After crossing over, it's hard

The next day was slightly bright, Li Ran and Ji Nan woke up softly, locked Xiao Yuan who was still sleeping at home, and the two went to pick vegetables in the field.The vegetables in the field were growing very well, and a load of vegetables was picked very quickly. Li Ran asked Ji Nan to take home the load of vegetables first, and continued picking in the field by himself.I picked two loads, about 200 catties, and didn't pick any more.Today was the first time I went shopping for vegetables, and Li Ran didn't pick much, thinking about taking them to Pingyang Town to test the water first.Li Ran didn't pick the chili peppers, mainly because he was afraid that people here would not be used to eating them, but Li Ran only picked a dozen or so red fruits, thinking about testing the water in the town to see if people in Pingyang Town would buy them.

After picking the vegetables, Li Ran rushed home, cooked the meal quickly, and woke up Xiao Yuan. After the family of three finished eating, Li Ran sent Xiao Yuan to Grandma Li's house and asked him to help take care of her.I'm going to be busy shopping for vegetables today, and I'm sure I'll be in a hurry by then. Li Ran is afraid that she won't be able to take good care of Xiaoyuan, and if something happens to her, she will regret it.

The two drove their family's ox cart to Pingyang Town.After entering the gate of the town, the two drove an ox cart and went straight to the vegetable market on West Street.There are quite a lot of people in West Street, but they are all selling vegetables and setting up stalls. Some of them have just arrived like Li Ran and Ji Nan, while others are earlier than Li Ran and theirs and are already unloading.Li Ran and Ji Nan found a stall, they moved the vegetables from the ox cart, carefully arranged them, and took down two small benches and a bucket, Li Ran asked Ji Nan to look at the stall, He went to deposit the ox cart in a storage place not far from the vegetable market.

After posting the ox cart, Li Ran took the bucket he brought from home to the surrounding people to pick up a bucket of water in case it was needed.This vegetable market is said to be a vegetable market, but in fact it is just a stall where people buy vegetables on both sides of a street. It is not like the modern vegetable market in the previous life, where a special place was built for the vegetable market.There are stalls on both sides of the street, you can buy everything, meat stalls, chicken, duck, fish, etc., but there are no fresh vegetables like Li Ran, and there are not even vegetable farmers who specialize in buying vegetables for a living. Li Ran's vegetables It is planted early and grows faster than others.It's still early, and the people in the town haven't come out to buy vegetables yet.Li Ran and Ji Nan waited quietly while cleaning up the vegetables. Today's picking time was a bit rushed, and there was no time to organize them carefully.

Until around eight o'clock in the morning, the town's arresters came to collect the money. The vegetable market in this town is under the government's control, and if you want to set up a stall, you have to pay ten big bucks.There were three arresters, and their attitude was not bad. Li Ran paid ten big bucks, and washed two green, crisp and tender cucumbers for each of them.They were obviously used to taking cucumbers, so they took cucumbers naturally and walked towards the next booth.

Slowly, people in the town came out to buy vegetables. They were all surprised when they saw Li Ran's vegetable stall. There were fresh vegetables at this time. Many people came to ask how the vegetables were sold, but Li Ran's The price that Dye said was frightened away.Li Ran's vegetables are more expensive than usual. Vegetables like cucumbers and cabbage are usually worth two to three yuan a catty. If the vegetable farmers come early to sell them, they will be more expensive by one or two yuan. money.But Li Ran's dishes, such as cucumbers, cost eight cents a catty.

A well-dressed grandma fiddled with Li Ran's dishes and asked, "Why is this dish so expensive? This meat is only [-] yuan a catty. Although your dish was on the market earlier, you can buy it." It’s almost as expensive as half a catty of meat, and vegetable sellers are not so expensive, isn’t this cheating us?”

Li Ran was not angry when he heard what this grandma said, and he always smiled and said: "My dish is different from others'. It is very fresh and juicy. The taste is very good. Although it is more expensive than ordinary ones, it is delicious. It’s very good for your body and good for your health. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.” Li Ran washed a cucumber in the bucket, broke it in half, and handed it to the grandmother. He took a small cabbage, broke off a small piece, washed it in a bucket, broke it off, handed half to Grandma, and ate the other half by himself.

This grandma took a mouthful of cucumber suspiciously, her eyes lit up, and she ate faster. After eating the cucumber quickly, she took another bite of the clapper of the cabbage, which was also very crisp and sweet.Li Ran knew the result by watching this person's movements and eyes. He asked the grandma, "How about it, grandma, I didn't lie to you. Is it delicious? It's different from other people's." The owner also asked the grandma: "How is it, is it okay?"

Grandma nodded again and again, and said: "It is indeed much more delicious than other vegetable farmers' dishes. This cucumber is crispy, sweet, and juicy. My brother really did not lie. The price is really worth it. Give me ten catties of this cucumber. Others Each dish here comes three catties." Li Ran waved his hand and asked Li Ran to weigh the dishes for him.

Li Ran quickly weighed the food that the grandma asked for, and it was quite enough, and Li Ran also added some more.The person watching from the side asked Grandma: "Is it really that delicious?"

Grandma took the food that Li Ran handed over, thanked Li Ran for the extra food, and said to the people watching: "It's really delicious, buy it quickly, or you won't be able to buy it if it's too late. Don’t regret it when the time comes.” With the leadership of this grandma, everyone started to buy, two catties for you, three catties for me, five catties for him, and ten catties for him. Only a dozen or twenty catties were left for sale.

In fact, this also makes sense. The living standard of the people in the town is good, and the prices of these dishes are also within their acceptable range. At the beginning, it was the first time that they encountered such expensive dishes. Grandma confirmed that this dish is really worth the price. Of course, everyone has to rush to buy it. There are only so many dishes, and they will not be available when it is too late.If there is no fresh vegetables to eat in winter, who would not want to try new ones.

After the rush hour for grocery shopping passed, Li Ran and Ji Nan packed up the money they just sold. Seeing so much money, they couldn't even close their mouths.Ji Xi brought people from the back kitchen of the restaurant to the vegetable market to buy, and saw Li Ran and Ji Nan from afar, came over and shouted to the two who were still immersed in the joy of making money: "Xiao Ran, Ji Nan, you two What is this for, to sell vegetables?"

When Li Ran heard someone calling him, he looked up and saw Ji Xi standing in front of their stall, stood up with a smile and said, "So it's Uncle Ji Xi, I'm here to sell some vegetables. Ji Nanzhong and I I planted two acres of vegetables earlier, and now I pick them up and sell them in the town. There are still some left over, so Uncle Ji Xi, you can eat them fresh."

Ji Xi hastily declined and said: "This is not possible. It is not easy for you to grow some vegetables and sell them. How can I eat your vegetables." He said that he wanted money.

Li Ran hastily stopped him and said, "Come on, it's just the vegetables grown at home, it's not worth anything, isn't it a joke for you to pay for it! Besides, the prey that Ji Nan hunted in the past were all introduced by you to sell to restaurants. I also want to thank you for taking care of Ji Nan all these years, how can I ask for your money for such a small dish." Li Ran packed up the rest of the dishes and gave them to Ji Xi to take away.

This is on the street, and the two of them couldn't refuse too much, so Ji Xi had to accept the dish Li Ran handed over and said: "I have the cheek to accept this dish today, and I will take someone to the restaurant I won’t talk to you more about shopping, and if you have anything to do, go to Huibin Restaurant to find me.”

"Uncle Ji Xi, if you have something to do, go first. We sold out the vegetables, so we went to buy some things and then went back." Li Ran replied.

The vegetables were sold out, and there were only two small benches and a bucket left. It was still early, and Li Ran led Ji Nan to the pork stall first, and cut four catties of fat and thin meat, and a piece of pork ribs.Speaking of which, pork ribs here are cheaper than pork, and the meat costs [-] yuan a catty, but this pork ribs only costs [-] yuan a catty, but the meat on it is picked too clean, it is really clean Only the ribs were left.

Li Ran talked to the butcher who sold the butcher, and told him to leave some meat for the ribs, and he would add an extra three pennies a catty.The butcher was very happy and agreed that the ribs were all bones and there was no meat on them. Usually, no one would buy them. Only those poor people who couldn’t afford meat would buy them and cook them. After eating meat, some people buy it now, and they pay an extra three pennies. They just leave some meat on it, but they are sold anyway, and they can make some money.The butcher quickly weighed the pork ribs for Li Ran, and also gave Li Ran another bone.

After buying the meat, Li Ran went to buy some pastries, candied fruit and other snacks for Xiaoyuan.Then I went to Buzhuang to buy two sets of clothes that I can wear now. Since the first time I came to Pingyang Town to buy clothes, I haven’t bought clothes in this period of time. Now that the weather is hot, I have to buy two sets of light clothes, and Li Ran was also thinking about buying two sets of clothes for Ji Nan's master, the old hunter.

Since the vegetables were selling fast, it was still very early when they returned home after shopping.Li Ran's two-acre field of growing vegetables was on their way home. Li Ran and Ji Nan drove home in an ox cart, and saw three people picking vegetables in their vegetable field from afar.Driving the bullock cart to the side of the field quickly, Li Ran saw that the three people in the field turned out to be the two sons-in-law of Jinhua whom he hadn't seen for a long time and a husband whom he didn't know.

Li Ran and Ji Nan jumped out of the car, walked quickly towards the vegetable field, and shouted: "You vegetable thieves, stop me." , Broken branches, that Li Qing was still pulling up the vegetable plants, Li Ranqi's eyes were red.Squeezing Li Qing's arm vigorously and throwing him out of their vegetable field, Jinan also threw Jin Hua and the other out of their vegetable field with one hand and threw them on the ground.

Jin Hua and Feng Xiaohua were thrown on the ground by Ji Nan, and they were all stunned. They were a little guilty when they were caught stealing food, but Ji Nan treated him like this. Li Qing, who was thrown on the ground by Li Ran, was Howling.Jin Hua quickly got up from the ground, helped Li Qing up, pointed at Li Ran, and said, "Li Ran, what are you doing out of fun, you dare to hit me? Let me tell you, you hurt us today, and you won't pay for the medical expenses." , I will not let you go."

Li Ran was really pissed off. The thief even threatened him and asked him to pay for the medical bills himself, which is really funny. "Medical expenses? Today, you vegetable thieves, don't even think about leaving. Let's go to the town government to see how many years the thief will be sentenced. Hmph."

Hearing that Li Ran said that he was going to report to the police, Jin Hua was a little scared, but immediately yelled loudly: "You bastard, black heart, what nonsense you say, who is a thief, I will raise you up , for you to eat and wear, and also to accompany you with a dowry of five acres of land, what happened to picking some vegetables for you, how dare you go to the government to sue me, I think you dare."

"Hmph, let's see if I dare." Li Ran said that he was going to grab Jin Hua and the three of them to help them into the ox cart.The three of Jin Hua struggled fiercely.Almost everyone nearby heard the quarrel and came out to watch the fun.

Zhang Guihua looked at several people, stood beside Li Ran, and asked, "Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ran told the story again, Zhang Guihua had a straight temper, and after hearing Li Ran's words, she was also very angry, pointing at the three of them and said: "You two are shameless, even doing such things as thieves, and what The face said that it was just picking some vegetables, look at how the vegetable fields have been harmed by you." Zhang Guihua pointed at the vegetable fields and scolded Jinhua and Feng Xiaohua.What a shameless person.

Jin Hua was pointed and scolded by Zhang Osmanthus like this, and the people watching the excitement were also talking about it. Although Jin Hua was thick-skinned and shameless, she was anxious, and pointed at Zhang Osmanthus and scolded: "Zhang Osmanthus, don't meddle in your own business with rats! , I pick vegetables from my nephew’s house, it’s none of your business, I raised him up with good food and drink, found him a husband’s house, and gave him a dowry of five acres of land. Now their family’s vegetables can be eaten in advance, Is it too much for me to pick some vegetables to eat?"

"Huh, you're really ashamed to say, delicious food and drink? Five acres of land with you? You treat us as blind, usurping the wealth left by other people's parents, abusing other people's children, using five acres of sandy land Exchange the dry land for someone’s [-] mu of good land. If you sit down to such shameless and immoral things, you are not afraid that other people’s parents will come to you at night. Let’s take a look at this vegetable field again. Is this picking some vegetables? Bring the vegetables from other people's fields home." Zhang Guihua is not easy to mess with.After Zhang Guihua finished speaking, she said to Li Ran: "Xiaoran, you must not tolerate them this time, you must teach them a good lesson." Zhang Guihua told his son to call Li Zheng to uphold justice.

Of course, Li Ran will not let Jin Hua and the three of them go. First, Jin Hua's behavior really disgusted him. Second, Li Ran thought that they would buy vegetables to make money. With such high prices, some people would definitely be jealous. Li Ran Ran just wanted to take advantage of Jinhua's incident to suppress the situation and tell everyone that Li Ran is not easy to mess with.

Lizheng arrived soon, and on the way, he had already understood the matter clearly.Li Zhengqi's face was darkened, and it was these two troublemakers who were inconvenient again.Seeing Li Zheng coming, Li Ran immediately said, "Uncle Li Zheng is here, let's go to the government."

Lizheng stopped him immediately after hearing this, if rumors of thieves stealing vegetables spread in this village, it would be bad for their village's reputation, and he would be laughed at if he walked out of Lizheng in the future, so Lizheng hurriedly said: "Xiaoran, look at it For the sake of their first offense, you forgive them this time. Ask them to pay you some money, forget it, don’t go to this government. After all, such a disgraceful thing happened in the village, and one of them is your uncle Ah, as a member of Jijia Village, it won’t look good if you go out in the future

is not it? "

Although Jin Hua was still stubborn, seeing Li Ran's expression as if she was really going to report to the police, she was really a little scared. If they reported to the police, they would go to jail.Feng Xiaohua was so frightened that she wanted to cry. He knew that Grandma Li had a good relationship with Li Ran's family, so she grabbed Grandma Li's hand and cried, "Mum, please help me, you and Li Ran have a good relationship." , you go and tell him, I really don’t want to steal vegetables, you go and tell him, he will definitely listen, I can’t go to jail, or your grandson won’t have a mother, grandma! ”

Grandma Li withdrew her hand from Feng Xiaohua's hand, and said in a cold voice, "My grandson is only a dog, and my son and husband-in-law have passed away a long time ago. Don't make mistakes here." You have become a thief , He even wants to help intercede by himself, he is shameless, but he still has face.Besides, when I did such a heartless thing back then, I was ashamed to ask myself.

Li Ran's face was sullen, and he glanced at the expressions of the people around him. Li Ran really wanted to send those annoying people like Jin Hua to prison, but Li Ran knew it in his heart.Because of what Jin Hua has done to herself and today's thieves, everyone will stand by him, a weak person, but if he insists on Jin Hua today, everyone will think that Li Ran is not close to him. Humanity, after all, in everyone's opinion, even though Jin Hua has been abused, he is his elder. If he insists on sending Jin Hua to prison today, then he will become the leader of all criticism.Li Ran didn't want to be the top target, so Jin Hua and the others couldn't be sent to jail today.
