Chapter 0018: Fruit Seller

The old man said to Xia Jian a little mysteriously: "I see that you just came out of the construction site, want to find a mixed rice to make a living, from here past three streets, there is a Jingyuan fruit wholesale point, where can you go every morning, you are strong, you can wholesale two blues, and then go to the door of each community to sell, make a lot of money in a day?" The old man spoke in a voice that was so small that he could barely hear it.

That's a good thing! It's easier than doing small jobs on a construction site! With this information, Xia Jian didn't dare to slack off at all, he was afraid that the two hundred yuan in his pocket wouldn't last a few days.

When there were more people exercising in the morning on both sides of the embankment, Xia Jian had already washed his face in the public toilet, and waited for the clothes store on the street to open, buy two clean clothes, and he would go to the Jingyuan Fruit Wholesale Market to find out.

The life of the city people is really fast, and when the alarm clock in the civic square has just struck seven times, someone has already opened the door in the clothes shop on the street. Xia Jian asked cheaply, and the shopkeeper saw that he didn't have much money, so he didn't ask for a price indiscriminately, a short shirt and a pair of pants, forty-two yuan was done.

After eating a bowl of noodles at the stall and settling his stomach a little, Xia Jian didn't care about the hard work of walking all night, and went straight to the Jingyuan Fruit Wholesale Market.

In the city, every inch of land is valuable, although it is a market, it is only a street of forty or fifty meters, and there are dozens of fruit wholesale stores named so-and-so on both sides of the street, and there are all kinds of fruits in the store, which seem to be not only wholesale but also retail sales.

Xia Jian remembered the old man's words, and did not let him find these stores to go directly to wholesale, but waited for the fruit truck to transport fruit every morning, and only those who were wholesaled from the fruit cart could make a profit.

For a whole day, Xia Jian walked around the Jingyuan Fruit Wholesale Market, came and went, and talked to the workers who worked in small jobs, there was a middle-aged man who was also from their Pingyang Town, just the so-called fellow to see the fellow, two tears in his eyes, the countryman's surname was Gong, he was here to help his relatives work, and the salary was not very high in a month, but it was also easy.

When Lao Gong heard that the kid in front of him was Xia Jian from Xiping Village, he couldn't believe it, when he returned to his hometown a few years ago, he often heard the people in the village talk about how Xia Jian was mixed, and the people in the village didn't dare to mess with him.

Lao Gong heard that Xia Jian wanted to sell fruits, and strongly supported him, and under his guarantee, he got a pedal tricycle from his relatives, but the premise was that every morning, Xia Jian must wholesale his family's fruits, in order to achieve the goal, Xia Jian was full of promises, he felt that his bad luck had passed.

At night, Xia Jian made a difficulty, the car is available, and the fruit wholesale point has been negotiated, but where do you live at night? Can't go to a hotel again! This is less than a day, and the two hundred yuan in the pocket is only more than one hundred and twenty, which is the cost of wholesale fruit tomorrow!

Lao Gong is really a good person, he has been accompanying Xia Jian to practice tricycle after work, don't look at this thing is simple, it is much more difficult than riding a bicycle, this is Xia Jian's understanding, fortunately, the emperor pays off, when the people on the scenery on both sides of the river are about to disperse, Xia Jian can already drive a tricycle alone.

Lao Gong wiped the sweat on his face, and asked with a smile: "You kid patronizes the car practice, where do you live this night?" “

"That's it, sleeping on a tricycle, blowing the river wind, it's much more comfortable than staying in a hotel, do you say no" Xia Jianyi was anxious, and said this by the way, but he felt that he could only do this.

Lao Gong scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I really can't help you with this residence, first, I live in a relative's house, and secondly, this relative usually doesn't give me money, and I don't settle the bill until the end of the year."

"Okay, Lao Gong, you've done me a great favor, don't say more, go back quickly! I have to get up early tomorrow morning to work" Xia Jian interrupted Lao Gong's words and pushed him away, it's good to have this fellow countryman, Xia Jian's heart is very relaxed.

Lao Gong smiled, turned around and just took a step, stopped again and said: "You put the car against the wall, it is very windy in the Tao River this night, be careful of catching a cold" Looking at the distant Lao Gong, Xia Jian was very moved, it seems that there are still many good people in this world.

Leaned the tricycle against the wall on the river embankment, Xia Jian lay down, a young man with five big and three thick, it must be uncomfortable to lie in the tricycle, but there is no way.

Listening to the sound of the river, Xia Jian remembered the name of this beautiful river, "Tao River"

I didn't sleep very comfortably all night, and I was woken up by a pair of dog men and women in the middle of the night, from their conversation, Xia Jian heard that these two people were messing around outside behind their families, just mess around, just mess around, just mess with the wild dog who is cheating.

The early morning wind blew a chill on the body, only to feel that Xia Jian, who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes from the cold, he got up in a hurry, only to feel that this waist was about to break, it seems that sleeping on this tricycle is really not the same thing.

When Xia Jian rode a tricycle to Jingyuan Fruit Wholesale Market, there was already a lively scene of people boiling, busy traffic, and a lively scene. Xia Jian didn't care about the excitement, which fruit shop in Lao Gong went to Dong.

may be related to Lao Gong, the wholesale price given by the shopkeeper to Xia Jian is a dime lower than that of others, which makes Xia Jian even more grateful to Lao Gong in his heart. More than 200 catties of apples have spent all the money on Xia Jian, and his mood is heavier than stepping on a tricycle, what if he sells at a loss?

Unconsciously, Xia Jian had ridden a few streets, stopped at the gate of a community called "Qingshui Yuan", opened the plastic sheet covered with apples, and took out a pole scale, which looked like a businessman.

Seeing a woman in gorgeous clothes walk out, Xia Jian mustered up the courage to shout: "Fresh apples, one yuan per catty, taste and buy, not sweet and don't need money" This was all taught to him by Lao Gong.

The woman twisted her thin waist like a water snake, glanced at Xia Jian and said, "It's really eyeless, I bought apples early in the morning, and you let me carry them to work?" “

was poured cold water at the beginning, Xia Jian was very discouraged, he really didn't know who should do this business to.

"Alas! Fruit seller, how do you sell this apple? Looks pretty good, huh? Just when Xia Jian was in a daze, a voice like a silver bell sounded beside him.

Xia Jian raised his head fiercely, heh! It's so beautiful, I saw a young woman of twenty-three or fourteen years old, dressed in a black suit, a white shirt, and suitable clothes, outlining the woman's beautiful figure. The woman smiled and threw her ear-length hair back, the action was simply mesmerizing.

"Alas! Ask you, what's the fuss? The woman snorted softly, grabbing the apple from the car in her hand.

Xia Jian woke up from a dream, and hurriedly replied: "One yuan and one catty, taste and buy, don't give money if it's not sweet."

The woman picked out a plastic bag and nodded at Xia Jian: "Weigh five catties!" If it's really delicious, I'll buy it from you next time."

Xia Jian didn't dare to bother anymore, picked up the scale, which action was simply stupid, finally weighed the scale, when the woman paid, she said with a smile: "Apple seller, come down and practice your skills more, if you scale like this, the business will lose money."

Loss, impossible! I didn't give more than one or two! Isn't it exactly five pounds? Xia Jian couldn't understand the deep meaning of this woman. But then it's okay, which uncles and aunts who exercise in the morning, when they come back, they see that someone has pushed the apple to the door of the community, and some people will buy a few catties. One morning, Xia Jian's more than 200 catties of apples were almost finished, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, Xia Jian took out the money in his pocket and counted it, more than 100 yuan, in addition to the capital of more than 120 yuan, as well as the apples in the car, at least he could buy more than 10 yuan, which earned 60 or 70 yuan in less than a day, which is much more than what can be earned on the construction site.

"Apple seller, it's selling well! You occupy the place at the entrance of my community, affecting the safety of vehicle travel, I didn't drive you away, you should always say it! Xia Jian, who was busy counting money, turned around sharply and saw a security guard in his forties and fifties standing behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, what does this mean?

The security guard didn't wait for Xia Jian to speak, picked out a bag of apples, saw that there was no one around, picked it up and left.

The anger in Xia Jian's heart suddenly ignited, damn it, there is still this kind of thing in the world, Lao Tzu sells some water apples, and he has to be bullied, it really makes no sense.

Should he catch up, or bear with it, Xia Jian ran out of ideas for a while.
