Chapter 12 Try planting cucumbers
At 7 o'clock the next day, I delivered the fish to the convenience market on time, and the bearded man had been waiting for a long time. Those dozen baskets of fish were enough to supply him, and more than enough. The only downside was that the tricycle was too small, and I ran six more times.
Something unexpected happened.
After I finished delivering the last cart of fish, I was settling the bill with the bearded man, and a middle-aged woman came over.
"Which fishery, young man, is this? Can you send me some? ”
"Specialty fishing grounds, friend's, I'll help him sell them. Auntie wants, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”
The bearded man was upset when he heard it.
"Eldest sister, let's sell our own ones, so we can't go to our stall to grab business. I'm buddies with this little brother, and he doesn't have many fish, so it's difficult for me to provide for a household, so don't rob it. You sell your fish, and you sell well! ”
I noticed that the middle-aged woman's fish stall was only about 10 meters away from the beard. When I went around the tank two days ago, there weren't many fish left in her fish tank, and it was okay to see how it sold.
In the past two days, business seems to have been a little worse, and I suspect that the bearded man has robbed her of her business.
The middle-aged woman was not to be outdone, "I said beard, I didn't steal customers from you, I just wanted to buy some fish from my little brother, how can it be regarded as robbing your business?" Just now, the little brother also said, send me some fish, how do you say that people have few fish? Which fishery can't supply eight out of ten? Isn't it, little brother? ”
A paragraph choked on the beard and had nothing to say. I understood, the bearded man was worried that the middle-aged woman who had eaten my fish would affect his business, and don't forget that my fish was delicious.
Seeing that I have no opinion, the bearded man is not good at stopping me.
I persuaded: "Big brother, harmony makes money, everyone earns money, we can't eat alone." Besides, I can't sell much of this fish with you alone! ”
The bearded man was not happy and silent, so he obediently watched me go to negotiate with the middle-aged woman.
This aunt was also like the bearded woman at the beginning, and she didn't dare to enter too much at once, so she put a few buckets on it to see that the fish in the basket could still make up one or three rounds, so I gave it to her.
At the checkout, I found out that the aunt was paying a higher price than the bearded one. I understood in my heart that the bearded man slaughtered me, and he bullied me for not understanding the market. But it doesn't matter, I won't break this matter, with a middle-aged woman competing with him, presumably he won't lower the price for me again.
Fairness is evident only when competition is introduced.
It turns out that the middle-aged woman made the right choice. Before 11 o'clock, she called me, sent her another trough at noon, and said that when she had sold out her previous fish, she would only get my family's fish.
Of course, I was asked to do it immediately. The bearded fish was sold slowly, but at his request I made up for him.
The middle-aged woman secretly told me that the bearded man occupied the entrance of the mall, and by virtue of the location, the fish was sold faster than the stalls inside. But he also slaughtered people very well, and familiar customers knew that in fairness, the bearded scale rod was not as good as any of them.
You can't just look at appearances. I don't care about the rhetoric of middle-aged women, whoever buys my fish will give the money, it has nothing to do with character.
The bearded man also had a little Jiujiu in his heart, and he was a little reluctant to learn that the fish price given by the middle-aged woman was high, so he finally said it out to make up for the difference in the price of the two days.
I'm very generous, forget the previous one, and the price will be the same in the future. The bearded man smiled again, and even said that I was a good person, and he was embarrassed to care about me selling fish to middle-aged women.
People want to be greedy for small gains, but they just want him to understand that the advantage is in the clear place, and he can't treat others as fools.
Before leaving the convenience market, I told the two of them that they would go back to their hometown tomorrow, and they could only deliver fish once in the morning, not at noon.
The middle-aged woman didn't say anything, the bearded man hesitated a little, and finally said something, call if you have something.
When I got back to the site, I took a look around the site. Since Manager Yao left me to guard the construction site, I always have to do my duty.
When I was about to return to the tin house to rest, I met Manager Yao and Bai Luoxue, who came out of the unfinished building.
I just took this opportunity to ask Manager Yao for a leave.
"Manager Yao, I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Manager Yao agreed very happily.
"It's okay, it's time to go back, just tell Lao Wang and them, and look at your parents. I heard that you don't have a partner yet, so by the way, go on a blind date, and settle the family affairs as soon as possible, so that your parents can rest assured. ”
Bai Luoxue, who was still serious just now, smiled.
"Have you seen it, how good the leader is, he cares about his subordinates, and he doesn't forget to tell him to go on a blind date when he goes home to visit his relatives, so as to save being a single, and the leader's face is dull."
I was a little overwhelmed and just took a leave of absence. Manager Yao is too, why mention the blind date? The key is in front of the snow. I'm embarrassed, they don't care at all.
"Ah...... Ha! Thank you for your concern, go home and ask your parents to see if there is a girl waiting for me who wants to go on a blind date. ”
My self-deprecation amused the two of them, especially Bai Luoxue, who laughed uncontrollably. In my impression, he was next to Manager Yao, in front of the workers, and basically did not smile. Could it be that I looked very handsome when I was wearing new clothes yesterday, and I was not defensive?
"Don't forget to bring some gifts to your parents when you go home, the fish you recommended is good, I bought one yesterday, the family is full of praise, and my daughter is shouting that I want to eat it today, and I have to buy it."
Manager Yao mentioned fish.
Bai Luoxue immediately added.
"I bought it yesterday, and my parents still want to eat it, and I have to buy it today, because I want to eat it too. I suspect there's something wrong with this fish. ”
I chuckled in my heart, what's the problem? They said that I seem to have a similar feeling, but fortunately, I have never broken the fish with Master Gao in the past few days, so I don't feel so special about eating. As soon as Bai Luoxue said this, I also began to wonder, is there really something wrong with that fish?
Seeing that I was stunned, Bai Luoxue laughed again, "I mean, that fish is addictive, suitable for all ages." Medical studies have shown that eating more fish is good for the body. Go buy two! ”
Of course, I didn't need to buy it, but their words reminded me that I would definitely be happy with my father and mother when I went home.
The two walked side by side. Looking at their backs, first envious, then disappointed, I wanted to take the place of Manager Yao, and I was beside Bai Luoxue.
After saying hello to Master Gao and telling him that I was going back to my hometown tomorrow, I went to the mall to buy some gifts for my parents.
Dinner with the three old men was as usual, and there was still fish on the table.
When entering the space to fetch fish, there was another amazing discovery. All the cucumber seeds planted yesterday have grown, not just broken the ground and sprouted, and the melon seedlings climbed on the bamboo pole frame and bloomed small yellow flowers.
It's only been a day, and it's growing fast. I understand that in this alien dimension, these phenomena cannot be understood in a conventional way.
Since the seedlings were able to survive, I simply planted a dozen more cucumber seeds.
