Thinking this, Lin Yun quickly said, 'Well, I'll stop for now. I'll pull these vegetables to the county first and find Zhangzi...'
With that, Lin Yun quickly lifted the handlebars and pulled a cart of vegetables out the door.
This time, Lin Yun still didn't meet anyone when he went out.
Lin Yun pulled the vegetables all the way to the county.
Although he was pulling the vegetables, Lin Yun was not idle. He used the footwork he had learned on the Universal Trading System to get familiar with it little by little.
It had to be said that the martial arts sold on the Universal Trading System were not to be underestimated. Lin Yun had originally learned some footwork and the like, but compared to this footwork, it was much inferior.
Footwork is also very important in battle. A good footwork can allow the weak to defeat the strong, and the few to defeat the many.
Lin Yun practiced his footwork while pulling the cart, which made him look rather strange pulling the cart, and inevitably attracted the attention of many passers-by.
'Alas, what a sin. If you don't let the tricycles pass, you force these vegetable farmers to pull the carts manually...'
'It's getting more and more primitive...'
'I haven't seen a rickshaw like this for many years, I'll take a photo quickly...'
'There are no buses, the tricycles are not allowed to drive, and the taxis are astronomical, this life is unbearable...'
'You can't go to the county town...'
Some people shook their heads and whispered.
The tricycle is the mainstream mode of transport in Xianyuan County, and a total ban on them affects more than just a small number of people, causing a lot of resentment.
Lin Yun had good hearing, and he could hear even the faintest of sounds from a distance. Listening to the people's discussions, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He didn't know why the leaders of Xianyuan County had made the decision to ban all tricycles, but this policy had undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among many people.
At the moment, he quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the county town.
With so many people discussing things, he felt bad walking slowly and being pointed at and discussed by so many people along the way.
Although he was walking quickly, it still took Lin Yun about forty to fifty minutes to walk to the wholesale market.
The longer Lin Yun walked, the more his face fell.
It had taken him 45 minutes to walk here at this speed.
If it was his father, how long would it take him to walk here?
Even if he made one round trip a day, just being on the road would take two to three hours.
If they make two trips, almost half a day will be spent on the road fetching vegetables.
Their family has several mu of vegetable fields, but if they have to rely on this method to fetch vegetables, not to mention how tiring it is, how much can they fetch?
Not to mention that they don't have any customers right now, even if they did, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to keep up with the pace of fetching vegetables.
He knows that vegetables are generally best delivered to customers in the morning...because even if it's a restaurant, if it's prepared in the morning, it can be used at noon and in the afternoon, but if it's delivered at noon or in the afternoon, the other party may not be able to use it until the next day, and it won't be fresh.
In the market, not to mention, almost all business is done in the morning, and there is no business in the afternoon.
'Please, don't take away my family's tricycle. I didn't know that tricycles were not allowed in the city. I came here to buy food. Because I bought a lot, the electric car couldn't fit. I will definitely not enter the city next time. Please...' Just then, Lin Yun heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.
Lin Yun looked up and saw several law enforcement officers dragging an elderly man's tricycle and about to push it away.
'Let go! Let go of me! This is our job. Talk to the boss if you have a problem. We didn't make this policy!' A fat law enforcement officer shouted.
'Li, get the vegetables off the cart. Wang, bring the tow truck over. We'll tow the cart away!' Then the fat law enforcement officer looked up at his two colleagues and said.
'Okay!' With these words, the two officers immediately got to work: one swept the vegetables off the cart, while the other went to start the tow truck next to them.
Seeing this, the old man became even more agitated, tears falling from his eyes as he clutched his tricycle with both hands and begged, 'Please, please, I won't come back, I won't come back...'
Many people were already pointing and laughing around, and some had even started to scold the law enforcement officers.
However, this only made the law enforcement officers even more infuriated. How could the elderly man compete with them in strength? They forced open the elderly man's hands. One law enforcement officer stopped the elderly man, while another skillfully drove the tricycle onto the trailer. Yet another law enforcement officer threw down a piece of paper and said coldly, 'Keep this ticket. Go to the parking lot to deal with it in a month. Prepare the money!'
'I'm kneeling down for you, please, please, don't take away my family's tricycle...' Just then, the old man suddenly knelt down, kept kowtowing to these law enforcement officers, and said with tears all over his face.
However, those law enforcement officers ignored him and drove away.
Only the vegetables that were scattered all over the floor and the old man kneeling on the ground were left behind. The old man was full of despair.
Lin Yun looked at this scene with a gloomy face.
No matter what the leaders of Xianyuan County's motives were in making this policy, he didn't have a good impression of it at all.
Just now, the actions of those law enforcement officers were even worse than animals.
Thinking about it, some time ago, his father pulled the vegetables into the city at three or four in the morning, and the tricycle was also taken away, and the vegetables were dumped all over the place.
A trace of anger arose in his heart.
At that time, was his father's mood the same as this old man's?
He didn't even dare to think about it.
'Old man, get up quickly, the ground is cold, and you take this money...'
Lin Yun put down the bike behind him, walked over, and said softly:
He took 3,000 yuan out of his pocket and handed it to the old man.
Just now, he didn't have time to stop what those people were doing, and it was not good to stop them either.
After saying that, he turned and left.
This was not the only such thing.
The wholesale market was a place where tricycles could easily come and go. Not far away, there was another incident where a tricycle was confiscated. However, the owner of that tricycle was a middle-aged woman, and she did not act as violently as the old man. Lin Yun did not go and ask about it.
This incident was not an isolated one. It was an entire incident in Xianyuan County. How could he possibly manage it all?
In the middle of the wholesale market, Lin Yun found Gangzi's stall.
Although they had not seen each other for five years, Lin Yun still recognised his best friend at first glance.
Under a simple canopy, in a stall of just the right size, Gangzi was talking to a customer.
'One yuan per pound, sold by the box, this is the cheapest price. Apples are generally expensive this year, and the apples in my family are of high quality. You won't find three like mine in the whole market. You can try them... How about this, if you buy two boxes, I'll give you two pounds for free, and if you buy three boxes, I'll give you four pounds for free. Each box of apples weighs 12 pounds, so four pounds is almost half a box...' Just then, Gangzi, with his short hair, was smiling and talking to the customer.
Lin Yun looked at the scene with a faint smile and did not go over.
However, what did Gangzi do?
He was in business, and there were people around, so how could he not pay attention?
'Lin Yun!!! You're back!!!' Gangzi looked up and saw Lin Yun. He was first startled, and then said with a face full of excitement.
He quickly put down the apples in his hands and walked quickly towards Lin Yun.
Halfway there, he suddenly thought of the guests over there, so he quickly turned his head to look over and burst out laughing, 'My buddy is back today, and I'm in a really good mood. If you buy one box, I'll give you two catties for free; if you buy three boxes, I'll give you one box for free. If you want to buy, just pick what you like, and feel free to pick as many apples as you like!'
