The path down the mountain became smoother. Before nine o'clock, Liu Fugui had already walked to the river at the foot of the mountain with light footsteps.
The beach beside the river was already bustling with people.
The chubby little piggies were tied with hemp ropes and huddled together in a pile, being looked at by people passing by.
"Younger brother, come and see my little piglet. My piglet is fat and strong. It's easy to serve when you buy it back. The price is not expensive, one yuan per catty.”
Looking at Liu Fugui, who was like an iron tower, the woman's expression obviously slowed down for a moment, but she still forced a smile and greeted him.
"I'm not buying."
Liu Fugui shook his head slightly and walked quickly across the beach. He could not help but sigh in his heart that the prices were really cheap.
A piglet was only five to six yuan. In the future, it would only be enough to buy two bottles of drinks.
Liu Fugui finally arrived at his destination, Baqing Street Market, after crossing a shaky wooden bridge and climbing dozens of steps of bluestone stairs in one breath.
Since last year, Baqing Village had gradually implemented the policy of contracting production to each household.
In the past, the big pot of rice was for the public, but now the household production contract was for the family.
The villagers 'enthusiasm for labor had obviously increased a lot.
It was as if the market was already bustling with people.
Many of the quick-witted villagers had already started setting up stalls in the market to supplement their families.
Liu Fugui arrived late. The better stalls had already been occupied.
He walked and looked around until he reached another street.
Although it was not as lively as the market center, it had an advantage over the market-it was next to the school gate.
There was only one Baqing Primary School in the surrounding villages. There were many students in the school, so there were also a few vendors selling all kinds of things here.
Just like the sweet water melons in Liu Fugui's basket, they were one of the few snacks for the children in the mountains.
Seeing him put down the basket beside him, the uncle who was sitting on the ground hurriedly moved to the side.
After thinking about it, the uncle felt that it was inappropriate and quickly moved the bamboo basket in front of him back.
The main reason was that Liu Fugui's body size was too rare.
Even if this uncle didn't know him, he had heard of him.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was really difficult to find their current location, they would naturally hide as far away as possible.
However, Liu Fugui did not have any self-awareness of being a good-for-nothing.
He first wrapped up the wild rabbit and placed it by his feet. Then, he picked out a pile of sweet water melons and placed them on the ground. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, how much are you selling these chestnuts for?”
The uncle was a little scared by Liu Fugui's smile, but seeing that he didn't look like he was looking for trouble, the corners of his mouth twitched uncomfortably.
"It's not a rare thing. It's eight cents per catty.”
'Why is this idiot different from what others say?'
The uncle replied, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Not only him, but Liu Fugui had also received a lot of attention along the way.
Seeing the Baqing Village chief acting so abnormally today, everyone began to wonder.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Liu Fugui and the middle-aged man had just chatted for a while when a bronze bell rang from the school.
The quiet campus immediately burst into laughter, and the sound of laughter spread across half the street.
Many children from slightly richer families ran to the market while shouting,
In this era where supplies were scarce, children usually did not get to eat many snacks.
Today was a big episode that could only be caught in three to five days. Therefore, the children who had some pocket money in their pockets were looking forward to class ending early.
Liu Fugui had been waiting for this moment. He had already arranged the sweet watermelons in his basket into a small hill.
Soon, many sharp-eyed students saw the basket full of snow-white sweet watermelons.
"Ah, it's sweet water melon! It's so big!"
A group of children surrounded him, chattering.
The leader was a little fatty who was much fatter than his companion.
When she saw the sweet watermelons in Liu Fugui's basket, she could not help but stare straight at them.
"How much are you selling these sweet watermelons for?"
As soon as the fat boy asked this question, he saw Liu Fugui sitting behind the basket. His fat face twitched a few times and he subconsciously took two steps back.
" Oh my god, why is it this idiot?'
The chubby boy only wanted to slap himself. Why did he only see sweet melons just now?
If he had known that Liu Fugui was selling these things, he would not have come even if he was dying of hunger!
All these years, he had been robbed of so much food by Liu Fugui. Oil cakes, sugar cakes, preserved plums, crispy candy…
I can't think about it anymore. My liver hurts just thinking about it!
Let's go, let's go, we should hurry up and run!
"Little kid, you have good taste…"
Liu Fugui did not recognize the little fatty in front of him. After all, his predecessor had robbed many people. He would not remember everyone's appearance, right?
"I specially went to the forest near Quyang Valley early in the morning to pick these. They are absolutely fresh and juicy. 20 cents a catty is definitely worth it!”
"What? Two cents? Why don't you go rob…No, I mean, two cents can buy two candy cakes!”
The chubby boy subconsciously covered his pocket. Fortunately, he was still rational enough to change the rest of his sentence. After all, Liu Fugui was usually a bandit.
"You can eat sugar cakes anytime, but my sweet melons will have to wait until next year after this season…"
Liu Fugui grabbed a banana leaf and slowly fanned the fragrance forward.
"This thing is really fresh. Isn't it hard for me to travel up and down the mountain for more than ten miles?
It's not expensive to sell it to you for 20 cents. Besides, have you ever seen such a good sweet water melon before?”
In his previous life, Liu Fugui started off as a small stall owner. When it came to using his glib tongue to fool a little brat, wasn't it easy?
As expected, after being urged by him, the fat boy wrinkled his nose and sniffed the faint fragrance. In the end, his greed won over his rationality.
" That…That's fine. I want two catties. You…You can't lie to me…"
"How can that be! I guarantee that I won't cheat anyone!"
Liu Fugui smiled as he tore off a large piece of banana leaf and rolled it up. He picked up the largest and juiciest sweet water melons on the top and packed them into a dozen.
"Here, I'll give you two more to try. If it's delicious, call your classmates to buy it!”
Looking at the round and fragrant watermelons in front of him, the fat boy almost drooled. He hurriedly nodded and took them, paying for them rather readily.
"Yes, I'll definitely come again if it's delicious!”
After the fat boy left, the children who had been watching from the surroundings also walked over one after another.
Although Liu Fugui had always been notorious on this street, how could he hold back his greed when he saw that someone had already bought the sweet water melon and left?
"I…I want half a catty, okay?"
A little girl was staring at those big and plump melons.
Although this silly person was very silly, that sweet water melon also looked very sweet!
"No problem. Seeing how cute you are, I'll give you another one!”
Liu Fugui wrapped it up quickly and handed it over. In the end, he even picked up a small one and stuffed it directly into the little girl's hands.
"Ya! Thank you, Uncle!"
Seeing that Liu Fugui was not a thug and was even selling and gifting, the children around him immediately let down their guard and swarmed around his basket.
"I want a pound too!"
"I want half a catty!"
"Can I only buy three? I only have five cents…"
"I only have 3 points, but I want to eat too!”
As Liu Fugui packed the food in an orderly manner, he looked at the children who looked a little embarrassed.
"Uncle, this is sold at half a catty, but if you don't have enough money, you can pool your money together to buy it!”
"After you've gathered the money, I'll give you one for half a catty and two for half a catty. You can split it slowly when you go back!”
Some of the older children's eyes lit up when they heard his words. They quickly turned around and went to find their familiar classmates to collect money.
The other vendors who were waiting to see Liu Fugui make a fool of himself were stunned when they saw this!
Group purchase?
How could business be done like this?
This business mind was much smarter than theirs!
This…Was this still the same Liu Family idiot who only knew how to rampage?!
