Chapter 10 Going to the market to sell cherries
Time flies by and it’s the day of the market again.
Last night, Wang Fang consciously or unconsciously mentioned the cherries Zhang An had picked before. Zhang An also knew that his mother was still thinking about the cherries on the mountain.
So at dawn, Zhang An went out carrying a bamboo basket.
Although this was just to find an excuse for the origin of the space cherry, Zhang An still didn’t want to raise any doubts.
Although the space is a plug-in, Zhang An does not want to use him to do something illegal. He just wants his family to live a well-off life.
Instead of using space to make a lot of ill-gotten gains.
Because Zhang An has always felt that he is an ordinary person and his mind is sober for now, but once he has a lot of wealth, he is not sure whether he can still stay sober.
He also doesn’t want to cause other problems due to space exposure.
So everything is still developing quietly and low-key.
Last night it was the turn of the sixth group to keep vigil. Zhang An was supposed to go, but Zhang Jianguo didn't let Zhang An go and went himself.
So it was about five o'clock before I returned home and went to bed.
Zhang An walked out of the door and walked towards the mountains to the west. When he felt that it was almost done, he entered the space and picked most of the basket of cherries.
This bamboo woven basket is very big. One basket can hold forty or fifty kilograms of things.
So Zhang An didn't pick enough, so he picked some branches and leaves from the tree and covered the bamboo basket with a thick layer.
Zhang An, who walked out of the space, happened to see the rising sun breaking through the ground in the east.
Zhang An also saw the sunrise in his previous life, but it was many years later when he participated in a company team building and a group of people were playing in Mount Tai.
I got up at around three o'clock in the morning to climb the mountain. However, due to the height, not only did I feel a bit cold, but the wind was also very strong on the top of Mount Tai.
And because of the various street lights and neon signs in the city.
The sunrise doesn’t look that amazing either.
In my thirties, I no longer have the intention to appreciate the scenery along the way, but more to join the group.
But looking at the sunrise today, there are no transmission cables in the distant horizon. The moment the sun emerges from the ground in the east, the whole earth is given color.
Because of the high altitude, looking from the top of the slope, you can see the sea of clouds gathering in the distant east.
Although the sky at this moment is not blue, there are still some white clouds floating in the wind.
But the scene at this time can only be described as "the sun rises in the east and is dyed with rays of light".
With different mentality, you can see different scenery and have different feelings.
When the morning sun came out and the earth returned to its bright colors, Zhang An also went down the mountain and went home.
“So much, almost thirty kilograms.” Wang Fang looked into the bamboo basket and said in surprise.
“I picked everything I could. It’s useless to keep it anyway. After the Chinese New Year this year, I’ll get some trees and transplant them back to plant them at home.”
Because Zhang Jianguo went on night duty last night, so he is still resting now.
According to the plan, Zhang An and his mother Wang Fang went to the town to attend the market, but people from the village came to visit early in the morning.
It turned out that the second mistress in front of me was going to refurbish the tiles on the roof today, so she came to ask Wang Fang to help cook.
Even my father, Zhang Jianguo, would help pick out tiles when he woke up.
So Zhang An was the only one going out on the street, so Zhang An went out carrying a basket of cherries and a steel scale in his hand.
When he was at home, his mother taught him to pay more attention to how the cherries sold next to him were selling them and how much they were selling.
You can definitely sell it if you sell it at the same price as others.
Since he was on the road alone, Zhang An no longer wanted to hide his clumsiness. He put the basket and scale on his back into the space and walked forward quickly.
Space spring water can not only relieve physical fatigue, but also strengthen your body if you drink it for a long time.
During this period, Zhang An filled the water tank at home every day, and the family of three used space spring water to eat and drink.
So not only Zhang An, but also Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang are in much better health. Even the slightest wrinkle on their faces has disappeared recently.
Originally it took about an hour to walk to the town, but because Zhang An walked quickly, it took more than half an hour to reach the entrance of the town.
I found a deserted corner, took out the bamboo basket and steel scale, and walked towards the place where vegetables were sold.
In Daji, there is no vegetable market yet. Perhaps it has been an unwritten habit for a long time. There is a special place that only sells one kind of thing.
At this time, although there are still very few cherries that are not off the market, there are no people selling cherries on the street, but there are still a lot of peaches.
We haven’t arrived at the location yet, maybe because the cherry leaves covering Zhang An’s basket were too conspicuous, someone soon pulled Zhang An to ask.
"Brother, are you carrying cherries on your back? It's covered with cherry leaves."
The person asking the question was a woman who looked about twenty-seven years old and was wearing a good-quality trousers on her upper body. Wearing a floral shirt and a pair of navy blue trousers, the overall look is dignified and decent, with a bamboo basket in his hand.
"Yes, sister, this cherry will definitely not disappoint you, why don't you take a look first."
As he said this, Zhang An took the other party to find a Put down the bamboo basket on your back on an edge that is not blocking the road.
The eldest sister opened the leaves and took a look, "Hey, why are your cherries so big? I have never seen such a big cherry."
"Sister, please try one. Our cherries are amazing. It’s delicious. In fact, cherries can grow so big. Foreign cherries are about the same size, but cherries are just European cherries.”
Zhang An said as he grabbed two. Pass it to the eldest sister and let the other party try it first.
Zhang An’s exports are foreign cherries, such as cherries and European cherries, which attract many people to watch. People in this era are interested in foreign things, especially in backward places.
In their imagination, foreign things are always very advanced and good.
"This is really delicious, better than anything I have ever eaten. How do you sell it?" The elder sister who tasted it asked Zhang An for the price.
“This is six yuan a pound, eldest sister.”
Before Zhang An finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers commented that it was very expensive.
It is true that pork now only costs four yuan a pound, and a pound of cherries can buy one and a half pounds of pork.
But Zhang An didn't care, because his things were worth this price, and he didn't expect ordinary people to buy them.
"It's a bit expensive. Although the cherries are already out of the market, the price is still expensive. Brother, if you want a little less, I will buy a few kilograms."
"Oh my sister. Those imported cherries cost more than ten or twenty yuan a pound. My cherries are no worse than theirs. Well, if my sister really wants to sell them, I’ll give it a try. I’ll sell them to her for only five or eight yuan, okay? . ”
The woman originally wanted to bargain, but Zhang An said there was nothing left to say.
The woman's family is not in bad condition, and there are guests from the city at home today, so she needs to buy something to entertain the guests.
There are very few cherries now, and the ones I just ate were delicious.
"Okay, then weigh five pounds for me. Can you pick it yourself?"
"Yes, sister, the cherries in my house are all about the same. You will know after you pick them. . ”
It seems that the person in front of me is quite wealthy. Five pounds of cherries costs almost thirty yuan, but the other person doesn’t bat an eyelid.
After the first one, there was naturally a second one. When I saw someone buying it, a few people in the crowd came forward to try it and wanted to buy some.
Just tell Zhang An that they want five and eight dollars, and Zhang An will definitely agree without thinking.
But a few people didn't buy much, each person only bought about one or two kilograms, but this was already very good, and more people were reluctant to spend the money.
