Chapter 152 Are there any eel seedlings?
Zheng Jingyi looked up and saw
that the man called Boss Luo was a strong man in his forties. He was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 180 pounds by visual inspection. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, broad shoulders and thick back, and a loud voice. He is scolding a woman next to him.
The rural woman was about forty years old, with short hair, short and fat. She had her hands on her hips and was arguing with Boss Luo about something. She spoke with the same accent from her hometown. I couldn’t understand where she was from. It looked like they were a couple.
Boss Luo ignored the woman and cursed, sitting down on a wooden armchair and sorting three large foam boxes. The boxes were filled with fresh eels. The eels were intertwined and each one was as thick as a finger.
Zheng Jingyi looked familiar to Boss Luo.
Zeng Jianshe shouted to him, "Lao Luo!"
"Hey! It's Manager Zeng, is there anything wrong?" When Boss Luo saw that the person coming was Zeng Jianshe, he quickly stood up, walked forward, took out a cigarette from his pocket, He handed one to Zeng Jianshe and said,
"Thank you!" Zeng Jianshe took the cigarette and held it in his mouth. Boss Luo quickly took out the lighter and stretched it out to light the cigarette.
Zeng Jianshe took a deep breath of smoke and puffed out from his nostrils. After blowing out two puffs of smoke, he patted Boss Luo on the shoulder, "Business is good, right?"
Boss Luo smiled, "That's okay, that's it! Is there something wrong with the manager?"
Zeng Jianshe pointed to Zheng Jingyi next to him and said,
"Lao Luo, This is my neighbor Xiao Zheng. I watched her grow up. Xiao Zheng wants to sell eel seedlings to you. The more the better. Do you have any eel seedlings at home? "
Boss Luo replied happily, "Of course there are eel seedlings? You can get whatever you want."
Zeng Jianshe smiled, "I know you have it, so be it! Xiao Zheng wants to buy it, please give me a price for my sake."
Boss Luo looked at Zheng Jingyi in front of him. "Xiao Zheng? You look familiar!"
Zheng Jingyi said with a smile, "Boss Luo, you look familiar to me too. I have sold vegetables in the fruit and vegetable area in front of you for a few months, so we should have met."
Boss Luo nodded. "Yes! I said why you look so familiar. I remember, you and your mother were together, right? I remember that your vegetables sold very well. Why, now you sell eels instead?"
Zheng Jingyi didn't want to explain, He nodded and said, "Yes, please give me some advice from Manager Luo."
Manager Luo smiled bitterly, "I can't give you experience. I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition."
"Ah? Lao Luo, how can you be like this? Expensive tuition?" Manager Zeng couldn't help but interrupt.
"Manager Zeng, you don't know. I lost a lot of money last year. All my family savings were put in, and I almost went bankrupt. Monopterus eels are not easy to raise. They like shade and are afraid of light, and their survival rate is low. Beauty, you can try raising them in the future. You know."
After complaining, Boss Luo turned around and asked, "Little Miss Zheng, how many eel seedlings do you want?"
Zheng Jingyi bent down and looked at these large eels, one by one, twisting like snakes in the box. "Do you have any eel fry here?"
"There are some, come in and have a look!"
Boss Luo walked to the back and pulled out a small pot of eel fry, "No, there are some here, not many, you can Let’s take a look at the quality first. If you want more, you can come home with me to have a look.”
Zheng Jingyi took a closer look and found that the body surface of these eel seedlings was complete and smooth, with no scratches, and the color was good and uniform. There are large yellow spots and small spots, and all of them are energetic. They all look like good and healthy eel seedlings.
Zheng Jingyi stood up, looked at Boss Luo and said, "Boss Luo, please give me a price! I need a thousand catties of fry, and I want fry of this quality. I don't want the poor quality!"
Boss Luo was happy, "Don't worry. The seedlings I have are all good. The price of eel seedlings on the market now is twenty-five yuan a pound. Do you think it’s OK if I give you twenty-four yuan? If so, let’s make an appointment and I’ll prepare it in advance. You come and pick up the goods."
Zheng Jingyi listened and nodded and said, "Okay! I'll come over the day after tomorrow and pick it up at your house in the morning."
Boss Luo stood there with his hands on his waist, like a door god. He shouted happily, "Okay! That's it!"
The cigarette in Zeng Jianshe's hand had burned to the butt. He took a last puff, flicked his middle finger, and flicked the cigarette butt into the pool not far away. He said to Boss Luo, "Lao Luo, I will also go to your house the day after tomorrow. I will help Xiao Zheng and stop by your house. Are you welcome?"
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Okay! I asked you to come. I have asked you to come. You always say you’re not free when you’re playing at home. Let’s have lunch at my house the day after tomorrow. I’ll ask my mother-in-law to prepare some farm food, and we two will have a few drinks!”
Zeng Jianshe shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, “Don’t go with me! Xiao Zheng went to buy some fish fry and left, why bother you and your wife? "
Actually, Zeng Jianshe said this in a polite way. Although the market manager is not an official, he is in charge of all the vendors in the market. The vegetable farmers do not dare to offend, and they offer sacrifices like a Bodhisattva. I'm afraid I won't be well received.
Usually, this vegetable vendor would bring some food, that vegetable vendor would bring some meat, and it was even more common to treat the market manager to a meal.
Therefore, Zeng Jianshe basically doesn’t need to buy groceries every day. He just walks around the market and has enough groceries for the day.
When Boss Luo heard what Zeng Jianshe said, of course he didn't agree, "It's settled! Once we are familiar with each other, Xiao Zheng can be considered an acquaintance. The day after tomorrow, you two will go to my house to have a good time and have fun eating at the farmhouse." Come back after dinner!"
Zheng Jingyi looked at Uncle Zeng, knowing that Uncle Zeng had agreed without saying a word, "Okay! Boss Luo, thank you in advance. We'll come over the day after tomorrow."
After that, she left with Zeng Jianshe . market.
Back in the office, Zheng Jingyi and Zeng Jianshe made an appointment to meet at the market the day after tomorrow and left.
Zeng Jianshe opened the drawer and saw that the Chinese cigarette was still there. He happily put it into a bag and returned home from get off work with the bag in hand.
Zeng Jianshe and his wife are both good people, and they treat Zheng Jingyi well. They used to look up and down, and watched her grow up as a girl next door. In addition, Zheng Jingyi is generous and polite, so the couple like her very much.
While eating at home last night, Zeng Jianshe heard his wife say, "Xiao Zheng is now in our unit. She is not only capable, but also beautiful. She can take exams and perform well. Several deans like her. She is young and has been promoted to Deputy head nurse of the operating room. Just wait and see, among those young people, she is the most promising in the future. "
So Zeng Jianshe really wants to help.
What's more, he wouldn't worry about a girl going to the countryside alone to buy goods.
Zeng Jianshe was riding his bicycle, humming songs all the way. When he was approaching the downstairs of his home, he saw Nanjiang City in the distance.
Zeng Jianshe set up the bicycle legs, locked the bike, and nodded towards Nanjiang City, "Master Nan, how about a walk?"
Nanjiang Cheng is thin, stooped, and walks very slowly. Since his derailment and arson incident half a year ago, his reputation has been ruined and his mental state has deteriorated a lot, as if he has become a different person.
Nanjiang Cheng turned around and saw his neighbor upstairs. He nodded and bowed, "Manager Zeng, are you off work?"
"Off work." Zeng Jianshe smiled and went upstairs, thinking to himself, this old man really brought it upon himself, with Zheng Juan and Zheng Jingyi at home. , his life should be easier...
