Chapter 10 City Z
The village is thirteen miles away from the town, and it also needs to climb two slopes, so it is not very smooth to walk. Moreover, the roads in the village and Kangwang are all dirt roads, and the pits are bumpy and not difficult to walk. Peng Wen almost bloomed when he was sitting on his bicycle.
Fortunately, Xianwei has good driving skills and is very fast. He has arrived in the town in half an hour. The name of the town is Chengqian.
It was already 7:30 at this moment, and it was half an hour before the first bus left in the town.
"Xin Weigra, put the bicycle at the station first! Let's go eat something first." Peng Wen said to Xian Wei with a wooden barrel.
To put it bluntly, the station is a large courtyard, with only three buses that are about to be scrapped, and the remaining areas are used to pile up dilapidated.
Xianwei nodded, put the bicycle under a poplar tree, then locked it with an iron chain, and left when it was confirmed that it was firm.
"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you?" Xian Wei said with a smile.
There is nothing to say about Xianwei and Peng Wen’s relationship. Peng Wen grew up with Xianwei’s butt in his previous life, and his relationship was very strong.
Peng Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "Today I asked you to accompany me to City Z. To put it bluntly, I asked you to help. How can I treat you to you? I'll treat you!"
"Okay! I'll do it! I'm saying I still have some money, so you can save the money for yourself!" Xian Wei led Peng Wen to a breakfast stall west of the station.
"Give me a dollar fried dough stick, five steamed buns, and two bowls of eight treasure porridge." The county party committee shouted to the busy people in the house.
"Wenwen, this is your first time going to Z City?" Xian Wei asked with a smile at a table.
Peng Wen nodded with a smile.
"You have changed." Xianwei said, "I returned to his old expression.
Peng Wen was stunned, then smiled and asked, "Why did I change? It seems that there is no!"
Xian Wei said: "In the past, you were so happy that you couldn't sleep all night when you came to the mayor. Now when you go to Z City, you don't say a word and are not moved at all, as if there is no temptation to you there. This is not like your personality."
Peng Wen was stunned and was found to have changed. Yes! He was so happy when he came to the mayor before. Now he didn't react at all when he went to City Z, and the change was too big.
Peng Wen smiled and said, "Who said that I didn't fall asleep last night. As for not speaking, it's actually very simple. It's not that I don't want to speak, but that I'm sleepy."
At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties came forward with two bowls of eight-treasure porridge, and then took two more small spoons.
It is said to be eight treasure porridge, but it is actually peanuts, rice, red dates, and red beans. This bowl of porridge costs 20 cents and is not cheap at all.
In fact, the best breakfast shop in the town is not near the station, but near the cinema. In Peng Wen’s past memory, it was in the cinema, but now it is at the entrance of the farmers’ market.
In other words, the current farmers' market will be converted into a cinema soon, and the breakfast shop business at that time was very popular!
"What are you thinking?" Peng Wen was thinking about it and heard Xian Wei's voice sound.
"It's okay!" Peng Wen said while drinking the eight-treasure porridge in the bowl.
From time to time, fried dough sticks and steamed buns were served. With the taste of nostalgia, Peng Wen couldn't help but wonder, would he monopolize the industry? The market is not very good now, but there is nothing to say about the business in a few years.
After dinner, Peng Wen paid a total of one yuan and nine yuan, and Peng Wen gave two yuan.
At about eight o'clock, Peng Wen and Xianwei took the bus to Z City on time. The bus was old-fashioned and there was a very pungent smell of gasoline inside, while the ticket price was three yuan. There were very few people on the bus, only more than a dozen.
The distance from town to city z is at least 100 miles, which takes more than three hours. The speed is very slow and the road is not very smooth.
"It's almost there, now it's the turntable." Xian Wei said, pointing to a huge flower pond in front of him.
Peng Wen poked his head out and saw that the huge flower pond was in the center of the intersection. There was a huge stone pillar about five meters high in the flower pond, and a red ball was above the stone pillar.
When Peng Wen saw this, he not only smiled. This ball is now the standard of Z City, but it was changed after 2007 and turned into a vertical statue, which is the horse trampling on the flying swallow. In other words, after 2007, the city trampling on the flying swallow is the standard of tourist cities.
At this time, the front line was not yet developed, and it was more like a sleeping girl in Peng Wen's eyes.
City z was originally a county town, but was reformed at the beginning of this year. At the same time, it proved that City z will be developed in the shortest time.
There is mining in City Z. The top three coal mines in China are in City Z. In addition, City Z has the largest thermal power plant in Asia and some famous tourist attractions. These are the main industries in City Z in the future.
After driving forward for more than ten minutes, the car had entered the eastern suburbs of Z City. Most of the houses in the eastern suburbs are second and third floor buildings, few of them are fourth floors, and they all look dilapidated.
After walking west for about five minutes, there was another turntable. This turntable is very famous. There is a white statue in the middle of the turntable. The theme of the statue is a woman and a child. The woman is holding a book to explain something to the child. (I believe some of them have guessed it.)
"Anyone got off the bus?" the woman in her forties sold tickets turned around and asked.
"Let's get off the car!" Peng Wen looked at Xian Wei.
Xianwei was stunned and asked in confusion: "Aren't we going to find our second aunt? She is still far from here."
Peng Wen smiled slightly and said, "I have other things to do. I'm going to our aunt's place later." He said that, and got up and walked down the car.
Although Xianwei was puzzled, he still got off the car.
"Now Viagra, I have two things to come to Z City. One is to go to our aunt's place, and the other is to sell fish." Peng Wen said with a smile.
"Selling fish?" Xian Wei frowned and was even more puzzled.
Peng Wen said: "I have a classmate who bought two goldfishes in Z Market. It is said that the price is very expensive. I, these fish, are here to explore the market."
Xian Wei laughed helplessly and said, "What are you thinking all day long? Will someone buy such wild fish in the reservoir? Let's go, don't waste time. Did you have something to ask our aunt? If you are too late, it will be dark when you get home."
Peng Wen knew that he would not believe anything about Xian Wei. Since that's the case, it would be better to show it to him. Peng Wen pointed to the west and said, "I heard from my classmates that there is a flower, bird and fish market in the west. Let's go in and take a look. Even if it can't be sold, it's better to take a walk around." He said that.
Changping Market, Z City Flower, Bird and Fish Market, and there are some antiques, only on Saturdays and Sundays.
Before entering the Changping market, I heard a burst of noise from the market. When I came to the door, I looked inside. Although it was not crowded, there were no fewer people. There were at least a hundred people on the street that was more than 100 meters long.
Changping Market is an east-west road with a wide road. The middle of the road is made of stone, and it is now occupied by some vendors. On both sides of the road are many middle-aged people and old men setting up stalls here.
Peng Wen looked carefully and found that there were two fish sellers. The fish they sold were all golden carp, which was just this one. The others were some small birds selling, and those small birds were just common in the village, and more were antiques.
Peng Wen found a place without a man on the north side of the road, opened the lid of the bucket and looked at it. Fortunately, none of the thirty quiet fish died, and even turned over.
"Little kid, are you here to sell fish?" An old man on Peng Wen's right asked with a smile at the quiet fish in Peng Wen's bucket.
Peng Wen nodded with a smile and said, "I'm here to visit relatives. I just took some fish to see if I could sell it for money."
The old man smiled and said nothing.
"Don't move here, I'll buy a pack of cigarettes." Xian Wei reminded Peng Wen.
"Go!" Peng Wen said with a smile.
A child set up a stall and immediately attracted passers-by. Many people stopped and looked at the quiet fish in Peng Wen's wooden barrel. A white-haired old man asked, "Little boy, are you fishing in the reservoir?"
Peng Wen nodded with a smile.
The old man squatted down and looked at him again, asking, "What are you planning to sell?"
Peng Wen asked: "Do you want to buy it?"
The old man nodded and smiled and said, "I want to buy it, but it depends on your price. I can't afford it if you bid too much."
Peng Wen was happy and there was a chance. Peng Wen smiled and said, "I don't know the price either. If you want to buy it, just take a price, it's your own fishing anyway."
The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, "You came from the east wing. The fare for a trip costs three yuan, and the round trip is six yuan. That's it! I'll buy you ten yuan, how about one yuan per dollar? At least you can earn back the travel expenses."
The front of the city belongs to the east of City Z, so people in Z call it the East Chamber, and the accent is very different from those in Z.
Peng Wen nodded repeatedly. He didn't expect the old man to offer a price of one dollar. Peng Wen took out a few plastic bags from his pocket. He bought the plastic bags with the remaining dime when he ate breakfast in the morning, and bought three.
Peng Wen carefully put the ten quiet fish in it, then got some water, and then handed it to the old man.
The old man took the fish, took out a brand new dollar in his pocket and handed it to Peng Wen, and said with a smile: "Will the child still come to sell fish in the future?"
Peng Wen put the money on, regained his excitement and said, "It depends on the situation! Not everyone is like you. If someone buys me, I will come naturally. If I don't come, wouldn't it be a waste of travel expenses."
The old man smiled and nodded, then left.
"Little kid, give me five items, the price is the same as that uncle." A middle-aged woman in her thirties said with a smile.
"Okay aunt!" Peng Wen caught five more fish and gave it to the aunt.
"I haven't seen this fish before, what kind of fish is this?" an old man asked curiously.
Peng Wen took the money from the aunt and explained: "This is what I caught in the reservoir, it is a wild fish."
"Not bad!" said the old man quite satisfied: "Give me a few more, and the price is the same."
In less than ten minutes, thirty fish were gone, and some people hadn't even bought them.
Seeing the bucket empty, Peng Wen felt like he was dreaming. He thought it was not easy to sell, but he didn't expect it to be sold out in an instant. Sitting on the ground, Peng Wen recalled carefully, and he ended the two key points.
1. Quiet fish is a fresh thing. Many people in the city have never seen it. As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare. This is the truth.
Second, I am a child, but a child a hundred miles away. If a child runs a hundred miles away, everyone will take care of him. This will also be the previous scene. If I were not a child, even if there were few quiet fish, it would not be like this.
"Wenwen, what's going on?" Xian Wei walked up to him, smiling and asked.
Peng Wen stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Xianwei was stunned and asked, "Let's go? Are you not selling fish anymore?"
Peng Wen smiled and said, "It's sold out."
