Chapter 53: Shouting
The cold wind was Xiao Xiao, and the whole person of Xia Zhi was wrapped into a ball, shrinking on Tian Laosi's back, this time when he entered the town, the Li family was afraid of another thing, so he asked Tian Laoda to borrow the ox cart of the village chief's family, and the four brothers went on the road together. But before going out, there was one more Tian Xiaoman, Xia Zhi looked at Tian Xiaoman, who was also wrapped in a ball, shrunk his neck, and looked around, remembering the way she begged the third uncle to take her with her with tears in her eyes this morning, and couldn't help but sigh, when will this crazy girl also learn to be a white lotus.
In fact, Xia Zhi didn't know what to do, Tian Xiaoman was envious because every time he saw her enter the town, he returned with a full load, and she couldn't sit still, so she was naturally unwilling to be tied to her home every day. If you want to say that this white lotus shape, Tian Xiaoman still learned from Xia Zhi, because every time she saw Xia Zhi, she was tearful and aggrieved, and Tian Lao Si agreed to her request. So Tian Xiaoman did the same. In Tian Xiaoman's heart, it is right to learn from the sixth sister anyway.
Originally, Xia Zhi planned to do it on the ox cart with Tian Xiaoman, but because the Tian family sold a lot of things this time. Dozens of chickens and ducks, three or four pots of fish will occupy the ox cart, and there is still the land where she and Xiaoman have their feet. What's more, there are ducks that can quack, which really makes the summer solstice unbearable, and the summer solstice still feels that his father's back is more comfortable. Presumably Xiaoman thinks the same way.
This time into the town, in addition to selling chickens, ducks and fish, inquiring about the pigs, the summer solstice also brought their own embroidered screens to wash, as well as the Tian family sisters, ready to send to the embroidery village, and then the Li family explained to buy cotton and cloth, this year the Tian family's situation improved, Li promised to make a set of clothes for everyone, and in this cold winter, cotton clothes are naturally the most important.
Xia Zhi touched the cotton jacket that he had been wearing for I don't know how many years, and then looked at the old cotton jacket worn by several people, and sighed that it was not long in early winter, and such a cotton jacket could not block much cold wind at all. Before going out, Zheng and Liu were afraid that she and Xiaoman would freeze, so they dragged their own padded jackets off and put them on both of them.
But for the four brothers of the Tian family, it is not so comfortable, it is okay when there is no wind, at most it is a little colder, and it is hot when you walk, but when the wind blows, the whole body is cold. Xia Zhi looked at his father and several uncles' hands that had already developed frostbite before the snow, and felt distressed. It was only early winter, and almost all of the Tian family, including the elderly and children, had chilblains, even the summer solstice himself did not escape.
Xia Zhijue not only should make a set of cotton clothes for everyone in the family, but also the quilt at home should be renewed, and the quilt has not known how many years it has been covered, and the cotton wool inside has become a thin piece.
A few small ones had to be crowded on the kang in the hall, but the four daughters-in-law and son of the Tian family had no other way but to carry it. Xia Zhi touched the ten taels of silver in his arms, and decided to buy more cloth and cotton, at least a bed with a new quilt, otherwise this winter will be long, but how can I bear it. It's just that this freshly covered silver is afraid that it will fly again!
The Tian family set off early today, almost five watches out of the door, just to catch up with the morning market in Niangniang Town, there is no way to catch the market in the morning, and there is no one in the afternoon, so the small vendors have to get up early to set up stalls, and the Tian family is naturally like this.
Even if they set off early and arrived early on the summer solstice, when they arrived at the center of the town, the stalls in Haolu had already been occupied, and they had to choose a place around the corner and pay the stall fee on the summer solstice, so that they could settle down.
Xia Zhi sat on the little horse brought by his father, watching the people in the market come and go, but no one opened his mouth to solicit guests, they all made on the small stools brought by their own families, waiting for the guests to come to the door. Even some guests came to the door and did not move. Only when the guest sees the good thing, asks the price, and intends to buy it, the person will enthusiastically take the thing or weigh the thing.
"Daddy, why is no one shouting?" Xia Zhijue couldn't understand, didn't this little trader all solicit business by shouting, why did everyone sit there one by one and didn't move, even Xia Zhi's father didn't move.
"What are you yelling about?" Tian Laosi didn't understand what to shout about.
"Oops! It's just shouting, let everyone come to us to buy something! "Xia Zhi doesn't understand Tian Laosi, he is very anxious, he wants to sell out these chickens and ducks, when will he have to wait!
"No, someone wants to buy it, so they will come back naturally, girl, let's do this rest!"
"Daddy, no one will never shout!" At this time, the summer solstice was a little suddenly realized, could it be that no one here has ever shouted to buy things, waiting for others to come to buy them one by one.
"What are you shouting, someone here is buying, and they will naturally come to the door, everyone just needs to wait!"
At this time, Xia Zhi just wanted to pat his head, and in this strange ancient time, there were no people even shouting and selling things.
"Sixth sister, sixth sister, what is shouting, what is shouting, I will help! I'm here to help! Tian Xiaoman, who came for the first time, felt that everything was fresh, and he was even more interested in the shouting that just came out of Xia Zhi's mouth.
Xia Zhi lowered his head and muttered to himself, there was no shouting and selling things in ancient times, this is not just cheaper for yourself, let's be the first person there, but it is estimated that Daddy They are afraid that they will not be able to shout, but they are not afraid, there is just a Tian Xiaoman who is not afraid of heaven and earth, it is estimated that it should not be difficult for her, Xia Zhi glanced at Tian Xiaoman, who was full of interest beside him, and made up his mind. Xia Zhi pulled Tian Xiaoman aside, bowed his head and muttered to her, but after a while, he saw Tian Xiaoman like a charging warrior, and stood in front of the Tian family's stall, "Uncles, uncles and brothers, aunts and sisters, come and see, the chickens and ducks raised by yourself are fat and big, as long as you have sixty yuan each, you will definitely not suffer!" Come and see, come and see! Tian Xiaoman's sound was like a thunder on the ground, exploding over the not-so-quiet town center. attracted the entire street to look at them on the summer solstice, which embarrassed the four brothers of the Tian family, they didn't expect Tian Xiaoman to come like this suddenly, Tian Laosan directly covered Tian Xiaoman's neck, listened to Tian Xiaoman's 'woo' voice, and smiled apologetically to everyone. "Uncles, uncles, brothers, aunts, aunts and sisters, my chickens and ducks are fat and big, as long as they cost sixty yuan, they will definitely not suffer a loss if they buy it, come and take a look, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it!" Xia Zhi saw that everyone was looking at them, and felt that this was an opportunity, and when Tian Xiaoman was covered in mouth, he suddenly jumped out and shouted. Tian Laosi saw that Xia Zhi also ran out of the city, so he quickly dragged her back and didn't allow her to shout again. The people on the street saw that there was no excitement to see, so they continued to do their own thing, but there was a person who was specially for buying livestock, and walked to Tian Laosi's stall.
