For someone like Jia Dongsheng who never bargains when buying things, sellers are the ones who are most happy to see him.
However, Jia Dongsheng believes that he earned more money during the time he spent bargaining.
What's more, in this day and age, ordinary people are very simple and honest, and there are rarely situations where people are treated differently based on their appearance in the vegetable markets of later generations.
Life was not easy for people during the disaster years, so Jia Dongsheng bought almost everything he wanted.
The people gathered in front of the stall were stunned.
There are actually people selling things like this?
Four quails, five pigeons, and a cage of sparrows were all bought by Jia Dongsheng.
This made some people unhappy.
"Brother, this is not right. There is only a small amount of meat, why did you buy it all?"
"Yeah, there are so many of us here just for this little bit of meat. Brother, you can't buy it all. Can you leave some for us?"
"That's right, you're being too selfish. Just buy one anyway."
“So many of us still want to buy it?”
"You guys want to buy it too, why didn't you buy it before I came?"
Jia Dongsheng wasn't one to indulge others' faults. He sternly said, "If you wanted to buy it, you shouldn't have just stood here and watched. Now that I've bought it, it proves that these things are not meant for you. What else are you talking about?"
"Go away, go away. I don't have time to deal with you. I have to go to other stalls to check. What if there is still meat? I have to buy it."
Jia Dongsheng had used some strategy to say the last sentence. After all, the things on the stall had already been bought by him. If he continued to use his words, what if someone got impulsive and started a fight?
Did Jia Dongsheng give people artificial respiration?
Therefore, the most correct approach is to use a point to divert conflict and divert everyone's attention.
In fact, I came here because of what Jia Dongsheng said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the few people who had been shouting the loudest immediately ran away and hurried to check other stalls.
If they were slow at one step, and then the meat from other stalls was bought up, they would be really in trouble.
It’s not easy to buy some meat nowadays. I have a chance today and I can’t waste it!
As for Jia Dongsheng?
The meat has been bought by someone, but it is of no use other than satisfying your appetite.
After all, they can't give up the meat they have bought, so what else can they say?
If we continue, the meat that other stalls still have may have been sold out.
Seeing that no one was around him, Jia Dongsheng smiled and quickly loaded the car.
Quails, pigeons, sparrows, codonopsis, ginseng, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, dried mushrooms, and fungus were all loaded into the car!
Jia Dongsheng took away almost half of the things on the stall because he still needed to buy cabbage. Otherwise, he would have bought everything on the stall except walnuts.
As for why walnuts were not included, it was because his father-in-law had already sent him a lot of them, so he didn't need to buy more.
However, when he bought the car, Jia Dongsheng thought that his car could still hold other things. However, after loading the car, he found that even if the car could still hold cabbages, it could only hold twenty or thirty cabbages.
Winter storage vegetables, twenty or thirty cabbages, what can they be used for?
It’s not even enough to make kimchi and pickled sauerkraut.
So, I have to get a car.
Jia Dongsheng did what he said and pushed the cart out of the vegetable market.
At this time of year, many people come to buy winter vegetables. Although many of them drive bus No. 11 here and drive bus No. 11 back, they would rather walk a few more steps and make two more trips than find a tricycle to take them back in one go.
In their minds, hiring a car is a waste of money.
But Jia Dongsheng doesn't care about spending this money in vain.
To Jia Dongsheng's surprise, when he walked out, he actually saw an acquaintance.
Cai Quanwu.
"Old Cai, why are you here in the market?" Jia Dongsheng hurried over.
"Dongsheng, there are a lot of people who need a car here recently, so I'll come over and make a few trips!"
Cai Quanwu glanced at Jia Dongsheng, and a smile immediately appeared on his expressionless face: "Have you finished shopping and are you ready to go back?"
Perhaps it was because Cai Quanwu saw that Jia Dongsheng's tricycle was already full that he didn't expect that Jia Dongsheng still needed a car.
"No, I bought too much stuff and came out to look for a car."
"Looking for a car?"
Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment and was speechless!
He is such a rich man. He could have sent the things in the car back first and then made another trip. But he actually found another car to save time. He is really willing to spend money in vain.
Of course, in Cai Quanwu’s mind, the more such suckers who are willing to spend money in vain, the better, so that he can earn more!
"If you need anything else to buy, I can just bring it back for you."
There is nothing to say about Cai Quanwu. He never mentioned money at all and spoke in a tone that seemed to be asking for a hand or a favor.
Of course, it is also possible that Cai Quanwu understood that Jia Dongsheng was a tolerant person and would never let him suffer any loss.
"Pull a cart of cabbage."
Jia Dongsheng said, "We need to prepare some vegetables for the winter. We need to buy more cabbage, pickles, and sauerkraut. We need quite a lot."
"And you can see in my car, there's no room left."
Cai Quanwu glanced at the things in Jia Dongsheng's car, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes. The dry goods and mountain products in the car were considered luxury goods for ordinary people.
I don’t buy it normally, and I only buy a little during the Chinese New Year to make two dishes.
And what about Jia Dongsheng?
I bought a whole cart at a time, how long will it take to finish it all?
"Okay, we've bought the cabbages. Where are we going to load them?"
"I haven't bought anything yet. Come with me. I'll buy things quickly."
Cai Quanwu had no idea what Jia Dongsheng meant by "fast" before, but after buying the cabbages from Jia Dongsheng and starting to load them into the truck, he understood.
Fast means that when you arrive at a cabbage stall, you start picking. If the cabbage looks good, you put it on the scale. In a short while, you have picked more than ten cabbages from one stall, and then go to the next stall.
The cabbages were really big and good. I went to four stalls and bought 150 cabbages.
Jia Dongsheng silently calculated that twenty cabbages were needed to make kimchi, sixty cabbages were needed to pickle sauerkraut, and seventy cabbages were enough to store for the winter.
Cai Quanwu, who was following behind Jia Dongsheng, was dumbfounded. One hundred and fifty cabbages, what family would buy so many? Didn’t they buy other vegetables for winter storage?
Don’t you get tired of eating cabbage every day throughout the winter?
But when he and Jia Dongsheng arrived at the place where they were meeting Jia Zhang, and he saw his elder brother He Daqing's car full of green and red carrots, sweet potatoes, green onions, and vermicelli, he realized that he had underestimated the Jia family!
