Chapter 162: Onlookers
Leaving the old man's windmill stall, Dinah happily took Tongtong from Ju An's hand and held him in her arms, and Ju An asked, "Who did you learn this bargaining skill from?" ”。
Dinah looked at Ju An proudly and replied: "When I first went out, my sister told me, she said that when she bought something, she cut off a third directly, and then slowly added it little by little, don't add too much, don't sell it and leave, this trick really works, you see that more than a dollar can buy a handmade windmill, it's really cost-effective." After speaking, he shook the windmill in Tongtong's hand at Ju An.
Ju An almost wiped his sweat when he heard this, do you think it's your domestic in the United States, labor is expensive to death, and the most important thing in China is labor. I was too lazy to explain to Dinah, and the more I explained, the more troublesome it became, so I followed Dinah and squeezed the crowd and continued to walk forward.
Tongtong, who was holding him in his arms, saw a man selling rock sugar gourds, so he said to Ju An: "Uncle, there are people who sell rock sugar gourds, the red ones are really good-looking." After speaking, he looked at Ju'an and looked at the rock sugar gourd, and he almost drooled.
Ju An couldn't help laughing when she saw her, and hurriedly took Dina down with her arm and walked towards the candy gourd seller, followed the vendor to buy two for four yuan, and then took Tongtong from Dinah's arms, so that Dina could eat sugar gourds, and this rock sugar gourd also rose a lot more than Ju An's memory, and the price of everything really increased.
Holding Tongtong and continuing to walk forward, unconsciously followed by a small string of tails, following behind Ju An and the two of them, and pointing at Dinah in front.
Ju An turned around and said to the crowd following: "Old and young masters, don't follow, it's not that I haven't seen foreigners on TV, what are you doing around, making people think that we Chinese are rude, how embarrassing."
At this time, a voice in the crowd sounded, and Ju An looked at a woman in her thirties: "I said big brother, it's your daughter-in-law, no, we've seen it on TV, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, don't worry, it's not bad, let's follow behind, you said that this Yanma is really tall and handsome, but the one on TV is yellow hair, and this one has the same black hair as us." After speaking, there was a sound of coaxing.
Ju An hugged Tongtong and shook his head, just wanted to go forward, but who knew that the little guy in his arms said to the crowd prominently: "This is Tongtong's aunt, look at the pony that my aunt bought me." With that, he took the pony out of his arms and shook it at the crowd. Ju An saw that the little guy still had the crushed sugar residue of the sugar gourd on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly helped wipe it off.
Dina looked at Juan and said, "Leave them alone, just don't interfere with us, I feel like a Hollywood star, just someone is going to ask me for an autograph, this feels very good!" ”。 After speaking, he took a bite of the sugar gourd, and continued to pull Ju An's arm and walked forward.
Hearing what Dinah said, what else could Ju An say, let's continue shopping.
Next, I went to a few stalls, what balloons in Tongtong's hands, what gray Taro's mask, in front of a chicken, a push of the chick on the ground instigated the push of the wings, and there were a lot of them, all of which were held in Tongtong's arms.
After walking for a while, a small cloth stall attracted Dinah's attention, and quickly pulled Ju An towards the stall, and when he arrived at the front of the stall, it turned out to be a seller of children's toys, all of which were traditional handicrafts, that is, cloth tigers, as well as children's tiger hats and small tiger head shoes, red, yellow, black colorful little tigers filled the stall.
Dinah happily pulled Ju An to squat down, and said to Ju An: "These things are so beautiful, help me pick a few and give them to my sister and little nephew when I go back, they will definitely like it."
"This foreign girl knows the goods, I do this at home, the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors, I have been doing it myself for more than 20 years, you look at this handiwork" The stall owner's aunt stretched out her thumb to Dinah and praised it, and then pulled the ears of a little tiger away, so that Dinah could see the fine stitches.
Dinah pulled Ju'an to look at it happily, but it turned out that a few people squatting next to the stall put down the things in their hands, and looked at Dinah neatly, and they didn't even buy anything.
Seeing that Dina took this and looked at it, and that looked at it, she thought it was all good-looking, and she didn't know which one to choose after carefully picking it for a long time, Ju An glanced at the crowd on the inner and outer three floors of the surrounding area, and said to the stall owner: "What are you filling in here, can I take a look." Ju An was frightened by the reported black-hearted cotton, and it would not be embarrassing enough to buy this thing and give it away.
The stall owner's aunt smiled and took a cloth tiger in Dinah's hand, then took a small pair of scissors and picked up a few stitches under the tiger's belly, and handed it to Ju An: "Look for yourself, I know what you're worried about, young man, listen to your accent is also from the county, everyone is from the township, black-hearted cotton is sold here, I'm afraid that people will poke the backbone."
Ju An looked at the thread twice, the snow-white cotton did look like this year's new cotton, at this time an onlooker next to him spoke: "Big brother, Aunt Qian, this is all new cotton, all made by hand, every year here to sell cloth tigers, more than ten years of rest assured."
Aunt Qian, the stall owner, said: "If you are optimistic about that with your daughter-in-law, I will fill it in for you on the spot, your foreign daughter-in-law must be the first time to come to the county, don't worry, you can't pit the villagers."
Dinah listened to the conversation between Ju An and the stall owner on the side, while picking up the cloth tiger, Tongtong was in the crook of Ju An's arm, pouting her little butt to help Dina pick up the tiger. Ju An nodded and said to Dinah, "Buy whatever you like."
Who knew that Dina took seven or eight cloth tigers in a row, plus five tiger hats and a few pairs of small tiger shoes, and even Tongtong also got a tiger hat and tiger shoes, and Ju An kept wiping sweat, and the stall owner Aunt Qian was smiling, and finally spent nearly 200 yuan on the account, and Dinah was happy to say that it was cheap, cheap, and she bought so many things for just over 20 US dollars. Aunt Qian, the stall owner, also gave the big black plastic bag, put the things in and handed it to Ju An.
Ju An took Dina and pushed Tongtong away from the crowd, and as soon as he left, he heard the stall owner's aunt shouting: "Come and see, come and see, the cloth tiger that foreign girls like" Ju An almost fell on his heel when he heard it.
After continuing to walk with Dinah for a while, it became more and more difficult, there were more and more people in the back, and it was difficult to even walk, Dinah finally began to frown, and at this time she heard a young man next to her say: "This big Yanma is really white."
Dinah took one look at him and said, "You Chinese horse captain is so yellow." Then he took Ju'an's arm and walked forward, followed by a burst of laughter.
As soon as Ju An saw it, don't go shopping, and go home directly. The two of them took Tongtong to squeeze out of the crowd with great difficulty, then took the bicycle and fled back to the house.
Back at home, my sister and brother-in-law were peeling peanuts on the sofa while watching TV, and when they saw Ju An and Dinah carrying a big black plastic bag, my sister said, "You guys are moving, why did you get so many things."
Ju An put the big black plastic bag on the sofa and said, "The little cloth tiger that Dinah bought, and the tiger head hat and small shoes that she bought for her little nephew." At this time, Tongtong walked in with a lot of things.
My sister looked at the newly bought tiger head hat stuck on Tongtong's head, and was proud, so she said with a cold face: "Why did you let your uncle buy you so many things, it's rude, isn't there a tiger head hat at home, I wear it for a day and it's ugly, and let my uncle spend money indiscriminately."
As soon as Tongtong's mouth was pouted, there were signs of falling off the golden beans: "I didn't ask for it, my uncle bought it."
Ju An looked at it and hurriedly said, "I really didn't want it, I bought it when I saw it for fun." It didn't matter, but as soon as Ju An said this, Tongtong felt even more aggrieved, and cried: "Mom, big villain."
Ju An hurriedly hugged the little guy in his arms, patted his back and said, "Be good, don't cry, when your uncle is free, take you to McDonald's!" ”。
"Really?" Tongtong snorted and said, looking at Ju An and nodded, only to stop crying one by one.
Holding Tongtong on the sofa, Ju An said: "Walking around is like going to the zoo, it didn't take long for Dinah to be watched, in the end you don't know, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, it is difficult to walk, we are coming back, we haven't even bought the Spring Festival couplets, you can buy it when the time comes."
When my sister heard this, she covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I forgot, Dinah is easy to be watched, and if you don't pay attention, you shouldn't be able to find out."
"As soon as she spoke, she was all exposed, at the beginning, Dinah still felt like enjoying the treatment of a Hollywood star, and in the end she couldn't stand it, by the way, what do you think of the little tiger we bought, don't have a black heart cotton" Ju An said worriedly.
"Which one bought it?" said the elder sister, looking at Dinah, who was busy looking at the little tiger in the bag.
"An aunt with the surname Qian sells it," Ju An replied.
My sister nodded and said, "It's okay, Tongtong's tiger head hat and tiger head shoes when she was a child were all bought from her, and Aunt Qian has good craftsmanship."
Waiting for Dina to take out the little cloth tiger picked by Tongtong and hand it to Tongtong, Tongtong looked at Ju An's old sister in a daze, and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, the sister looked at it and nodded, Tongtong took it with a smile, slipped down from Ju An's arms, and lay on the sofa alone and grunted and played with the conversation between the pony and the tiger, Ju An listened to it for a long time and didn't figure out what it was about.
Seeing that Dinah was almost packed, Juan carried the bag to Dinah's room and put the cloth tiger in Dinah's luggage.
