Chapter 100: Playing the long game, catching the big fish
Under her disguise, Chi Wan secretly looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man did the same, looking at Chi Wan.
뇾's eyes scanned Chi Wan's dirty outfit from top to bottom.
Especially when he saw the layer of coal dust on Chi Wan's face, he frowned slightly.
Seems not very satisfied.
But the middle-aged man held the apple that was stuffed into his hand and touched it lightly with his fingers.
He was stunned.
The difference between a good apple and an ordinary apple can be felt just by touching the skin.
The middle-aged man noticed it immediately.
The apple in his hand was big and round, with a crisp and tender skin, and he could immediately feel that there was a lot of juice in the fruit.
Then he looked down.
The apple in the palm of my hand was indeed bright red and crispy and tender.
Just looking at the color makes one's throat water and one can't help but want to take a big bite.
This apple is, of course, a good apple.
Chi Wan had just picked it from the Lingbao Space today, and she chose the best and roundest ones.
It’s not apple season recently, so she hadn’t originally planned to sell them.
It was intended to be given to Doctor Sun so that he could have a taste.
But the situation was urgent just now.
Chi Wan had nothing else on her, so she took out the apple.
The middle-aged man held the apple and his originally frowned brows relaxed slightly.
She asked Chi Wan.
"Where do you get apples at this time of year?"
Chi Wan's eyes rolled and she spoke in a rustic accent.
"I live in the mountains, and there is an apple tree behind the house. My grandfather said that my house has good feng shui, so the apple tree bears fruit very early, and the apples are very sweet. If you don't believe me, try taking a bite. I wipe it clean and eat it directly."
Her tone was sincere and she spoke very seriously.
Even a little silly.
It seems like he really believes in the theories of Feng Shui.
After hearing Chi Wan's words, the middle-aged man did not continue to ask questions, but nodded.
The aunt who brought him here said hurriedly.
"Let me tell you! Her products are all very good! She does business honestly, and they are better than those in the cooperative!"
"You still don't believe it. If I hadn't brought you here in person today, would you still not believe it?"
"Take another look. She has quite a few things in her basket. There must be something you like."
Talking.
The aunt looked at the middle-aged man by herself.
Chi Wan no longer greeted them specifically, but entertained other guests.
She began to pack skillfully, taking the items in one hand and collecting the money in the other.
Move quickly and decisively.
Just half an hour.
Everything Chi Wan prepared has been sold out.
Her pockets were bulging.
The money inside was of very small denominations, some of them were even a few cents, but when added together, it was a considerable amount of money.
Chi Wan did the calculations.
Her daily turnover is basically around five yuan.
This business will naturally expand. As long as she is willing to sell more, she will make more money.
only.
Chi Wan didn't want to attract special attention.
Five dollars a day was enough to make her happy.
Chi Wanqing emptied her baskets and was ready to pack up and leave, but the middle-aged man in front of her did not leave.
Still looking at her leisurely.
She was still holding the apple in her hand.
However, the aunt who originally came with her was nowhere to be seen. She must have left first.
"you……"
Chi Wan hesitated and opened her mouth, preparing to say something.
The middle-aged man spoke faster.
"My last name is Fang."
Chi Wan reacted quickly and said directly, "Uncle Fang, you see I have sold out all my stuff, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
Uncle Fang didn't care what Chi Wan said.
Instead, he continued to ask.
"Can you do arithmetic?"
She had just been watching Chi Wan taking out the money and making change, which was very fast, but Chi Wan did not make any mistakes at all.
Just this.
She is not a dusty rural woman, she did it.
Chi Wan's heart skipped a beat.
She knew she was seen through.
Uncle Fang couldn't tell that she was not an ordinary person, just as she could tell that Uncle Fang was not an ordinary person either.
Chi Wan was not afraid and smiled lightly.
She stood up and stopped pretending to have an awkward accent.
Instead, he said to Uncle Fang.
"Uncle Fang, if you want to chat with me, this place is not suitable. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
"OK."
Uncle Fang nodded.
therefore.
The two left the black market one after the other.
Walk to the street outside.
Under Uncle Fang's gaze, Chi Wan took the initiative to speak.
"Uncle Fang, we all know what the black market is. I just want to do some small business and make a little money to make life better for my family. I don't want anything to happen to me, so I always think of ways to protect myself."
"But to be frank, I am just a vendor. All my goods have clean origins, are cheap and of good quality. I have a clear conscience on this."
"I believe you are not an ordinary person. If you want to trouble me, please be merciful. If you want to buy something from me, I welcome it."
Suddenly get to the point.
Chi Wan said directly what she didn't want to say and what she wanted to say.
So that's it.
Instead, Uncle Fang was suddenly confused.
Uncle Fang was stunned.
Look at Chi Wan.
Then he burst out laughing.
"You...you...you are actually very young, hahaha, you are really interesting."
Uncle Fang smiled like this.
Chi Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
At least, you can tell that the other party is not looking for trouble.
After Uncle Fang laughed a few times, he quickly returned to his previous serious look.
She said.
"Since you said so, I won't beat around the bush. My master has a poor appetite recently and wants to eat something new. But he is old and doesn't like many things. He is tired of the food we have at home. I heard from my fellow villagers that your food is good, so I came to take a look today."
Chi Wan heard it.
I also gradually understood Uncle Fang's identity.
It was pretty much as she thought, Uncle Fang was a servant in a wealthy family.
But the one who is in charge of food, clothing and expenses should probably be the butler.
Even the housekeeper is so meticulous, neat and efficient, and has a good eye for people. This family must be no ordinary one.
Chi Wan was a little surprised that there was such a wealthy family in this small county town.
But think about it carefully.
In this small county town, there is Liang Qiuchi, a student of Capital University, and the "military" vehicle that I saw last time.
It doesn't seem strange.
There are too many people who are crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
Chi Wan followed Uncle Fang's words and asked, "Uncle Fang, you saw it all from beginning to end. What do you think of my things?"
Uncle Fang uttered two words coldly.
"ordinary."
Chi Wan didn't feel embarrassed.
She originally ran a small-town business, so of course she sold the most ordinary and everyday things.
It's just that the wealthy families don't care about these things.
but.
The Uncle Fang in front of me is a big fish.
Now that she was in front of her, Chi Wan naturally didn't let her go.
