Jiang Ning originally wanted to warn them to be careful of similar scams, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Xue Yuantong looks stupid, but he is actually very smart. Moreover, with Aunt Gu's education, Tongtong rarely takes advantage of others.
As for Xue Chuchu, let alone 600 yuan, she would consider it for a long time even if it was only 6 yuan.
"Let's go, it's time to eat."
Previously, the stall owner was planning to default on his debt, but later Ma Shicheng and others stepped forward. After Jiang Ning received the bonus, he originally planned to treat a few people to a meal, but Ma Shicheng declined.
…
"Brother Ma, why didn't you go just now? Jiang Ning earned more than 800!" Cui Yu was depressed.
Ma Shicheng asked back: "If we don't show up, will the boss pay in the end?"
Cui Yu subconsciously wanted to say no, but then he thought of Jiang Ning's strength. When the words came to his lips, he reacted: "If I don't give it to you, the boss will definitely get beaten."
"That's terrible. Besides, didn't you see Jiang Ning brought two girls?" Ma Shicheng said.
Cui Yu immediately understood, "Indeed, we can't disturb Brother Ning."
Ma Shicheng patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely invite him back in the future."
While talking, the few people continued to move forward.
Cui Yu bought a few cups of mung bean soup and shared them with Ma Shicheng and the others. Walking along the night market, Cui Yu and Meng Gui were attracted by the hot girls dancing on the stage.
Ma Shicheng aimed at the two-yuan store in the distance.
When he was halfway there, a man in a baseball cap approached stealthily.
The man said mysteriously: "Brother, do you want to buy a mobile phone? The latest iPhone 5S, fingerprint unlocking."
He slid the screen to demonstrate, "If you are in a hurry to sell it, I will sell you a phone worth several thousand yuan for 800 yuan."
The mobile phone dealer had been slapped in the face by Jiang Ning before. He got angrier and angrier when he got back. He asked his accomplice to get a 5S and continued to deceive people.
Ma Shicheng noticed something was wrong at first glance. It was similar to a routine he had seen before on Tieba.
So Ma Shicheng angrily accused: "You are not patriotic, how can you use an iPhone?"
The phone dealer was stunned: "Why is it unpatriotic to use an iPhone?"
Ma Shicheng sternly rebuked: "It is because of people like you that the money circle has been taken away by foreigners, and we are lagging behind!"
The dealer finally understood what was going on. He was so unlucky to have run into a moron!
He cursed inwardly and turned away.
Ma Shicheng thought for a moment, turned on his phone screen, and announced in the class group:
"If you are coming to the small temple fair, please be careful of the mobile phone dealers. They sell mobile phones cheaply, but they are actually scammers."
The news immediately spread to many classmates. Chen Siyu said: "I'm at Hongxing Street. Where is the liar?"
Ma Shicheng: "At the south end of the street, just be careful."
Zhang Chi: "Selling mobile phones at a low price? What kind of mobile phones?"
“Don’t worry about what kind of phone it is. You can’t beat the scammers anyway,” said Ma Shicheng.
After receiving the reply, Zhang Chi felt underestimated: "I will be deceived? Haha."
"I'm on Hongxing Street. Can you tell the scammer where he is?"
Ma Shicheng gave up helping others: "Just hang around more, they might come to you on their own initiative."
At this time, Zhang Chi and Yan Tianpeng were shopping. He was working on weekends to earn money, while Yan Tianpeng stayed behind under the pretext of investigating the market.
Since Chen Xu developed the mobile phone rental business, the campus mobile vendor business was inherited by Yan Tianpeng.
"Tianpeng, I heard in the group that there are people selling mobile phones at a cheap price. Do you plan to get one?" Carrying cement is really too tiring.
After finishing his work in the afternoon, he just wanted to go back to sleep. If Yan Tianpeng hadn't promised to invite him to the night market for a meal, Zhang Chi would never come out.
"Let's go and take a look." The two of them looked for opportunities to make a fortune together.
Yan Tianpeng, who is 1.9 meters tall and as strong as a black bear, stared at both sides of the road.
The cell phone vendor in the baseball cap saw the two of them at a glance.
He looked at the man's burly figure, then thought about his two accomplices, and the mobile phone dealer did not dare to take a step forward.
Zhang Chi walked around five or six times, but couldn't find anyone selling a mobile phone.
"Damn it, I still don't believe it!"
He and Yan Tianpeng continued shopping.
…
The Chen Siyu sisters didn't mind the heat. They held hands, wore the same clothes, and had the same pretty faces. Anyone who noticed them would often take a few more glances at them.
Chen Siyu walked to a small handicraft stall. The stall owner was a woman dressed very young, only a few years older than them.
There were all kinds of small accessories and toys. Chen Siyu aimed at a row of flat strips, which were various bookmarks.
Jiang Ning likes reading. When they went to Nanshi before, they brought bookmarks for Jiang Ning when they came back.
Chen Siyu said: "Sister, Jiang Ning often gives us food, it's time to repay him."
Chen Siqing touched the emerald koi on her wrist and said, "Yes, buy him two."
So the two girls picked out bookmarks, one of which was wooden and lute-shaped with blue tassels.
The other one is made of mahogany with ancient words carved on it and has black tassels.
"Have you made your choice?" asked the female stall owner.
"Well, that's it." The sisters nodded together.
Seeing how good-looking the twins were, the young female stall owner smiled and said, "The total is 16 yuan."
Chen Siyu thought it was still a bit expensive, so she asked tentatively, "Is 15 okay?"
The female stall owner thought for two seconds: "15."
The two sisters chose the bookmarks and stood up and said, "Sister, let me tell you, Jiang Ning brought a kind of grapes that are really delicious."
Chen Siqing: "It's so delicious, why didn't you call me?"
Chen Siyu's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she actually said this out loud!
She quickly made up: "Last time there were too few grapes, I only got a little bit, and it was difficult to call you."
However, Chen Siqing spent every day with her sister and knew her very well. When she saw her sister's expression, the seeds of doubt immediately sprouted in her heart.
She had made up her mind to ask Bai Yuxia when she got home.
At the candied haws stall not far away, a tall figure stood out like a crane among chickens, and his long white legs were dazzlingly white under the light.
Chen Siyu recognized people by their legs: "Isn't that Tang Fu from our table?"
Chen Siqing remembered her back:
"Yeah, it's her."
Chen Siyu brought her sister to look for Tang Fu. Chen Siqing was very happy. Although Tang Fu was very tall, the two sisters felt like they were looking down on her.
It’s not for anything else, but because of the supreme superiority of IQ.
As long as they are with Tang Fu, the two sisters feel that they are wise.
"Tang Fu." Chen Siyu called.
Tang Fu was holding a newly bought string of candied fruit. She was very happy to see an acquaintance in the crowded night market and immediately invited him:
"Together?"
Chen Siyu agreed immediately.
The original twin formation now had an extremely tall girl.
Chen Siyu is more than ten centimeters shorter than her.
"Tang Fu, can you grow to 1.8 meters in the future?" Chen Siqing asked.
"I'm already 1.8 meters tall." Tang Fu said proudly. She is only 16 years old. She went to the hospital for a check-up last month and was found that her epiphyseal line has not closed yet, so she can continue to grow taller.
Chen Siyu was secretly surprised. There were few boys in her class who were over 1.8 meters tall. They were too tall.
After walking for a few minutes, Tang Fu bought a skipping rope.
The two sisters stopped in front of a shoe stall. Whenever they bought something, they always bought the same thing or a couple's pair.
Chen Siqing chose a pair of sandals and her sister clamored to buy them.
"How much?"
The lady selling shoes said, "18 a pair."
"What about buying two pairs?" Chen Siyu asked.
"Two pairs for 36, I'll give you one off, 35."
Chen Siyu didn't believe the price. She knew that she could bargain at the night market, so she discussed with her aunt:
"Auntie, are you selling it for 30?"
Auntie shook her head: "No, I've already cut 6 dollars off. How can that be okay?"
Chen Siqing said: "We only have 30 left. If we can't buy it with 30, we really can't afford it."
She spoke with all her heart, as if it were true.
The aunt has eaten more rice than the little girl has eaten salt. She knows what the other person is thinking. Having no money is just an excuse.
But it seemed that 30 was really the other party's bottom price, so she relaxed a little, "6 is too much."
"Auntie, please, I will introduce my friends to buy from you in the future." Chen Siyu joined the bargaining battle.
The aunt's attitude became more relaxed, and the two sisters felt safe.
It seemed that a deal was about to be reached.
Tang Fu, who was eating candied haws nearby, suddenly recalled a time when she bought Oreos in the store and forgot to bring money, so Jiang Ning paid for her.
'What's the saying? When you see injustice, draw your sword and help!'
Tang Fu's mind suddenly flashed, and she immediately said:
"Are you short of 5 dollars? It's okay, I can lend it to you."
…
South of Hongxing Street.
The aroma filled the air as many guests ate at open-air tables, enjoying spicy hot pot, fried skewers, beer, rice wine, and all kinds of delicious food.
Xue Chuchu took Tongtong by the hand and followed Jiang Ning in front.
Xue Yuantong would occasionally say something was delicious and guide Jiang Ning to eat this or that. As for Xue Chuchu, she didn't express her opinion.
When she is out and about, if she is with someone else, she prefers to be in a passive position.
Xue Chuchu is strong inside and still a traditional girl at heart.
Xue Yuantong stopped in front of the ice cream truck. She wanted to buy some for Chuchu, but Chuchu declined.
While the ice cream was being made, Xue Chuchu's skirt was gently rubbed. She looked down and saw a little boy, about four or five years old, holding an ice cream cone.
There was a coin-sized stain on Xue Chuchu's green skirt, which seemed to be caused by the ice cream in the little boy's hand.
The little boy quickly apologized: "Sorry, sister, I was too anxious!"
He looked annoyed when he apologized. It was all his fault.
Xue Chuchu took out a piece of paper, wiped the stain, and said softly: "It's okay, you should be more careful next time."
A well-dressed young woman came up from behind and apologized, "I'm sorry."
Xue Chuchu said again: "It doesn't matter."
After saying that, she continued to wait for her ice cream.
At this time, the young woman bought two more ice cream cones. When the ice cream was ready, she smiled at Chuchu:
"For you."
Xue Chuchu was stunned and waved her hand to refuse.
But the young woman insisted on giving it to them, so Xue Chuchu had to accept it, and the young woman left with her son.
Xue Yuantong bit the ice cream: "Chu Chu, eat it quickly, it will melt soon."
Xue Chuchu opened her little mouth and took a bite. It was very sweet.
…
"Snakehead or catfish?"
At the entrance of the grilled fish restaurant, Jiang Ning looked at the fresh fish in the glass tank.
Xue Yuantong was more direct: "Which one is better?"
The boss said: "Forktail catfish is more tender and has fewer bones, so it is suitable for girls to eat."
Jiang Ning made the final decision: "Forktail catfish."
The boss fished out a forktail catfish with a net and weighed it on the scale: "2.5 jin, okay?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
"What's spicy?"
"Medium spicy, please." Jiang Ning also ordered a serving of ice wine and some barbecue. The restaurant is quite big and there are many foods inside.
They came to the open-air table outside. In this kind of weather, it was a good experience to dine outside.
There were several tables of guests sitting around, some were playing finger-guessing games, and the atmosphere was noisy and bustling.
Jiang Ning cast a spell, reducing the volume slightly, and his ears became much quieter.
When Xue Chuchu sat down, some guests at nearby tables looked at her in amazement. Her appearance always attracted attention no matter where she was.
"Chu Chu, have you ever eaten catfish?"
"No."
"The boss said it has fewer bones than snakehead fish." Xue Yuantong placed two tissues on the table, rested his arms on it, and supported his chin.
"Jiang Ning, did you ever get a fish bone stuck in your throat when you were a child?"
"Yes, but it's not serious," said Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong turned to Chu Chu and said, "Do you remember when someone in our village got a fish bone stuck in his throat when we were little?"
"I remember." Xue Chuchu couldn't help laughing when she thought of that scene.
Xue Yuantong smiled and said, "Jiang Ning, you must not get stuck by the fishbone, otherwise it will be very serious."
Jiang Ning said: "It's not serious, we can go to the hospital and have it removed."
Xue Yuantong: "It was especially serious when we were kids!"
"One day a child in our village got a fish bone stuck in his throat and couldn't go to the hospital because the adults thought it was too troublesome to go to the hospital."
Jiang Ning agreed with this. In the past, when someone in the village fell ill, unless the condition was really serious, they were often too lazy to go to the hospital and would at most go to a small clinic in the village for treatment.
"The child was later crying because of a fish bone stuck in his throat. The parents had no choice but to use a remedy passed down from their ancestors."
Xue Yuantong said, gesturing with his hands, "His father went to the ditch to catch ducks, told the child to open his mouth, held the duck upside down, and poured duck saliva into the child's throat."
Xue Chuchu whispered, "Duck's saliva."
"The child cried and screamed, and after a while, the fishbone disappeared." She laughed happily.
Jiang Ning had heard of this folk remedy before, but he didn't expect that someone would actually try it.
"Can duck saliva dissolve fish bones?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Chuchu said: "Theoretically, it is possible, but it requires duck saliva to be in contact with the fish bone for a long time."
Xue Yuantong was surprised: "How long did it take that time?"
Xue Chuchu added: "Maybe the child was stimulated and swallowed a fish bone."
…
The night market is brightly lit.
Shan Xiao was wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts, walking on Hongxing Street.
His clothes had no patterns on them, which highlighted his simplicity, and his old face looked honest.
When the man in the baseball cap saw the boy, he immediately locked onto him, thinking that he was honest and simple-minded and was easy to cheat.
'This order will definitely open!'
He tightened his cap and approached stealthily, "Brother, do you want to buy a phone? The new 5S, how new do you think it is?"
He demonstrated as usual.
He lowered his voice and said, "I just got it and I'm in a hurry to get it out. Look, it's unlocked."
Shan Xiao looked interested: "How much?"
When the man in the baseball cap heard him asking for the price, he was so excited that he stared at a few people in front of him, and they either thought his phone was junk or accused him of being unpatriotic.
Now that he met a normal person, he actually felt sad.
However, his professional qualities allow him to continue cheating.
"The price is 800!"
Shan Xiao: "It's too expensive. Aren't you in a hurry to sell it? Give me 200, please?"
The man in the baseball cap swiped the screen: "Look how smooth it is, the screen is completely original, and the fingerprints are still intact. If I'm not in a hurry to sell it, how can I sell it to you for 800?"
"Here, check it out." The man in the baseball cap handed over the phone generously.
After some bargaining, the two finally agreed on a deal of 350.
The price of the baseball cap has not been raised anymore. That’s enough. It’s a no-cost business anyway.
"Wait a minute, I'll change the SIM card." The man in the baseball cap turned off his phone and used a SIM card pin to penetrate the SIM card slot.
Shan Xiao took the opportunity to take out his money. The man in the baseball cap glanced at the other person casually, with a strange light in his eyes.
After taking out the card and collecting the money, he handed the 5S to Shan Xiao as if nothing had happened.
"Brother, happy cooperation!" The man in the baseball cap walked away in a flash.
Shan Xiao was still playing with his phone.
The man in the baseball cap blended into the crowd and winked at his accomplice, and the other two quickly left Hongxing Street.
In a corner, a man in a baseball cap pulled out some money: "Hahaha, I got 350!"
The other two strong men praised: "Not bad, your skills are amazing!"
"Haha, how can I not do this kind of handicraft to make a living?" The man in the baseball cap slid 5S, and the elegant iOS animation flashed. What he just gave to others was a model phone.
While changing the card, he switched it.
He held up the 5S and said smugly: "Listen to me and use the 5S in the future, otherwise people will just look down on you."
As he was about to take out his iPhone 5, he felt his pocket and it was empty.
The guy in the baseball cap was stunned for a moment: "Fuck, where's my 5?"
