When Liu Hai left home, he took the list that he had already made with him. In fact, with Liu Hai's super good memory now modified by the leaves of merit, even if he didn't make a list, the things he wanted to buy in the county this time were already clearly recorded in his memory.
In his mind, Xiao Yun was just worried. Liu Hai had to carry the list in his trouser pocket. Anyway, he went to the county seat. We would decide whether to take it out later.
When he went out, Liu Hai knew that he had three things to do when he went to the county town.
The first thing is to learn about the market situation of chili peppers. At the same time, Liu Hai also wants to try his luck to see if he can find a buyer for his half acre of chili pepper land.
The second thing is to find a place to buy fish fry and buy some fry for experiments.
The third thing is to buy groceries for Liu Xiaofu's birthday tomorrow, which is also the main purpose of going to the county this time. According to Liu Hai, now the third grandma and Sister Xiaofu are his relatives, and now his family's conditions are better.
, Liu Hai had a very "novel" idea in his mind
There were very few pedestrians on the road in the early morning, and the land that had just woken up seemed a little quiet. When we arrived at the county seat, the morning market at the vegetable market had not yet passed.
The vegetable market is perhaps the busiest place in the small town of Long County in the morning, so Liu Hai's goal is naturally the largest vegetable market in the county.
The reason why Liu Hai did not go to the town to buy vegetables but went to the county town to buy vegetables was because he had seen many times at the largest vegetable market in the county town selling fish fry in several very large wooden barrels at the entrance of the market.
The wet market is not far from the County No. 2 Middle School. Liu Hai has been there several times and knows the way there, so after arriving in the county town, Liu Hai went directly to the wet market.
Before entering the vegetable market, Liu Hai smelled a peculiar smell unique to the vegetable market, which was a bit pungent. It was obviously caused by poor hygiene. Liu Hai frowned, but did not stop. In Long County
This small place is no better than a big city. Many things can only be made by making do. For example, the improvement of the sanitary environment does not mean improvement. It should be determined by many factors such as the quality of the people, the intensity of government services, and the level of public facilities.
Yes, it's not a matter of one or two days.
In the past few years when Liu Hai was in high school, he watched Long County become more and more prosperous. There were more and more people in the county, and the houses were getting taller and taller. But at the same time, he also witnessed the surrounding environment step by step.
It's getting worse, there's a lot of garbage on the street, and the public phone on the roadside is broken.
"Not only the sanitary environment, but also the social environment has deteriorated - alas, there are too many idle people now -" Liu Hai murmured in his mind, remembering his last encounter at the bank, and lamented the "
There are more and more "bad guys"
After walking a few steps, Liu Hai heard the noise of a wet market.
"Huh - why not?"
When Liu Hai came to the door of the vegetable market, he originally thought that he could buy fish fry immediately for experiment, and he was still a little excited. When he just walked, his steps were faster. But now when he came to the door of the vegetable market, he saw that there were fish for sale.
There are a lot of big pots on the ground, full of fish, but those fish are all big fish sold to ordinary people for consumption. The fish seller I found before is not there.
Liu Hai stared carefully and looked for it - it was indeed not there. He suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. A feeling of dissatisfaction instantly surged into his heart.
However, Liu Hai soon discovered that his abnormal mentality was a bit strange. Why did his emotions fluctuate easily these days, and each time his emotions fluctuated greatly?
Could it be that there have been too many unsatisfactory things recently?
Liu Hai stood at the door of the very busy vegetable market and reflected.
When I was studying Fan Zhongyan's famous work "Yueyang Tower" in Chinese class, I read, "I have tried to seek the heart of the benevolent people of ancient times, or I have done something different from the two. Why? Don't be happy with things, and don't be sad with yourself."
When I said this sentence, I was very touched
Perhaps it was the unique mentality of young people at that time, and I was deeply shocked by Fan Xianxian's description of the state of "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself"
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but a young man is afraid of flying and winging?
At that time, Liu Hai had no idea how high or low he was, dreaming that one day he would be able to reach this state. Of course, at that time, Liu Hai just thought about it and dreamed about it for a while, but nothing more happened.
Until that day, Liu Hai got the green apple jade pendant. On that day, Liu Hai discovered the mysterious space inside the green apple jade pendant. On that day, Liu Hai gradually revealed the magic of the merit tree. Liu Hai suffered the blow of the failure of secret love, and then got another
With the ability to change his own destiny, Liu Hai's heart gradually transformed from the impetuousness of a young man to a mature one.
Now that the phrase "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself" was heard again, Liu Hai suddenly had a unique insight. It was said to be an insight, but in fact it was better to say it was resonance. Because at this moment, Liu Hai suddenly discovered that he had wanted to deliberately go
Funny, who pursues the state of "external objects are not moved by the heart", has realized at this time that this state cannot be achieved by deliberately pursuing it out of thin air, but requires constant experience, constant tempering, and constant reflection.
Only by constantly improving yourself can you gradually reach that state
With this understanding, Liu Hai will often reflect on himself. But at this time, Liu Hai reflects on himself, but it is not just to pursue the realm, but more simply to obtain inner peace.
Because Liu Hai likes the kind of inner tranquility, just like the Buddha said: "There is great joy in a quiet place", Liu Hai calmly changed it to - there is great freedom in a quiet place.
Realizing the emotional fluctuations in his heart, Liu Hai quickly calmed down his heart. He smiled lightly, even if the fish fry seller didn't come to the market today, it doesn't matter. As long as he goes to look for it, Long County is so huge.
, can’t you find a person selling fish fry? Even if no one sells them, it doesn’t matter. You can go down to the river to catch them yourself. How can you catch a lot of small crucian carp?
Liu Hai smiled calmly to himself and walked to a fish vendor.
"Uncle, how do you sell this fish?"
"Young man, do you want to buy fish? Look, fresh live fish, grass carp is 4.5 yuan, silver carp is 4 yuan a pound." The fish seller is a man in his thirties, wearing a plastic scarf, looking at
The bangs came forward and greeted him warmly.
Liu Hai originally wanted to get straight to the point and ask the other party directly where the fish seller here had gone. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of the other party's yellowed teeth and said to the fish seller: "Uncle, please wait a moment."
After that, I ran to a small grocery store outside the market, bought a pack of Hongdou cigarettes and a lighter, and came to the fish stall again. I tore open the cigarette case and handed a cigarette to the middle-aged man, taking the initiative to give it to him.
After lighting up his cigarette, he said: "Uncle, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you know that there used to be a person who bought fish fry here?"
The middle-aged man took a strong puff of the "red bean" held between his index and middle fingers, and puffed out a smoke ring in a familiar manner. It seemed that Liu Hai had made the right move. The other person was an old smoker.
"What? The young man doesn't want to buy fish, but wants to buy fry?"
The middle-aged vegetable vendor obviously saw the purpose of Liu Hai's visit. Although the business was relatively busy in the morning, the vegetable seller still asked Liu Hai enthusiastically after accepting the cigarette.
Liu Hai nodded to indicate that he really wanted to buy fish fry. Liu Hai just felt that since the other party was selling fish, even if he didn't know the people who sold fish fry here before, he might know other places that sold fish fry.
Sure enough, the other party said: "There are several people selling fish fry here, but young man, you came late. It is already August, and the fish selling time has long passed."
Just as Liu Hai was about to speak, a man who wanted to buy fish came next to him. The man was in a hurry to entertain the customers, and before Liu Hai could speak, he said: "There is a shop on Bayi Road that specializes in selling fish species. You can go there to buy it."
"After that, he started to do his own business.
Liu Hai also knew that this was the time when his business was doing well, so he smiled and said thank you, but did not leave the vegetable market immediately and go to the Bayi Road mentioned by the fishmonger. Instead, he walked towards the vegetable market.
Although he asked where he could buy fish fry, Liu Hai didn't make himself too happy. Liu Hai didn't like it if he was too sad or excited. Now, he likes it, with a touch of joy and a touch of sadness.
When we walked into the vegetable market, the air was really bad and there were all kinds of smells.
Liu Haidiai came to the place selling vegetables and asked about the price of chili peppers. He found that the price of chili peppers was higher than what he had inquired about before.
Green peppers cost 80 cents per catty, and red peppers cost one yuan per catty.
After asking, I found out that the market for chili peppers is now bullish, and it seems that the price increase trend has not stopped yet.
After Liu Hai heard this, he felt mixed emotions. He was happy because the pepper market was good and the price was high. His own peppers would definitely be able to sell for a good price when the time came. What he was worried about was that the pepper market was good and the price was high. Vegetable farmers in any place have seen it.
Planting whatever is going well is called "following the trend". As the price of peppers increases, more people will naturally grow peppers. I have always planned to build Maohe Village into a "big base" for pepper planting to help the village get rid of poverty.
, it seems that the competition will be very fierce in the future.
But Liu Hai didn't think much about it. One reason was because of the "light emotion" he was pursuing, and the other reason was because the quality of his peppers, after being optimized with space soil super fertilizer, would definitely be better than the average peppers on the market.
Liu Hai wandered around the vegetable market for a long time, trying to ask the vegetable vendors about their purchasing channels, and trying to contact their suppliers. But others did not tell Liu Hai where they purchased their goods. Even if Liu Hai handed the other party cigarettes, he would not know.
No one said anything.
Finally, Liu Hai said that he grew peppers at home and wanted to discuss business with them, but no one believed him because Liu Hai was not even a half-year-old boy. In the words of one of the vegetable sellers, he didn't look like him.
Helpless, the peppers in his greenhouse have not yet bloomed, and Liu Hai could not provide any other evidence, so he had to leave the market in frustration.
As soon as he walked out of the vegetable market, Liu Hai couldn't help but shook his head and smiled to see what he had done. Haha - others thought he was fooling around with them.
When it comes to selling chili peppers, we have to do it slowly.
Although there was not much gain, a faint sense of fun filled my heart.
Liu Hai left the vegetable market, took a bus passing by Bayi Road, and headed directly to the fish shop that the fish seller mentioned.
He had a hunch that he would definitely be able to buy the crucian carp seedlings he wanted there...
