Chapter 3 Selling Vegetables
"Guodong woke up, sleep again, I guess I slept late last night!" At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Cuihua and Zhang Zhengrong came back from their parents' family, and Zhang Guodong opened the door once in a daze.
I slept too late last night, I was too excited, and Zhang Guodong counted the sheep very late. Zhang Zhengrong and Ye Cuihua came back from breakfast with their relatives.
Originally, I went to see if I could find a job that I could do, but the cleaning staff at the hospital at my aunt's side was full, and this trip was empty, and I was worried on the way back.
Speaking of which, the relationship between the two families is still good, but helplessly, they are not rich, from the countryside to the big city, they can only do what they can, in comparison, the sons and daughters of the aunt's family have developed well, and some have driven the car.
When the second elder came back, he brought Zhang Guodong two fried sticks and a bowl of tofu brain, which was his favorite breakfast.
"Guodong, get up first, eat this fritters and tofu brain while it's hot, it's really cold outside, it's starting to snow!" Ye Cuihua put the fritters and tofu brain in a bowl and urged Zhang Guodong to get up and eat breakfast.
"Ah, it's snowing?" Yesterday I saw the weather forecast that it was going to snow, and it really snowed secretly last night. "Mom, what time will you be back?"
When he woke up, Zhang Guodong couldn't sleep, he was so cold by the air conditioner that he woke up. was slightly stunned, seeing Ye Cuihua's busy appearance, her eyes turned red, but then she turned her head.
Zhang Zhengrong is studying 3D lottery newspapers,Although every time you buy a lottery ticket, you can't win,But this gives people a thought. Now that the weather is cold, it is inconvenient to find a job to do.
Zhang Guodong knew that in fact, the second elder was very anxious. After all, these days are tight, and the eldest brother and third brother are still helping from time to time.
The three of them were crammed into a single room of 20 square meters, which seemed very crowded, and the only valuable furniture was estimated to be a small color TV for 200 yuan.
Ye Cuihua was a little worried, and inadvertently leaked: "Eight o'clock, hey, your aunt's hospital is not recruiting people now, stay there and be upset, and come over after breakfast!" β
Zhang Zhengrong frowned, but pretended not to hear. /
When Zhang Guodong heard this, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, but he immediately cheered up. Be careful to see that the nine-layer pagoda mark on the chest is still there, and the heart said, Mom and Dad, don't worry, my son has developed this time, and he will be able to make money soon!
After breakfast and washing his face, Zhang Guodong set off quickly.
Ye Cuihua thought that her son was going out to look for a job, so she instructed a few words. It's been a few days, and I haven't found a suitable one, so I took out another thirty yuan to Zhang Guodong.
Zhang Guodong didn't say anything and took it.
He only has thirty yuan on him, and now the most important thing is to buy some vegetable seeds and test them in Taoyuan, thirty yuan is too little.
With sixty yuan, Zhang Guodong felt that the sixty yuan was extremely heavy, and whether he could get his wish depends on this one!
As soon as Zhang Guodong left, Ye Cuihua and Zhang Zhengrong became worried. It was snowing outside in front of me, and I thought that it would be the end of the year in two months, but now the family's savings are only about 400 yuan, and it will cost my eldest son's money again if the new year is closed.
Every time for the New Year, even if Zhang Guodong's eldest brother Zhang Guoliang can't come back for the New Year because of work, more than 1,000 will call, and if he comes back for the New Year, it will cost two or three thousand.
"Why don't you let Ye Lao Er's help and see if there is any work?" Zhang Zhengrong said for a long time.
Ye Cuihua was reluctant in every way.
That is his mother's cousin, also in Xi'an, his hometown of red dates is very special, I heard that the family property is more than one million, and he drives tens of thousands of cars. But it's not very good, you borrow some money, and it is estimated that tomorrow he will urge you to pay it back.
"How many brothers does you have in your family, can't you help at all? Always bothering my mother's family, are you willing? Ye Cuihua said angrily.
For the Zhang brothers, Ye Cuihua has a lot of opinions, three or four brothers, but there is nothing to count on. The Zhang family and the Ye family are all from the countryside, and their children and relatives are scattered everywhere, with the most in Xi'an.
As soon as Ye Cuihua talked about the old things, Zhang Zhengrong was silent.
Zhang Guodong didn't know about these complaints, and he was looking for a seed store. There are not many places that specialize in dealing in all kinds of vegetable seeds, and there is a small vegetable market in the village, but Zhang Guodong looked around, but he couldn't find it.
Someone in the market pointed it out, saying that it was to look for it in the district vegetable wholesale market, and there should be.
As a last resort, Zhang Guodong took a bus to the district vegetable wholesale market.
This market is the largest in the district, and it sells a wide range of vegetables, including vegetable seeds for the general public. However, most of them are wholesale and very little retail.
I finally found a grain and oil store, but the boss was leisurely watching TV, not very enthusiastic about the customer, and he didn't mean to get up.
"Boss, are there any vegetable seeds here?" Zhang Guodong entered the store, saw that the owner of the store was looking at it with relish, and raised his voice.
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Guodong, very cold, still didn't get up, leaned back in the chair and said lightly: "Yes, what seeds do you want?" β
"Tomatoes, green peppers, Chinese cabbage!" Zhang Guodong didn't care about these things, the important thing was to buy seeds and test whether they could be grown in Taoyuan. He walked around the market, so he chose these three kinds and looked at them first.
As a result, the shopkeeper skillfully pulled more than a dozen bags from the shelf, all of which were of different varieties, and said, "How much do you want each?" β
Zhang Guodong was embarrassed, and took a closer look, it turned out that these three kinds of vegetable seeds are also divided into many kinds, what No. 1 and No. 2, all of which are improved varieties, some have high yields, but long times, and some have average yields, but the planting time can be shortened, and the characteristics are different.
"What's the price?" After Zhang Guodong read it, he didn't say how much he wanted, but asked the price first. The owner of this shop is probably the only one in business, and he can't drag it, and if he wants less, he probably won't have a good face for himself.
"West No. 1 has a bag of fifteen pieces, No. 2 is the same, Datou Pepper No. 1 has a bag of twenty, No. 2 is eighteen, No. 3 is twenty-five, Chinese cabbage No. 1 is a bag of sixteen pieces, and No. 2 is fifteen!" The shopkeeper introduced with some impatience.
Zhang Guodong scolded in his heart, sixty yuan after deducting the bus fare, he can only buy two or three bags of seeds, which is really expensive!
Pick out three bags, count forty-eight dollars, and there will be eleven dollars left on your body.
"Only three bags?" The shopkeeper was stunned and frowned.
"Just these three bags, if the variety is good, go back and buy it!" Zhang Guodong slapped his swollen face and became fat, grabbed the seeds, paid the money and hurriedly flashed people, saving the shopkeeper's face from blackening into the bottom of the pot, and only bought one bag of each from afar, which is indeed not enough to waste emotional expenses.
However, today's businessman is no longer a customer is a god quality. He is not happy if you buy less, but it is better to buy more, and it is expensive.
Out of the vegetable wholesale market, Zhang Guodong went home directly.
Zhang Zhengrong and Ye Cuihua were both there, looking at their son coming back in surprise with an excited face, Ye Cuihua couldn't help but ask, "Guodong, have you found a job?" Why are you so happy? β
Zhang Guodong laughed twice and said, "Not yet, but soon!" β
Ye Cuihua was very happy when she heard that her son was going to find a job, but Zhang Zhengrong was not so easy to fool. I haven't found it yet, how can I say it's fast?
But he didn't think deeply about it, on this cold day, there were still snowflakes flying outside, and he couldn't show his hands and feet when he went out to do anything, and he had no capital. He has no skills in his life, but his son is his hope.
Zhang Guodong came back and wandered around, and hurriedly found a place to enter Taoyuan. But there is no convenient place upstairs, there are people living in it, only go into the bathroom upstairs, there is enough bad luck, but there is no way, this thing can not let anyone know.
After entering the Taoyuan, Zhang Guodong couldn't wait to follow the instructions on the bag, cut a shallow ditch in the purple and black soil, the soil was very soft, sparsely sprinkled with seeds, and then lightly covered, after a while, three kinds of vegetables were planted separately in two parts, but the seeds were only half planted, and then sprinkled with the water in the pool.
In these two fields, all the hopes of Zhang Guodong are planted, and his mood is extremely complicated and worried.
What if it fails? Or is there no difference between what is planted here and what is outside? Zhang Guodong has a sense of gain and loss.
Touching the ten yuan in his pocket, Zhang Guodong knew that he had no choice.
Recalling that there were once local people who introduced the object to Zhang Guodong, but in the end it didn't work, not to say that Zhang Guodong was unwilling, or that he had low self-esteem, even when people saw this world, they had to blow it, and now people are so realistic, they can't be romantic without money.
Zhang Guodong is an extremely ordinary person who doesn't pursue much, but he must also have money.
It seems that the time spent in Taoyuan is not short, Zhang Guodong hurriedly got out of Taoyuan, washed his face and washed his hands, scattered outside, and found that the snow outside the window began to fall again, and there seemed to be a bigger and bigger trend, sure enough, this weather forecast is very accurate, there will be rain and snow here in the coming week, this heavy snow, the road from the south to the north has been cut off, it is foreseeable, this vegetable is afraid that the price will rise again, right?
At noon, Ye Cuihua was in a good mood, and rarely went out to buy a chicken to stew. Although the family has no money and is even extremely poor, there are occasional rewards.
Zhang Zhengrong's temperament is at peace with the encounter, and everyone is happy today, so he drank a little wine: "This wine, you have to drink it when you are in a good mood, but it is not interesting to drink it alone, and you have to drink it with more people!" Son, have a drink with Dad! β
Zhang Guodong was busy responding. Although this wine is just an ordinary bulk wine, three yuan a bottle, but drinking depends on the mood, as long as you are happy, even the cheapest wine can be drunk.
"Dad, okay, I'll have a drink with you, and after a while, I'll buy you Moutai!" Zhang Guodong said seriously.
"Haha, then I'll wait!" Zhang Zhengrong took enough sip or two, in his opinion, drinking the national liquor Moutai is indeed a luxury, and he is usually willing to drink such expensive wine?
Ye Cuihua sandwiched chicken for Zhang Zhengrong and his son Zhang Guodong from time to time, and when he saw the father and son talking, he also interjected: "That wine is very expensive, right?" β
Zhang Guodong said: "It's not expensive!" β
"Dad, tell you something, how about you see me selling vegetables?" After brewing, Zhang Guodong threw out such a sentence, and carefully observed the look of the second elder.
Sure enough, when he said this, the second elder's face was not good-looking, and it was a little heavy.
Ye Cuihua was in a hurry, her son graduated from college anyway, how could he sell vegetables? They can't turn their minds around.
"No! How do you sell vegetables? How much money can you make? I don't see that sometimes I have to lose money if I am tired and tired! Ye Cuihua said that her eyes turned red.
Zhang Zhengrong didn't rush to object, but said after a while: "What do you think?" It's hard work to sell vegetables, and it doesn't necessarily make moneyβ"
Zhang Guodong was excited, and his father did not directly oppose it, but there was hope.
"Nowadays, city people like to eat green vegetables, and I plan to do this, and if I want to do it, I will do it differently from others!" Zhang Guodong explained.
Zhang Guodong doesn't have much idea about the start-up business of selling vegetables, there is a paradise, if it is really as he thinks, he can have more advantages than others, and he will basically make no money, but let him explain it specifically, this is inexplicable.
