Facing the old man's question, Ji Yuanhai nodded.

When the old man heard this, he looked at Ji Yuanhai, and then at the two girls behind him, guessing that this was his classmate and friend.

"It's better to go to school than to rush into business...... I saw that you have a good hand in raising flowers and make money, and I thought you were going to devote yourself to business and couldn't wait to make money. ”

"If you read more and study more when you are a teenager, you will be able to avoid many detours in the future."

sighed with emotion, and asked Ji Yuanhai what school it was.

"It's a provincial university." Ji Yuanhai replied.

The old man nodded approvingly: "The provincial university is good, it seems that you are also very attentive to your studies." ”

"Quite good at growing flowers...... Well, today I originally wanted to buy a pot of Longchangsu to remember the past, for the sake of the young man's hard work, I bought an extra pot to support you to go to school and study hard. ”

Hearing this, Ji Yuanhai hurriedly said, "You don't have to be like this! ”

"The money I earned today is enough, and I have earned all my tuition, books, and living expenses."

"If you only want to buy a pot, buy a pot; Don't spend any other unnecessary money on me. ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You are really not suitable for business, and you still have a nerd spirit on you!" ”

"Look at a merchant who is not willing to slip a penny out of his face; You still take the initiative to refuse? If a person like you is in business, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you lose money and you won't even be able to do business. ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "You're right, I'm really not capable enough. ”

"It's almost enough to make money."

"It's okay, it's rare that you're not greedy." The old man turned his head to the young man who was supporting him and said, "Yue Feng, bring me that pot of Longchangsu and pay this young man." ”

The young man named Yue Feng nodded, paid Ji Yuanhai, and picked up Long Changsu, who the old man had seen just now: "Grandpa, let's go back?" ”

The old man nodded, and the two got into the car and left.

When they left, Wang Zhuyun whispered: "This old man must be an old cadre, and his level will not be too low." ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded, thinking: Look at his age, listen to his accent, the people over there in Sichuan and Shu ...... That's not a small story.

Today, he should have accidentally seen an orchid brought by someone and sold by Ji Yuanhai, so he came to buy a pot in person.

This "come and buy it in person" should also be considered.

A person of his status has a lot of resources, prestige and influence.

If you accept a pot of orchids from someone today, your yard may be full of orchids tomorrow, and I don't know how many people are trying to please him...... And he himself came in the afternoon to buy a pot and go home, which was a very private and hidden thing, so as not to cause such trouble.

Seeing Ji Yuanhai sell another pot of flowers, and selling it to someone with an unusual status, the "Brother Shan" who was closing the stall on the side no longer had any intention of envy and jealousy.

Let's go, let's go.

I really can't stand it, and if I look at it twice, I won't be able to sleep tonight.

"Brother Shan" hurriedly cleaned up his stall and rode away on a small tricycle.

The Cantonese starling was on the tricycle, and he kept chanting in Cantonese: "Lucky stars, hello everyone, good evening......"

As soon as he left, the white-haired old stall owner immediately trotted all the way over.

"Young man, that's all there is to Song Mei? Let's talk about the price, shall we? ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "You say a price." ”

The white-haired old stall owner stretched out a palm.

"If you're happy, that's the price."

Ji Yuanhai shook his head: "No." ”

"You...... Young man, you ...... You are also a seller of flowers and plants, and I am also in Flowers and Birds Street, so we are walking together, right? They are all knowledgeable, and you don't give me a penny, do you think this is appropriate? "If I hadn't looked like it, I wouldn't have come here a third time and tell you the price." ”

"And if you give me a little discount, I won't lose you. When you go to Bird and Flower Street in the future, if you have anything to do with me, Lao Wang, I will definitely help you. ”

"If you don't believe it, you can go to Bird and Flower Street to inquire if my old Wang's credit is like this."

"You can also inquire, the Fangcao Xuan I opened has done tricks and harmed people."

This "old king" seems to want discounts too much, not only telling the location of his store, but also swearing to Ji Yuanhai, which probably means that Ji Yuanhai will give him a discount this time, even if he is making friends.

In the future, Ji Yuanhai went to Flower and Bird Street, and it would definitely work to find him.

After hearing this, Ji Yuanhai nodded again and again: "Lao Wang, if you want to say that, I can't make this friend." ”

"Now I have a favor, I wonder if you can help?"

"Lao Wang" hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Ji Yuanhai said: "I want to buy a place to live here in the provincial capital, Lao Wang, do you have a clue in this regard?" ”

"Lao Wang" said: "If you want to talk about the things on Bird and Flower Street, then I really have a way to help you think about it." I really can't do this thing of buying and selling houses, you have to find Yuan Zhonghua. ”

"Yuan Zhonghua?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"Yes, Yuan Zhonghua." Lao Wang introduced, "He can rent and sell houses, weddings and funerals, and name children!" He is a well-known jack-of-all-trades at the intersection of Bird and Flower Street, and there are thousands of people in that block, if there is any difficulty in life, as long as he gives money, he can solve most of them. ”

"And he marked the price in advance, has a fair conscience, and has a good reputation."

Ji Yuanhai asked this Yuan Zhonghua again.

"At the corner of Bird and Flower Street, there is a supply and marketing cooperative, which he opened. You can find him wherever you want. Lao Wang said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, you can say this even if you do me a favor." ”

"Then this pot of Song Mei ......," asked Lao Wang.

"Five hundred dollars to sell you." Ji Yuanhai said, "However, there are some ugly things I have to say in front. ”

"When I go to Bird and Flower Street, if I find that Yuan Zhonghua is not what you say, I will have to settle accounts with you; When the time comes, don't talk about my Song Mei, I have to come back, and I won't return the five hundred yuan. ”

"Lao Wang, do you think this will work?"

Lao Wang directly raised his hand and pointed to his face: "Young man, you remember my face." ”

"If I tell you a lie, you'll tear my old face apart!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "No, no, I've always valued peace, I don't like to fight, and I won't fight." ”

Lao Wang paid 500 yuan, left with the last pot of Song Mei, and then returned to his stall to collect the stall and left.

When he left, Wang Zhuyun suddenly covered his mouth and let out a "flutter" laugh.

Ji Yuanhai looked at her with a puzzled expression: "I sell a pot of orchids, why are you so happy?" ”

"I'm not happy, it's you who are cheeky." Wang Zhuyun said with a smile, "At the beginning of the vegetable market in Qingshan County, you dared to beat people in the face of so many people from the Zhao family alone, and you still had the upper hand. ”

"Why are you embarrassed to say that you value peace?"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and leaned back, and he was overjoyed.

She was so happy that Lu Heling couldn't help laughing along-Ji Yuanhai was also very polite when he fought in Xiaoshantun, and the bad guy who beat up the child at the train station was also very heavy-handed, and it was indeed not related to the words "harmony is precious".

Ji Yuanhai shook his head speechlessly.

"You know I'm so cruel and dare to laugh at me? Aren't you afraid that I'll give you a swoop? ”

Wang Zhuyun laughed and said, "You won't beat me, why should I be afraid?" ”

"If you laugh at me again, I'm really going to be rude to you......" Ji Yuanhai said, which made Wang Zhuyun smile even more happily.

This crazy girl is obviously very easy to feed...... How did she make her father Wang Wenbo look like he ran away from home and was depressed?

Seeing that the time was almost the same, and there were still three pots of Longchang left to sell, Ji Yuanhai said: "Okay, this is the end of the stall, and it is a complete success." ”

"That's it, let's put down our things after we go back, go to Yan Fushun to have a good meal, and enjoy it!"

Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were a little surprised.

"Is that all? These three pots of flowers haven't been sold yet! ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled, picked up a basin and handed it to Lu Heling: "You have a basin." ”

I picked up another basin: "I'll have a basin." ”

finally looked at Wang Zhuyun: "That pot is yours." ”

"There were three of us, each of us took a pot to the dormitory, and we solved the three stocks."

Wang Zhuyun was pleasantly surprised: "And my pot?" ”

Then he shook his head: "I still don't want it!" Your pot of orchids costs five or six hundred yuan, how expensive is it? I still don't want it......"

Lu Heling also shook her head: "Yuan Hai, I don't want my pot anymore; I won't serve this kind of delicate flower, and there is no one in the dormitory, and I can't support it, so you can only waste five or six hundred yuan for nothing. ”

Wang Zhuyun also agreed: "Yes, yes, I don't raise orchids." ”

"You'd better sell it - all in all......"

She hesitated: "All in all, thank you for your kindness, Ji Yuanhai." ”

Ji Yuanhai saw that neither of them planned to ask for it, so he didn't insist anymore: "It's okay, I'll take care of it first." Anyway, three pots of orchids can be placed anywhere, and I have no problem taking them to the dormitory myself. ”

took the two of them to pack up the sacks, maza, and three pots of orchids, and then shouted back to the hotel on the street in front of the provincial university.

On the way, I bought fried candy from the fried goods shop, entered the hotel, and handed it to the waitress Sister Ma.

Sister Ma took it with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Ji, what are you doing here?" How embarrassing - sold the flowers today? ”

"Sister Ma, yes, it's sold, and there are still three pots left." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.

Sister Ma nodded: "The flowers you planted are water spirits, and they should be able to be sold!" ”

After speaking, he reminded Ji Yuanhai again: "There are still two days left for the opening of the provincial university, Xiao Ji, are you going to move to the dormitory tomorrow?" ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "Yes, Sister Ma, the school dormitory is indeed almost able to accommodate people now." ”

"However, I plan to be busy tomorrow for another day, and then report to school the day after tomorrow."

"I still have some things in my room, and I'll wait until I ask you to check out; As long as I don't ask you to check out, the room fee will still be out, and you will keep the room for me. ”

"By the time I check out, the room will be cleaned up for you."

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, Sister Ma smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you just have your own ideas; I'm not urging you to check out, or I'm reminding you not to forget to start school. ”

"Well, I know, thank you Sister Ma for reminding me."

Ji Yuanhai talked to Sister Ma, went to the room with Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun to put down his things, and went out with a bag - the bag contained 4,100 yuan earned today, two 1,200 yuan bills waiting to be cashed tomorrow, and more than 1,000 yuan, which was brought by Ji Yuan Haixue.

There are also admission letters from him and Lu Heling.

As for the inheritance of Lu Heling's parents, it is really inconvenient to carry, so it can only be kept in the house.

went out and looked for a turtle shell tricycle to solicit customers, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun crowded in the back row, and arrived at the time-honored restaurant "Yan Fushun" in the provincial capital.

Unlike other restaurants, where you can eat for three yuan for a meal, Yan Fushun's chefs are highly skilled and have good cooking materials, so a dish is often three to four yuan, and there are even six or seven yuan for a dish.

Ji Yuanhai didn't order much, and the three of them ordered six dishes.

After an hour, the dishes were served one after another.

Some dishes are crispy, and there is a "click" sound when you bite into your mouth; Some dishes are salty and fragrant, and they have a long aftertaste in the mouth.

What Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun like the most is a pot of milk soup dishes, which is extremely delicious because of its rich and original flavor.

Because Ji Yuanhai didn't deliberately save, he spent more than 20 yuan after eating this meal.

At this time, the price of goods is very cheap, and at the same time, the income that can be obtained from simple labor income and honest work is not much; A meal of more than 20 yuan is also a luxury that many workers are reluctant to and many farmers cannot imagine.

Ji Yuanhai compared the money in the bag and the price, and it was inevitable that he would have a sense of accomplishment.

If he doesn't choose to make some money in this way, I'm afraid that he will have to save even eating white-flour steamed buns now.

After eating, after all, it was already dark and the bus was gone.

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling sent Wang Zhuyun back to the provincial university, and then the two returned to the hotel.

The next day, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun converged and cashed in the bills given by Mr. Hua and Boss Zhang totaling 2,400 yuan.

After that, the three of them went to the provincial capital of Bird and Flower Street.

Sure enough, I saw a consignment point at the corner of the street.

In the consignment store, a middle-aged man with a beard is smiling and playing soy sauce with a child.

After beating the soy sauce, the middle-aged man sat down, and a middle-aged woman was already sitting in front of him.

"Teacher Yuan, tell me, what can I do about this?"

"What to do...... Let's talk slowly. ”

The middle-aged man is obviously Yuan Zhonghua.

He's really a weird, know-it-all guy, and when someone buys something at the consignment point, he gets up and sells it; After selling the things, I sat back down and chatted with the middle-aged woman.

What she said is not profound, that is, this middle-aged woman has an irritable temper, talks about her family situation, and finally gives the middle-aged woman a suggestion and a home remedy, so that she can lower her heart and calm down.

The middle-aged woman nodded again and again, and finally left the five dimes behind.

Outlets, psychologists and Chinese medicine? It's a bit of a mess.

It's no wonder that others say he's a jack of all trades......

Ji Yuanhai was thinking about it, and Yuan Zhonghua greeted with a smile: "Three, are you here to find me?" ”

Ji Yuanhai nodded.

Yuan Zhonghua said again: "Looking at the face student, what do you call it?" ”

"Surname Ji."

"Okay, this Comrade Ji ......," Yuan Zhonghua continued to ask, "Buying things or asking about things?" ”

"Ask about things, I want to buy a place to live, which is a single-door household, not the kind that shares a yard with others." Ji Yuanhai said his request succinctly.

Yuan Zhonghua nodded: "Okay, if you just ask where to sell the house, five dimes." ”

"If you let me go with you to see the house, add three more dollars."

Ji Yuanhai asked, "What's the difference?" ”

"I can help you see the problems of the house, pick and choose for you, and find the most suitable one for you." Yuan Zhonghua said, "It's definitely worth the money. ”

"If you can do it, then I really want to thank you." Ji Yuanhai said, "By the way, let me ask you one thing, is Fangcao Xuan on Bird and Flower Street opened by a person surnamed Wang?" I sold him a pot of flowers, and he recommended that I come to you to inquire about renting a house. ”

"Oh, Lao Wang, it's a pretty good person...... Yuan Zhonghua said with a smile, "Since Lao Wang told you, then I will give you five corners." ”

"Do you want to hear from me about the sale of the house, or do you want to take me along to see the house?"

Wang Zhuyun was surprised: "Didn't you say that you would ask for five dimes when you sold the house, and you exempted five dimes?" ”

"Yes, it's exempt, no money." Yuan Zhonghua stroked his beard, "If you don't need me to accompany you, I'll accompany you to chat and talk about where to sell houses." ”

"It's just like talking and chatting with friends."

Wang Zhuyun couldn't help but say: "You are really good." ”

Yuan Zhonghua smiled: "The neighbors here all say so. ”

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "I'll ask you about someone again, there was a person surnamed Shan yesterday, who set up a stall with me, and it was also on Bird and Flower Street, right?" ”

"Oh, you're talking about mountain walking." Yuan Zhonghua said, "I have a good relationship with him, if you mention him, I won't give you another five dimes." ”

Ji Yuanhai laughed and said, "No need to reduce, you are quite affordable here." ”

He saw that Yuan Zhonghua was interesting and tasteful, and he had a stomach full of all kinds of things, so it shouldn't be wrong to ask him about the news.

"Sit down and talk about it." Yuan Zhonghua brought two Maza, handed the Maza that the middle-aged woman was sitting on just now to Ji Yuanhai, and motioned for the three of them to sit down and talk.

After Ji Yuanhai sat down, Yuan Zhonghua told all the news of the sale of the house that he had.

In this area that Yuan Zhonghua is familiar with, there are only two from the year before last to this year, and none of them have been sold until now.

Because most people have a place to live, and those who don't have a place to live, the relevant departments will naturally clean up.

Because private individuals have little money in their hands, it is impossible for a house in a provincial capital to be less than three thousand; In addition, the state is now also responsible for welfare housing, and if you find a job, you can have a house to live in, and you can get married.

Therefore, there are not many people who have to spend money to buy a house, and there is very little such need in the market.

For example, a normal young man, you work hard to find a job, serve an iron rice bowl, and the daughter-in-law of the house has solved everything for the work and pension, is it necessary to save extra money to buy a house?

You don't have a job, you do odd jobs and do temporary work, then you can only live at home with your parents and make do with it - want the whole family to save money to buy you a house, how big is your face?
