68. The battle of the market mouth
Stand in the stall.
A few people were in a daze.
Behind them were two large baskets of turnips.
One basket is green radish and one basket is white radish.
Director Liao said that this was the rental fee for the young people before, so the matter of the stall being rented out should be over.
Wang Yi knew that it was not so simple.
The cruel words that the young man in green uniform left before leaving were not empty words.
These two large baskets of radishes are worth a lot, because now it has just passed the Qingming Festival, and the vegetables in the field have not yet come out, and the people rely on the same three things at the dinner table.
Potatoes, turnips, Chinese cabbage.
It is also called the three immortals of the earth.
The big basket of radishes is a serious bamboo basket, and one basket of radishes is worth two or three hundred.
The two young men are obviously not rich and noble, and they are willing to throw away these two baskets of radishes out of thin air?
They were obviously moving the rescuers.
But Bold didn't care, he squeezed his big fist and sneered: "Let them come, I just have an itchy fist and want to find someone to rub it!" ”
Wang Xianghong is not afraid.
He is the one who has seen red with bayonets on the battlefield, and now he still has a scar on his stomach.
Wang Yi is even more afraid.
He felt that among the few people present, his legs and feet were the most dexterous and the fastest!
In the end, the pressure was on Wang Dongmei and Wang Dongfeng......
Wang Dongmei put up the wooden plank he brought and hung up the meat, and at the same time hung up a sign that read 'Authentic Big Fat Pig'.
boldly took out the pig-killing knife and wiped it and began to shout: "The team has raised fat pigs for a year and a half, and those who want to eat fragrant fat meat hurry up!" ”
He shouted and then stopped moving.
Wang Yi said: "Why don't you shout? Hurry up and greet the guests. ”
Wang Dongfeng, who was cleaning up the knives next to him, said: "The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but we are afraid that no one will buy it?" ”
His words speak from experience.
Sure enough, within a few seconds of the pork being revealed, a woman came with a basket of groceries on her shoulder: "Master, how do you sell pork?" ”
boldly said: "Buy meat with a ticket, a piece of four dimes for a catty, fine grain stamps and meat stamps for five catties for a catty, coarse grain stamps and meat stamps for eight catties for a catty, cloth stamps for a foot for a catty, and the rest are counted!" ”
The woman said happily: "Fair price, okay, cut me two catties for three catties, cut three catties, cut this piece of pork belly for me." ”
Wang Yi doesn't know the current market price of pork, but it is not high depending on the meaning of women.
Wang Dongmei explained to him.
At present, the standard price set by the state for pork is one yuan and one catty, and this price is the price of major cities, and various regions can fluctuate up and down according to the situation, for example, the price of meat in the capital is one yuan and seven cents per catty.
There are very few pigs in Wengzhou City, and only a few pigs raised by farmers cannot meet the needs of the market, so they have to transfer meat from the inland agricultural and animal husbandry provinces to support, which makes their meat here more expensive.
Haifu County is the farthest county in the mainland, and it takes a lot of capacity to transport all kinds of goods by land, which makes their pork prices more expensive than Wengzhou and several other counties – the farther you go from the mainland, the more expensive it is.
Wang Xianghong They abide by the rules and sell them at the price set by the Haifu County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, in fact, it is difficult to buy this kind of meat normally, and if you want to eat pork, you have to go to the black market to buy bargaining meat, which is expensive, and it is no problem to double or even triple the price of a catty.
However, they set one yuan and four dimes not only for the sake of abiding by the law, but also because the places where meat is officially sold are graded, according to the fat and thin, old and young are divided into three levels, and the price of one yuan and four dimes in the regulations is actually first-class meat, such as pork belly and neck and back fat.
Tianya Island usually can't touch meat, so it's okay for them to kill a pig, but they can't do it if they separate the meat classification.
Therefore, they set the price of one yuan and four corners, and if they sold them separately, it was easy to chop and rot the meat, so they could only sell it according to the price of the scraps, which was not cost-effective.
Knowing the pork market on the outer islands, Wang Yi understood why Wang Xianghong did not allow him to share pork to the village.
It's too extravagant!
A pound of pork can be exchanged for more than ten pounds of coarse grains.
Pork is enjoyed in the city, and fishermen in the outer islands rely on coarse grains to fill their stomachs.
The price of one dollar and four dimes was obviously very popular, and they quickly lined up here.
Wang Yi helped settle the accounts.
No wonder Wang Xianghong wants to take him, selling pork is not only to calculate the price of pork, but also to calculate the exchange of various tickets.
This is a small point for Wang Yi, even the mental arithmetic plus pen arithmetic assistance, it doesn't take a few seconds every time.
Wang Xianghong smoked a cigarette and nodded with satisfaction: "To be literate is to do things neatly, in the past, Dazhao's father and Dongxi couldn't be counted together." ”
There are a lot of people, and Wang Zhuangyuan is coming.
He went directly to the stall and said with a grin: "My aunt gave me stew meat at noon, and I want two catties of meat!" ”
Boldly cut a piece of fat and well-proportioned hind leg meat, Wang Dongmei said, Wang Zhuangyuan tiptoed and said, "Big brother, give it to Gaogao." ”
At this time, the people in the back of the queue were not happy.
They all know that this meat is not graded, so the more they line up, the more they get wet, they can buy fatty meat, and the latter can only buy lean meat.
So they were unhappy to see someone cutting in line, and they complained and condemned Wang Zhuangyuan together.
Seeing this, Wang Xianghong hurriedly said: "Don't settle accounts with the baby, be bold, go back and go to the team to make up the accounts." ”
Hearing this, Wang Zhuangyuan picked up the meat and ran.
At this time, the people in line became even more angry, and they had already begun to point at their noses and scold: "What kind of fame are you doing? Not only do people cut the queue but also don't want money tickets? What's the matter, lick the leader's belly? ”
Daring's heart was impetuous after being busy, and his temper suddenly exploded when he was pointed at his nose and scolded.
He slapped the knife on the board and yelled, "What are you yelling about? That's my cub just now, he called me my dad and I called him son so he didn't have to line up and didn't have to give money tickets, and you guys did the same? That's the same way, then I'll treat it the same! ”
Hearing this, the team's insults and complaints were much quieter.
And a middle-aged man with a vegetable face did not hesitate to come up and say, "Dad, Dad! ”
Bold froze.
Wang Dongmei looked at Wang Xianghong in a panic.
The lined up line was silent.
Wang Yi took the knife in his bold hand and cut off a piece casually, wrapped it in oiled paper and stuffed it into the middle-aged man, pulled him and said, "Go, go quickly." ”
The middle-aged man looked indifferent but lowered his head, and was pulled out by him.
Inside, they looked at the people in line in horror.
Several people are on the move!
Wang Xianghong's face sank and he replaced him, and someone asked, "Old comrade, are you the father of that comrade just now?" ”
"I'm not, don't get me wrong, don't talk nonsense!" Wang Xianghong hurriedly denied it, "It's useless for you to call me grandpa." ”
Wang Yi took the man out of the market.
The man bowed his head and said, "Thank you." ”
The bitterness in it is only self-aware.
Wang Yi had change in his pocket, he took out a piece and handed it to this person, and said: "Life is not easy now, it will be better in two years, or go south, go to Yangcheng or Pengcheng, where there is fast development and many opportunities." ”
The man nodded, took the dollar and thanked him again.
Wang Yi looked at the back of him leaving, and felt that his previous life was not difficult.
People who are really difficult can't even speak up for themselves, and they can't put themselves under the gaze of many people, they can only suffer silently by themselves.
When he came out, he took a turn by the way, found a small miscellaneous room, and saw that there was no one around, he unlocked the door and entered the space-time house, and equipped the anti-wolf spray and self-defense electric baton that he had prepared before.
When he returned to the market stall, Wang Xianghong and the others were busy: "Mr. Wang, what are you doing?" Why did you come back so slowly? ”
Wang Yi said: "Go to the toilet." ”
The pork sold very well, the pig's head, pig's feet, pork stick bones, etc. were sold, and in the end only some ribs remained.
The price of pork ribs was low, and it only cost five dimes, so Wang Yi bought it himself.
People in these days are reluctant to ask for pork ribs, not only because they have bones but also have no fat, so they can only stew and eat them when they bring them back - braised pork ribs are too luxurious, and not many people are willing to make pork and put sugar, which is regarded as a waste.
It was not yet noon.
"It's good, I thought I would have to wait until the lunch group to sell out." ”
Wang Dongmei looked at the problem more deeply: "Now the people in the city seem to be richer, and they are more willing to eat than in the previous two years." ”
Wang Xianghong said: "It has nothing to do with us, do you dare to leave your relatives?" Then let's go back first. ”
boldly said: "I'll go to my aunt's house for a meal, you go back first, and I'll see whose boat is convenient to take when the time comes." ”
As they were talking about packing their things, they happened to push two carts, two large baskets of radishes were heavy, and one cart pushed one basket.
The pork sold smoothly and two baskets of radishes were harvested, and the group felt comfortable, talking and laughing and preparing to go home.
Then the entrance to the market was blocked.
More than a dozen young men lined up in front of the door, and the people who came to buy vegetables could only walk briskly from both sides in fear.
Wang Yi couldn't walk.
Indeed, the good youth and the green uniform youth are in it.
Seeing them appear, the young man pointed to a bald head and said, "Brother Tiger, it's them, it's him who beat me!" ”
The bald head is wearing a military coat and leather shoes, and a pair of sunglasses on his face, which is very non-mainstream.
He slowly took off his sunglasses to reveal the scar that swept towards his forehead from the corner of his eye, his eyes were cold and expressionless, and he didn't say anything but glanced up and down at the group.
Wang Xianghong didn't take these people seriously at all: "Good dogs don't get in the way, get out!" ”
A row of people was furious, and some young men clenched their fists and made a sound like fried beans, as if they were about to do it.
Wang Yi put his hands in his pockets.
Spray with a flashstick in your left hand and spray with your right hand.
Grab with both hands, and be hard with both hands!
People in this era are still very innocent and enthusiastic, and when they saw someone bullying rural people, some people called the police angrily.
But he had found the wrong policeman.
He was looking for a traffic policeman at the intersection not far from the market.
The traffic police turned their heads and found that there was a vicious battle at the entrance of the collective market, so they immediately put on a big-brimmed hat and ran.
Run fast.
Seeing this, these people smiled proudly.
The cold big brother waved his hand, and more than a dozen people came up like tigers and wolves.
Wang Xianghong stepped forward to block Wang Yi, and looked at the stall on the Splash Island next to him with the corner of his eye.
There are long wooden sticks on the stalls, which are the wooden handles of shovels, hoes and other agricultural tools.
The length was similar to that of a mending gun with a bayonet attached.
It is a sharp weapon for fighting bayonets.
As a result, the two people on the side of Splash Island quickly cleaned up the things on the stall.
The cold big brother suddenly shouted: "Give it to me!" ”
A group of people pounced in an arc like a tiger descending from a mountain.
The green uniform was eager for revenge and wanted to quickly regain face, he pointed at Wang Xianghong and was ready to fight the old one.
As a result, Wang Xianghong stepped forward and grabbed the neck of the fastest young man, swung his fist and smashed him under the ribs.
Shoot steadily and accurately!
Seeing this, the green military uniform decisively turned his finger and pointed at Wang Yi and shouted: "I'll hit that little white face!" ”
He walked as fast as he flew into the air, jumping up and kicking.
Wang Yi slid sideways to avoid the flying kick, and the green uniform staggered to the ground, and he caught up with it in three steps and two steps.
The green military uniform has a lot of experience in fighting, and when he saw the four roads, he immediately closed up and prepared to resist the attack and thought of a counterattack strategy: take a punch from this little white face and then beat him into a big flower face at close range!
The little white face can't fight, and instead of punching, he waved his hand and swept up!
The green military uniform sneered: the girls are embarrassed......
As soon as this thought came to him, he trembled and rolled his eyes, opened his mouth and let out an uncontrollable cry: "Ahhhhh ”
