Chapter Thirty-Eight: Selling Peaches
Two small and one big took the bus and went to the city. Fortunately, the driver and the conductor are all villagers and everyone knows each other, so there is no additional money for two baskets of peaches. The shuttle bus running in the countryside always starts and stops, and the conductor will keep saying: "Everyone is squeezing backwards, squeezing backwards." ”
Grandpa Lin took two children and picked up a load, so he chose to sit in the last row when he got on the bus at the beginning. It's just that Lin Shuang is prone to motion sickness, so the bus starts and stops, stops and stops, and Lin Shuang begins to regulate. Doudou pulled out a pack of tangerine peel from his pocket.
"Sister, eat some of this. My grandmother gave it to me. ”
Lin Shuang took a piece of tangerine peel from Doudou's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the sour taste of tangerine peel suddenly diluted a lot of motion sickness. It's just that the bus keeps stopping and stopping, and Lin Shuang has always felt very uncomfortable. Grandpa Lin said with experience: "If you faint badly, you can sleep for a while." When I fell asleep, I didn't feel anything. ”
Lin Shuangyi thought about it, so he began to close his eyes and fall asleep. But I didn't have to rely on the left and right, and my neck was so tired that I couldn't do it. Doudou patted his shoulder: "Sister, you lean on me." I have meat on my body, and it's comfortable to lean on! "Indeed, Doudou has a lot of meat on his body, all of which are fed by his family, and as the only third-generation heir of the Dou family, he is really a pet.
"Doudou, why did your grandmother let you out?" Lin Shuang suddenly wanted to talk to Doudou. Usually Doudou runs around the village, and the Dou family's grandmother sometimes doesn't worry about following up, why did she let Doudou go alone to sell peaches in the city this time?
Doudou swallowed his saliva, and Lin Shuang felt that Doudou was a little nervous. "Well, when I came out, I only told my grandmother that I was going to your house to play, and I didn't say that I would go to the city to sell peaches with you!" This time it was all right, Lin Shuang felt that he was not only dizzy, but also had a pain in his head. Grandpa Lin also heard Doudou's words.
"Wait a minute, you and both of you will have to follow me. Otherwise, if you lose it, you won't be able to get it back. Doudou nodded hurriedly.
Speaking of which, the village has lost a child once before. The lost child could not be recovered, the child's mother was blind from crying, and the child's father went out to look for the child every once in a while, but China is so big, how can it be found by one person to find the child. When it comes to the New Year's holidays, the family is always quiet.
Maybe it was the family that left too much impression on the people in the village, so the adults in the village looked at their children very closely, and it didn't matter if you ran around the village, as long as you made it clear where you went to play. But if you want to leave the village, that child must be accompanied by an adult to be reassured.
The Doudou family came back late, and it is estimated that they don't know about this matter, but this time, it is estimated that Grandpa Lin will communicate with the adults of his family.
finally arrived in the city, and after Lin Shuang got out of the car, he always felt that he was still in the car, shaking badly. So he grabbed Doudou, "I'm still dizzy, Doudou, you have to help me." "Uh-huh, got it!" Doudou nervously helped Lin Shuang to follow Grandpa Lin to the vegetable market.
People in the city have to go to work in a busy way, so most people are used to getting up early to catch the morning market, and after buying enough food for lunch and evening, they can save a lot of time. But there are also some elderly people who like to buy fresh vegetables for their families to eat, and they have time, so they like to buy a noon dish at 90 o'clock according to the time. Four or five o'clock to buy a dinner meal.
Although Lin Shuang and the others got up early, it was nearly nine o'clock when they arrived in the city. By the time I arrived outside the vegetable market and laid down the peaches, it was almost half past nine. "Grandpa, are we late?" Lin Shuang looked at the few vegetable buyers, and was afraid that there were not many people, and his peaches would not be sold.
"No hurry, no hurry. Even if our peaches are not unique, they are rare. So whether you come early or late, it's easy to sell! "Grandpa Lin has many years of experience in selling vegetables. Their early peaches are still ripe. So I'm not afraid that no one will buy it. Grandpa Lin put out a few peaches in the burden. This peach is bright red and looks very attractive.
Sure enough, as Grandpa Lin said, the early-ripening peaches are really very attractive. Not long after the stall was put out, someone came to ask for the price. Before coming, Grandpa Lin had already calculated in his heart, this peach was about four cents and five cents a pound when it was on the market, but now it is an early peach, so the price will be a little more expensive, and Grandpa Lin is ready to sell it for seven cents a pound.
"This is the early peach in the family, just such an early peach tree. Sell for seven cents a pound. Grandpa Lin picked a smaller peach and broke it hard. The peach was divided into two halves, and half of it was handed to the old lady who asked for the price. "Old sister taste the taste of this early peach. If it's good, you can weigh it home and try it. If you don't think it's good, it's fine. ”
The old lady took the half of the peach, and took a bite carefully, the early peach was crisp and raw, and the entrance was sweet enough, and after two more chews, the peach juice flowed all over her mouth. It tastes so good. So the old lady squatted down: "The peaches are good, but the price is a little more expensive, if you are cheaper, I will weigh two catties and taste it." ”
"Old sister, this peach is unique. If you miss this one, who knows when the next one will be. "It's the buyers who suspect that the goods are expensive. Grandpa Lin was not angry. Patiently accompany the old lady to pick peaches. Finally, the old lady picked three catties of peaches, but Grandpa Lin didn't give a counteroffer.
"Old sister, open the first order, I'll give you two more peaches." Grandpa Lin quickly picked two peaches and put them in the old lady's vegetable basket, and the old lady was happy.
"Then I'll be thankful. Your peaches are good. How many days can this peach be sold? I'll come back then! The old lady took advantage of the two peaches, and her heart was finally happy.
"It's not certain, it's just a precocious peach tree at home. I'll come back in two or three days. If you're eating well, check back every two or three days. Next time, I'll set up a stall here. ”
"Okay! Well fed, that's definitely going to come back. And the little girl of the house rejoiced in eating peaches. The old lady went away happily.
Doudou and Lin Shuang, the two little guys, stood on the left and right sides of Grandpa Lin, watching Grandpa Lin talk about business with others. I feel that Grandpa Lin is so powerful! After a while, I sold three catties of peaches.
"Grandpa! You're amazing! "Doudou's small mouth is sweet, and Grandpa Kwadlin is very happy.
"Good! Good! You are obedient, the peaches will be sold out in a while, and grandpa will buy you small twist flowers to eat! As soon as I heard that there were little twists to eat, the two little ones began to drool. The little twist flowers are fragrant, sweet, and crunchy! It's delicious!
