Chapter 120: You and I Are Mortal
Xu Deyong found a bamboo seller near a shack.
The bamboo used to make a chicken coop is almost good, but he also wants to make some bamboo weaving and bamboo tools, and the requirements for bamboo are higher.
Bamboo weaving is generally used for three to five years of winter bamboo, winter bamboo has less water content, low sugar content, is not easy to grow insects, and is durable.
It's the right time!
Xu Deyong picked and chosen, and finally took a fancy to an old man's bamboo, the old man had dark skin, there were dry cracks on his face and hands, he was repairing the bell with his hands in his sleeves, squatting next to the wheelbarrow, and there were three bundles tied to the car.
Obviously, there are not too many people who buy bamboo in the Chinese New Year market, and he has not opened it yet.
"Uncle, how do you sell your bamboo?" Xu Deyong squatted down and asked, subconsciously handing over a Pegasus brand cigarette as he spoke.
When the old man saw that it was a good cigarette, he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and a cramped smile appeared on his face and said, "No, no, your cigarette is too good, I'll smoke this." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a dry tobacco pouch from his waist with a cloth belt, and gestured.
Xu Deyong smiled and said reluctantly: "Then how do you sell this bamboo?" ”
"Oh, oh......." The old man seemed to have just remembered this question, and hurriedly said: "Is the price, you will give this bundle...... Wumao ....... ”
In the end, his voice was a little quieter, and he seemed a little unconfident.
Xu Deyong touched his chin and thought, "Such a big bundle is only five cents?" It's a bit a lot to buy three bundles, but you can buy them all if you can! ”
The person next to him heard it and immediately said, "I'm cheap, only four cents for a bundle." ”
The old man seemed a little overwhelmed when he heard this, and muttered, "You...... If you want to be too expensive, you can also give four cents ....... ”
"I'm three-and-five."
Xu Deyong couldn't help rolling his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Master, is there a man like you?" Robbing customers has to wait for us to talk before we speak, you see that people have honestly never sold, so it's easy to bully, right? ”
"Hey......." The man sneered and said, "Isn't that trying to save you money!" ”
Xu Deyong said: "Yes, thank you for your kindness, but we are not pretty, uncle, I will buy all three bundles of you, only five cents." ”
"Okay, the bureau ......."
"Okay, it's the ...... of our lords in Nine City."
……
There were good deeds around, and the towers shouted loudly.
Xu Deyong took a look, and most of the applaudators were people who carried cages and birds.
He stood up and clenched his fists and gestured, meaning thank you for the cheers.
The person also hugged his fist in return, and the two sides met in Pingshui, but it just happened to be their meeting and passed by.
The old man was still a little cramped, and he didn't know what to do.
Xu Deyong said: "Uncle, you come with me, my board car is in the parking lot, or I will help you push it." ”
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll come by myself, I can't let you suffer." ”
As he spoke, he put the car on his shoulder, got up and said, "You lead the way in front, I will follow you, if you are troublesome, I will send you directly to your home." ”
The old man's car loop was already dark and shiny, and some clever and wise women would use the hair and hemp they had saved to make a car loop for the man herself.
This is the love and romance that belongs only to them and to this era.
Xu Deyong doesn't know if the old man's car loop has his wife's hair in it, I hope there is!
He smiled and said, "Just come with me." ”
After that, he shouted: "Let me hey, don't sweep your ......." ”
"Hey, stupid!" The man next to him couldn't help but muttered when he saw the two of them leaving.
The two came to Xu Deyong's board car smoothly, and Xu Deyong took out a piece of five cents and handed it to the old man.
The old man had a heartfelt smile on his face, and there seemed to be anticipation in his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out three cents and returned it to Xu Deyong and said: "Be honest, you can't let you buy expensive things." ”
Xu Deyong waved his hand and said: "Your bamboo is handled well, and it is worth this price, so you can relax and accept it." ”
The old man pursed his lips, then smiled and showed his blackened teeth and said, "Hey, then thank you, I will accept it with a cheeky face, this cut two catties of meat, and I can still have money to buy a string of sugar gourds for my little grandson." ”
This kind of satisfied smile is something that I never had in my previous life, I had a car and a house, and I was full of food and drink every day!
Xu Deyong was inexplicably a little sour, not sympathizing with the old man, but sympathizing with his former self.
Your own cheap sympathy is not worthy of sympathy for others!
He rubbed his nose and said, "Uncle, I moved the bamboo." ”
The old man hurriedly said: "I'll come, I'll come, you rest." ”
This time, Xu Deyong didn't let him, and put the three bundles of bamboo on the board cart lightly and quickly.
Before the old man had time to make a move, Xu Deyong finished moving, and he smiled and said: "You are young and strong, and I was not bad back then!" ”
Xu Deyong handed him a cigarette again, and this time he couldn't help but put it in his hand.
He himself lit one and said, "Uncle, this year's New Year is still going to be successful, right?" ”
The old man put the cigarette on his nose and smelled it, and he was reluctant to put it on his ear and said: "It's okay, it's the peak season of vegetables this year, and many of them haven't been pulled out, and the backlog is rotten, it's a pity." ”
Xu Deyong frowned slightly, the backlog of vegetables in the peak season is rotten? This is not good news, is it that vegetables are about to be purchased and sold?
The old man saw that Xu Deyong didn't speak, so he said, "Master, then you are busy, I will go back first." ”
Xu Deyong reacted and hurriedly said, "Then please do it, it will take a long time to go back!" ”
"Hey, get used to it." The old man put the car on his shoulder again and said with a smile, nodded and was about to leave.
"Oh, wait a minute." Xu Deyong said suddenly, he pretended to "take" a small whip from the toolbox of the board car, put it on the old man's car and said: "I bought too many small whips before, so I will give this one to your little grandson to play." ”
"Hey, hey, this can't be helped, this costs at least two cents......!" The old man was a little anxious and put down the car.
Xu Deyong had already ridden the car, waved his hand and left.
The old man chased two steps but did not catch up, looked at the small whip in his hand, and sighed: "Good man! ”
……
Xu Deyong is naturally not a good person, and he will not admit that he is a bad person, he is just a mortal who is a little different.
After walking a little far, I saw a little boy holding a sugar gourd that caught up with his height, and was feeding it to the little friends who came with him, and the children who didn't have it next to him were very envious.
Xu Deyong couldn't help but slowly stop the car, I'll go, why does he have it!
No, I haven't eaten anything this long.
He turned his head and found a nearby sugar gourd stall, next to which were selling all kinds of beautiful paper windmills and lanterns.
He also bought a long sugar gourd for two cents, and two lanterns for a dime.
Two lanterns are hung on the handlebars, and then one hand holds the handlebars and rides home, the other with a sugar gourd.
Hey, if you don't eat it in your hand, it's a show.
Sure enough, it attracted the envious eyes of the children all the way, satisfying his psychology of middle school.
Back in the courtyard, his style suddenly made the boys playing at the door flock to him.
"Wow, Brother Deyong, your sugar gourd is so long!"
"Brother Deyong, what are you doing when you buy so many bamboo poles?"
"Brother Deyong, can I play with the lantern?"
……
Looking at a circle of stares.
Xu Deyong said angrily: "Go and go, play with a sugar gourd for one person, don't surround me, I still have something." ”
"Oh oh oh, thank you, Brother Deyong, ......."
"Brother Yong is the most powerful."
……
Xu Deyong gained a lot of sycophants during the New Year, and he still feels very good.
It's a large string of sugar gourds that have been cut in half.
He also ate one, sweet and sour, which is really good, pure natural without any additives!
He put his things in his home, and carried the bamboo into it again, along with the wood in the corner.
The little rich woman is very fragrant, but she also needs to have her own small treasury, and she must be "independent in personality and free in advance and retreat"!
Otherwise, no one will help you correct your ...... when you "go astray".
Kameon, craftsman, get moving, start by making chicken coops......!
Damn, I almost stepped on!
