Composition "Let me give it a try" 750 words

"I'm so old, I can't even buy groceries. When I was a child..." my mother said angrily in the room. "That's enough, that's enough!" I really couldn't bear her nagging, "Let me give it a try!" So I picked up the basket and walked out of the house.

I crossed two roads and came to the vegetable market. Looking at the bustling crowd of people buying vegetables, my heart jumped like a rabbit. You know, this is my first time shopping for vegetables. The variety of dishes on the stall dazzled me, and I couldn't help but frown. What to buy? I looked around, and my mind was blank as I had no life experience. After hesitating for a moment, I then thought about it. It's rare that I try to be the master for once, and I don't take the opportunity to exercise some power. "Yes, buy my favorite vegetables!" So, I strode towards a stall selling vegetables.

The stall owner saw me and asked with a smile: "Children, do you want to buy vegetables? Look at my green vegetables. It tastes delicious to you." I looked at it and saw that on the milky white stems of the vegetables, Along with the green vegetable leaves, there are still dewdrops hanging on the leaves. If you hold it closer, you can smell the fragrance of the earth. It is really fresh. So, I blurted out: "Buy a little." "How much?" asked the stall owner. How much to buy? This question really stumped me. I'm used to "opening my mouth when I eat". How could I know how much my family consumes vegetables? I was at a loss and stared at the vegetables in a daze. Suddenly, I had the idea to see how much other people bought, so I could have a reference. I waited patiently for about 2 minutes, and an old man and an uncle came successively. The old woman said "weigh 2 pounds", and my head suddenly became high. I just thought of "doing the same thing" and also said "weigh 2 pounds", when I heard The uncle kept talking about buying 20 kilograms, and now my head drooped again. The gap between 2 kilograms and 20 kilograms is too big. Who buys a kilogram that is closer to the reality of daily life? I thought about it, but I still couldn't figure it out, and I was too embarrassed to ask the stall owner for fear that he would laugh at me as a "little nerd" who didn't understand common sense in life, so I had to bite the bullet and pretend to be a hero. I decided to choose between the two of them. Average: (2+20)÷2=11, buy 11 pounds!

"Boss, we weigh 11 pounds." I said confidently. The stall owner was stunned for a moment and looked at me doubtfully, then weighed 11 kilograms of vegetables for me. After I paid, I carried a heavy bag of vegetables and trudged home.

My mother couldn’t laugh or cry when she saw the 11 kilograms of vegetables, and immediately announced that our whole family would eat vegetables every day this week. After dinner, she pulled me aside and told me in detail the weekly consumption of major vegetables by my family. I wrote them down one by one and said with a smile: "When I grow up, I should have some life experience, otherwise It's a joke. It seems that there is knowledge in doing anything. You can only understand it if you try it yourself."

My mother smiled approvingly.
