Taipingwei is at the foot of Yunwu Mountain, which is a place where many places meet.

Although the polder market in this mountainous area is not large, every polder day, the villagers at the junction of Jiangshang, Yangshan and Ende will come to the market invariably. People bring mountain goods, poultry and livestock to the market to sell, and buy some daily necessities to go home.

The flow of people in the polder market is like a carp, shoulder to shoulder, the cries of chickens, ducks and geese, the cries of people and the sound of bargaining are intertwined, one after another, very lively.

Sha Danju took the warriors who came to chase and kill back to Chang'an, and Zhang Shaofei had a short "safety period" in Yunwu Mountain, so he occasionally went to Zhanwei with Liang Futian.

Zhang Shaofei and Liang Futian picked up the fungus, mushrooms, tea and other mountain goods picked recently to Taipingwei to sell. These goods are very sought-after, and they are sold out in less than an hour. Zhang Shaofei bought some oil and salt in the small shop by the way.

Liang Futian bought two catties of tobacco leaves at the tobacco stall, pulled out the bamboo pole pipe on his waist, stuffed a little tobacco, lit it, squatted on the ground, took a deep breath, and then spit out the smoke.

Zhang Shaofei saw Liang Futian squatting there leisurely swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Tian, you, your addiction to smoking is so big." ”

Liang Futian shook his head helplessly: "I, a smoker, also know that smoking too much is not good for my body, and I have quit a few times, but I can't quit." ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "As long as you are determined, you will definitely be able to quit." ”

"Then, I'll try again after smoking these two catties of tobacco leaves to see if I can quit my addiction." After Liang Futian was addicted to smoking, he looked up at the sky and said, "Yo, it's almost noon, I'll buy some sauce and vinegar at Weiwei and go home." ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "Okay. ”

They carried the empty basket and walked to the end of the polder.

Liang Futian suddenly made a discovery, and pointed to the man selling Sydney pears in front of him: "Ah, Brother Fuxing." ”

After Zhang Shaofei went to Yunwu Mountain to live in seclusion, in his spare time, he often went to Liang Fuxing's house with Liang Futian to drink tea and chat, and everyone had a lot of topics and talked about it quite well.

Liang Fuxing planted more than 10 acres of Sydney pears in the back mountain, and he was diligent in management on weekdays, weeding, insect control, fertilization, and doing all the work. This year is another good year, the trees are full of Sydney fruits, each as big as a fist, bending the branches, Liang Fuxing sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

In this harvest season, Liang Fuxing got up very early today, stepped on the morning dew to the back mountain, and soon picked two baskets of Sydney pears and picked them to sell in Taipingwei.

He, a drunkard, first drank half a catty of liquor in the winery at the polder, and then picked up two baskets of pears, looking left and right, looking for a place to set up a stall in the polder.

There are too many people taking advantage of the Wei today, Liang Fuxing finally found a vacant seat in the middle of the stall selling longan and pig seedlings, put down the pear burden there, wiped his sweat, and shouted loudly: "The cool and sweet big Sydney pear, which is cheap and delicious, can be bought and used." ”

Within a few moments, more than half of the two baskets of Sydney pears had been sold.

Liang Fuxing saw that Liang Futian and Zhang Shaofei also came to take advantage of it, so he hurriedly picked up two big pears from the basket and handed them over: "Brother Futian, Ah Fei, this pear was picked early in the morning today, it is fresh enough, you come and taste it!" ”

Liang Futian and Zhang Shaofei still wanted to push back, but Sydney had already stuffed it into their hands.

Liang Fuxing said: "Two brothers, a family, you're welcome." ”

Zhang Shaofei picked up the pear and took a bite, it was crisp and loose, and a stream of sugar water flowed down from his mouth, penetrating his heart, and he couldn't help blurting out: "It's so sweet!" ”

Liang Fuxing smiled: "This year, although the price of this pear is more expensive, the business is still very good. ”

While they were chatting, a middle-aged man paced and came to Liang Fuxing's Sydney stall.

This person's name is Shi Deren, he is long and thin, his back is a little bent, and his body looks like a shrimp male. He was fair-skinned, sharp-beaked monkey gills, dressed in a black silk, dragged black loafers under his feet, and held a paper folding fan painted with flowers, birds, insects and fish in his hand, and wandered around the polder with a group of followers.

Shi Deren's father was a wealthy family in Yangshan Village, and after his death, more than 500 acres of land were left to him and his brother Shi Deyi.

When he was a child, Shi Deren climbed a tree and fell from a height, and his left leg was broken, so now he walks in a posture of twisting one high and one low.

Originally, he had a good life, but he still tried his best to make money from some crooked ways, and people secretly called him "treacherous and benevolent".

There are a lot of people nearby who have dealt with Shi Deren and suffered big losses, so acquaintances avoid him.

Today, Shi Deren did not come to Taipingwei to buy anything, but to make a windfall with a bad stomach. His triangular eyes drooped under his sparse short eyebrows, and in the whites of his eyes, the black pupils were spinning around like a hound, searching for its prey.

He walked, walked, and saw Liang Fuxing selling Sydney.

Shi Deren knew that although Liang Fuxing was hardworking, his bad habit on weekdays was to love gambling and drinking, and now he saw that he was setting up a stall to sell Sydney, and seeing the two stalls he was selling next to him, he frowned, and he was thinking about it.

Shi Deren stepped forward, pointed to the two baskets of Sydney, and said to Liang Fuxing: "Brother Fuxing, your Sydney pears are on the market so early this year. Without waiting for Liang Fuxing to agree, he picked up a pear, put it in his mouth and nibbled it, and nodded: "Yo, it's so sweet!" ”

Where there is a master, there must be a minions. Shi Deren's entourage also followed suit, picked up the pear from Liang Fuxing's basket and took a big bite.

Liang Fuxing is a generous person, and he doesn't care about people taking a few pears from him, thinking that this is a self-produced and self-sold thing at home, and he can pick Sydney pears to sell in the polder in two days, so he didn't think so, pointed to the pears in the basket, and said: "It's a lot of beauty, the harvest of Sydney pears I planted this year is good, the size is very big, and it is very sweet." ”

Shi Deren arched his fists with both hands and saluted with a smile: "Then congratulations, congratulations." "He laughed worse than he cried.

The more Liang Fuxing spoke, the more excited he became, and his mouth spewed out the smell of wine: "It is estimated that this year's Sydney pear production should increase by three or four percent compared with last year." ”

Shi Deren followed his words: "In this way, you are going to get rich this year." ”

A smile bloomed on Liang Fuxing's face: "Yes, it seems that I am going to make a small fortune this year." Of course, I'm not as rich as you rich people. ”

Shi Deren has always taken the method of luring fish to the bait, he is familiar with Liang Fuxing's gambling addiction on weekdays, so he took advantage of his excitement and said: "Fuxing, Fuxing, I said that you should be bigger-minded, and you should make a small fortune, but you must make a big fortune." ”

Liang Fuxing pondered the meaning of his words: "Do you want to make a lot of money? What do you mean? ”

Shi Deren said reasonably: "As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall. Do you want to make a windfall? ”

Liang Fuxing spread his hands out: "Who doesn't want to get rich?" But how does this windfall come from? ”

Shi Deren said in a challenging tone: "Brother Fuxing, I'll make a bet with you." What do you think? ”

Liang Fuxing scratched his head: "Bet? What to bet on? ”

Shi Deren pointed to the two baskets of pears in front of Liang Fuxing: "Let me bet with you, is it the big pear or the longan?" ”

Liang Fuxing said angrily: "This still needs to be bet, of course it's Sydney." ”

Shi Deren smiled secretly: "I think it's the dragon's eye." ”

Liang Fuxing decisively: "Sydney is big!" ”

Shi Deren didn't give in: "The dragon's eye is big!" ”

Liang Fuxing put his foot on the ground: "Sydney is big!" ”

"Dragon's eye is big!" Shi Deren put away the folding fan and slapped it on his palm, "Liang Fuxing, I'll make this bet with you today, how about it?" ”

"This ......" Shi Deren's bet made Liang Fuxing stunned, he touched the beard on his chin, thinking: "Why would Shi Deren bet this with himself?" ”

Shi Deren is a local "celebrity", and when he heard that he was going to make a bet, many people who came to take advantage of the situation immediately surrounded him to see what was going on.

Shi Deren saw that Liang Fuxing was groaning, so he touched him with his elbow and made a radical method: "What's wrong?" Is it a man's husband, or a turtle with a shrunken head, do you dare to fight? ”

Zhang Shaofei and Liang Futian had been standing next to them and listening to their conversation. This sudden bet made Zhang Shaofei have a strange feeling: there must be something strange in this matter, so he pulled Liang Futian's sleeve and whispered: "There won't be such a big frog jumping on the street, it seems that there will be fraud in this matter." You go and talk to Fu Xingbo and remind him not to fall for that person. ”

"Hmm." Liang Futian also had an ominous premonition, nodded, stepped forward and pulled Liang Fuxing, and said, "Come over here." ”

Liang Fuxing followed Liang Futian to squeeze out of the crowd.

Liang Futian admonished him: "How can there be such a big frog jumping in the street in the world? You've bet with him before that this guy is even more slippery than a loach! ”

Zhang Shaofei also came to persuade: "This matter will not be so simple!" ”

Liang Futian thought of something again, and said: "In addition to this reason, I am afraid that Shi Deren will not admit it after losing the bet." ”

Referring to those things that had been deceived by Shi Deren, Liang Fuxing gritted his teeth as soon as he thought of it, vowing to avenge that arrow, his face was red from excitement, or the smell of drinking just now had not faded, his eyebrows were lightly raised, he looked contemptuous, snorted from the corner of his mouth, and said: "No matter how cunning he is this time, I am not afraid of him." In broad daylight, everyone can testify. I'm going to have to take a big gamble with him this time! ”

Zhang Shaofei is still admonishing: "Uncle Fuxing, it's better to be careful." I think his demeanor is that those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming. ”

Liang Fuxing was angry, his neck showed earthworm-sized green tendons, and he was full of confidence: "Shi Deren has a lot of pits, and many people around him have been deceived by him." I've fallen for him before, and I've lost a few baskets of grain to him, and this time I'll clean him up. First, it came out of the sulkness in my heart, and secondly, it also made the deceived villagers raise their eyebrows. ”
