Thinking this, Lin Yun quickly said, "Well, I'll talk to you later. I need to take these vegetables to the county town and find Gangzi..."
With that, Lin Yun quickly lifted the handlebars, loaded the cart with vegetables, and headed out.
Lin Yun didn't encounter anyone on this trip.
Lin Yun pulled the vegetables all the way to the county town.
Although he was pulling vegetables, Lin Yun wasn't idle. He used the footwork he had learned on the Cosmic Trading System, getting familiar with it little by little.
It has to be said that this martial art is indeed worthy of being sold on the Cosmic Trading System. Lin Yun had previously learned some footwork techniques, but compared to this footwork technique, it was far inferior.
In combat, footwork is also very important. Good footwork can help one overcome the strong with the weak and defeat the many with the few.
Lin Yun used his footwork to pull the cart at the same time, which made him look rather strange and attracted the attention of many passersby.
"Sigh, it's really a tragedy. They won't let us drive our tricycles, forcing these vegetable farmers to pull them by hand..."
"It's really getting more and more primitive..."
"I haven't seen a vehicle like this in years, I quickly took a picture..."
"There are no buses, tricycles aren't allowed, and taxis are charging exorbitant prices. We can't live like this anymore..."
"It's impossible to go to the county town now..."
Some people shook their heads and whispered among themselves.
Three-wheeled vehicles are the main mode of transportation in Xianyuan County. The complete ban has affected not only a small number of people, but has also caused considerable resentment.
Lin Yun had excellent hearing; he could hear even faint sounds from a great distance. Listening to these people's discussions, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He didn't know why the leaders of Xianyuan County made the decision to completely ban three-wheeled vehicles, but this policy undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among many people.
He quickened his pace and headed towards the county town.
With so many people talking about him, he felt embarrassed to walk slowly, as he was constantly being pointed at and talked about by so many people.
Although he walked very fast, it still took Lin Yun about forty or fifty minutes to reach the wholesale market.
As Lin Yun walked, his expression grew increasingly somber.
At his pace, it would still take him forty or fifty minutes to get here.
If it were his father, how long would it take to get there?
Even a round trip in a day can take two or three hours just on the road.
If you make two round trips, you'll spend almost half a day on the road picking up vegetables.
They have several acres of vegetable fields. If they rely entirely on this method to transport vegetables, not to mention how tiring it is, how much can they actually transport?
Even if we had customers, we probably couldn't keep up with the speed at which we could get the vegetables.
He knew that vegetables were generally best delivered to customers in the morning... because even restaurants could prepare them in the morning and use them by noon or in the afternoon. If they were delivered at noon or in the afternoon, the customer might not be able to use them until the next day, and they wouldn't be fresh.
Needless to say, the farmers' market is almost always busy in the morning, but there's no business in the afternoon.
"Please, please don't take away my tricycle. I didn't know tricycles weren't allowed in the city anymore. I came to buy groceries, and because I bought so much, my electric bike couldn't fit it all. I promise I won't come into the city again next time, please..." Just then, Lin Yun heard a commotion coming from not far away.
Lin Yun looked up and saw several law enforcement officers pulling an old man's tricycle and about to push it away.
"Let go! Let go of me! This is our job. If you have something to say, go talk to the county leaders. This policy wasn't issued by us!" a fat law enforcement officer shouted.
"Xiao Li, unload the vegetables from the truck. Xiao Wang, bring the tow truck over. We'll tow this tricycle away!" Then, the chubby law enforcement officer looked up at his two colleagues and said.
"Okay!" Following the fat law enforcement officer's words, the two officers immediately began to act. One swept the vegetables off the truck, while the other went to get the tow truck next to him.
Seeing this, the old man became even more agitated, tears streaming down his face. He gripped the tricycle tightly with both hands, pleading repeatedly, "Please, please, I'll never come again, never again..."
Many people around were already pointing and whispering, and some had even started cursing at the law enforcement officers.
However, this only enraged the law enforcement officers. How could the old man possibly contend with their strength? They forcefully pried open the old man's hands. One officer held the old man back, another skillfully drove the tricycle onto the tow truck, and yet another threw down a note, coldly saying, "Keep this note safe. Go to the parking lot in a month to settle this. Have the money ready!"
"I'm kneeling down before you, please, please don't take away my tricycle..." Just then, the old man suddenly knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly to the law enforcement officers, his face streaked with tears.
However, the law enforcement officers ignored them and drove away.
All that remained were scattered vegetables and an old man kneeling on the ground, his face filled with despair.
Seeing this, Lin Yun's face darkened.
Regardless of the motives of the leaders of Xianyuan County in making this policy, he has no good feelings towards it whatsoever.
The behavior of those law enforcement officers just now was even worse than that of animals.
Thinking back, a while ago, his father brought vegetables into the city at three or four in the morning, but the tricycle was confiscated and the vegetables were dumped all over the ground.
A surge of anger rose within him.
Was his father feeling the same way as this old man at that time?
He didn't even dare to think about it.
"Grandpa, get up quickly, the ground is cold. Here, take this money..."
Lin Yun put down the car behind him, walked over, and said softly.
He took three thousand yuan out of his pocket and handed it to the old man.
He hadn't had time to stop those people's actions, nor could he have done so; this was all he could do.
After saying that, he turned and left.
This is not an isolated incident.
Wholesale markets are places where tricycles easily come and go. Not far away, there was another case of a tricycle being confiscated. However, the owner of that tricycle was a middle-aged woman, so she didn't react as strongly as the old man. Lin Yun didn't bother to inquire about it.
This is not just one or two issues; it concerns the entire Xianyuan County. How can he possibly manage it all?
In the middle of the wholesale market, Lin Yun found Gangzi's stall.
Although they hadn't seen each other for five years, Lin Yun still recognized his best friend at a glance.
Under a makeshift shed, at a small stall, Gangzi was talking to a customer.
"One yuan per pound, sold by the box. This is the cheapest price. Apples are generally expensive this year, and my apples are of very good quality. You won't find apples like mine in the whole market. You can try them... How about this, if you buy two boxes, I'll give you two pounds for free. If you buy three boxes, I'll give you four pounds for free. A box of apples is twelve pounds, so four pounds is almost half a box..." Gangzi, with his buzz cut, was smiling and talking to the customer.
Lin Yun watched this scene with a faint smile, without going over.
But what does Gangzi do?
He's a businessman; there are people around him, how could he not be aware?
"Lin Yun!!! You're back!!!" Gangzi looked up, saw Lin Yun, was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed excitedly.
He quickly put down the apple in his hand and walked briskly towards Lin Yun.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered the customers over there. He quickly turned around and laughed loudly, "My buddy is back today, and I'm in a really good mood. If you buy one box, I'll give you two pounds for free. If you buy three boxes, I'll give you one box for free. If you want to buy, just pick one yourself. You can choose any of those apples you like!"
