Because the weather is sunny, there are more people selling vegetables in the market.
I wanted to buy some potatoes, so I went around the market to choose. After turning it over, I found that the potatoes sold in the market are rarely produced locally, and most of them are shipped in, which can be easily seen from the appearance of the potatoes.
Local potatoes are of different sizes, and the largest one is only one fist, and there is a lot of soil on the surface of the potatoes; while the potatoes transported from other places are evenly symmetrical, and the largest ones are more than one fist, and the surface of the potatoes is relatively clean, with a little floating soil.
On the side of the market, there was an old man selling local potatoes. I asked the price, three yuan per pound. When I got to him, I probably got a good idea of the potato sales in the entire market.
price, most local potatoes cost three yuan per pound, and are small in size, suitable for stewing sauce, not suitable for peeling and cooking; foreign potatoes are priced at 2 yuan per pound, which is relatively large in size, suitable for peeling and cooking. I want to buy potatoes for cooking, but I don’t want to buy potatoes that are too small, so it’s too troublesome to pack them up.
I looked at the old man selling potatoes for three yuan per pound. They were as small as an egg. The surface was covered with a lot of soil, and they were so dark that they were very unsightly.
I turned around and wanted to leave, and he shouted, "I'll give you two five yuan! This potato is so noodles. You can eat it when you go back and keep it!"
I smiled and looked up at him, and found that he was a five-guarantee household under our unit. A few days ago, when Mid-Autumn Festival , we also sent moon cakes to his house.
I originally planned to buy some to take care of his business. Although the potatoes are too small and it is very difficult to pack them up, it is not impossible to buy less.
Just as I squatted down to pick it up, he suddenly stopped me and said, "If you take it all, it's two or five yuan. If you pick it, you'll have three yuan!"
I felt a little unhappy when I heard it. Look at the potatoes, in addition to the excessive soil, some of them were broken, and some even started to pour out water.
is just selling for three yuan? I stood up and turned and left. My money was not caused by the strong wind, so why do I have to spend money to buy potatoes so much to go home!
turned to another stall. The other party sold foreign potatoes, two or five hundred pounds. When I squatted down and started to pick it, the boss handed me the convenience bag and said, "You can choose two dollars per pound!"
I picked some small potatoes and put them in half a convenience bag and handed them to the boss. The boss put them on the electronic scale and weighed them, and asked me, "Can you make up ten dollars?"
I nodded, and the boss put a potato in the bag casually. I paid ten dollars and took the bag and left.
When I walked past the five-guarantee stall with potatoes, he waved to me and said, "I'm that's all, why don't you take it together, and you'll give it to you two or five!"
I smiled and shook my head and walked out of the market.
It takes a price to be a good person, but the price this five-guarantee householder asked me to pay was too high, and it was simply an insult to my IQ. I'm not a fool, why do I buy those bad potatoes and go home?
More importantly, we go to his house almost once a month, and it is impossible for him to not know me. When I bought his potatoes, I pretended not to know him, because I was afraid that I would not give him money.
If I were such a person, would I still have to go to the market to buy potatoes? Who doesn’t grow potatoes in the village we guaranteed? If I have thick skin, I ask who can't ask for some potatoes back?
These days, it is really hard for good people to do. Why did this old man lose the simple nature of rural people?
