Chapter Twenty-Three: The Town's Gathering

Time is like flowing water, and it is like an old turtle.

Say it's fast, in the blink of an eye, decades have passed.

It is said that it is slow, that it lives like years, and that it is tormented, like ants on a hot pan.

Just look at how people who walk in the long river of time feel it.

The time was just over a week, and it was Sunday, the day of the students' holiday, and it was also the day of the town's market.

Rural towns are underdeveloped due to commerce, but they have various needs for life.

These people who do small business, daily necessities, etc., together they set up stalls together, and they come to this town today, and they come to that town tomorrow, and so on, and the people in the town also know that there are many people selling things today, so they all come to buy things on this day, so a market is formed.

Of course, there are also some merchants who participate in a market because of their ability, income, etc.

Anmin Town, where Liu Jinxing is located, has the largest population in the vicinity, so Sunday is the day of the town and the market.

In later generations, although everything was usually sold in the town, it had become a habit to rush to the market, so the market in later generations was still prosperous.

It's just that with the increase in the number of people entering the city and the few people staying in the countryside, it will not seem as lively as before, but when it comes to the New Year, when people return to their hometowns and rush to the market, it is still crowded.

As soon as Li Fenghuan woke up Liu Jinxing in the morning, then took his tools and rode to the market.

The tool is a flat pole with two frames, then a small scale, and then there is a straw mat and a quilt.

"Mom, you wait for me here, I'll go in and get the greens." When he arrived at the door of Wu Qiwei's shop, Liu Jinxing asked his mother to wait and go to find Wu Qiwei by himself.

"I'll go in with you." Li Fenghuan said.

"No need Mom, it's not that you don't know, Wu Qiwei, it's better for you to see him rarely, otherwise you can be angry." It is also true that in addition to doing business, Wu Qiwei basically does not get along with Liu Yuanshan and them, even if they are together, they look superior.

"Okay, go in, I'll be waiting for you here." Li Fenghuan thought about it, and he really didn't want to see it, Wu Qiwei made a face.

"Okay, I'm in."

Liu Jinxing took the box and went, Liu Jinxing found Wu Qiwei, and then said, "Uncle Wei, my mother and I will start working today, so I will ask you to eat some food." ”

"Okay, how much do you want first?" Someone helped him share the burden, Wu Qiwei was of course happy, and Liu Jinxing's wholesale price was also very high.

"Ten bucks here." Liu Jinxing took out ten yuan and said.

Wu Qiwei glanced at the ten yuan, and then said, "Can you buy more?" ”

"I don't have any money at home, and you don't know it, and this can buy more than 50 catties, and we can't take it if we have more." Liu Jinxing does not have any money now, but it is not completely impossible to come up.

Liu Jinxing had good luck in the past two days, and he got another rabbit, and the first litter of rabbits has been born, and it has grown up, although it is not very big, but it is no problem to sell it.

And another female rabbit is also pregnant, plus Liu Liu Jinxing, and another female rabbit caught in, Liu Jinxing believes that soon, the rabbits in the space will breed.

Of course, Liu Jinxing will also catch some rabbits into the space, so as not to let the rabbits inbreeding, Liu Jinxing also knows that whether it is a human or an animal, close relatives must be bad, so there will be a chance of getting sick.

Liu Jinxing can completely catch a few rabbits from the space and sell them to Wu Qiwei, so that the money will increase again, but Liu Jinxing doesn't, he doesn't point to Wu Qiwei now, just eat a little food, and let his mother see and know.

"Okay." Wu Qiwei thought about it, anyway, he could make money by himself, and then said, "How much do you want green vegetables?" ”

"Bring me twenty pounds of cucumbers, twenty pounds of tomatoes, and give me celery for the rest." In Liu Jinxing's space, there are many of these things, and now this thing is also easy to sell.

"Okay, I'll give you a dime and eighty-one pounds." After Wu Qiwei finished speaking, he and Liu Jinxing began to weigh up.

Of course Liu Jinxing looked at it, he didn't buy much to be honest, of course he had to pick one, if Wu Qiwei took it, he would definitely put anything in it.

At the beginning, when the cucumbers and tomatoes were all twenty catties, they were not much to give, and if there were more, they would be taken out immediately and replaced with a small one.

But when it came to celery, there was a little bit of a problem.

Originally, Liu Jinxing didn't want to care, but Wu Qiwei's calculating appearance just now had already made Liu Jinxing angry, so he was not welcome.

Liu Jinxing looked at the celery on the scale and said, "Uncle Wei, isn't this right?" How could it be fifteen pounds of celery? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, I'll give you a dime, in this case, it's just fifty-five pounds, and of course celery is fifteen pounds." Wu Qiwei said after calculating the account.

"Uncle Wei, don't think I can't settle accounts, it's definitely not fifty-five catties, but more than half a catty of fifty-five catties." Liu Jinxing was not a scheming person.

But Wu Qiwei took advantage of this small advantage, he came to wholesale by himself, and if he didn't give it cheap, he would have to deduct a little bit, and Liu Jinxing would not do it at all.

"Okay, okay, give half a pound more and a little more." Wu Qiwei pretended to be generous and said, and then really took half a catty, estimated that he looked at a little more, and then took back a few celeries, and then said, "See, it's definitely high." ”

"You really know that." Liu Jinxing saw Wu Qiwei's actions, and pretended to admire, but the meaning of ridicule in his words was obvious.

You didn't give the slightest bit of cheapness, where did you come from the generosity, the business is budget-conscious, to this point?

"Hehe, doing business, of course you have to understand." Wu Qiwei didn't know if he understood it, Liu Jinxing's teasing, anyway, from Wu Qiwei's face, he couldn't see it at all, what was embarrassing.

Wu Qiwei does this business, and there is indeed nothing wrong with it, but there is no such thing, there is a little human touch to talk about, everything is based on interests, and if there is anything, it is all about money.

There are no so-called allies, betrayals and the like.

After that, Liu Jinxing put all the dishes in the box and gave the money to Wu Qiwei.

Liu Jinxing didn't forget to buy some plastic bags, after all, selling vegetables is also needed, if you calculate it like this, plus the money of plastic bags, he can't earn a penny from Wu Qiwei at all.

Liu Jinxing carried the frame with a flat pole and went out of the door.

"It's out." Li Fenghuan saw his son come out, so he took the flat shoulder, but he felt the green vegetables in the frame, so he said, "Is that all?" ”

These are quite a lot, but if you sell vegetables, the quantity is really not enough.

"Oh, I'll pick these first, let's find a place first, and then I'll pick again, I've negotiated everything, I'll come and pick it in a while." Liu Jinxing told his mother that he didn't want his mother to know what had just happened inside.

"Okay then." Li Fenghuan agreed when he heard it.

Then I went to the bazaar and found a location, this location is still relatively remote, because the location in the bazaar is still fixed to a certain extent, such as Liu Jinxing, which can only be sidelined.

And it's quite far from Wu Qiwei's position.

Now there are also small traders who are coming out of their stalls one after another, and they don't care when they see Liu Jinxing, after all, there are people coming and going in the big market, and some traders are also coming and going, which is normal.

Unless you have a relationship.

Li Fenghuan spread some straw mats on the ground, then spread a quick plastic sheet, then put tomatoes and cucumbers on top, and finally covered them with an old quilt.

This is the characteristic of this era, selling things, don't say anything unhygienic, it is good to be able to eat, and this is also no way, if you don't cover it, the vegetables will freeze for a while.

At least Liu Jinxing is sure that the quilt is old and not fake, but it is definitely clean, as for the hygiene standards of later generations, it is really difficult to meet for the current countryside.

The price Liu Jinxing has already agreed with his mother, it is all two cents, and his mother does not know the purchase price, Liu Jinxing only needs to let his mother know that his green vegetables are from Wu Qiwei, and it is enough.

It's not that Liu Jinxing doesn't want to sell more, but he already knew that now the price of vegetables in the countryside is there, and if you sell it high, no one will buy it at all.

So if you calculate it, Liu Jinxing and his mother can only make hard money when they buy food from Wu Qiwei, and if they lose some money, they may really lose money.

Selling vegetables in later generations, Liu Jinxing knew that there were some tricks to trick people, buying vegetables for one dollar, and selling them for one dollar, and then there was still loss of this green vegetables, so could this green vegetables still make money?

The answer is of course yes, adding water to green vegetables, in the name of maintaining the freshness of vegetables, does have some effect, but what about more?

Then the merchant steals some scales, and the profit comes out, but this is a business of people's flow, if you want to have repeat customers, it is not easy, unless your methods are good enough, and the customers are not smart enough.

But that's in the south, and if it's in the northeast in the summer, it's okay, but if it's in the winter, you can still do it, but if you sprinkle water on the vegetables, then your vegetables are all gone.

The temperature below zero, no water is a little better, if there is water, it will form ice ballast in ten minutes, and with the extension of time, what will become of this vegetable, then the result can also be imagined.

Here I want to say that when I buy vegetables in the Northeast, because of the conditions, I buy vegetables for ten catties and twenty catties, which is quite normal, because he wants to buy the least, a week to half a month, and some have to buy vegetables for a month, even if it is meat.

As for worrying about the spoilage of vegetables and meat, don't worry about this, the outdoor and warehouse is a natural large refrigerator, which is relatively sheltered from the wind and warm, that is, a room temperature refrigerator, so you don't have to worry about it breaking down at all, you only have to worry about freezing.

So it's the same for selling vegetables in the Northeast, if you buy a catty and a half of vegetables, some merchants are too lazy to take care of it, they are really too lazy to take care of it.

Of course, you have to buy, and the merchant sells, but relatively speaking.

Even in later generations, the bazaar was the equivalent of a small wholesale market.

Remember, it's a small wholesale market.
