Leisurely Shannon

Chapter 9 A good start (recommendation, collection)

Wang Yun has never done such a thing as setting up a stall. For a young and energetic guy, setting up a stall is often a helpless choice, either for living or for other purposes.

But Wang Yun, he just wanted to save his mother from having to work so hard, because pulling a rickshaw full of melons from Taoyuan Village to the town was a full ten miles, and the road from the village to the town was still asphalt. The road is not a smooth concrete road like other places, which is undoubtedly a very hard work for the mother who already has a lot of gray hair.

Wang Yun couldn't bear it.

So, he insisted on taking on this task. As for the hypocrisy of face, Wang Yun no longer cared about it. In other words, compared with his mother's hard work, face was nothing.

Fairy day, such a day is in the concept of many rural people. Generally speaking, it is a fair day every two days. On this day, there will be many villagers who come from all directions in the town, or go shopping. , or purchase the things you need, anyway, on this day, the town will always be busier than usual.

Wang Yun sells melons, so he will naturally choose to go there on this day.

Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, he pulled a rickshaw and came to the melon field. Next to him was his mother, Deng Xiaoying. With a little excitement, Wang Yun and Deng Xiaoying began to carefully pick a melon. A big white melon.

This cantaloupe has been taken care of by the whole family since it matured, but they have hardly eaten any of the cantaloupe they grew themselves, except for the one that tasted whether it was ripe. According to what my mother said The cantaloupe market is pretty good now. Such a big cantaloupe can be sold for five or six yuan, so how can they be willing to eat it.

Regarding this point, Wang Yun is also very helpless. Sometimes, a poor word can bring about a big change in a family, and even the way of life will change accordingly.

After the mother and son slowly filled a large cart with cantaloupe, and after passing the Danjiang River, Wang Yun no longer asked his mother to help push the cart, but pulled a cart full of cantaloupe to the town by himself. and go.

The rickshaw was very tiring. When he arrived at the town, Wang Yun was already sweating. Fengyang Town was very lively early in the morning on the fair day. There was a constant flow of vehicles coming and going, but most of them There are many motorcycles, and many people dare to come to the town early in the morning to do business or go to work.

After Wang Yun found a booth at an intersection, he went to a nearby family to wash his face, and then began to set up his own booth.

Early in the morning, just like Wang Yun, there were many people setting up stalls on both sides of the street. As long as they didn't occupy those fixed stalls, most of the time, they could set up stalls anywhere else.

Although Wang Yun had never set up a stall before, he knew it himself.

Now, it is only 08:30 in the morning, when the sun shines on the earth, it has just begun to exert its power. Because Wang Yun came early, he was lucky enough to occupy a position at an intersection.

Many villagers who came to the town to go shopping or buy things would pass by such a place, but now, not many people came, Wang Yun was not in a hurry, and began to adjust his weighing pan.

Fake scales are very popular in many stalls now. Wang Yun doesn't like that, but he won't accuse others.

At nine o'clock, Wang Yun's truckload of cantaloupe hadn't been sold yet. In other words, he had been waiting here for nearly an hour and a half, but still hadn't ushered in a good start.

However, looking at Wang Yun's face, it seemed that he was still very calm.

At ten o'clock, the number of people coming and going suddenly increased, and these were the people who really came to the town to go shopping.

Some people couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw Wang Yun, a young man wearing an ordinary white T-shirt. In the town, there are not many young men selling things at stalls.

However, they soon noticed that the melons transported by Wang Yun seemed particularly beautiful, big and white, and very pleasing to the eye.

The first customer who came up to inquire was a middle-aged woman. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, her hair was tied up casually, and her face was a little sallow. She looked like Wang Yun's mother. of.

"Young man, how do you sell this melon?"

"Four yuan a catty." Wang Yun said with a smile.

When the woman heard that it was four yuan a catty, she immediately blinked, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"Four dollars?"

Wang Yun nodded, still looking like a beast.

"The cantaloupe sold by others is at most two yuan and five pounds. Why are you selling it so expensive here?"

Wang Yun seems to have known that the other party would say that. In a place like the countryside, women are more likely to bargain than anyone else.

"Auntie, I have sliced ​​cantaloupe here. You can try it. If you feel that the price is not right after eating it, then you can go to other places." Wang Yun was also very calm, pointing to the side of the cut melon. Good chunks of cantaloupe.

The woman hesitated for a moment, but took a piece and tasted it.

After eating one piece, the woman felt the intoxicating smell of melon all over her throat and even her stomach. She really wanted to buy one back, but...it was too expensive!

The woman hesitated for a moment, but walked away, and Wang Yun didn't say anything.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked over with a cute little girl.

"Little brother, how do you sell this melon?"

The middle-aged man casually turned over the cantaloupe in Wang Yun's rickshaw, and asked.

"Four dollars a pound."

Wang Yun still did not change his price.

"So expensive?"

The expression of the middle-aged man was even more surprised than that of the woman before.

"Dad, what is this big white thing?"

At this time, the little girl next to her spoke, her voice was very pleasant, like a silver bell.

"Heh... your daughter is not only beautiful, but also has a nice voice."

Hearing Wang Yun's praise, the middle-aged man smiled.

"Little sister, this is called muskmelon. Uncle will give you a piece to taste." Wang Yun said to the little girl with a smile.

"it is good!"

After the little girl glanced at her father, she saw her father nodding, then stared at Wang Yun with his big watery eyes, and immediately replied happily.

Wang Yun picked up the largest cut melon and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl slowly put the piece of melon into her mouth, and then she began to taste it. However, a child of her age may not know what tasting is. Swallow in the stomach.

"Dad, it's so sweet, I still want to eat it!"

The little girl raised her head, looked at her father, and shook her little hand slightly, as if she was showing off her cuteness.

"Go ahead and buy one. Although it's a bit more expensive, I guarantee that this cantaloupe is delicious."

The middle-aged man smiled, and immediately chose two, one for two and a half catties, and the other for three catties, for a total of 22 yuan. Wang Yun finally ushered in a good start.
