Chapter 20 20. An Old Classmate in the Vegetable Market
Chapter 20 20. Old classmates from the wet market
People all have a herd mentality.
When a group of senior market pickers compete to buy from a small stall, more and more people will gather around them.
Song Tan only felt that the QR code for payment kept ringing, and she kept loading dishes in her hands.
This one needs wild onions, that one needs shepherd’s purse, and another one needs malan head...
Fortunately, she is a cultivator with sharp eyes and quick hands. Otherwise, she would have encountered this situation the first time she sold vegetables, and she would have been fished in troubled waters.
Qiaoqiao happily pulled the plastic bag next to her, shook it, shook it open and handed it to her sister. She was having a great time.
He doesn’t understand the quality of business, but it’s really fun to open the bags!
"Qiaoqiao, just shout and we'll tell you that the shepherd's purse is sold out."
"oh."
He put down the bag obediently, stood up straight, put his hands to his mouth: "Shepherd's purse - sold out!"
After shouting like this, those who didn't get one became more and more frustrated: "Why is it gone? I'm waiting to make dumplings!"
Don’t give up and go to the front of the queue - if there is no fish, shrimp will do!
When the customers further away heard this - what? Is there anyone selling shepherd's purse now? Where is it sold? Is it sold out?
Oh, that shepherd's purse must be good! I have to go and check it out, identify the stall, and get there early tomorrow!
So as the sun rose, there were more and more people in front of the stall. Qiao Qiao said in frustration:
"Sister, there is no bag."
Why do customers care about bags or not nowadays?
"It's okay! I have a bag, quickly give me that bundle - the bundle next to me! I'll scan the code for you!"
"I've got some change - here, two bundles, forty dollars."
Qiaoqiao happily took it and said loudly: "I accept it!"
Ouch, this great boy is so silly, he looks so lovable, and the aunties' movements are becoming more and more gentle.
At this time, Qiao Qiao said again: "Wild onions - they are also sold out!"
Next is Malantou.
purslane……
When there were only three handfuls of watercress left, the stall in front of me finally became quiet.
Song Tan also breathed a sigh of relief. Now he looked at Qiao Qiao, only to see him staring at the child blowing bubbles in front of him, and looking at Song Tan expectantly.
Song Tan smiled: "Good Qiaoqiao, you helped me a lot today! Come and see, how much did you earn?"
Qiao Qiao quickly took out all the money in her pocket. The total amount of bits and pieces amounted to more than 800 yuan. There were still many people in the vegetable market with cash.
"Not bad!"
Song Tan generously gave him twenty: "Take it, you can't go far. You can buy whatever you like around here." With Ling Qi helping to look after it, he felt more at ease.
Otherwise, it would be really dangerous for a silly kid like him to wander outside.
Qiao Qiao received a large amount of money, and her heart was beating fast.
He usually helps the family run errands, but this is the first time he has been given so much money just to buy snacks!
In fact, he is not very good at addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. There are no children of the same age in the village and he lacks social interaction.
But since Song Tan brought him out, he wanted to train him intentionally. Now he only has twenty yuan, so he can spend it as he pleases. In his hometown, the village canteen has very few snacks, let alone toys.
"But if you don't have enough money, it won't work, and you won't be allowed to go far."
There are vegetable sellers by the river in the morning and people enjoying the shade in the evening. Naturally, there are also people selling things for children.
Qiao Qiao's eyes looked at the colorful windmills, the bubble machine, and the spicy sticks the children were eating...
He couldn't move for a moment.
…
Song Tan looked at the payment on his mobile phone - 76 bundles of vegetables, with three bundles of watercress left.
860 in cash, 600 in mobile payment.
It seems that I didn’t get fished in troubled waters today, I’m satisfied!
Look at the previous QR code group again - unfortunately, the aunts are good at picking food, but they seem unfamiliar and resistant when scanning the code to join the group. Now there are only 15 people in the group.
However, this is also a good start!
Song Tan set up the group and made an announcement:
"Thank you all for supporting the wild vegetables this morning. If they are not delicious, we guarantee a refund! Please rest assured. In addition, we will notify the group in advance before each vegetable sale. I hope you will not miss it..."
Before it was released, I heard an incredible voice next to me: "Song Tan?"
Song Tan raised his head and saw a young woman holding a man's arm, looking at her in surprise.
Song Tan thought for a long time before pulling this person out of his memory: "Wu Qianqian?"
Her high school classmate.
"Yes!" Wu Qianqian looked at her outfit - an old down jacket, sneakers, long hair simply tied with a black rubber band, and a plain face.
Although the skin is delicate and flawless, the facial features become more comfortable and more beautiful...
But, what's the use?
Look, in front of her was a large basket that was empty except for some vegetable leaves, soil, and three bundles of unknown vegetables.
They are clearly leftovers from selling vegetables!
Wu Qianqian's eyes showed deep disbelief and sympathy: "I heard that you work in Ning Province? Why are you selling vegetables in the vegetable market now?"
Song Tan was delicate, beautiful and gentle at first, and many boys in the class were kind to her.
At that time, Wu Qianqian had a little pepper temper, scolding everyone, and looked down upon Song Tan.
Later, she took the college entrance examination and met her current boyfriend in school, the man next to her.
Now that the person came to visit her home, Wu Qianqian also wanted to show off, so she took the person to visit the vegetable market.
I didn't expect such a "surprise" to meet an old classmate.
Song Tan smiled slightly: "Yes, I am under too much pressure in Ning Province. I might as well go back to my hometown to be with my parents. Do you want to buy wild vegetables? The watercress I just picked yesterday is very delicious when mixed with it."
What she said so openly made Wu Qianqian stuck. But her boyfriend next to her took a serious look at the vegetables in the basket: "This is a wild vegetable? How do you want to eat it? Is it delicious?"
Before Song Tan could answer, Qiao Qiao happily came back with a colorful windmill. When she saw someone wanted to buy food, she became even more excited: "It's delicious! It's so delicious! Qiao Qiao wants to eat three big bowls by herself!"
Anyway, no matter what it is, it has the same delicious concept as shepherd's purse dumplings here.
His eyes were innocent and he smiled like a child. The pity on Wu Qianqian's face was even more obvious: "Oh, yes, you said when we were in school that you have a younger brother who is not very smart -"
Before she finished speaking, her boyfriend beside her coughed. Wu Qianqian quickly stopped and smiled sheepishly.
Then he carefully picked up the straw rope tied to the watercress with his fingers, picked it up and looked at it:
"It's not easy for you either. I heard that rural areas often favor boys over girls...ah, I mean, I want all this food."
Song Tan didn't care.
People with a condescending and pity mentality can be found everywhere, and they may just be looking for a sense of superiority and may not necessarily have bad intentions.
Coupled with the fact that he has been practicing for a hundred years, it doesn't matter anymore.
So now she treats Wu Qianqian’s boyfriend as a customer:
"There's no need to buy three bundles. Watercress is a wild vegetable after all. If you haven't eaten it, you may not be able to cook it well."
"If you want to try something new, just buy a bundle. Go home and fry some pepper oil, use chili soy sauce, salt and vinegar, blanch it in water and mix it..."
The boyfriend next to Wu Qianqian listened seriously, even a little greedy:
"Okay, then we want to try a bundle - how much does it cost?"

The setting is very interesting and worth watching! Of course, if you watch it, the monthly ticket must be mine...
