Chapter 11: The Man Who Broke the Siege
Pei Yan walked along the way, and saw that although the flowers and plants in the flower market are very rare, there are a lot of things called grain boards, and they are very interesting.
Most of them are made into miniature villages, with fields full of greenery, staggered and intertwined, extremely simulated farmhouses, and even clay sculptures of farmers working in the fields. If you look closely, it turns out that the green seedlings in the field are millet seedlings. Some of them even deliberately sprinkled water, and the droplets hung on the tips of the leaves, like morning dew.
Standing in the crowded market, looking at the grain boards of different shapes in front of you, it seems that you can hear the roosters and dogs barking. Pei Yan thought it was very interesting.
It seems that the flower market does not necessarily have to have flowers, and this thing probably came into being because there are no flowers to enjoy in early spring.
And business is not bad.
Pei Yan looked at it for a while, then walked forward, and after walking a few steps, she saw a stall that also sold wild Chunlan, and what surprised her even more was that there was a basket full of lily balls on the side of Chunlan. Most of them are white, with a few pink.
Generally speaking, the color of the lily will mostly be reflected in the color of the bulbs.
For example, for a lily with white flowers, the bulbs must be white. If there are pink flowers or other colors, the bulbs must be pink or light purple.
Pei Yan herself dug up white bulbs in the mountains. When I suddenly saw the pink bulbs, I was naturally overjoyed. Even if they are the same variety, they are different suits. If it's a different variety, that's even better.
She could just buy a few balls and go home to experiment with cross-breeding.
I asked the price, and it only cost two pennies for a ball. confirmed that it was indeed a lily with pink flowers, she took out all the thirty yuan given by Pei Mingyuan, and said, "Fifteen." After a pause, he emphasized, "I just need to bloom pink flowers!" ”
The stall owner is like a mother and child. The man was in his thirties, and the old woman was in her fifties. It's all the dress of ordinary people.
Seeing that Pei Yan asked for fifteen in one mouth, the man smiled happily and hurriedly took the money. The old woman quickly picked up the lily balls from the big basket.
"Hey, wait!" Pei Yan saw that she didn't care about the white powder and pretended to be angry, so she hurriedly approached the old woman, "This mother-in-law, I said, I just need to bloom the pink flowers." ”
"That's what the pink flower is." The old woman glanced up at her and continued to fill the basket.
Pei Yan's brows furrowed tightly, when her own money was tight, if it wasn't for the fact that the orchid grass was sold for some money today, even if she wanted these pink lilies very much, she was reluctant to take the money out to buy them.
Naturally, this money should be used on the edge of a knife.
Hurriedly pressed the old hand, picked up a white bulb from the small basket, and smiled at the old woman, "This mother-in-law, this is not a pink flower." I don't want this white, just pink balls. ”
Saying that he wants to pick it out.
"This is a pink flower, don't worry, we do business sincerely, can we still deceive you?" The man hurriedly said with a smile.
While he was talking, the old woman quickly dodged Pei Yan's hand and picked it into the basket, and also picked the white ball.
Pei Yan couldn't help frowning, this old woman didn't seem to understand, but bullied her for not understanding. There is a premonition that if you don't be tougher, you will be sold.
Hurriedly reached out to pick up the small basket in the woman's hand, "This mother-in-law, I will pick it myself." ”
The old woman ducked to the side, dodging her hand again, and said with a little displeasure on her face, "That's not good. This thing is expensive, if you break it again, the rest can't be sold, who should I ask for compensation? ”
Listening to the accents of these two people, it seemed that they were locals in Qingzhou Mansion, and Pei Yan didn't want to make things too stiff, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will start gently, and I won't be able to spoil your things." ”
"That's not going to work either!" Perhaps seeing her soft attitude, the old woman became more and more tough, looked her up and down a few times, and said, "The child's family, there is no one in the family, I can't trust you." ”
"Then ......," Pei Yan said patiently, "You can help me pick it, but I only need pink balls, not white ones." ”
The man glared at him and said unhappily, "I said you girl, why are you so difficult?" said that they all bloom with pink flowers, what does it matter what color the bulbs are? ”
Pei Yan was also annoyed, and glanced at him unhappily and retorted, "Even if they are all pink flowers, what color do I choose for this kind of ball, and what is the loss to you?" ”
The man was stunned by her questioning, grinned and sucked between his teeth, and glared at him like a scoundrel, "I said, you're here to find fault, right?" You still don't believe it, if you want to do that, don't buy it. ”
If it weren't for the money that had already been handed over to him, Pei Yan would be afraid that she would be stiff and her money would be wasted, so she wouldn't bother to spend money to be angry. After all, she has seen a lot of this kind of forced sale, so she has to be careful at this time. After listening to the man's words, he stretched out his hand without blinking, "That's it, I won't buy it." You give me back the money! ”
"Hey!" The man raised his eyebrows and shouted, puffing up his chest and saying to Pei Yan, "I said you are here to kill people, aren't you?" As he spoke, he sent the basket in the old woman's hand to Pei Yan, "Everything has been picked for you, and you said you don't want it again!" How can it be so cheap? ”
Pei Yan looked at the basket coldly, there were only two or three pink balls in the fifteen balls, and she didn't catch or move, "I made it clear when I bought things, as long as the pink flowers bloomed, you also agreed." Why do you fill me with balls full of white flowers? Who's playing tricks? ”
The man was so angry that he sucked between his teeth again, "Why can't I understand with you?" It's all in the pink flowers. ”
Pei Yan didn't give an inch, "Even if they are all pink flowers, give me all pink balls, and it won't hinder your business." ”
Two hits and there is a stalemate.
In the crowd of onlookers, there was a humanitarian who said, "You are selling things, even if they are the same things." Just give it to her according to what the little girl said, isn't it over? ”
"That's right. Even so, she will give her whatever she wants. Do business, make money with harmony! ”
The man said to the crowd, "It's not that I don't give it. It's this girl who is making trouble! I've told her hundreds of times, and I dug it up with my own hands. It's all pink flowers, and she still says I'm lying! I can't swallow this breath! ”
The onlookers persuaded Pei Yan again, "Even if they are all the same things, which one do you buy or not?" ”
"It's different." Pei Yan said, saying how she would tell the way to distinguish the color of lilies from the bulbs.
The old woman cried out, "You said yes?" Who can testify to you? ”
Pei Yan is extremely angry, this kind of thing is not an expert, who cares. This is also why the sale of fake flowers and plants is repeatedly prohibited. is secretly annoyed that he is quick and has no heart to defend against others, so he gave the money early.
I heard a gentle voice from the crowd, "I can testify." ”
Pei Yan suddenly turned her head and saw that the person who helped her speak was a young man who was about ten years old and had an exceptionally handsome and gentle face. He was wearing a half-worn fine cotton blue robe, although his clothes were ordinary, in the surging flow of people, he had his own dusty bearing.
A familiar song suddenly rings in my ears, just because I glanced at you in the crowd............
Uh, no, no! This is not the time to wander!
She coughed lightly in disguise, smiled gratefully at him, and then, straightened up, and said to the mother and son with a look of support, "You heard, someone testified!" ”
The old woman snorted and said, "There is no evidence, who knows if you are colluding or not." ”
Pei Yan smiled angrily, "Who has so much spare time to do such a big show, just to deceive you a few pink bulbs?" After a pause, his voice became a little louder, and he said to the onlookers, "I said that you don't believe it, and someone needs to testify." Someone testified, but you still don't admit it. Then I ask you, do any of you testify? Can you prove that the lily balls you dig are all pink? ”
The man exclaimed, "Aren't you embarrassed? In the wilderness, whoever digs up a wild thing to sell it, and specially pulls someone to be a witness. ”
Pei Yan said, "You don't have a certificate, but I have." What I say is one point more credible than what you say! As she spoke, she stretched her hand forward, "I won't buy the bulbs anymore, pay me back quickly!" ”
But the old woman refused.
The onlookers buzzed and discussed, saying that it was the stall owner's mother and son.
The man was annoyed by the discussion, and shouted at Pei Yan with a stalk, "If you want to buy pink balls, you can also buy pink balls, and a ball costs five cents." Fifteen balls, you take another thirty-five wen! ”
When the words fell, I heard someone in the crowd say softly, "Brother Wu family, harmony makes money, why bother to embarrass the little girl." ”
The man looked up impatiently, and when he saw someone coming, he changed his smiling face, "It's Master Song." Ouch, don't you know, I ran to the mountains west of the city before dawn yesterday, drank the cold wind all day, and pointed to these wild things in exchange for some silver to get by......"
As he spoke, Pei Yan turned her head to look at the person who was helping her speak. met with him, but he was stunned, this person was none other than Song Bao's bear child's father, Song Dayong.
Song Dayong only cared about talking to the man who sold the goods, and didn't look at Pei Yan until Pei Yan's face was completely turned. He was also stunned at this look, and he said in surprise, "It's Yan'er?!" How early and late did you get into town? And with whom? ”
Pei Yan told her about selling goods with Pei Mingyuan and Pei Yue.
The man selling the goods was dumbfounded, "Master Song, you know her." ”
"My niece, the girl of my third brother's family in Bei'an Town." Song Dayong said, and discussed with the man with a smile, "Look at my thin noodles, don't embarrass her, okay?" ”
The man was stunned, and said with a smile, "What did Master Song say?" While quickly picking out the pink bulbs and filling them in the basket, he smiled exculpatorily, "Master Song, don't take it to heart. I didn't mean to be embarrassed for her, doing business, sometimes I was angry for a while, and I couldn't help it......"
Song Da echoed two sentences with a smile, "It's not weird, it's not weird, it's a common thing." Then he took Pei Yan out of the stall.
Pei Yan took a few steps, thinking of the person who spoke to her at the beginning, and looked back, but the person was long gone. I only silently gave him a thumbs up in my heart.
and Song Dayong had a sentence of homely gossip to find Pei Mingyuan and Pei Yue.
After gossiping a few times, Song Dayong smiled at Pei Yan and said, "Why don't you go to the house to sit down when you arrive in Fucheng, but I'm afraid that your cousin will sue you and your aunt will blame you?" ”
Pei Yan secretly twisted her eyebrows, Pei Mingxia blamed her? Shouldn't you pay your own compensation?
Thinking that she woke up, Pei Liu first asked her to panic for Song Bao, and then sprinkled, saying that she had falsely accused Song Bao. Pei Yan had a score in her heart, and it must be the person who sent Song Bao home to hide the truth. not only concealed it, but also beat her upside down.
How unreasonable!
As if unintentionally, he explained softly, "No. My father was afraid that we would go, so he would inevitably mention the events of the day, which made my aunt and uncle angry again, and he couldn't bear to beat Brother Bao in front of him. Will my father persuade or not? Persuade it, Brother Bao is really a bit too much this time, and he should be taught. didn't persuade him, but it was like he deliberately came to the door to sue Brother Bao'er, so he didn't have to make my aunt annoy him. ”
Song Dayong is a veteran businessman who has been in business for many years, so he naturally heard that there was something in her words, and he was stunned, "How do you say this?" ”
