Chapter 64: Who the Hell Is Stalking the Old Lady?
Shui Yao's premonition has always been very accurate, if there is really something abnormal, then how can it always be heartbeat?
Thinking of this, Shui Yao secretly regretted in his heart: it would be good if he had raised his vigilance in the morning, it must have been that the two businesses in the morning were too smooth, so that someone was eyeing her, thinking of Li Xuemei's malicious revenge before, she felt as disgusting as eating a cockroach when she slept, and when she looked up at the blue sky, she couldn't arouse any joy in her heart.
At this moment, Shui Yao was walking alone in the alley with an empty basket on her back, and the uninhabited environment made her can't help but be alarmed, as if she took a step by herself, blinked once, and even every breath was invisibly monitored.
Are you being followed?
Suspicion is like mushrooms after a rain, once a seed is planted, it will quickly take root and sprout, break through the soil, and grow into a towering tree. In such a deserted environment, Shui Yao is just alone and doesn't have any helpers, so he can only be careful and careful. However, years of experience have taught her that the more panicked she is, the more she can't mess up her steps.
Walking out of the narrow alley, Shui Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, now, she can basically judge in her heart, even if there is someone behind her, there is no bad intention in her heart to harm her, after all, the road just now, if the other party really has bad intentions, it is the best chance to get off. But now that she has arrived at the bus station, the flow of people is huge, as long as the other party has the slightest threat to her safety, Shui Yao only needs to simply move her mouth, and someone from all directions will immediately come to help.
After making sure that there was no danger, Shui Yao stopped and said lightly: "Comrade, you have also been following for a long time, what can't we talk about openly?" You're always sneaking behind me like this, it's too unfair, isn't it? Say it and make people laugh, come out! ”
When the people behind him heard this, their hearts were slightly shocked: they thought that they were following them secretly enough, but they didn't expect to be discovered. It seems that the little girl in front of me is not a simple character, she is really unseemly.
However, it is not for nothing that he came back this time and was able to follow all the way, since it has been discovered, there is nothing to hide, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he praised: "Little girl, I didn't expect your senses to be so keen." I had only been following for a short time before you found out. However, you don't have to be afraid, I have no ill will to follow you. ”
Shui Yao looked back, and roughly understood in his heart: it seems that this person is here to do business with him. The person in front of him, about forty years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked very shrewd. Dressed in a tunic suit, dark blue shirt and pants, it was ironed very neatly, and he didn't look like a person from this small county town.
Knowing that this customer is not small, Shui Yao was not in a hurry, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked without humility or arrogance: "Oh? This comrade, you've been with me for so long, don't you want to come to me for business? ”
The man saw that this little girl was not tall and dressed very plainly, but he was not in a hurry in the face of himself, and even the demeanor on his face did not change in the slightest, unlike the two people before, when he heard that he was from the city, he immediately smiled and deliberately raised the price. So, I thought two more points higher for this little girl.
"You're right, in fact, I'll tell you the truth, when you were doing business just now, I saw that the fish and bamboo shoots you took were fresh enough, so I wanted to talk to you to see if we could make this deal."
After hearing this, Shui Yao took off the basket and said helplessly: "My things are indeed relatively fresh, but you came late today, and both fish and bamboo shoots have been sold, so ......"
Seeing that Shui Yao turned his head and was about to leave, the man hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I know that your things are sold out, and I am not in a hurry to ask for them today." I want to ask if you are free tomorrow, I want to buy you a few fish, and if you have bamboo shoots, you can also get me some, and I will definitely not treat you badly at the price. ”
After hearing this, Shui Yao couldn't help but think in his heart: Nowadays, there are not many people who can afford to eat fish, but the person in front of him actually asked for several at once, and he doesn't know what the other party is from, but at present, it seems that there may only be two situations: first, this person buys fish for the people above, and the price of course does not matter, as long as it is fresh, eating fish is also a taste; Another speculation is that this person may be a buyer at a state-run hotel, and it is understandable to ask for more than one time. However, no matter which one it is, if the business is done, it will not be bad for Shui Yao.
Shui Yao saw that there was a possibility that this business could continue, so he said: "This comrade, the problem of price is still secondary. The key is how many fish do you want, how many catties of bamboo shoots do you want? ”
The man originally expected that this little girl would come to the black market to do business this time just to catch ducks on the shelves, after all, he had been observing here for several days, and it was the first time he had seen Shui Yao. If this is the case, then there must not be much inventory in their home, but Liao Tiesheng never expected that it would not be what he thought.
"I'm definitely not going to buy just one from you here, how much can you give? You can rest assured, I'll give you the pound count. Now this thing is priceless, and it is much rarer than pork. I'll give you two dollars a pound of fish, and if you want bamboo shoots, you'll give you two yuan a pound, do you think it's okay? ”
The quote given by the man really shocked Shui Yao, no wonder in this era, many people are willing to take such a big risk and buy and sell on the black market. You must know that two yuan a pound is definitely not a small amount, and the money that can buy a pound of fish can make the family eat well for two days until now.
However, in front of the interests, Shui Yao's mind was still very clear: "I'm sorry, although I still have some fish and bamboo shoots, but they may not be as many as you think." There are still four fish left in the top of the house now, but there are still a lot of bamboo shoots, about ten catties, do you want them all? ”
Shui Yao knew very well in his heart that although there were still a lot of fish in the small river in the back mountain, if he had fished out everything for money now, he would only be speechless if he wanted to fight a tooth sacrifice in the future. After all, her Shui Yao's specialty is not here, and this kind of business will not last long.
After hearing this, the man was overjoyed, and after a little calculation in his heart, he immediately made a decision, very simply: "Okay, I want it all." Tomorrow or this time, I'll be waiting for you here! ”
After speaking, he took out a piece of "Great Unity" from his pocket and handed it to Shui Yao: "This ten yuan should be regarded as the deposit I gave, and I will pay you the rest tomorrow after we weigh the things."
As soon as the words fell, Shui Yao did not refuse, so he simply took the ten yuan. After all, no matter what time it is, the most important thing in doing business is integrity. It's nothing to take a deposit. I'm afraid that I don't have a long brain, so I happily took the things over to others, and finally the buyer took the goods, ran away as soon as he slipped away, and finally lost his wife and broke his soldiers.
Now that he has collected the deposit, Shui Yao secretly relieved his heart, no matter how the business is said to be a little successful, and then he said goodbye to the man, and rushed to the hospital by himself.
As soon as she opened the door, Shui Yun's small body pounced on her: "Sister, where have you been?" My dad and I have been waiting for you all morning, and if you don't come back, I'm going to go door to door looking for you! ”
After speaking, he quietly pulled the corner of Shui Yao's clothes, signaled her to lower her head, and Shui Yun's own voice was also lowered suddenly, and said mysteriously.
"Sister, your potato chips are delicious, can you make me some more tomorrow?"
Before Shui Yao could answer, Shui Daquan's worried voice rang out: "Look at you girl, you are so big, and you are so uneasy, you don't even tell your brother where you went, so we have been worried for so long for no reason." However, if you tell me the truth, are you secretly going to business again? ”
Since the last time the father and daughter had an in-depth conversation, Shui Daquan no longer objected to Shui Yao doing business, but because this time the things traded were fish and bamboo shoots, all of which were obtained from the back mountain, and this was a forbidden place in the village, Shui Daquan had repeatedly told them that their sisters and brothers were not allowed to go, so Shui Yao did not plan to tell the matter and the plate.
"No, wasn't it discovered last time I secretly went to sell potato chips? I'm sure I'm not going to be so impulsive this time around without being prepared. ”
Listening to Shui Yao's words, Shui Daquan couldn't help but nod secretly, his daughter seemed to be a lot more cautious after what happened last time.
Seeing that Shui Daquan had already believed his words, Shui Yao breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and made up a reason half-truthfully: "But this time I did go to our county to take a good turn." Isn't it thinking that you are about to be discharged from the hospital, thinking about what good things to buy for you to improve your food, replenish your body, and celebrate your physical recovery! ”
Shui Yao's face was full of sincerity when he spoke, as if he was just about to say "If you don't believe me, swear", he almost broke his work if he wanted to put on a majestic look like Shui Daquan, although his voice was full of seriousness, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"It's rare that you still have this filial piety! So what did you find? You see that you are really getting more and more idle now, and you have to go to the city every three days, but I also spent a lot of money on hospitalization this time, and you have always sent me so many delicious foods recently, so we should save some money. ”
