"You do the math again." Shopkeeper Yu said to the guy with a calm face.

The guy "crackled" and calculated for a while, and the calculation was still five hundred and forty Wen, his forehead was still sweating on the cold day, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little panicked, Qi Jiuli looked like he was scared, not like guilt.

"Lao Qi, I'm sorry, it's good that your son can do arithmetic, otherwise I would have no face today." Shopkeeper Yu said embarrassedly, and then urged the guy to take the copper coin, counted it again in person, and handed it to Qi Shan.

Seeing such a large string of copper coins, Qi Shixiang's eyes lit up, he looked down at the basket in his hand, and was about to ask out loud if people would accept eggs, but before he could say anything or act, he was pulled by Qi Jiuli, Qi Shixiang looked at it suspiciously, only to see Qi Jiuli shook his head vaguely, Qi Shixiang didn't know why, but he was obedient and didn't say anything.

"Lao Qi, you are really amazing, and the child teaches you so smartly." Shopkeeper Yu glanced at Qi Jiuli a few times and praised.

"Shopkeeper Yu, don't praise him, he is the most naughty one, and he usually pesters her brother to make noise." Qi Shan waved his hand and smiled, turned his head and glared at Qi Jiuli, who stuck out his tongue.

"Lao Qi, if you still have charcoal, you can send it to my shop, I will definitely accept it." Shopkeeper Yu pretended to be sincere.

"Shopkeeper Yu is refreshing, if there is still a must, it will be delivered." Qi Shan complimented Shopkeeper Yu a few more words before leading Qi Jiuli, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi out.

After walking a distance, Qi Shixiang spoke, "Sister, I wanted to sell eggs just now, why did you stop me from talking." ”

Qi Shixiang still carried the basket covered with coarse cloth in his hand, and inside was the eggs that were originally intended to be sold to Yu Ji grocery store.

"The shopkeeper of that store is not a good one, don't go to his house next time, pit people." Qi Jiuli sighed.

"Jiuli, did you really miscalculate the price?" Qi Shan was a little uncertain.

"Of course, if you're not mistaken, can you give me this price?" Qi Jiuli said, "And people didn't accidentally miscalculate, it was a deliberate miscalculation, I can see it, anyway, the surname Yu is not a good bird." ”

"Sister, do you know how to do arithmetic?" Qi Shiyi was surprised.

"Not so much, of course." Qi Jiuli touched his nose embarrassedly, "The main thing is that I remember, when I came to the town before, in the grain shop, someone bought grain, I forgot what kind of grain I bought, anyway, it was six wen a catty, I bought ninety catties, and the shop said five hundred and forty wen, and people gave so much." ”

"Coarse grains are basically six cents a catty." Qi Shiyi said clearly, "But sister, don't you remember anything, how do you remember this?" ”

Qi Jiuli muttered, "When the guy passed the scale just now, he said that it was ninety pounds, and I thought of this scene in my mind, how did I know such a coincidence." ”

Qi Jiuli is very weak-hearted, this lying is really not something that people do, this will take several rounds to make it happen to one, it's really tiring.

However, Qi Shan, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi believed it when they heard Qi Jiuli say this.

"Sister, it's good that you remember, otherwise we would have suffered a loss today." Qi Shixiang rejoiced.

"The shopkeeper is really not an honest one." Qi Shan sighed with emotion, "I didn't believe him a little when I said three dollars and one pound as soon as I opened my mouth before, and the price was not pressed like this, so I planned to sell him only two baskets." ”

"But he is right, now that we are in February, there are fewer people using charcoal, and we still have five baskets, and I don't know if we can sell them all today."

"Let's go to the big families in the town and ask, and if we're lucky, we might be able to sell them." Qi Shan said, "It's really not good, come to the grocery store in a few days, and sell this charcoal to Shopkeeper Yu, I can see that Shopkeeper Yu should have some way, otherwise it is impossible to say that he will accept as much as we have." ”

Remnant grocery store.

"Wang Sheng, you went with me just now, but did you find out something." Shopkeeper Yu looked at his fellow Wang Sheng with a calm face and asked.

"The shopkeeper, when the little one followed, saw his nephew looking at the two baskets." Wang Sheng said truthfully.

Shopkeeper Yu frowned and waved his hand, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and went to the backyard to work, he didn't take advantage of the accounts today, he thought that the shopkeeper would beat and scold.

"Dad, what do you have to do with those mud legs, our family is not short of those dozens of dollars." Yu Xingshu, the son of the shopkeeper Yu, didn't care about the road.

"It's not lacking, but it's the first time someone pointed out the mistake, and you have to be careful when you do something like this next time, I didn't expect me to look away, I thought it was a group of mud legs, I didn't expect there to be arithmetic, and it was so fast." Shopkeeper Yu said with an unhappy expression.

"Dad, why do you have to wear such coarse cloth when you work in the shop, I feel uncomfortable in it." Yu Xingshu muttered.

"Wear it like this in the shop, don't say such things again next time, you should listen to what I said before." Yu Mancang, the shopkeeper, frowned and glared at his son.

Yu Xingshu pouted, but he didn't say anything, his father said before, the basic people who come to the grocery store in the town to buy things are farmers, and they are dressed in coarse cloth and patches.

This Qi Shan took people back to the gate of the town, Chi Lingmiao tied the donkey, and the people walked back and forth on the side of the donkey cart, looking a little anxious.

"Auntie." Qi Jiuli shouted loudly, Chi Lingmiao turned his head, saw someone coming, and smiled, "Come back, how about it, sell ......"

Realizing that it was in the town, Chi Lingmiao's words didn't come out again, and when Qi Shan walked in, he kept looking at it expectantly.

"Liuwen." Qi Shan whispered, he knows what his daughter-in-law is, if he doesn't say it, Chi Lingmiao can always think about it.

Chi Lingmiao was surprised and delighted, "Then why do you only sell two baskets, can't people eat so much?" ”

"This price is still what we say, and people originally only wanted to give Sanwen." Qi Shan said, "That shopkeeper Yu is a little unauthentic, let's go and ask elsewhere, but if we can't sell it to him." ”

Chi Lingmiao nodded, "It's naturally best to sell more." ”

"Let's go to the big house and ask, and go to the back door of the house." Qi Shan drove the donkey and let Chi Lingmiao and Qi Jiuli sit on it.

Qi Jiuli sat on the donkey cart and looked at Qi Shan's back, she looked up to this uncle, Qi Shan is a very good person, and Qi Jiuli is very happy to have such elders to protect him.

Qi Shan turned left on the street and entered a relatively small alley, which was quite spacious, Qi Jiuli sat on the donkey cart and saw that the distance between the buildings on both sides was still quite large.

"This alley is full of the back doors of big families, let's knock on the door in turn." Qi Shan stopped the donkey cart, said a few words to Chi Lingmiao, and then asked her to knock on the door.
