Chapter 6 A Little Try
When Wang Weidong rode for nearly an hour to the county farmers' market, he realized that the rural brother asked him to load vegetables and replace them with baskets.
The cart entered the farmer's market, and the good spots on both sides of the street were already crowded, so he had to park his bicycle outside.
Carefully poured the vegetables in the sack on the ground, and then laid out the sack, piled the vegetables on the sack according to the type, and after doing these things, Wang Weidong looked up and looked around, and found that the place he occupied was almost the largest among the dozens of people around.
The vast majority of people in the market are elderly, old men and old ladies who don't have to work in the countryside because of their age, like Grandma Wang Weidong.
They got up at four o'clock and picked some vegetables from their homes and took them to the market to sell, so the types and quantities of vegetables were less than Wang Weidong's.
Wang Weidong felt very cordial, after a few hours, his grandmother took himself to the countryside to go to relatives and those uncles and grandparents sat on the kang and chatted, those people looked at Wang Weidong wearing patched clothes and eating big cakes on the ground and always said with emotion: "They are really in time to catch up!" ”
Wang Weidong was squatting next to an old lady, with three or four catties of red and yellow tomatoes in a small basket.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the farmer's market - the toll collectors arrived. Two men wearing armbands began to collect money from stall to stall along both sides of the street.
Wang Weidong obviously felt the nervousness of the old lady beside her, and her two thin hands were groping on her thighs.
"Old lady, five cents!" The middle-aged man in his forties said to the old lady.
The old lady hurriedly stood up like a child who had done something wrong and said embarrassedly: "I, I didn't bring any money, can I hand it over when it's sold out?" ”
"Sell out and then hand it in? Will you wait here after selling? Ran away a long time ago! Hurry up and pay the money! The middle-aged man said impatiently. He didn't know how many times he had to encounter something like this every day.
The old lady put her hand in her trouser pocket and groped for a long time, took out two steel hammers, and said in embarrassment: "I really don't have any money, just two cents." ”
"Really?" The middle-aged man stared at the old lady with suspicion as if he were looking at a class enemy.
"Forget it, two points is better than letting you run!" The middle-aged man took two cents from the old lady's hand and said.
Next, the middle-aged man looked at Wang Weidong, Wang Weidong's face was very unfamiliar and young, and he was one of the few young people in the farmers' market.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said, "Young man, you occupy too much space, pay a dime!" ”
Wang Weidong obediently took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man, watching the middle-aged man leave.
There are three peaks in the farmers' market, morning, noon and evening, especially in the evening after the cadres and workers get off work. The second peak is in the morning, and many people wake up in the morning to go to the market to sell vegetables and then make breakfast.
Although the location was not good, Wang Weidong quickly sold four or five catties of tomatoes, two catties of radishes and two bundles of coriander.
But none of the three or four catties of tomatoes of the old lady next to her were sold.
Wang Weidong looked down at the tomatoes in the old lady's basket, one by one like red and yellow gemstones, without a little green, and in good condition, but no one bought them.
A few more people bought vegetables from Wang Weidong and left, Wang Weidong finally pondered the taste, these people who came to buy his vegetables squatted in front of him and picked the dishes again and again, and the old lady sold too few tomatoes to pick at all.
This is the psychology of man, only what he chooses by himself is good, so although the old lady sells all the tomatoes that are good, because there are too few, no one buys them.
The old lady watched with a blank eye as others came to buy Wang Weidong's dishes, but no one bought those tomatoes.
"Auntie, sell me your tomatoes, take the money and hurry home." Wang Weidong said.
The old lady looked at Wang Weidong suspiciously.
Wang Weidong put the tomatoes in the old lady's basket into the tray and picked up the weighing rod to show the old lady.
"Look at it, two and a half pounds, two cents and five!" Wang Weidong said. He was based on the selling price.
"Even if it's two cents!" The old lady said embarrassedly.
Wang Weidong took out two one-cent tickets and a five-cent steel hammer from his pocket and stuffed them into the old lady's hand.
"Thank you, young man!" The old lady said, and staggered away with her basket. There are still seven or eight miles from the county seat to the village, and the old lady has to walk for an hour.
Wang Weidong poured the tomatoes from the tray into the tomatoes on his sack. It didn't take long for the old lady's tomatoes to be picked out and bought by the vegetable sellers.
In the distance, the young man who was rolling on the ground with Wang Weidong yesterday and another young man stood together and looked at Wang Weidong who was squatting on the ground and selling vegetables.
The young man's round face was smiling, and the smile was sunny.
The young man looked at Wang Weidong in the distance with smiling eyes and asked, "Brother Chang, is that kid?" His courage is quite fat, dare to break ground on the emperor's head! ”
"Bastard, I lost face yesterday! Gotta get it back! The young man who fought with Wang Weidong gritted his teeth and said.
"Then what are you hesitating about, find a few people to go together, and he is full of parts!" The round-faced young man said.
This young man must have been a beloved child since he was a child, with a chubby face, and at first glance, he is a good child who listens to his parents and teachers since he was a child, and always likes to learn from his uncle to do good deeds.
Just now, when he said that he was looking for a few people to beat Wang Weidong, his tone was like helping the old lady cross the road.
Of course, he did help the old lady across the road, but he touched the old lady's pocket when the old lady was not looking.
"I'm going to clean him up with this kid! But we can't fight unprepared battles, you can touch the bottom of this kid for me first, and see if he has any background. Once I figured it out, I'll find someone to attack him! Brother Chang said.
He took out two yuan and handed it to the round-faced young man and said, "Tomorrow you will sell vegetables next to him, close to him, invite him to drink some at noon, and you must find out the bottom of this kid." ”
The round-faced young man took the two yuan and put it in his pocket and said with a smile: "Look, Brother Chang, listen to me tomorrow afternoon!" ”
Wang Weidong, who was in the distance, looked at the leftover vegetables on the sack, which was only one-fifth of the original, and he suddenly stood up and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's cheap, give money and sell it!" One dollar and all the dishes are round! ”
This voice is very historical, this is the first time in the history of the Beeshan County Farmers' Market that someone jumped off the building and sold it!
Ten minutes later, Wang Weidong had folded the sack, clamped it on the back seat of his bicycle, and rode out of the farmer's market.
The young man who fought with Wang Weidong yesterday touched his head and muttered to the bag who was beaten by Wang Weidong yesterday: "This kid really has two hits!" ”
