After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 4 Market Selling Vegetables
On the seventh day after returning to Qinghe Village, Shen Qiuqiufa's checked luggage finally arrived late.

The logistics company explained that there was a mistake when scanning the list, and it was accidentally sent to other provinces. Fortunately, they found the error in time and sent it back for emergency dispatch.

All in all, it was a series of twists and turns.

Then the logistics company is not responsible for delivering the goods into the village, and Shen Qiuqiu has to go to the parcel collection point in the town to pick up the goods.

I heard that Shen Qiuqiu was going to the town, and Grandma Shen also said to go.

"It just so happens that there is a fair today. Pick some bitter gourd from the vegetable field and sell it. You don't like this, and your grandfather and I can't finish eating so much. Don't waste it."

There is a vegetable field of more than one mu in front of her house, where various vegetables are grown.

Most of the vegetables eaten at home are grown by myself, which can save a lot of money for vegetables in a year.

When there are too many vegetables to eat, Grandma Shen will carry them to the market in the town and sell them for money.

The grandparent and grandson squatted in the field for more than half an hour, picking a basket of bitter gourds, and another basket of cucumbers and tomatoes.

Shen Qiuqiu rode on the family's tricycle and motorcycle, and drove Grandma Shen to the town at a leisurely pace.

Every time she goes to the market, Grandma Shen is always in a good mood.

Sitting in the carriage on the back seat of the tricycle, she said with a smile, "I'll cut a few catties of pork belly in a while, and I'll make braised pork for you tonight."

Shen Qiuqiu was riding a bicycle, and replied loudly: "Okay, let's buy two more pig's trotters, Xiaoshu loves to eat them, and when he comes back on weekends, let's eat braised pig's trotters."

Grandma Shen smiled even more happily, "Okay, Xiaohua and Xiaoshu can eat whatever they want."

The sound echoed on the empty mountain road, drifting far away.

Qinghe Village is located in a remote place, more than ten kilometers away from the town, and there is a mountain road in the middle, so it is very inconvenient to get in and out.

If you rely on walking, you have to walk for two to three hours.

The three-wheeled motorcycle at home was bought by Shen Qiuqiu after he went to college and earned money from summer jobs.

After buying it back, she took her grandfather to learn a three-wheeled motorcycle driver's license, and both grandparents and grandchildren can ride.

Shen Qiuqiu was not riding fast, and it took more than 20 minutes to reach the town.

After nine o'clock in the morning, it is the busiest time in the market.

Parked the three-wheeled motorcycle, Shen Qiuqiu carried the basket on his back, and grandma carried the basket and the small bench.

The grandparents and grandchildren went to the farmer's market together to find a place to set up a stall.

It was too late to set up a stall at this time, and the good positions were all taken away.

The grandfather and grandson searched for a long time before finding a good location with a little more traffic.

Grandma Shen spread the cleaned fertilizer bags on the ground, and spread another layer of pine needles.

Only then did I take the bitter gourd out of the basket and put it away neatly.

Cucumbers and tomatoes are also stacked neatly. The hills of fruits and vegetables, the collision of red and green, are like works of art.

Shen Qiuqiu took a few photos with her mobile phone, and said with a smile, "Grandma, I know where my obsessive-compulsive disorder came from."

Grandma Shen didn't understand, so she just smiled and said: "Okay, you don't want to take something, go quickly, I'll just stay here and watch over."

Shen Qiuqiu squatted beside Grandma Shen, waved her hands and said, "No, we'll take that when we go back later."

"Then you go to the market, today is a big market, very lively."

While talking, Grandma Shen pulled Shen Qiuqiu to stand up and pushed her out.

At this time, an older sister came to the front of the stall, and grandma couldn't care less about Shen Qiuqiu, so she gave her a glare and was busy greeting customers.

"Look at what you want to eat. They are all picked in the morning. They are fresh. They are grown in their own vegetable fields. They are sold when they are not finished. No pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used. You can find and buy what you have eaten. .”

Shen Qiuqiu shrugged helplessly, the old man was old-fashioned, she knew that grandma was worried that acquaintances would see her as a college student squatting here selling vegetables, and be laughed at.

"Okay, I'll go shopping."

She didn't mess with grandma either, and went to a crowded place after a stroll.

With the rapid development of the country and the implementation of a number of rural revitalization policies, Qianfeng Town has become better and better.

The main streets are all three-story buildings with uniform styles, traffic lights are installed at the intersections, the roads are widened, and the streets are tidy.

The farmer's market was rectified last year and divided into areas, vegetable area, fruit area, meat area, aquatic product area...

Today's market is clean and tidy, and the mess of the past is gone forever.

Walking around the town, Shen Qiuqiu couldn't help sighing: Qianfeng Town has changed so much.

On the street, Shen Qiuqiu also regained many memories of his childhood.

Rice sticks, dingding candy, scallion pancakes, twists... are all childhood memories.

She bought some of every kind of snack, and when she finally returned to the vegetable area with a bunch of things, all the vegetables in front of grandma's stall were sold out, and she was sitting there counting the money.

QR code payment is not very popular in small towns, and Grandma Shen doesn't know how to use it, and all she accepts is cash.

Tens, nickels, ones, and little piles of dimes and dimes.

Shen Qiuqiu took a closer look, and said with a smile: "The business is pretty good, it sold out so quickly, how much did it cost?"

Grandma Shen smiled all over her face, "It sold for more than 80 yuan. Our food is good. Anyone who has bought it once will find it and buy it."

While talking, she wrapped the ten-yuan bill in a handkerchief, and stuffed the handkerchief from the inner pocket of her trousers.

In the past, social security was not so good, and thieves were rampant, and they could steal money through pockets of clothes without anyone noticing.

People of the older generation are used to having a hidden pocket on the top of their trousers to hide their money so that thieves cannot steal it.

Grandma Shen has kept this habit for most of her life.

Every time Shen Qiuqiu bought her new clothes, the first thing grandma did when she got them was to sew up the hidden pockets.

Now that grandma is old and can't see through the eye of a needle, Shen Qiuqiu will imitate grandma's example and sew new clothes into hidden pockets, and then bring them back to her.

The grandparents and grandchildren cleaned up the stalls, and went to the meat section to buy pork belly and trotters together.

There are QR codes for payment hanging on the butcher stalls, before Grandma Shen took out her handkerchief, Shen Qiuqiu has already scanned the code and paid.

Grandma Shen complained again.

When she came back, she saw a seller of water tofu, and Shen Qiuqiu wanted to buy it. She remembered that her grandparents loved it.

Grandma Shen dragged her away, "The tofu in this store is not good."

Shen Qiuqiu knew that grandma didn't want her to waste money, so she said coquettishly: "I haven't eaten for a long time, let's buy less, just buy five yuan."

The granddaughter has never liked water tofu since she was a child, how can Grandma Shen not know her little thoughts.

He coaxed her: "Don't spend money recklessly, there are still a few catties of soybeans at home, and grandma will cook you bean curd later, it will definitely taste better than the ones bought outside."

In the end, Shen Qiuqiu still couldn't buy it, but her small pannier was almost full, so it was a return with a full load.

Riding a three-wheeled motorcycle to the parcel collection point in the town to pick up the luggage, the grandpa and grandson went home happily.
