Chapter 44 44 Dafang Hardware Store
Chapter 44 44. Dafang Hardware Store
This vegetable market by the river has a history of ten or twenty years.
Most of the time, the people and stalls selling vegetables here are relatively fixed.
Occasionally, there may be farmers carrying burdens to sell some fruits grown in the countryside, but this only depends on the season and does not last long.
But only Song Tan, a new vegetable seller, was weird, too weird.
First of all, there are not many young girls selling vegetables here.
Secondly, this young girl is beautiful and has an equally beautiful silly younger brother. She is easy to sell out and attracts attention.
In the end, the food was so expensive!
At first, the vegetable vendors sneered:
Don't think that multiple silly brothers can attract customers!
This vegetable market is full of middle-aged and elderly ladies who are good at picking and doing calculations. They want to spend every penny in half. Beautiful and pitiful, attractive in other places. Here, aunties won’t spend a dime more!
But looking at it, this silly kid's movements have gone from being slow and silly at the beginning to becoming more and more agile now, and his counting is even smoother——
Good guy!
You are here to train your brother.
Next is the price of vegetables.
Twenty yuan a pound of wild vegetables?
The vendor sneered, thinking you were just selling something fresh!
But later, as the weather warmed up, the price of vegetables became lower and lower. She still sold them for 20 yuan a pound? !
The vegetable seller sneered: Are you just asking for help?
Later, even the milkvetch from Feitian was sold, still costing 20 yuan a pound, and so many people were snatching it up...
The vegetable vendors were all numb.
How should I put it? Is it possible that he has been selling vegetables for ten or twenty years and has not grasped the trend of this vegetable market?
I have been holding back this for a long time, and finally asked the question today.
Unexpectedly, the aunt who was asked was also full of melancholy: "Who says it's not? This dish is so expensive, and I feel like a knife when I spend money every day."
Then you still buy so many? !
The vegetable seller stared at the handfuls of fresh and clear milkvetch in the other's basket, looking puzzled.
Unexpectedly, Auntie'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 kilograms of these vegetables every day. It helps us go to the toilet smoothly, our health is good, and we sleep soundly at night... The acne on my daughter's face has gone away a lot!" It’s money well spent.”
"Not to mention this dish, it's so delicious. Cold, stir-fried and hot pot, there's nothing bad about it! I'm scratching my head if I can't finish it all."
Onlookers:...
Just... what kind of food are you buying here? Is it melatonin, Jingxin oral liquid, or intestinal laxative melatonin?
Otherwise, do I need to add a poppy?
This sounds too exaggerated.
Unexpectedly, when the aunt saw that they didn't believe it, she became stubborn: "You guys, don't believe it either! How can we not know whether this food is good to eat after decades of shopping for vegetables?"
"Look at this girl selling vegetables. How often does she not rely on robbing, and everyone is not a fool? If you really don't believe it, you will know how good it is after spending twenty yuan on it."
The aunt stormed away with a basket of vegetables. She saw the tomatoes being sold by two vendors across the street, so she took a step forward:
"How did you sell this?"
The vegetable seller hesitated for a moment: "Eight yuan."
The aunt's brows immediately rose: "Okay! I've been shopping here for decades, and you still dare to trick me. The tomatoes I bought yesterday were obviously four yuan!"
After saying that, he stood up directly, turned around and left.
A vendor not far away came over cautiously: "Brother, why did you increase the price?"
The vendor was about to burst into tears: "Don't I think she has to pay a hundred dollars to buy other people's wild vegetables every day..."
I thought he was a tyrannical master with no shortage of money, so he liked this expensive one!
They were concerned about their own grievances. When they turned around, they found that the beautiful girl and her silly brother were already preparing to close the stall.
The vegetable vendor next door walked quickly:
"Well, do you have any more food? Give me a pound too!"
Song Tan was stunned for a moment, then commanded his younger brother: "Qiaoqiao, go to the car and get a bundle."
While smiling, he said: "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you at the vegetable stall next to you these days - all the vegetables are sold out today, but I'm going to give some to my relatives, so I'll just take out a pound."
The vegetable seller's face looked better now. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "The market is not mine, and what we sell is different. So what's the impact? You have to pay for this dish. You don't need to pay for it." I do not want……"
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao puffed up his chest and displayed all the QR codes on his sweatshirt.
Vegetable vendor:...
He looked at the smiling little girl again, had no choice but to scan the QR code to pay, and turned away in frustration while holding the dishes.
Song Tan took out five yuan and said, "Hey, go buy your Peppa Pig stickers!"
…
Qiao Qiao had stickers on her cheeks and clothes. She happily followed Song Tan carrying a basket, looking at the new things along the way:
"Sister, their building is so tall!"
"What is this for sale?"
"There are flowers!"
"Where is uncle?"
Song Tan looked at his carefree expression and said with a soft expression: "It's coming soon. Did you see that store with a blue sign in front of you? Can Qiao Qiao read it? Can you read it?"
Qiaoqiao looked at her hand and began to count her fingers with difficulty: "Big, big... um, five, gold... um..."
He turned his head and looked at Song Tan with clear eyes: "I've finished reading."
Song Tan sighed - Qiao Qiao can understand, count, recognize money, and occasionally check the time in this state. He is obedient and sensible, easy to coax, and never cries casually.
But to be systematic, he is really like a kindergarten kid, he can't recognize all the characters, and it's a problem to go out. There is no way to let him go to school alone in the city...
I have to think of other ways later.
But this thought passed through her mind, but she smiled: "Qiao Qiao is really amazing! That's - Dafang Hardware Store! Our uncle is Song Dafang, remember?"
Twenty years ago, Uncle Song worked on a construction site in the city with his wife. Later, he met some people and saved some money. He bought a store in the construction market, and relied on this store to save a thick family foundation for his family.
He has been doing this for twenty years.
Although the market has not been good in the past two years, his children have grown up and there is not so much pressure, so his life is more comfortable than in previous years.
Song Tan recalled the past, vaguely remembering that her aunt loved gold. When she returned to her hometown in the early years, she had gold jewelry on her body wherever she was exposed.
Because of this, everyone in the village said that her uncle had become rich, until one day her aunt took everyone to a jewelry store.
"Take a few 50-cent coins, pay a little labor, and you can make a bracelet! Just like gold, bright yellow, and strong!"
Song Tan only knew when she grew up that destroying RMB was illegal...
But now, these past events flashed through her memory like a revolving lantern, which made her recall the feeling before.
And Qiao Qiao nodded obediently: "Remember, uncle is called hardware store!"
Song Tan: Puff!
"Just call me uncle, don't call me nonsense."
Everyone is calling for more chapters (secretly happy)... Here's one more (heart-shaped love biubiubiu!)
That's it, it's really gone. Just this time.
There will be no more chapters tomorrow.
There will be no more chapters even if you urge me in the future.
