Chapter 274: Shake off Yuanyuan
Although Bai Mengdie has never grown up in the countryside, she has the memories of the original owner, and it is not difficult for her to record the types of these wild mushrooms.
Put the basket containing wild mushrooms on your back, and the white dream butterfly is about to go out.
The eldest baby has never been to the city alone, the old lady is not at ease, and insists on sending her to the town to take a ride, Bai Mengdie has no choice but to rely on her.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson went out, they met Yuanyuan, who had come back for breakfast and was about to go to work in the fields again.
With her round neck stretched, she glanced at Bai Mengdie's back basket and asked, "Fluttershy, are you going to sell mushrooms in the city?" β
Bai Mengdie glanced at her and ignored her.
Yuan Yuan looked at the figures of her grandfather and grandson walking away, and turned back to her yard.
The old lady chattered all the way to the town long-distance bus station.
Seeing that Tian Yongkang was also standing on the platform with a basket on his back, the old lady asked, "Yongkang, where are you going?" β
Tian Yongkang replied: "In the past two days, our family has picked some mushrooms, and I have carried them to the city to sell them at a high price. β
Bai Mengdie thought to herself, this guy is quite clever, and he also thought of taking wild mushrooms to the city to sell, which is really the same as the hero.
The old lady was overjoyed: "Your sister Fluttershy is also going to the city to sell mushrooms, and it just so happens that you two sisters and brothers are companions." β
When Bai Mengdie heard this, she took two steps back, trying to distance herself from Tian Yongkang.
In the past, the original owner sued in front of his grandparents and made Tian Yongkang beaten.
She was really worried, just the two of them, would Tian Yongkang drag her to a deserted alley and beat her up to take revenge?
Tian Yongkang, dressed in tattered clothes, glanced at Bai Mengdie nobly and coldly, and said to the old lady: "Grandma Bai, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Xiaodie." β
Bai Mengdie's heart was even more frightened, and the word "care" probably had a deep meaning.
β¦β¦ I'm afraid that I won't be able to run away with a beating today~
No! I, Bai Mengdie, will never admit defeat, and I have to find a way to run if I can't run away!
If you can't, just fight him.
Although the teenager who has been doing farm work for a long time seems to be powerful, his taekwondo black belt is not a vegetarian.
The old lady didn't know that Bai Mengdie had so many inner dramas, and she was very relieved to get Tian Yongkang's promise.
I ran to buy two wave lollipops, one for each child, and said to Tian Yongkang with a smile on his face: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you." β
Although Tian Yongkang took the clay lollipop out of politeness, the corners of his eyes twitched.
I am a big boy of more than 1.7 meters, holding a colorful wave plate lollipop in his hand, which is too discordant~
The old lady saw that Bai Mengdie had Tian Yongkang as her companion, so she left with confidence.
The old lady walked on the front foot, and Tian Yongkang threw the wave lollipop into Bai Mengdie's arms on the back foot.
Bai Mengdie hurriedly caught it, thinking to himself, this guy doesn't even want the old lady to bribe his trailer lollipop, he will definitely clean himself up~
Two people were back to back, each in their own camp.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the long-distance bus finally came.
The cousins and brothers, who ignored each other, walked towards the car door together, but Tian Yongkang slowed down without a trace and let Bai Mengdie get into the car first.
As soon as Bai Mengdie got on the bus, she bought all the tickets for the two of them, not because she hoped that Tian Yongkang would not beat her for the sake of buying the tickets, but because she was sympathetic to the poor conditions of his family.
Besides, he is not an outsider, he is his cousin, and it is nothing to pay this money.
Tian Yongkang saw it, didn't say anything, and walked quickly towards the back of the carriage, only there was a vacant seat in the back.
A middle-aged woman was competing with him and walked towards the vacant seat.
But he couldn't stand Tian Yongkang's height and long legs, so he walked to the vacant seat and sat down in a few steps.
Bai Mengdie glanced at him, grabbed a ring and stood up.
Tian Yongkang had no choice but to call her: "Come here, I'll give you the place." β
Bai Mengdie was just about to walk over when a round voice came from the door of the car: "Fluttershy, can you help me?" β
Bai Mengdie turned her head and saw her carrying a load full of wild mushrooms to get into the car, but she couldn't get up because it was too heavy, and she was looking at her for help.
Bai Mengdie silently looked away and walked to Tian Yongkang's side.
Tian Yongkang had already stood up and given up his position to her.
Bai Mengdie said thank you and sat down, and Tian Yongkang stood next to her seat.
Most of the rural people are kind, and when they saw that the round goods couldn't be dragged up, someone helped drag them up.
After Yuanyuan came up to buy the ticket, she looked at Bai Mengdie sadly: "Fluttershy, we are from a village, and we are neighbors, you don't help me~"
Her words successfully made many unsuspecting passengers cast disdainful glances at Bai Mengdie.
Bai Mengdie rolled her eyes at her: "I won't help you white-eyed wolf anymore, you don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me!"
Not only will I not help you, but the whole village will not help you, who doesn't know that you are not a thing! β
Those passengers, who had despised Bai Mengdie before, listened to her words and thought to themselves, how bad is this girl's reputation in the village, and no one in the whole village is willing to help her.
The disdainful gazes of those passengers turned to Yuanyuan again, and those eyes were like a man's back, which made Yuanyuan very uncomfortable.
Two hours later, Bai Mengdie and Tian Yongkang got out of the car together.
With the help of the conductor, Yuanyuan pulls her load of goods out of the car, and chases after his brother and sister on his shoulder, shouting, "Fluttershy, wait for me!" β
The more she shouted, the faster Bai Mengdie walked.
Tian Yongkang didn't say a word, and followed her in great strides.
Bai Mengdie took Tian Yongkang to the community where Shi Lei had sold vegetables before, and put down the back basket at the entrance.
Although Tian Yongkang thought it was strange, how could she bring him to sell vegetables in the community, shouldn't he go to the bazaar? But he still set up a stall opposite her.
Bai Mengdie thought to herself, two people sell the same thing, and the price must be the same.
So he ran to him, whispered his price, and then went back to his stall.
There were a lot of people coming in and out of the entrance of the community, and someone immediately came to ask how to sell their mushrooms.
Bai Mengdie quoted all the prices of all the mushrooms in a mouthful of standard Mandarin, and repeatedly emphasized that they were wild mushrooms.
Those customers will be skeptical.
A customer said: "If these are really wild mushrooms, then the price is not expensive, if not, the price is a bit high." β
Tian Yongkang said: "If you look carefully at the roots of our mushrooms, almost all of them are bark, and if they are artificially planted, they are straw. β
Those customers saw that it was really as he said, but they still didn't believe it, and insisted that his sister and brother sell it at a reduced price.
How could Bai Mengdie and Tian Yongkang reduce the price, they worked hard to carry them to the city just to sell them at a high price.
Speaking of price reduction, isn't that the price of artificially grown mushrooms, and it's too much of a loss, so I refuse to reduce it.
The customers dispersed.
Bai Mengdie was thinking about whether to move her nest, Yuanyuan came with her load of wild mushrooms, and put the stall next to Bai Mengdie.
Bai Mengdie was angry: "In such a big place, where can't you set up a stall, you have to put it next to me!" Doesn't this clearly show a business grab? β
Yuan Yuan pretended to be cowardly, but his words were not weak at all: "This place is not yours, why can't I set up a stall next to you?" β
Bai Mengdie picked up the basket and left angrily, and Tian Yongkang followed closely behind.
Yuan Yuan smiled smugly behind their backs.
Bai Mengdie took Tian Yongkang to the door of the fat sister-in-law's snack bar, and greeted the fat aunt with a smile: "Auntie, my brother and I will set up a stall in front of your store for a while?" β
At this point, the peak of selling breakfast has not yet passed, and the fat aunt responded in her busy schedule and said, "Just put it on." β
Bai Mengdie and Tian Yongkang stood at the door of her snack bar like two door gods.
The business of the Fat Sister-in-law's snack bar is very hot, and many neighbors come to her house for breakfast, and there are many people coming in and out.
Some neighbors asked Bai Mengdie's sister and sister how they sold these fungi.
Bai Mengdie first stated that they were all wild mushrooms, so the selling price was higher than that of artificially grown mushrooms, and then quoted the price.
The neighbors of the fat sister-in-law, like the customers just now, don't believe in their wild mushrooms at all.
The fat sister-in-law spoke for them: "These two children said that it was a wild mushroom, and I dare to pack a ticket." β
Bai Mengdie suddenly found evidence that they were selling wild mushrooms.
"Ladies and aunts, look at the several kinds of fungi we sell, and the number of each fungus is not much.
If it were our own artificially cultivated mushrooms, it would not be possible to have so many varieties, and the number would not be so small.
Who of you has ever seen a mushroom grow, a chicken leg mushroom, a black fungus and a lichen? β
As soon as the neighbors of the fat sister-in-law heard this, it made sense, and the fat sister-in-law helped to speak, and also took the lead in buying some wild mushrooms, so her neighbors followed suit.
In this era, people in the city already know how to maintain their health, and they are willing to spend money on natural food, and the price is high.
Bai Mengdie has more than 30 catties of wild mushrooms, and Tian Yongkang has more than 50 catties.
Although it only adds up to eighty or ninety catties, it was sold out until noon.
The main reason is that these wild mushrooms can be bought for half a catty, and they can be made into a dish with some meat, so they sell slowly.
After selling wild mushrooms, the two sisters and brothers happened to have lunch at the fat sister-in-law's snack bar.
Bai Mengdie asked for two bowls of hot dry noodles and two bowls of eggnog, and Tian Yongkang sat face to face and ate them.
Tian Yongkang glanced at the fat aunt and saw her sitting at the counter counting the turnover.
whispered to Bai Mengdie: "I want my grandfather and my father to come to this community to sell vegetables, it's inconvenient for you to tell this fat aunt, let my grandfather set up a stall in front of her store, and pay her five yuan for the stall fee every time." β
Today, more than 80 catties of wild mushrooms for two people can be sold, and if it is to sell vegetables, there must be more people who buy them, so Tian Yongkang wants his grandfather and his father to come to this community to sell vegetables.
But I was afraid that they would be bullied, so I wanted to set up a stall in front of the fat sister-in-law's snack bar, so that I could take care of them.
But he didn't know the fat aunt well, so he could only ask Bai Mengdie to help him ask.
Bai Mengdie naturally agreed, her own relatives, if she can, she will help.
After the two sisters and brothers finished eating hot dry noodles and drinking eggnog, Bai Mengdie paid, and the fat aunt said that she didn't want anything.
"Your mother and your second aunt will bring me a big bag of vegetables as long as they come to the city, our family has never bought vegetables now, your sister and brother eat a bowl of noodles from me and I still collect money, what have I become."
Bai Mengdie insisted on stuffing the money to her: "Fat aunt, you can take the money, I still have something to ask you." β
"What's the matter?" The fat aunt had no choice but to accept the money and asked.
"That's right, after eating the vegetables grown by my grandfather and uncle's house, I want to pick them up in your community to sell, so I sell them at the door of your store, is it okay? You are given five dollars each time for a booth fee. β
"Yes, as long as it doesn't block my faΓ§ade and doesn't affect my business." The fat aunt was very talkative, "You don't have to give me the stall fee, just give me some vegetables every time." β
The two sisters and brothers thanked each other and left happily together.
Bai Mengdie took out the two clap lollipops that the old lady bought, and divided one to Tian Yongkang.
Tian Yongkang shook his head and said with a look of disgust: "This is what the little girl eats, I don't eat it." β
The fat girl Bai Mengdie was not polite to him, peeled off a wave lollipop and licked it.
When the two passed through the entrance and exit of the community, the round figure was no longer visible, Bai Mengdie thought to herself, this little slut's business is not bad, so many wild mushrooms have been sold.
When the sister and brother passed by the Jiangcheng shopping mall, Bai Mengdie had already eaten a wave lollipop.
Just as he lowered his head and took a tissue from his pocket to wipe his mouth, Chen Ziqian strode out of the mall and almost hit her.
Chen Ziqian hurriedly stopped his steps and looked at Bai Mengdie with a look of surprise: "You have eaten paint, and your mouth is full of color." β
Bai Mengdie thought to herself, the wave board lollipops sold in the town are all fake and shoddy products, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten a mouthful of color.
"I didn't eat colors, I ate rainbows." Bai Mengdie wiped her mouth with a tissue vigorously, and sure enough, the tissue was full of colors.
There is a lot of pigment on this wave lollipop.
"You're going to buy something here." Bai Mengdie asked.
"Uh-huh." Chen Ziqian quietly stuffed the things in his hand into the pocket of his jeans.
Then he turned his gaze and stared at Tian Yongkang with an unkind face: "Who is he?" β
Although Tian Yongkang is a few months younger than Bai Mengdie, he is also a boy who has just fallen in love, and he knows that he is jealous when he sees Chen Ziqian's appearance.
Gao Leng said: "I am her cousin, and I am no threat to you." β
Chen Ziqian's face softened, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and said with a lot of money: "It's not early, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." β
Bai Mengdie shook her head: "No need, we have already eaten, and we have to go back now." β
Chen Ziqian was a little regretful: "Then I'll send you to the station." β
Bai Mengdie shook her head again: "Don't bother, if you're okay, go home and study quickly." β
Chen Ziqian insisted on sending them to the long-distance bus station, and watched his sister and brother get into the car before leaving.
It was almost three o'clock when the two of them returned to town.
got off the bus at the long-distance bus station, and Bai Mengdie was about to part ways with Tian Yongkang and go back to their respective homes.
Tian Yongkang stubbornly wanted to send her to the entrance of the village: "I promised Grandma Bai to take care of you, then I must send you home safely." β
Bai Mengdie thought to herself, it was just a matter of taking one more step, so she nodded and agreed.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Tian Yongkang left without saying a word.
When Bai Mengdie returned home, the old lady had just finished baating the two sheep with forage.
Seeing her come back, the old lady put her heart into her stomach and asked, "Have you eaten outside, haven't you eaten grandma." β
"I've eaten it." Bai Mengdie took off the empty basket on her body and put it in the corner.
The old lady had already poured her a basin of washing water and put it on the patio for her to wash her hands and face, and asked, "Are the mushrooms easy to sell?" How much did it sell? β
