Chapter 12 Rush to the Market

Feng Ping'an did the work of two people alone, without saying a word, and the speed was about the same as that of ordinary people.

Where is Yunzhu's heart to be virtuous, and besides, she still has to earn two dollars to make ends meet. Ping An knew Yunzhu's concerns, and he was not good at words, so he went to talk to Liu Xiucai in person. Yunzhu got a fairly easy job, helping weeding in the Liu family's vegetable field.

worked in Liu's house for three days and earned 25 yuan. If she has something to do every day, she can earn a little bit, but all she is looking for is some odd jobs. Besides, there are not many people in the village, and she can't do it because she is too tired and too hard.

Yunzhu thought, I have to find something to do for a long time, otherwise such a hammer in the east and a stick in the west will be able to save money in my lifetime.

This day coincided with the Qingtang gathering, and Yunzhu and Xiangmei made an appointment to go to the market. Yunzhu took some money and planned to go to the street to buy some daily necessities, but oil, salt, sauce and vinegar cost her more than 30 yuan.

Xiangmei went to sell needlework, and in the past few months, she has also saved some needlework. The two of them went to the embroidery village. Xiangmei took out what she had made from a piece of coarse green cloth. Five pairs of insoles, two toe heads, four embroidered purses, and a pair of embroidered pillows. Yunzhu raised his eyes to see, there are Fangsheng patterns, vase flower patterns, magpie climbing branches, and flowing water falling flower patterns. It's very bright, and the color scheme is not very cheesy. The stitches are also neatly packed, which is very neat and generous.

When Xiangmei and the owner of the embroidery village discussed the price, Yunzhu went to see the other goods on the shelf, including fresh and elegant embroidered screens and red and purple embroidered curtains. Embroidered quilt surface with clusters of flowers. However, her eyes were drawn to an embroidered portrait of a lady hanging on the wall. The character story is Chang'e running to the moon, and Chang'e in the portrait has fluttering clothes, which is really a bit fairy. When you look closely, it is not difficult to find that both the folds of the clothes and the strands of hair are lifelike. It's like a vivid brushwork. Yun Zhu sighed a few times in his heart.

Xiangmei's things are good, and the boss is quite happy to give the price. A few things were bought for a total of seven cents and four cents of silver. Xiangmei wrapped several large strings of copper coins tightly in the green onion-colored coarse cloth just now, and then hugged them tightly in her arms, turned back to Yunzhu and said, "Sister Song, let's go." ”

"I didn't know that Meizi's hands were so skillful, and the things she made were so beautiful."

Xiangmei was very modest: "It's just a matter of doing a few injections to pass the time when it's okay, and it took more than two months to make this little thing." I sold it when I got it together. Sister Song can also make some to sell if she is fine, the boss and I are quite familiar, I will ask him to give you a good price. ”

Yun Zhu smiled and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, the needlework I made can be used for my own use, but I don't have the confidence to sell it." The boss will laugh. ”

The two said while walking, after a long walk, Xiangmei was a little hungry, and there happened to be a stall selling snacks not far in front, so they mentioned that they wanted to go up and eat something before going back.

Yunzhu was worried about the daughter at home, and didn't want to go, so she said: "It's still not good, I've been out for a long time, I'm afraid of Tian Tian and others." ”

Xiangmei knew that she was reluctant to give up her daughter, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll go up and see if there's anything to eat with me." ”

Xiangmei and Yunzhu went to the food stall together and bought a few steaming spiced pork buns, Yunzhu thought of her daughter and spent a few dollars to buy two pies.

The stall was set up by a couple in their twenties, also with a daughter. The daughter looked two or three years older than Tian Tian, and she was also tall. It's just that the husband and wife are busy taking care of business and don't care about her. Therefore, that girl is hiding everywhere, very naughty.

On the way back, Yunzhu and Xiangmei said, "Meizi, I also want to come out and set up a stall to sell food later." ”

Xiangmei was stunned, busy with me: "Sister Song really plans to do business?" ”

"If you don't do that, where will you get money, and you still have to live, right?" This is what Yunzhu can think of right now.

"But it's not easy to set up a stall, you see just now there are two people who do one person and one person sells, and when there are many people, they are still a little busy. But how can Sister Song do it alone? I'm afraid it won't work, and besides, there is Tian Tian, what are you going to do? ”

This is also Yunzhu's biggest headache, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then let's work together, okay?" ”

"The two of us?"

Yunzhu smiled: "Why not? ”

Xiangmei's head shook like a rattle: "No, I can't cook, and I can't settle accounts, I'm afraid I won't be able to help." ”

When Yunzhu saw Xiangmei like this, she knew that Xiangmei was unwilling, and she didn't want to force her very much. I had to think of another way.

When he got home, Yunzhu took out the pie, and Tian Tian liked it very much. Yunzhu also broke half a piece to eat. It's stuffed with pickles. She took a bite, and the pickle was salty, sour, and a little hard. It seems that the stalk is used with a relatively coarse and old vegetable stem. The taste is so ordinary that it is far from delicious. But you can't blame people for not making their cakes well. Two pennies a cake, and the filling is already good.

But the thought of setting up a stall to do some small business echoed in Yunzhu's heart for a long time. For now, she thinks it's the only way, or she can give it a try. It's just that she can't speak alone, and she always needs two helpers, which has become the biggest obstacle in front of her.

Tian Tian ate very seriously, and at this time, Yunzhu heard Xiangmei calling her outside. She thought. Could it be that Xiangmei discussed with her family that she was going to set up a stall?

When she went out to take a look, Xiangmei stood outside the fence and said with a smile: "Sister Song, the dam will be repaired on the first day of the first month of next month, and my brother recommended you to the village chief and asked you to help cook meals for a few days." ”

Yun Zhu was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Let me help cook?" ”

Xiangmei smiled and nodded: "No, this is a good opportunity." With money, Sister Song can still show her skills. ”

She can still do this job, but why should Ping An help her so much. With Feng Ping'an's dull and wooden personality, it is not like it.

However, Yunzhu still sincerely thanked him, it was not easy to have such an opportunity. She went to the village chief's house again and checked with the village chief.

The village chief didn't treat an outsider like Song Yunzhu very well, and besides, he caused a farce of jumping into the river some time ago. However, since he had promised Feng Ping'an, as the head of a village, it was impossible for him to be untrustworthy, and said quite coldly: "There is such a thing. There were seven or eight strong young men in the village. It could be five or six busy days, and I said I would take care of a meal. Can you get five dollars a day for food? ”

Yunzhu quickly calculated, the five coins of silver are a little tight, but as long as the match is appropriate, it can still be done, and asked more: "Rice and flour oil or something are not counted in it." ”

The village chief said: "I'll take ten catties of rice out, and then give ten catties of flour." ”

Yunzhu was relieved: "Five coins of silver are enough." ”

The village chief saw that Yunzhu didn't ask much, and his prejudice disappeared by two points. He also said that he would still pay her later, but the specific amount was not discussed with Yunzhu.
