Chapter 239 239. Strange

Walking into the gate is a huge open space with several cars parked.

Uncle Zhang also picked a place to stop the tractor, and the three of them walked in while eating the food they had just bought.

There are sheds one after another. In fact, there are not many people, but there are indeed a lot of goods piled up.

"There are so many dishes piled up like this, without a tarpaulin covering, and no one is looking at them. If someone walks around a dozen catties, they can't find it. This is really big enough." Uncle Zhang gnawed on the steamed buns, and said muttering.

Ning Qiu looked up at the ceiling and looked around, always felt that this place was far from what he had imagined.

"Ning Qiu, did you find something?"

From just now Ning Huimin noticed that Ning Qiu's expression was very strange. The two of them had lived together for several months, so they understood somewhat.

"Don't you think it's strange here?"

"Strange there? I think it's okay."

"You think, the purchase price here is more expensive than our market, and the selling price is also cheaper than our market. Isn't the business very good? But look here, there are not many people here, and the management is loose, so it is impossible to see that the business is good. "

"Hey, girl Qiu, after what you said, I also feel that something is wrong. The business of our farmer's market has not been as good as before, but even so, it is still more lively than here."

"Look at the ceiling again, that corner! Do you see it?" Ning Qiu pointed to the left.

Ning Huimin looked up for a long time, "Why is there such a big gap?"

"It's not just there, I saw several places along the way. Also... such a large venue doesn't even have a concrete wall, except for a ceiling, it can be said to be semi-open."

"What does this mean?"

"Except for the gates and walls, which are decent, the bazaars themselves cost little money and were built hastily."

"Yes." Ning Huimin and Uncle Zhang on the side nodded repeatedly.

"Let's ask about the price."

After walking for a long distance, I saw a man producing a pile of potatoes with a shovel in the distance.

Uncle Zhang looked at it and frowned, "If you do this, don't you shovel all the potatoes? How does this person work!"

"Uncle Zhang, do you bring cigarettes?"

"Bring it, why is the girl asking this?"

Ning Qiu said a few words to Uncle Zhang, then pointed to the man who was shoveling potatoes.Uncle Zhang nodded, changed his smiling face and walked over.

Ning Huimin looked over there and whispered in Ning Qiu's ear. "Why did you ask Uncle Zhang to do it?"

"Inquire about the wholesale prices of vegetables here."

"Oh."

Uncle Zhang took out a cigarette and handed one over.The man took it with a smile, and the two were smoking while chatting.

After more than ten minutes, Uncle Zhang came back frowning.

Ning Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how is the inquiry about the price?"

"What's going on here! The purchase price is [-] or [-] cents more expensive than our farmer's market, and some are even [-] cents more expensive. But the wholesale price here is cheaper than ours, not a little bit cheaper. I've done the math. I'm afraid Not even enough gas money for the car!"

"Uncle Zhang, keep your voice down, it's bad to be overheard! Have you ever asked who the boss here is?"

"That's not a question."

Ning Qiu looked around, "Come on, let's leave here first."

The three of them left the bazaar and drove the tractor back to the town.

"Qiu girl, what are your plans?"

"We need to find out who the owner of this bazaar is. If we ask directly in the market, it will make people suspicious, but...we don't know anyone in Shuangta County."

Uncle Zhang patted his thigh, "Isn't this not easy? Ask the village head to find out! You don't know that in order to run a farmer's market and company, the village head and several cadres in the county are very familiar. Let the village head Find a way to inquire about it, and you should be able to inquire about it."

Right now, I can only try, "That's fine, I'll talk to the village chief when I go back."

It was late at night for the three of them to return to Xiashan Village, and they spent most of the day on the road.I only ate one of the three meals, and I still ate while walking.

Back in the yard, Ning Qiu insisted on leaving Uncle Zhang behind, and cooked a bowl of fried noodles with two fried eggs.

"Uncle, you're really tired today, and you haven't had a good meal. It's too late and there's no time to do anything, so I just make do with bowls of noodles."

Uncle Zhang originally wanted to go back to eat, but when he smelled it, he couldn't move.

"Uh, huh, how good is this? It won't be tiring to drive a tractor, and besides, this is a matter of our village."

When the two girls came home, the old couple and Ning Cheng and his wife both heard the movement and left the house, and they were all sitting in the main room to accompany them.

"Qiu, you and Huimin eat quickly, you're both hungry." Zhu Ximei urged.

The three of them took a big bowl and sucked it all together, the whole hall could hear the sound of the three of them chattering.

After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, Ning Cheng who had been waiting by the side finally couldn't help but ask. "How did you inquire today?!"

"What kind of bazaar is that? I really don't know what the boss thinks!" Uncle Zhang said angrily, taking out a cigarette from his pocket.

Ning Cheng quickly handed over his cigarette, "Smoke mine."

Uncle Zhang took it with a smile, and took a deep breath. "Hey... That place looks like that from the outside, but the inside is very simple. I didn't see it until Ning girl reminded me!"

"How can it be simple?"

"Dad, you don't know!" Ning Huimin answered, "The place is ventilated on all sides, and there is only one roof. The food and vegetables are just piled there, and no one cares about it."

"Ah?" Zhang Heping was also surprised after hearing this, "Didn't it mean that the scale there is bigger than our market?"

"What's the use of it, I can't even see a person after walking in for a long time! And the wholesale price... hey!"

Ning Cheng asked anxiously, "What happened to the wholesale price?"

"Let's take potatoes for example. We collect them at eight cents, and the wholesale price is [-] cents. They are good, the purchase price is [-] cents, the wholesale price is [-] cents, and they only make [-] cents per catty. And they drive to the door to receive the goods. , I’m afraid it’s not even enough for round-trip gas money if I earn this much!”

"The price is too..." Ning Cheng was also dumbfounded.

Zhang Heping asked, "Who actually opened the one in Shuangta County?"

"We were fine at the time. Girl Qiu said that if I asked people in the market directly, I was afraid that people would become suspicious. I thought about going back and asking the village chief to inquire about it. He is familiar with the leaders of the county, so he can tell the leaders to help us inquire about it."

Seeing the sad look on his uncle's face, Ning Qiu persuaded him. "Uncle, there is no need to rush this matter. Our farmer's market is not only for wholesale, but also for retail. When there is news from the village chief, it will not be too late for us to think about countermeasures."

"Hey, all right."

The next day, Uncle Zhang told the village chief about the matter, and the village chief also felt strange after hearing this. How could there be such a business.

"Then I will go to the Toto people in the county today."

It took a lot of trouble to entrust someone, but it still didn't work out.In the end, it was Ning Qiuhua who bought a small tape recorder in the county as a gift, and asked the village chief to run again.

Sure enough, with a stepping stone, it is much easier to do things.Within a few days, the village head heard back.

"Girl Qiu, I found out!" the village chief yelled as soon as he entered the courtyard gate.
