Many times have I thought about what would happen if I were reborn? Unexpectedly, I actually encountered it. When I recalled the opportunities that could make me rich, I realized that they were all broad and vague memory fragments. I knew that real estate would be a pillar industry in the next twenty years, and that the Internet would be the general direction in the next twenty years. So what?

Sitting in front of the small desk, Wei Tao wrote a few words with a carbon pen and retraced these words several times.

[Fresh fruit and vegetable supermarket. 】

Regret for not studying more has no meaning at this moment. Regret for not observing international events and market changes more carefully in the future life is also an afterthought. If I had known that I could be reborn, even if it was a cantilever, a cone and a thorn, I would have taken those who can take advantage of the trend. And the details of making money are engraved in the memory, and you can just lie down and take advantage of them.

Now, the way people buy fruits and vegetables from wet markets and roadside stalls has been changed to entering the house with bright windows. The change in the windy and rainy environment not only provides convenience to sellers, but also allows buyers to have greater freedom. s Choice. This is also the best way that Wei Tao can think of for the short-term development of his family.

It is easy to be copied, and it is easy to be picked. From small shops to small supermarkets, from roadside stalls to fruit and vegetable supermarkets, the general trend is that after you take a small bite first, you will not have the opportunity to take a second bite and someone will Grab food cleanly.

Shaking his head, he capped the carbon pen, smiled to himself, and thought about taking a second bite. It would be great if he could take the first, small bite.

call!

Taking a deep breath, exhaling slowly, adjusting the alarm clock, Wei Tao forced himself to lie on the single bed and fall asleep. The back window was open. Outside the screen window, there was the sound of insects, which also brought a little breeze, so that he would not fall asleep. This hot summer is being steamed up in this small space.

I'm used to staying up all night, and it's only nine o'clock. I really can't fall asleep. No matter how hard I force myself to fall asleep, my mind is still filled with thoughts that pop up automatically.

Those people who exist in my memory, those friends who still intersect with my life after more than ten or twenty years, how are you?

A year later, I went out to work and drifted all the way from the provincial capital to a big city. I was in my thirties, had several girlfriends, and even talked about getting married, but because of the cruel reality and when it came time to get the certificate, I looked at each other. , I found out that you can get married just for the sake of getting married, or you can find someone you don’t hate.

We looked at each other and smiled and said no more. After a while, some quarreled over trivial matters, and some were because I had to go back to my hometown or changed jobs and lived far away. We had a quiet meal without blessing and waving my hands. goodbye.

In the two or three years before his rebirth, Wei Tao was an older young man who was still young enough to live in a big city and whose mother no longer urged him to get married in his hometown. Wei Tao also lost interest in marriage. Living in a big city was stressful, and he had to keep in touch with friends and classmates from his hometown. Not much. After being reborn, I still miss them.

Just now...

Let’s support this family first.

At three o'clock, the alarm clock rang. Wei Tao, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly woke up, sat up suddenly, shook his head to dispel the daze frightened by the sound of the alarm clock, breathed several times quickly, and heard the mother next door pulling. The sound of the light rope was accompanied by the crack of the door, and the light of the light filtered in.

"Xiao Tao, are you up?"

"Get up, Mom."

The jeans that he had to say goodbye to after gaining over 200 pounds in ten years, a pair of ordinary cloth shoes, and a black T-shirt, all together, cost less than a hundred yuan, which is already one of the only two sets of clothes he wears in summer. .

"It's cold in the morning, so bring some clothes."

Seeing her son wearing a T-shirt, Zhou Xinglian motioned for him to put on a jacket.

Wei Tao rummaged around and took out the school uniform of the technical school. If this was placed on the eighteen-year-old Wei Tao, he would never wear it after graduation, let alone when practicing a stall on the street. Maybe My classmates from the technical school didn't even notice me when I walked by. I was wearing such an obvious school uniform top...

Now he puts it on without any pressure, brushes his teeth and washes his face, and pushes the three-wheeled motorcycle out of the courtyard door in the moonlight. When his mother locks the courtyard door, gets on the car and sits in the back bucket, he starts the motorcycle and rides all the way. , drove for a few minutes in an area illuminated entirely by motorcycle lights, and then drove onto the county road in the city that leads to the large reservoir and scenic spots further away.

It usually takes half an hour to ride a bicycle to the high-rise building area of ​​Jiangnan in the city, but now it only takes ten minutes.

In the vegetable wholesale market, Aunt Liu had already arrived. When she saw the couple getting a three-wheeled motorcycle, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face. It was obvious that her enthusiasm had dropped a lot today.

Zhou Xinglian is an honest person. She has been a worker in factories all her life. When she was a child, she was also the little sister of the family. She has never mastered the art of observing words and emotions. She is still smiling. Sister Liu keeps chatting, trying to She also buys whatever goods others buy.

Wei Tao doesn't want to persuade his mother, nor will he. She has been able to survive so many years by herself because she is so "heartless" and doesn't take everything seriously.

This is good. This time, with your son here, Mom, you can continue your "optimist" lifestyle.

Service industry, sales, after-sales. Wei Tao has done similar jobs, including a small vegetable market. After spending two days with Aunt Liu in the morning, he has understood everything that needs to be understood. If his face was not too tender and looked like a child, he would not have wanted his mother to get up so early. It’s totally okay to sleep an extra hour at home.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, leeks, coriander, green onions, potatoes, peppers, garlic sprouts, green peppers...

The day before, Wei Tao took his second-hand transmission car to the wholesale market and parked it in the carport. People started coming here at twelve o'clock in the evening. Carts from the countryside were bringing vegetables in. There were many people parked in the carport. Don't worry about losing your bike.

When the vegetables came in, the back bucket of the three-wheeled motorcycle was full. Vegetables that could withstand a certain amount of squeezing were placed underneath, and vegetables that could not be squeezed or bumped were placed on top. Aunt Liu did not tell Zhou Xinglian the quantity of each vegetable. , Wei Tao made his own decision. There were two boxes of vegetables worth more than a thousand yuan, including cucumbers and tomatoes, and one box or half a box for the others. Seeing that his son directly made the decision and seemed to know how to pick and choose. , Zhou Xinglian is also responsible for paying, even though he talks about his son, is that okay? Have you bought too much and no longer choose? After all, it’s better to pay the bill.

I don't know if her mother's character flaw is good or bad, but it saves Wei Tao a lot of energy. Although she mumbles and talks about whether this will work or not, deep down she still hopes that someone will make the decision for her. The ideal target is of course the eldest sister’s colleague, Sister Liu, but she was obviously a little less enthusiastic today. When wholesale vegetables, she only occasionally mentioned: “You can buy a box of this.”

As for how to find good ones among the boxes of wholesale vegetables without having to rummage through them, Aunt Liu didn't say anything, nor did she help Wei Tao and his son select things. Zhou Xinglian and Wei Tao had no choice but to pick things based on their experience. When I opened the lid of the box and saw that it looked good, I pretended to look through it from the side. I listened to the vegetable wholesale boss saying that my products are all good. I believed him and added a sentence or two: "If the goods are good, I’ll get it at your house every day from now on.”

Whether it is possible to use the long term in exchange for not playing some industry tricks, Wei Tao can only try with the mentality of learning from each experience and gaining wisdom.

For vegetables, the morning market is still a stall during the day. It is close to a large wholesale market. The prices are similar for everyone. The amount of money you make depends on the same quantity of vegetables. Is the 'quality' of the vegetables you wholesale higher?

What ultimately determines your profit from a box of vegetables is how much wastage there was, how much of the fur was almost in need of a price reduction, and how much of the fur was left to be sold at the end of the day when the fur was completely bad and was thrown away in a pile? If you have less of these two, you will make more. If you have more of these two, it is most likely that you will not make any money in the end.

Compensation should be out of the question.

As long as the daily necessities for people's livelihood are not completely 'withered' or 'rotten' after a day or two of delay, it is just a matter of making more or less. On a hot day, you may get up early and be too late. If your morning market sales are not good enough, you still need to find a place to practice stalling during the day. People are still enduring on the roadside in the wind, sun, rain, and earning hard-earned money. .
