After Ling'er sent Liang Daming and Yuanbao away, she was overjoyed, looking at Liang Daming's attitude, most of this business was completed! There is another point, I don't have to hide and hide when I see them in the future, they will change their clothes for a while and change their names for a while, anyway, everyone has a secret, and it's flat! How good it is, it's easy and comfortable, the key is to make money!

They want to pay thousands of taels of rice grain, one load earns 50 wen, 10 taels of 500 wen, 100 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 taels of silver. The more Ling'er thought about it, the happier she became, and she was even so excited that she danced on the street, attracting passers-by to look sideways for a while, and they all avoided walking when they saw her.

Ling'er walked around the street for a while, looked at the sky, it was almost noon, and it had been more than half an hour since she came out, and I don't know if my mother and Yue'er had sold out the bamboo goods? Today, I transported a large cart of bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets to carry baskets, which can be worth hundreds of Wen, which is a month or two of Dad's hard work, and it can't be wasted!

So she walked quickly to the direction of the Zhenkou market, and when she passed by the steamed bun shop that she frequented, she happened to see the shopkeeper and his wife carrying a large basket of hot steamed buns out. Ling'er stopped, swallowed her saliva, and decided to go over and buy a few.

She came to the bun shop and shouted, "Shopkeeper, I want... Twenty meat buns! ”

The proprietress wiped her hands and looked up to see that it was Ling'er, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, are you here to buy buns again?" Are you done buying so much to eat? ”

"Hehe, auntie, people who sell things wish others would buy more, why do I buy them from you, and you are still reluctant to do it?"

"Where? You girl loves to be poor the most, I said it's a pity that you can't finish eating when you buy too much! Why don't you pack ten first? ”

"No, I want twenty, in addition to my mother, there are also Sister Yue'er, Brother Xiaohuzi, Uncle Jiarong, Uncle Jiafu, they often help our family, how can I have Haodong to pick and search for a person to hide and eat?"

The proprietress laughed and said, "You girl is really good at repaying your kindness, okay, I'll pick you up twenty, even if... Eight pennies, two pennies cheaper for you! ”

"Thank you, auntie!" Ling'er thanked her sweetly, taking advantage of the proprietress to pick up the buns, she looked around, and suddenly found that the shop next door to the bun shop was closed, and there was a sign of "shop for rent and sale" on the door panel.

Ling'er asked the proprietress, and the proprietress turned her head to look at it, and sighed: "Alas, it's not that the man who killed that day is gambling and lustful, owes a lot of debt, and hides outside and doesn't dare to come back."

Poor his wife and children at home, from time to time by the debt to find the door, can not get the silver to move things, today to move a little, tomorrow to move a little, the shop has been moved, some of the nearby villages sell groceries to their people did not get the money, the lady had no choice, had to close the shop back to her mother's house, ask us to help her watch, if necessary, sell the shop! ”

Ling'er nodded slightly, took the bun and paid for it and left slowly, she was thinking as she walked, and ran back after walking a distance: "Auntie, this shop lady asked you to help her sell the shop, right?" How much silver does she need to sell? ”

The proprietress looked down at her: "What?" Do you want to buy it? ”

"No, just ask, I don't think anyone in the village wants to buy it? Auntie, you can quote me a real price, I'll go back and ask! ”

The lady of the bun shop thought for a while and said, "When she left, she told me that if someone offered fifty taels, she would immediately take the title deed and come over!" But we're just a small town here, and the shops on the main street that are much bigger than this sell for fifty taels, who dares to ask for this price? Alas, it's all to blame for the man who is not angry, and the lady can't help it, it's not enough to sell less to pay off the debt! ”

Fifty taels is indeed too expensive, and the shop with the backyard in this location can be sold for half the price, which is good, and this lady dares to ask for the price!

Ling'er thought for a while and said: "Auntie, no matter whether she has difficulties or not, the price is too high, so no one will want to buy it, if it drags on for too long, the debtor will come to the door, and ask for a shop to pay off the debt, maybe ten taels of silver will not be worth it at that time!" ”

The proprietress sighed: "Yes, it's true, but it's not mine after all, she said that, and I can only tell the buyer like this!" ”

Ling'er thought about it in her heart: "Auntie, otherwise, there is a neighbor next door to my house who wants to buy a shop, and he said that the location within thirty taels can be considered, or you can help ask the owner of this shop and ask her if she is willing to sell it for thirty taels?" If you want to, leave a word, we will come over and sign the contract immediately, if we don't want to, we can find another house! ”

The proprietress thought for a while: "Well, the price of thirty taels is not bad, is your neighbor in a hurry?" ”

"It's a little urgent, they want to buy it in the next two days, it's best to reply within two days, is it okay, auntie?"

"Okay, I'll help you ask!"

Ling'er thanked the lady of the bun shop, and went to the market happily with a large bag of buns. Now there are a lot fewer people in the market, and those who have sold out of things are wandering around in front of the stalls to see if they can pick up some cheap, and those who have not sold out are in a hurry, so they shout that they want to pack the rest of the things and sell them, and the price will naturally be much cheaper.

When Ling'er arrived in front of her stall, the things had been sold out, but the old lady was left sitting there alone, but there was no shadow of Yue'er, and the father and son of Xiaohuzi nearby were nowhere to be seen.

Ling'er stepped forward: "Mother, give you buns, Sister Yue'er?" ”

As soon as the old lady saw her, she immediately pulled her over and patted her a few times with annoyance: "You kid, why didn't you say hello and ran away?" I thought you were caught by some trafficker, and you just asked Xiaohuzi's father and Brother Rong to help find someone, hey! You kid, why are you so worry-free! ”

Ling'er stuck out her tongue: "Mother, people are not children anymore, it's okay to go out for a few months, how can you lose it so easily?" Come on, this bun is for you, you eat it first, and I'll go and get the little tiger back! ”

Ling'er stuffed the burden to the old lady, and then ran away with a smoke, fortunately the market is not too crowded now, and Ling'er didn't spend much effort to find Xiaohuzi and Yue'er back. As soon as Yue'er saw her, she complained: "Ling'er, you are too uninteresting, run out to play by yourself, and leave me there to help your mother sell the basket!" Really, people will never come with you to the market in the future! ”

Ling'er flattered: "Sister Yue'er, don't be angry, I'm not playing, I'm on business!" ”

"Business? What can you do? Really! ”

"Oh, it's not fun anyway! Sister Yue'er, I bought you a lot of meat buns, at my mother's place, let's go back quickly, or we will finish it! ”

"Meat buns, the one in Zhenkou?"

"Of course, make sure you have enough!"

"Okay, what you said, it's not enough, you have to continue to invite me to eat!"

"No problem, let's go!"

The two returned to the old lady and saw that she was looking at a lot of worries, Yue'er hugged her happily: "Wow! So much, Ling'er, you're really interesting, it's all mine! ”

"Hey, wait, wait! Sister Yue'er, you can't eat alone, leave two for my mother and Xiaohuzi! ”

Yue'er hid the burden back: "Who said I can't eat, I save it and eat it slowly, I can't eat it today and eat it tomorrow?" It's all mine, and you'll figure out the rest! ”

Ling'er still had to chase after her, but the old lady grabbed her: "Forget it, Ling'er, give it to her if Yue'er likes to eat, she helped us sell bamboo goods all morning, and we haven't thanked anyone yet!" ”

Helpless, Ling'er had no choice but to go to the steamed bun shop again to buy twenty big meat buns and come back and distribute them to Xiaohuzi, but half of them were snatched away by Yue'er! This girl is a greedy and protective master, she hugged the bun all the way home, when she arrived at the village, she couldn't walk, and finally Ling'er asked Wang Jiarong to drive the ox cart to the door of the old village chief's house, and then helped her down!

After returning home, Ling'er and the old lady counted the harvest of today's bamboo goods, and today they sold a total of 20 bamboo baskets, 30 back baskets, 30 vegetable baskets, and a number of small pieces such as a dustpan, and a total of 856 copper coins.

The old lady happily strung the copper coins one by one with the red thread, and discussed with her father: "His father, I see that I am going to threh grain recently, and there are many people who buy bamboo baskets. ”

Ling'er said: "Mother, this time it may not be good to sell next time!" People have bought everything they should buy, who are they going to sell to? ”

"You girl, don't say bad things, it will be easy to sell next time!"

Ling'er laughed dryly, forgetting the habits of people here, everything must be said good, and if it is bad, it is unlucky, if too many unlucky things are fulfilled, then the person who speaks will become a broom star!

After the old lady strung the copper coins, found her wooden box where the silver coins were stored, and carefully put the copper coins into it, Ling'er said, "Mother, is it okay to discuss something with you?" ”

The old lady looked at the money box happily and said casually: "Say it!" ”

"That's... Mother, let's ...... Is it good to go to the town and buy a shop? ”

"Buy a shop!" The old lady looked up at you: "What are you buying a shop for?" ”

"Mother, you see, we say that we are farmers, but we don't have a piece of land, in Wangjia Village is a foreign household, although the old village chief helps us, but there are always people who look at us unpleasantly, and always want to bully us from time to time.

Now our family relies on Daddy weaving bamboo goods to sell to live, the bamboo goods every time to catch the market, early in the morning to get to the market to sell, summer is fine, if winter or rainy days will be troublesome! If you can't sell it, it's troublesome to move back!

Today I went to buy steamed buns, and I saw that the grocery store next door to the steamed bun shop was going to sell, about thirty taels of silver was enough. The shop is quite big, and there is a small courtyard in the back, close to Wangjia Village, if we can buy that place, not only can we live at home, but also do some business or something in the future, my father and mother look at the shop, I will go to the town to find some work to do, what is convenient to do, isn't it? Dad, Mom, what do you think? ”

The old lady frowned when she heard this: "Buy a shop?" We have been farmers all our lives, how can we do any business? Ling'er, don't look at the little money at home and think that our family is rich, and this little money should be kept to buy land.

You see you're seven years old this year, and you've grown up in the blink of an eye! My mother thought to herself, if we can buy more land, maybe we can recruit a son-in-law in the future, so that our Yang family will have a future! (To be continued.)
