Chapter 26: The County Hospital is Full of “Distinguished Guests”
Ye Xiaomei frowned and looked at the loaches in the basket. There was originally some water in the basket, but the mountain road was rugged and a lot of water leaked out due to the bumps.
If you wait any longer you will die.
"Mom, how about we go to the entrance of the county hospital?" Ye Xiaomei said as she carried the bamboo basket on her back: "Let's go there."
Zhao Mei had never run a business, and her personal freedom was strictly restricted by her family. She could only push her bicycle to keep up with her daughter in the crowded crowd.
Sure enough, there were not so many people outside the county hospital, and there was a big willow tree at the door, so Ye Xiaomei squatted there.
Maybe there are family members who want to buy some loaches and eels to nourish the health of their sick relatives?
Ye Xiaomei actually had some luck in her heart. If she really couldn't sell the food, she could just go home and eat it herself. But next time she would have to learn from her lesson and come earlier to reserve a stall spot.
Actually, Ye Xiaomei knew in her heart that it was because of cutting the herb that she was delayed for a while in the morning.
There was a constant flow of people coming and going in the hospital. Some of them were visiting patients, and you could tell they were there by the cans they were holding.
Some patients were accompanied by their family members for consultation.
Ye Xiaomei waited for half an hour, but no one came up to ask about the price. She had to borrow a scale from Aunt Li's house.
"Xiao Mei, why is no one coming to buy here?" Zhao Mei took off her straw hat and fanned herself vigorously.
"Mom, I..." Ye Xiaomei was a little embarrassed: "I see that people have to shout when doing business. Do you shout or should I?"
This statement was so obvious that Ye Xiaomei was too embarrassed to shout it out.
Zhao Mei had never done business before. She opened her mouth and lowered her head and said, "Your mother... I don't know how to shout either."
Seeing how enthusiastically they were hawking their wares and how efficiently they were attracting customers, Ye Xiaomei cleared her throat and took a deep breath:
"Loaches, three yuan a pound, eels... good things that can replenish blood and promote salivation, good for health, wild... loaches."
Zhao Mei glanced sideways at her daughter and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
"Your loach is three yuan per pound, what about the eel? I think your eel is quite big."
Sure enough, a master came.
Zhao Mei was delighted and hurried to help: "Big brother, this yellow eel is a bit expensive, five yuan per pound, how much do you want?"
"Take them all."
As soon as the master said this, he took money out of his pocket.
Ye Xiaomei knew him, but she just remembered who he was.
He is the old man who sells melons under the big willow tree outside Meihua Village. Yes, Zhang Changjiang’s father.
Zhao Mei climbed up the pole and weighed it. The total was six and a half pounds. After rounding off the decimal point, she charged thirty yuan: "Brother, take it."
Zhang's father didn't say anything, but he had a long face and walked into the county hospital carrying a plastic bag of loaches.
"Xiao Mei, thirty yuan can be exchanged for a lot of things." Zhao Mei's eyes lit up as she handed the thirty yuan to Xiao Mei.
"Mom, keep it. Go buy her a pencil case and some pencil notebooks later."
At least Xiaoya doesn't have to write her homework and then erase it again to save money. Ye Xiaomei looked back into the yard as she said this.
"Zhang Youquan, take it away from me quickly." Director Li pushed his brother-in-law out.
"Didn't I bring you some game to try? I didn't say I would definitely let your sister come back." Zhang Youquan was pushed back several steps. The plastic bag in his hand was originally the one that Ye's mother and daughter saved when they bought things on weekdays. It was not as strong as a new one.
At this moment, a yellow eel squeezed out from the broken crack and immediately started twisting on the ground.
Zhang Youquan rushed over to catch it, but failed to catch it the first time. He rubbed his palms on the ground, which were covered with dirt. When he tried to catch it again, he managed to fix the eel.
"Your sister and I quarreled, but we are still husband and wife. She is my wife wherever I go. Why do you have to bother me?"
"Hurry up and leave. My sister won't go back with you." Director Li said with contempt in his eyes.
When he was young, Zhang Youquan was good-looking and was considered a handsome guy in the area, which was why her sister seduced her and insisted on marrying him. Now you can see that he can do nothing except grow watermelons.
At this moment, a rebellious and unruly voice came from outside the yard:
"Uncle, please lend me your new motorcycle."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Changjiang saw the girl at the entrance of the county hospital. He looked around and found that it was safe, so he squatted down quickly:
“You sold this?”
The moment Ye Xiaomei raised her eyes, she was startled.
"Don't be afraid, I'll buy them all for you, okay? Look at your face getting red from the sun."
Zhang Changjiang said as he was about to start.
