In a vegetable market in a big city in the south, vegetable rice Liu Baliang was guarding his vegetable stall in boredom. It was already time to get off work. In the past, the vegetable market would have been crowded with people.
The vegetable stall here is also very busy.
Liu Baliang has been selling vegetables at a stall here for more than ten years. Liu Baliang's business has always been very stable and has never been greatly affected.
Food is the most important thing for the people. Even if vegetables once became more expensive than meat, you still need to eat and buy what you should eat.
Liu Baliang supported his family by selling vegetables. He built a house at home and sent his children to college. He even originally planned to buy a house in the city.
Liu Ba Liang, Liu Ba Liang, his scale has always been only eight liang, so he got the title of Liu Ba Liang.
It's just that times are changing very fast. The business that was once very stable is becoming more and more stagnant now. Business used to be very hot in the morning, and the vegetables were expensive but easy to sell. Even at noon and evening, there was still good food.
Business.
But now, even in the morning, business has become very poor. There are fewer and fewer people in the vegetable market. At noon and evening, not many people enter the vegetable market at all.
"Where did everyone die?"
Liu Baliang looked at the pile of leftover dishes and couldn't help but cursed.
A lot of vegetables are left over every day. Not only is he unable to make money, but he also loses money every day. Moreover, he takes much less goods than before, but even so, there is still a lot of vegetables left over every day.
.
The vegetable market is really deserted.
At this moment, Liu Baliang saw his old customer Sister Li walking in, and he immediately became energetic and said enthusiastically: "Sister Li, let's buy groceries~"
"Yes, buy some onions and peppers."
Sister Li smiled and nodded, casually grabbing some green onions and peppers. She was a housewife and spent her time every day taking her children to school, buying vegetables and cooking.
In the past, I basically came to the vegetable market to buy food, but now Sister Li basically doesn't buy food in the vegetable market. She only comes to the vegetable market to buy something when something is missing.
"Sister Li, you haven't come to the vegetable market to buy groceries recently. Do you buy groceries online?"
Liu Baliang enthusiastically packed onions and peppers for Sister Li and asked tentatively.
"No, I basically don't buy vegetables now. I have planted several acres of vegetable fields in my hometown. I have all kinds of vegetables. I also raise some chickens in my hometown.
Ducks, geese and so on.”
"Every afternoon, when my children are out of school, I will take them back to my hometown to pick some vegetables I grew myself."
"There are many varieties, no pesticides, they are fresh, and they can also cultivate children's own labor ability. There is so much food to eat, and they give away a lot of it, so there is no need to buy it now."
It’s ready.”
Sister Li said with a smile.
"You still grow your own vegetables?"
Liu Baliang heard this and said quickly.
"Yes, isn't it popular nowadays to grow your own vegetables?"
"I also learned from people on the Internet. Growing vegetables is actually quite simple. In my own vegetable plot, I have planted dozens of vegetables, and I can't finish them all when they grow."
"This vegetable is more delicious if you grow it yourself. It's fresh and safe. The key is that you save money. This vegetable can easily cost a few yuan per pound. It's much cheaper to grow it yourself. Spend some money on seeds.
The vegetables grown are plentiful and good. My children didn’t like eating vegetables before.”
"Now I like to eat vegetables grown by myself."
When we talked about growing vegetables, Sister Li also started talking non-stop.
The most popular thing now is growing vegetables. Douyin anchors, video bloggers and the like are all vying to get these things. For housewives like Sister Li who have nothing to do, growing vegetables and raising them
Flowers are still very good. They can not only exercise, but also provide your family with more secure, healthy and green fresh vegetables.
"So that's it~"
After listening to Sister Li's words, Liu Baliang immediately understood why there are fewer and fewer people buying vegetables now, because now anyone with an aircraft will go back to his hometown to clear out the abandoned vegetable fields.
Plant it.
In fact, a family cannot eat many vegetables at all. A small vegetable plot is enough to grow enough vegetables for the whole family.
Even if you don't grow your own vegetables, as long as there are elderly people in the family, the elderly people in the family will never be able to finish the vegetables they grew before, and often have to throw them away.
But things are different now. Everyone has aircraft and can go home every day. The vegetables grown by this old man will no longer be wasted. When you go home, you can bring back enough vegetables for several days.
Moreover, in rural areas, some chickens, ducks and geese are basically raised. They are all native chickens and ducks. In the past, they could only be sold to those dealers, but now they can be kept for their own children and grandchildren. This has also led to the decline of chickens and ducks.
The sales of these have deteriorated a lot, a lot.
The exchanges between people and rural areas have become closer and more frequent. Even if you don’t raise native chickens or ducks at home, if you want to eat them, you can buy them from your neighbors instead of going to the vegetable market.
Buy these feeds for chickens and ducks.
"No wonder it can't be sold, no wonder there's no one left."
Liu Baliang looked at his stall and immediately realized that he might not be able to continue running his vegetable stall. People are constantly returning to the countryside, and people pay more attention to fresh, healthy, ecological and green food.
It is pollution-free and I prefer to eat fresh vegetables grown by myself.
What's more, this saves money. Apart from buying some seeds, growing vegetables by yourself doesn't cost much at all. But when it comes to buying vegetables to eat, even though the vegetables only cost a few yuan a pound, in total, one person per family can eat them.
The monthly food expenses are at least two to three thousand.
.....
In a small town in the countryside, with the beginning of a new day, the town's market begins again.
Many elderly grandfathers and grandmothers loaded baskets of fresh vegetables onto their tricycles or electric cars. Those who had chickens, ducks and geese at home also grabbed some and drove their tricycles or electric cars to the small farm.
At the town market, I found a spot and started setting up a stall.
After seven o'clock, the number of people in the market gradually increased, and there were many more people than before.
In the past, apart from the market being crowded during festivals and festivals, in normal times, only the elderly and children were left in rural towns.
Young people all go out to work to make money, and they only come back during the New Year or special festivals.
But things are different now. As more and more people own aircraft, a large number of people are beginning to return to the countryside. In the past, every household was closed.
Nowadays, as long as there are families with aircraft, young people will choose to live in their hometowns. The houses at home are comfortable and spacious, and they can save money on rent. The air in the countryside is good and quiet, and it is more comfortable than in the city.
Much more.
The return of a large number of rural people has also made rural markets more lively. There are more and more young people in the markets. At the same time, a large number of housewives from the city are flying aircraft to the countryside to buy vegetables, local chickens and soil.
Duck or something like that.
This also makes the vegetables and local chickens and ducks of grandpas and grandmas more sellable.
Mei Ling is a housewife in the city. She and her husband are city dwellers, at least for three generations, so they have no relatives in rural areas.
In the past, she mainly bought vegetables at the vegetable market in the city. This time, Deng Yun, a housewife from her same neighborhood, took her to the rural market in an aircraft.
"Let me tell you, now I always go to rural markets to buy vegetables. The vegetables in these rural markets are all picked fresh on the same day. Look at these vegetables, each one is very fresh, and they are also very fresh.
It’s very tender, much better than the food in the city’s wet markets.”
"The chickens, ducks, and geese sold here are all native chickens and ducks raised by grandpas and grandmas. They are nutritious to eat and have no hormones or anything, so they are good for children's health."
"The key is that it's very cheap to buy vegetables in the countryside. You can buy a lot of pumpkins, winter melons, gourds, etc. for just a few yuan. It's even cheaper. In the city, you can buy them by the kilogram. Here you can buy them in two.
You can buy one for three yuan."
Deng Yun took Mei Ling to visit the rural market, and while shopping, he talked about his experience.
Mei Ling looked at it carefully. Although the rural market looked a bit messy, these vegetables were really fresh. They had just been picked in the morning, and they were also very tender.
The vegetables sold in wet markets in the city are often not fresh and are relatively old.
"Uncle, how do you sell this water spinach?"
Mei Ling soon saw the water spinach she liked to eat, and asked the vegetable seller.
"Two dollars a handful~"
The uncle said with gestures.
"Come on~"
Mei Ling picked up a handful casually and weighed it carefully. She estimated it weighed two kilograms. Then she looked at the water spinach. The leaves were green and very fresh.
"Do you want this native chicken? I'll sell it to you for 10 yuan a pound. I grew it by feeding myself rice bran and eating worms."
"There are also eggplants, cucumbers, loofahs, cabbages, etc., which are all very cheap. I'll give you a few eggplants for 2 yuan, and three cucumbers for 2 yuan."
The uncle also immediately started promoting other things of his own.
"Okay, I want 2 eggplants, 2 cucumbers, 1 loofah, 1 cabbage, and a handful of leeks. How much do these cost?"
Mei Ling took a look and saw that it was really cheap, and then she took out what she needed and asked.
"You can get it for five yuan~"
The uncle thought for a while and said.
"Okay~"
Mei Ling also paid readily. It was only a few yuan. She had bought all the vegetables that her family would eat today. In this rural market, these vegetables were really cheap.
Look at these native chickens and ducks again. Although they don’t look too big, their feathers are relatively bright and bright. Obviously, this is because the native chickens, ducks and the like eat
There are more bugs and earthworms. Unlike those raised on feed, they are kept in a cage. They are large and heavy, but the color of their feathers is very ordinary and they look listless.
“It’s cheap~”
Seeing that Mei Ling had bought it quickly, Deng Yun immediately came over and said with a smile.
“It’s really cheap~”
"Haha, you will definitely like to visit rural markets in the future. Vegetables are sold in the countryside. They are fresh and cheap. I will go there every day from now on."
