Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Middle-Aged Uncle

Before dawn on the second day, Xiao'er woke up, and when she got up, she found that Liu had already boiled a pot of white porridge and steamed steamed buns. Shen Chengyao, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, also fried chestnuts according to the method taught by Xiao'er, and a pot had already been fried, and the pot that was being fried also wafted out the aroma.

Xiao'er washed up, Jing Rui and Jing Hao also got up, and after the family had breakfast, Shen Chengyao drove the ox cart and set off to the county with a cart of things and three children.

When he arrived in the county, Shen Chengyao found a stall, moved things down from the ox cart, and went to find out if there were any odd jobs to do, this street will have official patrols every market day, the law and order is very good, and no one dares to make trouble, so Shen Chengyao can rest assured that his children are selling things here, and there are other children selling things on the whole street.

Xiao'er opened the bag of chestnuts, revealing the sugar-fried chestnuts inside, and the aroma of the chestnuts quickly wafted out, and when she smelled the aroma, someone came over and asked, "What is this, so fragrant?"

Xiao'er looked at the woman in front of her, in her early thirties, with a kind face, and a little boy of four or five years old next to her, pointing to the chestnut and saying, "Mother, I want to eat this, I want to eat this, this thing is so fragrant." ”

Xiao'er grabbed a handful with her hand and handed it to the woman: "Sister, this is fried chestnuts with sugar, but they are sweet, creamy, and glutinous, you can try it, if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it." ”

"I can be your mother, and you can call me sister, just call me aunt, sister, I don't dare to respond, otherwise others should say that I am not ashamed and boring. The woman took the chestnut and ftied it and fed it to her son, and she also peeled one for herself.

"I think the eldest sister looks very young, but she calls her aunt old, and you look similar to my sister. "Women, who doesn't want to be told that they look younger than they really are.

The woman was praised, and sure enough, there was more smile on her face, and after eating the chestnuts, she also felt that it tasted good: "Is the little girl's mouth smeared with honey, it is sweeter than this chestnut, just at your mouth, I have to buy this chestnut, how to sell it"?

"The eldest sister is a good person, this chestnut is twelve pounds a catty, buy two catties and get half a catty. ”

"So expensive?" the woman frowned, twelve wen had caught up with the price of meat.

"Actually, it's not expensive, if you buy two catties, you can get half a catty, that's just nine and sixty-one catties. My chestnuts are fried by a secret method, the meat is delicate, the glutinous grains are soft, sweet and fragrant, and the chestnuts have the effect of beauty and longevity, the eldest sister eats more youthful and permanent, this price is cheap, today is the first time to sell can be sent, the next episode is going to increase the price, and I don't have to give it how much I bought. ”

"Mother, buy it, I still want to eat!" the boy pulled the woman's sleeve and shook it constantly.

"Oh, little ancestor, I'll buy it, don't shake it anymore. ”

"Then weigh me two pounds. She originally planned to buy some to taste, but her son had been looking forward to it for many years, and he was used to it, if he didn't buy it, he would make your head hurt and annoyed.

"Okay. Xiao'er replied happily.

Jing Rui hurriedly put the chestnuts into the iron pocket on the scale, weighed two and a half catties, Xiao'er grabbed two more handfuls of chestnuts and put them in, and the tail of the weighed was raised high. Xiao'er took the lotus leaf, wrapped two and a half catties of chestnuts in two packets, tied them with straw and handed them to the woman.

The woman saw that Xiao'er was obviously enough to weigh and put more, so she was even more happy to give the copper plate.

Jing Hao counted the twenty-four texts handed over by the woman and accepted them.

If there is a first person to buy, there will be a second and a third...... Follow, and Xiaoer's marketing strategy of buying two catties and getting half a catty for the next set is very effective, the world loves to be greedy and cheap, and feels that the things sent are taken advantage of by themselves, so many people buy two catties and two catties. Soon half of their chestnuts were sold, and only about twenty catties remained.

Not far away, a middle-aged man in a navy blue fine satin gown, with a dusty face, was looking for something fresh on the street. He had just returned from a trip to the southernmost place, and before he set out, he promised the children of the family to bring them good food when they returned, and who knew that the fruit he brought was rotten, so he could only see if there was anything fresh to sell on the market before he went home.

He saw that there were a lot of people crowded in front of Xiao'er's stall, and everyone bought two bags of things and left, and walked over.

When it was his turn, there were less than ten catties of chestnuts left, "How do you sell this chestnut?"

"Twelve pounds for one pound, sell two pounds and get one pound for free. Xiao'er replied while helping the mother-in-law in front of her wrap the chestnuts, and only after wrapping it did she glance at the man, and grabbed a handful and handed it to him: "Uncle can try it." ”

The man took it, broke open the shell, put the meat in his mouth and tasted it, threw the rest back into the basket, and nodded: "It tastes good, I want all the rest." After speaking, he handed Xiao'er a cloth bag.

Jing Rui immediately poured all the chestnuts in the sack into it, weighed it with a scale, nine catties and three taels.

"Nine catties and three taels, that is, only six catties of money, send one and a half catties, and then leave one catty and eleven taels, the uncle buys a lot at a time, and the remaining one catty and eleven taels I will count as one and a half catties of silver, and send three more taels to the uncle, which is a total of ninety Wen." Xiao'er happily quoted.

The middle-aged man was stunned by Xiao'er's calculations without pause, this little girl is amazing, this speed is even more powerful than that of his big shopkeeper. What he didn't know was that Xiao'er could calculate ninety in a second. didn't say ninety words immediately, but also took care of him.

Jing Rui and Jing Hao were also surprised, why was Xiao'er so powerful.

"Did the little girl learn arithmetic?"

"Well, I have a cousin in the family who goes to school, and I studied with him. Xiao'er started the rhythm of lying again.

The two brothers looked at the sky speechlessly, when will the lobby brother teach her, usually when she gets closer, the eldest aunt will stop her, saying not to disturb the lobby brother reading.

The middle-aged man nodded, and when he saw that there were three baskets behind Xiao'er, he asked, "Do you have any other fresh things?"

Xiao'er looked at the basket behind her, "Uncle, please wait." ”

Xiao'er walked to the basket behind her, pretended to flip it over, and then took out an orange, a mango, and a small bunch of lychees.

"Do you want these three kinds of fruits, uncle?"

When the middle-aged man saw the oranges, puckles and lychees that Xiao'er took out, his eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, and he snatched them away, "How did you get this fruit?"

"Yesterday my father went into the mountains to pick it up, but it was fresh, and it was very sweet, and my uncle could smell it. "The quality of the space products is very good, that is, I feel refreshed when I smell the fragrance of fruit.

"Why are there pineapple fruits on the mountain this season? Is this a lychee? Why does this orange grow so big? Is this an orange or a grapefruit? These fruits are all picked from the mountain? Where is the mountain? How can such a good fruit grow?" The middle-aged man couldn't put down a few fruits and asked a few questions in a row.

"I don't know this, my father brought it back from the deep mountains, and a mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days, even ginseng can grow on the mountain, why can't it grow good fruits. Uncle wants it?" Xiao'er stretched out her hand and pretended to take the fruit back.

"Yes, why not, do you still have it, I want it all. Does the little girl often study with your cousin? There are four seasons in a mountain, and ten miles of different days, which is really good. The middle-aged man withdrew his hand, avoiding Xiao'er's outstretched hand. Don't forget to praise Xiao'er.

These three fruits were the best fruits he had ever seen, and he felt that the tribute was not as good as this.

Xiao'er put all the medicinal materials in the basket on the other side, and secretly put some more in during the process, and then handed the basket to the uncle.

"That's all there is?" The three fruits were half a basket full, and the middle-aged man felt less when he saw them, "How do you sell these fruits?"

"Uncle has seen the world, and it is the first time we have picked these fruits, so let's give a price. "The fruits in the basket add up to about 30 catties, including 10 mangoes, 12 oranges, and about 5 or 6 catties of lychees. Xiao'er saw that this man was a cheerful and generous person, so she asked him to make a price.

"The little girl is really good at talking. ”

The man put the fruit in his hand back into the basket, twisted the basket with both hands, roughly estimated, and then put down the basket and said, "Since you can trust the uncle, how about I give ten taels of silver for these fruits?"

"Since you let the uncle make a price, of course the uncle has the final say. Xiao'er said happily, ten taels of silver to buy her space was also earned by him. However, this uncle is willing to pay ten taels and is also generous, at least he will not bully their children.

The middle-aged man took out a silver ingot and a string of money: "You don't need to look for the rest of the ten cents." ”

Xiao'er took it, quickly counted out ten texts and handed it to him: "If you say ninety texts, you will have ninety texts, and uncle will follow quickly." ”

The middle-aged man pushed away Xiao'er's little hand, carried the basket on his back, and lifted the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts with his right hand, "It's okay, then Shiwen will be the uncle who bought your basket." And maybe this fruit is taking advantage of you. ”

"Then thank you, uncle. Hearing this, Xiao'er was not polite anymore and put the copper plate away.

"The next time the little girl has such a good fruit, she can go to the Hongyun grocery store to find me, my surname is Zhou. ”

"Okay, uncle, go slowly. ”
