38. The road to fortune

It wasn't until after one o'clock at noon that Ma Liang arrived in the countryside, took the money, and went directly to Ergouzi's house to discuss the price and time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was almost like going to the market.

The next step is a bit difficult, what should I buy for Xia Xue?

Clothes? I don’t know what size they are. It will be difficult to change them when the time comes.

I plan to go to the small supermarket first, buy some napkins, and then look for other things.

After walking a few feet, there was a food stall. A fat bald man held a fan and a dark leather bag around his neck.

"Would you like to buy some food?" he greeted.

Ma Liangliang was moved and stopped: "Are there any cucumbers and radishes for sale?"

The fat man immediately became suspicious and contemptuous.

"Why are there cucumbers and radishes for sale at this time of year? I want as much as you have," he said with a smile.

"what price"

He was stunned: "You really have it? Stop talking nonsense. You want it, eight cents of radish and one piece of cucumber! I want as much as you have!" When he said this, Ma Liang was stunned.

Is it so expensive? Then the bucket of water you bought in the morning actually cost more than 100 yuan?

Seeing that Ma Liang was thinking about it, the fat man also had Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. He had been selling vegetables for many years, so he knew the market clearly. He couldn't sell them at a high price here, but at that time, the price of radishes and cucumbers in the city would definitely more than double.

Vegetable sellers often come here to collect vegetables, which are all seasonal vegetables.

"But it's a lot. If it's less, I won't buy it," he added.

"I grow vegetables in the greenhouse, and I have one hundred catties of cucumbers, sixty or seventy catties of radishes, and more." Ma Liang was not so thoughtful and told the truth.

Greenhouse vegetables? Sure enough, this is high-tech, and only greenhouse vegetables can have radishes and cucumbers at this time.

I didn't expect this person to be quite powerful.

But the cost of greenhouse vegetables is not low. After thinking about it, the price seemed a bit low, and he probably wouldn't sell it. So the fat man said: "There are so many, cucumbers are $1.50, and radishes are $1."

Just like that, the price of things you grow yourself has increased again?

"Then I'll pretend to be here during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Ma Liangliang felt a little happy.

"Then, you have to pay the shipping fee yourself. It must be fresh and not spoiled." The fat man agreed, and he was going to make a small profit.

"By the way, my surname is Huang, most people call me Ah Huang," he added.

"My name is Ma Liang, and I also want to ask, which dish is the most expensive at this time?"

"The most expensive?" Ah Huang was startled. This guy is a bit weird. He doesn't know which vegetables are the most expensive, but he has the nerve to grow greenhouse vegetables?

"You don't know? The most expensive thing is definitely coriander. If you want it, I'll give it five yuan a pound!"

Ah Huang snickered in his heart, you pay five yuan a catty, I can sell it for ten yuan a catty.

"Next, I'll go to the seed store and ask." Ma Liang was a little excited. It cost five yuan a pound. Although the yield of coriander is low, the unit price is high and it is convenient.

"Are you really a greenhouse farmer?" Seeing his expression, Ah Huang became a little suspicious again.

Ma Liang nodded: "You will know when the time comes to pretend."

"That's okay." Ah Huang didn't say any more. Anyway, he would only pay when the food arrived. Even if he was bored and deceived, there would be no loss.

"What other dishes have good prices?" Ma Liang had to do his homework.

"I said Brother Ma, you can't grow vegetables like this. It not only depends on the price, but also on the yield. It also depends on the time." Ah Huang couldn't stand listening anymore, so he taught.

"And if you buy seeds now and plant them, such as coriander and Chinese cabbage, by the time you plant them, the local ones will already be available. Then you can sell them for a few cents per pound, and who wants yours? You have to take time for these vegetables.

, if you have what others don’t have, it’s more expensive.”

"By the way, if you sell coriander, you can only do it in these two months. When the weather gets cold, everyone else will plant it, and I can't afford the price," Ah Huang asked again.

What he didn't expect was that Ma Liang didn't have to think about the growth period at all.

"I know that, I just asked in passing." Ma Liang couldn't explain to him.

"Right now, Chinese cabbage is the most cost-effective. One cabbage is quite heavy, and the price can be as much as one and a half yuan." Ah Huang thought for a while and said, he could sell it for two and a half yuan.

"There are also big red peppers. I can give you two pieces."

After talking about a few scattered things, Ma Liang secretly wrote them down, and when it was almost done, he ran to the seed store.

He told Ergouzi's mother, Aunt Li, what he wanted, but it turned out that he basically didn't have it. He had to go to the city to buy some goods.

"Teacher Ma, don't fool me. When I come in, what will you do if you don't want me?" Aunt Li asked, because Ma Liang asked for more than a hundred yuan in one breath.

"Well, Aunt Li, I'll give you the money first, and I'll pick it up later."

"That's okay." Aunt Li smiled and accepted the money.

"It just so happens that someone is leaving for the city tomorrow. I'll ask someone to bring him back." Aunt Li can earn twenty or thirty yuan from this trip.

After all these things were settled, Ma Liang went directly to the small supermarket. He felt much happier and was ready to buy more things, especially for Ning Mengmeng. This girl really liked him, and he didn't have any relatives here.

.

As soon as he entered the small supermarket, Ma Liang saw a bald man sitting on a bamboo chair with a bruised nose and swollen face.

When he saw Ma Liang coming in, he was startled and shouted: "What do you want to do!"

It turns out that this man is the gangster leader in the village. The first time he molested Su Yuyao, the second time he besieged Ma Liang.

Ma Liang was also startled, but seeing that he was alone, he had no worries. After being beaten twice, he got used to it.

But looking at his condition, it was obvious that he had been beaten severely. I didn't hit him at all that day.

"I'm here to buy something." Ma Liang said.

"Are you sure?" He didn't believe it.

"I'm sure" Ma Liang nodded.

Not to mention that the bald guy was really a little afraid of Ma Liang. Even a few people couldn't beat him, let alone this time he was alone.

This shop is run by a bald man, and his wife usually looks after it, but she is not here today.

He was still very vigilant, wondering if he should touch a knife to scare this kid. But because this kid was too good at fighting, and the thing was not afraid of knives, wouldn't he be embarrassed?

Be patient, stay calm, calm.

Ma Liang looked at the shelves. Those kinds of napkins cost a few yuan per box, but they weren't much. He took five boxes in one go, which was just that much. Good guy, they cost more than twenty yuan.

"How do you sell this?" Ma Liang pointed to a carton of milk. He felt that Mengmeng needed this thing when he was growing up.

"Forty yuan a box," the bald man said in a rough voice, feeling very strange now.

"Bring me a box"

"Bring me a box of these apples too." Ma Liang thought for a while and said, as long as they are tied up, it will be enough to make up a load. He also bought some candies and snacks.

But he really couldn't make up his mind on what to buy Xia Xue.

"What else are you going to do?" the bald head asked worriedly. Could it be that he wants to smash up the store? There is really no way to stop this kid. The brothers fought together yesterday and were both seriously injured. The other party had a ruthless hand.

About playing cards.

In addition to being idle, he also covers the local casino. Yesterday, he was bullied by a few foreigners. He has been very unhappy because those foreigners were playing cards here, which affected the local business.

"What should I buy as a gift for a woman?" Ma Liang asked.

"How old are you?"

"Almost thirty"

"Why are you giving me a gift?" This bald man is familiar with this routine.

"Apologise." Seeing what he said, Ma Liang stopped worrying about the fight. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of a fight.

"Women love to be beautiful, just buy whatever you want to dress up. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets," the bald head said happily, touching his head.
