Chapter 10 Neighbors, Night Market

"You have some vegetables, why don't you give them to your neighbors?"

Guo Xin and Zhu Lin had put away the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing several large packages of vegetables placed beside them, they were a little confused as to why they bought so many vegetables.

When they learned that it was given by the person Li Feng saved, the two of them didn't think much about it. After all, Li Feng had told them about rescuing someone from a car accident before.

Guo Xin thought about the neighbors in the subdivided house. It would take many days for two people to eat so many vegetables, so they must be stale.

Regarding the story of saving people, Li Feng had already thought about it. From now on, he would definitely bring some vegetables over from time to time. He would definitely need to find an excuse, so he would just use the car accident as an excuse.

I casually made up a story about how I was hit because I was trying to save someone. As for why that person got into an accident, it was because that person came to Hong Kong Island for the first time and was not familiar with the traffic rules.

Li Feng racked his brains and even made up an identity. The boy who delivered vegetables in Shencheng was actually Xiaokai from the vegetable transportation company.

The guy gave him vegetables, meat, etc. as a way of repaying his kindness. At that time, this was all nonsense, but fortunately the two of them didn't ask any more questions.

"Then let's get one point."

There were a lot of vegetables, adding up to more than ten kilograms. There were three households in the subdivided house, and each family shared two kilograms, two tomatoes, two cucumbers, spinach, and a few peppers.

"Weilin, please take a share back with you."

“The food is very fresh.”

"Thank you very much."

After dividing them into four portions and leaving some for themselves for tomorrow, Guo Xin and Li Feng took the vegetables and knocked on the neighbor's door. A mother and daughter lived opposite the door.

"What's up?"

"We just moved here. We have some vegetables at home, so I'll give you some to eat."

"Thank you."

When delivering vegetables, you must know that vegetables are not cheap here in Hong Kong Island. A pack weighs more than two kilograms. Why are there twenty or thirty mosquitoes? We chatted for a while, especially with the other two houses. One of them lived with an old man who had a weird temper and didn't open the door.

However, the young couple next to me were very grateful and even gave me some small pastries as gifts.

After delivering the vegetables, Li Feng, Guo Xin, and Zhu Lin went out and walked along Lai Chi Kok Road to Yen Chow Street. "Go shopping at Apliu Street. There are more stalls there, and you may be able to buy cheap tables."

"OK."

Along Qinzhou Street, we came to Apliu Street. There were quite a lot of people here, most of them were elderly and almost everyone had backpacks. There were also a lot of people pulling carts. It was very lively coming and going.

"This is Apliu Street, so lively!" There are almost all stalls on both sides of the street, selling various small items, headphones, mobile phone cases, etc. The streets on both sides sell more large electronic products, game consoles, mobile phones, computers, etc.

"You haven't been here before. Rachel said you were here to buy a mobile phone and there was a car accident. Don't you remember?"

"Buy a mobile phone?" Li Feng really didn't know. He was using an old mobile phone, so what about the money to buy the mobile phone?

"Do I have any money?"

"Ten thousand mosquitoes." Zhu Lin got angry when she mentioned this. She borrowed this from Rachel. There were 50,000 mosquitoes in total. Ten thousand mosquitoes paid the rent, but she even gave Li Feng 10,000 mosquitoes to buy a new mobile phone.

"Qian Baocheng was cheated by the fat man. If you find this fat man, you must teach him a lesson." Li Fengxin said, this fat man should not touch him. After all, the money belongs to Guo Xin.

Apliu Street is very lively, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable dining table. It is best to use a folding table, 60 centimeters is the best. If it is too big, it will not fit. After walking all the way to Beihe Street, the sky has already darkened.

There are already many stalls set up on both sides of the street. Li Feng just observed that the hawker management staff have already gone off work. Of course, there will be patrols, but most of them will not pay too much attention. Generally, they will be patrolled once an hour or so. As long as you grasp the time, the stalls

No need to move.

Stalls on Hong Kong Island are licensed, but Sham Shui Po is different from other places. It is the poorest among the 18 districts on Hong Kong Island, and there are many elderly, poor, and mentally ill people. Many of these small stalls are run by poor elderly people.

released.

Selling some second-hand goods for a few yuan to dozens of yuan, the hawker management staff basically turn a blind eye at night. As long as no one reports it, they usually just rush away and come back later, usually pretending that they haven't seen you.

Of course, surrounding shops will often report it, after all, it will affect their business. Most illegal stalls will wait until the midnight market, that is, after 10:30, the hawker management staff basically get off work, and only the on-duty staff are left.

Moreover, some businesses on the street had basically closed down their stalls and shops at that time. At this time, no one would report them. After all, they were all poor people and they had to make a living. Occasionally, someone would report them, and the management would come and drive away these old men and mothers-in-law.

It’s just that they rarely collect the items on the stalls. After all, most of them are like fat people who help move, collecting some second-hand items that others don’t want as moving fees, or some people don’t need to give charity to the elderly. It’s useless for these item managers to come.

Even if it is collected, it is sent to the garbage disposal agency. It is usually not a big deal and the government will turn a blind eye. After all, many of them are social workers.

“So cheap.”

"This induction cooker only costs fifty mosquitoes."

"yes."

"Winter, this electric fan only costs sixty mosquitoes."

Although there was a lack of fans at home, Li Feng didn't buy one in the end. The fat man left a shadow on him. This might be a relic of the old man or his mother-in-law. He just wanted to take a look. "Let's go and have a look at the fruit stall in front."

In the center of Beihe Street is the Beihe Street Market. It is similar to a domestic vegetable market with a total of four floors. Li Feng came here during the day. It will be 6 or 7 o'clock. There are many stalls outside the market displaying discounted vegetables and fruits. Of course, they are not very fresh.

For the poor, cheapness comes first.

“So cheap.”

"Three kinds of vegetables and twenty mosquitoes."

The three items weighed almost three pounds. Each small plastic basket contained several vegetables. They were placed one by one as if there were twenty mosquito cards on top. However, the leaves of the vegetables were somewhat withered. Even though the merchant had taken care of them, they still looked like they were careless.

Very fresh.

If you look carefully, these dishes are not very fresh. Of course, the prices are really cheap, only half or even one-third of the price in the morning. However, there are many buyers and they sell quickly. After all, they are cheap. For some people living in subdivided houses,

Let’s talk.

This price is the most suitable. As for the lack of freshness and poor taste, most people won't mind.

Because there are so many, some of the dishes on the stall will be given to the tea restaurant in the afternoon, and few dishes will be left for sale in the evening.

There are not many cheap vegetables, they sell quickly, and there are relatively more fruits.

“The fruits here are quite fresh.”

Zhu Lin plans to buy some fruits, lychees, longans, etc. Some fruits are very cheap. Peach peaches are as big as a fist and cost 20 cents. Lychees only cost about 8 yuan per catty, which is 600 grams at 16 taels.

“The price is very good.”

"We'll buy some too."

Apples are not cheap, and durians are really not expensive. Five pounds costs about sixty or seventy bucks. I really want to buy a few more to take home. You can’t buy them at this price elsewhere on Hong Kong Island. Pei Ho Market is the largest market in Sham Shui Po.

The first floor is mainly seafood, the second and third floors are vegetables and fruits, and the fourth floor is some dry goods.

Li Feng, Guo Xin, and Zhu Lin didn't go in. They just walked around the streets outside and bought some fruits. Guo Xin didn't buy much. He was calculating his salary all the way. After all, 15,000 Hong Kong dollars is really not much, and transportation expenses and

The rent is basically half.

Li Feng is not working yet and needs to see a doctor from time to time. Fortunately, Zhu Lin borrowed 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. Well, this makes Li Feng a little stressed. It will be even harder to break up.

"Fat man, don't run."

When I was about to go back, I saw a familiar figure in the distance, a lame fat man. This bastard not only took off his clothes and shoes, but also took away the 10,000 yuan he spent to buy a mobile phone.

The fat man ran away as soon as he saw Li Feng and got into the alley in the blink of an eye. Damn you bastard. Li Feng looked at the empty alley. This bastard knew this place too well.

"Where are the people?"

"Lost."

Zhu Lin and Guo Xin chased after them and asked when they saw no one.

"I still don't believe it. Sooner or later I will catch this fat guy."

This bastard is no longer setting up a stall. Li Feng plans to block him again when he has time. The problem now is to solve his own food and clothing problem and spend women's money. Li Feng is somewhat unaccustomed to it, mainly because he has never spent it before.

"I will rest the day after tomorrow."

Returning to the subdivided apartment, Li Feng was in a much lower mood. It was too depressing and the place was too small. He was really not used to it. Guo Xin seemed to find that Li Feng was not in a good mood. "I heard from my colleagues that there is a food exhibition in Mong Kok with a lot of delicious food."

You can taste it for free, let’s go together.”

Free, okay, but when I think about Guo Xin's family situation, now she comes to live in such a gloomy, small subdivided room, and finds free food wherever she goes out to play.

This girl is not bad, but unfortunately, she is not that Li Feng, but Li Feng.

Alas, make money first, then look for opportunities to make some compensation, and be gentle when breaking up, so as not to hurt others.

What a wonderful girl, what a pity, Li Feng thought.

After waiting for Guo Xin to fall asleep, Li Feng lay down on the side. Fortunately, he had a reason now. He was not in good health due to the car accident and the two of them had no close contact. There was nothing he could do. He is a gentleman.

"well."

Returning to Shaqiu Village, Li Feng began to play with the light beads. It seemed that after twelve o'clock in the evening, the brightness of the light beads returned. "Try to bring other items, vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimps are all fine."

"Try something else first."

"In the best situation, you can carry a mobile phone, but it is a bit heavy to carry."

Just a mobile phone makes Li Feng feel like his head is exploding. Forget it, don't use this thing less often. The same is true for other items. Only vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meat consumption are small, and electronic products and metal products cannot be carried in large quantities.

Alas, I can't set up a stall to sell vegetables by myself, but I don't have the money to buy photos or rent a license. I can't set up a market. The price is too low. A pound of vegetables costs seven or eight yuan. Compared with the morning market

Too cheap.

"Three to four hundred kilograms of vegetables a day doesn't add up to much money. What to do with so many vegetables? Alas."

Another question is how to convert the earned Hong Kong dollars into RMB even if the food can be processed. Is it possible to buy durians and bring them back to sell? Just kidding, you may not be able to sell them. If you buy a durian for RMB 100, will anyone buy it?
