Chapter 44

This vegetable market by the river has also had a history of ten or twenty years.

For the most part, the people selling vegetables and the stalls here are relatively fixed.

Occasionally, perhaps there are farmers carrying poles to sell some self-grown fruits, but that follows the season and doesn't last long.

But only this vegetable-selling newcomer Song Tan, strange, too strange.

First of all, there are not many young girls selling vegetables here.

Secondly, this young girl is beautiful, and she brought a silly brother who is also beautiful, which is easy to sell miserably and attract eyeballs.

Finally, the vegetables are sold so expensive!

At first, the vegetable vendors sneered:

Don't think that having one more silly brother can attract customers!

This vegetable market is full of middle-aged and elderly aunts who can pick and calculate, and they hate to break a cent into two halves. Being beautiful and pitiful attracts people elsewhere. Here, the aunts won't spend an extra cent!

But watching and watching, this silly child went from being slow and silly at the beginning to now being more and more nimble, and counting is more smooth—

Good heavens!

You are exercising your brother here.

Then there is the vegetable price.

Wild vegetables twenty yuan a jin?

The vendor sneered, thinking you are just selling freshness!

But later, as the weather warmed up, the vegetable prices became lower and lower, and she still sold them for twenty yuan a jin?!

The vendor sneered: Are you all shills?

Then later, even the Chinese milk vetch used for fertilizing fields was sold, still twenty yuan a jin, and so many people were grabbing it...

The vendor's people were numb.

How to say it, could it be that he has been selling vegetables for ten or twenty years and hasn't grasped the trend of this vegetable market at all?

This forbearance for a long time, finally asked today.

Who knew that the aunt who was asked was also full of melancholy: "Who says it's not? These vegetables are so expensive, my heart aches every day when I spend money."

Then why do you buy so many?!

The vendor stared at the bundles of fresh and clear Chinese milk vetch in the other party's basket, his eyes showing incomprehension.

Who knew that the aunt's attitude instantly became high-spirited again:

"You don't understand, eating more vegetables is good for your health, our family eats a few more jin of this vegetable every day, going to the toilet is smooth, the body is good, and sleeping at night is also fragrant... The acne on my daughter's face has disappeared a lot! This money is worth spending."

"What's more, these vegetables are delicious, cold-dressed, stir-fried, hot pot, there's nothing that doesn't taste good! If I don't eat it for a meal, I feel like my heart is being scratched."

The onlookers:...

Just... what you bought is not vegetables, it's brain gold, it's quiet heart oral liquid, it's laxative, melatonin, right?

Otherwise, you have to add a poppy?

This blowing is too exaggerated.

Who knew that the aunt saw they didn't believe it, but her stubborn temper came up: "You guys, don't believe it! Whether this thing tastes good or not, can we, who have been buying vegetables for decades, not know?"

"Look at this girl selling vegetables again, which time is it not by grabbing, everyone is not a fool, right? If you really don't believe it, spend twenty yuan to be fooled once, and you'll know how good it really is!"

The aunt left angrily with a basket of vegetables, and saw the tomatoes sold by others two stalls away, so she took a step forward:

"How do you sell this?"

The vendor hesitated: "Eight yuan."

The aunt's eyebrows stood up immediately: "Good! I've been buying vegetables here for decades, and you actually dare to cheat me, I bought this tomato yesterday for four yuan!"

After saying that, she stood up directly and left.

A vendor not far away walked over carefully: "Brother, why did you raise the price?"

The vendor was tearful: "Didn't I see her buying wild vegetables from others for a hundred or eighty yuan every day..."

Still thought she was a rich person who didn't care about money, and just liked this expensive one!

They were aggrieved on their own, and when they turned their heads again, they found that the beautiful girl had brought her silly brother and was ready to close the stall.

The vendor next door took a big step:

"That, are there any vegetables left? Give me a jin too!"

Song Tan was stunned, and then directed her brother: "Qiao Qiao, go to the car and take a bundle."

While smiling and saying: "Uncle, I've been bothering you at the vegetable stall next to you these past few days—the vegetables today are sold out, but I'm preparing to send some to my relatives, so I'll take a jin out."

The vendor's face looked better, he waved his hand, laughing: "The market is not mine, and what we sell is not the same, what impact is there? These vegetables must be paid for, I don't want it if you don't take money..."

Before the words were finished, he saw Qiao Qiao puffing out his chest, fully displaying the QR code on his hoodie.

The vendor:...

He looked at this smiling little girl again, and had to scan the code to pay, and left with the vegetables in a sullen mood.

Song Tan took out five yuan skillfully: "Good, go buy your Peppa stickers!"

Qiao Qiao had stickers on his cheeks and clothes, happily following Song Tan, looking at the freshness all the way:

"Sister, their building is so high!"

"What is this selling?"

"There are flowers!"

"Where is Uncle exactly?"

Song Tan looked at his carefree look, her expression softened: "Soon, see, that blue sign in front—does Qiao Qiao recognize characters? Read it out?"

Qiao Qiao looked in the direction of her hand, and at this moment, began to count his fingers with difficulty: "Big, big... um, five, gold... um..."

He turned his head, his clear eyes looking at Song Tan: "I finished reading."

Song Tan sighed—Qiao Qiao's state, he can understand, can count, can recognize money, and occasionally can look at the time. Obedient and sensible, also easy to coax, never crying or making trouble at will.

But to talk about it systematically, he is really like a kindergarten child, can't recognize all the characters, traveling is a problem, and there is no way to let him come to the city to go to school alone...

Have to think of other ways later.

But this thought turned in her heart, but her face showed a smile: "Qiao Qiao is really amazing! That is—Dafang Hardware Store! Our Uncle is called Song Dafang, remember?"

Uncle Song had been working on construction sites in the city with his wife twenty years ago, and later met some people and saved some money. He then took over a shop in the construction market, and relying on this shop, he saved a thick family fortune for his whole family.

This work, for twenty years.

Although the market hasn't been very good in the past two years, his children have grown up, and there is no such great pressure, so life is actually more comfortable than in previous years.

Song Tan remembered the past, vaguely remembering that her aunt loved gold, and when she returned to her hometown in the early years, there were gold jewelry wherever she was exposed.

Because of this, everyone in the village spread that Uncle had become rich, until one day Aunt took everyone to a shop that made jewelry.

"Take a few five-cent coins, give some labor money, and you can make a bracelet! It's the same as gold, yellow and bright, and strong!"

Song Tan was grown up before she knew—destroying the Renminbi is illegal...

But at this moment, these past events flashed through her memory like a lantern, making her recall the feeling before.

And Qiao Qiao nodded obediently: "Remembered, Uncle is called Hardware Store!"

Song Tan: Pfft!

"You just call Uncle, don't call randomly."
