Chapter 18 [Selling Walnuts]

From 1:30 pm to 4:00, I answered six or seven calls in total. The buyers came from all over the world and had all kinds of accents.

At first, the few were bargained, some were given two thousand and some were given five thousand, but I clearly stated on the forum that I refused to bargain, so I hung up my phone after chatting for a few words. The fourth call was called by a Tianjin person one day. Although he expressed his attitude to buy, he said he asked me to keep him for a few days. I really couldn't wait and didn't make a deal. The sixth one was a Shanghai native. He didn't bargain, but just said that I wanted to put the walnuts on Taobao and he would go and take pictures, which was more insurance than the method of cashing first and then goods. Originally, his proposal was reasonable, but it took a lot of procedures to open a Taobao store, so I didn't even open Alipay, so naturally I couldn't trade it.

Well, I worked in vain for the afternoon and wasted a lot of long-distance expenses.

Before I could eat, I went to the newsstand in Dongtou to buy a 100-yuan Chinese mobile phone card and recharged it on the spot.

The sesame paste noodles for dinner are both cheap and easy to deal with.

At this time, the cell phone I threw on the sofa rang again. I quickly ate the noodles in my mouth, picked up the phone and walked out.

My mother's complaint came from behind: "A few phone calls have happened in a while? If my classmates say that, wouldn't they be asked to call the landline at home? Mobile phones are expensive, so save some money!"

Dad knocked on the table: "Eat your meal, what do you care about him."

With my back on the toon tree, I pressed the answer button, "Hello, hello."

"Brother!" A girl's cheerful voice jumped from the other end of the phone, "I want your walnuts! Don't sell them to others!"

I was slightly stunned, hehe, quite happy, and replied, "Warnuts are still there, when do you want them? How do you trade?"

"Of course, the faster the better. If possible, it will be done now!" The girl said carelessly: "I am from Beijing too. Let's trade in person. Let me think about it. Well, do you know the north entrance of Heping Street? I live here. Oh, if it is not convenient to come here, let's make an appointment with other places? Sanlitun? Yansha? Beichen?"

The places she mentioned were all far away from my home and were all in the north.

Thinking about it, I said, "It's okay, just go to the north entrance of Heping Street. Then, I'll take a bus here now?"

"That's the best. Just this mobile phone number. Call me when I arrive. Hehe, my friend, thank you."

She was in a hurry to buy, I was in a hurry to sell, and everyone was very happy.

While it was dark, I went back to the house and covered the small wooden box with a short-sleeved shirt and put it in my arms. When I escaped from my parents' sight, I took it and took the bus to the North Third Ring Road. When I was about to reach Heping Street, I sent a text message to the girl. She didn't reply, but threw a call directly and told me to get off the bus and wait for her.

A few minutes later, I stood in front of a donkey meat fire restaurant on the side of the road.

"Brother!" someone called me behind me, turned my head and saw that it was a girl with a ponytail, very beautiful, not even worse than Zou Yue'e. She was about the same age as me, and she felt very youthful and lively. The girl was holding half of donkey meat in her mouth and raised her latest Samsung phone with her right hand, "Is the walnut yours?"

I was stunned for a moment, "...right."

Hey, why do it look familiar?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up, let me inspect the goods first." She took out the napkin and wiped the oil stains on her hands. She took the box from me, slowly lifted the wooden cover, and looked at me carefully. After a while, the girl nodded with great satisfaction and looked at me with a smile: "Yes, it seems that the photo is not fake. Brother, let's discuss something, is it okay to be cheaper to walnuts?"

When I heard this, I clenched my eyebrows and said, "Didn't you agree to have 10,000 yuan? You can't get cheaper."

The girl rolled her eyes: "It's all friends, is it that worth 1,800 yuan? Is it nine thousand yuan?"

I was more disgusted with the person who had turned his back on his word and took the walnuts from her: "It's only ten thousand, I won't sell it for a cent less!"

"Hey, what's the hurry? OK, 10,000 is 10,000." The girl glanced straight at me, and seemed to remember something, looking at me up and down: "Brother, have we seen it?"

I exclaimed: "I think you look familiar too. Uh, you are from Beijing University of Science and Technology, right?"

"So too? Haha, that's a coincidence." The girl reached out to me and shook it: "My name is Jiang Yan, sophomore."

Jiang Yan?

Which deputy president of the collection club is in the mouth of Liuzi?

You know, she is very famous in our school. Not only is she outstanding in her face, but her family is also rich. However, since she is not in the same department as me, I have never seen her several times, and I have never talked to her, so I didn't recognize her for a while.

"I, Gu Jing, are also a sophomore."

After shaking hands and talking for a few simple words, I realized why a girl, Jiang Yan, was willing to spend a lot of money to buy walnuts. It turned out that her grandfather was about to celebrate her 70th birthday, and she was preparing to use walnuts as a birthday gift. After a while, I thought about it, and handed the walnuts to Jiang Yan again, "I spent a lot of money for this pair of walnuts. I won't make any money anymore. I'll give you a cost of 1,000 or two." They are all from the same school, and I can't hide my face, so I'm embarrassed to ask her too much.

Jiang Yan was stunned: "...what can it do?"

I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, you can take it."

"Good guy, I'll give me a discount at once. You're so generous." Jiang Yan giggled and patted my right hand hard on my shoulder: "Okay, just say this. I'll pay you brother, but one code is one code. As the saying goes, brothers can settle the score clearly. I'll agree that 10,000 is 10,000. Let's go and withdraw money from me."

"Forget it, just give it a thousand."

Seeing that I didn't move, Jiang Yan simply reached out and pulled my arms forward, "Don't let my mother-in-law and mother-in-law, I just look down on me if I don't have money!"

After refusing for a while, I saw that she insisted on giving it to me, but I didn't feel pretentious anymore. After all, I really needed the money to help. The bank had closed and I was struggling in front of the ATM for more than ten minutes, and finally withdrew 10,000 yuan in cash in batches. During this period, my phone kept ringing, all asking me about the buyers of walnuts.

After hanging up a Sichuanese phone call, I wiped my sweat and said, "Is there an Internet cafe here? I have to add a sold post on it, otherwise the phone will be endless."

"Hi, why are you going to the Internet cafe? Let's go, I'll sit there for a while." Jiang Yan was not as tempted as an ordinary little girl I've seen. On the contrary, she spoke more neatly than men and was very happy.

"Forget it, well, I'd better go home and change it."

Jiang Yan pretended to be displeased and said, "Don't treat me as a friend? That's fine! I won't stop you from leaving! Don't say you know me later!"
