A Corner of the Market

Time: contemporary

Location: in front of a stall in a market

Characters: Hawker (referred to as Xiao), young female (referred to as female), industrial and commercial staff (referred to as worker)

(Inspiration: The hawker is shouting)

Small: Come, take a look , take a look! Don’t miss it if you’re passing by! It’s a sin to miss out! Clearance sale! Big sale at a huge discount! Three pairs of Lanyu socks sold directly by the manufacturer for ten yuan, the last three days! (To the audience) Come on, beauty, take a look at the Lanyu socks sold directly by our factory. (Yelling to the right again) Come on, brother, take a look at my Lanyu, which is sold directly by the manufacturer. It costs ten yuan for three pairs. It’s still cheap if you want to buy it! (See a young woman coming to the left talking on the phone, looking at her carefully)

(After the woman answered the phone, the young man started shouting again)

Young man: Come and take a look, take a look look! Lanyu socks sold directly from the manufacturer, three pairs for 10 yuan, cheap and good quality, you will pay 10 yuan for any fake ones!

(The woman took a pair of socks and looked carefully, the boy turned around quickly)

Little girl: Miss, do you want to buy socks? Let’s take a look at my Lanyu socks, which are sold directly by the manufacturer.

Female: (confused) Is this Lan Yu? Last time I bought a pair it was only 20! How come you only cost ten yuan for three pairs? I think they are fake! (Turns around and prepares to leave)

Little girl: (Pretending to be serious, she pulls the girl back) Miss, it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy my socks, but don’t mess with me, I’m authentic Lanyu socks, our manufacturer is having a promotion, today is the last day! Look at me wearing glasses and looking polite, do I seem to be trying to deceive you? I can guarantee you with my personality that if you buy one pair of my socks and something goes wrong, I will compensate you for ten pairs!

Female: (A little tempted, she turned around and picked up a pair of socks to look at carefully) But your socks are so thin, can they keep you warm?

Xiao: (Immediately argued) Definitely. This is pure cotton. Even though it’s thin, it’s definitely warm. My material is very strong and won't burn even when exposed to fire. If you don’t believe me, I’ll burn it for you (while talking, pretending to take a lighter from my pocket) Oops, I didn’t bring a lighter today, I’ll burn it next time, but don’t worry, my socks will definitely keep you warm!

Female: Is that good? How about four pairs for ten bucks?

Xiao: (pretending to be embarrassed) Oh my, this is also a small business, it’s not easy for me either!

Female: (begging) Okay, okay, just give me an extra pair! (Hands on to get the socks on the stall)

Small: Okay, okay! (Take out a pair of bad socks from the container and give them to the woman along with the three pairs on the stall)

Female: Why don’t you take this pair?

Little: My socks are all the same. It's fine! (Quickly stuffing four pairs of socks into the woman’s backpack)

Female: Let me take a look first.

Xiao: No need to read it, just don’t worry. I will trick no one but you!

Female: Okay then. (Take money out of bag) Here, it’s exactly ten yuan. (Hands the money to Xiao) Can I really return these socks if they are torn?

Little boy: (taking the ten dollars) Sure, I’ll give you a receipt. (Take out the receipt and pen from the stall) If there’s anything wrong with these socks, just take this receipt and find it. I backed out and took a look, (pointing to the number plate on the stall) Booth No. 38 on the 1st floor.

Female: Okay, I’ll leave first.

Small:, walk slowly. (Watching the girl walk away, then looking at the money in her hand) Oh, another one has been fooled, you idiot! (Sitting on a chair and counting money, looking excited. The more he counted, the happier he became. He pretended to have money and started to shout)

Female: (walked out from the side curtain, holding the small sleeve) Okay, okay! Stop talking nonsense!

Little: (pretending not to recognize him) What are you doing? Are you sick? You can come out as soon as you take your medicine.

Female: You are the one who is sick. Look at the socks you sold me. I just walked less than 200 meters. When I opened the bag, one of the four pairs of socks was broken.

Little: What? Let me see, please don't slander anyone. (Picks up the socks and finds a hole in one pair.) Hey, why are there such a big hole in these socks? Did you do it?

Female: What, I still want to ask you, but you actually asked me in turn, what do you think I should do with the socks I bought from you?

Little: What should I do?

Female: Money back!

Little: Miss, don’t make trouble here, I’m still doing business!

Female: I still have the invoice you issued. Do you want to acknowledge it? No way!

Little: (Pretending to be calm) Let me see, is it me who opened it? (Take the receipt, glance at it, and throw it to the woman) This doesn’t belong to me. I’ve never opened it before. Stop messing around! (Turns around and sees a young man walking by on the left side of the stand and steps forward to sell socks) Brother! Let’s take a look at my Lanyu socks, which are sold directly from the manufacturer, three pairs for ten yuan.

(The woman grabbed the boy's right arm with her hand and said, "It's settled in advance!" The boy continued to step forward to sell. The woman grabbed the boy with her hand so that he could not step forward. The boy was completely irritated and turned around to scold the girl.) What do you want to do? How else do you want to take advantage of four pairs for ten dollars? Can you take the broken pair home and use them as rags?

Female: You will pay ten for every fake one you said. This is fraud! I'll sue you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!

Little: Fraud? Look at your little potential, just for two pairs of socks? If you sue me, they won't accept it, you bumpkin!

Female: No matter, you must refund my money today!

Little: (Looking around) There are so many people, why don’t you bother me! (Pushing the woman hard) Get out of here quickly, get out of here!

Female: Why do you have no quality at all!

Little: Hey, that’s what I am. My qualities are lying around at home. I just didn’t bring them with me today!

Female: Okay, just wait for me! (Take out your mobile phone and call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau)

Xiao: Huh, I'm waiting. I'll sit and wait. (Taking out a water glass, taking a sip, wiping his mouth) Call your dad here. If you call him, maybe I'm scared! (With a look of disdain, he sat on the chair and picked his nails leisurely, secretly paying attention to the woman’s actions)

Female: (talking to the phone) Hello, is this the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Let me report the situation to you!

[Voice-over] Hello, this is the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, please tell me!

Female: I bought four pairs of socks at Xiaoximen Chenggong Plaza, but not long after I left, I found that one pair was bad. I asked the man to return it, but he not only refused to return it, but also had a very bad attitude!

[Voice-over] Please tell me your specific location.

Female: (Look at the receipt) Booth No. 38 on the first floor of Chenggong Plaza.

[Voice-over] Okay, please don’t go away, we’ll be there soon.

Female: (hangs up the phone and looks at Xiao) Wait!

Little: Huh! When will your father come? Tell him to come before 7:30. I will get off work at 7:30.

Female: You! You are so shameless!

Little: Xianghua (painting)? Why don’t you hang the elephant painting on your wall? Really!

Worker: (Wearing casual clothes and walking out from the side curtain, he saw a small stall and walked towards this side, pretending to buy socks) How do you sell these socks?

Small: Ten quick money and three pairs.

Gong: I want more, please negotiate a price.

Little: Come on, let me take a step to talk. (Pulls workers into the booth) How much do you want?

Gong: I want as much as you have!

Little: (Exceptionally excited) I want so many! (Puts his head to the worker’s ear and whispers) The goods I sell are all illegal and have no license. If you want more instruments, I will send them to you directly. (The script of this sketch comes from Fat Egg Sketch. Funny Encyclopedia www.pangdan.com) will give you ten quick bucks and four pairs.

Gong: What? No license?

Little: (Look around) Keep your voice down, this matter cannot be publicized!

Gong: Then hurry up and order the goods. I want them all.

Little: OK! (Turns around and squats down to light his socks, humming a song, very happy)

Worker: (walks up to the woman) Miss, was it you who just made the call? I'm from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Female: Yes, I will report this stall.

Little: (Put the goods on the stall) Brother, where can you send the goods?

Worker: Send it here, (show the ID to Xiao)

Xiao: (look closely, read in a low voice) Industry-Commerce-Bureau! (Knowing that something was wrong, he turned around and refunded the money to the girl) Here, miss, here are ten dollars. (Take two pairs of socks from the stall) Sister, take these two pairs of socks and wear them! Brother gave it to you!

Gong: What happened just now?

Little: It’s okay, she is my cousin, we are just joking! (Touch the girl’s head with her hand)

Female: (Push the girl away with her hand) Who is your cousin!

Worker: Did this lady just buy her socks from you?

Little: No! Where can I find such inferior socks?

Female: I bought it from you, and I still have the receipt you issued! (Give the receipt to the worker)

Worker: (Take the receipt) Is this the receipt you issued? (Ask Xiao)

Xiao: No, my receipt here is not like this.

Worker: Okay, give me your receipt.

Little: Comrade, I'm really sorry. My brother took the receipt. I was helping my brother look after the stall. I'm really sorry!

Female: You are talking nonsense, I just saw one!

Little: What, it’s been finished a long time ago! (Turns around to explain to the worker)

Female: (Take out the receipt from the stall) Comrade, here is the receipt!

Little: (panicked) Hey, why do you touch other people’s things so casually?

(The woman handed the receipt to the worker)

Worker: What is this? (Sternly questioning Xiao)

Xiao: (embarrassed) Accept it, receipt. . . Comrade, me. . .

Worker: (taking the receipt for comparison, and then looking at the socks on the stall) Do you know that the socks you sell are Sanwu products?

Xiao: No, I don’t know.

I'm looking after my friend's store, comrade, I don't know anything!

Gong: Don’t do this, I’ve seen this too many times! You are still operating without a license. The crime will be increased to one level. Pack your things and come to the bureau with me!

Little: Comrade, I really don’t dare to cheat, so just be so noble and spare me!

Worker: Stop being wordy and collect your things quickly! (To the woman) Miss, please come with us, we need to register the whole situation!

Female: Okay.

(The little boy lowered his head to pack the goods, very reluctantly)

Worker: (To the woman) Please go first! (Turns to Xiao) Hurry up!

(Women in the front, workers in the middle, children in the back)
