I am raising a trumpet on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 10 Neighbors, Market at Night

"How many vegetables do you want to give to the neighbors?"

Guo Xin and Zhu Lin had packed up the dishes, and seeing the large bags of vegetables on the side, they were a little puzzled as to why they bought so many vegetables.

Knowing that it was given by the person Li Feng rescued, the two didn't think much about it. After all, Li Feng told them about rescuing people from car accidents before.

Guo Xin thought of the neighbors in the sub-divided room, so many vegetables would have to be eaten by two people for many days, and they must not be fresh.

Li Feng had already thought about the story of saving lives. From now on, he would definitely get some vegetables over from time to time. He must find an excuse, and he would simply find it in the car accident.

I casually made up a story about myself being hit because I was saving someone. As for why that person had an accident, it was because that person came to Hong Kong Island for the first time and was not familiar with traffic rules.

Li Feng racked his brains and even created an identity. The man who delivered the vegetables in Shencheng was actually Xiaokai, a vegetable delivery company.

That guy sent vegetables, meat, etc. in order to repay his kindness. At that time, these were pure nonsense, but fortunately, the two of them didn't ask much.

"That's one point."

There are a lot of vegetables, adding up to more than ten catties, and there are three families on the side of the subdivided house. One family shares two catties, two tomatoes, two cucumbers, plus spinach, and a few peppers.

"Weilin, take your share back with you."

“The dishes are very fresh.”

"Thank you so much."

Divide it into four parts, and leave some for myself to eat tomorrow. Guo Xin and Li Feng knocked on the neighbor's door with vegetables, and a mother and daughter lived opposite the door.

"What's up?"

"We just moved here. We have some vegetables at home. I'll give you some to eat."

"Thank you."

Sending vegetables, you must know that vegetables on Hong Kong Island are not cheap, a pack of more than two catties, why twenty or thirty mosquitoes, chatted a few words, especially the other two, an old man who lived in one family was a bit weird and didn't open the door.

On the other hand, the young couple on the side were very grateful and gave some small pastries in return.

After delivering the vegetables, Li Feng, Guo Xin, and Zhu Lin went out and walked along Lai Chi Kok Road to Qinzhou Street. "Go to Apliu Street for a stroll. There are more pavements there, and you may be able to buy a cheap dining table."

"Okay."

Walk along Qinzhou Street and come to Yaliu Street. There are quite a lot of people here. Most of them are elderly, almost everyone has a backpack, but there are also a lot of carts. It is very lively to and fro.

"This is Apliu Street, so lively!" Both sides of the street are almost full of stalls, selling all kinds of small items, earphones, mobile phone cases, etc. The streets on both sides sell more large electronic products, game consoles, mobile phones, computers, etc.

"You haven't been here, Rachel said you came to buy a mobile phone and had a car accident, don't you remember?"

"Buy a mobile phone?" Li Feng really didn't know, he was using an old mobile phone, so what about the money for the mobile phone?

"I have money with me?"

"Ten thousand dollars." Zhu Lin got angry when she mentioned this, but she borrowed Rachel's money, a total of [-] dollars, [-] dollars to pay the rent, and even gave Li Feng [-] dollars to buy a new mobile phone.

"Qian Bacheng was cheated by the fat man. This fat man, if you find him, you must teach him a lesson." Li Fengxin said, don't touch this fat man, after all, the money belongs to Guo Xin.

Apliu Street is very lively, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable dining table, preferably a folding table, [-] cm is the best, if it is too big, it won't fit.Strolling all the way to Beihe Street, the sky had already darkened.

There are already many stalls on both sides of the street. Just now Li Feng observed, the hawker managers have already got off work. Of course there will be patrols, but most of them will not care too much.Generally, there will be patrols every hour or so. As long as you grasp the timing well, the stalls don't need to be moved.

The stalls on Hong Kong Island have licenses, but Sham Shui Po is different from other places. It is the poorest of the [-] districts on Hong Kong Island, and there are many old people, poor people, and mental patients. Many of these small stalls are set up by poor old people. released.

Selling some second-hand goods, from a few yuan to dozens of yuan, the hawker management staff basically turn a blind eye at night, as long as no one reports, they usually just chase them away and come back later, usually as if they hadn’t seen them.

Of course, the surrounding shops will often report, after all, it will affect their business. Most of the illegal stalls will wait until the midnight market, that is, after 10:30, and the hawker managers basically get off work, leaving only the on-duty staff.

Moreover, some businesses in the street basically closed their stalls and shops at that time. At this time, no one would report it. After all, they are all poor people, and they always have to give people a way to survive. Occasionally, someone will report, and the management staff will come to drive these old men and mothers-in-law.

It’s just that they seldom confiscate the items on the stalls. After all, most of them help move like fat people. They charge some second-hand items that others don’t want as moving fees, or some people don’t need to donate to the elderly. It’s useless for these item managers to come.

Even if the collection is sent to the garbage disposal agency, it is generally not a big deal, and the government will turn a blind eye. After all, many people are social workers.

"Very cheap."

"This induction cooker only costs fifty mosquitoes."

"Yes."

"Winter, this electric fan only costs [-] cents."

Although there was a lack of fans at home, Li Feng still didn't buy them in the end. The fat man left a shadow on himself. This might be the old man's or the mother-in-law's relics. It's just a matter of looking at it. "Let's go, go to the fruit stand in front."

In the center of Beihe Street is the Beihe Street Market, which is similar to domestic vegetable markets with a total of four floors. Li Feng came here during the day, and it will be at six or seven o'clock. Many stalls outside the market display discounted vegetables and fruits. Of course, they are not very fresh. For the poor, cheapness comes first.

"Very cheap."

"Three kinds of vegetables and twenty mosquitoes."

The three items are about three pounds, and each small plastic basket contains a few vegetables, each of which is placed on top of the [-] mosquito cards, but the leaves of the vegetables are somewhat withered. Very fresh.

If you look carefully, these dishes are not too fresh. Of course, the price is really cheap, only half or even a third of the price in the morning.However, there are many buyers and the sale is very fast. After all, it is cheap, for some people who live in subdivided houses.

This price is the most suitable. As for the lack of freshness and poor taste, most people will not mind.

Because there are so many dishes, some of the dishes spread out will be given to the tea restaurant in the afternoon, and few leftover dishes are sold at night.

There are not many cheap dishes, they sell quickly, and there are more fruits than others.

"The fruit here is very fresh."

Zhu Lin plans to buy some fruits, lychee, longan, etc. Some fruits are very cheap. There are 16 or [-] peaches with the size of a fist, and lychees are only about [-] yuan a catty.

“The price is just right.”

"We'll buy some too."

Apples are not cheap, but durians are really not expensive, about sixty or seventy pounds for five pounds, I really want to buy a few more to take home, this price can not be bought in other places on Hong Kong Island.Bei Ho Market is the largest market in Sham Shui Po. The first floor is mainly seafood, the second and third floors are vegetables and fruits, and the fourth floor is some dry goods.

Li Feng, Guo Xin, and Zhu Lin didn't go in. They just went around the street outside and bought some fruits. Guo Xin didn't buy much, so he was counting the salary all the way. After all, [-] Hong Kong dollars is not much. The rent is almost half.

Li Feng doesn't have a job yet, and he often needs to see a doctor. Fortunately, Zhu Lin borrowed [-] Hong Kong dollars. Well, this puts Li Feng under a little pressure, and it's even harder to break up.

"Fatty, don't run."

When I was about to go back, I saw a familiar figure from a distance, a fat man with lame legs. This bastard not only took off his clothes and shoes, but also took away 1 yuan to buy a mobile phone.

The fat man ran away as soon as he saw Li Feng, and got into the alley in the blink of an eye. Damn you bastard, Li Feng looked at the empty alley, this bastard knows this place too well.

"What about people?"

"lost."

Zhu Lin and Guo Xin chased after them, but they didn't see anyone, and asked.

"I still don't believe it, sooner or later I will catch this dead fat boy."

This bastard, stop setting up a stall. Li Feng plans to stop him when he has time. Now the problem is to solve his own food and clothing, and spend women's money. Li Feng is somewhat unaccustomed to it, mainly because he has never spent it before.

"I will rest the day after tomorrow."

Back in the sub-divided room, Li Feng's mood was quite low again. The place was too depressing and the place was too small, and he was really not used to it. Guo Xin seemed to find that Li Feng was not in a good mood. "I heard from my colleagues that there is a food fair in Mongkok, and many delicacies can be tasted for free. Let's go together."

Free, okay, but, thinking about Guo Xin's family situation is good, now he came to live in this kind of gloomy, small sub-divided room, looking for free food when he went out to play.

This girl is not bad, but unfortunately, she is not that Li Feng, but Li Feng.

Alas, make money first, then look for opportunities to give some compensation, and be gentle when you break up, don't hurt others.

What a girl, what a pity, Li Feng thought so.

Waiting for Guo Xin to fall asleep, Li Feng leaned on the side and lay down. Fortunately, there is a reason now. The car accident is not good, and the two of them have no close contact. There is no way.

"Ugh."

Back at Shaqiu Village, Li Feng began to fiddle with the light beads. It seemed that after twelve o'clock in the evening, the light beads' brightness returned. "Try to bring other items, vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp are all fine."

"Try something else first."

"In the best state, you can carry your mobile phone, but carrying a mobile phone is a bit heavy."

It’s just a mobile phone, and Li Feng feels like his head is going to explode. Forget it, don’t use this thing. The same is true for other items. Only vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meat consume less. Electronic products and metal products cannot be carried in large quantities.

Alas, I can't set up a stall to sell vegetables by myself, but I don't have the capital to buy pictures, and I don't have the money to rent a license, so I can't set up a market, the price is too low, seven or eight yuan a catty of vegetables, compared to the morning market Too cheap.

"Three or four hundred catties of vegetables a day is not a lot of money. What to do with so many vegetables, alas."

Another problem is that even if the food can dispose of the profitable Hong Kong dollars, how can I convert them into RMB? Is it possible to buy durians and bring them back to sell?
