Song Tan Jishi

Chapter 44 44. Okata Hardware Store

The vegetable market by the river has a history of 10 to 20 years.

Most of the time, the people and stalls selling vegetables here are relatively fixed.

Occasionally, there may be farmers who carry the burden and sell some fruits grown in the countryside, but that follows the seasons and lasts for a short time.

But only Song Tan, a new vegetable seller, is weird, so weird.

First of all, there are not many young girls selling vegetables here.

Secondly, this young girl is beautiful, and she has a silly younger brother who is equally beautiful, who is easy to sell and attracts attention.

In the end, the food was still so expensive!

At first, the vegetable vendors sneered:

Don't think that multiple silly brothers can attract customers!

This vegetable market is full of middle-aged and elderly aunts who can pick and count, and they can't wait to spend half of every penny. Pretty and pathetic, attractive elsewhere. Aunties don't pay a dime more here!

But looking at it, this silly child has moved slowly and stupidly from the beginning, and now he is getting more and more agile, counting more smoothly——

Good guy!

You put it here to train your brother.

Then there is the price of vegetables.

Twenty yuan a catty of wild vegetables?

The peddler sneered, thinking that you are just selling something new!

But later, as the weather got warmer and the price of vegetables got lower and lower, she still sold them for twenty yuan a catty? !

The vegetable vendor sneered: Are you trusting me?

Later, even the zi yunying from the fertile field was sold, and it was still twenty yuan a catty, and so many people robbed it...

The vegetable sellers are numb.

How should I put it, is it possible that he has been selling vegetables for a decade or two, but he has not grasped the trend of this vegetable market at all?

This has been tolerated for a long time, and today I finally asked.

Unexpectedly, the aunt who was asked was also full of melancholy: "Who said it wasn't? This dish is so expensive, and my heart feels like a knife when I spend money every day."

Then you still buy so much? !

The vegetable vendor stared at the bunches of fresh and clear milk vetch in the opponent's basket, with puzzled eyes.

Unexpectedly, Auntie's attitude suddenly became high again:

"You don't understand. Eating more vegetables is good for your health. Our family eats a few more catties of this vegetable every day. We can go to the toilet smoothly, our health is good, and we sleep soundly at night... My daughter's acne has disappeared a lot! It’s worth the money.”

"What's more, this dish is delicious. There is nothing bad in cold salad, stir-fry and shabu-shabu! I can't eat a meal without scratching my heart."

Onlookers: ...

Just... where did you buy the vegetables? Melatonin, Jingxin Oral Liquid, and melatonin, right?

Or have to add a poppy?

This is too exaggerated.

Unexpectedly, when the aunt saw that they didn't believe it, she became stubborn and said, "You guys, don't believe it! Is this food good to eat? Can we not know after decades of grocery shopping?"

"If you look at this girl selling vegetables again, how often does she not rely on robbery, and the big guy is not a fool? If you don't believe it, if you spend twenty yuan to be fooled once, you will know how good it is!"

Auntie rushed away with a basket of vegetables, and saw tomatoes sold by two vendors, so she took a step forward:

"How did you sell this?"

The vegetable vendor hesitated for a moment: "Eight yuan."

The aunt immediately raised her brows: "Okay! I have been shopping here for decades, and you still dare to trick me. I bought these tomatoes for four yuan yesterday!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up directly, turned his head and left.

Not far away, a vendor came over cautiously: "Brother, why did you raise the price?"

The vendor wanted to cry, "Didn't I see her buying wild vegetables for hundreds of dollars every day..."

I thought I was a tyrannical master who was not short of money, so I liked this expensive one!

On their side, they were wronged by themselves, and turned their heads again, only to find that the beautiful girl and her silly brother were about to close the stall.

The vegetable vendor next door walked briskly:

"Well, is there any food left? Give me a catty too!"

Song Tan was taken aback, and then directed his younger brother: "Qiao Qiao, go to the car and get a bundle."

He smiled and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you at the vegetable stand next to you these days—the vegetables are all sold out today, but I'm going to give some to my relatives, so I'll take out a catty."

The vegetable seller's face looked good, he waved his hand, and smiled: "The market is not mine, and we sell different things, so what does it matter? You have to charge money for this dish, and you don't charge money." I do not want……"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Qiao puffed up his chest and showed the whole QR code on the sweater.

Vegetable vendor: ...

He looked at the smiling little girl again, had no choice but to scan the QR code to pay, and turned his head sullenly while carrying the vegetables.

Song Tan took out five yuan familiarly: "Hey, go buy your Peppa stickers!"

...

There were stickers on Qiaoqiao's cheeks and clothes, and he happily followed Song Tan with a basket in his hand, watching new things all the way:

"Sister, their building is so tall!"

"What is this for?"

"There are flowers!"

"Where is uncle?"

Song Tan looked at his carefree expression, and his expression was soft: "It's coming soon, did you see that, the shop with the blue sign in front—does Qiao Qiao read? Read it?"

Qiao Qiao looked at her hand, and began to snap his fingers with difficulty at this moment: "Big, big...um, five, gold...um..."

He turned his head and looked at Song Tan with Qing Lingling's eyes: "I've finished reading."

Song Tan sighed - in this state, Qiao Qiao can understand, count, recognize money, and occasionally check the time. He is obedient and sensible, and easy to coax, never crying at will.

But if you really want to talk about it systematically, he is really like a kindergarten kid, he can't read all the words, travel is a problem, and there is no way for him to go to school in the city alone...

I have to think of other ways to go back.

But as soon as this thought passed in her mind, a smile appeared on her face: "Qiao Qiao is amazing! That's - Dafang Hardware Store! Our uncle's name is Song Dafang, remember?"

Uncle Song took his wife to work on construction sites in the urban area twenty years ago, and later met some people and saved some money. So he set up a store in the construction market, and relying on this store, he saved a lot of money for his family.

Do this for twenty years.

Although the market has not been very good in the past two years, his children have grown up and there is no such pressure, so life is more comfortable than in previous years.

Song Tan recalled the past, and vaguely remembered that his aunt loved gold, and when she returned to her hometown in the early years, there were gold jewelry everywhere on her body.

Because of this, everyone in the village said that the uncle became rich, until one day the uncle took everyone to a jewelry store.

"Bring a few fifty-cent coins, give me some wages, and you can make a bracelet! It's the same as the gold one, bright yellow, and strong!"

Song Tan only knew it when he grew up—destroying RMB, breaking the law...

But at this moment, these past events flashed in her memory like a revolving lantern, which made her recall the feeling before.

And Qiao Qiao nodded obediently: "Remember, uncle is called the hardware store!"

Song Tan: Pfft!

"You can just call uncle, don't yell."

Everyone is shouting for more (secretly happy)... this is one more (biubiubiu love biubiubiu!)

Gone, really gone. Only this one time.

There will be no more updates tomorrow.

No further reminders will be added in the future.
