Su Ruanruan and others have picked strawberries here, and breakfast has been prepared over there.
After a quick breakfast, Su Ruanruan and others set off.
Xiao Chengjin also wanted to go to school, so he happened to walk with them until they reached the intersection of Daling Village.
Apart from Su Ruanruan, those who went to the county town to sell strawberries were Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen.
There were only two baskets of strawberries, but Su Ruanruan, who was not walking very fast, followed, so Su Cangshan pushed the cart anyway.
On the way, Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen took turns pushing the cart, and the speed was not slow at all.
When they arrived at the county seat, it was just like when Su Ruoruan first came to the county seat, but it was around nine in the morning.
At this time, the county town was the most lively. They came to the street where the goods were sold, took Su Ruanruan off the cart, and lifted the cloth on the two baskets to reveal the strawberries underneath.
The strawberries had just been picked two hours ago, and each one was bright red. As soon as they were revealed, they attracted the attention of passers-by.
Such red fruits are most likely to attract the attention of children and women. Standing in front of the cart at this time is a woman leading a child.
The child looked about the same age as Su Ruanruan. At this time, his eyes were fixed on the strawberry, and his saliva was about to flow.
The woman glanced at the strawberry and asked doubtfully, "What kind of fruit is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Su Cangshan rubbed his hands and said, "This is a strawberry."
"What is a strawberry?" The woman was even more confused. Why hadn't she heard of it before
Su Cangshan was also at a loss for words. How did he know what a strawberry was? He could only go to see Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan couldn't explain it clearly, but she had other ideas.
Su Ruanruan opened the bamboo tube containing the strawberry, picked up a strawberry, rinsed it, and handed it to Su Cangshan, "Dad, where is our knife? Cut off a little and give it to Auntie to taste."
When the woman saw Su Ruanruan washing the strawberries with water, she guessed that Su Ruanran wanted her to taste them. She was waiting to pick up the strawberries when she heard Su Ruanran's words and frowned slightly, "What? Taste it." You only cut a little bit of it to taste? What a precious thing! I don’t want it anymore!”
After saying that, the woman turned around and was about to leave, but she didn't.
The child next to her was still looking at Su Cangshan longingly.
Su Cangshan was not happy either, "Since you don't want to buy it, there's no need to taste it."
They themselves were reluctant to eat the food, but this person said it lightly, just take one and try it.
How many are in this basket
If everyone who comes to buy asks to try one, how many will they eat
When the child heard Su Cangshan's words, he burst into tears, "Mom, I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Although I don’t know what it is, I can smell the fruity aroma when I stand close, and the color is so beautiful. The child knows that it must be something delicious, and he will naturally be unwilling to let him eat it.
The woman was angry and embarrassed, but looking at the crying child with her mouth open, she finally endured it and said, "Then cut some and taste it. If it tastes good, I will buy some."
Su Cangshan frowned and cut off two thin slices without taking them off. He just put them on the knife and handed them to the woman.
The woman was satisfied, but she was not willing to eat what others had taken, especially if it was cut open.
The woman took off both strawberry slices, gave the larger one to the child, and stuffed the smaller one into his mouth.
