Chapter 21: Temple Fair (2)

was named by the village chief, even if Meng Zhen didn't plan to go, he had to participate now. I went to the village committee to register, and then went to the pond to take a look, Meng Fanli's family had already finished watering the wheat field and left, and Meng Zhen's lotus pond only had half a pond of water left.

The other villagers who came to carry the water saw that Meng Zhen's face was not very good, and they were embarrassed to take any more water, and secretly scolded Liu Yumei in their hearts, and said hello to Meng Zhen and left. After a while, Meng Zhen herself was left in the pond, she looked at her lotus pond, and now the lotus flowers have just budded, and there is a lot less water in it, and a lot of fish fry are exposed.

sighed in her heart, what a strong woman, now there is no one around, she came to the manor to get a leather pipe, and drew water from the spring pool in the manor to replenish the lotus pond.

Because the persimmons in the yard ripen too early, so that the people in the village envy and guess, in order to reduce trouble, she has now stopped watering vegetables and fruit trees with the spring water of the estate, except for the early ripening toon buds and persimmons, other jujube trees and walnuts have returned to normal growth rate.

The water in the lotus pond slowly filled, and Meng Zhen's mood gradually calmed down, alas, isn't it just a little spring water, forget it. Now her life is very dull, but she enjoys this kind of dull and fulfilling days very much, why bother to disturb her peace for these little things? At most, the fence and the wooden house should be built as soon as possible, so that those who are not content will be able to retreat.

When she got home, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, it was too early to prepare dinner, Xiong Xiong was already lying in the manor and refused to come out, she felt a little bored and turned on the computer to surf the Internet.

Speaking of surfing the Internet, her home's broadband is finally connected. Last week, the staff of the urban Unicom company came to Zhuangli to check the problem of the primary school's network obligations, and by the way, Meng Zhen pulled up the line, and the broadband was connected the next day.

After Liu Jiajia and Feng Xiaoyan knew that they wanted to install broadband, they discussed with Meng Zhen that they also wanted to add a notebook. Usually there is no entertainment, they like to surf the Internet or something, but there is a computer at home, and Sister Meng also has to use it, how embarrassed she is to occupy the computer, and now the small netbook is not expensive, and the two of them have saved some money after working for a few months, so they plan to buy a small book, and the three of them will share the Internet fee together.

Now there is no place to spend money, Meng Zhen recently saved a small amount of money, for a few hundred yuan of Internet fees, she didn't want the two girls to share, but considering that the young man's self-esteem is very strong, she symbolically charged two hundred yuan per person.

After the broadband was connected, the two teachers excitedly went to the technology market in the urban area, spent nearly three months' salary, and each bought a 13-inch netbook. The computer was solved, but the original computer desk was not enough, so Meng Zhen simply ordered a large workbench and removed all the other small furniture in the study, leaving only the rattan table and rattan chair under the window. A large workbench with each person occupying a corner, and computers, pen holders, and other bits and pieces are placed in their own places.

Turn on the computer,Log in to QQ,Today is a working day,There is no information in the 303 group。 Meng Zhen washed a plate of strawberries and put them in his hand, and browsed the websites he often visited while eating. As soon as I landed on the forum of "Spring Water People", the system prompted that there was a station message. clicked on it and found that netizens sent her a lot of messages.

The reason is the strawberries she gave away. The netizens who received the strawberries quickly finished eating, and when they ate them, they just thought they tasted good, but when they ate the ones sold on the market, there was a gap in comparison, so they began to ask Meng Zhen to buy some strawberries she sent. Netizens who didn't receive it were also very curious when they saw the pictures of other netizens' shows, and asked Meng Zhen if he could also buy some. Therefore, Meng Zhen's private mailbox is full of information about netizens seeking to buy strawberries.

Meng Zhen read all the information, thought about it, and made a post. Because she is a person who is easy to satisfy, when the bank began to have deposits, she no longer went to sell vegetables every day, but only caught up with the big market every five and ten. Today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar, and there are still a few days before the day of the big gathering, and she has to prepare to participate in the temple fair, so it is not very convenient for netizens to buy it in Liujiaji.

Thinking of the temple fair on March 3, she directly said on the post that she has no store, so it is not good to sell at a fixed point, if interested netizens can participate in the temple fair, her strawberries and persimmons will be sold at the temple fair.

Not long after the post was posted, some netizens followed.

"The temple fair, is it from the Thousand Buddha Mountain? Great, I'm just going to go shopping, how many stalls are there? ”

"And persimmons! Forgive me for being a shallow learner, it doesn't seem to be the season for persimmons to ripen, right? ”

"Of course not, as the saying goes, 'walnuts in July, pears in August, persimmons in September come to the market'! It's not yet March, and the persimmons are ripe?! ”

"Oh, now that technology is so advanced, 'everything is possible', let's go and see it when the time comes!"

"Hey, anyway, I'll recognize the landlord's strawberries, and go to the temple fair on the weekend!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In the post, everyone is discussing enthusiastically, just three days of the temple fair this year, two of which are weekends, and people who have been tormented by the cold winter for a winter can take this opportunity to go out.

Meng Zhen probably told netizens about the location of their booth, and left his mobile phone number, and called him when the time came.

On QQ, Chen Xue's avatar swayed, and Meng Zhen clicked: "Honey, do you know that there is a temple fair this weekend?" ”

Meng Zhen was holding strawberries in his mouth, typing with both hands, thinking to himself, what's the matter, even Chen Xue is keen on temple fairs?

"Yes, I'm going to participate!"

"Really?! Great, remember the beautiful clothes in those two days, Zhao Kai and I will also go to cheer you on! ”

Cheer? What is the power? Just wanted to ask clearly, Chen Xue sent a message: "The boss is here, I flashed!" ”

Then it went offline, and Meng Zhen had a big question mark: "I went to sell fruits, why did I wear so beautifully?" ”

Time is very fast, in a blink of an eye it is the day of the temple fair, and the villagers of Zhoujiazhuang are lively and lively to take the car chartered by the village committee and drive all the way to the city.

On the first day of the temple fair, because it was Friday, there were not many people, and Meng Zhen also took into account this situation, so he didn't bring many things, but more to join in the fun.

There are not many people in the upper reaches of the mountain, but the people who participate in the temple fair from all over the country are in place early in the morning, there are all kinds of fruits, pastries and snacks, as well as rare daily necessities, folk handicrafts, in addition to on-site painting, paper-cutting artists, Meng Zhen put his own things on the stall in the west of the city, asked Wang Sanye to help watch, and walked around first.

She saw a lot of things she played with when she was a child, such as noodle figures, candy people, and woodcut toys, and now people are chasing after national things again, and many gadgets that have disappeared in people's lives for many years have reappeared in everyone's field of vision.

At the end of the day, I didn't sell much, but picked up a lot of snacks and handicrafts to come back.

For the first day's unhappiness, some villagers began to drum in their hearts, could it be that their things are not attractive and cannot be sold!

When I went back the next day, the enthusiasm of the people in the village was much less, but the children on vacation were clamoring to follow. Liu Jiajia still took the bus home in the evening as usual, Feng Xiaoyan saw that the gadgets that Sister Meng bought back were very interesting, so she announced that she would help Meng Zhen sell fruits the next day. Meng Zhen also smiled and agreed, not breaking her actual intentions.

Early in the morning, Zhoujiazhuang's truck carries a large number of goods, the people in the village sit in the back of the minibus, the children have no adult concerns, laughing all the way, chattering about eating this and playing that, but also climbing the mountain or something!

Today, Meng Zhen wore a casual denim suit, carrying a waist bag around his waist, and prepared a big straw hat in his hand. Now that Quancheng is beginning to enter early summer, as some netizens ridiculed, "Spring City cattle, people are like spring all year round; Quancheng is more bullish, and our spring is like four seasons! ”

After the spring snow, God seems to have forgotten to leave spring for Quancheng, and directly transitioned to early summer, the temperature is higher day by day, and the maximum temperature at noon sometimes reaches more than 30 degrees.

The temperature in the morning is not so high, but at noon, the sun is setting up a stall in the open air, and if you are not prepared, it is strange that you do not suffer from heat stroke. So Meng Zhen held a straw hat, and there was a parasol in the bamboo basket where the fruit was placed, she brought more fruits today, in addition to the strawberries left for netizens, she also prepared a lot of persimmons, she believed that today's temple fair must be very lively.

When they arrived at the destination, the young men in the village helped to move the goods to the designated stalls, and before they could pack up, customers began to come to the door.

Meng Zhen's persimmons, Wang Sanye's craft flower basket, and the tiger head shoes of the sixth grandmother are really very marketable, and they sold a lot after a while. Seeing this situation, Village Chief Meng was also a lot more steady, and the sparse passenger flow yesterday made him also worried. Originally, in order to take care of the villagers, Zhuangli finally won the stall of the temple fair, and then took out the wallet car, if there is no effect, all these efforts will be in vain, and he is not pleasing to spend money and effort.

People are very curious about the persimmon now, but look at the persimmon of other people's big size, the color is orange and red, just look at it and feel tempting, ask the price, one yuan a piece, at first glance it sounds a bit expensive, but look at the coconuts sold at the temple fair are also two yuan a piece. This big persimmon is smaller than a coconut, and it smells good, so someone tried to buy a few.

"Are you the 'Meng family's eldest girl'?"

Meng Zhen was busy loading persimmons for customers, and an uncertain male voice came from his ears.

She looked up, and the person who came was a man in his thirties, wearing sportswear and glasses, "Hello, you are from the altar?" I'm the 'Meng Family'! ”

Meng Zhen heard him call out his screen name in the forum, and felt that he should be a netizen of Quanshui.

"Yes, yes, I am the 'old farmer of the city', I didn't expect you to be the legendary new farmer of the city!"

Legend? Meng Zhen sweated profusely in his heart, and he himself became a legendary person? 1

"Hehe, it's me, by the way, I brought all the strawberries, how much do you want? There are two catties and five catties! ”

"Give me two five-pound ones, you don't know that our family is almost addicted to eating strawberries, you squeezed a few strawberries for the express delivery, and all the others were killed by my wife and son, and I didn't eat more than ten. Today, my wife sent a message, asking me to buy a ten-pound and eight-pound one, otherwise I won't be allowed to enter the door, hehe! ”

Meng Zhen smiled and handed him two five-pound fruit baskets, collected the money, and chatted with netizens.

"Sister Meng, phone!"

Feng Xiaoyan was sitting at the back of the stall, eating persimmons in her hands, and when she heard Meng Zhen's phone ringing, she hurriedly picked it up and handed it to her.

"Okay, thank you!"

Meng Zhen took the phone, it was Chen Xue, and pressed the call button: "Honey, are you here, have you arrived?" ”

"It's here, oh my God, why are there so many people, we turned around for a long time to find a parking space, and now it's at the east gate!"

"Okay, you wait there, I'll be right over."

Meng Zhen and Feng Xiaoyan explained that the persimmon is one yuan, the strawberry blue is 25 yuan, and the big blue is 50 yuan. asked her to help take care of the stall, and hurried to meet Chen Xue with a big straw hat.

"Oh, my ancestor, why are you dressed like this, didn't I tell you to dress up pretty?"

Chen Xue looked at Meng Zhen wearing simple jeans, with a fanny pack hanging around his waist like a hawker, and a super earthy straw hat on his head, and wanted to faint directly.

"Please, Xiaoxue, I'm here to sell fruits, if I don't dress like this, do I still have to wear a dress and wear heavy makeup?"

"Selling fruit?" Chen Xue rubbed her temples and asked her gloomily, "Do you know what day it is?" ”

"March 3rd temple fair!"

"Faint to death, today is a blind date-big meeting!"
