Chapter one hundred and seventy-four, switchman(1/2)

As it was dawn, Nan Yi was wrapped tightly, and he carried a basket and crossed the wire to his vegetable garden.

In spring, Nan Yi asked Xian Yaodong to cut off the excess orange flowers.

There are not many fruits on the orange tree.

However, the fruits are very beautiful, and their colors, shapes and sizes are just like pumpkins.

Well, just follow suit.

It would be strange if you don’t need fertilizer or spray pesticides.

Holding a pair of pruning shears, Nan Yi stood on the ground and cut off the oranges, some of which were three in a string, and some of which were two in pairs.

There are some broken marks in the treetops in some locations, and it is not necessary to say that it was Chen Weizong's grandson who came to pick them.

Wenchangwei is no longer a fleeing Hong Kong route. Recently, it is popular to go to the Shenqi River to find solutions. When the villagers pick it, it is impossible to fold the treetops like this.

After spitting at the grandson, Nan Yi speeded up his hand. There were too many caterpillars on the tree. When sweat soaked his clothes, his body might itch.

There are more than a dozen orange trees, and only two baskets of oranges cut off. Nan Yi thought that he would cut the orange flowers again next year and let them grow freely in the next year.

Carrying a basket, as soon as I crossed the wire, I met Chen Weizong who was patrolling.

"Skin's shovel, you can pick oranges, why did you hurt my orange tree?"

"Offline, how did you know I took it?"

"Nonsense, after three months, the smell of your urine still remains under the tree."

"Stop, leave some!"

"Save a shit, go to my place tonight."

"Nan Yi, I'm going to retire this year." Chen Weizong suddenly said in a desolate manner.

"when?"

"Go to the beginning of December."

"Send comrades to the army, go on a journey, silently crying..."

"Go and go, I haven't left yet."

"Then tell me, don't block me, I have to go to the city to sell oranges."

"Make a few more dishes tonight."

"I know."

Nan Yi continued to carry the basket forward, but met Xian Yaoguo who didn't know why he came to the field.

"Nan Yi, are you back?"

"Well, Uncle Yaoguo, what are you doing?"

"Today I have time to go to the arsenal and wipe your guns. The People's Armed Forces Department has notified me that the Shajiaotou Militia Battalion has been reduced to a company, and the Wenchang Surrounding Militia Company has been lost."

OK, Nan Yi, a soldier who is not a soldier, is also facing retirement.

"Well, I understand, the afternoon is over." Nan Yi also said in a slight manner.

"Tomorrow morning, we will practice again. Alas, no one can get together." Xian Yaoguo sighed.

Nan Yi returned home with a basket, left about 20 kilograms of oranges at home, put out the bicycle to hold the basket on the schoolbag rack, and rode the bike to the city.

He whipped and rode the car all the way to Shennan Middle Road.

As soon as the Jiefang Cluster was opened, dust was raised, making people covered in dust.

I ate all the dust all the way and finally arrived at Renmin Road. I happened to encounter digging trenches and burying culverts on the side of the road. There was also mud on the road.

Nanyi saw two people setting up stalls in an open space with many cars parked beside him. He also rode his car over and parked it next to a vendor who also sold fruits.

"Nanyi, are you here to sell fruits too?"

Hehe, it’s a coincidence that the people who sell fruits are also from Wenchang.

Nan Yi couldn't remember who this person was, but he could be sure that the other party must have the surname Xian, and his name was Xian Yao×.

"Yes, Uncle, do you usually set up a stall here?"

"Not necessarily, I'm going to sell it. There are the most people here, so I'm selling it here."

“Is the business easy to do?”

"It's okay, I can earn twenty a day."

"That's not bad. I didn't bring any weight. In a while, I'll lend you your envoy."

"If you use it casually, Nanyi, your orange is not good, the price is too bad, and the price will definitely not be high."

"Not necessarily, you'll know when you see how I sell it."

After the two finished the conversation, Nan Yi's head turned around and his eyes dripped at the passing pedestrians.

One minute, two minutes...twenty minutes, I didn't see the target customer he wanted to recruit. The two guests who came to the door bought a little guava from the uncle next door, but they were disdainful of Nanyi's oranges.

Nan Yi was not in a hurry, and his eyes were still looking at the pedestrians.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Two foreigners came towards us, one man and one woman, who were about forty years old, and their racial characteristics were not obvious. It was possible for Eagle Country, Singular Country, and Australia.

Since you can't tell the difference between nationality, then shout...

"Orange, orange, Elizabeth I orange, no fertilizer applied, no pesticide injection, pure natural green and pollution-free."

Needless to ask, Nan Yi's shout must be in London accent.

"Sir, ma'am, look, there are insect eyes on it, and you definitely have never used pesticides."

Nan Yi held two oranges in his hand and stretched under the eyes and noses of the two foreigners.

The female foreigner took the orange and looked at it, and asked, "Isn't I really used pesticides?"

"No, you see, these leaves are bitten by bugs. In fact, I have been outside this year and the orangery has never been cooked. I just came back this morning and hurriedly picked oranges and sold them."

“oh, how much?”

“80p per pound.”

As soon as the female foreigner spoke, Nan Yi could tell that she was a Eagle Man.

"Only pounds?"

“Forex coupons are OK, 4 yuan.”

"Ahhh, then I'll pay pounds." The foreigner smiled, "Give me two pounds."

"You can pick it yourself, maybe you can buy an extra pound, I can get 20p cheaper."

"No, too much, I can't finish it."

The female foreigner waved her hand and reached into the basket to select.

Nan Yi took the weighing from the next door, put a plastic bag on the weighing plate, and held it in his hand to wait.

The plastic bags are old bags accumulated at home, all brought from Xianggu to Tianshui, one by one.

Although it is old, it is absolutely clean. Nan Yi has washed and dried them all.

The female foreigner picked out a few more oranges and stopped, "That's all, enough."

"Ok, I'll give you a thumbs up."

Nan Yi pulled the weight with his fingers. When he hit the scale of two pounds, the scale rod was still raised high, and he knew that the scale was nine ounces. The weight was estimated. The oranges in the scale plate were only about two pounds and one ounce, but the weight was two pounds and three ounces, and the scale rod was slightly raised.

"Look, 1.15 kg, equivalent to 2.5 pounds, I'll count you two pounds."

"Okay, you're so nice."

The female foreigner praised Nan Yi and handed him two pounds.

"Sorry, I don't have pennies to look for you. Can I find you RMB or Hong Kong dollars?"

"Yes, I want RMB."

"Okay, the official price is 3.42, 40p now, I'll look for you 1 yuan.4."

“There are too many.”

"Not many, you are foreign guests and should be treated preferentially." Nan Yi handed over the money and said, "Welcome to Shenzhen and wish you a wonderful day."

"Thank you, and I wish you a blessing. Your English is very good. Have you been to London?"

"No, I've been to Kazuka."

After seeing off the two foreigners, Nan Yi turned around and said, "Uncle, you have been beaten a lot, are you?"

"Hehe!" the next door smiled awkwardly.

"Continue to use the nine-liang scale. Every time I pass the scale, I give it a little more, and I say it's a gift. In this way, when people go back, they don't care too much about your verbal benefits, and they also go back to business. Of course, it's better to give it enough scale. Don't be smart."

Nan Yiliang said the pound in Liang's hand.
