Jiang Niannian was thinking about the canned fruit. After work, she hurried to the place where Sister Chen said.
She was afraid that the stall would be closed if she arrived late, so she didn't dare to delay along the way.
Fortunately, she was lucky. As soon as she left the city, she saw several men wearing straw hats squatting on the roadside. There was a cart parked next to them, which contained seasonal fruits.
Jiang Niannian looked at it, then pushed the cart to a store that had yellow peaches, and asked casually: "Uncle, how do you sell these peaches?"
The uncle was smoking a dry cigarette. He didn't look at her. He shook his pipe and said, "Just take it and give her a meal."
Jiang Niannian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that just as Sister Zhang said, peaches this year are cheaper than cabbage.
But it was an advantage for her. She was worried about what kind of business to do.
Now, the opportunity came directly to my door.
Jiang Niannian weighed the peaches in his hand, pointed at the cart, and said with a smile: "I want this cart, so I can't use it for a meal, right?"
"That's not the case." The uncle replied subconsciously, and immediately realized something. He stood up excitedly and asked in disbelief: "You want a car?"
"I want a car first," Jiang Niannian said.
The old man then raised his head, looked at her with squinted eyes, and then asked: "Little girl, are you still in school?"
Jiang Niannian was stunned for a moment, a little helpless, thinking that she was just playing house.
However, according to her current age, she is indeed in college. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is in college.
For the first time, Jiang Niannian felt that being young was actually a bit troublesome.
For example, right now, the old man is waving his hands and rushing people: "Little girl, go home early, your parents should be worried."
Jiang Niannian said seriously: "Uncle, I really want to buy it."
"Then you pick a few that you want to break. We won't charge you." The uncle said with narrowed eyes.
Jiang Niannian: "……."
"Uncle, if you don't sell it, I will go elsewhere."
With that said, he pushed the cart and prepared to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the uncle quickly stood up and stopped her, but still asked with some disbelief: "Girl, you are not bluffing, do you really want to buy a car?"
"Uncle, you really know how to joke. Why did I come all the way to lie to you?" Jiang Niannian smiled and explained: "It's almost the holidays. The factory heard that fruits are cheap this year, so they asked me to come over. Ask around and see if I can buy some from you and provide benefits to the workers."
"Then you should have told me earlier!"
The uncle smiled brightly, and even the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
He knows that the workers in this city are well treated, and they are given out things during the holidays. Eggs and meat are not uncommon, not to mention this fruit.
"These peaches cost fifty cents a pound, but they are all picked. If you want them all, I will give you a cheaper price. One cart will cost you thirty yuan." After speaking, the old man pointed at the cart again and said seriously. He said: "Don't worry, you won't lose money if you buy this car for ten yuan."
Jiang Niannian nodded and looked at the full car, knowing that it definitely weighed more than sixty kilograms.
Then he readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll take it all."
"But I can't pull it back at once, so I can only wait to find a bullock cart tomorrow to see if you can help me deliver it." Jiang Niannian said again.
"It's okay, I have a cow at home, right behind. If you want, I can just ask my son Damao to take it to you." The old man also smiled at this time and said cheerfully.
Jiang Niannian agreed and paid the bill directly. He also gave an extra two yuan and said, "I'd like you to help me deliver it."
"Forget it, it doesn't take much effort to raise your own cow. Besides, if you hadn't bought it, it would have been thrown into the ground tomorrow." The uncle waved his hands and said nothing.
Seeing this, Jiang Niannian had no choice but to give up.
She waited for a while, and then waited until the old man came over with his son and the cow.
The old man's son looked to be forty years old, and his skin was tanned and red. He looked very similar to the old man, giving him a down-to-earth feeling.
"Comrade Damao, we're in trouble." Jiang Niannian said quickly.
"What's the point?" This was the first time that Da Mao heard someone call him a comrade. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Okay, big sister, let's go."
The old man watched the two people disappear at the intersection, then turned around and walked towards his home with a smile.
When people on the side saw this, they couldn't help but ask: "Lao Wang, what's going on? Did you buy a whole car?"
"Yes, people in the factory said they were celebrating the holidays and wanted to buy some for the workers." The old man said.
"Okay, Lao Wang, you're lucky. You've met everyone in this factory."
"Hey, but I heard that there are at least a few hundred people in this factory. Isn't it too small to buy one car?"
"Yes, Lao Wang, don't be deceived. I sold a car last time, saying it was from the canteen, but it was brought back to me within two days. Only then did I know that the boy was a man from the canteen. If you can’t sell it anywhere, come here to cause trouble!”
Another old man with a beard had a sad look on his face. He was angry and a little aggrieved when he mentioned this.
At that time, that person was still a tough guy. If he said that he would not refund the money, he would find someone from the police and say that they were operating illegally and that they would have to pay compensation and go to jail.
Although everyone doesn't understand it, they know the consequences of speculation and the pros and cons involved.
What can I do in the end? I can only feel aggrieved and return the money to others.
In the end, the whole cart of fruit was spoiled and no money was made.
With such a commotion, no one dared to go to the city. They could only wait on the roadside to see if there was anyone delivering goods, and buy some to take back.
Mentioning this, the group couldn't help but sigh.
This year, all my hard work has been in vain!
"Lao Wang, don't be fooled."
The old man just waved his hand and said with a smile: "That girl doesn't look like a liar."
But having said that, he actually felt a little unsure.
Is that girl a liar again?
