Bai Mengdie didn't buy and sell by force, but said: "You get what you pay for, my cherry has just been picked from the tree, it is fresh and sweet."

If you go to the vegetable market to buy such a good cherry, it won't be cheap, and it won't cost fifteen yuan! And if you want to buy two or two people and don't sell it, at least you have to weigh half a catty! ”

In the late 90s recorded in this book, the general fruit was weighed by catties, saying that people would not sell it if there was less, and watermelons were also weighed by catties.

Unlike Bai Mengdie's era, people also sell fruits in two or three taels, and watermelons in supermarkets are cut and sold.

Although the girl put the cherries back into Bai Mengdie's basket, her eyes never left those red and bright cherries, which was so tempting!

Hearing Bai Mengdie say that, the girl found a step for herself: "I can't eat half a catty, I just want one or two taels, your amount is just right."

Are your cherries really sweet, if they are really sweet, if you are willing to be cheaper, I will buy a pack and taste it. ”

Bai Mengdie smiled and said: "Sweet or not, you can take one yourself and taste it, as for the cheap ......"

She wiped the sweat on her face: "My grandfather and I came to the provincial capital under the scorching sun all the way, don't we want to sell this little fruit at home at a good price?" If I sell it cheaply, then I can sell it in the county, and I don't have to pay for the road to run so far. ”

Speaking of this, she deliberately paused for a while, pretending to be struggling fiercely in her heart: "The intention of opening is auspicious, I will give you two cents less, two yuan eighty-one pack, no less." ”

The girl smiled, picked up a red cherry that Bai Mengdie specially left for customers to taste, and prepared to send it to her mouth, wanting to taste whether it tasted good.

Her hand holding the cherry suddenly stopped at the edge of her mouth, and asked worriedly: "Can you eat this cherry directly, there is a pesticide on it, you can't eat it directly, I have to find a place to wash it after I bought it, it's too troublesome, then I don't want it." With that, he put the cherry in his hand into the basket.

Bai Mengdie swore and said: "I promise, there are really no pesticides, this is the cherries that my family grows and eats, and I am reluctant to eat the ones that I carry to the city to sell, unlike fruit farmers who will spray pesticides on fruit trees." ”

The girl's boyfriend's eyes were full of doubts: "Are you lying, you see that all your cherries are so good-looking, and you don't have any insect eyes, how can you not use pesticides?" ”

Bai Mengdie explained: "That's because our family takes good care of it. ”

The old man smiled and said: "In the end, it is a young man in a big city, and he doesn't know the characteristics of cherries."

Although the yield of cherries is very low, and a tree can not produce a few catties of cherries, there are few cherry diseases and pests, as long as they are carefully cared for, they will not get sick and grow worms, and there is no need to use pesticides at all.

It doesn't matter if you don't wash it, wipe it on the palm of your hand and wipe off the dust and you're ready to eat.

Not to mention this cherry, it is the cucumber and tomato that grows in our rural vegetable field, and they can be eaten with one rub. ”

Bai Mengdie looks like a girl with no grains, and the old man looks like a farmer's uncle, and he is also old, so the little couple believes his words.

The girl was relieved to take a cherry and rub it in the palm of her hand according to what the old man said, and then sent it to her mouth to taste it carefully, sweet and sour, and it tasted great.

She was satisfied and said, "Here's a bag." ”

Her boyfriend is very generous: "Since you like to eat, let's buy two bags." ”

The girl obviously didn't want the boy to spend more money, and shouted, "I can't eat two bags!" ”

Bai Mengdie looked at the girl twice with appreciation, the girl in this era is not very materialistic, her love is very pure, she likes it!

Trees grow old into demons, and people grow old into spirits.

The old man smiled kindly and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't eat it, my cherries are fresh, and there is no problem with them for two or three days, and it is rare to meet such delicious cherries as mine!" ”

The boy generously took out six yuan: "Don't look for it, it's not easy for you to do a small business." ”

Bai Mengdie smiled and said thank you, took the six yuan, and asked the girl to pick two bags of cherries by herself.

She also opened a bag of plums and grabbed a handful to the girl: "My plums are also delicious, give you a handful." ”

Although it is a one-time transaction, but people are happy, and Bai Mengdie is unwilling to snub others.

She has the breath of Jiangcheng people, if you respect me, I will respect you.

The little couple was all a little surprised, they had never seen this kind of small businessman who took the initiative to give gifts, and the two also said thank you and left happily.

Bai Mengdie's grandfather and grandson continued to walk towards Jiangcheng Shopping Mall.

The old man looked back at the little couple several times and said in amazement: "Why are the people in the city so rich!" Such expensive cherries are willing to buy! ”

Bai Mengdie gave him a look of disgust: "Grandpa, what do you mean?" Do you wish my cherries wouldn't sell? ”

The old man hurriedly explained: "Why would I think like that! I just think it's strange, didn't your dad say that the whole city is now laid-off, it is said that people in the city live a tight life, how can they afford to eat such expensive fruits! ”

Bai Mengdie laughed: "Grandpa, the consumption concept of young people in the city is different from that of us countrymen, whether we countrymen have money or not, saving money is the first."

Young people in the city don't care whether their wallets are warm or not, as long as they can afford it, they will consume it, unless they have no money.

Besides, you are reluctant to spend money when you fall in love, so you can expect that boy to be willing to spend money on that girl! ”

The old man thinks about it.

He said happily, "Big baby! Or are you smart and bold, and you can speak well, our cherries can be sold at a high price! ”

Bai Mengdie humbly laughed twice: "Grandpa, it's not that I can speak, the main thing is that grandma takes good care of our fruit trees, the fruit has both good looks and taste, and grandpa explains it to customers in place, so the little couple is willing to buy it, and it is still grandparents' ability!" ”

Bai Mengdie's sycophant shooting was extremely natural, and the old man couldn't close his mouth happily.

The grandfather and grandson laughed all the way to the gate of Jiangcheng Shopping Mall.

It has been three years since the state implemented the two-day holiday system in 1995.

Not to mention, the two-day holiday system particularly stimulates consumption, and the entrance of Jiangcheng shopping mall is crowded, and everyone selling snacks is busy.

Bai Mengdie took the old man to squat down with his back against the wall next to the gate of the mall, put the basket and basket in front of him, and immediately someone came to ask them how to sell plums and cherries.

Bai Mengdie quoted the price, some people didn't buy it because it was too expensive, but some people could accept it, and bought cherries or plums to eat while shopping.

Although cherries are more expensive than plums, they sell much better, and real foodies are not afraid of price, they just want to eat happily.

The old man sighed in his heart, people in the city will really enjoy it, if they are their hometown relatives, if anyone buys such expensive fruits to eat, they will be paid attention to behind the back of the villagers, saying that the family is greedy and will not run the family.
