Push the cart in front of the archway and place the basket on the ground.

Chen Ling took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was just after eleven o'clock. This was the time when there were many people going to the market. If you stay here for an hour, you can best sell.

If you can't sell it, forget it. If you can't eat it when you go back, give some to Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng's family.

Selling Dongtian vegetables cheaply is not as good as giving away favors.

"Cucumbers and tomatoes cost five yuan a pound. If they don't taste good, don't pay for them!"

Chen Ling started to drink.

This shout attracted a lot of attention.

What the hell are you selling cucumbers and tomatoes for five yuan a pound? This is robbery.

The stall owner next to me couldn't help but look over here.

"Cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh vegetables from the greenhouse, try them first before buying, you will know what is good and what is good..."

"It's five yuan a pound. If you don't want to buy it, you can try it."

Chen Ling continued to shout regardless of what others thought.

With such a shout, people who were just curious quickly gathered around.

Including a shoe repairman at the stall next to him and a candy seller.

"Hey, I said it's only March, and there are cucumbers here. I bet they were grown in greenhouses."

"It costs a lot to build a greenhouse. I heard that someone built a greenhouse to grow mushrooms in Yangtougou."

"You know what? A greenhouse for growing mushrooms does not take up two acres of land and does not cost much. Only those who grow vegetables spend money..."

"What's the matter? They can't be sold so expensively. The most expensive vegetables in the county only cost less than two yuan. They sell for five yuan a pound. They are killing people like animals."

"..."

Seven or eight people gathered around, talking about anything.

Chen Ling didn't care, took out two cucumbers, broke them into several pieces and handed them out.

"Folks, let's not talk about it being expensive. Come and taste it. If it doesn't taste good, I won't dare to sell it at this price even to death. Don't you think so?"

“You get what you pay for, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

"I'll try it."

The middle-aged shoe repairman at the stall next to Chen Ling nodded, took a piece of cucumber, rubbed it on his clothes and took a bite.

"Crack."

After taking this bite, the middle-aged man felt his mouth full of crispiness. After chewing for a few bites, his lips and teeth were left with a fragrant aroma.

There is another cool feeling that goes straight to the center of the eyebrows, making people feel refreshed.

The middle-aged man hurriedly took the remaining piece into his mouth. While eating, he gave Chen Ling a thumbs up and said vaguely: "It's delicious. Brother, your cucumber is indeed delicious."

After saying this, others couldn't help but take the cucumber from Chen Ling's hand and taste it.

When they tasted it, they were all pleasantly surprised and gave Chen Ling a thumbs up and full of praise.

However, neither of them had the intention to buy it.

This was also expected by Chen Ling, so when he took the tomatoes and asked others to taste them, no one came forward to eat them.

If you don’t buy other people’s food, who would have the nerve to eat it?

"Brother, your food is really good, but the price is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?"

The middle-aged man who repaired shoes spoke, looking at Chen Ling's two large baskets of vegetables, he swallowed his saliva a little.

Because he was standing closer now, he could smell the aroma wafting from the cucumbers and tomatoes.

"That's right, make it cheaper. Each of us will buy you two kilograms. Isn't that why you brought the vegetables to the market to sell them?"

"Young students, you need to be flexible when doing business and make it cheaper for us."

"..."

Chen Ling smiled and shook his head: "It can't get any cheaper. Five yuan is really the lowest price."

"Everyone has tasted it just now. To be honest, do you think such a delicious dish is worth five yuan a pound?"

They didn't say anything now. They had tasted it and knew that the food tasted really good, otherwise they wouldn't even bother to bargain.

"You sell it so expensively that even the leaders can't afford it. I'd better go to the market first."

The people who came to the market dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the shoe repairman under the big archway and the candy seller.

The candy seller was a chubby old man with patches of blue and white on his face, a varicose face.

The scientific name is vitiligo.

The old man came over and said, "Little brother, you see, we all set up a stall together. We really want to buy something. Can you give me a cheaper price?"

Chen Ling glanced at the two of them, picked out a few tomatoes and cucumbers from the basket, and stuffed them into their arms.

"It's fate to set up stalls in the same place. If you think it's delicious, just take some and buy whatever you want."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, we should give you as much as we should give you..."

Chen Ling's generous performance made the two of them feel embarrassed.

I have been running a stall outside for a long time, and all of them are face-conscious people. Bargaining is haggling, so how can I be so shameless as to ask for something young?

"You two are welcome, just accept it quickly."

"I'm going to the west to buy livestock in a while, so I need you to take care of this stall."

Chen Ling said cheerfully.

"Well, that's okay."

When the old and the young heard this, they accepted it with confidence.

After turning around and putting things on their respective stalls, they ran over to chat with Chen Ling.

After the two parties introduced each other, they found out that these two people were locals of Changle Township.

The candy seller's varnished face is called Zhang Tiegen, and everyone else calls him Lao Gen, or Uncle Lao Gen.

Usually there are candy sellers walking around the streets in various villages.

The shoe repairman's name is Guo Baolai. He not only repairs shoes, but also repairs bicycles, mends pots, and even slaughters pigs.

"Fugui, you can buy livestock later and let Baolai take you there. He knows a lot about the cattle, horse and pig industries and is very familiar with them."

The two of them chatted with Chen Ling, and from time to time they helped Chen Ling shout a few words and pulled the two people over.

Unfortunately, they are too expensive and no one buys them.

"Candy sellers, are you still in business?"

After a while, I heard someone shouting.

Chen Ling and the others looked over and saw a black-haired old lady pulling a fat child standing in front of the candy seller's stall. The child was putting his feet up and shouting "Sunhou'er, Sunhou'er" and reaching out to get it.

.

"Hey, who is this person? He looks really familiar."

Zhang Tiegen walked over with a smile, picked up a Monkey King candy man and handed it to the little fat man.

The old lady glared at him: "I know your grandma well. Let's go home and have dinner together at noon. Huanhuan and her man finally come back. You go over and have a few drinks with her. Otherwise, your brother-in-law's drinking capacity is simply not good enough."

"No, no, Huanhuan and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I don't even know what to say when I go. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Tiegen waved his hand, then took out a tomato from the back of the stall and handed it to the little fat man: "Come on, call uncle, uncle will give you something delicious."

"I won't scream. You just said bad things about my mother. You are a bad old man."

The little fat man pouted and said.

"Xiao Ming, why are you talking to your uncle? Your mother taught you to be polite, have you forgotten?"

The old lady lightly hit the little fat man on the head and glanced at Zhang Tiegen: "It's just spring, where did you get the tomatoes?"

"Here, a little brother over there sells it. It's grown in a greenhouse. It's sour and sweet. It's delicious. Sister, you and your kids can take some."

Zhang Tiegen handed over all the tomatoes given by Chen Ling.

The old lady glanced at Chen Ling, then took a tomato from Zhang Tiegen's hand: "One is enough. Don't give him so many. This kid has a very picky mouth. Who knows whether he will eat it or not."

"Then uncle, let's make a candy man for Xiao Ming, and how about making a monkey child."

Zhang Tiegen's old face smiled like a flower.

"Okay, I like Sun Hou'er."

The little fat man's eyes suddenly lit up and he sang: "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, you are really amazing..."

The old lady said at the side: "If you want a grandchild, just call me uncle and say thank you uncle."

With the sugar man, the little fat man immediately became much better behaved and said honestly: "Thank you, uncle."

This made Zhang Tiegen laugh out loud.

After the old lady took the little fat man away, Guo Baolai joked: "No wonder Uncle Gen, you just took me to buy vegetables from Fugui. It turned out that you were giving it to your grandnephew as a rare thing."
