Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 25 Too old-fashioned



‘Pa~papa~~. ’

There is still the sound of rain lapping at the colored steel plates. Based on the fact that it started raining the night before yesterday, if there is another whole day during the day today, it will be two days and two nights.

The three turtles were tied very thickly with straw rope. I was mainly worried that they would crawl around when they were not brought over. They would not be able to crawl if they were tied directly. Just untie the rope and leave more than one circle, and let them move. The more they can move, the fresher they will feel to others.

When the solution was almost complete, I put it in a plastic bucket. Luo Cheng continued to lie on the bed and started scrolling through his mobile phone. He didn't want to go back to his own time and had no energy at all. The future era is so wonderful. If he saves money for a day's work, he will not starve to death for at least a month, so he has a mobile phone. Such a treasure.

In addition to what Master Wang said, it is too expensive to marry a wife in this era, and everything seems to be good.

The rain didn't stop, and Luo Cheng guessed that work might not start again today. If work started, he would carry turtles to sell during the lunch break. If he doesn't start working, he will sell it later. He can go out in the morning to sell it, and he can buy it and stew it at noon.

As roughly guessed, the person in charge of their construction came to inform Luo Cheng at about the same time that they would have another day off today. And there were several turtles in the bucket in Luo Cheng's room.

"Hey, where did you get this turtle? Are you preparing to eat it yourself?"

"This~~, I dug it up at our construction site and am going to sell it. It's pure wild. Li Gong, do you want one? I'll make it cheaper for you."

"Pfft. Forget it, you kid is selling it to me. I didn't realize it. You're quite funny. Go sell it outside."

I couldn't help but laugh, mainly because Luo Cheng's statement was a bit funny. The main part of his construction site was built so high, and there was no need to dig foundations. Where could he dig turtles? And when digging the foundation of this land, if it is a field or a pond, it is really possible for you to dig out a turtle. But this place was originally an old factory that was pushed over for construction. Where did the turtle come from?

As a migrant worker, he knows how to dig turtles and sell them on the street. However, Li Gong felt that Luo Cheng was unprofessional and the turtle had to get some mud on it. It happens to be a rainy day, so what you catch out of the mud is better than what you dig at this construction site.

Luo Cheng didn't hear anything wrong with Gong Li's words, and thought Gong Li was very kind, so he asked him to hurry up and sell it. Also, the sooner you sell, the sooner you get the money. This soft-shelled turtle was easy for him to obtain anyway. Even if it was sold as farmed soft-shelled turtle according to what the old street said, it would still be a good deal for him.

No longer playing with his mobile phone, Luo Cheng immediately grabbed the rope that tied the turtle and followed Li Gong out. It was still early and there were many people buying vegetables, so it was easy to sell them.

At this time, many of the workers who lived in the next room were getting up. Luo Cheng carrying a few turtles out was so vivid. When you look at it, you will think of that, and when Luo Cheng came back yesterday, he brought back a bag of things. Maybe it was this damn turtle.

Usually everyone thinks Luo Cheng is quite honest, but they didn't expect that Huahua also has a lot of guts. But if he really has the ability to sell, everyone will really admire him. This is the way he is, he is too old~~.

In fact, this was not a routine at first, but it was actually done when laying foundations and building houses in some places, but it later turned into a routine.

Luo Cheng saw that his co-workers were looking at him a little strangely today. Could it be that people working at the construction site couldn't sell some things? It was raining and couldn't start work, so they couldn't think of ways to make some money on their own.

Carrying three turtles, Luo Cheng walked towards the old street. There were many people there in the morning, but there were also turtle sellers there, and they had scales. I don’t even have a scale, so I can only sell it by the scale.

When he arrived at the old street, Luo Cheng walked back and forth carrying the turtles. There was no space at the stall, so he could only stand outside the intersection and sell while squatting.

Don't mention it, this turtle is quite strong. Let it crawl and play on the ground, and it feels very powerful when pulled by the straw rope. You won't yell if you yell. In his own era, you didn't need to yell when you went to the black market. Mainly because he couldn't yell, so he just squatted on the curb at the intersection and finished walking.

"Young man, how do you sell this turtle?"

"Auntie, this was dug at the construction site. I am a worker at the construction site in front of you. These are wild ones. There are five hundred big ones and three hundred small ones."

"Dig it at the construction site? The construction site in front~~. Just asking, I can't afford to eat wild ones."

"Auntie, if you really want it, I can make it cheaper. The big one is four hundred."

"Forget it, I'd better go inside and buy it. I really can't afford the wild ones."

Not long after, a middle-aged woman came to ask about the price. Luo Cheng was very enthusiastic. He had been thinking about his words for a long time, and he said them smoothly. However, he took the initiative to reduce the price by 100, and they still didn't want to. Yes, even if she decides the price herself. Even if you offer a counteroffer of two to three hundred, he will consider it. After all, his cost is just some lard residue.

There was nothing I could do after the person left. The wild turtles mentioned on the phone were very expensive. Even if they were sold for five hundred a piece, they would still miss them. He didn't directly offer three hundred to the two workers last time, just because he wanted to have room for bargaining. Now he can only continue to play turtle.

"It really looks like a wild one. Fortunately, she has seen this trick before, but it's strange. If it's not wild, then what does a wild one look like?"

The woman who had just asked about the price of turtle in Luo Cheng walked into the old street, feeling puzzled in her heart. She originally saw that the soft-shell turtle held by a rope in the worker's hand looked like a wild one, but she couldn't handle it accurately, so she stepped forward to ask. It's just that the rhetoric was countless times more fake than the turtle on his hand.

The rain isn't heavy, so it doesn't affect everyone's mood. If you meet someone who likes poetry and picturesque scenery, and the gentle drizzle, you might even express some emotion.

But Luo Cheng had been squatting for a long time, and the turtle was still crawling very powerfully, pulling it back when it had crawled far away. There were also a few people who asked, but no deals were reached.

Luo Cheng was also thinking that if the wild ones were the same size as the domesticated ones, they would cost more than a hundred. There's just as much meat, so it shouldn't be so expensive. Next time someone asks, should I quote a cheaper price directly? Forget it, squat for a while, there is no work to do anyway, and it’s still early in the day.

There is a fruit stall opposite. It's not interesting just squatting and walking around, why not buy some fruit and sell it while eating.

Fruits are also cheap this season. Luo Cheng asked about the prices of many fruits. One piece of watermelon costs one pound, but it is not small in size. One watermelon costs more than ten yuan. At that time, there were no watermelon growers in the town. Otherwise, if he ate a melon from others, it would be to give others face if they dared ask him for money.

Bananas cost 50 pounds per dollar, which is cheaper than rice. This is good, and you can cut as much as you want. I just cut off a little bit and it cost six yuan per weighing.

Selling while squatting, eating bananas, it tastes really good. I will buy some to take back when I get the pig heads tomorrow. It can be explained that we bought them together in the city. Feed Zhao Qian, feed bananas~~hehe~~? ? Why hey.
