Chapter 16: Into the City V
"Little friend. Auntie wants to buy your fish, but what about your family? ”
Li Shuzhen looked out and didn't see anyone else, Qingli puffed up her small chest and said, "Auntie." I'm the only one here to sell it, my mom is selling fish over there, the fish is over there, and there are fresh vegetables, you go over and see that it's all live fish, it's very big."
Li Shuzhen then understood that the child was selling fish here alone, but it was very difficult to see the little girl's clothes at home, although it was patched, but it was very clean, it seemed that the child's mother was a neat person.
The barley pulled the woman to the basin containing the fish, and when Li Shuzhen saw the fish jumping in the basin, she immediately had the urge to buy it.
"Kid, how much is your fish?"
When she heard someone ask about the price, she was a little embarrassed and said, "Auntie, how much do you usually buy from the grocery store?" ”
She really doesn't know the price, she doesn't have anything to ask at home, although she lives again, I don't know how much, rural people rarely buy fish to eat, even if they buy it, it is also a fish in the sea, so the price of freshwater fish is not how much it is even if the third aunt who just gave birth to a child next door can't say how much.
When Li Shuzhen saw the child's embarrassment, a wave of pity suddenly swelled in her heart, such a young child began to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, which made her, who is also a mother, feel distressed.
"Children, Auntie buys fish from the store for three cents a catty, but that's the price of dead fish, how can you be a little more expensive if you are a live fish, can Auntie give you three cents and twenty-one catties?"
After the barley knew the price in the city, he shook his head and said, "Auntie, let's count it according to three cents, and if there is more or less, please take care of some, I didn't bring a scale, do you have a scale at home?" ”
When she came over, she also thought of bringing a scale, but she said that it was really expensive, and their family didn't have the ability to buy this thing, so she planned to come over and borrow it, but if it didn't work, she would measure it with her hands.
The price of the barley made Li Shuzhen a little surprised, "Yes, yes, Auntie will go back and get it for you, then I'll ask others to see if there is anything to buy."
Such a cheap price and no need to subscribe to the warrant, it is too cost-effective, she ran back happily, Qingli heard that there were still people who came to buy, this heart also began to be happy, the opening is auspicious, today it seems that it is an auspicious day of the zodiac Li Shuzhen went back to get the money and weighed, began to knock on the door of the neighbors, there are many old men and old ladies who have nothing to stay at home, there is such a good thing or share it with the neighbors who have a good relationship.
The people around heard that there was this good thing, and they all took the basin out of the house, and the barley saw a lot of people coming over from a distance, and quickly got a few more fish and vegetables from the baby
The old man and the old lady arrived and hurried over to pick fish, everyone selected the fish to buy, and the vegetables, and hurried to pay, one was in a hurry to go home to cook, and the other was afraid that someone would see them buying and selling privately and let people catch them.
Of course, some people rushed to pay for barley, and they wanted to weigh others with the scale, but due to the limited strength, she really couldn't lift the weighing pan.
Li Shuzhen looked distressed from the sidelines, where could the child be lifted when he was too young, "Little friend, auntie will tell you, you are responsible for collecting money."
For this kind woman, Qingli was really grateful in her heart, and a smile appeared on her innocent little face, and she said thank you sweetly.
Li Shuzhen reported the weight here, and the barley side immediately calculated the price, and even the person who bought the fish was surprised by the speed, "If this child goes to school, he will definitely have a great future in the future" Someone in the crowd sighed and said.
The thirteen fish that were taken out were sold, as well as the greens, tomatoes, and beans that I picked yesterday. Wang Qian's pocket was also full of change, and she only charged half the price for the fish she gave to Li Shuzhen in the end, and everyone helped so much, why do you have to give people a little discount.
Li Shuzhen originally wanted to give the full price, but she couldn't resist the child's insistence, "Little friend, if you still come here to sell things in the future, you can come here, let's hide this place a little bit, others won't find it lightly, you must not go to a crowded place to sell it, be careful to let people report it." Before leaving, she did not forget to tell this little girl from the countryside. I'm afraid that the child doesn't understand the situation, the money is not earned, and something happens again.
Qing Barley is really sincerely grateful to this kind daughter, without her help, if these fish are sold, it will take a lot of effort, "Auntie, my name is Qing Barley, you can call me barley." Don't know what you call it? ”
Li Shuzhen saw the polite appearance of the little girl, and she also liked it in her heart, how could her own naughty boy have such a cute little girl, and touched her little short hair lovingly, "Your name is barley, a nice name." Auntie's surname is Li Shuzhen, and in the future, you will be my Aunt Li."
"Aunt Li, I still have some rice, and white flour, I don't know, what do you want, what about the car on that mother's side?"
"When I heard it, rice and white flour, these are all fine grains and grain stamps are bought in rations, not to mention the countryside now, even in the city, most of them are not full of food, and if they have money, it is not easy to buy them on the black market!"
"Really, how many pounds"
"Two pockets, more than two hundred pounds!" Auntie will take you to your aunt's house first, and after a while, your mother will come over, you will come directly to my house, and I will contact the person who wants to buy it, come here, don't be caught.
"Row"
Li Shuzhen's house, on the first floor of the doorway, is easy to find, Li Shuzhen poured a glass of water for the barley, the barley drank it, and asked, where is the black market in this place, and left.
The barley went straight to the black market and bought two bags of cornmeal at a high price with the money he used to buy fish and vegetables.
Because the person is small, she discussed with the noodle seller and borrowed his cart for use.
The aunt who sells noodles is also a real person, and she feels that the barley is not a liar, besides, even if he asks him to help push it, it should be, after all, this is a big household.
Qingli thanked him for his help, saying that his home was not far away, and he would not need it, and he would send the car back in a short time, and he also left a pressure of two yuan to reassure the noodle seller.
The barley pushed the cornmeal to the bend, saw that there was no one, immediately received the cornmeal and the car into space, and with the great effort of nine tigers and two oxen, put the white flour and rice on the car.
Immediately walked downstairs to Li Shuzhen, when the community turned a corner, only to release the car, pushing the car, directly to the first floor, just arrived, Li Shuzhen immediately opened the door, obviously, she has been looking at the window.
"Child, what about your mother, why didn't you come, this thing, how heavy it is"
At this time, there was a room full of people sitting in the room, with pots and pockets.
Qing Barley smiled: "Auntie, it's not heavy, my mother can't come, and I don't want to break my trust with you, so I came over by myself."
Next, someone asked the price, and the barley was bought at the same price as in the Harmony Society, and it was by no means the price of the black market, and everyone was very happy.
It's still Aunt Li, who helps to weigh the barley, and collects money.
A bag of rice, a bag of noodles, was soon empty.
Barley, asked them about the direction of the hospital
