Chapter 15 Buying and selling
Jia Yi didn't look any further, took out a big bag and put twenty kilograms of melon seeds in it.
"Grandma, I'll scoop it up for you, or why don't I borrow a scale..."
"No, I'll try..."
The old lady weighed the wooden bowl, then scooped up another bowl and smoothed it, weighed it again, and said with a frown.
"This is half a catty..."
"Grandma, you are so amazing..."
Then why are you frowning and hesitating to speak?
"Stop talking, help me scoop ten pounds into this bag."
Looking at the bag that the old lady took out, Jia Yi was speechless. He forgot to bring a bag to put in for the customer. Fortunately, most people nowadays use bags and the like to put things in. This is another lesson.
"OK…"
Jia Yi quickly started scooping out the food, and each bowl was always piled up without being smoothed.
Seeing this, the old lady smiled and said, "Little boss, you will suffer a loss if you pretend like this."
"Grandma, what I sell is absolutely genuine and I never lack anything." Jia Yi said confidently.
"Little boss, good character..."
The old lady praised.
Ten kilograms of it was quickly filled, and the old lady handed it over with a big dough stick, turned around and left.
Jia Yi was about to put away the things when suddenly the old lady turned around and said, "Little boss, I have to say, your bowl is really ugly. Please change it next time."
Are you so upright? He turned around and said something like this even after he left. It was so heartbreaking that Jia Yi felt his face was a little burning.
"Little boss, how many melon seeds do you have left? If you have more, I'll call a few people for you."
The old lady hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.
"There are still more than three hundred kilograms left..."
"Okay, little boss, wait here for a moment, I'll call someone." After saying that, he left, which was really resolute.
I saw a lock seller not far away, so I quickly bought one and used it to lock the abandoned yard. This was a good place. It would be much safer and more convenient to get things in the future.
After about ten minutes, the old lady came over with a bunch of old men and old ladies.
After working for a while, I sold 330 kilograms and received 30 unity sheets. Now I am really rich.
Wait for the old men and ladies to disperse.
"Thank you so much, grandma..."
"My surname is He...what's your name, little boss?"
"Thank you, Grandma He. My name is Jia Yi, it's easy. You can call me Xiao Yi. If you hadn't helped me today, I don't know how long I would have sold it."
"Then look at how I've helped you so much, Xiao Yi, how are you going to thank me?"
"Grandma He, wait a minute, I'll get you something, don't leave!" After Jia Yi said that, he turned around and entered the yard.
"No, I was joking." Grandma He said with a helpless smile.
Not even a minute later, Jia Yi came back and locked the door after coming out. But there were two more loofahs in the schoolbag on his chest. He came to Grandma He, quickly put the loofahs into the basket and covered it with a cloth.
"Grandma He, it's not a good thing. You can look at it later. I'm going home too. Goodbye, Grandma He."
Jia Yi trotted away, waving his hand.
Seeing this, Grandma He couldn't say anything more and watched Jia Yi disappear into the crowd.
Picking up the basket, he opened it and saw that there were actually two loofahs. This was rare in the winter. He wanted to return it, but Jia Yiren also ran away. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to go home.
In fact, Jia Yi has not left Pigeon Market. Now he has 330 yuan, which can buy a lot of good things. He simply stopped zipping his school bag. Anyway, he still has ten kilograms of melon seeds, so maybe someone will buy them.
Look at the street stall, they are selling potatoes. Buy ten kilograms. They will not be planted for the time being. They will be collected into the warehouse to make seeds.
I bought two kilograms of cabbage seeds.
"Huh...huh..."
Where did the pig squealing come from? Xun Sheng went over and saw that the stall was crowded with people, and Jia Yi couldn't squeeze in for a while.
After listening for a while, I realized that someone was selling piglets.
Soon the crowd dispersed, leaving only a middle-aged couple standing there at a loss.
There were two baskets beside them, and the piglet's cry came from the baskets.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, picked up the burden and prepared to ask his wife to leave.
"Wait a minute, how are you going to sell this little piggy..."
Jia Yi stepped forward and asked.
"Twenty yuan a piece, really not expensive."
"My piglets are all about the same size, weighing about twenty pounds each. My family can't afford to feed them anymore, so I have to pull them out and sell them," the middle-aged man explained hurriedly.
"Well, how many do you have?"
"Four, one male and three females."
"Okay, let me take a look, okay, I want all of them..."
"That's great, thank you, thank you..." The middle-aged man thanked her repeatedly, and the woman also smiled.
"But you have to send Piggy to a place not far away, right over there behind the tree."
Of course there is no problem. Maybe it was because the piglets barked for too long, and the piglets didn’t bark again until they were transported to the yard.
The money and goods were cleared, and the middle-aged man also gave a carrying pole and a pair of baskets as gifts. He took them into Taoyuan, divided the area, and separated an area with an earth wall to raise pigs. Looking at these four little black pigs, he couldn't help but
Glad, black pork is much more delicious than white pork. Although black pigs grow slowly, deliciousness is the most important thing.
Just thinking about pork makes my mouth water. No, I want to buy pork too.
I went to the meat stall and bought five kilograms of meat for ten yuan. I thought about the multi-grain wowotou and bought ten kilograms of white noodles for three yuan.
This costs 95 yuan. Counting, there are 235 yuan left. Well, come back next time.
After putting all the things in Taoyuan, it was almost six o'clock when we got home by bus. If we didn't go home, the family would have to find someone to help find them.
When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard of the courtyard, Jia Yi took out five kilograms of meat and ten kilograms of white flour, put them in a bag, carried them back and walked into the house.
"Hey, my busy man is finally willing to go home. Well, what are you carrying?" Qin Huairu said insulting her son while taking the bag.
"It's quite heavy. What's inside?" Qin Huairu picked it up, but she lost strength and almost dropped it to the ground.
Qin Huairu quickly opened the bag and saw a white bag on top. He lifted it about ten kilograms and exclaimed when he touched it: "This is ten kilograms of flour. Where did you get it?"
"Hey, and this is pork." He picked it up and saw that it was a piece of frozen, hard pork.
"Xiao Yi, tell me honestly, where did this come from?" Qin Huairu asked seriously.
Originally, the little Sophora japonica looked happy when she saw the delicious food. But when she heard her mother's words, she was too frightened to say anything. Mrs. Jia Zhang said nonchalantly.
"This is what my grandson has the ability to do."
"You have the ability, huh, but there is a problem with his origin. If he is still discovered, your grandson will be sent to a juvenile detention center." Qin Huairu scolded angrily.
"Okay, okay, mom, think about last time..." Jia Yi said helplessly.
"You mean buying and selling...then what did you do this time? Come in and tell me." Qin Huairu still didn't believe it. She took Jia Yi to the back room to whisper in detail.
"I met two mountain people yesterday. They brought more than 600 kilograms of ripe melon seeds to the city to sell. They didn't know how to sell melon seeds and were not familiar with the city. When I saw the opportunity, I immediately discussed with them and I helped them sell it.
, one yuan a pound, but I want a hundred pounds of melon seeds." Jia Yi said the excuse he thought of on the bus.
"They agreed?"
"I agreed, and then I took them to the Pigeon Market in Princess Fen today. Unexpectedly, the melon seeds were so popular that they were sold out within an hour."
"So, you made a hundred yuan today... Humph, bring me the money." Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to signal Jia Yi to be more conscious.
It happened again. Jia Yi took out all the money in his pocket and counted them one by one until he counted 8 large ones and put them in Qin Huairu's hand.
"What else..." Qin Huairu stared closely at the banknotes in Jia Yi's hand.
Jia Yi was so frightened that he quickly put away the money in his hand.
"I can't give this to you. I bought five kilograms of meat for ten yuan and ten kilograms of flour for three yuan. I gave you eighty yuan. I only have seven yuan left. I will keep the money for use." Jia Yi explained in a low voice.
With.
"Why is it so expensive..."
"No food stamps, no meat stamps."
"This is right." Qin Huairu suddenly realized.
