Chapter Seventy-One: Transactions
Although the meat was bought this time, and she also slapped the dog and the butcher in the face. Although the heart is very happy, the burden on this body is much heavier than just now, plus going out with four fish and those bamboo shoots, Shui Yao estimates that it will cost one or twenty catties to touch the things on his shoulders.
Now with the addition of that meat, after walking for a while, Shui Yao's whole person was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely, and even his steps were a lot slower.
Looking at this day, I thought it was still early, but I didn't expect that when she arrived at the last agreed trading place, the man was already waiting here.
Seeing Shui Yao, the man's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and then he walked over quickly.
"Little girl, I didn't expect you to come quite early, did you bring everything?"
After hearing this, Shui Yao nodded simply, his hand movements were not ambiguous at all, and he quickly put the bamboo basket on the ground, and then took out the fish and bamboo shoots from it.
"You can rest assured that these bamboo shoots and fish are very fresh, and the fish was just killed this morning."
As soon as Shui Yao opened the back basket, the man saw the pork belly and pork ribs inside, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly tried it.
"This meat looks good, is it inconvenient for you to sell me some of these ribs?"
Seeing that Shui Yao didn't talk, the man pursed his lips curtly, paused slightly, and opened his mouth to explain.
"Little girl. It doesn't matter, if it's inconvenient then forget it, after all, this meat is quite difficult to buy now. However, I can pay double the price if you want, so do you want to think about it? ”
As soon as the man's words fell, Shui Yao's hand holding the bamboo shoots paused for a moment, and thought for a while: "It's okay, but I didn't buy many ribs today, I can't sell them all to you, after all, these meats are going to be taken back to my dad to replenish his body."
Speaking of this, Shui Yao looked at the man in front of him again: today he is wearing a half-new and not old one, and the shoes under his feet are not as bright as last time, but in general, it looks very neat, this man does not look like a poor man no matter how he says, and he should not worry about not being able to eat meat, but Shui Yao really can't figure out why he would pay twice the price to buy it with himself.
But after all, Shui Yao has been in the business world for so many years before, and he knows the truth that he should make more friends when he is away. Looking at the expression on the face of the man in front of him, it doesn't look like a fake, anyway, it's not that he doesn't give money to buy her things, so why not do it if he makes it convenient for himself and makes a good fate?
So, Shui Yao simply took out the ribs and said, "I just bought this meat." You can cut it yourself if you see how much you want, but we still calculate the price according to the market price. Since you've bought my fish and bamboo shoots, we're friends, what do you say? ”
When the man heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and it wasn't once or twice that he went to the black market to trade, but when did others see that he didn't try to raise the price more oil and water? After all, in business, since you can choose to sell things on the black market, the price will definitely not be cheap.
But the little girl in front of her actually sold the meat to herself so simply, and did not increase the price at all, which made the man can't help but look up to her.
After all, even if you go to the black market to buy some fine grains, you won't encounter such a good thing, not to mention, this is fresh pork, even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to buy it.
looked up at Shui Yao, but found that the little girl's face was calm and composed, without the slightest reluctance, as if this was a common thing in her.
Looking at the fresh fish and bamboo shoots in front of him, and then looking at the piles of pork, years of experience make the man can't help but feel the alarm bell in his heart, and there is a little more vigilance in his eyes.
"Where the hell did you get all this stuff?"
The man's voice sounded cold, so Shui Yao immediately understood, but it turned out that his kindness had aroused the suspicion of the other party, and he was suddenly helpless.
"I said, comrade, do you buy it or not? I was kind enough to sell you meat, but you are here to break the rules. Since you have come to the black market, you should also understand that it is better not to ask questions that should not be asked, we are all paying for it with one hand and delivering it with the other. ”
"I am telling you so much today, purely out of the creed of being kind to others, and I want to make you a friend sincerely. But since you don't want to, then I won't force it, let's not do this business, the ten yuan deposit you gave last time is still with me, and I will return it to you now! ”
After Shui Yao finished speaking, he put his things in the back basket and prepared to leave. The man suddenly felt bad in his heart when he saw it, he didn't expect this little girl to be so vigilant, so he hurriedly called Shui Yao to explain his intention.
"No, no, no, just now I was impulsive, I didn't think it through, and the words were a little ugly, don't take it to heart. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, and I won't buy too many ribs......"
"I'll tell you the truth, I purchased this fish and bamboo shoots for the government, but this meat is our family's own food, my daughter loves this, put a good meat and don't eat it, I have to gnaw on any bones, I thought about it with my daughter-in-law for a long time and didn't understand......"
Stopped, turned around, and looked at the helplessness on the man's face, Shui Yao also let down his guard, and almost laughed.
"I said it was for your daughter, but there's nothing I can't figure out, I like to eat pork ribs since I was a child, and it was difficult at home at that time, because I always made a fuss about eating, but my dad was sad to death......"
Because of the common topic, the awkward atmosphere between the two was quickly eased. The man smiled slightly, then took the knife and split the ribs in two, then took out the scale and began to weigh everything in the same way, and then groaned slightly.
"Little girl, look at it, these four fish are a total of twelve catties. One of these two big ones is four catties, and the other is three catties. The remaining two are relatively small, almost two and a half pounds. However, there are more bamboo shoots, and there are twenty catties. ”
"According to the price we talked about before, I will give you two pieces per pound of this fish, and two pieces of bamboo shoots per catty. You are also polite to me about these ribs, since you don't let me give you double the price, but I know that it is quite easy for you to buy these things, or we will discount them, how about I give you two yuan and five yuan per pound of this pork? My ribs are almost a little over a pound, I'll give you three, and you can't shirk it! ”
"All of this added up I should have given you fifty-three dollars, but because I paid you a ten-dollar deposit before, I'll give you another forty-three dollars now."
Because the two had already discussed the price before, Shui Yao did not refuse the man's request again, and quickly accepted four pieces of unity and three pieces of one dollar, and the big stone in his heart immediately fell to the ground. It seems that this man is indeed very trustworthy, and he has not run in vain.
After Shui Yao counted the money and put it away, he thanked the man and prepared to leave, and when he left, the man also formally introduced himself.
"Little girl, as you said, since we have already made a business, we are friends now. My surname is Lin, and I work in the printing factory in our county, if you need anything in the future, or when you have the goods in your hands, you can find me. ”
After hearing this, Shui Yao was not embarrassed, and introduced himself generously, thinking of the mountain ginseng at home, Shui Yao actually planned to collect it, after all, it has such a good condition, even if it is placed in this era, it is rare.
Another is that this mountain ginseng is a big tonic thing, although the disease of Shui Daquan is cured, there may be some accidents at home after that, a little injury and illness, maybe one day it will be used.
But Wu Chunhua and Mrs. Shui, and even the family of Shui Dayou are not good at stubble, and once there is a trouble, the roof can be overturned. When the time comes, if one is not done well, let them know that there is such a good thing at home, maybe there will be some trouble, after all, now Shui Daquan has fallen out with them on the surface, and these people have to be on guard from time to time.
Thinking of this, although Shui Yao felt very sorry, but in the end this thing can't be kept, it is better to change it out and exchange it for a sum of money, and then it can help the family tide over the difficulties, maybe in the future, he can do business by himself, and he can get a lot of capital!
Because he had done business with this man surnamed Lin once, Shui Yao also had a rough judgment of his character, so he said half-truthfully.
"Okay, Comrade Lin, if I have anything good in the future, I will definitely be the first to contact you. There's nothing wrong with these foods, but I don't know if you can take the rest. ”
When Lin Baichuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, the little girl in front of him was really hidden.
"Oh? Tell me, what is it? ”
For this mountain ginseng, although Shui Yao decided to sell it, she didn't take Lin Baichuan's words to heart. After all, this mountain ginseng is not like rice, flour and beans, which are eaten every day, everyone can afford it, whether Lin Baichuan will buy it at that time, Shui Yao did not have much hope.
"Actually, this thing is not mine. A distant relative of mine accidentally got a mountain ginseng a few days ago, because the family was in difficulty, and their family couldn't use this thing, so they found me and wanted me to change some money for her to solve the family's urgent needs. ”
After Lin Baichuan heard this, the brows that were still stretched just now wrinkled tightly at this time, and then the whole person fell into silence.
As soon as Shui Yao saw it, he knew that this matter might not be easy to do, so he didn't have much disappointment on his face, and said with a smile.
"It's okay, Mr. Lin, if it's troublesome, forget it, but thank you today. I'll look for this buyer when the time comes......"
