Chapter 16: Red Eyes

Lin Xiao looked at Lichun with a black line on his face, Lichun's appearance, it was obvious that she was the one who wanted to eat, right! Lin Xiaoman's head, which wanted to shake his head, was stiffly broken into a nod.

Seeing the little sister nodding, Lichun hurriedly said to the old man, "Uncle, how many pieces of candy are there?" ”

The old man replied: "Two pennies a piece, it's very sweet!" ”

When Lichun heard this, he hesitated, and he was ruthless, and he wanted to take money out of his pocket. Lin Xiaoman grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, let's go buy rice and noodles first!" It's not good if you don't have enough money when you don't get it. If there is extra money, we will buy it again. ”

Lichun's originally excited mood was suddenly calmed down by Lin Xiaoman's words, right! Although I got a lot of money this time, I don't know if I have it in the future, so it's better not to spend it indiscriminately.

Looking at the fragrant red fruit, Lichun swallowed his saliva hard, turned his head with difficulty, and said to Lin Xiaoman: "The little sister is really sensible, the eldest sister listens to you." Let's go, let's go buy rice noodles! ”

The grain shop was not far from the old man who sold red fruits, and as soon as Lichun took Lin Xiaoman in, he saw that the two Zhao and Liu who were in the same car before were also shopping in the grain shop.

This grain shop not only has rice and grains, but also sugar and salt. And Zhao and Liu were bargaining with the shopkeeper with a bag of salt, and the shopkeeper was impatient, and happened to see the Lichun sisters come in.

Hurriedly pretended to welcome the guests and threw the two annoying women away. It was only when the shopkeeper looked at it that he realized that it were two children. Suddenly felt that today was really too lucky, and in the morning for the bag of salt, the two women quarreled with him for a long time without saying anything, causing him to run away from several businesses.

Now I think there are customers again, but I don't want to be two children. Suddenly a little lazy said: "Go, go, what kind of mess are the children coming to make trouble!" ”

Lichun asked weakly: "Shopkeeper, we are not here to make trouble, we want to buy some miscellaneous grains, rice and noodles." Don't know where the cheapest one is here? ”

The shopkeeper's lazy expression suddenly froze, but he was not in business, and his face immediately improved and said, "Does the little girl want cheap rice noodles?" It just so happens that I have a little bit on my side, you can take a look. It was a good rice, but it was soaked in water on the ship when it arrived. But it definitely does not affect the food, only 20 yuan a liter. ”

Speaking of this rice, the shopkeeper's heart is about to twitch! He hired someone to bring the rice from the river, but the boat leaked in for some reason.

He didn't look closely at the time, and only found out when the guy helped him transport it into the warehouse. So he hurriedly spread out the bag of rice and dried it, took it out, and tried to sell it first. It won't be long before the soaked rice will become moldy. Now if you can sell a little, you will lose a little less.

Lin Xiaoman glanced at the bag of rice placed in the corner, stepped forward and reached out to pinch it, and it was really a little damp. I don't know what this kind of rice has been soaked in, she said softly: "Sister, this rice is so damp, will it be heavy if you buy too much?" And it seems to be bigger than the usual rice! ”

Lichun, who was originally said to have been moved, suddenly reacted. But no, this rice has been blistered, but it must be much heavier? Even if it's a few pennies cheaper, you can weigh it, it's not cost-effective!

Lichun said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, we just need some cheap rice noodles, these don't need it!" ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the cooked duck was about to fly, he said in a loud voice: "Hey, little girl, I can still give you a cheaper, how about Eighteen Wen?" Seeing that Lichun was still shaking his head, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fifteen Wen, little girl, I really sold it at a loss!" ”

Over there, the Zhao family and the Liu family saw it when they walked into the store in Lichun. It's just that they don't look down on what the two sisters can buy. But now when I heard the shopkeeper talking to Lichun, I pricked up my ears and listened there.

When Zhao heard that the shopkeeper of the rice shop actually sold the rice to the two sisters, he still held it, and the two of them squeezed it up and said: "Hey, I said the shopkeeper, you are really not honest, there is cheap rice to sell, why don't you tell us a liter." Then when he saw the bag of rice in the corner, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "We want these rice, right, Aunt Liu?" After speaking, he glanced at Liu.

Seeing Zhao's eyes, the Liu family immediately nodded. The shopkeeper was originally unhappy that the business was going to run away, but he didn't want to, so he hurriedly asked happily: "Did you hear what I said to these two little girls?" ”

The Zhao family was afraid that the shopkeeper would give a part of the rice to the two Lichun sisters, so he hurriedly interrupted: "I said the shopkeeper, we came here early in the morning, and we know the things here very well." Now, we want this rice! If you sell it to someone else, wouldn't it be appropriate? ”

When Lichun heard this, he wanted to step forward to say a few words, but he didn't want the little sister's hand to hold her hand and squeeze it gently.

She looked back at her little sister suspiciously, Lin Xiaoman smiled at her slightly, and then pointed to a bag of broken rice by the door that was a little yellowish and said, "Sister, I want to eat that!" ”

Lichun saw that it was some broken rice, or old broken rice. These rice will definitely not be wanted by good families, but for poor families like them, it doesn't matter.

"Shopkeeper, how much is a liter of this broken rice?" Lichun asked grumblingly.

The shopkeeper thought that he had just disposed of the rice, so he generously said, "These broken rice are also fifteen cents a liter!" Then he beckoned the guy to pack up the rice that the Zhao family and the others bought.

Zhao and Liu glanced at the old broken rice, and smiled at each other, the rice just now was snow-white and whole, only fifteen yuan, and the old broken rice bought by the Lichun sisters also cost fifteen yuan, children are children, and they don't know how to run a family.

Lichun asked the guy in the store to fill five liters of rice, and then carefully put it in the back basket, there was still money hidden underneath! Then he pulled out a small bag from his bosom, and counted seventy-five coins from one copper plate to another.

The two sisters didn't pay attention to the Zhao and Liu families who were happy over there, and went out of the store directly. The Zhao family and the Liu family were bored, snorted in their noses, and each carried their things to the place where Pan Da Niu parked the ox cart.

Lichun waited for the long way to go, and then couldn't help but ask: "Little sister, we actually buy that rice and eat it now, as long as it is eaten in a few days, it will not be bad." Why did you just pull me not to buy it? ”
