The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 157
Li Yuan: "It's not stupid, it's real."

"Buying couplets is actually a hard-earned money. Almost from childhood, the bosses who buy couplets will stand from morning to night."

"Look at the clothes they wear, they are the thickest ones in all the shops."

"It's not easy for anyone in the cold winter weather. One more customer is not too many, and one less is not too many. Everyone wants to sell their things early and go home to have a good year."

"So they don't think much. It's normal for customers to introduce each other."

Studio.

"This is called trading!"

"Healthy competition, is that what you mean?"

"Look at them, is this called doing business!"

"I love the atmosphere of doing business so much..."

"I used to have a stereotype of the countryside as being poor, poor, and uneducated, but since I met the anchor, my impression of the countryside has been completely overturned."

"Indeed, simple, loving life, this is what they are."

While everyone was talking, Li Yuan had already arrived at the shop where the boss said to buy couplets at the beginning.

"Boss, do you have any blank couplets?"

Li Yuan asked the boss, who heard the words, nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, there are, young man, there are several sizes, big, medium and small, which one do you want?"

Li Yuan: "One large and one small."

Boss: "Okay, the big one is twelve, the small one is five yuan, a total of seventeen."

Li Yuan took out the change from his pocket and handed it to the boss. After thanking him, he put the folded couplets in the basket with briquettes and continued to purchase.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, both sides of the market are almost all selling New Year's goods, but Li Yuan doesn't have to worry about running out of things he bought.

What bowls and chopsticks, melon seeds, lanterns, candies, everything is there.

Li Yuan walked towards the depths of the market, and there was a scent of fried melon seeds, and the nuts nestled in Lu Yuan's down jacket instantly exposed their heads, and looked around.

Obviously, the nuts are awakened by this aroma.

Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "You bastard, you're really a glutton."

But having said that, it's true that Li Yuan hasn't eaten fried melon seeds for a long time, especially when he smells the aroma, his mouth is a little greedy.

The seller of melon seeds is a couple.

The booth for two people is not big, only about six square meters.

Men are responsible for frying, women are responsible for selling, and the division of labor is clear.

In front of the shop of the two of them, there were several boxes filled with freshly fried melon seeds, still steaming, and beside each melon seed, the price was written.

Three catties and ten yuan.

Two catties and ten yuan.

The price is not expensive, and there are several varieties of melon seeds at each price, spiced, original, sweet and sour.

As soon as Li Yuan walked to the shop to pay money, the proprietress greeted enthusiastically: "Do you want melon seeds, young man? The freshly roasted ones are still hot!"

Li Yuan nodded and asked with a smile, "Boss, can I have a taste?"

The proprietress nodded: "Taste whatever you want, and take whichever you want."

After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to grab a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan thanked with a smile, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

What Li Yuan ate was ten yuan and two catties of melon seeds. The freshly fried melon seeds still had a burst of heat, and the taste was crisp and fragrant.

Afterwards, they tasted other flavors separately. Although they tasted good, Li Yuan still liked the original melon seeds that he ate first.

"Boss, help me weigh this 20 yuan first."

Boss: "Okay."

Taking advantage of the boss's weighing, Li Yuan put the melon seeds just now in front of Nut, and then asked Nut, "Which flavor do you like?"

When Nut heard this, he hurriedly tasted several flavors, and then pointed to the five-spice flavor.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Boss, bring me another catty of five-spice."

It's just that the proprietress who heard Li Yuan's words was staring at the briquette pointing to the spiced melon seeds in Li Yuan's arms with wide eyes at this time, her eyes were full of surprise.

"This little squirrel is so cute!"

"Can it understand what you say? Do you still like five-flavored food?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Well, this is my pet. It is probably the first time I have eaten five-flavored melon seeds. It is the Chinese New Year. Let it try something new."

While helping to weigh the melon seeds, the proprietress still didn't forget to ask her husband to come and see it in amazement.

"Look, old man, this little squirrel can understand words, and knows to ask for spiced melon seeds!"

When the boss heard this, he looked at Nut in disbelief. The surprised expressions of the couple were exactly the same.

"It's really a squirrel! This little guy is too cute!"

In the end, under the strong insistence of the boss and the proprietress, they gave away an extra catty of nuts and spiced melon seeds.But when Li Yuan was leaving, he didn't forget to ask Nut to thank him.

Li Yuan: "Nut, thank you sister."

After Nut heard this, he bowed to the boss and his wife as expected, which made the boss and the onlookers so cute.

Putting the melon seeds into the briquette basket of the boy carrying the bag again, Li Yuan's next target was the red lantern.

Li Yuan followed the market, walked a distance of tens of meters, and saw a shop selling red lanterns.

A row of red lanterns hung along the shop, some with blessing characters, some with auspicious words written on them, and some were pure red lanterns without any other decorations.

"Boss, how did you sell this lantern?"

The boss came over and introduced, "The big ones are 80 for a pair, and the small ones are 60. The patterned ones are a little more expensive. There are [-] pairs, and they all come with free light bulbs."

Lanterns in rural areas are usually hung on the gate or the door of the house. They are lifted up with tall poles and connected to light bulbs. When using them, they can be directly connected to the power supply.

Although this kind of lantern is not as gorgeous as the newly released colorful LED lanterns, it complements each other in a simple rural environment.

"It's so cheap!"

"This kind of big one is only 100 pairs?! It's too cheap, this one in the city costs 100 yuan, okay?!"

"It's really cheap, and the quality looks good."

"The most important thing is that the boss even gave away light bulbs, are you sure it can make money?"

"Every time I see the anchor go to the market, I have to sigh... the things sold in the village are affordable!"

"Of course, in the village, the city management fee of this kind of floor shop that is placed on the ground only costs a dozen yuan a day, and you don't have to pay any other fees. You earn what you pay for."

"7 yuan from our side..."

"I'll go, it's so cheap? I also want to go to the street stall..."

"You? Pull it back, although it's cheap, but this kind of suffering is not something everyone can bear."

Li Yuan's eyes fell on the hanging lanterns, and he scanned them one by one, and then his eyes were suddenly attracted by one of the old lanterns.
