The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 331 The Strange Old Man

These words also attracted the attention of several passers-by around, and everyone couldn't help but gather together, ready to watch the excitement.

The old man didn't believe Zhao Shui's words. She thought for a while, then picked up an apple and rubbed it on her body. At this time, someone brought a basin of water, so the old man put the apple in the wash and rubbed it vigorously. .

But the apple not only didn't fade, but became smoother with washing, which surprised the old man. He couldn't help washing it vigorously, but due to his too much skill, the apple skin was crumpled by him, and a large piece fell off. The color on it did not fade at all.

The old man couldn't help being more surprised when he saw this: "Is this really what I grew?" He couldn't help but continue to ask.

Zhao Shui nodded and smiled, "Yes."

At this time, someone in the crowd couldn't help asking: "I heard that there is this kind of fruit in the shop in the villa in front of you. The high-ranking officials buy this kind of fruit when they get married or celebrate their birthdays."

The classical Chinese crowd couldn't help but explode, and everyone talked about it.

The old man asked, "How do you sell this fruit?"

"Fifteen cents a piece."

"Fifteen cents a piece?" The old man squeezed his beard. Ordinary apples only cost ten to thirteen cents a catty, but this one costs fifteen cents a piece.

"It's a bit expensive." The old man couldn't help but said.

Zhao Shui didn't panic, just smiled and said: "Those are apples without words. If the old man is just for eating, it's more cost-effective to buy fifteen yuan a catty, but we are Xiguo, and when we get married , naturally we must prepare some good fruits."

Hearing this, the old man sighed, looked at the fruit again, and couldn't help but said: "Well, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it's worth buying two Double Happiness Fruits for thirty cents."

As he said that, he said to Zhao Shui: "I want two Double Happiness characters, you choose the bigger one for me." Thinking about it, he felt uneasy, so he leaned out to pick the bigger one by himself. Everyone saw that the old man went to pick the bigger one, and they were afraid After falling behind, they squeezed in to pick apples.

The old man did not leave after picking the apples, but continued to wander around the booth.

"What's this yellow one?" The old man asked, pointing to the mangoes on the stall that were no longer than the length of a finger.

"This is a mango, a specialty of Malacca, a rare variety that we don't have here."

These mangoes were the small varieties left after the deletion, but all the larger ones were sent to the shop, and the biggest and sweetest ones were naturally sent to the Grand Palace.

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but said: "This thing is also fifteen cents a piece?"

"That's not it. It's called on the catty, and it's thirty cents a catty."

"Thirty Wen!" The old man gasped. Although it was not a few taels of silver a catty, thirty Wen was enough for a family of two to have a good meal.

"Yes, this is a tropical fruit. It is not easy to transport it. The intermediate journey takes a lot of time, so it is naturally more expensive. But at this price, we are only getting back the capital."

Hearing this, the old man looked around, then leaned his head closer and whispered to Zhao Shui: "Don't fool me, old man, these are all defective products left by Mianqi Villa, right? Give me a real price!"

Zhao Shui didn't know whether to laugh or cry when asked, he thought for a while and said: "28 Wen, no less, you can take a look at these things in the shop, the cheapest one costs three taels of silver a catty!"

The old man didn't talk nonsense, and just poured it out: "25 coins, if you don't sell it, forget it."

Hearing this, Zhao Shui had no choice but to nod his head: "Okay then, you can't tell others about this price. If you buy it like this, I will lose money."

The old man said disdainfully, "Would you do business that loses money?"

After speaking, he began to pick mangoes, also looking for big ones, and then he turned to the place selling hawthorn cakes.

After these hawthorn cakes were made, the leftovers were cut off. The old man looked at them, pointed to the hawthorn cakes and said, "Can I try it?"

Zhao Shui nodded with a smile, and the old man unceremoniously picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth.

The entrance is full of the fragrance of hawthorn, but it is not so sour, but sweet in the mouth, with sugar added in it.

The old man nodded repeatedly while eating: "Well, this stuff is good. It's sweeter than hawthorn, but it doesn't lose the deliciousness of hawthorn, and the medicinal effect doesn't diminish."

Hearing this, Zhao Shui looked at the old man in surprise, and suddenly felt that this old man seemed a little unusual.

Perhaps because of the instinct of a businessman, Zhao Shui couldn't help but quietly looked at the old man's movements. The old man didn't seem to be in a panic. He asked the price one by one, tasted it one by one, and bargained one by one. Then think about it before moving on to the next one.

The old man's movements are extremely methodical and rational, and he will also ask himself some questions through thinking, such as: "What is your name? How do you eat it? Why does it have some strange taste?" etc. It seems like a buyer is asking the seller some common questions, but this old man is more like eager to know something.

If ordinary people encounter this situation, I am afraid they will be reluctant to say anything because of doubts, but Zhao Shui is an exception. In the end, he simply stood in front of the old man, helping the old man with the fruits he just bought. explain.

The old man glanced at Zhao Shui, and didn't say much. Instead, the devil let Zhao Shui serve him openly.

Besides the old man, many people also joined the store.

After all, the old man took the lead, and everyone came together curiously, buying some of this and that of that.

But at this moment, a carriage came from a distance, the curtain on the carriage was lifted, and a woman in a gorgeous dress with a protruding belly came down slowly. Zhan Jinfeng looked at the lively crowd in front of him, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

There were unexpectedly many people, which surprised Zhan Jinfeng.

Although she didn't think her shop would be so crowded, she never expected that there would be so many people.

She looked inside in surprise, it seemed that the manpower brought by Zhao Shui was not enough.

Thinking about it, she slowly walked around the crowd and walked to the back of the booth.

The man who was so busy seeing someone coming in from behind couldn't help being a little annoyed, he turned his head and glared angrily, "Go ahead and line up!"

After finishing speaking, he found out that the person who came from behind was Miss Zhan Jinfeng, which made the man jump. He quickly put down the things in his hands and came to support Zhan Jinfeng: "Miss, why are you here?"

Zhan Jinfeng smiled slightly, pushed the clerk away and said, "You are busy with your work, I just came over to take a look, don't worry about me, Nuanyu will take care of me."

Hearing this, the young man stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the carriage, and sure enough, he saw Nuan Yu hurrying over with a round pier in his arms.
