Chapter 36
"That can't be more than two cents at once. When your upper lip touches your lower lip, a box of matches will be gone. What about blackmailing people?"

"Sister, what do you say? I quote normally, and I'm not buying or selling by force. What does it have to do with blackmail? Besides, I also paid taxes at the security office, which is a legal operation. If you don't believe me, I will send you to the security department The person called, let's confront each other?"

Yao Suqiu looked at her coldly, this woman is probably used to being domineering at home, so the vegetable market is her own home?

Hearing that Yao Suqiu wanted to find the security department, the woman opened her mouth, her face a little embarrassed.

The aunt next door saw that the two were at a stalemate, so she quickly smoothed things over.

"Big sister, don't be angry. The cucumbers that Nier brought are really good. You can't see them in the whole vegetable market. It's reasonable to sell them at a higher price."

In order to prove that what she said was right, the aunt even weighed one in front of the woman for her to see.

"Yo, seven taels and four dollars, it's really big enough, little girl, since everyone thinks it's expensive, let's make it cheaper, a dime a catty, I'll weigh some and go home and try."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, someone spoke again.

"Don't sell it, my father said, real gold is not afraid of fire, a dime is a dime, not a penny is cheap."

"So tough? Let me weigh four." While speaking, I saw a young man in army green trousers and a white vest pushing a [-] bar to the booth.

Yao Suqiu neatly put four cucumbers into the weighing pan, "Three catties and four taels, one catty and one cent, a total of four cents and eight cents, you are the first one to buy and I will give you four cents and five cents. "

Three cents less, a box and a half of matches~
"Thank you very much then."

The man smiled, took out four ten-cent bills and a five-cent coin from his pocket, and handed them over. Before leaving, he took a look at Yao Suqiu, thinking that the little girl was quite interesting.

Seeing that the first person lost three cents, the elder sister in front looked a little unhappy, and hesitated to leave.

"Eldest sister, why don't you buy two less sticks and go back to try it, and come back after it's delicious?" Opening the door to do business, the price is set to death, and the attitude is better.

"Okay, weigh two for me." With the steps, she didn't hesitate.

"Seventy-five cents a catty, a total of [-] cents." Yao Suqiu weighed two cucumbers, and when the other party gave them the money, she put them in someone's basket.

People in this period always bring their own bags and baskets when they go to the market to buy things, which saves a lot of trouble.

"I'll give you two cents, and I'll save one cent."

As she spoke, the woman put twenty cents into the weighing pan, grabbed two cucumbers and put them in the basket, turned her head and left.

Yao Suqiu raised her eyebrows, she didn't worry about the penny, so she ignored it.

On the other hand, the aunt who looked at the woman's back curled her lips.

Everyone wants to be lively, once it starts, it doesn't stop one after another. The food basket in 1980 is still very poor. Everyone is very curious when they come across a new thing. As long as conditions permit, they will buy some and go back to try it.

Her back basket can only hold more than 90 kilograms at most, and it is sold out before noon.

"Hey, Nier, don't look at you coming late, this speed is much faster than auntie. The business is so good, if there are still at home, just ask someone to bring them. There are many people at noon and evening after get off work. Can sell again."

"Thank you for reminding me, auntie. I do still have a basket. I'm afraid it won't be sold out, so I will temporarily store it at a relative's house. I'll go back and memorize it."
