Reborn Sanitary

Time passed day by day, and on the morning of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Tao followed Zhang Hai to finish watering the vegetable field and looked at the fruits hanging on the branches. Whether it was Zhang Hai or Xu Tao, the smiles on their faces could not be stopped. They had just finished their work , Xu Yan lifted the quilt and walked into the greenhouse, "Brother, Xiaotao, go back to the house for dinner."

Xu Tao looked back at Xu Yan, with a smile on his face, and beckoned Xu Yan to come over, "Sister, come here, take a look at our food."

As soon as Xu Yan heard Xu Tao talk about the vegetables in the vegetable field, a smile instantly appeared on her face. She walked to Xu Tao's side with arched eyebrows, and looked at the slender beans that were longer than the palm of her hand, the purple shiny eggplants, and the emerald green ribbons. With the peppers dripping with water, the excited eyes seem to glow.

"Sister, are you and Aunt Fat going to sell vegetables in the city tomorrow?" Xu Tao asked Xu Yan with a smile, and Xu Yan nodded, "I will go tomorrow. If we go back next year, the price of vegetables will be higher, and that’s what I’m thinking about.”

"Sister, how much do you want to sell?" Xu Tao thought for a while and asked slowly.

The smile on Xu Yan's face became much smaller, and she frowned slightly, "Xiaotao, Fat Auntie and I have been thinking about this for the past two days. Do you think we want to sell it for fifty cents a catty?"

Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan in surprise, Xu Yan had a little hesitation on his face, as if the price of fifty cents was very high, "Is fifty cents too high? Isn't it only fifteen cents in summer? How about we Buy three cents, double the price." Zhang Hai's words let Xu Tao fully understand the ignorance of the family members on off-season vegetables.

Xu Tao didn't speak but looked at Xu Yan, Xu Yan frowned at Xu Tao, "What do you think I'm doing? What's wrong? The price is too high?"

Xu Tao shook his head, "It's low." "What the hell? It's low?" Xu Yan and Zhang Hai shouted in surprise, and Xu Tao nodded slowly, "It's low, sister, let's go back to the room first, and I'll tell you about it in detail. Tell me." After speaking, Xu Tao turned around and walked towards the gate with his padded jacket.

Xu Yan and Zhang Hai glanced at each other, and Zhang Hai asked in a low voice, "Yanzi, Xiaotao didn't get any fright, right?" Xu Yan frowned and thought for a while, "No, what's wrong?"

Zhang Hai grinned, "Then why are you talking nonsense? Fifty cents is less? How much does he want to sell? Seventy cents or eighty cents? Who will buy it?" After speaking, rubbing his teeth, Xu Yan also wondered, "He didn't Let’s talk, at that time it was said that it could be sold for money, but it couldn’t be higher than the price of meat, right? The multi-layered meat only sold for [-] cents.”

Zhang Hai grinned and glanced at Xu Yan, Xu Yan couldn't figure it out, "Okay, brother, let's go back to the room and listen to Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao is not a kid who likes to talk nonsense." It's not Er Gouzi, who is full of grinning, that kid usually doesn't talk much, unless necessary, he rarely speaks.

Xu Yan and Zhang Hai returned to the front room and saw that Xu Tao was already sitting at the kang table waiting, and the dishes and chopsticks were neatly arranged. Seeing Xu Tao's serious face, Zhang Hai couldn't help laughing , slapped Xu Tao on the back of the heart, "Boy, you don't have all your hair, why pretend to be an adult?"

Xu Tao raised his head and looked at Zhang Hai, who could see his tongue even when he was grinning. He slowed down his facial expression, rubbed his nose, and said, "Brother, eat."

Zhang Hai nodded with a smile, sat next to Xu Tao, took the roll (flower roll) handed to him by Xu Tao, opened his mouth and took a bite, Xu Tao saw that Xu Yan and Zhang Hai had moved their chopsticks, lowered their heads and ate quickly, and did not arrive In 10 minutes, the two paper rolls were eaten in one bowl. Xu Tao put down the bowl and chopsticks to wipe his mouth, and waited quietly for Xu Yan and Zhang Hai to finish eating.

"Xiaotao, hurry up and tell me how much it sells for?" Xu Yan asked anxiously before putting down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Two yuan." The bowl in Xu Yan's hand dropped on the table, her eyes were wide open as if they were about to fall, and she couldn't even speak with her mouth open.

Zhang Hai also stared at Xu Tao with wide eyes, and after a while stretched out his hand to touch Xu Tao's forehead, "Do you have a fever?"

Xu Tao took Zhang Hai's hand away, "Brother, I don't have a fever."

"What nonsense are you talking about if you don't have a fever? Are you running into evil?" Zhang Hai rubbed his face vigorously and said in surprise, Xu Tao shook his head and didn't speak, but Zhang Hai was confused by Xu Tao's actions. It's a mess, but it just keeps echoing the price Xu Tao just said, and unconsciously begins to convert, pork is 500 cents a catty, grain is [-] cents a catty, it costs [-] yuan to build three brick houses, and [-] catty of beans is [-] yuan , Ten catties twenty, one hundred catties two hundred, Zhang Hai was confused in the end, and there was nothing in front of him except the great unity flying around.

Xu Tao didn't speak, but just waited for the two to calm down. I don't know how long it took, maybe 10 minutes, maybe 10 minutes. Xu Tao glanced at Xu Yan and Zhang Hai who were obviously no longer in a good condition, stood up and began to clear the table, and then After pouring two cups of hot water, he returned to the house and put the cups in front of the two of them.

Seeing Xu Yan who was still in a daze, muttering about Zhang Hai, Xu Tao rubbed his forehead and knocked hard on the table. It was just a slap in the face, and he yelled loudly, "You've hit the devil, and you got two yuan back. Pork isn't that expensive. Who would buy it? No one would buy one piece."

Xu Tao smiled helplessly, and rubbed his forehead, "Sister, can you listen to me?"

Xu Yan stared at Xu Tao, "Tell me, if you don't make it clear today, I won't cut you. If you don't learn well at a young age, you can't make people laugh when you open your mouth. This is at home. If you are outside, don't take it away." The outsiders laughed out their teeth."

Xu Tao sighed secretly, nodded helplessly, and looked at Xu Yan seriously, "Sister, have you seen such fresh vegetables in winter before?" Xu Yan froze for a moment, then shook her head, "No." Xu Tao Turning to look at Zhang Hai, "Brother Da Da, what about you?"

Zhang Hai shook his head, "Xiaotao, don't talk about me and Yanzi, even our entire brigade and the entire township have never seen it."

Xu Tao nodded, "Brother, sister, you have heard the saying that rare things are valuable."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hai scratched his head and looked at Xu Tao in doubt. Xu Tao looked at Zhang Hai and said nothing for a while. It wasn't that Xu Tao didn't say anything but that Xu Tao didn't know what to say. Staring at Xu Tao, who was silent, he bared his teeth, staring at Xu Tao's forehead, his brain collapsed, "What do you mean? Why are you staring at me?"

Xu Tao felt very helpless, and turned his head to Xu Yan, "Sister, do you know what it means?"

Xu Yan smiled and nodded, "It means that the less things are, the more valuable they are." Xu Tao smiled and nodded, "That's what it means."

Zhang Hai looked at the smiling siblings, and muttered, "Whoever said that less things are more valuable, papa only once a day, and it didn't even look at the value."

Xu Tao, who was sitting next to him, could hear Zhang Hai's words clearly, and the smile on his face froze all of a sudden. He squinted at Zhang Hai who was picking his fingernails, and decided to pretend that he didn't hear it, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say. When will it be.

"Brother Dahai, sister, you also said that you have never seen fresh vegetables sold in winter, so this is our only one. If this is the case, why is the price so low? Besides, people in the city have wages, you Do you think it’s like our countryside? You’re all counting on the harvest in the field?”

Xu Yan and Zhang Hai were silent. Although they felt that what Xu Tao said was reasonable, they still felt that their hearts were not on the ground. After a while, Xu Yan raised her head and looked at Xu Tao seriously, "Xiao Tao, do you really think that the price of two yuan is worthless?" not tall."

Xu Tao nodded solemnly, "Sister, if you believe me, it must not be high. Otherwise, I wouldn't say it. If it doesn't work, you can try it. Bring less on the first day. If you can't sell it, we'd rather bring it back. Let’s talk about it in the next day, sister, remember, no matter who is negotiating the price, you will bite to death. For this price, sister, who doesn’t eat dumplings for Chinese New Year? .”

Xu Yan looked at Xu Tao, Xu Tao didn't dodge and let Xu Yan scrutinize him, after a while Xu Yan nodded slowly, "I'll try, if it doesn't work, I'll lower the price." Xu Tao smiled and didn't speak, Xu Tao felt that Instead of persuading me here, it is better to let my sister understand the market by herself.

The next morning at two o'clock in the morning, the siblings put the fresh vegetables they picked into the foam box used to sell popsicles in summer. In order to prevent the vegetables from freezing, a layer of quilt was spread inside the box, and the vegetables were wrapped in plastic cloth. Put the vegetables in the box and put a dog-skin mat on top of the vegetables. After the box was installed, Xu Tao pulled out a quilt that was left over from the waste collection station, wrapped the box, tied it with a rope, and finished everything. , Putting the box aside, Xu Yan warmed up the leftovers from the night before. Before she finished eating, she heard Zhang Hai's shout outside the yard. Xu Tao ran out and opened the door to welcome people into the house.

Zhang Hai and Yu Guihua, who entered the house, carried a foam box wrapped like Xu Tao's. After Xu Yan had eaten, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hai drove the carriage and the three left home with anxiety.

It was dark and the road was slippery, and it was almost five o'clock when he carefully drove the carriage to the brigade's station. Zhang Hai left the carriage at the brigade headquarters, and the three of them took the five o'clock passing car to the city. She also disagreed with putting the boxes on the car shed. Yu Guihua even quarreled with the conductor, so she counted three boxes as one person's ticket and left it in the car. One person was [-] cents, three people had three boxes, and it cost three yuan. Twenty cents, Yu Guihua felt distressed, if it wasn't for the long distance, she wanted the car to take the food, so she ran to go.

After wandering for four hours, they finally arrived in the city at a little after nine o'clock. The three of them started to feel dazed when they got out of the car. Except for Yu Guihua who had been to the city once, the rest Xu Yan and Zhang Hai were entering the city for the first time.

That’s not the case at the main station. Xu Yan looked at the bustling and dizzying station, gritted her teeth, blushed and ran to the ticket office to ask in a low voice where the biggest vegetable market was. After asking, Xu Yanhong They ran back to Yu Guihua who was waiting with a grimace. According to what they said, the biggest vegetable market was really not close to them. It took an hour to make a traffic car. The three of them asked and took them away. market.

Just as Xu Yan was about to go in with the box in her arms, she was grabbed by Yu Guihua, "Swallow, don't go in yet, let the big dog go in and see if there is any vegetable seller, what is the price, and then we can go in."

Zhang Hai looked at Yu Guihua with some hesitation, "Mother, if I go in, they can't drive me out?"

Yu Guihua stared, "You can't watch it if you don't buy it, and it's not for you to steal it. What are you afraid of? Where is the vigor at home? Hurry up and come back."

Zhang Hai thought about it, so he looked for himself, grinned, and ran to the big market. Xu Yan and Yu Guihua were waiting outside the door. After a long time, Yu Guihua stretched her neck anxiously before seeing Zhang Hai Hainaomenzi ran back sweating.

After making a big circle, Zhang Hai's eyes were shining brightly, and he ran to Yu Guihua, "Mother, there are no fresh vegetables in it, not even a single one, that is, there are no bean sprouts produced by Xiaotao's method at home, mother." , let’s go in, I asked, and they told me that if you want to occupy a space inside, you have to pay three yuan.”

Yu Osmanthus nodded vigorously, "Let's pay, let's go in." After speaking, she walked into the vegetable market proudly holding the box and holding her chest.

Things were completely beyond Xu Yan's expectations. After paying the money, the three people who occupied the space opened layers of packages, revealing the fresh vegetables with water droplets inside. The first person who asked the price shook his head and walked away. , the second person who asked the price shook his head again and left. Before Xu Yan's heart sank, a young woman opened for the two families, as if opening the market at once. The dishes dropped little by little, and when they reached the bottom of the box, The people standing next to the three of them had already filled the circle of the three of them, and some even quarreled over an eggplant and a pepper.

The three people, Xu Yan, Yu Guihua collected the money, and Zhang Hai weighed them. In just over an hour, the three boxes of vegetables were sold cleanly. Xu Yan smiled when she saw the crowd surrounding the three without buying any vegetables. Eyes, "Mothers and sisters, we will come at this time tomorrow, everyone will come to buy tomorrow." Xu Yan shouted loudly, "Little girl, are you sure to come tomorrow?" A woman in her 50s asked, Xu Yan Nodding with a smile, "Designate, don't worry ma'am."

When packing things, the three of them were a little dumbfounded. When they were busy selling vegetables and collecting money, they didn't know how much they had, but the money in the bag made the three of them feel flustered instantly. Putting the money into the sewn pockets of the line pants, fastened the belt again, and the three of them hurried to the station without daring to delay.
