Chen Xiaoduan rushed to the auditorium of the "Provincial Folk Art Association" early in the pre-arranged three-wheeler to attend the artistic performances and the award ceremony.
Luo Xuan and her split up and went straight to the Erxianqiao Frog Market in Rongcheng City.
Go to the show and go on stage to receive an award.
And then take a photo with the leaders, standing in front of the black and white camera?
The worst thing is that at the end of the day, I'll have another meal with someone else.
In Luo Xuan's eyes, this kind of thing is not as satisfying as going to the frog market and selling it back for a sum of money!
therefore,
Luo Xuan then asked Chen Xiaoduan to attend the award ceremony alone.
If the organizing committee allows it, just take back your own trophy and certificate.
wrong!
It's okay in the afternoon. I can go to the treasurer of the Folk Art Association and pay the fare for my arrival.
By the way, I'll also collect the money for the return ticket.
Well, this is very important!
They say spring is good in February.
But in February, there are no mushrooms for sale in the market, and occasionally there may be hot springs in the mountains.
Only occasionally do a few mushrooms sprout.
In the Erxianqiao Market in Chengdu, there are people selling everything.
But when it comes to selling mushrooms, it’s really hard to find them.
this time,
In order to sell the mushrooms in the space, Luo Xuanke spent a lot of money: he even spent 15 yuan, 37 cents, and bought a small kerosene stove in the department store of the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
As for saying,
Why buy a kerosene stove and spend a lot of money?
That was also a characteristic of this period: all prices were carefully calculated by the Planning Commission based on production costs.
The supply and marketing cooperatives can only follow the retail prices set by the Planning Commission and the Price Committee.
You can't afford a penny more, and you can't afford a penny less. According to this price standard, go out and sell the goods.
Located in the south of Chengdu, Erxianqiao is a large frog market.
And it is said that this is just one of 7 or 8 frog markets of similar size in Chengdu.
Especially one of them, called Lotus Pond Market, is so huge in scale!
At this Erxianqiao frog market.
The crowds are bustling and crowded.
After all, it is now difficult to obtain food in the production team. This has caused countless members to flock to the city in search of work.
Since they are in a provincial capital, they have no food supply relationship.
so,
These migrant workers who have poured into the city need to go to this frog market to buy all kinds of materials they need.
When there are more people, various needs become more complicated.
Therefore, at the Erxianqiao Frog Market, there is nothing unexpected but nothing unseen.
All kinds of daily commodities are available here.
Clothes sold by the pound are also rags sold by the pound.
Stacks of old newspapers, piles of tobacco.
Pickled salted fish, smoked bacon, smoked sausages, fake beef pretending to be old sow pork...
Those who sell ancestral secret recipes, those who specialize in treating infertility, those who make powerful pills for bruises, tiger bones, musk and leopard heads...
That's everything.
On-site activities include weaving bamboo dragontails, weaving crickets, making sesame shell cats, painting sugar paintings, pulling sesame candy, knocking tin candies, selling candied haws, and fried cakes...
It is simply all-encompassing, diverse, and full of wonders.
It is indeed a big place!
The things sold in such a small frog market are better than those sold on the streets during the Chinese New Year in the entire Hongxing Commune.
It’s even more lively and prosperous!
Needless to say, there are stalls selling higher-end items.
Let’s talk about the guy selling rat poison earlier.
The lively scenes he caused were enough to make the lonely and bored members of the rural production team watch him all day long:
“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by! Check out my secret rat poison that has been passed down from generation to generation for 18 generations!
Known as the five-step fall.
As long as your rat takes my medicine, if it dares to take five steps forward, if it doesn't fall, my uncle will!"
At that moment, there were some onlookers who were looking for something good, and they laughed and said, "What if the rat eats your rat poison and walks back?"
The hawker selling rat poison glared: "Comrade, you are just trying to make a point, aren't you?
I said, why do you look so familiar?
It turns out that you are from the production team next door, that stubborn donkey that won’t lead you away and is picking up the goods that are going backwards.”
There are also people who enjoy watching the fun and don't mind it being a big deal.
One sentence popped up from the crowd: "Hey, I'm talking about selling fake rat medicine. Does your stuff work or not?"
The rat poison seller was furious, "Come here, try a few pills, I will give them to you for free! I guarantee that the first pill you eat will taste good."
After eating the second one, hey, it's still a little sweet.
Eat the 3rd or 4th pill, and I’ll make sure you finish playing! Come on, come on, don’t leave, comrade, I’ll give you a handful and let you try it...”
I saw these people who were running around and selling fake medicines. They were very eloquent and lively.
There were bursts of cheers among the crowd...
No wonder!
Many people are used to living in big cities and would rather suffer a little in the city than go back to remote rural areas.
Being in a big city can open your eyes!
If nothing else, let’s just say that every day we see the wonders of free people and the weirdness of free things.
You can also eat sauerkraut for free...
This is not,
At a stall not far from Luoxuan, a guy was shouting: "We no longer sell sauerkraut, we sell sauerkraut today! I will give it to everyone to try for free. I come from the south of Taihu Lake and produce authentic sauerkraut."
Industrial sauerkraut.
You take it back and cook the noodles, mix it with the dumplings, and eat it how you like, how sour and refreshing it is!
The old man will not cough after eating it, and the child will not lose it after eating it! If you buy it for 2 cents per catty, you will not suffer a loss; if you buy it for 3 cents and 1 tael, you will not be deceived..."
Bashu Province itself is a famous kimchi province.
Here, no matter whether it is in the city or in the countryside, every household basically has 1 or 2 pickle jars in it.
This guy actually came to Bashu territory with sauerkraut to sell?
Everyone doesn't know if he is just showing off his brain or if he has real abilities. New
In short,
No matter how hard he shouts or how sensational he yells, most people come to his stall to watch the excitement.
I actually paid for it, but I don’t have any of it.
In the end, this guy had to resort to his big move: "Come, come, come, everyone comes and eats for free, tastes for free!
As long as I can make everyone happy today, I've just spent all my money, so what's the problem?
Travel around the world and make friends. The days when I rely on big guys to make a fortune are definitely in the future!"
As he shouted, he came out.
The crowd of people watching suddenly became noisy.
It wasn't that these people were interested in hearing his shouting, but they were attracted by his big move of "eating for free".
Immediately, many people with baskets on their backs and baskets rushed up to grab the sauerkraut from the man's stall.
One by one, they grabbed the sauerkraut and stuffed it into their mouths...
To be honest, are they also afraid of salty throat?
Hey~ It really counts: Don’t take advantage of the bastard if you have an advantage.
If you don't pick up the bargains, you will suffer a big loss on this trip...
"Gululu——"
Luo Xuan got into his stance and started practicing.
First try placing a sack on the ground, and then place 4 or 50 large mushrooms on it.
I was in the hotel earlier and walked out of a small glass fish tank.
There were about 10 angler fish inside.
Since this is a provincial capital and he has never been there, Luo Xuan is not sure: Do any of the people here know the goods?
Even if someone recognizes the angler fish, they don't know what price they should be sold for.
Never mind it!
Anyway, the main purpose of going to the market this time is to sell mushrooms and become a young mushroom seller.
As for this angler fish, whether it can be sold or not is not that important.
If it can be sold, of course it would be better.
It's a matter of raking grass and hunting rabbits, by the way.
On the small kerosene stove next to him, the water in the pot was bubbling hot.
What was cooked inside was a mushroom that had been torn into strips by itself.
Set up the stall and cook the mushrooms.
Luo Xuan didn't even say anything, he just squatted there and looked around to watch the excitement.
Not long after setting things up, a woman came over and asked: "Young man, how do you sell these mushrooms?"
Luo Xuan said: "I won't sell it."
The woman glared at Luo Xuan: "If you don't want to sell it, what are you doing here?"

Luo Xuan said: "I'll show it off for fun, okay?"
The woman still refused to give up, pointing to the bubbling kerosene stove and asked: "Young man, what is boiling in that pot of yours? Is it for everyone to taste?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, "That's the lunch I cooked for myself."
"I think you are a melon boy!"
Seeing that there was no advantage to be had, the mother-in-law had no choice but to leave cursingly, "I paid fifty cents. The stall fee is just for fun. You coaxed me to do it, and my heart aches."
The woman just now had a sallow face, and her clothes were covered in dirt.
People like her are not their target customers at first glance.
If he dared to let her taste it, Luo Xuan estimated that this woman would dare to pick up the pot and drink it all in one gulp...
That's why Luo Xuan treated her like this, ignoring her, so as not to cause trouble to himself.
"Huh?"
"What is this?!"
A young woman passed by carrying a basket and pointed at the mushrooms in front of Luo Xuan in surprise.
He said: "It looks like a mushroom when I look at it from the left, but it still looks like a mushroom when I look at it from the right. But..."
Luo Xuan chuckled: "This is a really beautiful lesbian. I always use two eyes to see things at the same time. So, I can tell you with certainty that it is a mushroom."
"But why is it so big?"
The young woman tilted her head, with confusion on her face, "I have never seen such a big one in my life."
Luo Xuan said: "I have never seen such a big provincial capital in my life! This mushroom is bigger. As long as it doesn't grow old and tastes good, it will be fine. If it is bigger, it will be more enjoyable to eat!
"
The young woman nodded, "You are right! Oh, including the way you described my appearance before...but how do I know if it tastes good?"
Luo Xuan reached out from the kerosene stove and picked up a pair of chopsticks... Of course, this pair of chopsticks was also borrowed by him in the hotel's dining hall.
Passing the chopsticks to the young woman, Luo Xuan said: "If it tastes good or not, you have to experiment to find out. Try it and you will know, won't you?"
The young woman took the chopsticks and looked at them carefully.
With just this small movement of hers, Luo Xuan could tell that this woman's family conditions must be pretty good:
She is checking whether this pair of chopsticks can be used cleanly!
Being poor is important, being poor is important.
People who are too poor can even struggle to fill their stomachs, so how can they be particular about it?!
"Wow--"
"What kind of mushroom is this? Why is it so delicious?"
A small mushroom was eaten by the young woman.
Wait a moment,
Her eyes widened immediately, "Our family loves mushrooms! After all, we have eaten many varieties of mushrooms, but we have never tasted anything so delicious!"
"How much does it cost per pound?"
The young woman asked: "If I buy more, can you give me a cheaper price?"
Luo Xuan said: "My mushrooms don't matter the weight or the number of flowers. One mushroom costs 3 yuan and 50 yuan."
The reason why I want to ask for 3.5 yuan.
There is a certain reason for this: everything related to food is increasing in price now.
——And it’s still soaring!
Chengcheng is a provincial capital after all, so the prices for any agricultural and sideline products are naturally not comparable to those of the small Red Star Commune.
In addition, things are more expensive now than they are scarce.
That's why Luo Xuan set a price first, 3 yuan and 5 yuan a flower, wanting to test the market and test the spending power of the customers here.
The young woman was a little surprised when she heard Luo Xuan's offer.
But it definitely didn’t scare anyone!
I saw her taking the small satchel off her shoulder and preparing to take money from it.
The young woman unzipped her satchel and asked, "Little brother, can you give me a cheaper price? If you can make it cheaper, I will buy a few more flowers."
Seeing the first sale, there were signs of a deal being made.
At this moment,
There was a man passing by, all dressed in dirty clothes.
Hearing what Luo Xuan said, he immediately muttered: "What kind of rotten mushrooms can be sold for 3.5 yuan a piece? How much does pork cost per catty? Only a fool would buy it."
Now!
The young woman who was about to bargain with Luo Xuan suddenly became furious: "You have a bag on your head, you don't have much money in your pocket, and you talk a lot of nonsense!
In your eyes, you only know that there is only pork? One or two ginseng can still be sold for 50 yuan!
Who are you calling stupid? I am the stupid one! But why does my man love such a stupid person like me?
I'm willing to buy one flower for 5 yuan, what's wrong?
This is the money I spend on my family, you have no control over it. Wherever you can cool down, stay there! Hurry up and drink a bowl of pig lung soup that costs 3 cents a bowl, and rinse your stinky mouth!"
After scolding that ignorant guy.
The young woman took out a stack of big unity, bent down and handed it to Luo Xuan, "Give me 50 yuan! Let's make an agreement first, it's 5 yuan a piece, and I won't take it if it's cheaper."
Damn...
Luo Xuan's eyes were completely opened to the fierceness of Sichuan girls.
The man who was scolded so badly by the young woman had no choice but to hide his face and run away after being scolded by her...
actually,
There are ignorant guys like him everywhere.
This kind of person can neither add to the cake of others nor provide help in times of need.
But if you want him to hold back and ruin other people's good deeds, his ability is really first-rate.
Following the first customer, this young woman with a bit of arrogance, I don't know if she is doing it out of grudge or to be arrogant.
Or maybe she thought Luo Xuan was handsome and had a sweet mouth.
In short,
Anyway, she bought her 10 mushrooms for 5 yuan each.
Ever since I made my first transaction.
Then Luo Xuan's mushrooms were all priced at 5 yuan each.
Never raise prices!
Don't worry about the price, as long as the product is good enough.
After all, this is the richest land in the land of abundance, the richest place.
The spending power of customers cannot be matched by small places.
Moreover, these customers have complex compositions, and each of them buys mushrooms for different purposes: to give to relatives and friends, to give to leaders, to give the elders in the family a taste...
therefore,
The mushrooms I took out this time were sold at a relatively high price.
But with the support of the strong consumption power of the people of Chengdu, these 4,50 mushrooms on the sack.
Luo Xuan didn't use it for a while and sold it all.
Not to mention that mushrooms sell quickly, but even if I took 10 angler fish, some people who knew the goods bought them all in one handful...
Hidden away in the city.
Most of the really talented people are gathered in big cities.
Previously, Luo Xuan was afraid that no one would recognize this thing.
Unexpectedly,
There are quite a few people here who know the goods...
How careless!
If I had known this was the case, I might as well have sold 80 of the angler fish in the space!
It's a pity that the people setting up stalls around saw that their sales were very good, and after a while, they collected a lot of money.
Therefore, the people setting up stalls in the market today all look at me with envy.
Under the gaze of everyone, Luo Xuan really couldn't find a chance to sneak into the space.
Get some more angler fish to sell...
But helplessly, seeing so much money not being made, it feels like a cat scratching people's hearts, it makes people feel itchy!
There are so many people here and it’s noisy,
It was really difficult for Luo Xuan to enter the space, so he went to get some angler fish, eels, and turtles to sell.
In desperation, Luo Xuan had no choice but to leave Erxianqiao Market and walk along the main road.
When I reached a small park, I looked around and saw no one around, then I got into the park and hid in a deserted corner.
After a while,
Luo Xuan then carried a big bag of mushrooms, some soft-shell turtles and eels, and a bucket of angler fish, and strolled to the entrance of the small park, waiting for the passing Sanlun.
Not long after,
A three-wheeler came from afar, and Luo Xuan waved to him.
Then I negotiated the price with the tricycle driver, took these things and went straight to the Lotus Pond Market.
The scale of this lotus pond market is indeed huge.
People selling agricultural and sideline products and industrial products, as well as second-hand furniture and third-hand bicycles, actually set up stalls in their respective designated areas.
Luo Xuan went to the agricultural and sideline products area, paid the manager a stall fee of 50 cents, and then started selling mushrooms, angler fish and other items.
While collecting money,
Luo Xuan also sighed with emotion: Sure enough, choice is more important than ability!
Just like these things I brought with me.
If placed at the frog market in Hongxing Commune, the selling price would be different.
If you go to the frog market in Rongwei County, the prices are different.
But if we put it here in Chengdu...
Hey, it’s like picking up money!
