Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 224
The first wave of customers was a young couple with a seven or eight-year-old boy. The child pointed to the fist-sized red pomegranate and shouted excitedly: "Mom, mom, I like pomegranates! These pomegranates are really big. Bigger than pomegranates I've seen before!"

When people from the city come to the countryside to travel, they feel superior to some extent. Seeing that their son likes it, the mother asks, "My little friend, how do you sell this pomegranate?"

"My uncle said that everything here is ten yuan a catty." Tongtong lowered his head with some guilt, and quoted a price to face his first wave of customers.

"What? Ten yuan a catty? It's more expensive than a supermarket! This kid has learned how to rip off customers at such a young age! Let's go and buy from other houses. If we have money, we'll throw it into the river, and we won't give it to these black-hearted little liars. "The young mother said, pulling the child and walking forward angrily.

The child's father was in a relatively stable mood, and said a little dissatisfied: "My child, the pomegranates in the supermarket are only seven or eight yuan a catty, while the pomegranates in the town only sell for five yuan. You sell ten yuan, but no one wants to buy it. Forget it, the difference is not that big, could it be that such a small garden watermelon also sells for ten yuan a catty?"

Tongtong blushed, pouted and said, "My uncle said that the vegetables and fruits in our family are delicious and of high quality, which is why they are so expensive. Besides, fruits and watermelons usually sell for one hundred pounds. Today we set up a stall to play, and uncle agreed to lower the price."

"What? Usually one hundred and one catty? Do you think we are fools?" The child's father was not calm anymore, he asked sharply, turned his head and left.

But when I walked to Maomao's booth, out of curiosity, I also asked about the price, but the answer I got was similar, except that "uncle" was changed to "uncle".

After the wave of customers left, the two children looked at each other, and saw guilt and anxiety in each other's eyes.

The second wave of customers consisted of two men and two women, four elderly people, with unusual clothes and temperament, white-haired and young-looking, well-maintained, with either a professional camera or a light camera phone in their hands, and they were very playful.

"Hehe, little baby, what do you sell? Is it delicious?" A kind old woman bent over and stood in front of Tongtong's booth, asking amusedly.

"Grandma, hello, everything here is for sale, but the price is very expensive." Tongtong calmed down, raised her head, and replied very politely.

When the old woman heard this, she became even more curious, and asked with a smile, "Oh? What's so expensive? Could it be that ordinary vegetables and fruits can be sold for gold?"

"My uncle asked me to sell it like this, and said that the price is too low, so we are not allowed to set up a stall. These and these are all sold for ten yuan a catty." Tongtong pointed at the vegetable and fruit sections, and introduced the price again helplessly. .

"Yeah, ten yuan a catty is really not cheap. Your uncle must be a greedy ghost." The old lady pretended to be surprised, not like the young couple just now who spoke sarcastically.

"My uncle is not a greedy ghost. My uncle is usually fine." When Tongtong heard that Li Qingyun was not good, he immediately got angry and said, "I can give you a little taste if you think it's too expensive, but if you say Uncle is not good, I am not happy."

As Tongtong said, he took out a few fresh small red dates from his small pocket, which were also produced by the mixed fruit forest behind the hillside. The dates were small, thin and long, like a thumb, with two pointed ends.

The three elderly people next to them were smiling. Seeing Tongtong's cute expression, they took the opportunity to take a few photos of her. Seeing her stretching out her hand to give them a few fresh red dates, they immediately accepted it with a smile.

But after putting a handful of dates into their mouths and chewing them twice, the old people were amazed. They had never eaten such delicious dates in their entire lives.The taste is sweet, the core is small and the meat is rich, no matter how delicious it is to chew, it is reluctant to swallow it, but there is a suction in the throat, unconsciously, a red date is swallowed, leaving only a date core in the mouth, exuding The unique fragrance is reluctant to spit it out.

"Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious. Little baby, do you still have this kind of red dates? Ten yuan a catty, right? We bought them all." An old grandfather said excitedly.

"That's right, if I knew that I could eat such delicious red dates in this mountain village, I would have come here from Xiaotangshan. Kid, what about dates? Do other fruits taste equally delicious?"

A few old people chatted in a hurry, and their enthusiasm for fruits almost frightened Tongtong.

After finally waiting for the old people to calm down, Tongtong said with guilt and apology: "Grandpa and grandma, I am really sorry, these red dates were picked too little today, it was picked by the uncle station for us to eat, not enough to sell. Otherwise, I'll give you all the dates in my pocket."

After finishing speaking, Tongtong pitifully took out more than 20 red or green dates from two pockets, held them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to several old people.

The old people were really embarrassed to grab the children's snacks, but the dates they tasted just now were so delicious that they couldn't bear it, so they took the dates from Tongtong's hand, and thought in their hearts, no matter how hard other fruits are To eat, I have to buy some, to comfort the kind little girl.

So each old man picked up an apple, a pomegranate, a small watermelon, a mountain persimmon, a big pear, an orange... He put each kind of fruit from the mixed fruit forest into a convenient bag by himself, so as to save Tired little doll.Some people think that the small watermelon is too heavy, so they picked all the others, and only the small watermelon was left out.

"Okay, we still have to go shopping around, so we can't buy too much. Since your fruits are all at the same price, let's pick one of each. Baby, help us weigh the weight and calculate the money." Said the old man.

"Weighing, right? I will do this. My uncle taught me just now." Seeing that these kind old people really bought their own "high-priced" fruits, Tongtong immediately blushed with excitement, and carefully put the fruit in the convenience bag. fruit on a tray,

Pallet scales use kilograms as the unit, but in rural areas, they are all adjusted pallet scales, which have become the unit of catties, and the pointer points to a few catties, so there is no need to multiply by two to convert kilograms into catties.

"Grandma, you added watermelon, it's a bit heavy, and the total is eight catties and six taels. Let's count the odds, and the total is 80 yuan." Tongtong pointed to the pointer on the pallet scale and said seriously.

The old woman smiled and said, "Haha, the little girl is so generous, thank you. You weigh it first, and after we weigh it, we all pay together."

The next step is simple, there are two more than six catties, one more than five catties, and all the extra fractions are omitted.In fact, Tongtong can't count the odds, so he decides on his own to erase the odds.

But how could these elderly people make the children suffer, and the last four people calculated to share 250 yuan. The old man said that the number was not good, so he made up a round number and gave Tongtong [-] yuan to prevent her from looking for it.

After all, Tongtong was still a child. Seeing that the old man paid the money sincerely, he held up three red banknotes and yelled excitedly, and even showed off to Mao Mao, who was jealous beside him: "Maomao, look, I finally sold it!" , It was sold for 300 yuan in one fell swoop, I have never taken so much money! Haha, I am sure to win today, but don’t be sad, at worst, I will return you two lollipops.”

"Hmph, I don't want you! This is just the beginning, and I won't give up easily." Mao Mao waved her small fist angrily, deliberately not looking at Tong Tong.

The four old people walked away with a smile, each carrying a few kilograms of fruit, without any difficulty at all.While walking, he said that he was planning to go to a place with beautiful scenery, and he would come down to eat some fruit and take a rest by the way.

After that, the business fell into a flat again. When the customers heard that the price of her fruit was ten yuan a catty, they would turn their heads and leave, and some even had a bad temper and cursed in a low voice.Because in the local area, ordinary apples only cost more than two yuan per catty, and fruits with poor circulation like persimmons only sell for one yuan per catty.

It was past ten o'clock at this time, and Yu Jun, the boss of Chuanfu Yuwang, and a slightly fat old man in his 60s had combed back hair, but the hair on his head was rather sparse.The two of them were walking along the road, pointing at the surrounding scenery, talking and laughing while walking, both of them seemed to be in a good mood.There were two cars behind, very quiet, not daring to notice any noise.

"We sell fruit, fragrant and sweet fruit. All fruits cost ten yuan a catty. They are guaranteed to be delicious. If they are not good, you don't need money." , yelled.

The slightly chubby old man put his hands behind his back and said with a very imposing smile: "Xiao Yu, you said that the folk customs in this mountain are simple, but I don't think so. Look, such a big little doll is only at the age of kindergarten. It’s a lie. I know the fruit prices here very well. What kind of fruit can be sold for ten yuan a catty? The mangoes and pomegranates in the town only sell for six or seven yuan a catty.”

Yu Jun looked at the vegetables and fruits in front of the two children, and said with a very mysterious smile: "Uncle Lu, I want to make a bet with you. The bet is very simple. After you taste the fruits sold by this child, I guarantee you will feel This price is great value. If you win, I will give you ten free coupons for Chuanfu Yuwang. If you lose, give us Chuanfu Yuwang a new signboard."

"Haha, you kid, you seem to be very confident." The old man surnamed Lu chatted happily with Yu Jun, and he didn't care about the bet, and said with a smile, "I can't lose my momentum, so I bet with you. "

Because there were more fruits piled in front of Maomao, the two of them went to Maomao's stall.

"Little friend, how about giving Grandpa an orange?" Although the old man surnamed Lu made himself smile very kindly, but his aura was too fierce, and it put a lot of pressure on Mao Mao.

"Okay, okay...but if you taste it, you have to buy it. I've been displaying it all morning, and it hasn't opened yet." Maomao complained dissatisfiedly, and picked a big yellow orange and handed it to the old man.

"Hehe, you brat, how could grandpa eat your oranges for free?" The old man surnamed Lu said, peeling off the orange peel, taking out a piece of orange, and putting it into his mouth.

 The Jianghu part is just an adjustment, and it takes up a very small proportion of the page. You can see the clues in the introduction part of the page. It is impossible to have no plot in the book, and it is impossible to reverse the priority.I will carefully arrange the direction of the plot... Finally, continue to ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets...
