Chapter 68 Market Transactions
"Hey, brother! Can it be cheaper? If it could be cheaper, I'd have covered this car of eggplants! The younger brother suddenly looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance bargaining, so he hurriedly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it over with a smiling face: "Third brother!" Who should I be? Look at today's formation, it's really embarrassing for the little brother. You want a dish, why don't you know it in advance? Little brother, I'll send it to you personally! ”
Wuzi's words made the hawker in front of him feel excited, and as soon as his words fell, the hawker's voice picked up the conversation: "You kid has a flamboyant tongue, and his mouth is so sweet that he can speak!" If this mouth is not given in vain, I will rarely have a brother like you who can speak well. Otherwise, don't grow vegetables at home, while the business is good now, you can come over quickly, and I can mix the market with the third brother, maybe you can also mix a person like a dog, and be a boss to dominate the market, it's not bad! After a few half-truths and half-truths were thrown out, the other party was also unceremoniously, reached out to take the cigarette, pressed the lighter with a "snap", turned his face over, inhaled hard, shook his legs, and slowly spit out a string of gray-white smoke rings.
"Spare me! If I mess with you in the market, and I am scheming all day long, I am only a hundred or ten pounds, and I can be beaten away with one palm, and I can't afford to toss. Maybe one day you will be sold, I don't know where to get the money, I don't even have a partner now, you still let go of the little brother, such a good errand, or find someone else! Wuzi hurriedly lowered his head, lit the cigarette in his fingers, took a hard puff, squinted his eyes, and began to swallow the clouds and smoke.
"How do you speak? You're talking nonsense! Do you think of me as someone, is there such a black third brother as you? Isn't this a clear position to be beaten and no one pulls? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're good at kung fu, and you dare to make such jokes, aren't you afraid that I'll clean you up? Although this is a bit excessive, it can be regarded as lifting the third brother, I like it. Don't say it, if I really had that ability, I wouldn't eat this bowl of rice, and I would have been a diplomatic ambassador to the United Nations a long time ago. However, people thought I was uneducated and rude, and they didn't want to deal with me. God has given me a dream, he said that I was born to sell vegetables, and I can't do without weighing rods and scales for the rest of my life, and I have no choice but to resign myself to fate! The peddlers were talking nonsense, and the onlookers laughed and laughed together.
Everyone knows that this figure known as the third brother, don't look short, his appearance is not good, he is a tyrant in the vegetable market, famous far and wide, no one dares to mess with him. All vegetable farmers who come to open vegetables, regardless of whether the vegetables are good or bad, must pass his pass, otherwise it will be difficult to make a deal with him if he mixes them. To be able to say such words from his mouth today can be regarded as a heartfelt emotion. He seems to be very familiar with the five sons who are driving the car, and he calls him a brother and a brother, which makes people stunned when he hears it, which is really confusing.
"Pull it down, if you accept your fate, we will all have to drink the northwest wind. In the end, the third brother has a big face and a belly, and in the entire vegetable market, I won't accept the wall if it falls, so I'll serve you. Every time I come to the vegetable market, as long as there is a third brother covering, I am not afraid of anyone, you are my own brother! In the future, there are good dishes at home, as long as you are satisfied, I will be the first to send it to you! "Say good things along the way, and be straightforward and disgusting. The younger brother thought that in the future, he would have to rely on him to take care of his family's business, and so far, he really can't afford to offend this recognized third brother.
"Good! That's what it's called buddy! To say that planting and selling vegetables is not a human job, getting up early all day and being greedy for darkness will be tossed to death. But we are all good citizens of society, and we all support our families, so if we don't do this job, we can still steal and rob it! After the peddler finished speaking, he lit the cigarette in his hand, put it in his mouth, wrapped the cotton coat around his body, and turned his face to Xiaohong's mother.
"I'm not going to talk to you, I'd better do something serious this morning! Auntie, can you let it a little more, this price is a bit high, if you let it again, I will cover all this car of eggplant! He took a puff of cigarette, puffed out his cheeks, and two puffs of white smoke slowly erupted from his nostrils, and the peddler turned his face to Xiaohong's mother, and began to bargain again.
"This price is already the lowest price in the market. Just because we are old friends, I didn't give you a price increase. If it were someone else, he wouldn't be able to take a single bag. It's not easy for everyone, so don't push down the price anymore! The dishes on the car, we pick and choose, choose and choose, they are all first-class good dishes, in this market, there is no worry about selling. Cheap dishes are also available in the market, or you can look elsewhere! In the business field, shop around, Xiaohong's mother saw that he was grinding endlessly, and she was afraid that he would disturb the grocery shopping, so she wanted to take him away quickly.
"Auntie, don't you talk so deadly? In this world, the plan has not changed quickly, and the cover-ups are all buyers, am I just joking, and I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. How can you take it seriously at your age? With your old man's temper, you really have to say something well! The peddler smirked, as flattering as he could, and his eyes never took their eyes off the carriage.
"It's not that Auntie doesn't give you face, and no one in the entire market can give anyone a price. If you don't believe it, if you go around and ask around, is there a lower price in the whole market? Besides, all the eggplants in the field have been picked, and I am afraid that within three to five days, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter the city! There are goods and no worries about customers. If you want it, let's hurry up and unload the goods. Don't, I'll sell it to someone else, and no one will delay anyone, what do you think? The little red horse bit the price of vegetables very hard, and seemed to be not sentimental at all, and the hawker was afraid that he would not get such good goods, and he could not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but the more he wanted to grind and soak, the more unwilling people were to deal with him.
"Auntie, do you think I look like an errand person? As far as our relationship over the years, you can't let it go anymore? Let's let's let's go, let's make the two of us not buy and sell once or twice! The peddler continued to grind, and had no intention of leaving immediately. Because this car of eggplant is so easy to sell, you can make money by changing hands, how can he let it go.
"Young man, Auntie knows that you are not on a bad job, so don't blame Auntie for not letting go. You don't know that Auntie's house also has difficulties. There are old people in my family, and there are young people in my family. My two daughters are now in high school, and the second one just finished the college entrance examination this year, and her grades are not very good, and she still wants to participate in the social adult recruitment examination, but I don't know what she can do. The third child will go to the first year of high school at the beginning of school, don't look at this car of eggplants is inconspicuous, it is a considerable amount of tuition. There is no way to make money in the countryside, we don't grow vegetables for money, what do we take for our children to study! After Xiaohong's mother finished speaking, she stopped nagging, and the originally harmonious atmosphere became awkward.
The wandering peddlers listened to their mother's words, and although they did not dare to go forward, they circled around the carriage and never left.
This peddler, who was called the third brother by the fifth son, wrapped his coat tightly, held a cigarette in his mouth, crossed his legs in front of the carriage, frowned and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Okay then! But Auntie can't squat to the end at a fixed price, how much rebate is given, even if it is a little hard money for me, the business is not benevolent, and I have to communicate in the future, right? It's not difficult for me to be for you, you just raise your hand, say a suitable price, and I'll pay immediately. Mom listened to it and thought about it for a long time, she was ruthless, gritted her teeth, and finally nodded, the deal was closed.
"Doing business with someone like my aunt is just a pleasure. After unloading the car for a while, I will treat you to breakfast as a family of three! The peddler said, a smug smile on his face. However, he was not vain, he did want to entertain them.
"Thanks! The third brother, don't look at the rough branches, just pay attention to it. This meal will be waived, we will have to hurry in a while, and we will rest when we go home, and we will receive your wishes. Tomorrow there will be good food in the field, and I will bring it to you myself! Mixing with someone like the third brother is a long insight! Seeing that the deal was negotiated, the fifth son pinched his fingers and didn't suffer much loss, so he immediately gave a thumbs up with a hippie smile, and then fooled the third brother without being deep or shallow.
"I don't think you kid will praise blindly, I will be proud of the third brother. Hurry up, hurry up and help me unload the car! Let's come out early in the morning to mess around, it's not to earn more money to support our family. Do you know what's going on right now? It's Ma Yo to help me unload the car! The peddler took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and waved his hand to several big men to stand in front of the carriage, ready to unload it.
"Okay!" As he spoke, Wuzi put down the leather whip in his hand, took another puff of cigarette, and then strangled the cigarette butt to death, threw it to the side, he quickly climbed into the car, reached out to untie the rope of the cage car, and began to move the sack down from the car.
"Auntie, count again! Not enough, I'll add more! Here, the tall vendor took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted it in his hand, and handed it to Sun Xiaohong's mother.
"Enough, enough, not bad! Doing business with people like you doesn't drag on at all, and Auntie just earns a few less and has nothing to say. If you want any dishes in the future, say hello in advance, and I will definitely ask Wuzi to drive to bring it to you. Xiaohong's mother took the money, counted it carefully, and then put it in her pocket.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, just with our relationship for so many years, it's worth it with Auntie's words!" Although the third brother is a ruffian, he is still very particular about what he says and does. In other words, he's a good man.
Seeing that these people had removed the sacks full of eggplants, they returned the empty sacks in a short time.
To say that the third brother is really righteous enough, after unloading the car, he sent a young vendor, ran quickly to the street snacks, and specially bought three breakfasts and sent them over.
Xiaohong's mother took the hot packaging box and held it in her hand, which was also touching. At this time, the fifth son had already untied the reins of the horse, and after leading the big white horse to the front of the carriage and putting the carriage on it, Sun Guodong and Xiaohong's mother sat in the car, and while eating a boxed lunch, they watched the big white horse pull the carriage with great vigor and walk back slowly.
After Sun Guodong finished eating the food in the lunch box, he took the whip in the hands of his fifth son and continued to catch the car. Goko turned around and sat in the car and slowly ate a boxed lunch. Today's trip was a good seller, and although I made a little less money, I went home three or four hours earlier than usual.
After the fifth son finished eating the boxed lunch, he lay on his back on the car, he closed his eyes, and thought to himself: After returning home, he can finally sleep for a full morning, and no one will disturb his sweet dreams.
