Chapter 113: Aunt Huang Sells Jelly Against the Wind

The reason was that Lao Fu had been sitting here for two hours, but no one came to exchange with him. He called his son and cried:

"Son, it's been two hours and I haven't changed a single artistic photo."

"They didn't even come over to look. Your Uncle Li and Uncle Liao both left me to go to other stalls."

"I look so handsome, exactly like in the photo. It's definitely not my fault. It's because your photo is too ugly."

Fu Lanshan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

It was the first time he heard someone blame the gifts for not being able to sell genuine products.

But Old Fu was crying so sadly on the other end of the phone that Fu Lanshan couldn't bear to scold him anymore.

I just pointed out the problem very calmly: "You used your photos as a selling point. This decision was wrong from the beginning. Who would take someone else's photo home when they have nothing better to do?"

Fu Lanshan really couldn't understand what was going on in his father's mind.

The items used for exchange must at least be valuable.

As his son, he couldn't figure out what the value of Mr. Fu's artistic photos was.

He couldn't say that Lao Fu had no business acumen. After all, the office he sat in now and such a big company were the result of Lao Fu's hard work.

What gave him the illusion that his pictures were popular? His inflated narcissism.

Fu Lanshan continued to ask: "Dad, how are you popular in school?"

"I must be popular." The more Old Fu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He howled in excitement, "Before, when I walked on the street, there were always a group of people secretly looking at me."

"He pointed at me and told the people next to him that wherever I went, I was the talk of the town and everyone looked at me with admiration."

In fact, Mr. Fu was indeed over-imagining things.

People look at him and talk about him because he is famous for being "dishonest" in school. Everyone wants to see what this "lively duo" who gets into trouble and makes jokes every day looks like.

Uncle Li, another one of the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix, who is smart enough and has an IQ higher than that of Old Fu, has also encountered the same situation, but he realized that the two of them were being treated as "monkeys".

So every time he went out, he pushed Lao Fu to walk in front of him and blocked him completely.

Old Fu was as intoxicated as if he was walking at a fashion week, and Uncle Li mistakenly thought that it was because of his strong mental strength.

The result is overconfidence and immersion in the truth that one has imagined in one's own mind.

At this time, Old Fu still didn't understand the deep meaning of it, and was still arguing for himself: "After all, I was a handsome guy when I was young, and now I'm old, it's not bad."

Fu Lanshan thought about Old Fu, who usually didn't shave but sprayed hairspray, wore a suit with slippers, and loved all kinds of ugly decorations. He couldn't say a compliment against his will.

Ultimately, it was because Mr. Fu was too narcissistic and was blinded by fantasy.

Old Fu couldn't hear his son's words of agreement, so he said loudly, "I don't want to play anymore. I want to go home."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lanshan quickly called Lin Qinglan for help, asking her if she could arrange for Old Fu to help at another stall so that he could have some sense of participation.

We can’t let Mr. Fu taste the sweetness of going home early. He must taste the bitterness of life in school.

It was not a difficult task for Lin Qinglan. The original intention of setting up the flea market was to make the uncles and aunts happy. She tried to find a way to solve Lao Fu's problem.

Old Fu is now also making trouble for Uncle Li and Uncle Liao who have returned.

"We agreed to share the joys and sorrows and accomplish great things together. Why did you just turn around and run to another stall? Do you think you can live up to my trust?"

"Are you going to quit your business? Are you tired of making ends meet? Or do you think other businesses are more attractive?"

"I know, you must find me annoying."

"Go away, and don't come back. Let's break up. It was all my wishful thinking, and it ended up being nothing."

Uncle Li just went to Aunt Huang's stall at her family's supermarket and exchanged three bags of jelly, thinking that each of the three of them would get one bag.

I didn’t hear any words of thanks, but first I saw Lao Fu playing “Qiong Yao”.

"If you don't want to eat the jelly, I'll take it away." Uncle Li silently took back Mr. Fu's favorite green apple-flavored jelly.

"No! Who said I don't want it?" Old Fu tore open the jelly decisively, fearing that Uncle Li would withdraw it again.

The head can be cut off, jade can be broken, but the food in your mouth cannot fly away.

He is no longer a sunny young man of 18, but a greedy old man of 67.

"Where did you buy it? Didn't Principal Kobayashi say not to exchange food? Why are there still people doing this?" Old Fu slurped the jelly with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Lin Qinglan’s rule for this flea market is not to exchange food. In addition to worrying about food safety issues, the flea market would lose a large part of its meaning if the items purchased were used for exchange.

Their flea markets are about communication, not exchange.

Uncle Li said it more directly:

"You are stupid, of course she can't say that she bought the jelly, she said she made it by hand."

"Besides, she sells it cheaply, and everyone thinks they've made a lot of money. Who would care whether she bought it or made it herself? They certainly wouldn't report it to Principal Lin."

Lao Fu slurped another mouthful of jelly and smacked his lips. He must have bought it. If you make it yourself, it won't have such obvious sweetness and fruity taste. Only saccharin and additives can achieve this.

He didn't know for a moment whether he liked eating jelly or eating additives.

Lao Fu: “How cheap is it?”

Uncle Liao: "Exchange one and get two free."

Old Fu calculated in his mind that this was jelly from a well-known snack brand. It seemed that Aunt Huang had spent a lot of money this time.

"Let's go and exchange more. It's not every day that we can get such a good deal." Old Fu excitedly grabbed a handful of his own artistic photos on the table and pushed the "gift" photo of Fu Lanshan to the bottom.

Compared with Old Fu, Uncle Li and Uncle Liao are much more pragmatic.

Uncle Li brought his erhu, although he only knew how to play "Erquan Yingyue". Uncle Liao knew Tai Chi, and both of them had been performing arts to exchange for goods along the way.

There are many uncles and aunts like them. They can exchange their items for others to perform talents, or they can perform a talent themselves to exchange for items.

Those who have something real will use it real, those who don’t have something real will use their talents.

In short, the main feature is that you can do whatever you want without cash transactions.

Uncles and aunts will discuss before exchanging items, and as long as both parties agree, the transaction is equal.

Uncle Liao suddenly said, "I'm not going. I need to go back to the dormitory to get the wheelchair."

"Your leg has healed a long time ago, why are you still in a wheelchair?" Old Fu was curious.

"I'm going to deliver the goods." Uncle Liao said and ran away.

Uncle Li was also confused: "I just bought some jelly, and he took private work behind my back?"

The two of them didn't think much about it. They arrived at Aunt Huang's jelly stall and looked at Uncle Liao opposite them.

Also raised questions:

"Why are you here?"
