Chapter 12 Trying to Grow Cucumbers

At 7 o'clock the next day, I delivered the fish to the convenience market on time, and the bearded man had been waiting for a long time.The dozen crates of fish were enough for him, more than enough.The only downside is that the tricycle is too small, and I ran six more times.

Something unexpected happened.

When I finished delivering the last load of fish and was paying the bill with the bearded man, a middle-aged woman came over.

"Young man, which fishing ground is this fish from? Can you give me some?"

"Special fishery, my friend's, I will help him sell it. Auntie wants it, so it's easy to say, easy to say."

The bearded man was not happy when he heard that.

"Sister, we each sell our own, so there's no need to grab business at our stall. I'm a buddy with this little brother, and he doesn't have many fish. It's difficult for me to feed my household, so don't rob. You just sell you." The fish you sell are pretty good too!"

I noticed that the middle-aged women's fish stall is only about 10 meters away from the bearded man.When I went around two days ago, there were not many fish left in her fish tank, so it seemed that the fish was sold well.

In the past two days, the business seems to be a little bit worse, and I myself suspect that the bearded man has robbed her of the business.

The middle-aged woman is not to be outdone, "I said Huzi, I am not stealing customers from you, I just want to get some fish from the little brother, how can it be considered stealing your business? Just now the little brother said, give me a gift It’s easy to talk about ordering fish, how do you say that there are few fish? Which fishery can’t supply ten or eight families? Isn’t it, little brother?”

One sentence choked the bearded man speechless.I understand, the bearded man is worried that middle-aged women entering my fish will affect his business, don't forget that my fish is delicious.

Seeing that I have no objection, it's not easy for a bearded man to stop me.

I persuaded: "Brother, harmony makes money, everyone earns money, we can't eat alone. Besides, with your family alone, I can't sell much fish!"

The bearded man was unhappy and didn't say a word, so he had to obediently watch me negotiate with the middle-aged woman.

This aunt was also like the bearded man back then, she didn't dare to buy too much at once, she put a few barrels first to see if there was enough fish in the basket for one or three rounds, so I gave it to her.

When I checked out, I found that the price given by this aunt was higher than that of the bearded man.I understood in my heart that the bearded man killed me, and he bullied me for not knowing the market.But it doesn't matter, I don't want to point it out. With middle-aged women competing with him, he probably won't lower the price for me anymore.

The introduction of a competitive mechanism will demonstrate fairness.

Facts have proved that the choice of middle-aged women is correct.Before 11:[-], she called me and sent her another tank at noon, and said that after her previous fish were sold out, she would only buy fish from my family.

This requires me to do it right away, of course.The bearded fish was slow to sell, but at his request I filled his tank.

The middle-aged woman secretly told me that the bearded man occupies the entrance of the mall, and because of the favorable location, the fish sells faster than the stalls inside.But he also kills people very well, and familiar customers know that, in fairness, the scales of the bearded man are not as good as any of them.

It seems that people can't just look at appearances.I don't care what middle-aged women say, whoever buys my fish just pays, it has nothing to do with character.

The bearded man was also worried about it. He was a little reluctant when he learned that the price of fish offered by the middle-aged woman was high, so he finally hesitated to tell me to make up for the price difference between the two days.

I am very generous, forget about the previous ones, and keep the same price in the future.The bearded man put on a smiling face again, and even said that I was a good person, and he was too embarrassed to care about me selling fish to middle-aged women.

Everyone wants to be greedy for a little bit of cheapness, but just let him understand that the advantage is in the open, so he can't treat others as fools.

Before leaving the convenience market, I told the two of them that I would go back to my hometown tomorrow, and I could only deliver fish once in the morning, not at noon.

The middle-aged woman didn't say anything, the bearded man hesitated, and finally said something, call him if you need something.

After returning to the construction site, I pretended to go around the construction site.Since Manager Yao left me to guard the construction site, I must always do my duty.

When I was going back to the iron house to rest, I met Manager Yao and Bai Luoxue, who came out of the unfinished building.

I just took this opportunity to ask Manager Yao for leave.

"Manager Yao, I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Manager Yao readily agreed.

"It's okay, I should go back. Just talk to Lao Wang and the others. It's good to see your parents. I heard that you don't have a date yet. Let's make a blind date by the way. Make the marriage arrangement early so that your parents can rest assured."

Bai Luoxue, who had a serious face just now, chuckled.

"Have you seen it? The leader is so good. He cares about his subordinates. When he goes home to visit his relatives, he never forgets to ask for a blind date. This will save him from being single, and the leader's face will be shamed."

I'm a bit overwhelmed, just asking for a leave of absence.The same goes for Manager Yao, why bother to mention the blind date?The key is in front of Bai Luoxue.I'm embarrassed, they don't care at all.

"Ah...ha! Thank you leader for your concern. Go home and ask your parents to see if there is any girl waiting for me who wants to date me."

My self-mockery amused the two of them, especially Bai Luoxue, who laughed wantonly.In my impression, beside Manager Yao, in front of the workers, he was basically serious.Could it be that yesterday you saw that I looked very handsome in new clothes, so you didn't take defense against me?

"Don't forget to bring some gifts for your parents when you get home. The fish you recommended is good. I bought one yesterday, and my family was full of praise. My daughter clamored to eat it today, so I had to buy it."

Manager Yao mentioned fish.

Bai Luoxue immediately added something.

"I also bought it yesterday, and my parents still want to eat it. I have to buy it today because I want to eat it too. I suspect there is something wrong with this fish."

My heart skipped a beat, what's the problem?They said that I seem to have a similar feeling. Fortunately, I have never stopped fish with Master Gao and the others in the past few days, so I don't have that special feeling of wanting to eat.As soon as Bai Luoxue said it, I also began to doubt, could there really be something wrong with that fish?

Seeing me stunned, Bai Luoxue laughed again, "I mean, that fish is addictive, suitable for all ages. Medical research shows that eating more fish is good for your health. Go buy two!"

Of course I don't need to buy it, but what they said reminded me that my parents must be full of food when I go home.

The two walked side by side.Looking at their backs, I was envious at first, and then disappointed. I really wanted to take Manager Yao's place, and it was me beside Bai Luoxue.

Say hello to Master Gao and tell him that I will go back to my hometown tomorrow. After that, I went to the mall to buy some gifts for my parents.

The dinner with the three old men was still the same, and I ate happily, and there was still fish on the table.

When entering the space to fetch fish, another surprising discovery was made.All the cucumber seeds planted yesterday have grown out, not just breaking through the soil and sprouting. The melon seedlings have climbed up the bamboo poles and bloomed small yellow flowers.

This is only a day, and the growth is rapid.I understand that in this alien space, these phenomena cannot be understood with conventional understanding.

Now that the seedlings can survive, I simply planted more than a dozen cucumber seeds.
