Chapter 7 starts today
After his cousin left, Chen Yang went directly to the stall rented by his father. He estimated that he would spend time here until midnight tonight. There was plenty of time, so it would not take less than an hour and a half to finish shopping here.
When we arrived at our stall, neither my parents were there. There were people in the vegetable piles on the left and in the middle. Only on the right was a pile of unorganized vegetable bags. It seemed that this was the one my father rented.
A middle-aged man saw him wandering in front of the stall and still standing there, so he walked out from behind and asked, "Young man, what are you doing?"
Anyone who came at this time was definitely not buying goods, so his tone did not appear particularly polite or enthusiastic.
Chen Yang smiled at him first and said, "I am Lao Chen's son. Is this the stall my dad works in?"
"Oh?, Lao Chen's son?" The man's face immediately put on a smile, "Yes, this is it. I have long heard that he has a son who is in college. He is really talented. What are you doing?
Are you coming over to play during the summer vacation?"
"Yes," Chen Yang smiled and didn't explain much. He looked at the pile of vegetable buns and prepared to sort them out.
In his previous life, he was unwilling to do such hard work, and his parents wouldn't let him do it. Now that he is a second-generation man, he will naturally not be so ignorant.
The placement of vegetables is also very particular. You need to put a package of each vegetable at the front so that people who come to buy goods know what is sold here. As for the rest, they are arranged along a line, such as
Carrots and cabbages, which are relatively heavy, should be placed in the front, so that they have to walk less distance when carrying them, which can save effort. Other small cabbages such as cabbage, garlic sprouts or lighter ones should be placed in the back, so that it does not take more steps to carry.
It will be too tiring.
After sweating for more than twenty minutes, Chen Yang finally laid out all the goods. He raised his shoulders and wiped his sweat. He looked at the vegetables in front of him and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
There are not many varieties of vegetables here, mainly white radish, cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower and garlic sprouts. Not only the own stalls, but also the stalls basically sell these varieties. Customers who want to buy this kind of goods also know that they need to
Just come over when you are there. This is another manifestation of the cluster effect.
"It's okay, young man. I've seen a lot of college students who come here to visit relatives, but not many are willing to help with work like you."
The man just came over and handed him a thermos cup, "Come on, have a drink of water, this is your dad's cup."
People who do this kind of business earn money from hard work, and they have to count every penny clearly. Naturally, they don't buy any mineral water. They boil it at home and carry it in a thermos bottle to drink.
"Thank you," Chen Yang took it, picked up the cup and looked at it. Sure enough, it was the labor insurance cup issued by the original work unit. This cup accompanied his father for more than ten years and was thrown away after his death.
In his previous life, he would have disliked even his father's cup, because he never drank or ate from other people's things. Now, he opened the lid and took a sip.
Well, my mouth is still full of tea foam. Dad's habit of drinking low-quality strong tea has never changed.
I put down the cup and lay down on the second-hand reclining chair in the back. After resting for a while, I saw my father riding a tricycle coming this way not far away. The car was full of vegetable dumplings, but I didn't see my mother.
Chen Yang immediately stood up and walked over,
"Why are you here?" Dad gave him a strange look. When he came to Guangzhou during the summer vacation last year, this kid only came to the stall once and then refused to come again. When he saw the goods at his stall, they were already stacked.
Okay, and it still looks good, which makes it even more strange.
Chen Yang smiled, but before he could say anything, several people at the stall next to him started talking,
"Old Chen, you are so lucky that your son has helped you lay out all the goods,"
"That's right, my son can't even help the soy sauce bottle when it overturns at home. It would be nice to have him half the time,"
"Your son is promising at first sight. He is also a college student. Lao Chen, he will be blessed in the rest of his life."
"Hey, what's there to boast about doing something good?" Father Chen waved his hands, but there was an uncontrollable smile on his face, and his squinted eyes could shine.
Chen Yang laughed cooperatively and started to move the goods down. The goods in this cart were iron cabbage, which is cabbage. It was quite heavy and needed to be placed in the front. He just thought of it, so every time he rowed the goods
There are only two bags on display, so it’s no problem to squeeze them out now, as long as it doesn’t affect walking in the aisle.
When Dad Chen saw it, he quickly started to move the goods. The two of them started to move, and within a few seconds they had all the goods arranged. Then he looked at Chen Yang and said with a straight face, "There is still a load of goods to be pulled, so you can take a look here."
With."
Chen Yang hurriedly said, "I'll go with you. Anyway, there's no need to worry about losing goods here, and it's faster if there are more than one person."
This is true. Not to mention a few packages of goods, some people even carry hundreds of thousands of goods in plastic bags and wander around the market. Safety is absolutely guaranteed. The security teams in this market are all young men from their own village.
When the villagers were a little chaotic in the early years, whether it was petty theft or fighting, if they were caught, they would be killed. As time went by, no one dared to mess around here at all.
Father Chen glanced at him blankly, his face showing some relief. Then he turned around and got on the tricycle and rode back. Chen Yang quickly followed behind.
I made another trip and finally got all the goods back.
Not long after, Chen's mother also came over. When she saw Chen Yang, she breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then shouted, "I said where have you been? I didn't see you when I went back just now, and I didn't answer the phone for fear of getting lost."
Father Chen immediately rolled his eyes, "Where could such a big man get lost? What a fuss."
Chen Yangze quickly took out his cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, there were two missed calls from his mother. He smiled and said, "I was moving goods just now, so I didn't hear them."
"Hey, you moved this thing?"
Mother Chen ignored Father Chen and looked at the neat packages on the stall with a smile on her face.
My son has grown up!
After saying a few words, Chen Ma started to get busy. On the one hand, arranging the goods, the incoming goods also need to be reorganized, which is very cumbersome, so women usually do it.
How to organize it?
For example, with cabbage, you need to take out the goods one by one, peel off the outer layer of rotten leaves, and then put them back neatly. Another example is cauliflower. A few have black spots on the surface and need to be peeled off with a knife. Others
They also need to be cleaned up more or less. Otherwise, when the people who buy the goods come over and see that other people’s goods are beautiful and neat, but yours looks like they were picked up from the garbage dump, who will buy it?
While my mother was busy with her work, Chen Yang was not idle either. He helped take out the dishes hurriedly. After his mother had cleaned up a batch, he put them back and put them back in place. The previous placement was not in vain. They could be placed in advance and now they are being cleaned up.
It's easy to take and put away a lot.
At this time, it was Chen's father's time to rest. He took out a can bottle from his bag, which contained bulk high-strength liquor. He also took out a bag of home-fried peanuts and drank them one by one.
Had a drink,
It’s not that Dad is lazy, but that he is the main force in the middle of the night. Mom has to sell goods, and Dad delivers the goods to the car for others. If you don’t rest now, there will be no food in the middle of the night.
Work hard. If you make a mistake, old customers will not come back to you. There is no way. The competition in the market is too great. The small bosses of each stall must do their best to ensure that they will not lose money.
As for making money, it depends on whether God will reward you or not. The wholesale price of vegetables changes too fast. A heavy rain can cause the price to rise or fall. No one can pat their chest and guarantee that they will make money. The year before last, my cousin Yang Yong was...
Because I misjudged the market price, I brought in a cart of cabbage from outside. As a result, I lost all the capital I had saved for several years and my whole spirit was shattered.
The disproportionate amount of effort and gain is the norm in this business.
Chen Yang looked at his parents in front of him and became more and more determined to change this kind of life.
