One of the uncles was an old acquaintance who had traded with Xia Ran before. Seeing Xia Ran, he asked happily: "Girl, are the melons you brought back last time selling well?"

This is treating me like a middleman. Xia Ran followed up and said, "Uncle, they are easy to sell, but I didn't make much money. I distributed them to my acquaintances in the village, and I had a few free watermelons left for myself."

"That's fine, it's better than going there for nothing."

Xia Ran nodded: "That's right."

The uncle asked back: "Still the same place?"

"Yes, uncle."

Weighing, carrying, unloading, paying, and packing up were all done in one go. After leaving the market, I bought a lot of steamed buns and cakes. I have bought from the same shop several times, and they are all old acquaintances.

As soon as Xia Ran went over, someone teased her: "A great customer has arrived. We warmly welcome him and make my humble place shine. No wonder the magpies were chirping non-stop this morning. Big sister, are you going to buy everything?"

Xia Ran was also very polite and flattering: "I'll take care of it, big brother. Your steamed buns and pancakes are so delicious and solid."

This elder brother had two long, flat front teeth, which looked very much like the rabbit in a cartoon that Xia Ran had seen in her memory. He was very recognizable, and when the elder brother heard this, he became visibly happy and proud.

"Big sister, you can tell what's good at first glance. I learned the craft of making steamed buns and pancakes from my grandfather. My family has been buying them for many years. We have old skills and the amount of water per pound of flour is fixed. Those who come here every day are regular customers."

When paying the bill at the end, the two steamed buns were not charged, saying they were extra for Xia Ran.

Xia Ran saw a few Yuan Datou coins in the box and asked directly: "Can you give me these Yuan Datou coins?"

"Why do I need this thing? It's easy to fall out of my pocket and it makes noises. It's not convenient at all. I hate it and coins the most. It's not as useful as bills."

"Then you can exchange it and the coins for me. When you receive them in the future, keep them for me. I will go to the city from time to time and come to you to get them, and buy some steamed buns and biscuits by the way."

"Okay."

There were even more 1 cent, 2 cent, and 5 cent coins, and Xia Ran exchanged them all. I was so obsessed with it, how could I have forgotten the small coins? They are also valuable.

"Big sister, why do you need so many things?"

Xia Ran lied without hesitation: "I collected them for a relative. He said he wanted to make them into some kind of shape and put them on the wall."

"Oh my goodness, what are you thinking of sticking it on the wall? Do you have too much money to burn? Aren't you afraid that it will be stolen?"

Xia Ran also complained seriously: "Who knows? We can't figure out what rich people think."

"Right."

Then he went to a famous roast chicken shop and bought all the remaining 21 roast chickens. He also asked the couple who owned the shop to help him deliver them to a dead corner at an intersection and put them into the space when no one was around.

The last stop was Sister Su's. When Sister Su saw Xia Ran arrived, she felt like her own sister.

Pointing to the customers who were eating cold noodles at the small table next to them, he said: "Wait, they are all sold out today. These are the last two. Wait until they finish eating, then we'll call it a day."

"Not urgent."

After the guests finished eating and quickly washed the two bowls, they rode slowly towards the eldest sister's house.

While walking and chatting: "Sister, you don't know, I recently used the chili powder my cousin brought from other places to make chili oil, which is very fragrant. Many old customers said that it is spicy and fragrant. It tastes much better than before, so, in the past few days, I have finished work earlier. Sister, how did you think of getting chili from outside?"

"A relative of mine said this. She has been to many places and has seen the world. She said that the same peppers taste different when grown in different places.

The peppers grown in those three places have their own characteristics and fragrances due to their special geographical environment. One is extremely spicy, one is fragrant but not spicy, and one is half spicy and half fragrant.”

"Hey, sister, you've hit the nail on the head. My cousin brought us a big bag of chili peppers from these three places. They're the extremely spicy kind, but luckily the quantity is the smallest. I tasted it, and it was so spicy that it killed me. It burned my heart and my butt.

The other two are more suitable for us. I made two kinds of chili oil and let people taste them. They are both good. Hey, in order to save money, I used to grow chili at home? In the past few days, I made 10 more bowls of cold noodles every day, and they were still sold out. How much money did I miss before? I feel sad when I think about it. Money that should not be saved cannot be saved. Thanks to you, sister..."

Sister Su seemed to have found a good tree hole, and kept sharing her joy with others. She didn't dare to tell others, for fear of arousing their jealousy, but she didn't have such concerns with Sister Xia.

I don't know why, but I feel that Xia Ran doesn't care about my little things, so I won't be jealous. After paying for the chili peppers, I gave my elder sister a reward for her hard work, but she refused to accept it.

"The first time I brought something, I accepted it without hesitation. We were not familiar with each other at that time. It's different now. I treat you like my own sister. Besides, you didn't hide anything from me. It's not good to mention money again."

"Big sister, how about this, you charge 5 yuan. It's free to pick up things from the bus, right?"

Sister Su said embarrassedly: "Hehe, it really didn't cost any money. My husband's cousin happened to take that road."

"Big sister, that's what I said. No matter how close the relationship is, you can't always ask for free help. Even if we buy them two packs of cigarettes, we can ask them for help next time when we need it. It will look better, right?"

"You're right. Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll buy him a few packs of cigarettes after I'm done."

"Okay, that's how relatives are, the more they get to know each other, the closer they become." In the end, the eldest sister accepted 2 yuan and refused to accept any more.

If time permits, she should go to this commodity wholesale base in person to take a look and buy more socks, bed sheets, and quilt covers to sell.

"Big sister, do you know of any yards for sale near you? It doesn't matter if it's habitable or not, the land is fine, somewhere near No. 1 or No. 2 Middle School. The closer to these two schools, the better. But you must have independent house ownership certificates and land certificates."

In the memory of the original body, in the future, these places will be renovated into shanty towns. A yard will be divided into several houses, and some families will directly lose more than ten or twenty houses.

Although it is a small county town and the housing prices cannot be compared with those in big cities, the volume is huge. When the housing prices were at their highest, she remembered that it was more than 7000 yuan per square meter.

Although it can't be compared with big cities, this place is not even a small city in the 18th tier, and the price is high enough. As long as you sell it at the peak, you will definitely make money.
