When the owner of Zhuting Teahouse saw the little boy, he came over to apologize to Yi Xiaohai: "These are children from the village. They sell some game to make some pocket money. Don't be angry"
"It's okay" Yi Xiaohai asked the little boy with a smile: "How much does your pheasant cost"
"5 yuan each"
"Then I want these two pheasants"
The little boy was very excited when he heard that Yi Xiaohai wanted both: "Then I can give you a dollar cheaper, I only want you 9 dollars"
Yi Xiaohai took 10 yuan and gave it to the little boy: "You don't have to take advantage of it. Just keep the 10 yuan"
"No, I said 9 yuan, it is 9 yuan, I will come back to you for money right away"
The little boy handed the pheasant to Yi Xiaohai without taking the money, and then ran away.
Although the little boy is not old, he has his own persistence and will never charge more than 9 yuan.
Yi Xiaohai asked the boss of the tea pavilion: "Boss, where is he going"
"In addition to this lake, Dongshan Bamboo Sea also has several small waterfalls and some scenic spots. These children are selling things at several scenic spots. He is going to get change"
"They usually sell wild game here?"
"I usually come here on weekends when there are no classes" The owner of the tea pavilion saw that Yi Xiaohai was easy to talk to, so he chatted with him: "Their children are headed by the little boy just now. He is quite business-minded. According to the season, Different, selling different things, you can make some pocket money"
"Tell me what they sell"
"In winter and spring, they mainly dug winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots, and caught bamboo worms, fried them and sold them. In summer, they started to dig bamboo fungus, and in autumn they hunted In the past, they would also use bamboo to make small handicrafts, but later someone set up a stall. , they won¡¯t sell it¡¡±
Yi Xiaohai didn¡¯t expect these children to be so smart. Not only did they know how to change products according to the seasons, but they also acted like a general. They didn¡¯t fight for the business done by others.
"Then what's going on with their business"
"It's average, after all, this is not a scenic spot But the things these children sell are all made from local materials in the mountains, and there is no cost. They don't care so much about whether the business is good or bad, they just want to make some pocket money and be happy"
A guest came to the tea pavilion, and the conversation between the boss and Yi Xiaohai ended.
Yi Xiaohai thought of what happened when he was a child.
At that time, Yi Xiaohai should be about the same age as a little boy. There was a small black and white game console on the market that could only play Snake and Tetris. Each one cost dozens of dollars.
The dozens of yuan in the 1980s were undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Yi Xiaohai at that age. His pocket money was only enough to buy some snacks, and there was no extra money at all.
So he started making money with Li Yin and Jiang Zhonghua.
In the spring, we dig wild vegetables, in the summer we go to the river to catch fish, crabs, and crayfish, and in the fall and winter we pick up rags, plus a small portion of the new year's money for two years.
It took three years to raise the money for the game console.
The little boy is also working hard to earn pocket money by himself, and Yi Xiaohai wants to help him.
Soon, the little boy came back full of sweat and brought a dollar in change to Yi Xiaohai.
Yi Xiaohai respected the little boy's decision and took a dollar: "Kid, do you have any other wild goods to sell"
The little boy put the money away, and when he heard Yi Xiaohai ask, he counted on his fingers: "Dried bamboo shoots, hares, pheasants, and dried bamboo fungus" Then he asked carefully: "There are some fried bamboo bugs left, and there are more Bamboo Rat, do you want these"
"Forget about bamboo rats" Although Yi Xiaohai likes food, he still keeps away from rodent creatures: "Kid, except for bamboo rats, I want all your game"
"Really" The little boy's eyes lit up.
"real¡¡"
The little boy did not expect happiness to come so suddenly: "Then can you wait for me for a while, I will go back to get"
"Slow down, I'm not in a hurry"
The little boy had already run away like flying.
The tea pavilion owner did not expect that Yi Xiaohai was so easy to talk to. After serving the table, he came over to chat with Yi Xiaohai.
Thinking that he was waiting for someone anyway, Yi Xiaohai chatted with him. As a result, Yi Xiaohai bought several cans of wild tea from the boss.
The little boy left just as quickly as he came. In about a quarter of an hour, five running children, panting and flushed, appeared in the tea pavilion, each holding a lot of things in their hands.
The little boy finished calculating the money and gave it to Yi Xiaohai.For a few dollars, Yi Xiaohai bought everything according to the little boy's price.
Yi Xiaohai gave the little boy 20 yuan alone, but the little boy refused to take it.
"Children, this is the hard work you paid for sending things, not money for buying things. This is what you deserve"
The little boy didn¡¯t understand: ¡°I don¡¯t want¡¡±
The owner of the tea pavilion looked on and couldn't stand it anymore: "Huzi, this hard work fee is just for running errands, you can accept it"
The little boy listened to the tea pavilion owner and accepted the money.
Yi Xiaohai originally wanted to give more, but later he didn't do so.
The child¡¯s character has not yet been formed. Yi Xiaohai gave the little boy 20 yuan as a kind of encouragement, but if he gave too much, it might have a bad effect.
They went into the mountain empty-handed. When they came out, both Yi Xiaohai and Lei Jun were carrying several baskets.
The things the little boy brought were so complicated that it was difficult for the two of them to carry them with their four hands. Fortunately, there was a stall selling bamboo crafts next to the tea pavilion. They bought a few bamboo baskets, and the two of them were able to go down the mountain.
Putting the things in the car, Yi Xiaohai took a deep breath.
Climbing a mountain with bare hands and climbing with a load are completely different concepts. Yi Xiaohai looked at Lei Jun with envy.
The thing in Lei Jun's hand was three times heavier than Yi Xiaohai's. His face was not red and out of breath, unlike his own, who had sweat all over his face.
"Brother Jun, how did you exercise before? After quitting for so long, your figure has not changed and your physical strength is still so good"
Many friends who exercise know that once you stop exercising, not only will your physical strength decrease, but your figure will also get out of shape.
Lei Jun and the others follow him every day now and do not exercise, but their body shape and physical strength have not changed at all. Yi Xiaohai finds it amazing.
"Our training method is different from your usual aerobic exercise of running Even our usual training is to run 5 kilometers with a weight of 50 pounds. The body produced by this kind of high-intensity training is not easy to degrade after stopping training"
Yi Xiaohai lost interest as soon as he heard it. He really couldn't do it if he asked himself to run 5 kilometers with a weight of 25 kilograms every day.
The first thing I do when I get back to the hotel is to eat.
This mountain climbing is indeed physical work, and Yi Xiaohai has already digested everything he had eaten in the morning.
The hotel¡¯s buffet restaurant has a rich menu. After eating and drinking, Yi Xiaohai went upstairs to get equipment and prepare to go to the hot spring
