Chapter 51 Pitching the pot

Shen Lan followed her parents to the market not early, the better stalls have been occupied, there is no way to set up stalls in more remote places, Shen Xiaoquan They are okay, they don't occupy a lot of space, they can squeeze anywhere, but Shen Lan can't, although they don't need many places to place items, but they need a distance to place pots, so they can only set up stalls in remote places.

In this way, either the two families are separated, or Shen Xiaoquan has to accompany his daughter to set up a stall in a remote place, because he is not worried that Shen Lan is alone, so Shen Xiaoquan and his wife parked the ox cart at the end of the street, and then helped Shen Lan set up the stall, and he also unloaded the ox cart, tied the cattle to the side of the tree, and began to sell things.

Because the location is not very good, there are not many pedestrians coming and going, and Shen Lan's stall is also very strange, so she drew a white line on the ground, and then placed a bamboo tube three meters away, and Shen Lan stood there stupidly with a bamboo arrow in her hand, and she didn't know how to shout.

And Shen Xiaoquan's business is not very good, but they care more about Shen Lan's business than their own business, so when they saw that no one was patronizing, Shen Zhao was anxious, and walked to Shen Lan's side and said hurriedly: "Lan Niang, why don't anyone come to play with your pitcher?" ”

In fact, Shen Lan was also a little anxious, she also saw that few people came here, there was an endless stream of people in front, and there was a lively scene of busy traffic, which made her greedy, but there was no big open space in front of her to set up a stall.

"Maybe there are fewer people." Shen Lan replied.

"Why don't we shout?" Shen Zhao came up with an idea.

Shen Lan was stunned, there were not a lot of shouts in the market, but she seemed to be a little unable to let go, and then saw Shen Zhao's eagerness, so she could only nod stubbornly.

"Pitcher. Fun pot throwing game, as long as a penny can be played, play well can also win the lottery, the first prize two blue and white porcelain vases, the second prize has jars and porcelain dolls, the third prize has puppets and clay dolls, and the consolation prize is a bird flute. "Shen Zhao is used to selling bamboo. This shout did not squirm Shen Lan. He opened his throat and shouted.

Chinese people have always been very excited when they heard that they had won the lottery, although this is a dynasty that Shen Lan did not know, but the living habits are still very similar to those in ancient China. So Shen Zhao shouted a few times, and there were many people in front of Shen Lan's stall.

And Shen Lan also shouted together under the leadership of Shen Zhao, and the mother and daughter soon called a lot of people to come.

"What's going on with this pitcher?" Someone suddenly asked.

"Well, go to my daughter's and buy ten arrows. Stand behind the white line and throw it into the bamboo tube in front of you, and then distribute the prizes according to the number of arrows hit. The first prize is a pair of vases, the second prize is more than seven to send a pair of porcelain dolls or a pair of oil and salt filling, the third prize is more than five to give puppets or those animal clay dolls, and more than one consolation prize can only send bird flutes or small clay sculptures. Shen Zhao rushed in front of his daughter and said quickly.

Hearing this, someone was immediately moved. However, I was still very curious about the prize, after all, Shen Lan hadn't put things out yet, so naturally someone shouted at this time.

"What does that vase look like? It's not fooling us, why didn't you see the prize? A young man shouted.

Shen Lan suddenly became embarrassed. She forgot to take out the prize, so she hurriedly went to her father's ox cart to prepare to take down the basket containing the prize, but was immediately stopped by Shen Xiaoquan.

"I'll come, you go and draw a few circles on the ground, and then put all the prizes in it." Shen Xiaoquan said.

Shen Lan nodded after listening, took the lime to draw a few circles, and then wrote the numbers in capital letters on the ground, because she had written checks before, so Shen Lan could still write one to ten in traditional Chinese, and many other Chinese characters could not be written, and some of them didn't even know each other, but Shen Lan planned to pick up the literacy when she had the opportunity, not to mention anything else, at least she could know some documents or read a book and a travelogue No, or how to live in the future.

When Shen Lan wrote, many people were a little incredible, literacy was a very worshiped thing in this era, so usually those who were literate and could write were very respected, because it was not easy to read in this era, and it was even more difficult to know and write words.

"Yo, the little lady can write, it's not easy." The onlookers couldn't help but praise.

And Shen Xiaoquan and Shen Zhao's faces were not very good, after all, their daughter was illiterate, where could she write, but the words written by this woman did not say how beautiful they were, but they were also well-behaved, and they faintly felt that the inappropriate feelings in their hearts came out again.

Shen Lan wrote one to four, and then put different prizes into different circles, and only after doing these did she return to the outside of the white line, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little woman came out to set up a stall for the first time, thanks to everyone's care, whether you hit this pot or not, the little woman will give you a small pendant until it is finished, first come, first served, interested fathers and fellow villagers, you can come to me to buy bamboo arrows to play." ”

After speaking, Shen Lan opened the cloth bag that she was hanging on her shoulder, and took out a small pendant from it, that is, those peppers, gourds, strawberries and peanuts, because the fabric was brightly colored, and it looked very beautiful when it was colorful.

"Okay, bring me ten branches, the little lady can speak, and she is literate and literate, so I'll have a show." Because of the pursuit of scholars, a man immediately walked out of the crowd and said with a grin.

Shen Lan immediately presented ten arrows, and the man also touched a copper plate from his arms to Shen Lan, and then turned around and went to throw the pot, after all, the first time he played, the man didn't touch the door for a while, but he threw three arrows into the pot, Shen Lan led the person to the consolation prize area and let him pick up a small prize, and let him pick up a small pendant made by himself.

The man was not polite, he took a bird flute and a chili pendant and left, there was one and there were two, and soon someone came to play with the pitcher, and Shen Lan was suddenly very busy.

Naturally, some people have been hit, and some people have not, Shen Lan has said in advance, some people with children at home, thinking that they will only have a penny anyway, and it is best to vote, and if they don't win, they can bring a toy back for their children, so many people come to play.

In this way, the end of the street, which was originally not popular, attracted many people to come over because of Shen Lan's stall, and at the same time drove Shen Xiaoquan's business, and Shen Lan collected money and made a profit.

In a few moments, Shen Lan gave away most of the peppers, peanuts, gourds and strawberries in her hands, and finally started the business.

By the time the stall was set up at noon, Shen Lan had already earned almost forty or fifty yuan, most of which were consolation prizes, but someone won the third prize and the second prize, and picked up a pair of oil and salt shakers and a large puppet doll.

As for the first prize, no one has won the championship so far, and Shen Lan has also calculated it, the second prize is six yuan, and the puppet costs less than a penny because it is made by himself, plus more than a dozen bird flutes and small clay sculptures, so he has made a lot of money, and he can't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

Because it was the first time to set up such a stall, it naturally attracted a lot of people to come to play, but there were many people playing, and there were more onlookers, Shen Lan earned more than 100 yuan in just one morning, Shen Lan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, this money was much faster than her planting sorghum, after all, there was no need to spend time to collect sorghum and beat sorghum, and sure enough, doing business is the king of making money.

"Hey, there is such an interesting stall here, the little lady quickly brought the arrow in your hand and played with it." Just when Shen Lan was collecting the money softly, a young man dressed in coarse cloth and short brown walked over with a horsewhip in his hand, and there were several people behind him.

Shen Lan didn't care much, she immediately took the arrow she had just picked up from the ground, and then handed the arrow to the other party, the other party took the arrow and pinched her thumb and index finger holding the arrow, and before Shen Lan could react, she was pulled behind her vigorously.

"What do you want to do, you immoral thing?" Shen Zhao glared at each other with an angry face, and Shen Lan didn't know what was going on at all.

"Haha, interesting, but a lady who is not afraid of people." The other party laughed, not caring about Shen Zhao's angry shouting, and then said: "Little lady, see that the master will give you a ten-ring." ”

Then Shen Lan finally came to her senses, she was taken advantage of, and she was suddenly embarrassed, she was a pregnant woman, okay? This person was blind, and he glanced at the man, Shen Lan pulled Shen Zhao, who wanted to find someone to settle the account, and said: "Mother, forget it, you can't bark the dog twice, let's go and call the dog back." ”

However, after Shen Lan said this, the expression on his face changed, naturally it was not that the person fought back, but at this moment, the person quickly flew out ten arrows, and they all fell steadily into the bamboo tube, which was what made Shen Lan change his face.

"Little lady, did you just say that Uncle Ben is the dog who likes to bark?" After throwing the arrow, the man happened to hear Shen Lan's words to persuade Shen Zhao, and turned his head to look at Shen Lan with a smile, his expression full of scorn.

Shen Lan looked stunned, she actually met a master, it seems that her good luck today is over.

"No, you didn't give money, you stinky little one, get out of here." Before Shen Lan could react, Shen Zhao shouted angrily.

Shen Lan took a breath, hurriedly grabbed Shen Zhao, and said in a low voice, "Mother, you will drive away other guests like this." ”

Shen Zhao was stunned, she was just angry with this wild boy who came out of nowhere, and she lost her normal mood for a while, and was reminded by Shen Lanyi at this moment, and immediately looked around.

"This big brother, please come here and pick the prize." Shen Lan took the opportunity to face that humane, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather generous, which made the people who were originally going to watch the play lose interest. (To be continued) R640
