Chapter 169 Hudou listed

As soon as the fertilizer is applied, the peas will grow up and they can be picked and sold on the market. The key to selling peas is the word "morning". That is, you have to carry the beans to Longzhong Street before dawn. As soon as it is dawn

, people who go to the street to buy vegetables will come to pick out the freshly marketed beans.

In order to get there early, you have to pick the peas back in the evening the day before. There are still some things to pay attention to when picking peas. Generally, peas are opposite, and there are usually two pods on each branch. Sometimes there are three. Of course, there are also

If there is one knot, the bean will be very big. In a sense, the bean knot is like "family planning". The more knots, the smaller the bean will be. Because the bean does not grow uniformly.

.There are big ones and small ones. So pick the big one first, leave the small one, and then wait for it to continue to grow.

The first batch of peas on the market was not particularly large in quantity. After picking and choosing, I still picked a lot of beans.

The peas will mature a little later and cannot be marketed yet.

The picked beans should be put upstairs for ventilation, otherwise they will be damaged. And be sure not to sprinkle water. Once water is sprinkled, the color of the beans will either turn black the next day, or the beans will completely deteriorate.

It is not convenient to weigh at home, because the scale at home is a small scale and can only weigh 30 kilograms. If you tip it over, you can weigh it, but you will still suffer some damage to the beans. This will affect the "saleability" of the beans.

”.

Before dawn, I would light up my flashlight and carry the beans on my back to sell them in Longzhong.

We arrived at Longzhong Street. Ouch! It’s true that Mo Daojun left early, and there were even more early travelers. Freshly marketed beans were already lined up on the street.

I was also next to a woman selling beans. I asked her to hold the back of the bean for me and put it on the ground. Soon a "seller" came to ask if she could sell it.

I asked: "How much do you pay per pound?"

Dealer: "How much do you want per pound?"

Me: "Triangle weighs a pound."

As soon as I finished speaking, the woman gave me a wink. But I really didn't understand whether her wink was "low" or "high". However, I soon knew it was "low."

Because the dealer didn't say anything, he just came to pick up my armor and said: "Okay. Oops. At eight in the morning, everyone is happy. It's just a triangle, I bought them all."

Although I felt "lost", I had already said the words and I was too embarrassed to take them back. So with the help of the dealer, I picked up my armor and followed the dealer to a "scale" to weigh myself. One scale was okay.

It actually weighed eighty-four kilograms. But when the dealer took her bamboo basket and dumped the beans, she then took the back of the shell to the scale to "remove the skin." One scale weighs ten kilograms of skin.

I stopped doing it. "Your scale is not suitable. My armor is obviously only eight pounds, how can I weigh ten pounds here?"

Dealer: "Hey, please keep your voice down. It's eight in the morning. This scale is not mine. If it were mine, you'd say I did some 'tampering'. The scale belongs to my boss.

You can sell rice and noodles, but you can't sell beans? Isn't it just a difference of two kilograms? Just follow your instructions and remove eight kilograms of skin. The total gross weight is eighty-four kilograms. If you remove the eight kilograms of skin, it is seven

Sixteen pounds, three cents per pound, is twenty-two yuan and eighty cents. I'll give you twenty-three yuan."

After carrying a lot of hard work, I got a light twenty-three yuan. After taking the money, I counted it. Two pieces of ten yuan, one piece of one yuan, and one piece of two yuan. There were four pieces in total.

Money, face value twenty-three.

Just as I was about to put the money in my trouser pocket and leave, the boss came over and said, "Are you about to leave?"

Me: "Boss, is there anything else you can do?"

Boss: "I forgot to tell you, the fee for weighing is 50 cents per scale."

I secretly thought to myself, this is too dark. Five cents is almost two pounds of peas. I put it on his scale, and within a few seconds it was gone.

But you still have to give people money.

Carrying the empty bamboo pole on his back, he walked over and said hello to the woman.

Woman: "It's hard for me to tell you just now. I offended someone by saying it. You made a loss on the sale. This year's price is three cents and five pounds. In fact, you can make it for a while, and the price will go up. Also

, if you weigh yourself, they will also eat your scale. Each scale will eat you a few kilograms, and the skin will be removed as well, so you will be eaten twice. You will suffer another time."

Me: "Oh. So dark."

Woman: "Yes. The dealers in the dragon are all human spirits, very bad."

Me: "I've sold everything. There's nothing I can do."

I said goodbye to the woman, and I went back gloomily carrying the bamboo pole on my back. This cost me four or five yuan.

I was walking on the street when I saw someone selling steamed buns and steamed buns. I was already very hungry. I walked up and asked about the price. Steamed buns were 5 cents each and steamed buns were 2 cents each. I don’t know why, but I’m usually used to being “spending”. Now suddenly, all of a sudden

I was a little reluctant to spend two cents to buy a steamed bun and eat it.

I endured it, swallowed secretly, and said to myself: "I'm not very hungry, and I'm not far away. The buns are filled with 'lymph meat', and the steamed buns are filled with 'talcum powder'. It's better to go back and eat comfortably."

.”

When I walked to the Xianqiao with an empty bamboo pole on my back and hungrily, I was struck by the scene. I remembered that when I was in the first grade of junior high school, it was also this season. Every day before dawn, I would ride the "tripod" of the "Erba Dagang".

He rode half a circle and half a circle, giving his mother the beans and peas to carry to the dragon to sell.

When my mother approaches with the beans in her armor on her back, I ride back to school to study.

One time, because it was the weekend, I accompanied my mother to sell beans in Longzhong. At that time, the second aunt had already died. Before the second aunt died, she had to bring food to my mother during the season of selling beans.

After she died, no one brought food to her anymore. We rarely interacted with her anymore. Basically, the relationship was broken.

The peas that day were hard to sell, and the price was not good either. The sun was very bright that day, and I was already hungry and thirsty by the afternoon. In order to stabilize my irritable mood, my mother kept telling me, "Wait until the peas are sold out."

Buy me a popsicle."

With great difficulty, we finally sold out all the beans. We walked back happily.

They had already walked out of the street. I saw that my mother had no intention of buying popsicles for me to eat. I was afraid that she would forget, so I quickly reminded her: "We will be out of the dragon soon, and we won't be able to buy popsicles."

Mother: "I'll buy it for you now. You haven't reached Xianqiao yet and your mouth is dry again. Wait a minute. When you get to Xianqiao, there will definitely be someone selling it. I will buy it for you."

Okay. I got Mother's "promise". I'll bear with it for now.

It felt like this leisure bridge was so far away. Finally, we reached it.

"We sell ice cream and ice cream... We sell cold and delicious ice cream and ice cream..."

I quickly ran up and surrounded the boss. "Boss, how much does an ice cream cost?"

Boss: "Sorbet costs five cents each."

Me: "Where's the ice cream?"

Boss: "Ice cream costs two cents each."

I looked at my mother longingly, hoping that she would quickly buy a popsicle for me to eat.

My mother fell out of favor: "Eat whatever you want. It's just a little water and a little saccharin. Just go back and have a scoop of water."

As soon as I heard my mother say this, my mood suddenly collapsed and I burst into tears hysterically.

Mother ignored me and walked away minding her own business.

That day was a "dark" day in my life. So much so that the "image" of my mother in my heart collapsed at that moment.

I'm tired of crying. The world is so big and there's no place for me to go. I'm hungry, so I'd better go back to get something to eat.

For many years, this has been a "knot" in my heart.

To this day, I have finally realized how “reluctant” my mother felt back then. I “forgive” my mother from the bottom of my heart.

I took a rest on the Xianqiao and hurried back because I already knew the market price today. I hurried back to make preparations for picking peas in the afternoon. This season is here, and peas grow very fast. You have to hurry up and sell them.
