Chapter 731: Abu the Peddler
Abu, a peddler with a big nose, small eyes, and a short stature, who looks like he is always smiling humbly, has been standing outside the building, which is said to be a "supermarket", for quite some time.
Specifically, he had come in the morning when the dew had not dried much, and now the sun hanging in the sky had begun to burn and burn.
A few decades ago, there was a small cloth seller who made a living by trafficking some inferior cloth back and forth between several villages and towns, and after having a son, he named his son "Abu" with hope, hoping that when he grew up, he would also have the talent to become a small cloth seller.
Abu lived up to his father's expectations and became a veritable grocer not only as a cloth seller, but also as a dealer in other things. - The gods are above, this is really not an easy task! I don't make much copper plates, but the people I know are more than simple cloth sellers.
Although he was only the most inconspicuous small grocer, Abu had traveled through dozens of towns, six or seven cities, and two large cities, Giant Rock City and Linhai City! Although he had been beaten many times, lost his goods many times, and even almost slaughtered a few times, Abu had in fact always been proud of his experience.
Even those high-ranking warriors and magicians, many of them are inferior to him, and they have been to so many places!
But Abu had never seen such a big place to sell things, never! God, this place called "supermarket" was so big that he couldn't believe that it was a place to sell things!
There were gradually many people, there were magicians, warriors, and many ordinary people like him, especially when he saw that many ordinary people were also pouring towards the entrance, Abu no longer hesitated. Followed.
They didn't walk long, and almost not far from the entrance, there was a hill-like thing. - Abu later learned that several entrances to this hypermarket were like this, and the things called "mosquito coils" were piled up into a mountain.
This should be the "mosquito coil", at this time, Abu thought to himself.
There was a group of warrior men standing in front of the hill, each of them with a wide strip of cloth wrapped around his left shoulder. It looks very eye-catching.
This should be the person who sells the goods, no, no, Abu has already seen by this time, there are several such big men pulling out a few flat things from the side of the hill. Handed it to the person who stood in the same direction as him, it should be the person who bought this "mosquito coil".
Look again. Abu saw a large wooden box. Not far from the feet of those big men, there were already a lot of copper plates, silver coins, and even gold coins in the big wooden box!
Those gold coins must have been left by the magician, and Abu thought to himself, most people don't use gold coins to buy things.
"This ...... 'mosquito coil'. This is a 'mosquito coil', right????" Abu heard someone at the front of the line ask. I didn't see the person clearly, but Abu knew that the person he asked was not a magician, but a warrior. Ordinary people like him should not dare to ask such a question.
Sure enough, the next thing Abu heard a big man with a strip of cloth wrapped around his shoulder reply respectfully: "Sir, yes, this is a mosquito coil, there are large boxes and small boxes, the big box contains forty sticks, which can be used for a month, and the small box contains ten sticks. The small box is a box of three copper coins, and the large box is a box of ten copper coins. Sir, do you want a big box or a small box?"
So cheap!
This was Abu's first reaction when he heard this.
God, how could such an amazing thing be so cheap?
It's no wonder that Abu was surprised or even surprised, you know, as a vendor, after hearing such a thing as "mosquito coils", Abu thought about how much such a thing would sell for, and at that time, all he thought about was how many silver coins he wanted.
Forty can be used for a whole month, only ten copper plates? Isn't that one gold coin enough to buy a whole hundred boxes? It takes three months at most a year, that is, only thirty copper plates? God, even those small villages, every family can afford to use them!
Abu thought quickly in his heart, but listened to the man before him: "Just the big box, bring me ten boxes." ”
"Yes, sir, please take it!"
Ten boxes were handed out, and at the same time, a silver coin fell into the large wooden box.
Abu stood behind and watched, and slowly, he found that because the price was very cheap, everyone who stepped forward bought it, but the amount was more or less, and the people who bought it were guided by those big men to go out from the other direction.
Because there was no one to urge and no one to watch, Abu stood at the back of the crowd all the time, did not go to the front, and waited there.
Slowly, the sky entered the middle, into the bottom, into the night, and the number of people who came in became less and less, until a certain time later, no one came in, it is estimated that there were people blocking the entrance, not allowing them to enter, and at this time, the people who bought mosquito coils also walked almost away.
Abu found that he was not the only one who was left behind, but dozens of him, some of whom were clearly known at a glance to be peddlers like him.
The big men didn't seem surprised, but asked very gently, "We're closing, guys, do you have anything to ask?"
Abu swore that in his life, he had never seen a martial artist speak so politely!
At this time, several people were swallowing, but in the end, one person asked: "We, no...... Me, I...... I would like to ask, this mosquito coil, we ...... Can I sell it?"
This is definitely a peddler like him!
Abu clearly saw that when he said this, the legs of this colleague were trembling, and it was probably not that he was afraid, but nervous or something. In fact, it was Abu himself, his heart was pounding, and his palms were sweaty.
"Selling, okay!" a big man smiled, "But not within Yanhuang City, all the towns below, we are all delivering, and private sales are not allowed." Can you sell mosquito coils to other places? We don't care about other places, and we can give you the goods. ”
"Out-of-town...... I can deliver the goods to you. Abu heard these words clearly, and his heart was tense at that time, and then, with hot blood, he felt dizzy, "Yes, they said it was okay to ......."
No one left, and Abu noticed that a few people were visibly gritting their teeth, but still stayed.
"You're lucky that someone wants to meet you and hear what you think. Another big man said, and then, in a state of dizziness, Abu and a group of people, following these big men, left the hypermarket.
It was early in the morning, but there was a moon, and it didn't look too dark, and after a long time they were taken to the edge of the great river in the city.
The thing called the windmill was blowing, and a teenager was standing there quietly.
"Little brother, someone really said today that they want to sell mosquito coils, and everyone brought them. Abu saw another big man leading them, approached them, and said to the young man.
Abu had been dizzy, and at this time, when he was blown by the windmill, not only did he not wake up, but he had a feeling that he was not able to stand firmly, and then, until he left, he was always dizzy.
In fact, it's like a dream.
Somehow, I don't know where it started, anyway, the conversation opened up like that, and the boy asked them a lot of things, sometimes all of them together, sometimes separately one by one, Abu was also asked, in fact, everyone was asked.
He only remembers that under the young man's questioning, he said a lot, such as his father, who had been gone for many years, such as how he sold things, where he collected them, where he sold them, what things he sold, what things he sell, what things he sells, what things are good to sell, which ones are not good to sell, how much money can be made, and what losses will be.
Somehow, as soon as the young man asked, Abu answered, and even some things that he didn't ask, Abu said, for example, that he had been beaten many times.
These things that can only be endured and held in the heart in the past, at this time, I don't know what happened, Abu said happily, and after speaking, the whole heart felt a lot more comfortable.
This little adult, although he is small, is a good person, I am so verbose, and I said a lot of things that should not be said, he is not a little impatient.
When he was sent away, Abu thought to himself, and then he was thinking about another thing at the same time, who is this young man? I heard that the city lord is only a teenager, what is the relationship between this young man and the city lord? Sure enough, the sons of God are all good people! (To be continued......
