Chapter 30: Ups and Downs (I)
Today is the day to start selling the best duck neck, thirty wen a piece, Li Xinrui has no bottom in her heart, and decided to get up early to be fully prepared! Lifting the warm quilt, Li Xinrui was pierced by the cold and drilled back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNo, doing business is to endure hardships, and if you can't bear this little cold, what do you talk about yourself!
Having made up her mind, Li Xinrui lifted the quilt all her strength, and the biting cold hit from all directions like sea water. Enduring the cold, Li Xinrui gently put on her clothes with her feet upside down, she didn't want to make too much noise, so as not to wake up Ying'er, who was still dreaming. Ying'er hasn't had a good life since she hit herself, it's so cold when she gets up early, let her sleep a little longer, I'll do it alone.
Get dressed and gently push the door out, oh...... There are stars in the sky! After a few glances at the room where Ying'er was, it was half dark and translucent, and the little girl was sleeping soundly. Tiptoe open the kitchen door, light the lamp, and you're ready to prepare. I prepared a sealed paper bag before going to bed last night, and I just had to put the duck neck from the pickled jar in the paper bag and seal it.
The wooden table is filled with small plates of various colors, which is Li Xinrui's own idea, and they are filled with brightly colored dressings for customers to add according to their tastes. Anyway, this is an extra mix from the thatched house, and it is a waste to put it, so it looks colorful, according to Jiang Gongzi's words: it is more eye-catching and attracts customers.
Before the morning chicken crowed, Ying'er, who was still asleep, turned over, sleepily saw that the light was lit up in the kitchen, and a thin figure was busy under the dim dim light! It's still dark outside, and at this time of early autumn, there is already frost and dew before dawn, and it's still very cold! Ying'er saw Li Xinrui, who was waking up early in the frost and cold, her eyes couldn't help but heat up, and her mouth choked: Miss.........!
Li Xinrui was all ready in the kitchen, planning to take it out and put it on the trolley, and the moment she opened the kitchen door, a familiar shadow pounced on her........ well, Li Xinrui was a little caught off guard. I felt that this body was trembling a little, and there was a faint sound of muttering...... It's Ying'er! Li Xinrui straightened Ying'er, the little girl pouted, and her eyes were full of red tears. Li Xinrui took out a handkerchief with concern and wiped it for Ying'er: "Ying'er...... What's wrong, having a nightmare? ”
Ying'er looked at Li Xinrui with red eyes, didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly cried out ..... ..... wow: "Miss, we won't sell ..... Ying'er..... Ying'er will feed Miss!" Ying'er's words made Li Xinrui at a loss: yes, she could have lived a glamorous life...... But that's not what I want, I ....... want to be an innocent person!
Li Xinrui knocked Ying'er's head affectionately: "Silly girl, thirty wen a duck neck, we have to make money....... what is this hardship!" Ying'er still pouted: "That's Jiang Gongzi's whim, is Miss also confused......."
"Ying'er......! I'm not allowed to say any more, it's my own decision....... follow ...... It has nothing to do with Jiang Gongzi! Li Xinrui let go of Ying'er and began to put the paper bag and saucer containing the duck's neck on the cart. Ying'er looked at Li Xinrui's thin and stubborn figure, and sighed lowly: I still decided to help Miss share some of the burden. After everything was ready, Li Xinrui, with the help of Ying'er, pushed the cart and staggered all the way to the downtown area, where there were more people and the chance of selling was greater.
When the stall was set up, the sky was slightly bright, and the number of pedestrians on the street began to increase. Sure enough, as Jiang Yu said, the shape of the little yellow duck was realistic and novel, and it soon attracted onlookers from pedestrians, and everyone was interested in this peculiar little cart. Li Xinrui was enthusiastically promoting her exquisite duck neck next to her, but there was a problem - the price ........ said 30 wen a piece, and the onlookers shook their heads and waved their hands, and soon no one cared!
Ying'er stood on the side, seeing all the disappointment on Li Xinrui's face, and scolded Jiang Yu thousands of times in her heart. The temptation of the small cart is still very great, and a wave of onlookers came and went, and they were basically scared away by the price! Ying'er tugged at Li Xinrui's sleeve: "Miss........ let's ....... let's sell it cheaper, otherwise...... Otherwise......"
"Thirty Texts...... Jiang Gongzi said thirty wen, I want to try...... It should work! Li Xinrui said categorically, and forced a smile to face the guests. The weather in autumn is unpredictable, and heavy rains are coming. It's still sunny in the morning, but it can be cloudy in no time!
It should have been put on for two hours, and none of the duck necks were sold, but it caused a burst of heavy rain, and my heart was cold! Packing up their things, Li Xinrui and Ying'er hurriedly turned around and went home. The rain came quickly, and before the way home was halfway there, the master and servant were photographed in the rain, and the path home was muddy, and the small cart was especially difficult to walk!
The rain poured happily, and there were no umbrellas, and it was like a wash. Li Xinrui pushed the car as far as possible into the path, away from the river, the water rose under the rain, and I was afraid that I would not be able to come up if I fell into the river. It was self-defeating, the muddy path caused the slippery, and the cart fell to the river. Everything in the car fell into the river.
Li Xinrui took a step forward, half of his body fell into the river, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the sealed paper bags containing duck necks, but unfortunately the water rush still washed away two, nine duck necks, and now there are seven left! Ying'er grabbed Li Xinrui's sleeve tightly, and the tears on her face mixed with the rain: "Miss....... what are you doing here...... For this duck neck...... Don't even want your life? ”
Li Xinrui stood up from the water, her clothes soaked in water and stuck to her body, she looked more and more thin and pitiful, held the duck's neck firmly in her arms with both hands, and said with a smile: "Ying'er, look...... The water by the river is very shallow! This smile is poignant and moving, and it laughs at how much pathos there is in the world. Ying'er rushed over and hugged Li Xinrui to death, and her crying voice was drowned in the rain: "Miss.......!" ”
slept until three poles in the morning, and was awakened by a heavy rain, Jiang Yu was a little confused! Since the last time he was watered by the rain, Jiang Yu kind of likes the feeling of riding a donkey in the rain. asked for Lingyi from Wen Monkey, Jiang Yu planned to go out for a walk.
Li Xinrui struggled to get the small cart home, the duck neck was placed on the wooden table in the kitchen, and the master and servant took a bath and changed clothes. When Jiang Yu rode a donkey to find Li Xinrui, the master and servant were drying their hair under the porch, and the most difficult moment had passed. When Ying'er saw Jiang Yu, she remembered the hardships that the young lady endured for the duck neck, and she couldn't wait to beat Jiang Yu out with a mallet.
Li Xinrui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't let Jiang Yu see her embarrassment, and asked Jiang Yu to come in and sit with a smile. Jiang Yu looked at the seven duck necks on the wooden table and asked about this morning's business, but before Ying'er could complain, she was pressed down by Li Xinrui. Li Xinrui took out the only sixty yuan left on his body and held it up to Jiang Yu and said with a smile: "Jiang Gongzi still has a way, Ying'er and I sold two not long after we set up our stalls....... if it weren't for this rain, heh....... we might have sold more!" ”
