Walking through the market, the surrounding stalls can be said to have everything you need, including fruits and vegetables, pickles and seeds, and cheap clothes and shoes, which can be bought for only a few dozen yuan.
Children like balloons and toys, and the elderly like tobacco leaves and shredded tobacco.
During the four years of college, Jiang Tian went to farmers¡¯ markets all the time. Large-scale markets like this can only be seen in small counties like this.
"Fresh peaches, just picked from the orchard, come and take a look!"
"Look, look, potatoes only cost one yuan, tomatoes cost two yuan a pound!"
¡°Authentic Xinjiang cantaloupe, it¡¯s not sweet and it doesn¡¯t cost any money. Come, you can taste it and you¡¯ll know whether it¡¯s sweet or not.¡±
"Freshly baked waxy corn costs one dollar a head."
There are shouting and noisy sounds all around, and various smells are mixed together, such as the smell of waxy corn, the smell of braised pig's trotters, the smell of sesame oil, etc., but it is the most realistic expression of the concentration.
¡°New Year Gao, sell New Year Gao!¡±
Hearing the voice calling for rice cakes, Jiang Tian¡¯s eyes lit up and he ran over, ¡°Give me a rice cake worth ten yuan!¡±
The seller of rice cakes was a thin middle-aged uncle. Hearing this, he was shocked and said, "Young man, how many people are you eating?"
"Two people, me and my grandpa."
"Ten dollars is too much for two people to eat. Five dollars is about the same. Which one do you want, the red bean one or the glutinous rice one?"
Jiang Tian was slightly startled. When he was studying in the city, ten yuan was just enough to eat. He subconsciously replied, "Have some of both, cut more candied dates, and by the way, divide them into two portions for me. "
The uncle cut off a large piece and put it on the scale. Seeing that it was not enough, he added more, "It's exactly five yuan."
Jiang Tian took over a large piece of rice cake, which was twice as big as the one he had bought for ten yuan before.
"That's right. He has noticed the consumption in the county and the city, but he has forgotten this.
"Cash or Alipay?" The uncle's words dragged Jiang Tian back to the city. Unexpectedly, Alipay has become popular in small counties.
After paying the bill, Jiang Tian ate rice cakes, which still tasted the same as when he was a child.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Tian? How come people from big cities came to the countryside? They couldn't survive and were driven back."
A mocking and joking voice sounded.
Jiang Tian frowned slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.
A man with dyed yellow hair and a dirty look, wearing a ripped sweater on the upper body and jeans on the lower body, his face is full of disdain.
"You're thinking too much!" Jiang Tian replied and ignored him. This person's name was Li Wenlong, and he was his junior high school classmate. However, the relationship between the two was not very good, it could even be said to be very bad.
Li Wenlong was jealous that he was from the city, so he deliberately attacked him with words all the time, and even provoked other students to have a relationship with him. Later, Jiang Tian couldn't bear it anymore and gave him a lesson directly.
Since my relationship with my classmates was rather tense, I simply transferred to another school.
I didn¡¯t expect to meet him here today.
"Why are you walking? Are you scared?" Li Wenlong wanted to chase him.
"Wenlong, come and take a look." A female voice stopped him, and when he turned around again, Jiang Tian had disappeared.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Tian returned to the stall where his grandfather was. The two old ladies next to him had disappeared.
"They went to set up a stall somewhere else. After all, no one comes here to buy vegetables." Grandpa explained that until now, he has not sold any of his vegetables.
"Let's eat some food first. I bought fried dough sticks, bean curds, steamed dumplings, and rice cakes. In order to hold the bean curds, I also bought a pair of porcelain bowls."
Grandpa laughed when he saw the big and small bags in Jiang Tian¡¯s hand, ¡°I still like these snacks as much as you did when you were a kid.¡±
They ate bean curd and fried dough sticks. Grandpa originally thought that he had a small appetite and couldn't eat much, but he didn't expect that it was rare for him to eat with gusto.
"Hey, how much do your cucumbers cost?" A woman carrying a bag came over and asked, holding a potted flower in her hand. Obviously buying flowers was the key point.
¡°It¡¯s only one yuan a pound. It¡¯s all grown at home. There are no pesticides or fertilizers, and it tastes delicious.¡± Grandpa quickly explained his product.
The woman took a few glances and said, "No pesticides? What a lie. This cucumber looks so juicy. If there were no pesticides, it would grow intoWhat does it look like? Not to mention a dollar, even if you give me a dime, you don¡¯t want it. "
After saying that, he left directly.
Grandpa was a little helpless, "I really didn't use pesticides, why don't you believe it?"
Jiang Tian finished the remaining fried dough sticks and drank all the beans.
¡°Grandpa, you eat something and I¡¯ll sell it!¡±
He walked to the uncle selling flowers next to him and asked, "Uncle, how much does this pot of flowers cost?"
"This is golden osmanthus. It is very fragrant after blooming. The price of osmanthus is always very expensive. This is a fresh cutting. Just give me ten yuan. If you want to buy a flower pot, I will count you fifteen."
"Okay, give me a basin."
The uncle neatly handed the sweet-scented osmanthus and the basin to Jiang Tian.
"Uncle, can you give me a cardboard? I want to write something."
The uncle understood, "Okay, take it, I have a writing pen here."
After buying his things, the uncle also became more lively, "It's not me, just take some advice and sell it at the vegetable market. There are not many people buying vegetables here."
"Thank you!" Jiang Tian didn't listen to him. After writing on the cardboard, he placed it in front of the stall.
The boss selling furniture across the street laughed when he saw it, "Young man, you are using this gimmick of exaggerating the price to attract people to buy. Don't think too much, I am not a fool."
Even my grandfather thought it was a bit outrageous. Cucumbers and eggplants cost 15 yuan per catty, tomatoes cost 20 yuan, and a small amount of two bunches of grapes were sold by the bunch, and one bunch cost 300 yuan.
Grandpa tugged on Jiang Tian¡¯s clothes, ¡°Is this price too expensive? Do you want to change it?¡±
"Grandpa, don't worry. It's absolutely fine. If no one buys it, it will only be their loss." Jiang Tian didn't intend to change the price. He had just set up a stall here to sell, otherwise the price would have been higher. .
Yesterday, he specially watered the cucumber with spiritual energy in the yard. When he ate the cucumber, he could feel the faint presence of spiritual energy. If grandpa hadn't already picked it and couldn't find an excuse not to sell it, he wouldn't sell it. Now, why don¡¯t you keep it for yourself and eat it?
The carp just stayed in the space for a while, but it had such a great effect even if it was eaten by my grandpa. These fruits and vegetables are definitely good for the body.
As time goes by, more and more people come to the market, and many of them come here. When they see the cardboard in front of Jiang Tian¡¯s stall, they stop for a moment and leave without asking.
"Dad, give me some money!" A familiar voice fell in Jiang Tian's ear. He looked over and saw that it was Li Wenlong again. He was really lingering.
What¡¯s more, what he didn¡¯t expect was that the boss selling furniture across the street turned out to be Li Wenlong¡¯s father.
