"Then...Okay, I'll do you a favor. When will you come over tomorrow? Is it in the morning?" Fang Zhiqiang didn't really want to come, but he saw that his aunt in her fifties and sixties was busy here. The person who was walking around was a fellow countryman, and he would feel sorry if he didn't help, so he agreed.
“No, are you busy today?”
“No.”
“If not, then help me now, look. Look, I'm really overwhelmed. Okay, okay, I'll come over here right away, okay, wait a moment, I'm sorry. Come on, young man, do me a favor, help me take care of that. Is that piece on the side good?" Auntie asked busyly.
"Oh, okay." Fang Zhiqiang saw that there was nothing he could do and immediately walked into the stall. The so-called stalls are platforms cut out of cement in the market. The platforms surround a square circle, and various vegetables for sale are placed on them. This is a stall. This is in the fruit and vegetable area, surrounded by stalls selling vegetables. Since this vegetable market is the largest vegetable market nearby, and the surrounding population is quite dense, there are quite a lot of people coming here to buy vegetables every morning and morning, and most of the stalls are doing very good business.
Of course, since it is a vegetable market, the environment is definitely not much better. Although the municipal government departments are very strict in supervising and controlling environmental sanitation, the meat on the other side is emitting chicken The smell of duck and fish still permeates the entire vegetable market.
Auntie is guarding her side alone, but this stall is surrounded by people, so she can’t take care of it when there are too many people. Generally, there are only two people in the stall here.
Fang Zhiqiang stumbled in and walked in.
“How much does this cost per pound?” A middle-aged woman asked Fang Zhiqiang as she picked up a handful of celery.
This question stunned Fang Zhiqiang. He turned around and asked his busy aunt: "Auntie, how much does celery cost per pound?"
"What kind? This one costs five yuan, and that one costs four yuan." The aunt turned around and pointed at the dishes above and said to Fang Zhiqiang.
“Five yuan, this kind.”
“Then give me two yuan.” The middle-aged woman shouted.
"Okay." Fang Zhiqiang slowly and unfamiliarly started his first job of selling vegetables in his life.
"Young man, there is an apron under there. Please tie it on and don't get it dirty." Auntie reminded Fang Zhiqiang when she saw Fang Zhiqiang doing it seriously at the stall. Give Fang Zhiqiang a try.
Fang Zhiqiang found an apron on the piles of baskets full of vegetables under the table, tied it on himself, and then startedMy nervous and busy job of selling vegetables.
Fang Zhiqiang suddenly found a new job in such a muddle and started working on it. Even he himself didn’t know what was going on. He never thought that one day he would become a The vegetable seller goes to work selling vegetables. For him, he really just wanted to help this fellow man, but he didn't regard it as a job to make any money.
From the time Fang Zhiqiang came in to help, he was busy until almost 12 o'clock at noon. It was not until 12 o'clock that there were slightly fewer customers. At this time, the aunt asked Fang Zhiqiang to help her look after the stall while she went home to cook.
Fang Zhiqiang could only nod and sit here. After a morning of high-intensity practice, he had basically mastered the art of selling vegetables. There was no technical content in this. Electronic scales, input The price comes directly from the amount, so there is no need to do any calculations. The only thing is to remember the prices of various dishes. Fortunately, Fang Zhiqiang has always had a good memory and basically remembered them all.
It is said that business is at its worst at noon. There are basically no customers. Fang Zhiqiang just sat there smoking and playing with his mobile phone in boredom. His aunt went home and cooked vegetables and rice. She sent a copy to Fang Zhiqiang, and then hurried to the hospital to take care of her husband.
It wasn’t until about four o’clock in the afternoon when the business started to pick up again that the aunt rushed over in a hurry, and then continued to operate the stall until seven o’clock in the evening. The work of closing the stalls was more troublesome. Fang Zhiqiang followed his aunt to a corner of the market and rolled out her tricycle. Then he went to the market and packed all the vegetables that were bought and sold in baskets one by one and piled them into the tricycle. Then he and his aunt pushed the tricycle to their home. To be honest, this job is laborious and a woman really cannot do it. Fang Zhiqiang felt as tired as anything at the end of the day.
That night, Fang Zhiqiang was left by his aunt to have dinner at her house.
"Come on, Xiao Fang, this is your salary today, one hundred and fifty yuan, take it." After the meal, the aunt took out one hundred and fifty yuan and gave it to Fang Zhiqiang.
"No, no, no, no need, auntie, I'm really helping you. I never thought about asking for wages. I've already had two meals at your place." Fang Zhiqiang was unwilling. When he took the money, he really just wanted to help her.
"Take this, young man. Auntie is an honest person. Even if you are a good auntie, I can't treat you badly. You say you can help me every day, but auntie doesn't just ask you to help me for a day. You also have to look at it. Here we are, I can’t handle this stall alone. You have to help Auntie for a few more days. You can’t just help me every day for nothing, right? Besides, you are a good person and a teacher. I made a special effort when I left today. I didn’t take the money from the cupboard, but I actually knew how much money was in the cupboard, and I knew how much food was left.You knew it in your heart. When you came back, the food and money were correct. You didn't touch a penny. This shows that you are an honest child. You can't take advantage of your good aunt, right? Take it, we agreed on the money first. "The aunt just gave Fang Zhiqiang one hundred and fifty yuan.
"Then... that's okay. "Fang Zhiqiang finally took the 150 yuan helplessly.
"Tomorrow morning, you may have to be a little earlier, get here at 4:30, and we will go to the wholesale market together. You have to go early to restock. If you go late, the good and fresh ones will be taken away by others. You have to come with me for this. I can't push so many dishes by myself. "Auntie said.
"It's half past four...Okay, I'll come over to you at half past four tomorrow morning. "Fang Zhiqiang frowned a little when he heard the time of four-thirty, but finally agreed. Since he agreed to help others, he had to help to the end.
Later, Fang Zhiqiang and his aunt went out together The aunt opened the door and took the soup to the hospital, while Fang Zhiqiang hurried home.
As soon as he entered the house after returning home, he saw Bi Luochun lying in front of his computer studying the lottery. Too lazy to care about him, he went to wash up and then lay on the bed to sleep. He was really tired after the day, very tired, very tired, and he had to get up so early tomorrow morning, so he had to go to bed early.
