Chapter 118: The Fierce Grandma Zhong Cuihua (Seventh Update, Please Subscribe)
"Sandworm fuck!"
"Finished acquiring sandworms!"
…
"Buy dried sandworms at a high price!"
…
Sun Xiaozhi glanced at the employee standing next to the pickup truck and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. He was very anxious. A few days ago, the nearby villages on the seaside went out to dig for sandworms. After four or five days, they rushed into the village to collect them. .
Dried sand worms are high-end seafood, rich in nutrients and tonic. They are very popular. The price is high and they are easy to sell. A year's business depends on the goods collected in these few days. However, at noon, the harvested sandworms were less than five kilograms.
Sun Xiaozhi knew that he had lowered the price too hard this year. People in the village were unwilling to sell, and he regretted it a bit. However, if he said it, he would throw water out and the price would not increase immediately. If he really did this, the people who sold the sandworms would have to settle the account with themselves. Those who ask for money but do not sell feel that they are profiteers and even more unwilling to sell, and both parties are not human beings.
Sun Xiaozhi took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground, raised his foot and stepped on it hard. He couldn't sit still and wait for death. If no one from the village came, he would have to go find it. Today he had to collect a hundred kilograms of dried sandworms. .
Sun Xiaozhi opened the door of the truck, took the bag containing cash and put it on his back, then turned and walked into the village.
"Brother!"
"Are there any sandworms at home? Buy them at a high price!"
…
"Auntie!"
"Did anyone dig up sandworms a few days ago?"
"My car is at the drying ground in the village collecting dried sandworms. If there are any, sell them to me."
…
"This uncle."
"Are there any dried sandworms for sale?"
"Cash money to collect."
"Pay me immediately after passing the scale!"
…
Sun Xiaozhi went from door to door and asked people he met. Some of them ignored them at all, and some simply closed the door as soon as they heard the price.
"What the hell!"
"Why can't we get anything from sandworms this year?"
"Is it possible that you said you want to raise the price now?"
Sun Xiaozhi was sweating profusely while walking. Everyone in the village had dried sandworms in their hands, and they were unwilling to buy them if they were not satisfied with the price. This year, he was a bit greedy and the price was too high. He thought it was troublesome to the people in the village and would sell them at any lower price. , I didn’t expect this to be the case.
Sun Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and continued walking forward. He walked through the entire village. If no one was willing to sell, he could only raise the price. It didn't matter if he slapped himself in the face. He could make money by eating shit.
Sun Xiaozhi gasped for air. The village was getting higher and higher. The heat was really uncomfortable. He was just thinking about whether to go back. When he looked forward, he saw several large dustpans in front of a house not far away. He pressed his nose hard. Breathe in, the sea breeze blowing over carries the familiar smell of dried sandworms.
Sun Xiaozhi perked up, quickened his pace and rushed to the dustpan. He looked down and saw that each of the dried sandworms was as long as a finger, with the middle finger as big as the middle finger. They were as orange as mud and translucent in the sun. He had been doing the sandworm business for ten years. , I knew at first glance that this was a top quality product, one pound could be worth three or even five pounds of other products. If I were to sell it in my own store, I would not be able to buy it for two thousand yuan per pound.
Sun Xiaozhi stretched out his hand to grab a handful and take a closer look. There was a sudden "bang" sound and he jumped up in fright. He turned around and saw a seventy-year-old woman sitting on the threshold of the door of the house, holding an iron basin in one hand and another in the other hand. Holding a stick, this is what scared me.
"Hello grandma."
"Is this from your sandworm?"
"Is there anyone else at home?"
As Sun Xiaozhi spoke, he glanced at the open courtyard door. No one was moving.
"Let's go!"
"My grandson said, this sandworm is not for sale!"
Zhong Cuihua shook her head.
"What about the ones that are not for sale?"
"I'll give you a good price!"
…
"I came to your village early in the morning to collect sandworms! They have been coming since the year before last!"
"The car is parked at the sun drying yard in the village!"
…
"The people in your village have sold all their dried sandworms to me! If you don't believe me, go and take a look. There are almost two hundred kilograms loaded on the car!"
…
"You can't eat these sandworms yourself, can you? They must be sold. The price in town is the same as mine or even a little lower."
"Selling it to me saves you a trip, doesn't it?"
…
"Cash money!"
"Did you watch it?"
"I have cash with me!"
…
"Six hundred yuan a pound!"
"Everyone else in the village only pays me 500 yuan a pound!"
…
Sun Xiaozhi's eyes rolled around, and he deliberately spoke loudly. No one came out. It seemed that there was only an old lady at home. This was a good opportunity. With his sharp tongue, it was easy to deal with an old lady.
Zhong Cuihua glanced at Sun Xiaozhi, who saw an old lady guarding the sandworm trying to trick him into taking it away at a low price. He ignored it, stood up, and turned around to walk home.
"Why!"
"Have you just left?"
"Don't sell it for six hundred? How about adding fifty?"
"No more. No more, and those other people in the village who sell me sandworms will definitely not do it!"
"You must ask me for money!"
Sun Xiaozhi saw Zhong Cuihua ignoring him and turning around to enter the yard. He immediately followed her into the yard, followed her into the kitchen as soon as he saw her.
"ah?"
"What are you doing with the knife?"
When Sun Xiaozhi saw Zhong Cuihua holding a hatchet on the stove, he was stunned for a moment, but his expression immediately changed and he turned around and ran out.
"Six hundred and fifty yuan a pound for my sandworms!?"
"You see I'm old and easy to deceive, don't you?"
…
"The old woman eats more salt than you eat rice!"
…
"Come into my house? Don't run away if you dare!"
"I'll kill you with one knife!"
...
Sun Xiaozhi was sweating profusely, running as fast as a rabbit, thinking only of buying sandworms at a low price, forgetting that in a fishing village, if a stranger walked around a few times in front of his house, he might release dogs, not to mention that he had entered someone else's house, and there would be no place to complain if he was beaten to death.
Zhao Dahai was riding a motorcycle, just back from the town, and bought some tofu and pork, and was thinking about how to cook them, when he suddenly heard the voice of grandma Zhong Cuihua cursing, his face changed, and he twisted the accelerator hard, and the motorcycle rushed out, turned a corner, and saw grandma Zhong Cuihua standing at the gate of the yard from a distance, holding a hatchet in her hand and cursing, and a person was running towards him.
Zhao Dahai parked the motorcycle, waited for the person to run to his side, and without saying a word, he kicked him directly.
Sun Xiaozhi had seen Zhao Dahai a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he would kick him out, and he fell down with a somersault.
Zhao Dahai grabbed Sun Xiaozhi's collar and pulled him up, slapped him twice with his front and back hands, and dragged him towards grandma Zhong Cuihua.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't this the boss who came to our village to collect sandworms?"
...
"You want to buy them for 650 yuan?"
"Pah!"
"I don't even sell mine! How can I sell Dahai's head!"
...
"Need I say more? He must have seen that Dahai's sandworms are good, and seeing that Zhong Cuihua is old, he wanted to trick her into buying them!"
...
"This man is so evil!"
...
"Dahai is back!"
...
The people in the village heard Zhong Cuihua's scolding and rushed out of the house, just in time to see Zhao Dahai dragging someone.
Zhao Dahai walked to the door of his house, left Sun Xiaozhi, and asked carefully if grandma Zhong Cuihua was okay before he felt relieved. He had to be careful about everything when he was old. He and grandma Zhong Cuihua were the only ones left in the family, and he would never forgive himself for anything that happened.
Sun Xiaozhi's eyes were full of stars, his ears were buzzing, and the kick in his stomach was so painful that he wanted to vomit but couldn't. He struggled for a long time before getting up, spitting out saliva, and two teeth fell out.
"I was wrong in this matter."
"I am from Guanghua Village, which is 200 kilometers away. My name is Sun Xiaozhi."
Sun Xiaozhi stood up with a limp and admitted his mistake directly.
The fishing village is full of people who go out to sea to make money with their heads tied to their belts. The people are tough, but no matter what, this is not ancient times, and they are used to being reasonable. But the man in front of him didn't say a word and just took action. He is a typical ruthless person.
The key is that I have no place to reason about this matter today.
It's okay to get goods at a low price in business, but no matter what means, the seller must nod.
Now the seller didn't nod and followed him into the house without permission?
I have no place to reason even if my legs are broken.
Don't admit it?
Is it useful to deny it?
It's useless to say anything in front of a 70-year-old woman. You don't need to think about the result of reporting the case. I am an outsider and I don't know if I can run away. My home is nearby. 200 kilometers is really not far, and I am doing business. It is easy for Zhao Dahai to find me and ruin my business.
Sun Xiaozhi has been doing business for many years and knows that admitting the mistake directly at this time will save him less suffering. He has done this before when collecting sandworms. At most, he would just curse a few times.
Who would have thought that he would run into a ruthless person today?
The old man took a hatchet and kicked and slapped the young man without saying a word.
Zhao Dahai didn't expect Sun Xiaozhi to be so single. He admitted his mistake and reported his family. Grandma Zhong Cuihua was fine. He had already beaten the man. He didn't say anything and let Sun Xiaozhi go.
Sun Xiaozhi returned to the village drying yard, packed up his things, and drove away. He couldn't do business in this place anymore.
Zhao Dahai entered the yard and closed the door.
"Grandma!"
"You are really too fierce!"
Zhao Dahai really didn't expect Grandma Zhong Cuihua to take a hatchet directly.
"Hey!"
"That kid wants to cheat me?"
"No way!"
"I said I won't sell it. If you come into the house with me, I will definitely take a knife."
Zhong Cuihua was righteous.
Zhao Dahai gave a thumbs up. No matter what is right or wrong, protecting yourself is the most important thing.
