No matter how hard we tried, we were still a little late when we arrived at the vegetable market.
Now it is the end of March, the weather is getting warmer, and the vegetables in the vegetable market are becoming more and more diverse.
Just as Song Tan put the basket in place, she saw the vendor next door staring at her eagerly.
Ever since she bought a bunch of astragalus from the stall next door reluctantly that time, he would still look at her with a conflicted look every day even though he had a pile of vegetables in front of him. She was used to it now.
Speaking of which, the vegetable vendors are also feeling bitter.
He couldn't forget the vegetables that the girl next door had eaten once. But he was also a vegetable seller, so if he went to buy vegetables from the girl next door, wouldn't that be helping the enemy? What would the customers think when they saw it
So I was fighting with myself every day, struggling with all kinds of things. When I finally made up my mind to buy it…
Well, they have closed their stall.
Today, he is still stuck in this vicious circle, ignoring the juicy and tender cabbages on the stall in front of him.
Song Tan saw it inadvertently and felt a little greedy.
After all, to her, sweet clover with added spiritual energy is still sweet clover. After eating it for so many days, she is really a little tired of it.
But pakchoy is different.
The taste is crisp, without a trace of bitterness, and the growth cycle is short. The fastest can be harvested in ten to twenty days. There is also chicken feather vegetable, which grows a lot...
If you use spiritual energy to induce labor, it might only take two weeks.
From this perspective, the sales of Astragalus membranaceus will be over in about a week, and then there will be a few days of slack, so that customers can calm down for a few days and save more money, and then -
Serious greens attack!
Song Tan made a decision immediately:
This afternoon I urged Qiao Qiao to dig the vegetable garden and sow the seeds at night!
…
The 200 kilograms of sweet clover brought today were still very popular.
Since there is no need to weigh money and payment is always in round numbers, and everyone is familiar with scanning the code to pay, Qiao Qiao has received less cash recently.
His movements are becoming more and more skillful now, and as long as he doesn't say anything, there is no sign of any problem. Aunt Mao Li had been strolling in the vegetable market for a while, and when she saw a group of people crowded together in front of her, she couldn't help but move over.
"Hey, what's that for?"
She asked a vegetable vendor in front of her, while breaking off a leaf of the Chinese cabbage in her hand with familiarity.
The vegetable vendor was also watching, and subconsciously replied:
"I sell Chinese astragalus. It's 20 yuan per pound..."
The words he said were sour and greedy.
However, when he turned his head and looked at the actions of the aunt in front of him, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you breaking my cabbage? If you want to buy it, just buy it."
Mao Li continued to pick the leaves confidently: "I'm going to buy vegetables, I definitely can't take these old leaves. Let me pick them first, don't worry, I will definitely take the ones that have been picked."
The vegetable vendor stopped her and said, "Sister, the pakchoy in this season haven't grown at all, so how can there be any old leaves? If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't waste it."
Mao Li got angry and said, "Who said I won't buy it? I'm buying it right now. How much is it per pound?"
"Six dollars and a half."
"Tsk," Mao Li sighed, "You vegetable vendors are getting more and more unscrupulous. No one wants these vegetables even if they are given away for free in the countryside."
There are many people like this in the vegetable market, wearing big gold chains and small bracelets, and they will haggle for a long time when buying vegetables.
The vegetable vendor also raised his voice: "We are not from the countryside, are we? Besides, this is the price of vegetables in this season. If you don't believe me, look at the whole market."
Mao Li failed to bargain, and grunted as she stuffed six or seven cabbages into the bag: "Weigh them for me."
Then he pulled another bag and put the leaves he had just broken into it: "No one wants these old leaves, so I'll pick them up and take them away."
It's over. It was too late to stop him just now. What if he turns around and says no? What can we do if we hit him in this society ruled by law
The vegetable vendor had no choice but to weigh it for her with a gloomy face: "Seven dollars and fifty cents."
Mao Li took out some change from the small bag around her waist as if she was familiar with the place.
"What era is this? You still want fifty cents? It's only seven dollars."
The vegetable vendor tapped the QR code in front of him and said, "Scan it."
His face was gloomy, and Mao Li didn't dare to go too far for a moment. She could only scan the code and muttered that she would never come again.
The vegetable vendor was so angry that he turned around and looked again, only to see that the man selling astragalus in front of him was about to close his stall and actually squeezed past!
…
Mao Li saw her niece only after everyone here had left. Well, this astragalus is not a good thing. She is probably the only one in the entire vegetable market.
But seeing that everyone had their pockets full, she felt a little jealous.
"Tan Tan, you said you were a college student, so I thought you were just joking around, but you really came here to sell vegetables? Oh, look how lively it is, you are selling something famous!"
Qiao Qiao's face wrinkled instantly: "Aunt, Qiao Qiao also sells vegetables!"
Mao Li glanced at him, ignored him, and then praised Song Tan again:
"You are a beautiful child, and you are also very hardworking. Wait for your aunt to help you find a good partner. You can stay in the city and save yourself the hard work."
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, you are beautiful and educated. I will help your family get more gifts when the time comes. Then Qiao Qiao won't have to worry about money when she gets married again."
Song Tan raised his eyebrows: What do you mean
It's no use looking for anything here.
She also put on a fake smile: "Aunt, are you here to buy groceries? There's exactly three pounds left, a total of sixty yuan."
As soon as the price was announced, Mao Li's movements as she squatted on the ground and picked among the three bundles of vegetables immediately froze.
"Twenty yuan a pound?"
She said incredulously, "You kid, even if you want to make money, you can't do this! This astragalus is too much to feed to cows, and your own relatives want 20 yuan a pound?"
She stood up, her face serious: "Tan Tan, if you do this, I, as your elder, will have to scold you."
"You can sell vegetables. Our family doesn't mind you being embarrassed. We are all working people."
"I didn't plan to come here to buy vegetables. The market is too far away and the things are expensive. But your sister-in-law is kind-hearted and said that since we are relatives, we should come to take care of the business. I did come here, but you, kid, not only are you selling vegetables in an unkind way, but why don't you consider the relationship between relatives?"
Song Tan also looked indifferent: "Aunt, vegetables cost 20 yuan a pound, and I gave you five pounds last time. Isn't this enough as a kinship?"
"The whole market knows that my vegetables are priced at this price. If you want to eat them, just buy them. Don't ask if I will take care of you. I have no shortage of customers."
"As for whether it's authentic or not... My stuff is good and worth the price. If you can't bear to part with it, the auntie behind is still waiting."
Sure enough, there was an aunt behind, wearing a silk coat, a jade bracelet on her hand, and her hair was meticulously groomed. She looked much more respectable than my aunt.
She was watching the fun—not only her, but all the vegetable vendors around came to watch the fun.
I didn't expect to be called out suddenly, so I gave her face now: "Yes, the girl's vegetables are good, and my family buys vegetables from her every day. Look, the girl came a little late this morning, and my daughter didn't wait for her because she was at work, so she asked me to come again."
While skillfully scanning the QR code for Qiao Qiao to pay, she said, "My dear, pack up the remaining three for Auntie."
