At this moment, things were not going well on the other side where Li Ruiyan was. The part-time job they had to undertake was to help people in the market sell vegetables.
"Is this spinach?"
"I feel like green vegetables."
"It should be rapeseed, right."
The first problem the three young men selling vegetables encountered was not how to sell the vegetables, but facing a large number of green leafy vegetables and not being able to identify which ones.
"I'll tell you again and you remember clearly, this is lettuce, this is celery, this is cabbage, and this is chicken greens. When the customers come over later, you have to explain to them what these things are."
The boss felt a little headache when the three people couldn't even distinguish the dishes, but he still kindly told them the names of the dishes one by one.
"The green lettuce is the largest and heaviest one, the cabbage is the largest and the heaviest, the small and messy lettuce is, and the tastiest one is celery..."
At this moment, Li Ruiyan has already made up a rhyme based on what his boss taught him, and is memorizing it like crazy.
The other two children were no exception, and they all memorized everything according to Li Ruiyan's rhymes.
But before they could memorize it, a customer came to the stall.
"Kid, I want some winter melon. Do you have any here?"
He came and said to Xiao Wang, the youngest of the three.
"Xiaoyan didn't teach me to be like this."
The ignorant Xiao Wang was completely confused when faced with this kind of problem that went beyond the outline.
"Winter melon is the big and heavy one."
The grocery shopper saw that Xiao Wang was in a dilemma, so he also gave some tips.
"Big and heavy!"
Xiao Wang suddenly thought that Li Ruiyan's jingle contained this sentence, so he said.
"Yes, how much do you want to buy?"
"Give me half. I can't eat more than that."
The grocery shopper saw Xiao Wang react and expressed his request.
"Xiaoyan, he wants to buy half a cabbage."
After a while, Xiao Wang walked on his short legs to Li Ruiyan, who was soliciting customers on the other side, and asked him to handle the transactions that had been completed here.
"Chinese cabbage, right? There's exactly half a cabbage here. You can just take it over."
Because Li Ruiyan was soliciting customers, he didn't think much about it and handed half of a vegetable that looked like a cabbage to Xiao Wang.
When the dish finally came to the customer's hands, the customer was confused.
"Who am I? Where am I? What I want is obviously winter melon, why did you give me half a baby cabbage?"
Holding the half piece of baby cabbage handed over by Xiao Wang, the customer was already wondering if he had not expressed himself clearly.
"What I want is baby cabbage, ah no, winter melon. How did you get me baby cabbage!"
The customer said to Xiao Wang. He was so shocked by the magical operation that he was a little embarrassed to speak.
Xiao Wang had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that he took a few steps back and then went to find Li Ruiyan.
"Xiaoyan, the customer over there said that the food he bought was wrong. He wanted baby vegetables."
Xiao Wang, who only remembered half of the sentence, perfectly reproduced it for Li Ruiyan, although the meaning had completely changed at this point.
"Didn't you say you want cabbage?"
Li Ruiyan was also a little confused, but he still went to check out the situation.
"Hello, do you want cabbage?"
When he came here, Li Ruiyan also saw this customer. In line with the concept of customer first, Li Ruiyan also asked the other party's questions.
"No, I want baby cabbage!"
The customer was almost tortured by this back and forth, and because he was holding baby cabbage in his hand, he actually said that what he wanted was baby cabbage.
"Then what you are holding is baby cabbage, isn't it? So what else do you want to change?"
Li Ruiyan was a little curious.
Of course, this did not mean that he recognized that what the other person was holding was cabbage. He always thought that what the other person was holding was cabbage, but because it was smaller, he also called it baby cabbage.
Yes, according to Li Ruiyan's logic, baby cabbage is a relatively small cabbage.
"Well, it's eight cents per catty. Let me see, it's exactly half a catty. If you multiply 0.8 by 0.5, it's four cents in total. Thank you for your patronage."
After Li Ruiyan finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other party's reaction. He directly weighed the bag and handed it to the other party.
The customer was so confused that he paid four cents and took away half a baby cabbage.
"Xiaoyan, you made a mistake in your calculation! It should be forty yuan!"
Not long after the customer left, Xiaolong also heard Li Ruiyan's wonderful calculation. After checking the calculation, Xiaolong was very convinced that Li Ruiyan had made a mistake.
"No way, how is it possible? How can a dish cost forty yuan!"
Li Ruiyan immediately said that this was impossible. Although he was usually industrious, he did not distinguish between grains, and had never even bought vegetables. But buying half a baby cabbage for 40 yuan was impossible in all aspects.
of.
"Look, your eighty cents per catty is exactly half a catty, that is, 0.8 times 0.5, five or eighty forty, it should be forty yuan. You clearly made a mistake in your calculation!"
Xiaolong's analysis is clear and logical.
"Nonsense, how can 0.8 times 0.5 be 40? Have you forgotten the decimal point? It should be 0.04, which is four cents!"
Li Ruiyan also retorted with reason.
The battle between the two in mathematics made the photographer who was filming next to him almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, he couldn't remind the two children, so he could only hold back his laughter while filming.
"You two, stop arguing, another customer is here."
Just when the two were entangled, Xiao Wang, who was concentrating on selling vegetables, came over to break up the fight.
Considering that they still had a lot of debts, the two temporarily put aside their disputes and started to concentrate on working.
It's just that neither of them gave up their own thoughts, thinking that they were right and the other party was wrong.
After the half-day vegetable selling experience was over, the vegetable stall owner also appeared in time to settle the wages of the three of them based on their performance today.
"The three of you originally said that each of you would receive one hundred yuan, but because you made a miscalculation and got the wrong food, you lost a lot of money, so part of your salary will also be deducted. Did you hear that?"
The vegetable stall owner held a small book and said to the three people.
"They used the winter melon as baby cabbage and miscalculated the accounts, resulting in a loss of 36 cents. They sold the bean sprouts as chicken greens and the garlic moss as celery..."
The boss directly listed all the mistakes the three of them had made in a short period of time.
"So after deducting the losses you caused, your salary totals minus 50 yuan."
After the boss closed the book, he issued the final judgment.
Although Li Ruiyan was not very good at mathematics, he still knew about negative numbers. When he heard that instead of making money, he actually lost money, he couldn't help but feel sad and almost burst into tears.
"That means we still have to give you money, right?"
Li Ruiyan's mentality completely collapsed. He now wanted to ask the program team why they were grouped in this way. If he and Shen Jie were grouped together, wouldn't it be a random killing?
As everyone knows, Shen Jie is suffering from bees at this time. Although he has sold a few bottles of honey, the bees flying around him almost make him collapse. What he is thinking at this time is, why don't he
He was assigned to his group so that he could be a tool with peace of mind and let Li Ruiyan deal with these pesky bees by himself.
