Chapter 4 I finally saw the copper plate

Grandpa was reluctant to ride the ox cart and had to walk to the market in order to save the six bundles of firewood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoYang Yun tried her best to persuade her grandfather, now that there are many people in the morning, it is naturally better to go early and go home as soon as possible. In addition, this pair of bamboo baskets is too heavy, and the pressure on his grandfather's shoulders has made him bend slightly, and he can not only get to the market early by taking the ox cart, but also reduce the burden on his grandfather. Grandpa is now the pillar of the Yang family. The villagers on the ox cart hurried to the market, and they also persuaded the grandfather, and Aunt Li also happened to be on the ox cart. She persuaded her grandfather, "Uncle Yang, just sit up, it's rare that the child wants to honor you, I'm afraid that you will work too hard to go to the market, your burden is too heavy, and you can come back early if you go early, Yun girl, this child is so thin, the basket on his back is so heavy, and he will be tired of the child when he walks to the market." ā€

Grandpa sighed and put the burden on the back of the ox cart, and put Yang Yun's bamboo basket on before sitting on the ox cart with everyone. The ox cart slowly drove towards the market. When we arrived at the market, there were a lot of people, and the people of the village took their own things and found a place to sell them.

I found a good place with my grandfather to put things out.

"Grandpa, how much does your bamboo mat sell for on weekdays?"

"Usually sells ten wen a piece, most of the people in the countryside can make this bamboo mat, and they can only sell it to the people in the town." Grandpa has to weave a bamboo mat for almost an hour, which is equivalent to two hours to earn ten yuan, no wonder the family is so poor that they really can't make money.

"This uncle, how to sell this bamboo mat." A farmer came up to him and asked for the price of the mat.

"This uncle's bamboo mat is twelve pieces a piece." Yang Yun answered before her grandfather could speak.

"Why is it more expensive than before, it used to be only ten cents a piece."

"Uncle, this price is really not expensive, the little woman's grandfather is an old craftsman, you see the mat made by the youngest daughter's grandfather, strong and durable, a mat guarantees that you can use it for a long time."

"Uncle still thinks it's too expensive, cheaper."

"Uncle, this price is really not expensive, a mat has to be woven for an hour, our peasant family is a real person, absolutely Tong Su is not bullied, you are working in the town, right? At a glance, you know that you are a capable person, and the salary must be very high, so don't worry about these two pennies with us. Besides, now in the busy farming season, there are very few people selling bamboo mats today, and we also want to make some money for some rice. ā€

"Huh! This little girl has a really clever mouth, and she knows how to read people, and the uncle just found a job in the Li family in the town, so he rushed to the little girl to be clever and good-talking, so he came to two mats. ā€

"This little brother, don't worry about the little girl, the children are ignorant and talk nonsense."

"This uncle, this little girl is a clever girl at first glance, it's your granddaughter! This little girl has a clever mouth, and the man likes to listen to what she says, so she came to two mats, and the man happened to help his younger brother buy a mat, and he just responded to the work of the Li family in the town like the man. ā€

"Uncle, congratulations so much, you really have the ability to work in the Li family in the town, I heard that the Li family is the richest man in the town."

"Haha, it's okay. How can there be such a good ability as a little girl. Dahan was embarrassed to praise Yang Yun, and after taking the mat, he went to other stalls to buy other items.

The twenty-four copper plate was heavy in his hand, and his heart was sad and happy. I am sad because it is not easy for this poor family to make money, and I am happy that I finally have a harvest.

The reason why I dared to boldly guess that the uncle was working in the town just now was because I knew that in this busy farming season, a man was the main laborer of the family, and most of the people who bought and sold things in this market were women, or they were old men like grandpa, a main laborer did not farm at home, and those who came to the town generally had jobs in the town, and the wages must not be low, and the peasants valued their own food the most, unless the wages of the work were better than farming, otherwise who would give up their rations and run to work.

Turning his head and seeing his grandfather looking at Yang Yun with scrutinizing eyes, he finished beating the drum in his heart and forgot to hide it.

"Grandpa, I usually saw Aunt Wednesday and the people who bought the goods in the small store in our village introduce the business like this, Xiao Yun just learned Aunt Wednesday to introduce our bamboo mat to the uncle, but I didn't expect this business to really be done."

Grandpa glanced at Yang Yun and didn't say anything, then turned his head and went to sell the mat, alas! I can't blame grandpa for having such an opinion of Yang Yun, my father and aunt have passed away, and grandpa pinned all his hopes on our children, for fear that we will have any strange behavior, especially in this era, the reputation of women is more important, if we have any three longs and two shortcomings, it will be the last straw that crushes grandpa's life.

It took more than two hours to sell ten mats, and the business was good, because there were only two people who sold mats today, and none of the bamboo mats were sold, and it was not that Yang Yun didn't want to sell, but it was really an ordinary peasant family who had seen the mats in the morning until now, and the peasant family who would care about the hot stamping on the wooden table at their own home, most of the peasant families went to the mountains to find some tables and chairs made of ordinary trees, which could be used, and they were not particular at all.

Next to Yang Yun's stall is a good fish business, and there are only three fish left in the bucket, which looks like they should be wild. At this time, a lady came over, and she knew that the material was good when she looked at her clothes, and she also inserted two silver hairpins on her head, and the hairpins were inlaid with small pearls. There was also a little girl next to her, and at a glance, she knew that it was not an ordinary peasant family. She walked to the fish stall and bought the remaining three fish directly, paying ninety cents without blinking. Seeing that she was about to leave after buying fish, he quickly called out to stop her.

"Auntie, please stay."

The eldest lady turned to look at Yang Yun, frowned slightly, and was displeased that Yang Yun suddenly stopped her. Looking at Yang Yun's eyes, there was no dislike. Yang Yun took two bamboo mats and stepped forward.

"Auntie, suddenly abrupt you, please forgive me, the essence is so, the little woman's grandfather knitted some bamboo mats specially used to pad hot plates and hot pots, because everyone has never seen, I don't know its benefits, today I see the aunt you have a generous temperament, must be a well-informed person, please help the little woman to see if this bamboo mat is practical."

The eldest lady heard Yang Yun praise her for her generosity and knowledge, and her displeasure just now suddenly stopped her was a little less, and her face was a little gentler. The lady took the bamboo mat and looked at it and said, "It's lightweight, and there is a fragrance of bamboo, which should be made of this year's Hsinchu." ā€

"Ah, auntie, you have a really good eye, it is indeed this year's Hsinchu, Hsinchu has a relatively soft toughness, and the things made of it have high bearing capacity and a strong fragrance. You can see it at a glance. "Yang Yun is about to praise the eldest lady to the sky, anyway, if you praise people, you don't need money, seeing the joy on the eldest mother's face, you know that you are praising the right person.

"The little girl is sweet-mouthed, where does the eldest lady have this ability, the woman's master is a bamboo lover, but on weekdays I listen to the master talk about the habits of bamboo, so I remember some."

"The eldest lady is more knowledgeable than our peasant family, and you can also see it close to the master, the eldest lady is really a good skill." They all praised the eldest lady unreasonablely, and the spring breeze on the eldest mother's face made people feel that spring was near, although winter had not yet arrived, and spring was still far away.

(Digression: Although the heroine is only 10 years old, everyone may think that she is too mature, Bird Bird sometimes goes to the market to buy vegetables, and sees that the little girls who sell vegetables in the market are only 10 years old, and the tone of introducing business is really not like a child)
