Wu Jun could feel the huge impact of the industry fluctuations on the elderly between her words.
He could feel the helplessness and despair within the old man.
Looking at the old man’s appearance, she was already seventy years old and up.
It is also the sadness of the old people in the countryside that they have to worry about their livelihood at such an old age.
All along, people have been paying more attention to the problem of old age of the urban population, and they often tend to overlook the fact that the problem of old age is even more serious in the poorer rural areas.
As a result of family planning, China has now entered the stage of an ageing population society, and such a state of affairs has brought us many unavoidable social problems.
For example, the supply of labour is declining, thus affecting labour productivity, and so on.
In our rural areas, the problem of population ageing is even more pronounced.
There are many reasons why the rural elderly problem needs to be solved urgently.
Firstly, a large number of young adults have left the countryside to work in the cities.
Because of the lack of economic development in rural areas and the economic pressure on families, many young people will choose to leave their hometowns and seek development in big cities in order to solve their livelihood problems.
After the young people have gone to the cities, the elderly are responsible for the secondary labour in the countryside. However, due to their physical conditions, it is difficult for the elderly to take up excessively heavy physical labour, resulting in too little income from the secondary labour in the countryside.
As the young and strong gradually take root in the city, they are more reluctant to return to the countryside, which leads to the aging problem in the countryside becoming more and more serious.
Xiao Wu Zhuang used to be such a scene, a village full of left-behind children and widows and orphans, rarely see young people in their twenties.
Until Wu Jun returned to his hometown to start his own business, which turned the tide and attracted all the young people who went out to work back.
Because of Wu Jun, the problems faced by Xiao Wu Zhuang have been effectively solved.
But the influence on the surrounding villages is not as big as that of Xiao Wu Zhuang.
For the next door Wangpo Township’s influence is even smaller.
Listening to the accent of the old man’s speech is obviously next door to Wangpo Township, not Beiqi Township people.
Guo village side already belongs to the border zone of Beiqi Township, and the nearest village to Wangpo Township is about five kilometres away.
Wu Jun confirmed to the old man, “Auntie, are you from Wangpo Township?”
The old man looked at Wu Jun and said with a smile, “Yes! Everyone on earth knows where our sweet potato vermicelli is delicious.”
“Then you ……” Wu Jun glanced at the cart on the old man’s stall, his heart seemed to be clenched, “Then how did you come here? Wang Po township to here is not close it?”
“It’s a long way to go! In order to sell more vermicelli in the morning, I went out at five o’clock in the morning, and this is not ready to close the stall, I have to hurry back, old eyesight late darkness can not see the road.”Although the old man said how hard he worked, but his face was always smiling.
In the sunset, the old man’s smile so kind, so kind, but it pierced Wu Jun’s heart.
An old man who was more than seventy years old and could hardly even straighten his body, pushed his family’s goods with a wheelbarrow and came to the big fair to sell his goods from thousands of metres away.
Although Wu Jun and the old man did not have a trace of relationship, but the heart is very intolerant, asked in a deep voice: “Your children, do not come to pick you up and drop you off? So far away from the road, a round trip has to go how long ah, they also rest assured under.”
“My family waer only come back on the 28th day of the lunar month miles, in the big city work miles, is the city people, if it is not want to give the waer’s waer package a big red envelope, I also do not bother this effort year after year to do this, dial up the two acres of land will be enough for their own food and drink.”
After the old man answered Wu Jun’s question, hurriedly pull back to the topic: “Boss how much you want, I give you weigh ah, full catty full two, less weighing you go to the cattle family puddle to find me, my name is cattle Guixiang.”
Wu Jun breathed a long sigh of relief, pointing to the old man’s stall on the sweet potato vermicelli said: “You these I want, on the weighing it.”
“What? I’ll take them all! Boss son good powerful ah! Then I can weigh it?”The old man looked at Wu Jun with a happy face, and at the same time, he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he confirmed again.
Wu Jun nodded his head and said, “Weigh it, I’ll take it all.”
“Hey! This will be weighed, this will be weighed!”The old man nodded his head busily, picked up the pole scale swiftly and started weighing, afraid that Wu Jun would change his mind and not want it.
There were several bundles of sweet potato vermicelli on the old man’s stall, and he was busy for a while before he finished weighing.
After weighing out the total, the old man took out a small computer from his pocket and pressed a few times to get the calculation result.
The old man looked to Wu Jun, with an expectant face, said: “Boss, the total is 169 jin, 845 yuan, you give me 843 yuan on the middle, give you two dollars cheaper.”
The old lady only give two dollars cheaper, but also a face of meat pain look, Wu Jun did not feel funny, but some heartache.
Two dollars for himself is nothing, fall on the ground are too lazy to pick up.
But for the old lady, two yuan can buy four steamed buns, a day’s rations.
Wu Jun took out his mobile phone and asked in a soft voice, “Auntie, do you have WeChat? I will transfer money to you.”
The old man rubbed his hands, a face for it: “No that what letter ah, you can not be tired to give me cash ah?”
It looks like the old man doesn’t even have a mobile phone, Wu Jun realised that he was too careless.
Mobile phones are already very popular for the elderly in the city.
But in the countryside, like the old lady this age old people have mobile phones really not many.
Not to mention Shuo Weixin code payment.
Used to mobile payment, Wu Jun has not seen what money looks like for a long time, and now he does not have a cent of cash in his hand.
Just when he was calculating where to get cash, there were a few more old people gathered around and took the initiative to talk to him.
“Boss, my family’s vermicelli is also good, buy some more!”
“Boss, buy my family’s, I’ll deliver it to your home!”
“Boss, my family’s vermicelli will make you want to eat the next tonne.”
Looking at a few old people who surrounded the old man who fervently marketed their own products, Wu Jun had no impatience in his heart, only infinite pity.
Wu Jun hasn’t done anything yet, the old lady next to him is not happy first.
The old lady pointed at the three old men and said angrily: “Niu Dazhuang, Niu Sankui, Niu calf, what are you three doing! The boss has already bought my family, just one hand to pay one hand to the goods, you want to rob me of an old woman’s business!”
Obviously the old lady took the three old men surrounding Wu Jun as competitors, no wonder she was so nervous.
Several people are surnamed Niu, the old lady can also call out a few people’s names, Wu Jun heart speculation they should be next door to the Wangpo township over to Guo village this side of the market, or even a village.
The three old men were reprimanded by the old lady, their faces were a little embarrassed.
One of the old men defended: “Who robbed your business, we are afraid that your flour is not enough to satisfy the big boss, so we came over to ask the boss if he still wants it.”
The old lady was still a bit angry: “Cow and calf I still don’t know you, you are the worst in our village, you sell for 6 yuan when others sell for 7 yuan, you sell for 5 yuan when others sell for 6 yuan, in the past years, things that cost 10 yuan were sold for 5 or 6 yuan, and it’s all because of you!”
“I don’t want to sell it more expensive! I don’t want to!”The old man, who the old lady called Cow and Calf, gripped his neck and stared at the old lady, “That’s all you’ve got, just sell it all, I can’t sell thousands of pounds in my family, can’t I not be anxious! I can’t help it, but I’d like to sell it for 10 yuan a catty like in the past years, who wouldn’t want that? Who has a grudge against money and doesn’t want to make more money? The key is, can you sell it?”
Without warning, the old man and the old lady in the eyes of Wu Jun quarrel, the two wide-eyed, quarrel out of the fire.
The two old men next to him saw this and hurriedly persuaded the fight.
“Okay, okay, are a Zhuang decades of neighbours, and are so old, quick don’t be angry, this year was not good, we all have fire in the heart, and then quarrel a few angry body can not be worth it.”
“Yes, quick don’t quarrel, let the boss child saw our ox family pudding joke.”
When it comes to Wu Jun this big patron, it still has some effect.
Cow calf old man and cow guixiang old lady stopped quarrelling, turned around together, carefully looked at Wu Jun, afraid that he was angry, and didn’t buy anyone’s. Wu Jun didn’t notice that the two of them were looking at Wu Jun.
Wu Jun did not notice the gazes that the two people threw at him.
He looked round and swept both sides of the street of the big fair, and roughly counted in his heart.
In addition to the three old men in front of him, there were eight or nine other old men selling sweet potato vermicelli at stalls.
The number of sweet potato vermicelli carried by these old people was about the same as that of Niu Guixiang’s old lady, and all of them pushed a few bundles in a small cart to sell.
This thing is different from vegetables and fruits and other fast-consuming products, a big fair can sell dozens of pounds are considered lucky, there is no need to bring more.
There is also, the road is far, they are pushing a cart to catch the market, their age can not push too heavy goods, a hundred pounds is already the limit.
Wu Jun’s gaze at the old people around the stalls was interpreted by Mrs Niu Guixiang as a “look of indifference”.
It was hard to come across a big customer, almost a success, and then this current change, the old lady’s heart was in her throat.
Niu Guixiang clenched her teeth and raised her eyes to Wu Jun again, as if she had made up her mind.
“Boss’er, like this, I’ll give you another 3 yuan cheaper, you’ll give me a total of 840 yuan just in.”The old lady gave Wu Jun another three dollars cheaper on top of the original foundation, which was already a big concession for her.
The cow calf who was just quarrelling with the old lady also helped to speak, “Boss, Niu Guixiang is the best at making sweet potato vermicelli in our Niujiawa, you definitely won’t regret buying hers.”
The old man on the side also helped the old lady: “Yes boss, buy Niu Guixiang’s, she is the only widow in her family, and her son only comes home once a year, it’s not a good life.”
Wu Jun heard the crowd’s words in his ears, turned to look at the crowd, smiled and said, “Grandpa and grandma, don’t misunderstand, the old lady’s vermicelli I said I would take it, and I definitely won’t go back on my word.”
The crowd simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts after hearing Wu Jun’s assurance.
“And that is, I’ll take all of yours, including their vermicelli, all inclusive.”
Wu Jun pointed remotely at the old people who set up stalls on both sides of the road and continued, “I’ll call my contacts to send a car over to pull the goods, and bring the money over by the way, I’m not hiding anything from you all, I don’t have a cent of cash money on me.”
“What! All, all, all of it!”
“And ours is all wrapped up too?”
“Boss’er, you’re not making fun of us few old men, right?”
A few grandfathers were instantly unsettled after hearing Wu Jun’s words.
Their wrinkled faces were both surprised and puzzled, their expressions were very complicated.
Wu Jun nodded and said, “Right, you heard right, I want all the sweet potato vermicelli in the big fair today.”
“Boss’er you are too open!”
“Thank you boss, thank you boss!”
“Good people live in peace, blessings to the boss for a lifetime of great luck!”
After receiving Wu Jun’s affirmative answer, the crowd gleefully expressed their gratitude to him in their own way.
Wu Jun softly said, “A few of you help to go and gather the stalls’ grandpas and grandmas, let’s find a spacious place, so that we can load our lorries when they come over later.”
The three old men did not act immediately after hearing Wu Jun’s words.
The three looked at each other and exchanged glances, and the old man who had just argued with the old lady and was called Cow and Calf took a step forward and stood in front of Wu Jun.
Cow and calf old man asked: “Boss, I dare to ask, how many dollars you charge?”
Wu Jun gave a sunny smile, and then realised that he hadn’t told a few moncler outlet store moncler outlet store what the purchase price was until now.
Wu Jun weighed the price in his mind and said, “I just forgot to say to you, 8 yuan a catty, how many to how many.”
“What! 8 yuan a catty!”
“8 yuan a catty? I, am I mishearing with my ears back!”
“This, this, this ……”
Several old men and women were stunned after hearing Wu Jun’s offer.
They had thought that Wu Jun wanted such a large amount at once and would definitely have to suppress the price.
Never thought that this boss in front of them not only didn’t suppress the price, but also gave a high price which was the same as the previous years!
This price is not Wu Jun’s random nonsense, it is what he asked from Cui Changfu, the mayor of Wangpo Township, and it is considered to be a more balanced price.
This price acquisition, farmers not only can preserve the capital, there is still earn, 1 catty of profit has 2 yuan or so, is not considered profiteering.
After acquiring a large number of their own, and then looking for channels to sell, they would not lose money.
“Right, all of you have heard correctly, is 8 yuan 1 catty.”Wu Jun finished a sentence, but also specially reminded a sentence, “And that is I remind you all, the hand of sweet potato vermicelli don’t sell in a hurry again, I got some gossip, tomorrow maybe there will be good news from the industry.”
After the crowd heard Wu Jun’s words, you look at me, I look at you, all can see the surprise from each other’s eyes.
8 yuan 1 catty, this price given by Wu Jun has reached last year’s market price, no wonder the crowd is not happy.
In this year’s market continues for many days in the doldrums do not see any improvement in the complex situation, can also reach this price, the crowd dare not dream of.
Unlike the expressions of several old masters, the old lady heard Wu Jun’s words and looked at him with the most complicated expression.
Her sweet potato vermicelli were all calculated at five dollars a catty for Wu Jun, before and after she also gave him five dollars cheaper.
After Wu Jun saw the old lady’s expression, he couldn’t bear to make her anxious again, smiled and said, “Auntie, you recalculate again according to 8 yuan a catty, I treat all of you equally, if you want to charge 8 yuan, it’s all 8 yuan.”
“This, this ……” old lady face expression immediately cloudy to clear, feel happiness come too suddenly!
