Chapter 55 Setting up a Stall
In late June, the south entered the rainy season, with continuous rain falling in many provinces, and Province E was no exception. Fang County was not affected much, with mostly sunny and rainy days, and occasional light rain. It's also drizzle. In rural areas, it's normal for the sun to rain at the same time.
After the college entrance examination, high school and junior high school students were liberated. Young people can be seen everywhere on the streets in every place. Many businesses are booming and the customer base is booming.
That day was the weekend again, so Li Daniu set up his stall as scheduled, moved a small stool to sit and watch people coming and going. It was already past nine o'clock, and young people also got up to get some fresh air and walked on the street. There are also many young people.
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li-"
Li Daniu squinted his eyes slightly to admire Guys and Dolls and was in trance. When he heard the shouting, he didn't react for a moment and looked ahead in confusion. There was no one around. He turned his head again and saw a girl in a white T-shirt and jeans standing next to him. She was grinning at him, and he suddenly became energetic: "Xiao Lele, how come you have time to come today?" Are you playing in the county town?"
Uncle Li's ups and downs tone was particularly joyful. Le Yun was so amused that she giggled: "Grandpa Li, I went to the county town today to help others sell things. I was looking for If we don’t have a suitable stall, let’s discuss it. Can we borrow your stall to set up?”
She originally wanted to seize the time to finish the work in the field, and wait until she went to the county town to fill out the application form at school. Then I set up a stall to sell goods. Yesterday, Aunt Feng and Grandma Zhou came up with a deal to help with the work in the fields. Since they had nothing to do at home, they decided to go to the county in advance to sell some fruits in the space. After filling out the application form, they could try again. Go into the mountains to find medicinal materials.
"It's done, why can't it be done? Where are the things? Go and move them, and I will make room for them soon." Li Daniu smiled and started to pick up his gadgets.
"I also want to borrow Uncle Li's tricycle to carry goods. I'll talk to Uncle Li." Le Yun trotted into the store to find Li Wang, Li Daniu's son.
This is the time when young people get up to have breakfast and play. The pastry shop is doing well. Li Wang is wearing an apron and kneading dough. When he sees Le Xiao’s classmate, he smiles and says: "Ouch, our little champion is here. If he wants to eat something, ask your aunt to hot it for you."
Having already become familiar with the Li family, Le Yun was not shy at all: "Uncle Li , I want to borrow your tricycle to help me haul some things to sell. Do you have some free time now?"
"The car is parked behind, take it yourself." Li Wang said without saying a word. Where is Xiaole’s car and the keys? Let her get them by herself.
"What kind of number one is the little number one scholar?"
"Is it the number one scholar in No. 3 Middle School?"
"Boss Li, that one just now is Not the top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination?”
Hearing Boss Li call the little girl Xiaozhuangyuan, the diners in the store immediately paid attention. When Mr. Le Xiao went out to pick up the car from the back door, everyone was talking about it.
"Yes, that's right, the top scorer in Le No. 3 Middle School. The top scorer in Le Xiao has been friends with my father for many years. He comes to our store to help out when he has time."
"Ah, It turned out to be the top prize winner!"
"It seemed that the top prize winner just said he wanted to sell something?"
"I heard it too, but I don't know what he was selling."
The diners suddenly became very curious and wanted to know what Le Zhuangyuan was selling. They wanted to watch the excitement, so they didn’t rush to leave and ate slowly.
Le Yun drove easily to the yard behind the Li family’s shop and drove off. The Li family’s tricycle was also an electric one like Zhou Qiufeng’s. It looked relatively small and could carry up to four or five thousand kilograms. Li’s It is also responsible for replenishing goods and making rice grains when going home.
Because she was in a hurry, she drove her car out of the pedestrian street and into a small street from another street. She deliberately parked her car in a place where many vehicles were parked. After observing that there was no one nearby, she instantly moved the car into the street. After leaving the space, he pretended to lock the car and leave as if he had something to do. He walked around the other end of the street to another alley, took out the tricycle filled with things when no one was around, and drove to the pedestrian street with a bang.
Li Daniu put away all his gadgets, cleaned the floor, and waited eagerly for Little Le. The diners in the shop were also waiting, and some were really embarrassed to sit in and disturb others. Go about your business, run outside and wait.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, everyone was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the little champion Le Xiao was back. When they saw the little classmate returning home with a full load, everyone’s mouths opened like "O", and the tricycles were loaded with A cart full of cucumbers and tomatoes came, estimated to be no less than a hundred kilograms each.
It’s already past nine o’clock, can it be sold out?
Everyone suddenly raised a question. People who buy groceries usually do so in the morning, and most of them go shopping after midnight. It feels like having such a big cart at this time... Hard to sell.
Li Daniu didn’t want to dampen the children’s enthusiasm. He didn’t say how to get so many and it might not be easy to sell, so he helped push the car to a place next to the wall and park it to facilitate buying and selling.
When Little Le’s classmate parked the car, the onlookers also saw the goods clearly. The cucumbers were so tender that they seemed to be dripping with water, and the tomatoes were bright red and exuded an alluring smell.
Gudong-
In the past, when they saw cucumbers and tomatoes, they didn’t have much desire to eat them, but now they only have one thought: they want to eat them! I want to eat.
“Le Xiao Zhuangyuan, how many yuan per catty?”
Before anyone can say anything, everyone can’t control themselves and ask about the price.
"Ten yuan a pound."
"Huh?" Everyone stared, as if I heard it wrong. They must have heard it wrong, it was ten yuan and three. How heavy is it?
Just as he was about to confirm the price, a classmate from Le Xiao ran into the store and found a piece of cardboard, wrote a few words with a water-core pen, and then asked Mr. and Mrs. Li Wang for a basin to fill with water. Take the bowl and knife, and take the toothpick holder from the store with you.
A student from Le Xiao put a sign up on the car. It read brightly on it: "Cucumbers and tomatoes are ten yuan a pound, and the purchase limit is five pounds."
"Ten ...Ten yuan?”
“Ten yuan a pound, and there is a purchase limit, am I wrong?”
Everyone was immediately excited, isn’t it just cucumbers and tomatoes? , is it so expensive to sell as ginseng? Or is it because the champion is hawking, so the lion opens his mouth?
Li Daniu was also confused and wanted to ask the child if he was joking. He saw Xiao Lele setting up his small table, putting on bowls and knives, and taking two cucumbers and a few I washed the tomatoes in a basin and then used a knife to peel the cucumbers.
"It tastes good."
The cucumber was cut into slices, and a sweet smell drifted away, making the throats of those who were talking to each other dry for a while, and they swallowed hard. saliva.
Everyone stared at Le Xiao, wanting to see what she was thinking. When Mr. Le cut the tomato into pieces, a refreshing and refreshing smell spread out, and the sounds of swallowing could be heard all around.
I can’t help it anymore and want to eat it!
People who thought it was too expensive before looked at the sliced cucumbers and tomatoes cut into pieces by Mr. Le, and almost salivated. Seeing that the little student was in a hurry, he scratched his head anxiously. Gee, you should hurry up!
