Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder Girl's Counterattack

Chapter 57

The next morning, I got up before dawn. I put on wear-resistant and warm clothes, cleaned up briefly, ate some boiled noodles, and hurried out.

It is late autumn now, and the weather in the early morning is quite cold. I still feel a little cold in my fleece under my coat, because the bus has not come yet, so I can only walk forward.The strong wind blew my hair away, so I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

Going to the grocery store to stock up is the most crucial step in the process of doing business.

When I was in the village before, I heard from a neighbor in our village that he was buying goods here. His family members all work in the city.

In the late 80s, fruit production was still very low, so for ordinary families, buying fruit was an expensive expense.

Neighbors once said that there was a lot of chaos at the vegetable stand, and any kind of situation would happen.

Some merchants will intentionally mess it up. The first layer of the box looks good, but the bottom is full of bad or small inferior fruits, and sand and stones are added to the bottom of the box to increase the weight. Such fruits may not be as cost-effective as buying them in bulk at the market after going home.So pay extra attention.

I asked at the time: "If this is the case, why don't you go to them to settle the score?"

The neighbor laughed and said: "These merchants are so mobile. The people you went to see today may not be there next time, not to mention how powerful those people are. Even if they buy bad things, they usually just endure it. I don’t dare to settle accounts with him. Otherwise, if those guys find a place where no one is around and catch you and beat you up, the little money you want back will not be enough for medical expenses.”

I was quite surprised: "Is no one caring?"

"It's too messy, I can't control it, anyway, if you go shopping, you have to be careful."

After listening to his introduction, I already have a preliminary understanding of the vegetable shop. There are law-abiding, adulterated, forced buying and selling, stealing and blackmailing, and fighting. It is a most chaotic place.

As I walked, I thought in my heart, if I can buy good things, at least I can guarantee that I won’t lose money, but if there is something wrong with the purchase, then in all likelihood, this transaction will be in trouble, and I have to find a way to make up for it Losses do.

So you can't buy things from one company, it is more practical to inquire who sells the goods.

I walked for nearly an hour before arriving at the vegetable station.At this time, the sky was already bright, and the place was already crowded with people. The doors of each large warehouse had been fully opened. There were hundreds of storage holes here. Various samples were placed outside each warehouse, and the inside was full of There are densely packed fruit and vegetable boxes.

Those sellers were all standing there shouting in heavy cotton coats, with a large scale beside them.

Every warehouse is crowded with people. Whoever chooses vegetables or fruits and puts them on the scale will be paid and left. The basic time will not exceed 1 minute. If you take too long, no one will pay attention to you.

The yard was crowded with people, small merchants and hawkers who bought goods, those who used tricycles and flatbed carts to pull their feet, old farmers who used horse-drawn carts to drive vegetables, and those who mixed in there to sell breakfast, and sneaked in there to steal. crowded together.

There are cardboard boxes, food residues, rotten fruits, and broken vegetable leaves all over the ground. There is a strange smell in the air. I saw a big persimmon rolled over from nowhere and was quickly trampled to pieces. . .

No matter who you are, when communicating, you have to rely on yelling constantly, which makes my ears buzzing, otherwise there is no way to communicate. In an instant, I suddenly felt that I had entered another world. Can't react.

Numerous large trucks came and went in a hurry, all kinds of vegetables and fruits, sugar cane, and various dry goods from other places were piled up in the large trucks and brought in quickly.

The driver of the car kept honking the horn to remind pedestrians to give way, the sound was very harsh.

At this time, a car carrying cabbage came in behind, and someone was squatting on the ground to carry goods. He didn't notice the situation behind him, so the driver stuck his head out and cursed: "Damn, do you have eyes? Do you want to die? Hurry up and make way for me!"

The people in the underground also pointed at him and cursed: "You son of a bitch! You try to crush me! I don't believe you can crush me to death?"

"Old bastard, I'll kill you right now, and let you die early!"

"Okay, I'm lying in front of you right now. If you have the ability, you crush me to death. If you don't, you're my grandson!" The man pointed at the driver and shouted with his eyes wide open.

His wife yelled at the driver and pulled her husband aside.

The driver swore and drove the car over.

Some people behind him scolded each other because they stepped on their feet, and some people suddenly quarreled because they had a problem with the calculation, cursing each other loudly.For some unknown reason, two more women rolled into a pile of cabbage and fought each other. The scene was hot.

Maybe it's because it's too hard, so everyone here has an extremely irritable temper, basically the kind that catches fire.I stood there and looked at these people blankly.Not long after, he was bumped several times, and his shoulder hurt.

A big man was carrying two boxes of fruit and pushed me aside, shouting loudly: "If you don't buy anything, just stay and don't get in the way here! I don't know if you are busy?"

I just remembered that I haven't bought what I want yet, and I actually watched the excitement here for a long time.

I squeezed into the crowd and looked at them one by one. Seeing that more than half of the goods were sold out soon, I hadn’t made a choice yet, and I became more and more anxious. What should I do if all the good things were bought away? ?After searching for a long time, I finally found a stall selling hawthorn. Seeing that the samples of his hawthorn seemed to be good, and the size was not bad, I went to the boss to ask the price.

The boss was talking to people over there because he couldn't understand the accounts of several boxes of oranges, and was shouting very angrily: "Can you do it? Can you figure it out? Is your brain eaten by bugs? You are as stupid as a pig." !"

The man who bought the oranges pointed at him and yelled, "Damn it, why don't you figure it out yourself and you're looking for me here?"

The two abused each other, and they both took their notebooks and recalculated.

I walked over and asked, "This hawthorn..."

"One dollar a catty, twenty for a box!" He turned his head and sprayed my face with spit.

I said, "You're not worthy? I think this little box doesn't weigh more than twenty catties."

The boss lowered his head and scratched something with a pen: "What the hell, do you like to buy it or not! I don't have time to pay attention to you?" He said and threw the notebook hard on the face of buying oranges. : "Damn, did you miscalculate, I knew you had a problem!"

The man who bought the oranges didn't say a word, he was still calculating with his notebook.Two more people came to buy apples, but they thought it was too expensive, so they started fighting with him without saying a few words.

I have no choice, and I really have no way to wait for him to talk to me, so I can only take out a box of hawthorns from his warehouse to prepare for the money, because my change is all mixed together, so Counting is a bit slow.

The man kept urging: "Hurry up! I've never seen you so slow to buy goods, can you get the money in advance next time? I don't even want to sell it to you!"

"Oh, okay, I'll find it now." I hurriedly gave him the money.The boss took the money from me, grabbed an orange from his stall, and threw it on the head of a middle-aged man in front of him.

"Paralysis, put down my apple for me!"

That person was hit in the back of the head, and with an ouch, he fell directly to the ground, and a dozen large apples rolled out of his clothes.

It turned out that someone stole a lot of apples and wanted to leave when I gave him money, but he found out, and the middle-aged man ran away without looking back, leaving behind a lot of apples.

The boss snatched the apple back, cursing in his mouth, and kept complaining that I wasted his time by changing the money.

I thought to myself, he is really watching all directions and listening to all directions.I walked out with the hawthorn in my arms.After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a loud voice behind me: "You dare to steal my hawthorn! See if I don't beat you to death!"

I was taken aback and almost threw the hawthorn box on the ground. I didn't steal anything!
