Chapter 22: Robbed Business
After a while, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed, but Shen Qingqing didn't want to care about this, the purple and green on Xiaodouding's body looked very distressing, there were no herbs in the house, this pharmacy should be a few miles away, and it would be too late to pass at night.
Shen Qingqing could only boil a large basin of hot water and bathe Xiaodouding.
When rubbing Xiaodouding's body, Shen Qingqing's tears almost fell: "Haohao, is the injury on this body very painful?" ”
Xiao Douding's eyes were full of tears, and he quickly wiped the tears away with his little hands: "Mother, it doesn't hurt, Haohao doesn't feel pain." ”
Shen Qingqing's heart was sour, and she touched Xiao Douding's head: "It's all because my mother didn't protect you, I'm sorry." ”
Xiao Douding shook his head vigorously, comforting his mother.
Today's moon seems to be particularly round, hanging in the Tianshan Mountains as if it is a jade plate, without the previous coldness, gentle and bright sprinkled all over the world.
Lin Zhong had just come down from the mountain and was about to go home in the moonlight, when he heard the women in the village talking: "Don't mention it, this matter is also something that Mrs. Liu did wrong, even if you steal something, you can't beat the child." ”
"That's right, then Shen Hao is so small, no wonder Shen Qingqing won't take things lightly?"
"Shen Hao? Shen Qingqing? Hearing these two names, Lin Zhong's attention couldn't help but be attracted away, and he hurriedly asked. Auntie, what happened today? ”
"Yo, Lin Zhong just came back from the mountain and don't know yet......"
This woman is the most talkative, and she recounted what had happened today.
When Lin Zhong heard this, he felt bad in his heart, so he took the prey and hurried home.
It's a hot day, and it doesn't matter if the bath water is cold, Shen Qingqing just wanted to give Xiaodouding a few more words, when he heard a knock on the door.
Through the fence, I saw a sturdy figure standing outside, holding something in his hand.
Xiao Douding is a half-sized child, it doesn't hurt to be seen, Shen Qingqing opened the door without any cover: "In the forest? What are you doing here? ”
Lin Zhong's hunting clothes hadn't come to change yet, and he looked at Xiao Douding, who was bathing in the yard: "I heard that Haohao was bullied today?" ”
"You're also here to see the fun?" Shen Qingqing felt a little funny, this guy didn't look like this kind of person.
Lin Zhong hurriedly shook his head and took the Chinese herbs in his hand: "I thought that Haohao was injured, but the medical hall is far away, you must not have time to get the medicine, this is the herb I picked in the mountain, the effect is very good, you boiled it and let Haohao eat it." ”
"This ......" Shen Qingqing looked at Lin Zhongjun's dark and honest face, and then looked at the herbs in his hand, not knowing what to do.
Lin Zhong scratched his head: "You just take it, no one will say it." ”
As he spoke, he took the Chinese herb in his hand and turned around and left.
Shen Qingqing reacted and shouted, "In the forest? ”
Lin Zhong turned around, and Shen Qingqing didn't know what to say when the words came to his mouth, so he could only say, "Thank you." ”
Lin Zhong touched his forehead, as if it was time to nod woodenly, and left with a mum sound, his back was as strong as a hill.
Xiao Douding had already come out of the bathtub, and he was very well-behaved and dressed: "Mother, is it Uncle Linzhong?" ”
"Yes, it's Uncle Linaka." Shen Qingqing didn't know why it was natural to call his name.
After tossing for a day, Xiaodouding was almost hungry, and after changing so much money today, Shen Qingqing stewed the chicken he bought from the bazaar, and after eating, he let Xiaodouding eat the herbs, and finally Shen Qingqing drank a lot of spiritual spring water.
The child's mind wandered, coming and going quickly, under Shen Qingqing's comfort, it would be fine after a while, lying on Shen Qingqing's lap and guarding: "Mother, did Haohao do something wrong in this matter today?" ”
Shen Qingqing half sat on the bed, the fan in his hand swayed, fanning the wind, the window was not closed, the moonlight mixed with the cool breeze blew into the room, and the picture was very warm.
"Of course not." Shen Qingqing's tone was extremely gentle. "Haohao is doing the right thing, my mother is proud of you."
"Good ......"
Looking down, Xiao Douding was already asleep in a daze.
Shen Qingqing looked at the moonlight outside, and always felt as if something was going to happen.
As it turned out, her sixth sense was right.
The next day, Xiao Douding got up late because of his injury, and Shen Qingqing pondered that he still needed to go to the mountains to pick chestnuts in exchange for some silver taels.
Get ready, carry the back basket, Shen Qingqing took Xiao Douding and just went out and found that many villagers came down from the mountain, all with back baskets, and there were still things in them.
Shen Qingqing felt bad, and pulled Xiaodouding to walk quickly to the mountain, only to see that a lot of people had gathered under the chestnut tree, both men and women, and some people were carrying ladders, and young men were climbing on it, beating chestnuts.
The woman below shouted, "Go to that side, there are many chestnuts in that patch." ”
Someone saw Shen Qingqing coming, but they were a little embarrassed and greeted: "Qingqing is here." ”
Shen Qingqing was dumbfounded, and after a while, the chestnut tree was bare, and there was not a single chestnut left.
The villagers got the chestnuts and left one after another, leaving only the fallen chestnut leaves all over the ground for Shen Qingqing.
"Mother, how can this be?" Little Douding's little face wrinkled.
Shen Qingqing sat on the ground, but he didn't feel so sad, in fact, these things can be expected, after yesterday's trouble, the villagers must have known that this chestnut is something that can be exchanged for money.
It is understandable that people die for money and birds die for food, but I didn't expect these villagers to move so quickly.
Shen Qingqing also thought about it, and stood up: "Haohao, is it okay for my mother to take you to the market today?" ”
It's useless to just guess, so it's better to go to the bazaar and see what is going on.
Xiao Douding didn't know what this meant, and hurriedly cheered: "Okay...... You can go play with your mother. ”
Today is the day of the market, there are a lot of pedestrians on the market, just entered the market, Shen Qingqing heard a shout: "Sell chestnuts, buy fresh chestnuts quickly." ”
Yo, isn't this an acquaintance in the village?
Shen Qingqing took Xiao Douding's hand and walked towards the market, where there were people selling chestnuts every short distance, but there were very few customers in each vendor.
Well, in that case, the chestnut business can't be done.
Shen Qingqing bought a rock sugar gourd for Xiao Douding, thinking in his heart what kind of livelihood he could exchange for money.
Xiao Douding took the rock sugar gourd and ate it sweetly, and said in his mouth: "Mother, this rock sugar gourd is delicious, so sweet." ”
"Sweet?" Shen Qingqing was overjoyed. "There are indeed many people selling this chestnut, but this glutinous rice balls are not sold, right?"
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing took Xiaodouding and bought a few catties of white sugar and went home, thinking that today is a market, and if he goes home early, maybe he can catch an afternoon market, if he sells it again tomorrow, there will be a lot fewer people.
Back home, Shen Qingqing made some simple rice, and after eating, he began to make glutinous rice dumplings, and a chestnut was placed in each round glutinous rice dumpling.
After a while, a lot of glutinous rice dumplings were made, Shen Qingqing wrapped them in kraft paper, put them neatly in the bucket, and put a quilt on them to prevent the heat from running out.
After Mrs. Liu's incident, Xiao Douding was not at ease at home alone, so she took it to the market.
They didn't come late, there were still a lot of people in the market in the afternoon, and Shen Qingqing found a stall and started doing business.
Few people have eaten this glutinous rice dumpling, and at first the business was not good, as if no one cared about it for a while, and finally a woman led two children to stop.
"What are you selling?" The woman asked.
Shen Qingqing had a smile on her face: "This is glutinous rice dumplings, they are very delicious." ”
As she spoke, she took out a glutinous rice dumpling and handed it to the children, one of whom tasted it and nodded: "Mother, it's delicious." ”
Children are greedy, and when they say this, another child also begins to shout: "Mother, I want it too." ”
These two children are very cute and have a very loud voice, which immediately attracts the attention of passers-by.
This is an opportunity for free advertising.
"This is glutinous rice dumplings, very delicious, three pennies a piece." Shen Qingqing said and took another glutinous rice dumpling and handed it to the child.
Xiao Douding also followed her example and shouted: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
The milky sound in the milk is very likable, and the glutinous rice dumplings are very delicious, and the business will be hot after a while.
Two hours later, the glutinous rice dumplings were sold out.
Shen Qingqing counted the copper plates, and saw that the little bean on the side suddenly had an idea: "Haohao, how many copper plates do you see this?" ”
Shen Qingqing held four copper plates in his hand for Xiao Douding to look at.
Xiao Douding knocked on his head, and it took a long time to stretch out his finger and slowly count: "It's four!" ”
"That's right!" Shen Qingqing nodded and took out three more copper plates. "And how many are they?"
"Hmm......" Little Douding thought for a moment. Three. ”
This kid's brain is very smart, and he can learn it with a little guidance.
