she did not bring a rod scale.
There was an old woman who was setting up a stall next to Lin Zichen, and when she saw this, she hurriedly handed over her rod and scale to Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen smiled gratefully, took the rod scale and weighed the woman two catties of oranges.
"Auntie, you can take a good look, it's two catties." Lin Zichen sent the upturned rod scale to the woman so that the woman could see it clearly.
The woman paid the money satisfied, and Lin Zichen handed the orange that had been peeled to the woman again: "Auntie." You are my first guest, so you can take this orange and eat it. ”
"Hehe, thank you little girl, if the family likes to eat your oranges, I will buy them tomorrow." The woman smiled and took the orange.
Lin Zichen said with a smile: "If Auntie's family really likes my oranges, they will come early tomorrow, because I will stay here until noon tomorrow." Whether or not he will come here in the future is still undecided. ”
The woman was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded in understanding.
Seeing off the first guest, Lin Zichen sat there quietly. And the surrounding itinerant vendors no longer stared at Lin Zichen as fiercely as they did at the beginning.
"Grandma, thank you for the rod scale. I'm definitely tired from sitting here for most of the day. Come and eat an orange to wake up. Lin Zichen returned the rod scale to the old woman, and gave a big orange by the way.
"Hey, little girl, no thanks. You sold this orange. Grandma doesn't want it. The old woman waved her hand, unwilling to accept the oranges sent by Lin Zichen.
"Grandma. This orange was originally grown and eaten by himself, but he only sold it when there were more of them. Besides, even an orange can't be sold for much money, and I'll borrow your rod and scale later, if you don't accept an orange. Wouldn't I be more upset? Lin Zichen said and stuffed the orange into the old woman's hand.
looked at the heavy oranges in his hands, and then looked at the baskets of vegetables and fruits in front of Lin Zichen. The old woman said no more.
People came to buy vegetables one after another, and many people saw the vegetables brought by Lin Zichen. is very vigorous, so he changed the stall he used to frequent, and bought it at Lin Zichen's side.
Lin Zichen can understand some of the careful thoughts of these housewives, the vegetables are sold with full scales, and when they see customers who are easy to talk, they will send one or two more vegetables, so that the women who come to buy vegetables will leave satisfied.
Seeing that Lin Zichen's business was so prosperous, the old woman couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at business at a young age." ”
Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the sweet potatoes on the woman's stall, and had a plan in his heart.
"Hey, little girl, bring me some cabbage." Another guest came to the door.
"Auntie, how many do you want?" Lin Zichen asked while bagging the Chinese cabbage.
"Two is enough, I just met a friend who said that your food here is good, so I came over to take a look."
Lin Zichen suddenly realized, and dared to love this as a repeat customer: "Auntie, you take it, a total of 3 yuan and five cents, you were introduced by a friend, I will accept you 3 yuan." ”
"Ouch, okay, thank you little girl." The young woman happily put the five cents she had taken out back into her bag.
Lin Zichen smiled and handed the bag to the young woman, and said, "Auntie, you can also take a look at these sweet potatoes, they are all home-grown, and they are absolutely delicious." ”
The young woman looked at the sweet potatoes on the old woman's stall and frowned, not wanting to buy them.
Lin Zichen continued to sell: "Auntie, don't dislike this sweet potato first, you see that this mud is soft and wet, which means that this sweet potato has just been pulled out of the ground and is fresh." ”
Lin Zichen said as he picked up a sweet potato and cleaned the soil on it: "Auntie, you definitely don't know the benefits of sweet potatoes. Let me tell you, sweet potatoes have many benefits! ”
Lin Zichen's mysterious words attracted the attention of the young woman and some passers-by, and the old woman wanted to stop Lin Zichen, but she had to sit there obediently when she saw this.
Lin Zichen saw that he had attracted everyone's attention, and continued with a smile: "Sweet potatoes are a good thing! Suitable for all ages, it aids digestion. Put it in the pot and steam it and you can eat it. Children are the most likely to digest poorly, steam a sweet potato for him, let him take a small spoon and dig to eat, how happy! Young people, especially girls, should eat more, what is the reason for girls' bad skin tone or acne? That's because there are too many toxins in the body, and eating more sweet potatoes can promote bowel peristalsis, facilitate stool, and discharge the toxins in the body, and the face will naturally be better. And the old man."
Lin Zichen talked about everything, and everyone who listened to her words was ready to move, and they all went to the old woman's stall to buy sweet potatoes, and the basket of sweet potatoes brought by the old woman bottomed out after a while. (To be continued)
