Chapter 44: Spontaneers
Sun Chen didn't screw the second girl in the end, and was driven to rest by her.
The second girl squatted by the well, carefully washed the sweet potatoes, and finally hung them on a wooden plank, waiting for the water to drain and put them up.
"Brother, how many days do we have enough sweet potatoes at home?"
"It's been a hundred pounds, we ate some more, and the family can still use it for six days!"
It has to be said that only one hundred catties of sweet potatoes are used every day to last for six days.
"Yanzi's family has more than 2,000 catties, I'll go to her house tomorrow and tell Aunt Zhuzi, can we buy her sweet potatoes?"
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, you just tell Aunt Zhuzi, let's give her a pound of copper plate to give money~"
"Hehe, I think so too~"
……
Sun Chen sold roasted sweet potatoes in the market.
He found that there were not many roasted sweet potatoes in the morning, but there were still many in the afternoon, so he slowly moved the time back, so that he could get up early and rush from his home to the market after breakfast every day.
Erniu waited for Sun Chen to leave every day, and then locked the door to Yanzi's house. I made gloves with Aunt Zhu and them all morning, and then occasionally went home for lunch there. In the afternoon, Fennel would come, and they were in the second girl's house, also making gloves.
Unconsciously, more than 2,000 pairs of gloves have been accumulated, because the cost is so small, and if the gloves don't find a home, there should be no money to buy raw materials.
I really dozed off and sent a pillow, and as soon as Sun Chen came back from the town that day, he heard the children in the village shouting, "Merchant Yang is here!" ”
This was the first time Sun Chen had met the merchant Yang himself.
Originally, when the family was not separated, Sun Chen did not have a copper plate on his body, and he did not have time to play, so he naturally couldn't deal with him. After the separation, Sun Chen was busy every day, and the merchant Yang occasionally appeared in Linjia Village a few times, and he also passed by him.
When Sun Chen walked over, the merchant Yang was selling goods under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. There were a bunch of people around him who were picking and choosing, and occasionally someone asked him something, and he answered with a smile. Someone picked something and walked up to him to settle the bill, and he said a number with the same smile and waited.
Someone took the money quickly, but someone wanted to reason with him, Sun Chen guessed that the person was bargaining, his expression remained the same, he said something with a smile, and then turned around and picked up a small thing from his stall and stuffed it into the other party's hand, the person was obviously very happy to be flattered, and happily took out the money and handed it to him.
This is a person who is very good at dealing with people.
When the shopping was almost gone, a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law surrounded him, all of whom were holding small packages in their hands, obviously all of them were people who did manual work for him like Erniu Fennel.
Sun Chen also saw her grandmother Sun Yang inside, she relied on her age, others were embarrassed to say that she was old, squeezed to the front, and was the first to hand the things in her hand to the merchant Yang.
The merchant Yang obviously didn't know her, and Sun Chen looked at her mouth as if he was saying the name of fennel, and the merchant Yang suddenly realized.
Spreading out the package, the merchant Yang took out a four-sided handkerchief one by one and looked at it carefully, nodding his head while watching, obviously very satisfied with the work. Sun Chen knew that this time the job was to lock the handkerchief with even lace, and with fennel's needlework, he could naturally pass the test.
At the end, after counting the number of handkerchiefs, the merchant Yang gave the payment to Sun Yang, and Sun Yang said something again, and the merchant Yang turned around and took out a stack of square pieces of cloth from his large box and handed it to her.
When Sun Yang's family walked away, Sun Chen moved from the corner to the big locust tree, not because he was afraid that she would deliberately avoid her, but Sun Chen was really tired of listening to her casual words, and he could listen to one less sentence.
The merchant Yang has not finished inspecting the goods, but the children who have been moving around a little can't sit still, and they all shout for him to take out the candy toys first and let them see them first.
"Hehe, I'm not going to fall for you, when I take it out, you still have to pounce? How else can I inspect the goods with peace of mind? Don't worry, just wait, if you don't make trouble, I'll be fine soon. ”
Merchant Yang reassured unhurriedly.
There was a woman who brought a different number of handkerchiefs than the last time she took the job, and the merchant Yang counted it again, and asked her to count it herself, and then deducted the amount of capital she was missing. The woman's face was very ugly, and she reasoned with him, and the merchant Yang lost his smile, "I said, how much I took from me, I remember, and you yourself also remember, if you give me so many less tickets, I can only deduct your money, be careful in the future!" ”
"Everyone knows that this batch of goods is not mine, I just earn an intermediate fee, and I also have to compensate the master's family if you have less here. It's not easy for everyone, let's take care of each other! ”
Except for the woman just now, everyone nodded in agreement.
The bear children finally waited for the merchant Yang to open the other box, and they all flew over as he had just said.
Every time the merchant Yang took out a thing, it would cause them to cheer, spinning tops, empty bamboos, rattles, small wooden horses, and beautifully carved wooden swords, and Sun Chen even saw a tangram from it.
Rice candy, sorghum syrup, kraft candy, dried fish, snacks are just a few, but the children are still so hungry that they can't move.
There are children who have a few copper plates in their hands, and at this time they raise their eyebrows, and their eyes sweep over the toys and snacks from time to time, as if they are hesitating what to buy. The friends around him drooled to help him come up with ideas, nothing more than to get a piece of the pie, and his vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment.
The most majestic is the tiger gang. During this time, he took a few friends to help Sun Chen cut pigweed every day, and everyone had a large deposit in the past ten days, which could be regarded as a little tyrant, and he bought some toys and snacks, which attracted a burst of envy.
Hey, there was no trace of the king of snacks - spicy skin, after Sun Chen made this discovery, his eyes lit up instantly. However, thinking of the people here who are respectful of chili peppers, he still rests his mind in the end, he is greedy and chews more, as long as he does what he has done so far.
The merchant Yang also noticed him at this time, "Do you want to buy something?" ”
Although there are very few male customers, there are still some who want to buy tobacco and the like, but they don't look like the teenager in front of them.
"I have a business I want to talk to you about, can you go to my house when you're done?" Sun Chen went straight to the point and said what he meant.
"Business?" A hairy boy offered to do business with him, but the merchant Yang did not disdain or disdain, only a little curious, he asked with a smile, "Where are you?" What do you want to do with me? ”
"Uh," Sun Chen, who was obviously treated as a child by the other party, was stunned for a moment, "My father's name is Sun Zhou." ”
"Sun Zhou? Those two girls are yours...... Younger sister? Merchant Yang thought of Sun Yang just now, and couldn't help but have a little sympathy in his eyes. With a grandmother like that, life on weekdays will not be much better.
"Well, so is fennel." Sun Chen generously admitted.
