014. Enter the city
When she thought about borrowing an ox cart, she thought about it, but she still thought of Aunt Zhang's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Sure enough, Aunt Zhang agreed, and said that she and her daughter would also go to the county seat to catch the market in five days, and they could go together.
Today's walnuts have undergone the initial deastringency treatment and can be eaten directly. She can be sure that the reason why people here don't like to eat walnuts is that they don't know how to process them...... After her Gu Jiayi's processing and treatment, the taste is very different.
Gu Jiayi opened a walnut with the door and handed it to Sister-in-law Niu and Yuan.
"Taste it."
The two frowned and peeled off the shell, took a little bit and put it in their mouths, their expressions changed from plain to surprised, and finally they were happy, "Sister Yi'er, I have eaten walnuts before, and this taste is completely different." β
"Well, it tastes very similar to the walnuts I have there, but it's a little bit worse."
Gu Jiayi smiled: "Aunt Yuan, where is your hometown?" β
"You don't know," Yuan clapped his hands, cleaned the black crumbs of the walnuts on his hands, and continued to embroider, "You can take it and sell it, and you're done appreciating it." β
"Yes!" Gu Jiayi saluted.
"Where did this girl learn these movements and language?" Sister-in-law Niu said with a smile.
Gu Jiayi put down the hand she held above her head in a daze, how could she get carried away, this is ancient times, how could there be such a way of saluting, but it was the Yuan family, who looked at Gu Jiayi thoughtfully.
On the day she left, Gu Jiayi asked Sister-in-law Niu to help carry ten catties of walnuts out.
Aunt Zhang looked at it and couldn't help but say, "Sister Yi'er, don't blame your aunt for being mouthy, can this walnut be sold?" β
"Sister-in-law, don't believe our sister Yi, this walnut is different."
Aunt Zhang nodded in disbelief.
Gu Jiayi leaned on the edge of the ox cart and took a nap, she was awakened by the cute voice of Aunt Zhang's daughter.
"Mother, why do you say this city is called 'Rose City', I haven't even seen a single rose."
"How do I know," Aunt Zhang asked the cow to stop, and then turned around and gently shook Gu Jiayi, "Sister Yi'er, it's here." β
"Mother, I want to be with Sister Yi."
"No, you're still young, what should you do if you get lost, with your mother!"
"Sister Yi is more familiar with this county than you, how can she get lost with her."
Gu Jiayi glanced at Mengmeng, in fact, to be honest, she is not only a road idiot, but she has not set foot in this place for three years, many things are vaguely remembered, if Mengmeng follows her, she is really afraid of losing her.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang said, "Okay, Sister Yi'er, just ask you to help me watch her, I bought something and rushed back soon, and we will meet here." β
Gu Jiayi still wanted to say something, she had been pulled off the ox cart by Mengmeng, and Aunt Zhang had already driven the cart away, she knocked on the chaotic brain she had just woken up and took Mengmeng's hand.
"Sister, is there a lot of delicious food in the county?"
"Get down to business first." Gu Jiayi said angrily, hey, this snack goods!
"Then let's finish our business, can we go buy something delicious?"
"Uh-huh." Gu Jiayi casually said a few perfunctory words.
She also remembered that there were three big dry goods stores in Rose City, namely Zhao Kee, Qian Ji and Wang Ji.
She decided to go to Zhao Ji first.
"Wow, sister, look, there are so many apricots and plums here, I really want to eat them!" As soon as Meng Meng came in, she drooled at the food.
"What do the girls want?" The guy asked enthusiastically.
Gu Jiayi said with a smile: "This little brother is good, I don't know if you sell walnuts here?" β
"Walnuts?" The man's smile froze slightly, "I'm sorry, we don't sell walnuts here." β
"So, it just so happens that I have some walnuts here, do you want them?" Gu Jiayi proposed three catties of walnuts and said to the guy. She separated the ten catties of walnuts, and only took three catties and put them in a bag and carried them in her hand, and the remaining seven catties were on Aunt Zhang's ox cart.
"This, no one eats this." The guy grimaced.
"How so? You can try my walnuts. β
"No, no, no." The guy waved his hand, already a little impatient.
"It's really delicious, try it."
The guy shirked again and again, and finally said angrily: "You're here to make trouble, right?" β
Gu Jiayi didn't get angry, "If you don't try, don't try, little brother, don't be angry." β
She turned around and took Meng Meng's hand and went out. This Zhao Ji is really illiterate, and the service attitude is too bad!
"Mengmeng, you tell me, for a while......" Gu Jiayi leaned over and explained in Mengmeng's ear.
"Can it be done? If you can do it, my sister invites you to eat rock sugar gourd. β
When Meng Meng heard that there was something to eat, her eyes lit up, and she nodded busily.
The two went to Qian Ji again.
This time, Gu Jiayi did not enter the door directly, but set up a stall on the opposite side of it, she put her three catties of walnuts in front of her, and shouted: "Sell walnuts, sell walnuts......"
After calling for a long time, no one paid attention to her.
At this time, Meng Meng ran over, tilted her head to look at her for a while, pointed to the walnuts on the ground and said, "This sister, what is this?" β
"Walnuts, little sister, do you want to eat them?"
"This thing looks black, and the shell is so thick, it must not taste good."
"Hey, this sister, it's not that I bully the small, my walnut is definitely different from what you imagined, why don't you try it?"
Moe pretending to be a difficult look.
Gu Jiayi also talked about the many benefits of walnuts, such as nourishing the brain, nourishing the skin, being good for the body, and having high nutritional value.
"What is nutrition?"
Well, Gu Jiayi knew that she had said too much, "That is, it can replenish a variety of energy needed by the human body." β
"Energy?" Meng Meng tilted her head and thought. Why is Sister Yi saying such strange words, she has never heard of them?
"Come, go to the door and clip it, and you can eat it after you crush the shell." Gu Jiayi looked at the people who came around to watch the excitement, thinking about striking while the iron was hot.
"Little sister, I'll help you." A man stood up and crushed the walnut in one hand.
Mengmeng took half of it and put it in her mouth, and the onlookers looked at her curiously, and the man was also curious, so he also ate it.
"That's good." The man said.
Meng Meng is also quite good at things, and exclaimed excitedly: "I've never eaten walnuts, I didn't expect them to be so delicious!" β
Everyone was also eager to try it and wanted to try it.
"Why is there only these, I want them all!" The man said cheerfully.
"Big brother doesn't ask about the price?"
"I don't know what the price is?"
"One hundred wen a catty, three catties three hundred wen!"
"Deal!"
As a result, Gu Jiayi earned 300 yuan.
After the crowd dispersed, she saw a thin old man at Qian Ji at the door and glanced at her a few times, then walked over quickly and said, "This girl, I am Qian Ji's bookkeeper, and my shopkeeper is invited." β
"Well said." Gu Jiayi walked in with the old man.
As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man in a blue-gray dress walked out.
"Below is the shopkeeper of this money record, surnamed Ning. I've seen the girl selling walnuts just now, I wonder if the girl is willing to cooperate with my Qian Ji? We have a faΓ§ade and a reputation, it's better than a girl selling alone. β
This money keeper is quite discerning and quite good at talking.
"Well, I still have seven catties of walnuts, if the shopkeeper Ning is willing, I will send them to you later."
"That's the best, of course. By the way, I don't know the girl's surname? β
"Don't be expensive, the surname is Gu. Let's talk about the terms of cooperation. β
"Oh? What does Miss Gu think? β
"My price is 100 wen a pound. Don't be surprised, I also package the post-publicity and planning. β
"What? Publicize? Mastermind? The shopkeeper Ning and the bookkeeper glanced at each other, and their mouths opened into an "O" shape, what kind of terms are these, I have never heard of them.
