Chapter 011 Donghe Vegetable Market
But more of a please, hurriedly quickened up to weigh the conch, collected the money and put it in his jacket pocket.
In the eighties, there was no such thing as fake money, so he was very relieved that he didn't even look at it, as long as the amount was right.
The melon seeds on the side also came to help, and they were reluctant to wipe their tired foreheads when they sweated.
Because she knows that the better her brother's business, then she will definitely eat delicious snacks later.
What the siblings didn't notice was that the aunt who bought the eggs had been waiting.
It wasn't until the people around her who bought the snails were almost gone that she handed over the four yuan, with a smile on her face: "Child, there are forty-five eggs in total, according to eight cents each, a total of three yuan and six cents, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Xing nodded.
"Then look for money. The aunt put the four yuan in Liu Xing's hand.
"Okay, sister. Liu Xing hurriedly found four cents and gave it to his aunt.
"Let's go, next time I have time to come to the city to sell things, I can come here to walk around. The aunt reached out and pinched the little face of the melon seeds, turned around and walked into the red brick house.
Liu Xing watched the figure of his aunt disappear from sight, and saw that no one would come to buy a conch for a while, so he hurriedly took out the thick stack of gross tickets and sub-tickets in his jacket pocket.
When I counted it, there were fifty-one pieces.
This can make Liu Xing excited.
If you sell all the remaining conch and other things, I'm afraid you will have to have at least seventy or eighty yuan.
It was a lot he had never thought of.
If the melon seeds on the side are happy.
She'd never seen so much money.
Even there are not so many around my parents.
"By the way, I also received a few fuel tickets and cloth tickets before. Liu Xing collected the money, hurriedly rummaged through his trouser pocket, and couldn't help but shake his head after seeing that the denomination of the fuel ticket was one city catty.
Because there are not many oil tickets for a pound at all.
According to the six members of his family, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat for a few days.
However, Liu Xing was also content, and seeing that several citizens came to buy conch, he hurriedly collected the oil tickets and cloth tickets.
"Young man, how do you sell your lotus roots?" a middle-aged man pushing a tricycle squeezed in.
"I don't know the price. Liu Xing replied with a smile.
"I asked for a dime and a pound, and those wild celery and shallots. The middle-aged man checked the goods in front of Liu Xing, and then looked at Liu Xing.
"Deal. Liu Xing agreed without hesitation.
After all, he is not stupid, so many citizens did not buy lotus roots and wild vegetables before, which proves that the sales must not be very good, and the middle-aged man in front of him wants it all in one breath, I am afraid that he is buying vegetables for the canteen or restaurant, otherwise he will not have such a big breath.
"You're pretty cheerful. The middle-aged man quickly put the lotus root on the small scale in Liu Xing's hand, and after looking at the weight, he wrote it down with a pen: "A total of forty-one catties, calculated according to forty catties, that is, four yuan." ”
"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded.
Although he deducted a pound of scales, he had no complaints.
Because he didn't wash the lotus root at all, he was afraid that the mud on it was more than a catty.
Normally, in fact, middle-aged people suffer losses.
"Your wild celery and shallots are good, can you provide them every day?" The middle-aged man squatted and looked at Liu Xing.
"I can't guarantee that. Liu Xing said with a smile.
Although there are many wild vegetables in the field, it is almost impossible to supply them every day, so he can only politely refuse.
"Then you can give it to me directly if you have it in the future. The middle-aged man wrote down his contact information in the small notebook he carried with him.
Liu Xing took the tore off note and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Good guy, the middle-aged man in front of him is actually the person in charge of the canteen of Hengshui Distillery, 'Wang Zhongyu'.
If this business is on the line, then you won't have to worry about making money in the future.
Because in his memory, Hengshui Distillery is a large factory with more than 1,000 workers, and the vegetables eaten every day are only hundreds of catties.
"What's wrong?Is there a problem with my contact information?" asked Wang Zhongyu.
"No problem. Liu Xinglian put away his contact information.
"No problem, let's call it!" Wang Zhongyu seemed to be very busy, picked up the wild celery and shallots in the woven bag and put them on the small scale.
"Twenty-one pounds, it's twenty pounds. Liu Xing showed Wang Zhongyu the weight.
"Okay. Wang Zhongyu took out six yuan and handed it to Liu Xing: "Is this the number?"
"Hmm. Liu Xing nodded.
"Gone. Wang Zhongyu put the wild celery and shallots into the tricycle, and then pushed it in the direction of Hengshui Distillery.
Liu Xing didn't pay attention to Wang Zhongyu, but took the scale and weighed the river snail handed over by a fat uncle.
This is an hour.
The sun rises slowly from the east, and the dazzling sunlight envelops the entire city of HY.
The calf guard has been standing quietly aside, stretching out his head from time to time to eat a few bites of leaves on the side of the road, and always paying attention to the movement of melon seeds.
As long as there is the slightest mistake, it will block it with its body.
Don't let anyone get close.
Liu Xing had actually discovered this scene a long time ago.
But because he was busy, he didn't bother to care, this time everything was sold out, and he hurriedly sat on the back of the black calf with the melon seeds: "Let's go, let's go buy breakfast and go home." ”
"Brother, buy it for the black calf too, it has a lot of credit today. Melon Seed smiled sweetly and said what was in her heart.
"Yes! Liu Xing tied the bamboo basket to the black calf's back, and then led it towards the street to the east.
On this street, there should be meat buns sold in memory.
And it's a century-old shop.
But unexpectedly, I haven't found a bun shop yet.
On the right-hand side, I found a shop selling bicycle parts.
Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then led the black calf and walked over.
The owner is an elderly man with reading glasses.
At this time, people are being repaired bicycles.
He looked up and saw a buffalo coming towards him, and he was startled.
However, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that someone was holding it, and there was a little girl sitting on the back of the buffalo.
"What do you want to do?" the old man glanced Liu Xing up and down.
"Do you have a 28-bar rear tire for sale? I want an inner tube. Liu Xing asked with a light smile.
My father's 28 bar rear tire burst, which met the spare parts store, naturally I wanted to buy the inner tube as soon as possible.
As for the replacement, it is naturally not difficult for him, a person who has been reborn.
"Yes, a lot!" the old man smiled.
"How much is one?" Liu Xing asked again.
"Ordinary piece eight! good two piece five. The old man replied.
"Bring me a good one. Liu Xing took out two yuan and five cents from a thick stack of cents and handed them to the old man.
"Okay!" The old man never thought that Liu Xing would have so much money, let alone that Liu Xing would be so happy, and after being stunned for a while, he hurriedly took out an inner tube from the store and handed it to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing looked at the sign and saw that the old man did not lie to him.
Putting away the black calf, he continued to walk towards the street ahead.
From afar, Liu Xing smelled the aroma of meat buns.
I also saw the plaque of [Donghe Vegetable Market] at the corner.
"Brother, it's so fragrant!" melon seeds couldn't help but sniff at this time.
"It's very fragrant, it's the smell of meat buns. Liu Xing replied with a faint smile.
"Can we buy one?" asked Melon Seed timidly.
Liu Xing didn't answer, but led the black calf to the door of the steamed bun shop: "Boss, how do you sell meat buns?"
"Eight cents a piece. The chubby boss replied with a smile.
"Bring me ten. Liu Xing handed the fat boss eight cents.
"Okay!" After glancing at Liu Xing, the fat boss hurriedly took ten hot buns for Liu Xing.
The buns were packed in two times in a cardboard box, and they were very large, and the moment Liu Xing took the hand, he could smell the smell of lean meat and green onions inside.
I pinched one and looked at it, and it was really so.
Except for lean meat and green onions, there is no fat in it.
"The food of the 80s was really not fake at all. Liu Xing handed the meat bun to the melon seeds: "Eat it! ”
"Well, brother, you're just right. After the melon seeds tasted the meat buns, their eyes lit up.
Liu Xing looked at it and smiled, he didn't be polite to the melon seeds, picked up a meat bun in the carton and ate it.
After all, this journey from Saltpeter Village consumed too much physical strength, and he was already hungry at this time.
Even the black calf was listless at this time, and he wanted to nibble on a few bites when he looked at the grass on the side of the road around him.
Liu Xing didn't let the black calf go hungry, and after eating two steamed buns, he led the black calf into the Donghe vegetable market.
The Donghe Vegetable Market is much smaller than expected.
But unexpectedly.
There was pork for sale.
There are also cabbage, carrots, cabbage, and other side dishes for sale.
But there are not many of them, and as for wild celery and shallots, there are none.
Liu Xing, who saw this scene, finally knew why Wang Zhongyu gave him his contact information, it turned out that there was no one selling wild vegetables in the huge Donghe vegetable market.
There are also river snails, which are not sold in the entire Donghe vegetable market.
However, there are a few vegetable sellers selling lotus roots.
But that's a vegetable root, not a wild root.
It is very different from what he sold to Wang Zhongyu before.
As for the price, two cents a pound, and there is mud on it!
