"This is it, you see, there are many of them." A child let go of his mother's hand and ran to the stall.

"This little cricket is quite delicate, it looks like it!" One woman said to the other.

"No wonder the kid has to pull us to see, and this little rabbit is so cute." She admired.

"How much does this cricket cost?" The woman asked.

"A penny." Uncle Shi replied dryly.

At this time, Situ Cheng moved from the back to the front of the stall and said:

"Sister-in-law, these things are all made up by my mother. You see these grasshoppers and crickets are made like the real thing, and there are little rabbits and little hedgehogs, the bigger ones are five cents, and the smaller ones are just a penny. In addition, there are straw sandals, straw mats, straw mats, and pot lids for sorghum stalks. If you buy more, the price is negotiable. ”

"This straw rabbit is five cents, and you can buy a meat bun for five cents." A woman said.

"Sister-in-law Ai, the meat buns will be gone when you eat them. If you buy this thing, the child can play for a long time, and if the child likes it so much, you can buy one for him. ”

"This eldest sister is so refreshing, Dad, I received a penny, eldest sister, you can take the things." Situ Ming greeted back and forth, and her clear voice attracted more people to this way.

Those who didn't know also followed the crowd here, thinking that there was something lively to see.

"Buy one get one free, buy straw shoes for crickets, buy straw mats for rabbits."

With such a shout, people who couldn't see the situation inside on the periphery became even more curious. What's going on, I've never heard of buying shoes will give crickets, buying straw mats to send rabbits, a rabbit is more expensive than a straw mat.

Those people didn't know that rabbits were made of straw.

Everyone has a herd mentality, seeing that everyone buys, the seller buys one get one free, buys the big one and gets the small one free, and buys a few regardless of whether the family needs it very much. Some people with children even bought a straw mat to go home in order to get the hedgehog that was sent.

Before sunset, the two large baskets of things that Uncle Shi picked up were all sold out.

"I've never seen so many copper coins in my life." Uncle Shi said happily.

The peasants were self-sufficient, never kept any money, and had no money to save. If there is a special need, I take what I grow or raise to the market and sell it, and then buy what I need.

Situ Cheng also deliberately left a few straw animals, and sure enough, the child who was playing a guessing game with Shi Zi'er came over, and Shi Zi'er gave him all the things he left.

They rushed home before dark, and bought a candy man for Mi'er.

The family couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Aunt Shi's heart that had been hanging for a day finally fell. Listening to what Situ Cheng said, the tongue was full of flowers, and the Shi family couple actually felt that her remarks were quite reasonable.

Situ Cheng struggled to speak, and finally persuaded them to stop using the word "female virtue" to restrain her.

It took her a month to get those things, and they were all sold out in less than two days.

Now I envy the cadres in Shijia Village, and they also learn from each other. The selling skills are still the same as the original, and the things are not much worse than those made up by Situ Ming, but the business is not very good. In addition, the freshness of the people in the market has passed, and it is gradually wintering, and no one needs straw sandals or anything like that.

Situ Cheng is not like ordinary people, she has extra money or keeps it at home, or eats and drinks well.

She used that money to buy some spinning wheels, cloth machines, cotton and other things for weaving, which can be regarded as the ability to support her family in her previous life, which came in handy.

The weaving industry in Jiangzhou is prosperous, and the women's weaving skills are slightly better than those in other regions. In addition, there were few people in Jizhou who raised silkworms and planted mulberry, and many brocades had to be purchased from other places.

Situ Cheng first took the cotton coarse cloth she had woven and sold it at the market, but she didn't expect it to be very popular, and everyone rushed to it. With her hands alone, cloth is in short supply.

Later, Situ Cheng weaved cloth at home, and Uncle Shi went to the market to sell goods. When the New Year came, the cloth sold very well, and the Shi family had an unprecedentedly prosperous New Year.

Due to Situ Ming's candle lighting day and night, his body was extremely tired, and his eyes were often sore because of his frequent night work, and he suffered from eye diseases. The Shi couple persuaded each other hard, but she was determined.

Aunt Shi blew out the candle without authorization and forcibly helped her to rest on the kang.

As soon as Situ Ming's head touched the pillow, she fell asleep, and slept until dawn before waking up. I only felt that my eyes were cool and comfortable, and there was no soreness, and I vaguely felt that I seemed to have traveled somewhere in my dream, but I thought hard but found nothing. In fact, she herself has not yet realized that some brilliant ideas are appearing in her head.

In fact, there are many girls in the village who can weave and embroider, but there is a saying that the things in the women's boudoir should not be visible. It is said that the women in the boudoir, whether they write poems, make paintings, or even embroidery by female workers, cannot be seen by anyone outside the family. Therefore, Situ Cheng sold her cloth with such fanfare, which caused a lot of criticism.

The people in the village watched the Shi family's life getting better and better, some were jealous and envious, and some were jealous and slanderous.

Situ Cheng took those gossips as a deaf ear, and instead built some families with daughters to learn her crafts from her. This cloth is not like those straw gadgets that can't be sold because there are too many, maybe they can be sold in Jizhou City.

At first, everyone took what she said as crazy nonsense and accused her of corrupting her virtues.

The Shi Lengzi family in the village owed a lot of foreign debts because of a lawsuit a few years ago, and now they are living a hard life. I ate the last meal and the next meal.

Her daughter Xiangtao is fourteen years old, and there is no one to kiss, and she also learned about Situ Cheng from his lame brother. Then she knelt before her father, and said sincerely:

"The daughter knows that her father is sad, her mother died early, and her brother hurt his leg and is not good for the rest of his life. The daughter heard that the goddaughter of Aunt Shi in the village seemed to have some ability, so she came to beg her father to let me go to Aunt Shi's house to see her daughter......"

Before Xiang Tao's words were finished, he was interrupted by Shi Lengzi:

"Are you crazy, what are you going to do to see her. She is a corrupt woman, and others can't hide from her, so you still go to her. ”

"You have heard what your daughter has said, but she only knows that she seems to be selling cloth in the bazaar, and she wishes to show her some of the cloth she has knitted, and see if she can get some money to get by." Peach whispered.

"Lao Tzu can't afford to support you, I need you to sell your own needlework in exchange for food." Shi Lengzi said angrily, startling Xiangtao.

That's not all, he casually pulled the bolt and was about to hit Xiangtao.

Peach heard the movement and limped to stop his father. His father was getting up when he pushed him out of the way.

Shi Lengzi's son was lame on one leg and couldn't stand steadily, how could he withstand such a hard push. He fell to the ground, and tears fell from the pain. His father saw it and became even more angry:

"All of them are debt collectors, and I don't know how much I owed you in my last life. You still have the face to cry, if it weren't for you, our family would be like this. ”

His son retorted:

"Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of rats make holes. I don't believe that when others scold you, you don't fight back, and when you hit you, you don't fight back. If you don't call it Leng Zi, my temperament is not up to you. ”

Shi Lengzi thought about it, if he hadn't been angry that his son had his leg discounted, and he had to go to the government office, his current life would not be so bitter.
