Chapter 19: Bartering

"Oh, your master has the ability to reach the sky, if you think about it here, he can know over there, this is really a fairy. The old lady muttered to herself.

"Well, that's what the master said, he said that he is not suitable for showing his head outside, so if there is anything in the future, he will have to help me do it, which can be regarded as an advance salary for me in advance. Yuan Si gave the old lady a vaccination, and if she went out in the future, she would have an excuse.

"What nonsense are you talking about, this kid, isn't it right to do things for your master, and what kind of salary do you want?" the old lady hurriedly snorted on the ground three times, for fear that the fairy master in the distance would hear it and blame him.

"Hehe, it's okay, my master is good to me. Yuan Si tugged at the corners of her mouth and made it up.

"No matter how good it is to you, you can't be big or small, do you hear?" the old lady lectured with a serious face.

"I heard it, and I listened to my mother. "Yuan Si has lost her temper.

"Listen to me for everything, you should listen to your master. The old lady hurriedly asked her to change her words, and a pair of triangular eyes were still looking around the house, afraid that her daughter's disrespectful words would be listened to by her master, and it would not be good if she was angry.

Yuan Si listened to this music, so didn't she still listen to her in the final analysis.

"Well, listen to my master. "This time this point is extremely certain.

"Okay, you go wash your hands and face, and my mother will bring you porridge, you're hungry." The old lady was about to go to the kitchen with her baggage.

"Hey, mother, don't we have fish, just eat this tonight. When Yuan Si thought of the green porridge, she felt that the grilled fish was actually very delicious.

The old lady glanced at the more than ten fish on the table, all of them were grilled, she just wanted to say that it was too late to do it, "That's okay, you can eat a fish with porridge, and I'll put the rest away for you, it's not good to eat too greasy at night, I'll keep these for you to eat tomorrow." The old lady said, I was afraid that the girl would not have enough to eat, so she quickly rolled up the furoshiki and took away all the grilled fish on the table.

Yuan Si was speechless, she said that this fish is an unlimited supply, why is the old lady still so picky, "Mother, just one, but this fish is not sprinkled with salt when it is grilled, or you give some money, I will buy some salt and come back to dip and eat." "She also took it, some people can live to this extent, in order to save firewood, all the food can be cooked in one pot, in order to save oil and salt, they have never eaten stir-fried vegetables.

"You girl, when did you have such a bad mouth, some of them are good to eat, and you want this and that, how can you have money. The old lady was not happy when she heard that it was going to cost money, "Besides, this big canteen is open, and the public says that the people are not allowed to cook by themselves, how can you buy salt under the noses of others, and when people ask you what you are going to do to buy salt, what do you say? Isn't this a clear telling people that your family has hidden grain, so stop it quickly." ”

Yuan Si is so aggrieved, what kind of world is this, it is so difficult to eat something that tastes good. I also feel sorry for my own poverty, I don't have a penny in my hand, and I have to reach out to others to ask for money for everything, not to mention this taste.

Well, at this moment, she deeply felt her own poverty, and how difficult it was for poor people to eat a meal that they wanted. It's not enough for her to get the ingredients, she has to keep working hard.

In order to eat, Yuan Si also fought hard, the next day, she didn't wander around when she went to mow the grass during the day, she worked a lot more seriously, and after completing the task quickly, the little eyes began to scatter everywhere, and she picked up branches or something as long as she could burn them, and she was also very active in pinching braids with the old lady at night, because so far she found that only through this way could she earn a little money.

Finally, after more than a week of perseverance, she successfully braided her own consistent hair.

But after all, she is a novice, and she is a little crooked in order to exercise her mental strength, the old lady shook her head after reading it, and gave a pertinent evaluation. This has always been the braid to be sold at the acquisition station, and it must not be given two cents and four, at most it will be given two cents and one.

Yuan Si took his masterpiece and looked at it over and over, and in the end she could only sigh and admit that she was a person in her thirties, and this one was really a defective product.

Some of the devastated Yuan Si finally decided not to go to the purchase station to sell, and just exchange some salt with the seller at the door of the house. Even if someone sees it, it should be a child's play, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

This side is located in the middle of nowhere, except for a consignment agency at the head of the village, and the village will often come to carry the burden of sellers. Many people save two eggs and it's not worth going all the way to the county, just waiting for the seller to come over and exchange needles and threads with him.

The business scope of the seller is very extensive, basically he also collects everything purchased by the purchasing station, and he also sells the small things sold by the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yuan Si had seen the villagers barter, so when she heard the sound of the merchant shouting at the door, she hurriedly walked out with her masterpiece.

The merchant took her braid and checked it carefully, and then shook his head, "You can't sell this for two cents and four, I will give you at most one cent and eight cents for you, if you don't sell it, I'll give you money if you sell it, and if you don't sell it, forget it." ”

Yuan Si glanced at him, this is to see that her child is small, bullying her, her mother obviously said that she can sell it for two cents and one. Cut, it is said that the current people really have no bad intentions, she doesn't see it, there is no shortage of treacherous and cunning people at any time.

The little girl also has a temper, and pulls her things back, you don't want it, we won't sell it to you. Isn't it just going to the county's acquisition station, it's a big deal that one day she is inviting the master out, and she can go as well.

The merchant didn't expect this little girl to have such a big temper, she didn't play cards according to the routine, and seeing that the business couldn't be done, he hurried to remedy it.

"Hey, you little girl, your temper is really big, we can't buy and sell benevolence, even if you don't sell it to me, I can't rob you of things, what are you afraid of. Besides, if you make up this thing, I can give you this high price, if you go directly to the acquisition station, I estimate that people will give you a dime and a half. When the merchant spoke, he still glanced at Yuan Si with his eyes, wanting to see how she reacted, and continued to say something under the decision.

Yuan Si was of course unmoved, "Then you don't have to worry about it, I'm happy to do it." ”

That's a choking one.

"Hey, you little girl is really not nice to talk about, don't I mean it, I really make you think of a donkey's liver and lungs. Okay, okay, I'll be a good person to the end, how about I'll give you a dime and nine, there is no such a high price. The merchant spoke as if he had sacrificed so much.

Yuan Si didn't answer, but stretched out his head to look at the burden he was carrying.

The merchant immediately understood, "If you don't want money, just exchange things with me, and I can give you another discount." ”

"Do you have any salt here?" Yuan Si asked after all.

In the past few days, she has eaten many tasteless fish porridges, and she thinks she can vomit if she eats them again, so she forgets to sleep and eat her usual braids just to change some salt to eat.

"Yes, how could it not be. The merchant saw that she answered, and hurriedly took out a bag of salt from the burden to show Yuan Si.
