Volume 8 Chapter 5 Mayor Li asks for the price

Li Yi looked at the customer, who took a sip of powder and said, "I used to do business at that farmer's market, and now I'm here to help people." ”

"What do you mean, is it the supermarket and the government working together to suppress the vegetable merchants in this area? Don't let them open a vegetable market again? Liang Fengping asked.

"yes, that's it!" The customer who ate the powder said excitedly: "I don't know how much benefit those government people have received from the supermarket!" ”

Li Yi finished breakfast and came to the bus stop next to him with Liang Fengping and Qian Duo. Just now, the kind-hearted shopkeeper told Li Yi that he could take a bus from here to the nearest vegetable market.

"Mayor Li, in such a big city, there will always be problems of one kind or another, you don't have to mind." Liang Fengping was afraid that Li Yi would be depressed by these dirty things when he first arrived, and he spoke out to enlighten him.

Li Yi looked calm and said with a smile: "With such a large government department, there are always some places where supervision is not in place, which is not unusual. ”

At this moment, it is the rush hour for work, and there are many people waiting for the bus at the bus stop. Li Yi and the others were waiting for bus No. 2, and the owner of the powder shop said that there would be a trip in ten minutes, but Li Yi waited here for almost twenty minutes, and there was no bus No. 2 coming.

After waiting for a few more minutes, a No. 2 bus slowly drove over like an old man. The car was packed with people. As soon as the driver opened the two doors, the people who came down and the people who got on the car were completely unorderly and crowded, and the slogan "on the front door, under the rear door" written on the body of the car was in vain. Both doors have people who get on and people who get off.

Li Yi looked at the time, it was already seven forty, and he thought that everyone else had to go to work, and his own affairs were not in a hurry, so he didn't go to squeeze space with everyone. Liang Fengping and Qian Duo saw that Li Yi did not move, and they both stood beside Li Yi and did not move.

The No. 2 bus has been full for a long time. It looks like you can't even squeeze in one person. didn't think about it, and forced to stuff more than a dozen people. A puff of black smoke erupted from the butt of the No. 2 bus and slowly drove forward.

The train had just left for a short time, and I had only waited for a few minutes. Another No. 2 bus drove over, this time empty, and there were not many people.

Li Yi smiled: "Sometimes. Wait a little longer, and the sky will be wide. ”

Qian Duo said with a smile: "The bus is often like this, if you don't come, you won't come, and you will come twice." ”

The passengers who rushed to the No. 2 bus all squeezed the first trip and left, and this trip was a lot easier, Li Yi and the three of them went up, and there were two seats in the back.

Li Yi and Liang Fengping sat down, and Qian Duo stood beside him.

Liang Fengping said: "When I was in Mianzhou, I walked around. I feel that this side is still relatively backward, this street is a main street in Mianzhou, but on both sides of the road. They were all built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Urban construction is too backward. ”

Li Yi hummed slightly. said: "It's okay, the city is backward. The potential to prove that it can be developed is enormous. ”

Liang Fengping said with a smile: "Yes, a blank piece of paper can paint a beautiful picture." ”

Qian Duodao: "It also depends on what kind of paper it is, if it is a piece of straw paper, no matter how you can draw, you can't draw a beautiful picture." If it's a piece of high-quality rice paper, it's naturally much better. ”

Li Yi smiled.

Suddenly, the bus braked suddenly.

Qian Duo looked at it and said, "The road is closed in front, and there are traffic police stopping the car." ”

The passenger sitting in front of him said loudly: "It must be the patrol of the official again, every time the official comes out, the police car opens the road, and the traffic police close the road." ”

Someone else laughed and said, "Who called people to be big officials?" For thousands of years, who hasn't dreamed of becoming an official? If it's not good to be an official, who will be it? ”

Liang Fengping said in a low voice: "Mayor Li, it is estimated that the convoy is here to pick you up." ”

Li Yi hummed, leaned over, looked out of the car window, and saw a long convoy driving past the intersection in front, led by the police car, sounding the siren from time to time. There was a row of cars in the back, each with a certain interval between them, driving behind the police car at the same speed.

The traffic police on duty at the intersection stood on the side of the road and saluted respectfully.

After the convoy passed, the traffic police resumed command.

Qian Duo said with a smile: "Yi Shao, they went to pick you up, but they didn't know who they were going to pick up, but they were waiting here to let them pass." ”

Liang Fengping said: "This kind of ushering and sending, in the government, is really a piece of cake and not worth mentioning." In the understanding of many politicians, aren't government departments and institutions just for leaders? ”

Li Yi said: "Although this is a trivial matter, from these things, we can find that there are many bad habits in the management of our government. Extravagance and waste, disturbing the people for no reason, has become a habit in the leadership class. This is very harmful to party and government building. ”

Liang Fengping said: "After you take office, I hope to improve in this regard. ”

Li Yi said: "Accumulated habits are difficult to change, and it is difficult to return!" The social atmosphere is like this, and I am in Mianzhou, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to make great achievements. ”

Bus No. 2 arrived at the front platform, and groups of people poured onto the bus.

Li Yi saw that there was an old man, so he got up and gave up his seat, he sat in the back, and after getting up, he called the old man in front to come and sit in the back.

At this time, a young man with a flat head sat in Li Yi's place.

Li Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Young man, I let this old man sit, you are young and strong, you don't need someone to give up your seat, right?" Please get up. ”

The flat-headed man put his hands on his chest, lay down, looked out of the car window, and said, "You give up your seat anyway, and I sit on him, isn't it all the same?" ”

Li Yi said: "Young man, do you have a little sense of public morality?" I gave the old man's seat, and you also occupy it? ”

The old man had already squeezed to the back, and when he saw this, he said, "Forget it, forget it, let him sit down, I can still stand." Young man, Xiexie, you. It's rare to see a good offspring like you now. ”

Li Yi patted the flat-headed man on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "We all have the day when we are old, do you think your behavior is correct?" ”

The flat-headed man said: "I'll sit on mine, it's your business!" If I were as old as he was, if I didn't even have a private car, I wouldn't have come out and run around! ”

Qian Duo couldn't stand it anymore, reached out and pressed it on his shoulder, squeezed it hard, and said coldly: "Get up!" ”

The flat-headed man groaned and roared, "What are you doing?" ”

Qian Duo said coldly: "Get up!" ”

The flat-headed man got up and slammed his fist at Qian Duo.

Qian Duo slapped his fist, shook his fist, pulled him out of his seat with a forceful pull, and said, "Get out!" ”

Li Yi ignored the fight between the two of them, and said to the old man, "Old man, please sit down!" ”

The flat-headed man said in a fierce voice: "Old immortal, you dare to sit?" I'll beat you to death! ”

The old man hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I don't want to sit, don't sit, you sit." ”

Li Yi helped him and asked him to sit down.

Qian Duo showed his fist, gestured in front of the flat-headed man, and kept a calm face without speaking. This meaning couldn't be more obvious, if you kid owes a beating, my fist will accompany you at any time!

The flat-headed man shook his shoulder, knowing that it was not an opponent with a lot of money, he took a sip, gestured, and turned around and squeezed to the front.

The old man took Li Yi's hand and whispered, "You have to be careful, these years are not peaceful!" It's hard to be a good person. ”

Li Yi patted his hand and said, "Uncle, don't worry, we are not afraid of things." ”

With the experience of the last time on the bus in Jiangzhou, Li Yi paid special attention to his wallet and change in the car this time, his wallet and change were separated, and they were all placed close to his body, and his arms were intentionally or unintentionally protected in these pockets containing money, so that thieves and pickpockets had no chance to take it.

There were three or four stations, and it didn't take long to get to the place.

Li Yi and the three of them squeezed out of the car, asked about the location of the vegetable market at the intersection, and walked there.

The vegetable market here is huge, and it is the time to buy groceries, and the market is full of people.

The shouts of hawkers, the sounds of bargaining, the chimes of motorcycles and bicycles passing by, the chatters of women, and the shouts of children are woven into a wonderful symphony of the world.

The floor in the market is dirty and stained everywhere.

Li Yi put his hands behind his back, looked around as he walked, walked to a stall selling side vegetables, picked up a white radish, and asked, "Boss, how much is this radish a catty?" ”

The woman selling vegetables glanced at Li Yi and said with a smile: "You don't look like a vegetable buyer." ”

Li Yi smiled: "You don't care if I'm a grocery buyer, I ask you, and you can just answer." ”

The woman said the price and then asked, "Do you buy it?" ”

Li Yi was a little embarrassed, he just wanted to ask the price, but he didn't mean to buy it, it was useless for him to buy these dishes?

The woman said, "I knew you weren't a grocery buyer!" ”

Li Yi smiled awkwardly: "Then what do you say I look like?" ”

The woman said, "You look like the leader of the Price Bureau!" ”

Li Yi sighed: "You guys here, do you often have leaders of the Price Bureau come to ask for the price?" ”

The woman said, "I often come to ask for the price." So we buy and sell very fairly here, and the food we sell is very affordable! ”

Li Yi said: "The Price Bureau has still done some practical things!" ”

The woman no longer talked to Li Yi, but just smiled.

Li Yi walked for a while and said to Qian Duo: "Am I really not like an uncle who buys vegetables?" ”

Qian Duo shook his head: "No, I think you look like a mayor!" ”

Li Yi smiled and said to Liang Fengping: "Elder Liang, then please help me ask the price." ”

Liang Fengping laughed at himself: "I look more like an old man with his grandson at home, and it's normal to come out to buy groceries." Walking to a vegetable stall, he also pointed to the white radish and asked the price.

The price that the other party answered was two cents cheaper than what Li Yi asked just now!

Liang Fengping asked if there was any less, and the other party replied that there was no less, and it had always been sold at this price, and Tong Su was not bullied.

Even after asking a few companies, the price of radish that Liang Fengping got was two cents cheaper than the first one Li Yi asked! How can Li Yi be embarrassed?
