porridge for two

I spent the New Year in Qingzhou in 09, and I wanted to go back to Qingnan for the New Year in 10.

After the winter vacation, Xie Xiuping and Su Zeyu stayed in Qingzhou for a few days before returning to Qingnan.

In my hometown, rushing to the market on the day of the Chinese New Year is called the meeting scene, also known as the New Year’s Fair.

He also said that there are thirty roads in thirty nights, which means that there are many things to do on New Year's Day.

Cleaning in front of and behind the house, killing chickens and fish for food, cutting hair, taking a shower, taking care of myself, and rushing to meet and buy New Year's goods, it was really busy.

On the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Xiuping's uncle told them to sell the duck eggs in their baskets early in the morning on New Year's Eve, and then buy whatever they wanted.

"Er Yan, how do you sell duck eggs?" Su Zeyu asked after hearing his uncle's words.

"It's only [-] yuan each! These ducks are fed with food, not those foreign eggs, foreign duck eggs, at least they can be sold for nine cents!

Of course, it also depends on the market. If others sell a lot, they will sell as much as they sell. If you can sell as much as you want, you will be counted! "

His uncle talked about the general situation in the market now.

"Okay! Then let's try to sell more money! Qingzhou, let's go to the supermarket to buy eggs and weigh them. Should we bring the scale?"

Su Zeyu recalled how the eggs were measured when he went to buy eggs in Qingzhou's supermarket.

"You don't need to bring it! Either count according to the individual or according to the bag!" His uncle said.

"Bag? Is it the same amount as a piece? Usually, a piece is 12?" Su Zeyu looked at Xie Xiuping and asked.

"A pack of 10."

"Oh! Then what shall we buy tomorrow and ask An Zi to go with us?"

Su Zeyu and Xie Xiuping discussed it.

"I'm not with you. I'll just walk!"

An Zi who was watching TV at the side said hurriedly when he heard his name.

"Anzi must be on his way to the meeting! But he'll come later, we'll go first!

As for what to buy, let’s talk about it tomorrow. In the past two years, if you don’t need to post couplets, you don’t need to buy paper for writing couplets.

Cigarettes, do you want to sell uncut paper? "

Xie Xiuping was talking to Su Zeyu, and then asked his uncle what came to his mind.

"We all want to eat! You can buy whatever you want! We will buy the rest!"

……

Early the next morning, the genius Ma Maliang rode the second-hand motorcycle bought by his uncle, trembling to the racecourse.

The winter morning wind blows harshly, and the dirt road is bumpy.

Xie Xiuping was driving, wearing a mask and a jacket on the front, just like a baby's hemp crutches, to block the oncoming wind;

Su Zeyu wrapped his face and ears tightly with a scarf, and tightly held a basket containing two hundred duck eggs with his gloved hands.

At this time, Su Zeyu knew why Anzi didn't want to be with them anymore, it was too fucking cold, and there was no room for anyone to sit with a basket in his arms.

After four to five 10 minutes of ups and downs, the two finally came to the farm trade area of ​​the racecourse.

Xie Xiuping stopped, stepped on the brakes, and let Su Zeyu get off first.

Su Zeyu only felt that his legs were no longer his own. They were numb, one was numb from cold, and the other was numb from shaking.

The advantage of having long hands and long legs is that he didn't have to get out of the car, and he put the egg bag on the ground safely.

After putting away the basket, he rubbed his legs, then went down, walked up to Xie Xiuping, saw a layer of hoarfrost on Xie Xiuping's eyebrows, and reached out his hand to brush it off carefully.

"What do you feel?"

Su Zeyu saw that Xie Xiuping was wearing a mask and a hat, looking silly and cute, so he asked.

"My feet are numb! I'm cold! If I didn't wear a mask, my nose would be cold! My ears are cold, but I can't wear earmuffs, for fear that I won't be able to hear the sound."

As Xie Xiuping said, he took off one side of the mask.

"I feel like the egg is broken! I feel like throwing up shaking!"

"what?"

Xie Xiuping rubbed her leg, not understanding what Su Zeyu said.

"This way, shaking! The duck egg is going to be broken! I am going to be broken too! Fortunately, I am not sticky to glass."

"Don't worry! There is a layer of grass on the outside, and old rice bran is placed inside, it can't be broken! You can't be broken either!"

He looked at the gradually increasing number of people around him, and said to Su Zeyu:

"The location here is not bad, let's put it here! You are here, I will find a place to park!"

Xie Xiuping said and rode away on his bicycle.

In rural areas, people rush to the early market, especially the meeting market. People come early in the morning to buy what they need, and then go back to do other things, so they have to be early to sell things.

Su Zeyu spread a white plastic bag on the ground, which is moisture-proof and waterproof, and spread a layer of yellow-brown grass mat on the bag.

He carefully took out the eggs in the basket one by one, and carefully placed them on the straw mat.

Xie Xiuping didn't say when he would come back, Su Zeyu saw more and more people rushing to the scene, speaking the national language he didn't understand, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and push forward.

Where did he sell anything, the only time was when he set up a stall on the overpass on Christmas Eve.

At that time, roses were priced according to the number of flowers, and apples were priced differently according to the size and packaging.

So he also divided the duck eggs into grades and grades according to that idea.

In fact, he doesn't know which one is good and which one is bad, he just sorts them by color and size.

"Green shell duck eggs, big ones! Gray shell duck eggs, small ones!

Rake shelled duck eggs, big ones!Ordinary white duck eggs, small!

White duck egg, big one, hey, this one has a crack..."

Su Zeyu was alone like a lunatic, muttering in his mouth, sorting the duck eggs one by one, and he also picked off the duck feathers and grass clippings on the eggshells.

"Selling eggs! Selling duck eggs! Feed them at home, take a look..."

In Su Zeyu's ears, the shouts of other egg sellers could be heard from time to time.

Regardless of the sound of hawking, yelling, and bargaining in the market, Su Zeyu concentrated on his classification work.

As everyone knows, the older sisters who set up a stall next to him are looking at him like crazy.

These elder sisters all feed chickens and ducks at home, and they have accumulated some eggs in their homes when they catch a game every six days, and they will come to set up a stall every time there is a game.

There are also some chickens and ducks fed at home that lay more eggs, and they also go to other farms.

They can be regarded as people who have seen the world in the local area, but they have never seen such a stupid person!

If the big one is kicked out, how can the small one be sold?

Those who bought eggs thought you were fake eggs after removing duck feathers and grass clippings?

Color classification is even more unnecessary!

"How do you sell this egg?"

An older lady in a red padded coat passed by Su Zeyu's stall, looking at the white-shelled duck eggs and green-shelled duck eggs, sorted by color and size, neatly placed on the straw mat.

There are a few duck eggs with gray shells beside them, and two duck eggs are placed on the edge of the straw mat.

The egg shell is clean, and it looks like a real lover.

"One piece and three!"

Su Zeyu looked at the big white duck egg pointed by the elder sister and asked, so he quoted a price.

He just heard someone from the stall next to him ask the price of the duck eggs. Some said it was one yuan and two, while others said it was one yuan and three.

"It looks very cute, I will go shopping again!"

The eldest sister left after talking, walking all the way, and asked the price of eggs and duck eggs when she saw something suitable.

Within a few minutes, the eldest sister in the red padded coat came back from shopping again.

The so-called shopping around, she shopped from beginning to end, and she knew what the eggs on the stall looked like today.

She stopped at the stall next to Su Zeyu, and they were bargaining with the egg seller.

"One piece and two, you pick them next to each other!"

"I'll give you one yuan and three, and I'll pick it up! I want a lot more!"

"That's definitely not possible, you choose the big one, who will I sell the little one to!"

When the eldest sister in the red cotton coat was talking to the egg seller, she secretly watched Su Zeyu's actions.

She saw Su Zeyu take out a white duck egg with a duck's down on it, and carefully picked it off before putting it on the straw mat.

He took another one out of the basket, carefully picked up the grass stains on the eggshell, and then put it on the grass mat.

In fact, she was looking at the duck eggs at Su Zeyu's booth.

But she looked at a young man who looked upright, dressed like a chenchentoutou, and his dirty hands didn't look like a rural child who often worked;

The duck egg looked at ease, and I was afraid that I would buy a fake one.

Now that I saw Su Zeyu's actions, I realized that the clean duck eggs were selected.

She almost misunderstood!

It's really a matter of this event, many foreign businesses are always mixing fakes with real ones, which makes everyone a little scared.

It's just that the child's actions are probably a fool, right?

Now that she has made up her mind, she doesn't bother to argue with that woman again.

She went straight to Su Zeyu's stall, picked up two duck eggs, looked and looked, touched and touched, and when she was about to shake them, Su Zeyu stopped her.

"Eh!"

Su Zeyu was originally sitting on the steps covered with sacks, earnestly carrying out his great business of picking eggs, but he didn't care if he looked at the woman or touched her.

He didn't know how to choose, and the guests knew it; but when he saw the woman was about to shake, he immediately stood up and stopped it loudly.

"Hehe! It's okay, if it breaks, it's mine!"

Seeing his nervousness, the elder sister couldn't help laughing, and asked, "How much is this little one?"

"One piece two!"

"Okay! The big one is one yuan and three, the small one is one yuan and two, help me get some.

Hmm... Take fifty of the big green and white shells, and twenty of the small green and white shells.

You have chosen all these, and I will save trouble when I return to Ke. "

After finishing speaking, the eldest sister looked at the three white-shelled eggs on the far side, and asked, "What's wrong with these eggs?"

"This is a rake shell! These two egg shells have a little crack!"

"Oh! Swollen, besides those, sell these three to me too, you don't even bother to take them back.

But I only pay two yuan for these three eggs. "

"No, no, I'll give it to you if you want it!"

"Two yuan is two yuan, big sister won't bully you dolls!"

She also has children in her own family, and besides, seeing this person in front of her is so honest, she will not take advantage of him for two dollars.

What can you do with two dollars, now the Shao Wu on the field costs three dollars a bowl.

Just like that, after selling a large sum of money, there were only ten or twenty in Su Zeyu's basket, and the ones on the straw mat were almost picked up for the eldest sister, and only some sparse ones were left on it.

He hurriedly rearranged the things on the straw mat, and picked out all the things in the basket.

There are a total of twelve gray duck eggs. Su Zeyu saw that no one asked, so he might not be able to sell them.

Unexpectedly, when an old man came, he only bought his gray duck eggs, and took away twenty green duck eggs.

After picking up the eggs, no one came to ask the price, Su Zeyu took out a wet towel, wiped his hands, then took out the phone boredly, and called Xie Xiuping.

"I'm right here behind you, see? I'm coming!"

After Xie Xiuping answered the phone, he spoke without waiting for Su Zeyu to ask anything.

Hearing this, Su Zeyu looked back and saw Xie Xiuping walking over with two plastic bags in one hand and a phone in the other, so he hung up the phone.

"There are too many people rushing to the market today, and the car can't find a place to park!

There are so many people, it takes a long time to walk through a street, it is really crowded!

Be hungry, eat some, it's still hot! "

Xie Xiuping gave Su Zeyu one of the bowls of noodles, and started to eat a bowl himself.

Looking at the empty bag and the twenty or thirty eggs on the straw mat, his eyes lit up:

"Gouzi, not bad! You're not buying one, getting one free!"

"Hmph! Dogs look down on people!"

Su Zeyu was too lazy to tell him, and ate his own food.

After the two finished eating, Su Zeyu went to throw out the trash and walked by.

As soon as he left, the eldest sister next to him spoke to Xie Xiuping:

"Brother, you are really a fool, you have a fool, and you sell well!"

"Ah? Haha! He had a high fever when he was a child, and that's it after he retired!"

Xie Xiuping didn't know how to explain it, so he broke one and pointed at his head, implying that his brain was burnt out.

Unexpectedly, Su Zeyu was afraid of wandering away, so he just threw away the trash and came back. He just heard Xie Xiuping's words, and he gave Xie Xiuping a hard look.

……

After selling the duck eggs, I went shopping, bought some cold vegetables, and then went back.

"My accent is different, I'm afraid they will think I'm a foreign duck egg, not a local domestic one, so I have to speak less.

After listening to your accent for so long, as long as you don't talk too much, you won't give it away!

The eldest sister who sold three eggs for 140, she wants much more, I don't know what to pack for her.

Then she didn't know where she went to get a few egg trays, packed them up by herself, tied them up, and left!I look so stupid!

Someone came to collect the booth fee, and I couldn't tell if I was wearing ordinary uniforms, so I just paid two yuan after seeing the one next to me!

The older sister next to me also taught me how to sell.

Someone asked me, saying he wanted to buy some to hatch ducklings, and asked me if I had any more at home, how many duck eggs can be saved in one game, I can only say that I am not sure..."

On the way back, Su Zeyu told Xie Xiuping that the various mental states and things that happened to him selling duck eggs by himself today made Xie Xiuping laugh out loud.

"So in the eyes of others, you are a fool, who knows that you are pretending to be stupid!

No way, it's too funny, go back to ask for gold, they said, tell the old lady, let them have fun too!

It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together! "

"Jin Zi, if you dare to say it, I will fight with you for a month!"

"By the way, why is there such a big difference between the price and the cigarette price?"

"The so-called hurrying to the market! There is less supply and more demand, and the price will naturally go up!

Usually, these agricultural products will be more expensive than usual during the Chinese New Year!Think about it, people who usually go out to work have come back for the New Year, they want to eat...

Hey, why do you feel like I'm going to be your encyclopedia? "

"No, no, not an encyclopedia! You are my Yolomi! Haha!"

……

The two spent the new year in Qingnan, and returned to Qingzhou after the third year of junior high.

This vacation is not a part-time job, the two of them are doing travel strategies at home, thinking about graduating, can we have a graduation trip!
