"Borrowing a car? Where to borrow? Zhao Guoying looked at the stupid girl's expression, "It's not good to have a bicycle at home these days, who will lend it to you, in case you bump it to others, will you pay or not?" ”
Xiao Yan then remembered that now in the 80s, bicycles are still large!
She sighed and said, "Then what to do, you can't always rely on two legs, it's okay to have less things now, but look at today's posture, it will be sold out in less than three hours, can't you bring more?" ”
"Why don't you discuss with Uncle Li and be his ox cart next time?" Zhao Guoying said.
Uncle Li owns one of the few ox carts in their village, and the people and cattle are old and can't get off the ground, so he can drive an ox cart to pull people and earn some forage money.
"Uncle Li's ox cart is too slow, slower than we go."
Although it is slow, it is better than carrying the goods on his back, and he can bring more, so this time the mother and daughter almost prepared twice as many things and took Uncle Li's ox cart.
There were still so many people in the market, and the two of them went late by car, and when they arrived at the market, it was already dawn, so they had to find a corner and set it up.
After a while, there were more and more people in the market, but their stalls were hidden outside the crowd, Zhao Guoying couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, "I knew we were still walking, but this is not a good place." ”
"It's not much worse, we can't move this pile of things when we walk!" Xiao Yan comforted.
"Don't sell it when the time comes, you have to carry it back!" Zhao Guoying continued to sigh.
Xiao Yan ignored her frustrated mother, opened her mouth and began to greet business, "Delicious hot sauce!" Authentic ancestral secret hot sauce! ”
As soon as I finished shouting, I saw a woman who was looking around turned around, and then came to them in surprise, "I said just now, didn't you say that you came today, why didn't you come, it turned out to be here!" ”
"Buy hot sauce!" Xiao Yan saw someone coming, although this person was a little familiar, he still greeted warmly.
"I don't buy it, hey, I buy it, I have to buy a lot!" The woman said with a smile.
******
The location of the big market is a little far away from the central street of the county, but there are only a few times in a month, so people from ten miles and eight towns nearby will come to the market, and there are all kinds of food and play here. In Xiao Yan's opinion, things are too cheap and genuine.
But some people don't think so.
In this crowded bazaar, where several young people were also walking, one of them walked in front of him, and as he went, he introduced them to the situation here, and obviously should be a regular visitor here.
"This big market is the most complete place in our county, unlike the big shopping malls in your city, our people here want to buy something, they will come here to catch the market." The boy's voice was as clear as a clear spring.
Wei Ying pursed his lips, "What a broken ground!" There's not even a mall, so I knew I wouldn't be able to get out, right? Brother Cheng! ”
Chu Tiancheng, who was called 'Brother Cheng', walked listlessly and said lazily, "It's a fart!" If you don't come out and suffocate in the hotel! ”
Wei Ying's words were very polite, but the young man in front of him didn't look a little angry, just smiled and said, "The country is developing faster and faster, who knows what it will be like in the future, maybe we will have a big shopping mall here in the future, don't you see that your company will come to our county to invest?" ”
Wei Ying choked and glared at the young man, but seeing that Chu Tiancheng still didn't say a word, he didn't speak again.
It seemed to them that there was really nothing to do in the town, and as they walked, they heard a crisp sound.
"Auntie, are you serious, do you want it?" The 'self-cooked' woman just now, Xiao Yan recognized it for a long time before she remembered that she had bought her hot sauce on the last episode, she remembered that she also bargained with her, and finally asked for two taels of capers to go.
It turned out that the hot sauce that this woman took home last time was very well received, so she wanted to buy more, but she didn't expect that buying more would be a round bag, which was really unexpected. Even Zhao Guoying, who sighed again and again just now, worried that he would have to carry it back, was overjoyed.
A few people looked back, it turned out that it was a little girl behind a vegetable stall, the little girl looked fourteen or fifteen years old, thin, but not short, and thick eyebrows and big eyes, but her face was a little dark, a few people guessed that it was estimated that they were doing farm work every day, at this time they were in the corner, there were not many people.
Then I heard the woman opposite her say, "No, don't take it out, I want it, but I'll come alone, you follow me to my house!" ”
Xiao Yan was puzzled, "Auntie, do you want so much hot sauce to eat by yourself?" ”
The woman looked a little flustered and said, "Yes, my family loves spicy food, oops!" You don't care so much about what to do, and a lot of money will be given to you. ”
Xiao Yan asked casually, but she didn't expect the other party's reaction, and she was immediately a little confused, but after thinking about it, let's make money first, what do you use to do it, so she smiled, "That's too, auntie, then we'll clean it up and send it to you." ”
Zhao Guoying didn't think about it so much, and hurriedly packed up his things.
After the two of them followed the woman, Wei Ying looked at Xiao Yan's back and said 'tsk' twice, "A bunch of pickles have also been bought?" Don't be a liar! ”
The young man just now explained with a smile, "Our folk customs are very simple, and there are no liars. ”
Wei Ying said angrily, "There are no bad people!" Really, Brother Cheng, let's take a look. ”
Chu Tiancheng glanced at it, "Everyone has gone away, what else to see." ”
Wei Ying looked forward, and sure enough, the three of them didn't even have a figure.
Xiao Yan and Zhao Guoying carried things and followed the woman to a private house, the house was a bungalow, the yard was very large, a few came to the courtyard, the woman said, "Okay, just put it here, I'll get you the money." ”
The woman pointed to a small pergola in a corner of the courtyard, and then turned into the house.
The two of them approached the pergola and found a small old table inside. So, the two put all the goods they brought on the table.
In order to sell more, they brought everything they had at home in the past few days this time, except for the ones that were pickled yesterday and couldn't be opened.
"I didn't expect such good luck to be able to sell everything just after I put it on the table." Zhao Guoying said excitedly, and the worries just now were swept away.
Xiao Yan also followed, "Yes! ”
As she spoke, the woman came out with a small paper bag, "Calculate how much!" ”
Xiao Yan said with a smile, "The small jar of hot sauce is five taels and one bottle, and the rest of the bulk must be weighed first." ”
The small clay pots I bought before were all used to jar hot sauce, a total of eighteen cans, and the rest were either put in oily paper or in large cans, and the total price was weighed respectively, fifteen yuan, nine cents and nine cents.
"Okay, auntie, give you a discount, nine points will not be charged to you, fifteen yuan nine, you can take a look." Holding an abacus and crackling there for a while, he finally concluded.
"Okay, fifteen nines! Here you go. The woman actually counted a few tickets very happily this time and handed them over.
Xiao Yan was ready to bargain with her, but she didn't, which couldn't help but surprise her.
No matter what, it is a happy thing, waving goodbye to the woman who sent them out enthusiastically, Zhao Guoying, who picked the door, rarely wanted to cut some pork and go home.
"Your dad is very tired these days, let's make money today, cut some meat and go back to make up for him!" Zhao Guoying pinched the pocket where the money was put and said with a smile.
"Good! Xiaohui has been hungry for meat for a long time. ”
So the mother and daughter went straight to the vegetable market and weighed two catties of fat and thin pork belly, and weighed five catties of fat meat that could be used for frying oil.
If you want greens, you won't have anything to eat in winter, but cabbage and potatoes are good.
As soon as I arrived at the door of her house, I saw a person walking around the door of her house, and I opened the door to look inside, and the broken fence door of her house was about to collapse.
"Aunt Liu, what's the matter with you?" Before Xiao Yan could say anything, Zhao Guoying frowned.
"Ahh She was looking at her head intently, but who knew that someone would speak at this time, she was frightened, patted her chest and said dissatisfiedly, "Xiaoyan, why do you say you are so loud!" I'm just going to see if you're not home. ”
"Then you don't have to pick the door to look at it, just shout and you'll know!" Although Zhao Guoying usually doesn't like to have conflicts with people, but that also scores people and things, this Aunt Liu is her neighbor and lives very close, but the relationship with her family is not very good.
This Aunt Liu is the opposite door of the Grandma Liu's house that Xiao Yan went to before, and there were some conflicts before, the most hateful and angry people, and the master who took advantage of it was not enough.
I remember that when Xiao's father used to be a carpenter to help others beat furniture, he often took advantage of his family, and when he had nothing to do, he went to his house to find some waste materials to burn the fire, and always owed money to play a small object and finally didn't get it, at the beginning, Xiao's father felt that they were all neighbors, and the worthless waste or something didn't care about her, but the other party was always like this, but it was not okay for the other party to do this, after a time Xiao's father directly rejected her request, she began to have a bad face, and then there was nothing to say badly, saying that it was wrong, until the relationship became worse and worse.
Later, Xiao's father carpenter didn't have much to do, she didn't laugh behind her back, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, and her parents were angry at home.
However, Xiao's father is not easy to deal with a woman as a man, and Xiao's mother is a soft personality and doesn't like to conflict with people, at most, the two families don't interact much.
But how did I know that this person who hadn't been in contact for a few years came to the door today.
"Look at what you said, what are you shouting at noon, take a nap!" Aunt Liu smirked.
Zhao Guoying originally thought that the other party would be annoyed by saying this, but she didn't expect the other party to be quite thick-skinned, and she actually laughed with her, guessing that the other party had something.
The fact that her family went to the county to sell pickles was widely spread by Zhang Dali last time, and many people already knew about it.
After more than ten days of fermentation, almost the entire village knows that pickles can also be sold for money.
