Chapter 20 20. Old classmates at the vegetable market
People all have a herd mentality.
When a group of senior pickers from the market gather around a small stall and compete to buy, more and more people will follow.
Song Tan only felt that the QR code for payment kept ringing, and she kept loading dishes in her hands.
This one needs wild onions, that one needs shepherd’s purse, and another one needs malan head...
Fortunately, she is a cultivator with sharp eyes and quick hands. Otherwise, she would have been caught in this situation the first time she sold vegetables, and she would have been fished in troubled waters.
Qiaoqiao happily pulled the plastic bag aside, shook it, shook it open and handed it to her sister, having a great time.
He doesn’t understand business, but it’s really fun to open the bags!
“Qiaoqiao, just shout and we’ll tell you that the shepherd’s purse is sold out.”
“Oh.”
He put down the bag obediently, stood up straight, and put his hands to his mouth: "Shepherd's purse - sold out!"
After shouting like this, those who didn't buy it became more and more unwilling: "Why not? I’m waiting to make dumplings!”
Don’t give up and go to the front of the line - if there is no fish, shrimp will do!
When the customer further away heard it - what? Is there anyone selling shepherd's purse nowadays? Where is it sold? Is this sold out?
Oh, that shepherd’s purse must be good! I have to go take a look, recognize the stall, and get there early tomorrow!
So as the sun rose, there were more and more people in front of the stall. Qiaoqiao said in frustration:
"Sister, there are no bags."
Why do customers care now? Bag or not?
"It's okay! I have a bag. Quickly give me that bundle - the bundle next to me! I've scanned the code for you!"
"I have change - here, two bundles, Forty dollars.”
Qiaoqiao happily took it and said loudly: "I accept it!"
Oh, this great guy, so silly, looks so lovable, and the aunts' movements are becoming more and more gentle.
At this time, Qiao Qiao shouted again: "Wild onions - they are also sold out!"
Next was Malantou.
Purslane……
When there were only three handfuls of watercress left, the stall in front of me finally became quiet.
Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief. Now he looked at Qiao Qiao, only to see him staring at the child blowing bubbles in front of him, and looking at Song Tan expectantly.
Song Tan smiled: "Good Qiaoqiao, you helped me a lot today! Come and see, how much have you earned?"
Qiaoqiao quickly took out all the money in his pocket, The bits and pieces add up to more than 800 yuan, and most people bring cash in the vegetable market.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Song Tan generously gave him twenty: "Take it, don't go far. You can buy whatever you like around here." With Ling Qi helping to watch, he felt more at ease.
Otherwise, it would be really dangerous for a silly kid like him to wander outside.
Qiao Qiao received a large amount of money, and her heart was pounding.
He usually runs errands for the family, but this is the first time he has given so much money just to buy snacks!
Actually, he is not very good at addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There are no children of the same age in the village and he lacks communication.
But since Song Tan brought him out, he deliberately wanted to train him. Now he only has twenty yuan, so he can spend it as he likes. In my hometown, there were very few snacks in the village canteen, let alone toys.
"But if you don't have enough money, it won't work, and you won't be allowed to go far."
There are vegetable sellers by the river in the morning and people enjoying the shade in the evening. Naturally, there are also those selling children's things.
Qiao Qiao's eyes looked at the colorful windmills, the bubble machine, and the spicy sticks the children were eating...
He couldn't move for a moment.
...
And Song Tan looked at the payment on his mobile phone - 76 bundles of vegetables, with three bundles of watercress left.
860 in cash and 600 in mobile payment. It seems that I didn’t get fished in troubled waters today, I’m satisfied!
Look at the previous QR code group again - unfortunately, the aunts are good at picking food, but they seem unfamiliar and resistant when they scan the code to join the group. There are only 15 people.
However, this is also a good start!
Song Tan set up the group and made an announcement at the same time:
"Thank you for supporting this morning's wild vegetables. If they are not delicious, we guarantee a refund! Please rest assured. In addition, every time we sell vegetables I will notify you in advance in the group, I hope you don’t miss it..."
Before it was released, I heard an incredible voice beside me: "Song Tan?"
Song Tan raised his head. , I saw a young woman holding a man's arm and looking at her in surprise.
Song Tan thought for a long time before pulling this person out of her memory: "Wu Qianqian?"
Her high school classmate.
"Yes!" Wu Qianqian looked at her outfit - an old down jacket, sneakers, long hair simply tied with a black rubber band, and a plain face.
Although the skin is delicate and flawless, the facial features become more and more comfortable and beautiful...
But, what's the use of that?
Look, in front of her was a large basket that was empty except for some vegetable leaves, soil, and three bundles of unknown vegetables.
It’s obviously leftovers from selling vegetables!
Wu Qianqian's eyes showed deep disbelief and sympathy: "I heard that you work in Ningcheng? Why are you selling vegetables in the vegetable market now?"
Song Tan She was delicate, beautiful, and gentle, and many boys in the class were kind to her.
Wu Qianqian had a little temper at that time, scolding everyone, and looked down upon Song Tan.
Later, she took the college entrance examination and met her current boyfriend in school, who was the one next to her.
Now that the other party came to visit her home, Wu Qianqian also wanted to show off, so she took the person to visit the vegetable market.
I didn’t expect such a “surprise” to meet an old classmate.
Song Tan smiled slightly: "Yeah, the pressure in the provincial capital is too great, so I just went back to my hometown to be with my parents. Do you want to buy wild vegetables? The watercress I just picked yesterday is delicious when mixed with it."< br>
She said it so openly, but Wu Qianqian was stuck. The boyfriend next to her took a serious look at the vegetables in the basket: "This is a wild vegetable? How to eat it? Is it delicious?"
Before Song Tan could answer, Qiao Qiao happily came back with a colorful windmill. When she saw someone wanted to buy food, she became even more excited: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! Qiao Qiao wants to eat three big bowls by herself!"
No matter what it is, he has the same delicious concept as shepherd’s purse dumplings.
His eyes are innocent and he smiles like a child. The pity on Wu Qianqian's face is even more obvious: "Oh, yes, you said when you were in school that you have a younger brother who is not very smart-"
Before she finished speaking, her boyfriend beside her coughed. Wu Qianqian quickly stopped and smiled sheepishly.
Then he carefully picked up the straw rope tied to the watercress with his fingers, picked it up and looked at it:
"It's not easy for you either. I heard that in rural areas, boys are often favored over girls...ah, I mean, I want all this food."
Song Tan didn't care.
People with a condescending and pitying mentality can be found everywhere, and they may just be looking for a sense of superiority, and they may not necessarily have bad intentions.
With a hundred years of practice, it doesn’t matter anymore.
So now she treats Wu Qianqian’s boyfriend as a customer:
"There is no need to buy three bundles. After all, watercress is a wild vegetable. If you have never eaten it, you may not be able to cook it well."
"If you want to try something new, just buy one bundle. Go home and fry it in pepper oil. Use chili soy sauce, salt, vinegar or something, blanch it in water and mix it..."
The boyfriend beside Wu Qianqian listened seriously, even a little greedy:
"Okay, then We want to try a bundle - how much does it cost?”
Recommend this book: “My File Can Be Very Thick”
The setting is very interesting and worth a look! Of course, it depends, the monthly ticket must belong to me...
