Chapter 3
Now that Jiang Hongjing has dropped out of school, Wang Lirong has nothing to do, but he doesn't give the eldest daughter a good look every day.

Jiang Hongjing didn't care too much, he got up early and went to bed late every day, not to mention all the housework, and ran to the shed as soon as he was free.

Wang Lirong looked at her daughter who was spinning like a spinning top all day long, and she was too embarrassed to show her a good face. This is already the case, what else can I do?Everyone is fate, why is the big daughter so hard? After sighing a few times, coupled with the occasional comfort from the husband and the daughter, I can gradually let go of my heart.

There is a fair on this day, before dawn, Jiang Hongjing gets up, does the laundry, cooks, and cleans up the housework. When he is done, he takes the vegetable basket to pick vegetables in the shed. When the sun rises, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother will go to the town to sell vegetables. The vegetable stalls should be occupied early, and there will be no space if you go late.If she came to pick it earlier, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang could go earlier.

The only things that can be sold now are cucumbers, celery, cauliflower, eggplant, long beans, etc. The price is not bad, and it will be difficult to sell them a month later. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are also worried about what kind of vegetables to grow.The summer vacation is coming soon, and after the summer vacation, children have to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees again.Fortunately, Hongzhi went to school in Xiaojiang Village, and there was no problem in delaying it for a month or two. The key was that Hongying was in a middle school in the county, not to mention the high tuition and miscellaneous fees, so he couldn't delay it.

"Hongjing, why don't you sleep more?" Jiang Qingliang pushed open the shed door and saw a basket of eggplants, and knew that Hongjing got up to pick them.This kid is so sensible.

"Dad, I'm not sleepy. Let's pick more vegetables today, and I'll sell them too. Finish picking early, and we'll occupy the stall after dinner."

"Don't go, the weather is not warm now, it will freeze you."

"I'm sixteen, Dad." As he said, he placed the picked cucumbers and sprinkled some water on them, so that they would be fresh after a long time.

After picking four kinds of vegetables, there were six baskets, weighing about a hundred catties. Wang Lirong was startled when she saw it, and said, "Can you sell so much?"

Jiang Hongjing replied from the side: "Mom, I will go too. Let's set up two stalls."

Wang Lirong wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and joined hands with Jiang Qingliang to carry the vegetable basket to the tricycle.

Now most people who go to the market to do small business still pedal tricycles, and not many people use motorcycle tricycles.She remembered that she didn't buy the tricycle at home until 2004.

The genius is bright, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but the stalls in the market are almost full.The three of them wandered around for a long time before finding a booth.Jiang Hongjing helped his parents set up the stall, "Mom and Dad, I'll find another stall, you should look at the stall first."

Wang Lirong grabbed her: "Just a steelyard, how do you sell it?"

Jiang Hongjing was stunned, and scolded himself inwardly, what an idiot, "Mom, I'll go around." It's not an option to sell vegetables at fairs like this. In his previous life, he grew vegetables at his home until 2004 before changing to growing flowers.Maybe Jiang's father is really suitable for planting flowers. The flowers in his hands can't be fiddled with. Everyone in the village knows that there is a flower planter in Xiaojiang Village.

There are not many people who come to the market early in the day, and most of those who come early to buy vegetables have family affairs.Most of the restaurants in the town were open, and Jiang Hongjing's eyes lit up. He could go to the restaurant and ask if he wanted food, so that his family could deliver food every day. Even if his family didn't have it, as long as the price was right, he could sell it to them wholesale.

I found a medium-sized restaurant, and there was only one middle-aged man working in it.

"Uncle."

The busy person glanced at Jiang Hongjing and said, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle, I want to ask, do you need vegetables? Our family grows vegetables."

The middle-aged uncle glanced at him in surprise, "Where is your lord?"

Jiang Hongjing heard this, and smiled: "Uncle, my parents sell vegetables at the market, and he has all kinds of vegetables. You can ask for a price. I will deliver them for you, and you can give me money after I bring them to you." , don’t worry about the dishes, I will definitely give you the best.”

"Hey, you little girl can really talk." The middle-aged man thought for a while, he really took a full moon wine banquet today, and was planning to pack up and go shopping, "That's okay, how about it, I I'll make an order for you, if you bring me all the dishes, the extra money will be yours."

Jiang Hongjing held back the excitement in his heart: "Okay, uncle, my name is Jiang Hongjing, and my family is in Xiaojiang Village."

"Girl, let's make an agreement. I'll pay by the catty. If you lose money, don't come to me. You have to send it to me before eight o'clock. I won't accept it if it's late."

"Hey, uncle promises to take care of it for you, don't worry." Jiang Hongjing replied crisply.

Jiang Hongjing took the menu, which was very detailed. There were 6 pieces of fish, about one half a catty; five catties of pork belly, twenty catties of potatoes, twenty catties of celery, twenty catties of eggplants, ten catties of cucumbers, five catties of tomatoes, Five catties of cauliflower, five catties of garlic sprouts, five catties of green onions, and five catties of long beans.There is also a price tag on the back.With a cursory glance, "Uncle, I'm going. I'll send it to you in a while. What's your surname?"

"My surname is Yang."

"See you later, Uncle Yang."

Jiang Hongjing took the menu and hurried back to his stall to explain to his parents.Jiang Qingliang took the list and turned it over and over again: "Is this reliable? It doesn't mean that you think your kid is lying to you, right?"

Jiang Hongjing smiled: "Dad, you can accompany me to buy it, how will you know if you don't try it." He was reluctant to let the child not be caught by a wolf, and besides, he is in the town, if he fools people casually, will he be able to do business in the future? ?

"I'll go with you, I believe in my own daughter." Wang Lirong took the menu and said to Jiang Qingliang: "You look after the stall first, don't let people fool you and give you more."

Jiang Qingliang gave her a white look: "This kind of thing can never happen again." Once, Jiang Qingliang inadvertently gave someone five catties of vegetables, which was missed by his wife.

"Dad, first weigh what we have. Mom and I will get it when we come back. The long beans will weigh two catties more." Jiang Hongjing walked a few steps, then came back and told Father Jiang.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother often go to the market, and they basically know each other. Seeing her buying so many vegetables, Jiang Hongjing rushed to answer, "I have something to treat at home tomorrow. There will be no market tomorrow, so I bought it today."

Wang Lirong took a look at her daughter. She only knew that the second daughter had a lot of heart, and everyone said that the eldest daughter was honest and honest. Isn't this eldest girl also very thoughtful?
Jiang Hongjing saw his mother's gaze and grinned.

It was finished in less than half an hour, and the price given by Uncle Yang was even lower than the normal selling price. However, they bought a lot, and some of them were basically the first deals, earning ten cents less per catty. Yes, I gave it all.

Wang Lirong and her daughter took them to their own stalls and weighed them one by one, probably because they knew each other for a good reason.

Father Jiang rode his family's small tricycle to deliver the food with Jiang Hongjing.

Jiang Hongjing stood at the door of the store and shouted, "Uncle Yang, I've brought you food."

A person came out from inside, "Hey, girl, you are really sharp. Let me take a look." The shopkeeper looked at everything and nodded in satisfaction. "The dishes are pretty good, let's move them to the kitchen."

"Uncle Yang, please call me."

"No, I can trust you."

Jiang Hongjing stopped the father who moved the dishes, "Uncle Yang, let's weigh it, I can rest assured after you weigh it."

The shopkeeper smiled, "Okay, it's up to you, call it."

Finally, when the long beans were weighed, they were two catties more. Jiang Hongjing said, "Uncle Yang, the beans are from my own family. I asked my dad to weigh two catties more for you."

"That's not okay. The long beans cost one yuan and five catties. I have to give you the money."

Jiang Hongjing hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Yang, don't tell me, I think your business is also good. If there is no market in the future, it will be inconvenient for you to buy vegetables. Call our house the night before, and we will be able to give you the next morning." You bring fresh vegetables, most of them grow vegetables in my house, but it’s all there.”

"I said you are a great girl." This was said to Jiang's father, and Jiang Qingliang looked at his daughter very proudly.

Jiang Hongjing left a phone call to the shopkeeper, settled the accounts, and finally spared the shopkeeper a change of seventy cents.

The shop owner seemed very satisfied, and asked him to go to the market to buy it by himself. It was estimated to be at this price, and he had to suffer. This little girl surnamed Jiang is really good.

The father and daughter returned to the stall, and Jiang's father smiled from ear to ear and took out the money, as well as a red ticket.One hundred yuan is red.

You earn 35 cents for a catty of fish, 5 cents for a catty of meat, 70 cents for a catty of potatoes, [-] cents for a catty of tomatoes, [-] cents for a catty of garlic sprouts, and [-] cents for a catty of green onions. This is not even my own food.According to the price he gave, the celery was [-] yuan, the eggplant was [-] yuan, the cucumber was [-] yuan, the cauliflower was [-] yuan, and the long beans were [-] yuan. After excluding the capital, the net profit of this transaction was [-] yuan and [-] cents.

The number of people at the fair gradually increased, and Jiang Hongjing was not idle. She ran all over the restaurants in the town, and left a phone number for those who needed to buy vegetables.Two of them ordered food and earned more than ten yuan. Although it was not much, it was a good start.

With these small orders in the morning, the vegetables at home sold out very quickly. At about eleven o'clock, the vegetables were sold out.Father Jiang was pedaling a tricycle, and Jiang Hongjing and Wang Lirong were sitting in the carriage, lighting dimes.Jiang Qingliang also asked in front: "Go home and order again, don't be blown away by the wind."

How could the mother and daughter listen to him? Excluding the change, they earned a total of one hundred and thirty-five yuan.

"If you can earn so much money every day, you will go to school after the summer vacation." Wang Lirong said while holding Jiang Hongjing's hand. After staying at home for only a few days, her daughter's hands were already rough.

"Mom, let's pay the bill first, and then we'll talk about it after paying the bill." Jiang Hongjing said.

The tricycle moved forward quickly, and the surrounding scenery quickly fell backwards. The young trees that had been growing for two days, sprouted new green leaves, and a gust of wind blew in, shaking the treetops back and forth, and the wind blew on the face to warm it.

Jiang Hongjing leaned half on his mother's body, drowsy, and such a day was pretty good.
