The next morning, before dawn I got up, I put on wearable and warm clothes, simply cleaned up, ate a little boiled noodles, and I hurried out.

It's late autumn now, and the weather is quite cold in the early morning, and I still feel a little cold in my velvet jacket because the bus hasn't come yet, so I have to walk forward. The wind blew my hair away, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

Going to the vegetable station to load the goods is the most crucial step in the process of doing business.

When I used to be in the village, I once heard from a neighbor in our village about loading goods here, and his family all worked in the city, and during the Chinese New Year, he would wholesale a few boxes of fruit from the vegetable station and return to the village.

At the end of the eighties, fruit production was still very low, so buying fruit was an expensive consumption for the average family.

A neighbor once said that the vegetable station is very chaotic, and any kind of situation will happen.

Some merchants will deliberately spoil, the first layer of the box looks good, but the bottom is all mixed with bad or small inferior fruit, and there are also sand and stones under the box to increase the weight, if you buy such fruit and go home to calculate, it may be better to buy it directly in the market. So pay extra attention.

I asked, "In that case, why don't you settle accounts with them?" ”

The neighbor smiled: "How mobile are these merchants, the people you went to see today may not be there next time, not to mention how powerful those people are, even if they buy bad things, they generally endure it, and no one dares to settle accounts with him." Otherwise, if those guys find a place where no one is there and catch you and beat you up, the little money you have to come back will not be enough for medical expenses. ”

I was surprised: "No one cares?" ”

"It's too messy, I can't control it, anyway, you have to be careful when you go to buy it."

After listening to his introduction, I have generally had a preliminary understanding of the vegetable station, where there are law-abiding people, adulterated people, forced buyers and sellers, and stealing and slandering people, fighting and fighting, which is the most chaotic place.

As I walked, I thought to myself, if I could buy something good, then at least I could guarantee that I wouldn't lose money, but if something went wrong when I bought the goods, there was a chance that this transaction would be troublesome, and I had to find a way to make up for the loss.

Therefore, you can't buy things from one house, so it's more practical to ask who sells the goods.

I walked for almost an hour to get to the vegetable station. At this time, the sky has been bright, there is already a sea of people, the doors of each large warehouse have been completely opened, there are hundreds of warehouse eyes here, each warehouse is placed outside a variety of samples, which are full of dense fruit and vegetable boxes.

The sellers, all dressed in heavy cotton clothes, stood there shouting, with a large scale beside them.

The front of each warehouse is crowded with people, who chooses vegetables or fruits and puts them on the scale, and directly gives money and leaves, the basic time will not exceed one minute, if it is too grinding, no one will pay attention to you at all.

The courtyard was crowded with people, and the small merchants and vendors who bought goods, those who used tricycles and flatbed carts to pull their feet, the old farmers who drove the vegetables in horse-drawn carts, and those who mixed in to sell breakfast, and those who sneaked in and stole inside, were all crowded together.

The ground was littered with cardboard boxes, food scraps, rotten fruits, tattered vegetable leaves, and there was a strange smell in the air, and I saw a big persimmon rolling over from somewhere, and it was quickly trampled on.

No matter who I do, when I communicate, I have to rely on constant shouting, which makes my ears buzz, otherwise there is no way to communicate at all, and in an instant I suddenly went to another world, and I couldn't react for a while.

Countless large trucks came and went in a hurry, and all kinds of vegetables, fruits, sugarcane, and all kinds of dry goods brought from other places were piled up in the large trucks, which were quickly transported in.

The driver of the car kept honking his horn to remind pedestrians to give way, and the sound was very harsh.

At this time, a car transporting cabbage drove in behind him, and someone happened to be squatting on the ground to move goods, and he didn't notice the situation behind him, so the driver stuck his head out and scolded: "Damn, do you have long eyes?" Do you want to die, hurry up and make way for me! ”

The people underground also pointed at him and cursed: "You turtle son! You press me to try! I don't believe it, can you crush me? ”

"Old Wang Ba, I'll kill you right now, let you die early!"

"Okay, Lao Tzu will lie in front of you now, if you have the ability, you will crush me to death, and if you don't bump into you, you will be my grandson!" The man pointed at the driver and glared at him.

His wife yelled and scolded the driver and pulled her husband aside.

The driver drove the car over while scolding.

Behind them, there were people scolding each other because they stepped on their feet, and some people suddenly quarreled and cursed each other loudly because there was a problem in settling accounts. Two more women didn't know why, rolling in a pile of cabbage and fighting each other, and the scene was hot.

Maybe it's because it's so hard, so everyone here is extremely short-tempered, and it's basically the kind that gets on fire. I stood there staring blankly at these people. In a short time, he was hit several times, and his shoulder hurt.

A big man pushed me aside with two boxes of fruit and shouted, "If you don't buy anything, stay and don't get in the way!" I don't know if I'm busy? ”

I just remembered that I hadn't bought what I wanted yet, and I had been watching it here for a long time.

I squeezed into the crowd, looked over one by one, and saw that half of the goods were sold quickly, I hadn't chosen it yet, and I began to get more and more anxious, what should I do if the good things were bought? I searched for a long time, only to find a stall selling hawthorn, looking at the sample of his hawthorn seems to be good, the size is okay, so I went to the boss to ask the price.

The boss was over there and people who couldn't understand the accounts of a few boxes of oranges, and was shouting in great annoyance: "Can you do it?" Can you figure it out, is it that the brain has been eaten by bugs, stupid as a pig! ”

The man who bought the oranges pointed at him and yelled, "Damn it, you don't understand it yourself and you're looking for me here?" ”

The two of them scolded each other, and they both took the notebook over there and recalculated.

I walked over and asked, "This hawthorn ......."

"One dollar and one pound, one box of twenty!" As soon as he turned around, he sprayed me with a foaming star in the face.

I said, "You don't know how to be called?" I don't think this small box is less than twenty pounds. ”

The boss lowered his head and scratched something with a pen over there: "The last fart is called, do you like to buy it or not!" How can I have time to pay attention to you? He said and slammed the notebook on the face of buying oranges: "Damn, did you miscalculate, I knew you had a problem!" ”

The one who bought the orange didn't speak, and he was still calculating with the notebook. Two more people came to buy apples, but they didn't think they were too expensive, so they didn't say a few words, so they started with him.

I couldn't, and I really couldn't wait for him to have a good word with me, so I had to take out a box of hawthorn from his warehouse and prepare to give money, because my change was all mixed together, so I counted a little slowly.

The man kept urging, "Hurry up! I've never seen you so slow to get the goods, can you get the money in advance next time? I don't even want to sell it to you! ”

"Oh, okay, I've got it." I hurriedly gave him the money. The boss took the money from my hand, grabbed an orange from his stall, and smashed it on the head of a middle-aged man in front of me.

"Paralyze, put my apple down for me!"

The man was hit in the back of the head, and with a bang, he fell directly to the ground, and more than a dozen big apples rolled out of his clothes.

It turned out that someone took advantage of the time when I gave him money to steal a lot of apples to leave, but he found out, and the middle-aged man ran away without looking back, leaving a place of apples.

The boss snatched the apple back, cursing and complaining that I was wasting his time by looking for money.

I said in my heart, he really sees and listens to all directions. I walked out with the hawthorn in my arms. After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a shout behind me: "You dare to steal Lao Tzu's hawthorn!" See if I don't kill you! ”

I was so shocked that I almost threw the hawthorn box on the ground, but I didn't steal anything!
