Chapter 7 Poison Oranges

Wang Tiezhu was furious, "Who dares to bully you? I will help you beat him tomorrow."

The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Tiezhu loaded the oranges onto the tractor and headed to the county seat.

Also going with him was Zhong Ting.

An hour and a half later, we arrived at Qingyang County.

Because tractors were prohibited from entering urban areas, he could only drive the tractor to the outskirts of the county and stopped across the road.

And across the road, there is a vegetable market, so you don't have to worry about the number of customers.

Here, there are already some tractors or three-wheel trucks parked here, selling fruits such as apples and watermelons.

"Hey...the orange seller, these oranges are not bad, they are so big and the color is really nice."

When they saw the baskets of oranges in Wang Tiezhu's cart, many people gathered around them.

After all, it was not yet time for oranges to go on sale, so Wang Tiezhu actually brought a cart of oranges, and each of these oranges was bigger than an adult's fist. It is rare to see oranges of such good quality.

"Hey, why are these oranges so big? How can they be sold if they are so beautiful?"

An aunt picked up an orange, weighed it in her hand, and asked.

"Five dollars a pound!"

Wang Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Five yuan a pound? Why don't you go and grab it?"

After Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, the old man selling apples next door couldn't help but said, "I also have an orange tree at home. When the oranges come down, they cost ten yuan and five pounds. Your one pound can buy two pounds of ours."

"Young man, your oranges are too expensive."

The aunt put down the orange in her hand and said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not just expensive, it's extremely expensive."

The old man selling apples said angrily, "We also have oranges at home."

Zishu, now is not the time for oranges to be ripe at all. It will still take a few months to get there, but his oranges are ripe now and they are still growing so big. Could it be that some pesticides were used to accelerate the ripening?"

Looking at the oranges in Wang Tiezhu's tractor bucket, the old man felt jealous. If his oranges could mature now, they would definitely be sold at a good price.

"It's really possible. People nowadays will do anything to make money."

"Hey, the young man looked at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't expect him to be so evil-hearted."

"If you eat these oranges, you may get sick."

"Don't say that, maybe it was grown in a greenhouse."

"The ones grown in greenhouses are usually supplied directly to fruit dealers and fruit shops. How can you sell them yourself? Even if you buy oranges in a fruit shop, the price is only three or four yuan per catty at most. He pays five yuan.

It’s a pound of money, it’s so evil.”

A group of people surrounded Wang Tiezhu and pointed.

And while everyone was talking about it, two men in wet market management uniforms staggered over.

"What's going on? What are you making a fuss about?"

Squeezing in from the crowd, a tall and thin man with a bunch of yellow hair on his head asked impatiently with a hoarse voice.

In the past two days, he had been very uncomfortable. He always felt like a mouthful of thick phlegm was stuck in his throat. He couldn't cough it out no matter how hard he coughed. He also drank syrup to relieve cough and reduce phlegm, but it had no effect.

Because of this problem, he snored loudly at night and had extremely bad breath. His wife kicked him out of bed and threw him to the living room to sleep. Because of this, he felt very irritable.

"Hey...it's Mr. Liu."

Seeing Liu Guang, the big man selling apples quickly packed a few kilograms of apples, handed them over diligently, and then told the story about Wang Tiezhu selling oranges.

"Boy

, this is my first time selling fruit here.”

Liu Guang glanced sideways at Wang Tiezhu and said coldly, "Pay the management fee, one hundred yuan!"

"management fee?"

Wang Tiezhu frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm here, across the road. Your vegetable market manager can't control this place, right?"

"Can't we control it? Boy, let me tell you, this area is all under our control. You people are selling fruits here and have made this area a mess. Don't you need our vegetable market staff to clean it up?"

Liu Guang said coldly, "If you don't pay the management fee, do you believe I can get the urban management to come over with just a phone call?"

"Young man, just hand it over."

At this time, another woman selling watermelon approached Wang Tiezhu and whispered, "This is the first time we came here to sell watermelon, and we paid for it. After paying the money, they won't cause trouble."

Wang Tiezhu frowned. He would come here to sell oranges in the future. For the sake of the future, he might as well hand it over.

However, he had no money at all.

"Um... I don't have any money. How about you take a few kilograms of oranges?"

Wang Tiezhu said seriously, "For five yuan a pound, I will weigh twenty pounds of oranges for you."

"Five yuan a pound? Why the hell don't you go and grab it?"

Liu Guang was furious. Thinking of what the old man selling apples had just said, he picked up an orange and peeled it open. He said, "I suspect there is something wrong with your oranges. Let me try one first."

When the orange entered, Liu Guang suddenly opened his eyes wide with an incredible look in his eyes.

"Ahem..."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Guang coughed and spit out a ball of green stuff from his mouth, which also had a foul smell.

"This orange is poisonous!"

Seeing this scene, the big man selling apples shouted, with joy in his voice.
