The bullock cart is just a flatbed cart, with a bench-like seat on each side. The lotus is in Zhu Yongxin's arms. Smelling the faint smell of tobacco on his body, his eyelids started to fight again. He grabbed his clothes and muttered, "Dad, come to the city." Remember to call me. e3 latest update”
Seeing that she was about to sleep again, Zhu Yongxin quickly pulled the old cotton-padded clothes he brought and wrapped her tightly, held her in his arms and patted her, saying, "Go to sleep!" "
Li originally wanted to take the lotus and hold it, but Zhu Yongxin said that the journey to the city was too bumpy and he was afraid of tiring his sister-in-law, and he had no intention of letting go of the lotus, so Li had no choice but to give up.
The few people were speechless all the way. When they were approaching the city gate, Zhu Yongxin woke up Hehua and asked her to wake up from her nap. Hehua had a pair of big black eyes and kept looking at the pedestrians and some makeshift grass buildings around. A shed-like place.
Old Li Tou parked the oxcart in front of a hay shed where there were not many people. He put down two pennies and took the hay from home from behind and handed it to the man who was looking after the shed to thank him for his hard work! "
He Hua looked around and saw that the surrounding huts seemed to be used to look after bullock carts and horse-drawn carriages. She couldn't help but put her arms around Zhu Yongxin's neck and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that they will drive away the carts?"
Mr. Li's younger brother stood aside and listened attentively. He laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight. He pointed at the lotus and said, "You are a little man, you have a lot to worry about." However, he still pointed to the surroundings and said to her, "These sheds are all under the control of the government, and they will not take advantage of our oxcart." "
Seeing that He Hua had made a joke before entering the city, a blush appeared on her face. She saw that the people who were storing carriages and horses and drinking tea were laughing, so she had to bury her face in Zhu Yongxin's chest.
Zhu Yongxin and Lao Litou made an appointment at the approximate time of rendezvous, and walked towards the city carrying the mushrooms and lotus on their backs. We first went to Yahang to sell the mushrooms, and then took Hehua to shop in the shops. "
He Hua noticed that at the gate of the city, the people coming and going were basically people dressed as civilians. It could even be said that they were all poor people. There was not a single person in slightly more ornate clothes. After entering the city gate, the surrounding houses were all low and dilapidated. Some shops were open, but one look at the low lintels and dilapidated banners made people not want to go in and take a look.
"Dad, eldest brother also said that the city is very beautiful, and Hehua looks worse than our mud house!" Hehua said with a frown.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is the west gate we are entering. The south side of the city is very prosperous. There are also two or three-story houses. If you climb up with a ladder from the inside, you can see far away!" Zhu Yongxin coaxed Lotus and followed her. Use your memory to find a dental shop.
"Dad, let's go take a look at the two- and three-story house first, okay?" Hehua didn't want Zhu Yongxin to sell it to a dental store. He was always thinking about whether he could sell it by himself. , and there is also a commission, and there are really not many people who can put it in their pockets.
So she took advantage of her young age to go see the building, thinking that if there was a restaurant there, it would be best if she could sell it directly.
Zhu Yongxin was also a pampered child. He was not upset when he saw Lotus like this, and he carried a basket of dried mushrooms on his left and right sides without sinking, so he lifted her up and held her in his arms to see the house on several floors.
He Hua saw the tall building tip and the wine flag hanging on the third floor when he was far away. He immediately pointed over there and said, Dad, Dad, put me down, let's go over there. "As soon as I hit the ground, I ran to the store.
Zhu Yongxin was busy chasing her, but there were so many people on the street that it was very inconvenient for him to carry a basket. He was so anxious that he kept shouting to Lotus, "Slow down!" "
He Hua ran to the restaurant and tilted her head to look inside. It was not time to eat yet, and there were only twos and threes of people sitting in the hall. There was a man in his forties at the counter, stroking his beard and making calculations on the ledger.
She poked her head around to attract the attention of a young boy, and came out and shouted, "Little girl, where are the adults?" Are you running around on your own, not afraid of encountering a philanderer? "
Hehua heard what the worker said fiercely, but her tone was mainly concerned. She blinked her eyes and gave him a bright smile, pretending to be innocent and said, brother, do you accept mushrooms in your store? I pick the mushrooms myself from the mountains. Everything that is dried in the ground is good! "
"Hey, how old is the little girl, and she's already starting a business like someone else?" The waiter naturally didn't know much about Lotus, so he thought she learned it from adults at home, so he didn't take it seriously. He turned around and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, are we short of mushrooms today?"
"What mushroom?" The middle-aged man inside also stopped what he was doing and looked outside.
Hehua quickly turned back to find Zhu Yongxin, waving her hands and saying, "Daddy, what kind of mushrooms are in our basket?" "
"It's all hazelnuts!" Zhu Yongxin looked at the clerk with some vigilance, stretched out his hand to pull his daughter behind him, and apologized with a smile, "This little brother is really sorry. My child is ignorant and collided."
At this moment, the shopkeeper also came out, stood on the steps, looked down at the basket on Zhu Yongxin's back, and then asked if the mushrooms were for sale? "
Zhu Yongxin was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly put the basket down from his shoulder and said to sell it, naturally. These are all good mushrooms picked by the family. All the old ones were picked out. If you want them, just give me a price. Son. "
"Weigh how many kilograms there are." The shopkeeper's eyes swept over the mushrooms in the basket on his back. As expected, the mushrooms in the basket were all neat and tidy. Okay, I am harvesting hazelnut mushrooms at the Xiya Shop in Daocheng, Lu Lu Beard, and I get 30 copper coins per catty. You will definitely be deducted 1 tael. Let’s do this. I will give you 40 copper coins per catty. The total here is five catties and eight taels. A total of... "
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, He Hua suddenly shouted loudly that the shopkeeper should give me some money for running errands. The mushrooms at my house are better than those in the dental shop. My father said that if he sold more money, he would buy me some flowers! "
"Hey, how old is your little girl? How can she be so good at business?" The shopkeeper also laughed when he heard this. Although it is true that the mushrooms collected in Yahang cost 30 cents per catty, they are the worst, and you can buy them for free. If the price is to be increased again, it is better to buy this basket of high-quality mushroom sprouts, mix in some large mushrooms and crushed mushrooms, and stew chicken is the best, so I don’t care about the more than ten yuan with her. Wen Qian said very generously, "Then I will give you two hundred and forty coppers based on six catties."
He Hua originally wanted to say that she would give him the whole amount, but then when she thought that the whole number was two hundred and five, she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and looked at Zhu Yongxin collecting the money with a smile.
Zhu Yongxin was not as happy as Hehua. After collecting the money and thanking him, he picked up the basket and hurriedly left the restaurant with his daughter in his arms.
He Hua held the money bag tightly with her right hand and weighed the coins. Her mind was already thinking about buying some coins. Seeing that Zhu Yongxin looked unhappy, she went up to her father and asked him, why are you unhappy if we oversell him? ? "
"You're a languid girl at home. Why are you so troublesome when you come out?" Zhu Yongxin frowned and said, "There are people in the big hotels who specialize in supplying vegetables. Last year, someone in the village went to sell vegetables, and the vegetable basket was overturned and trampled to pieces. Not only the food, but also a broken leg, why are you so bold and dare to run in there by yourself?"
Hehua stuck out her tongue. She had just arrived. How can there be such zoning protectionism in the city? Seeing that Zhu Yongxin was unhappy, she quickly put her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "I won't dare to do it anymore. People may think that I am young." We have a small family, so we don’t care about it! Can you let me choose the extra money? " She calculated in her mind that if five and a half kilograms of mushrooms cost 165 cents at Yahang, she would have sold them for 75 cents more.
"What do you want money for? Grandpa dried these mushrooms, so the money must be given to grandpa." Zhu Yongxin refused.
Hehua pursed her lips and tried to find an excuse to convince him. Finally, she said that the extra money was sold because of me, so naturally it should be mine, right? And if dad gets more money this time, and I pick mushrooms for you to sell next time, won't you get scolded if you get less money? "
"How old are you, what do you know?" Zhu Yongxin poked her forehead and saw her pursed lips and her big watery eyes looking at her with pleading, thinking that she had brought some money out, so she couldn't help but ask softly. He said, "What do you want to buy for Lotus?"
"Buy fish stew for my mother, a new cigarette pot for my father, some good paper for my eldest brother, some flowers for my hair, and candy for Bonin..." Hehua clasped her uninjured hand and counted, "These copper coins are not enough." not enough… "
Seeing that she had counted for a long time without mentioning herself, Zhu Yongxin felt happy and sad at the same time. He nodded and said, "Then the extra copper coins will go to the Lotus Messenger." "
However, Hehua obviously didn't understand the prices at this time. The candy was actually a penny a piece. She stared at it for a long time, gritted her teeth and bought a small pack of ten. There are many kinds of flowers in the shop selling head flowers, including those piled with tulle, those strung with beads, those embellished with jade pieces, those pinched out of silver threads... But the lotus-patted pouches seem to be the only ones to choose from. There were only ordinary silk flowers that cost five cents each in the basket at the door. I picked two and asked the store to wrap them up in rough paper.
Twenty pennies were gone like this. Zhu Yongxin’s pipe pot cracked and leaked after being dropped a while ago. He repaired it with clay, but it still fell off after being exposed to heat for a long time, so he had to patch it up again after a few days. Lotus She chose a pipe that was exactly the same as the original one at the shop where she bought a pipe. The price was quoted at thirty cents. Taking advantage of her young age and cuteness, she pretended to be pitiful and cute, and she worked hard and finally bought it for twenty-five cents. down.
Touching the thirty coins left in his pocket, Hehua's face didn't look good, and he didn't know how much a pound of fish cost. Zhu Yongxin carried her to a Wenfangsibao shop. When the clerk saw the two of them, he immediately He directly led the person to the pile of toilet paper in the corner of the room without even bothering to say a word.
When Hehua saw that all the rough paper in front of her was the straw-yellow paper that her elder brother usually used, she immediately turned her head to look elsewhere. She saw someone on the counter in the north looking at the white rice paper. She pointed over there and asked how much it cost. "
The boy glanced at her and saw that she was a child who was too lazy to care, so he reluctantly said fifty cents a piece. "
He Hua's eyes widened in an instant and she looked at the rice paper spread out on the counter. Even if the paper was as white as snow and as big as a quilt, it didn't cost fifty cents a piece. It was more expensive than a pound of mushrooms.
Seeing He Hua's expression, the boy curled his lips and showed an expression that said, "You can't afford it, I can't afford it." He Hua was so angry that he gritted his teeth. But when he thought that he really couldn't afford it, he suddenly became discouraged and asked Ask this brother, do you still have cheaper rice paper? "
"Here, there is paper over there that is usually cut crookedly. It costs five cents a piece." The boy still didn't move and just babbled.
Lotus took a look and estimated that it was one-sixth the size of the large piece of rice paper. Some of the edges were cut a little crookedly, and some were too rough. She bit her lower lip and thought, why is it so expensive if it is cut so badly? No, but if the edges are trimmed, writing will not be delayed.
He held his purse and hesitated for a long time and asked this brother, "I have twenty coins, can you sell me five coins?" "
The guy was okay, he just rolled up five pieces of paper and paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. Hehua was very suspicious that he had been deceived. But then he asked two more companies one after another, and it turned out that they were all at the same price. , she felt a little more comfortable.
There were still the last ten copper coins in her purse. She asked her father with a grimace. Isn't the remaining copper coins not enough to buy a fish head? There are not many words”
Zhu Yongxin took her small purse and looked through it, then said don't worry, twenty coins is enough to buy a pound of crucian carp seeds! "
Twenty cents? Hehua looked at her father strangely. Could it be that his father didn't know how to count? He stretched out his hand to take the purse, and as expected, there was a lot of extra money. Only then did he realize that his father was afraid that he would not be able to buy fish, so he secretly stuffed another ten cents into it.
She pouted and said, "Why are you trying to fool me into not knowing how to count?" Let’s buy fish for ten cents if we have ten cents left. "
The two of them were shopping together, and Zhu Yongxin had almost everything he wanted to buy, so he carried Hehua to the shop selling aquatic products. He smelled a fishy smell from a long way away. Hehua saw that there were only a few kinds of fish on the stall, and his eyes rolled around. After waiting for a long time, she finally saw in the corner a pile of small crucian carp seeds as large as her four or five handfuls. She quickly asked the boss, how much did these cost? "
The boss said without raising an eyebrow that he would give me even ten cents and take it away. "
Hehua just got the advantage of bargaining, but now she said all the good things, and finally spent only eight cents to buy a bunch of fresh crucian carp seeds.
Zhu Yongxin asked her why she bought such a handful of crucian carp seeds. "
"I will make some soup for my mother. People say that fish soup is the best for the body!" He Hua smiled happily and urged Zhu Yongxin to pack the fish. He counted out eight copper coins one by one and handed them to the boss.
"What are you doing with two cents left?" Zhu Yongxin asked her deliberately while holding the fish.
"Let's buy steamed pancakes to eat later!" He Hua answered simply.
After running around in the city for half a day, Hehua slept all the way home again. Jasmine even washed her face, changed her clothes and stuffed her into bed.
