Because he thought about the barbecue, Sun Chen spent the whole night tossing and turning, and he didn't get up early the next day.

Although it could not be implemented until April or May at the earliest, he always felt that everything should be prepared in advance, so after getting up, he went to the spice shop in the town after dinner.

After searching for a long time, he almost searched through the spice shop, but he didn't find the most important cumin, and his mood that had been high since last night instantly dropped.

"Alas, how could it not be, could it be that this time cumin has not been passed on?" Walking down the street with his head down, Sun Chen muttered again. "Forget it, let's talk about it then, I really can't find it and there's no way."

Shaking off his annoying thoughts, he remembered that there were still a few things to buy for the Chinese New Year, so he simply wandered the streets by himself.

A few people want to wear new clothes for the New Year, Erniu has already done it, the quilts are all new, and the shoes are also available, it seems to be quite complete, Sun Chen simply sold a pink scarf embroidered with roses to Erniu, and bought a rabbit skin hat for the master Yang Shuping, the soft and thick rabbit fur is all inside, and the outside is wrapped in a layer of dark gray cloth.

As for himself, he chose a wool shoulder. The padded jacket made by the second girl is too thick, he sometimes has to sweat a lot when he is active, and he feels too cold after taking it off for a while.

A few things cost Sun Chen almost a tael of silver, but he didn't think it was too expensive, after all, the workmanship and materials were very good.

The Spring Festival couplets and window flowers to be pasted for the New Year, the family has not yet prepared, just heard the people on the street say that there are people in the market at the door of the stall to sell, Sun Chen went there with the flow of people.

When he arrived at the place, Sun Chen finally squeezed in, and saw a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a crimson cotton coat, sitting there with her head bowed.

She held a pair of scissors in her right hand, and held the red paper in the other hand, her wrist flew, and after a while, she cut out one, and when she opened it, a lifelike fish leaping dragon gate appeared in front of everyone.

Then she took out another piece of red paper, flipped through it a few times, and began to put down the scissors. It's still a speed that people can't see clearly, and after a while, a pair of financial resources are successfully cut out. The house is full of gold and jade, the magpie is plum, the wind and rain are smooth, Fu Lu is happy, and every time she cuts out a different pattern.

From time to time, the people around her gave bursts of appreciation, but as if she hadn't heard it, she lowered her head and continued to cut one window grille after another.

"Hey, how do you sell these window grilles?" Someone came back to her senses and asked her, how festive it is to buy such a beautiful window flower and stick it at home when you buy it for the New Year!

"One piece for six cents, two pieces for ten cents." The middle-aged woman who had been standing next to her said. "Our paper-cutting, but no one can imitate it." The woman's eyes were raised, her lips were thin, slightly protruding, and her voice was high-pitched.

"Ho, so expensive? The day before yesterday, someone came to sell it, and it only cost four cents a piece! Someone stammered. Although it is said that the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years, many people can still only eat and wear, and they will feel distressed for a long time if they spend an extra penny.

"Then it doesn't matter, you can wait for the person who sold the four cents to come and buy it~" The woman said indifferently, "The price is clearly marked, you and I are willing." ”

There is no intention of selling at a reduced price.

"I'll cut some smaller patterns later, and those will only sell for three cents a piece, and two for five cents." The girl who was busy with her head lowered suddenly raised her head, and her gentle and gentle voice made everyone feel like a spring breeze.

The most amazing thing is her appearance, willow eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a towering nose bridge, Ren is Sun Chen has seen countless beauties in modern society, and he has to admit that she is not a loss of color compared to any of them.

"I didn't expect such a beauty to come out of the mountain house~" Sun Chen sighed in his heart. Although the crimson clothes worn by the paper-cut beauty were not patched, they were also washed and faded a little, and the woman was slightly better dressed, but it was just ordinary cotton, which showed that life could only reach a well-off life.

"Then we'll wait, it's not bad to buy a few small ones to go back~" Originally, some people were too expensive to leave, but after the words of the paper-cut beauty, many people stayed.

"Stinky girl, no matter how big or small, you have to move so many scissors, it's easier for you to cut it bigger, and I can sell it for more money!" The woman could not rebuke her loudly, but could only mumble quietly. Anyone who got close could see her face that was worse than rotten eggs.

Because Sun Chen was usually used to capturing the sound he wanted to hear in a noisy environment, he was not far away, and she could hear the woman's complaints clearly.

The paper-cut beauty bowed her head and was silent, just when Sun Chen thought that this was a stuffy gourd or a bun, and she had to let the woman ramble, a clear and transparent voice sounded, "If you want to sell it for more money, you can do it yourself, what is it to just shrink and hide there and wait stupidly?" ”

"Stinky girl! You know I ......" The woman was so anxious that she was about to say something when her next words were gagged, "What are you?" My dad said I'd let me cut the window with you and sell it, but he didn't say that you don't have to work and just stand here! If you don't know how to cut window grilles, you will always cut paper, right? ”

The paper-cut beauty kept in her hands, but the words that came out of her mouth were like a knife, and the knife was bloody, and the woman's face was red. But she didn't dare to say anything else, as if she was afraid that she would be stabbed by the paper-cut beauty again, she picked up a large piece of red paper that had not been cut, folded it and cut it into the same size with scissors.

"It's really not wrong to say that you're useless, you look at the paper you cut, whether it's big or small, let's sell it for a few pennies a piece?"

The woman's face turned red, as if she was about to have a seizure, but looking at the paper she had cut, she felt that she was not confident enough and had no words.

"In this case, sell it for four cents a piece! Alas, if it is cut a little bigger, it can be sold for six cents a piece, what a waste~"

Sun Chen covered his mouth and snickered in his heart, since he came here, it was the first time he had seen such an interesting person, and he couldn't help but stand there and look lively.

Finally, a small stack of paper-cuts for three cents a piece was done, and many people hurriedly paid for it, for fear that they would not be able to grab it.

The woman stepped forward to hand over the paper-cut to collect the money, and she was in a hurry, wanting to beckon the paper-cut beauty for help, but seeing that she was still cutting the window grille as if she was all right, she didn't dare to open her mouth to call her.

Sun Chen saw her actions in his eyes, and he was almost certain that if she opened her mouth to ask the paper-cut beauty for help, she would be so frightened that she would vomit blood and die.

"What do you want?" A shrill voice sounded, making Sun Chen, who was wandering too empty, come back to his senses in an instant. "Ask me?"

"Who do you ask? You've been standing there stupidly for a while, if you don't buy window grilles, hurry up and make room for someone else! Didn't you see that there are still many people waiting to buy it behind, but you can't stop it? ”

What is this? This is pising on herself, isn't she? Right?!

Sun Chen was instantly furious.
