Chapter 25: Extortion

Xia Qiu's heart chuckled, and there was a moment of panic. It's just that she has dealt with such things a lot in the past few days, and she has gradually dealt with them smoothly.

"I packed some up just now and left it for my mother to eat when she came back at noon. ”

Indeed, when she came out of the space just now, she took a plate with a large plate of snails and put them in the cook.

"Oh, I see. ”

The doubts in Xia Xue's heart dissipated, and she didn't think much about it, and the three sisters covered the bucket with a cloth so as not to blow it cold when the wind blew, which affected the taste of the snails.

Two large barrels of snails, Xia Qiu found a flat pole to carry and went to the market.

After walking through the winding field paths, they arrived at the market in just over ten minutes.

At this time, it was close to half past eleven, and there were quite a lot of people coming and going in the market, some going home for lunch, and some coming to the market to buy vegetables.

Xia Qiu carried two buckets of snails at the intersection to the vegetable market, put down the flat burden, and uncovered the cool broken flower cloth.

"Sell fried snails, fragrant and spicy delicious fried snails, pass by, don't miss it. ”

Her crisp voice pierced the silence of the bazaar, and many passers-by and those who set up shop in the bazaar looked towards Xia Qiu.

Xia Xue and Xia Yu were directly confused by Xia Qiu's move, they opened their mouths wide, and they didn't know what to say for a long time. This sells a snail, can you still sell it like this?

"Fried snails, fragrant and spicy snails, buy them back to drink wine, and eat more fragrant, so you can't stop eating. ”

Xia Qiu is still shouting, the voice is crisp and pleasant, like the ethereal bird cry in the mountains and forests, which makes people listen to it very pleasantly.

With the shouting of Xia Qiu, a group of people were soon attracted to come over. Of course, most of them are still men. After all, fragrant and spicy things, or snacks, are naturally men's favorites.

"This snail smells so good, how do you sell it?" shouted a man in his thirties at a loud voice.

"Uncle, my snail is delicious, you can try one, make sure you like it." ”

Xia Qiu is full of smiles, a pair of eyes smile into a small moon, in the sun, bright as the warm sun of winter.

"And it's not expensive, I'll sell it for five cents a catty, you buy it back and drink it, but it's the best to eat." ”

As she spoke, she took out a spoon and a bowl she had just prepared.

"Everybody tasted it, but it was delicious. "There is free food, everyone will naturally not be polite, you take one, he takes one, and they all eat it with relish.

"Really...... It's so delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious snail. ”

"yes, the smell and the spiciness, it's so strong. ”

"Give me two catties, my brother happens to be drinking at home, this snail is the best." ”

"I'll ...... three pounds"

"I want five pounds. ”

......

With the end of the tasting, more people came to buy it. Xia Qiu was busy and called Xia Xue and Xia Yu to help, and those who called the snails called the snails, and those who collected the money collected the money. After such a rush, a large bucket of snails was almost sold out.

"How do you sell this snail?"

A familiar and unfamiliar voice came, Xia Qiu was bent over and busy, hearing this voice, she said casually: "Five cents a pound." ”

Just as she was done, she stood up straight, and she saw the face of the person who came. It's okay not to look at it, but when she saw it, she was slightly stunned. The person who came to buy the snail turned out to be the boy who stole their duck two days ago.

The face that was originally smiling suddenly stopped smiling. She swept Qin Chuan with disdain, and said angrily: "My snails don't sell duck thieves." ”

Qin Chuan was also surprised, he didn't expect to see this girl so soon. His beautiful curved lips were slightly hooked, and he said, "I said, you girl, where am I a duck thief? Didn't I give you money? And I also gave you fifty or sixty? Or seventy or eighty? That money, you can buy two or three ducks, right? I haven't even said that you are blackmailing, and you still say that I am a duck thief?"

"Extortion?"

Xia Qiu sneered, "If I don't come over in time and find out that you stole my duck, will you give money?"

She snorted coldly and gave Qin Chuan a roll of her eyes by the way.

"A duck thief is a duck thief, I overcharged you with that money, it was the hush money you gave me, if you didn't give it, I plan to send you to the public security bureau." ”

"You ......" Qin Chuan didn't know what to say. The reason why he went to catch the duck was only ...... He swallowed back what he wanted to say, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Don't talk about this, how can you sell this snail? I want to buy five catties." ”

"Not for sale. Xia Qiu said simply.

"Okay, my aunt, you see that I am so handsome, how can you bear to refuse?"

Qin Chuan coaxed with kind words, "In this way, how much did you say you originally sold for? I'll give you an extra two cents, it's okay, right?"

Xia Qiu squinted at him, thinking with one hand on his cheek. "Okay, my snail was originally sold for five cents a catty, and if I sell it to you, I must sell it for two yuan a catty, otherwise I won't sell it. ”

"Two yuan?" Qin Chuan exclaimed as if he had heard some earth-shattering news. "I said you girl, blackmail is not like you, you have quadrupled ......"

"You don't have to buy it. ”

Xia Qiu raised his eyebrows and raised his chin, especially arrogant.

He looked down at the snails in the bucket, smelling the fragrance, and the face of an old man came to mind. "Okay, two dollars is two dollars, you load me five pounds. ”

He gritted his teeth and finally compromised.

Qin Chuan's compromise surprised Xia Qiu. She was just raising the price on the spot, playing tricks on the young man, who made him a duck thief? But she didn't expect that he would really accept it.

"Gentleman. ”

She muttered in her heart, thinking that this young man was probably the kind of super rich in the family, so money was nothing to him at all.

"Okay. ”

She smiled, her smiling face wrinkled together, like a cute kitten.

"Xia Xue, Xia Yu, weigh him five catties and collect money, a total of ten yuan. ”

Xia Xue and Xia Yu were also shocked. According to Xia Qiu's instructions, they weighed five catties of snails for Qin Chuan. Seeing that Qin Chuan really took out ten yuan from his pocket, they believed that this young man could really accept such an expensive snail.

"Xia Qiu, why are you here?"

Xia Xue took the ten yuan handed over by Qin Chuan, but she heard that Xia Wei came out of nowhere. She grabbed Xia Qiu's hand and looked around.

"Xia Qiu, what are you doing?

"Yes, selling snails. ”

Xia Qiu changed the cold face he had just now towards Qin Chuan and replaced it with a soft and gentle smile.

"Xia Qiu?" Qin Chuan, who was carrying a bag of snails, read the name with interest, and suddenly said, "I remember your name." ”
