44. Dafang Hardware Store

This vegetable market by the river has a history of ten or twenty years.

Most of the time, the people and stalls selling vegetables here are relatively fixed.

Occasionally, there may be farmers carrying burdens to sell some fruits grown in the countryside, but this only depends on the season and does not last long.

But only Song Tan, a new vegetable seller, was weird, too weird.

First of all, there are not many young girls selling vegetables here.

Secondly, this young girl is beautiful and has an equally beautiful silly younger brother, who is easy to sell and attract attention.

In the end, the food was so expensive!

At first, the vegetable vendors sneered:

Don’t think that multiple silly brothers can attract customers!

This vegetable market is full of middle-aged and elderly aunts who are good at picking and calculating. They want to break every penny and spend it in half. They are beautiful and pitiful, which is attractive in other places. Here, the aunts will not spend an extra cent!

But looking at it, this silly kid's movements have gone from being slow and silly at the beginning to becoming more and more agile now, and his counting is even smoother——

Good guy!

You are here to train your brother.

Next is the price of vegetables.

Wild vegetables cost twenty yuan a pound?

The vendor sneered, thinking you were just selling something fresh!

But later, as the weather warmed up, the price of vegetables became lower and lower, and she still sold them for 20 yuan a pound?!

The vegetable seller sneered: Are you just asking for help?

Later, even the milkvetch from Feitian was sold, still costing 20 yuan per catty, and so many people were snatching it up...

The vegetable vendors were all numb.

How should I put it? Is it possible that he has been selling vegetables for ten or twenty years and has not grasped the trend of this vegetable market?

I have been holding back this for a long time, and finally asked the question today.

Unexpectedly, the aunt who was asked was also full of melancholy: "Who says it's not? This dish is so expensive, and I feel like a knife when I spend money every day."

Then you still buy so many?!

The vegetable seller stared at the handfuls of fresh and clear milkvetch in the other's basket, looking puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Auntie's attitude suddenly became high-spirited again:

"You don't understand. Eating more vegetables is good for your health. Our family eats a few more kilograms of these vegetables every day. It helps us go to the toilet smoothly, our health is good, and we sleep soundly at night... The acne on my daughter's face has gone away a lot!"

It’s money well spent.”

"Not to mention this dish, it's so delicious. Cold, stir-fried and hot pot, there's nothing bad about it! I'm scratching my head if I can't finish it."

Onlookers:......

Just... what kind of food are you buying here? Is it melatonin, Jingxin oral liquid, or intestinal moisturizer melatonin?

Otherwise, do I need to add poppy?

This sounds too exaggerated.

Unexpectedly, when the aunt saw that they didn't believe it, she became stubborn: "You guys, don't believe it either! How can we not know whether this food is good to eat or not after we have been shopping for vegetables for decades?"

"Look at this girl selling vegetables. How often does she not rely on robbery, and everyone is not a fool? If you really don't believe it, you will know how good it is after spending twenty yuan on it."

The aunt rushed away with a basket of vegetables. She saw the tomatoes being sold by two vendors across the street, so she took a step forward:

"How did you sell this?"

The vegetable seller hesitated for a moment: "Eight yuan."

The aunt's brows immediately rose: "Okay! I have been shopping here for decades, and you still dare to cheat me. The tomatoes I bought yesterday were obviously four yuan!"

After saying that, he stood up directly, turned around and left.

Not far away, a vendor came over cautiously: "Brother, why did you increase the price?"

The vendor was about to burst into tears: "Don't I think she has to pay a hundred yuan to buy other people's wild vegetables every day..."

I thought he was a wealthy and wealthy owner, so he liked this expensive one!

Concentrating on their own grievances, they turned around and found that the pretty girl and her silly brother were already preparing to close the stall.

The vegetable vendor next door walked quickly:

"Well, do you have any more food? Give me a pound too!"

Song Tan was stunned for a moment, then ordered his younger brother: "Qiao Qiao, go to the car and get a bundle."

While smiling, he said: "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you at the vegetable stall next to you these days - all the vegetables are sold out today, but I'm going to give some to my relatives, so I'll just take out a pound."

The vegetable seller's face looked better now. He waved his hands and smiled: "The market is not mine, and what we sell is different. So what's the impact? I have to charge for this dish, but I don't charge.

I do not want……"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao puffed up his chest and displayed all the QR codes on his sweatshirt.

Vegetable vendor:......

He looked at the smiling little girl again, had no choice but to scan the QR code to pay, and turned away in frustration while holding the dishes.

Song Tan took out five yuan and said, "Hey, go buy your Peppa Pig stickers!"



Qiao Qiao had stickers stuck on her cheeks and clothes. She happily followed Song Tan carrying a basket, watching what was new all the way:

"Sister, their building is so tall!"

"What is this for sale?"

"There are flowers!"

"Where is uncle?"

Song Tan looked at his carefree expression and said with a soft expression: "It's coming soon. Did you see that store with a blue sign in front of you? Can Qiao Qiao read it?"

Qiaoqiao looked along her hand and began to count her fingers with difficulty: "Big, big... um, five, gold... um..."

He turned his head and looked at Song Tan with clear eyes: "I've finished reading."

Song Tan sighed - in this state, Qiao Qiao can understand, count, recognize money, and occasionally tell the time. She is obedient, sensible, and easy to coax, and she never cries randomly.

But to put it in a systematic way, he is really like a kindergarten child. He cannot recognize all the words, travel is a problem, and there is no way for him to go to school alone in the city...

I have to think of other ways later.

But the thought turned around in her mind, and a smile appeared on her face: "Qiaoqiao is so awesome! That's Dafang Hardware Store! Our uncle's name is Song Dafang, remember?"

Uncle Song took his wife to work on a construction site in the city 20 years ago. Later, he met some people and saved some money. He bought a shop in the construction market and relied on this shop to provide himself with an old family.

Xiao saved a substantial fortune.

This work lasted twenty years.

Although the market has not been very good in the past two years, his children have grown up and there is not so much pressure, so life is more comfortable than in previous years.

Song Tan thought about the past and vaguely remembered that her eldest aunt loved gold. When she returned to her hometown in the early years, she had gold jewelry everywhere exposed on her body.

Because of this, everyone in the village said that the uncle had become rich, until one day the aunt took everyone to a jewelry shop.

"Bring me a few fifty-cent coins and give me some wages, and you can make a bracelet! It's like gold, bright yellow, and strong!"

Song Tan didn't know until he grew up - destroying the RMB is breaking the law...

But at this moment, these past events flashed through her memory like a revolving door, which reminded her of her previous feelings.

Qiao Qiao nodded obediently: "Remember, uncle's name is the hardware store!"

Song Tan: Poof!

"Just call me uncle, don't call me nonsense."
