Chapter 121 Rotten Banana Feng

"Cheryl asked me to go shopping in the department store." Cen Peipei looked at Xian Yaowen with hopeful eyes.

"I'll have Longque pick you up at the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier at ten o'clock."

"Ah."

Cen Peipei nodded happily, turned back and continued to accent with Cheryl.

It is also difficult for the two of them. It is not easy for two people with strong accents to speak English on the same channel.

After the two women finished eating, Xian Yaowen went home first.

When I got downstairs at home, I saw Peng Zhichang, the owner of the fruit shop, carrying a bamboo basket into the shop. There was also a car parked outside the shop with a lot of bamboo baskets in the truck compartment.

Seeing that some fresh fruit had arrived, Xian Yaowen went to take a look at the bamboo basket in the car. When he saw it was plums, he stood aside and prepared to wait for the fruit bar to finish buying some.

Guo Lanchang put down a basket and walked out of the store. He saw Xian Yaowen at a glance. He wiped his face with the towel hanging around his neck and walked up to Xian Yaowen with a smile. "Mr. Charterer, Taiwan Hsinchu Flowers just arrived." Snail plum, how many pounds can I help you weigh?"

"Is it sweet?"

"It has been roasting on the boat for a few days. It is sweet and soft." Guo Lanchang said, picking a few plums from the bamboo basket near the car door and handing them to Xian Yaowen, "Mr. Bao, please try them."

Xian Yaowen took one from Guo Lanchang, wiped it with the palm of his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, tasted it carefully, and then gave a thumbs up, "It's so sweet. Boss Peng will weigh a basket for me when you're done." ."

"Okay, landlord, please wait, I will finish moving soon." Guo Lanchang said, and returned excitedly to continue moving the bamboo baskets.

Xian Yaowen stood there silently watching Guo Lanchang move bamboo baskets into the store again and again. After a while, Guo Lanchang had moved more than ten baskets. He couldn't help but sigh, "Guo Lanchang is very brave. , Dare to sell so many goods, can you sell them?"

He had already tasted it just now. The plums were picked before they were ripe. They had been roasted for a few days before they were fully ripe. With the weather like this, a lot of them would be spoiled by tomorrow night. They would all be spoiled in less than three days. The fruit farm would only be good in one day. Sell ​​it at a high price half the time, and sell it at a low price the rest of the day, otherwise you have to lose it. It's a bit risky to buy so much.

After waiting for a while, Guo Lanchang moved the fruits, said a few words to a young man escorting the car, and then ran over to greet Xian Yaowen.

"Contractor, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Xian Yaowen responded with a smile, "It'll be fine later. I just want Boss Peng to help me pick a basket of the best ones."

"It must be good, it must be good. The charterer comes into the store and sits down. I will help you choose."

Guo Lanchang led Xian Yaowen into Changji's store and asked his wife, Aunt Chang, to watch tea. After Xian Yaowen declined, Guo Lanchang quickly opened the lid of a bamboo basket and checked the quality of the plums, basket by basket. Very carefully.

Xian Yaowen felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, and said quickly: "Boss Peng, there's no need to go to such trouble, it's almost enough."

"No, I must choose the best one for you, the charterer."

The words in this scene were really polite, but they were beneficial to him. Xian Yaowen stopped using the polite words and asked the question he had just asked, "Boss Peng, can you sell all the plums you brought?"

Guo Lanchang walked to Xian Yaowen holding the latest basket he inspected, "Mr. Charterer, what do you think of this basket?"

Xian Yaowen took a quick look and saw that most of the plums were green and red, and some had fine cracks. They were the ripest fruits. He nodded, "This is the basket." "I'll weigh the fruits for you." Lan Chang handed the bamboo basket to Aunt Chang to have it weighed, and then he came to stand in front of Xian Yao's tattoo and answered the previous question, "Mr. Bao, to tell you the truth, I paid for these plums by paying off debts, and they are not expensive. As long as I can sell half of it, I’ll make money.”

Aunt Chang, who was weighing the scales, heard Guo Lanchang's words and immediately said in a sarcastic tone: "Charterer, don't listen to his car or artillery. He is a loser. He helped people transport goods to Taiwan. He didn't get the money and the ship It’s gone. Otherwise, if you don’t make more money by barging goods, you’ll have to sell rotten bananas here.”

"Ba Po, I told you not to mention this matter again." Guo Lanchang frowned and said displeased.

Aunt Chang threw the scale on the bamboo basket, bared her fangs, and shouted: "Why don't you mention it? I insist on mentioning it. You are a loser. If I marry you, I will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."

"What's this called?"

Xian Yaowen complained, and could only stand up to break up the fight, comforted Aunt Chang for a few words, and then pulled Guo Lanchang out of the store.

With a word of comfort, he lit a cigar and squatted in front of the store with Guo Lanchang to smoke a cigarette.

After two mouthfuls of white mist, Guo Lanchang started chatting, "Two years ago, I had a cargo ship. One day, a small boss came to me and wanted me to help him transport fish fry to Taiwan. Of course I would do the business.

Who would have known that the ship encountered a big storm not long after it went out to sea, and it took several days to survive it. When the ship arrived in Taiwan, all the fry on the ship were dead. "

Guo Lanchang flicked the ash from his cigarette, sighed and continued: "It's my fault for being soft-hearted. I know that the little boss used all his belongings in exchange for a boatload of fry. If all of them die, he will lose everything. When he was in Taiwan, the little boss came to discuss with me. , wanted me to use the boat as collateral to transport a boatload of bananas back, but I didn’t agree at first because the risk was too great. Later, the little boss told me that I refused because he had no money to pay me for the freight, so he had no choice but to jump into the sea.

He said this, so I had no choice but to agree. I couldn't just watch a young man die like this.

In this way, we shipped a boatload of bananas and left Taiwan. I don’t know whether he was unlucky or I was unlucky. There was strong wind along the way, and the boat could stop and go. Finally, when we returned to Hong Kong, the bananas in the boat were all rotten, and one banana was rotten. None of the good ones. "

"Is your ship just gone?"

"It was taken away, but the little boss is a nice person and is willing to admit his debt. He has sent money every month for the past two years and has paid me back a lot. But the small money cannot be saved, and it flows in and out. I have no money anymore." Buy a new ship." Guo Lanchang said helplessly: "The barge business has been good in the past two years, but I missed the opportunity to make money."

"Boss Peng, don't be anxious. Now is a good time. There are many opportunities to make big money. Sooner or later, it will fall on you." Xian Yaowen patted Guo Lanchang on the shoulder, "The little boss you are talking about is the one I gave you just now. The person who delivers the goods?”

Guo Lanchang's brows widened, and his heavy heart instantly relaxed, "It's him, Lanjiao Feng, who runs a gold shop and sells fruits. His business is pretty good, and he can pay me back my money soon."

"Isn't that good? Don't be like Aunt Chang. It's normal for her to be angry. Please calm her down after a while." Xian Yaowen stood up and said: "I won't go back to the store. Please help me deliver it to 52 later Number."

"immediately."

"Goodbye."

Today, Wednesday, Xian Yaowen put the materials in the study room in Building 1, and immediately went downstairs to Building 3.

As soon as she stepped onto the fourth floor corridor, she heard the sound of mahjong coming from the house. She walked to the window and took a look inside. Su Lizhen was sitting with her back to the window. On her left and right were the two landladies who played Su Lizhen's cards. Son, opposite is Mrs. Chu, damn it, he still doesn’t know this woman’s name.

It’s not surprising that these four women get together to play cards. The four of them are already old partners. However, Chu Tianlan is sitting behind Mrs. Chu, holding peeled melon seeds in his hand and stuffing them into Mrs. Chu’s mouth.

"Tsk, what the hell kind of combination is this? How can Chu Tianlan be so open-minded?"
